Have been here several times and all experiences were great. To start I had their old fashioned which was well balanced. For the table we had the Texas Twinkie which was very good (three of us ordered two twinkies). The fried chicken never disappoints and it’s great they offer a gluten free option as my son has celiac. The sides are also consistently good and this time around we had the brussels sprouts which were excellent. For desert we tried the (gluten free) banana pudding cheesecake which was very good. I’d order all items again. Service was great as usual. Would highly recommend.
