Fantastic low-key dive bar right off the highway. We just so happened to stay a little over a mile away and decided to give this place a try. We got lucky and went on two for one hotdog night. They were delicious so we came back for burgers the next night. Top notch. Great back patio. Owner was super cool and engaging. All staff very pleasant and helpful. Dont judge a book by its cover. This is a good stop to make. You can get a cheeseburger AND a chili dog with a bud heavy for $12!

This place is exactly like it wants to be. The food is good, the beer is beer, and it can take a while to place an order, but who cares. Great bar without the pretense of new Austin vibes.

A true dive bar with a wonderful staff and stiff pours. We didnt eat, but friends say the cheese burger and hot dogs are great and are featured in a regular special.

Food is decent but the bar staff was trash; only one beer opener who just talked extensively to other customers/friends, so it took about 15 mins to get an order in; with less than 10 customers. Might just be the vibe. some other guy eventually came to fulfill orders while the original bartender took smoke breaks and talked.

Service is terrible. Couldnt get the bartenders attention. They were more interested in chatting than doing their job. I waited ten minutes before I walked out. The parking lot was full of nails. Found a pile of about 20 nails by my car. Wont be coming back or recommending it.

My friend and I wanted to try this place because we pass by it often whenever we drive around. When we got there, it took the bartender a while to get to us. The bar wasn t too packed, but it still felt like it took a good 5-10 minutes to get to us. After taking our order, we waited. And waited. And waited. We waited for almost an hour before our food was given to us. We weren t given any updates on our food as it was being made and the bartenders seemed to be more interested in chatting than with service. We were on the verge of asking for our money back and leaving, but since the food arrived, we figured we can stay to eat. The burger I ordered tasted burnt on the edges (which I personally like) and the chili dog had some spice to it. Overall, the food tasted good, but was not unique. I do, however, want to admit that the space itself is very down to earth and relaxed. If I ever come back, I ll probably only order a drink or two at most. Great atmosphere, decent food, but substandard service. Doubtful I ll come back, but it was at least worth a shot.

Chill low-tech dive bar but ouch at those prices. A double deep eddys and a burger will run you 30 bucks. Those are not dive bar prices. The burger was exactly what I d expect from a dive bar, greasy small and kind of burnt, but that s what I was looking for. The prices are the only reason I won t be returning, everything else was fine.

This is my new favorite bar. Admittedly, I love a dive bar, and the cat just clinches it for me. The Cat, OC, (also known as orange cat) pretty much encompasses the vibe of this place. Take me as I am, i m a cool cat, but that s not important cause I m checking out my friends. Drinks were good, bartender had a great personality with a little bit of flare, and patrons were very friendly and normal neighbors . Felt like a great neighborhood bar, I will be back!

Bartender night of the 27th was a little rough around the edges but was nice enough (thought I was drunk off two beers due to my alerted gait as I have half a leg missing and wore shorts to make sure hed see but guess he didnt) no biggy. But man LUKIA (LUKE) was awesome on a whole nother level! Deserves a raise for going above and beyond even if he pretends its not a big deal. Hes a humble cool dude Ill be going back just to chill with him if not for the great hotdogs. Guys service was on point!

Really?? After sitting for an hour for my food ,the person next to me, who ordered their food 40 minutes into my wait, got their food first? I have praised this place to no less than 30 people . The entire reason I went in there after work was because I didnt want to wait to eat at home , ffs I could have drove home prepped, cooked, took a shower ,and drove back before those chuckle effes got their S together, but noooo my irritation burned so many calories, I had to hit a micky Dees on the way home .youre dead to me silver meda

Just realized Ive been a regular here for the better part of a year and havent left a review. The staff is awesome, from the bartenders right down to the cooks. Their burgers slap, prices on drinks are great, and I cant help but to stop in and grab one of their frito pies now and then. They have recently extended the outdoor seating to offer more coverage and a pool table, just bring quarters! Hands down, my favorite bar in the world, yes they are a dive bar and the best Ive ever been to. Even if I moved out of area, I would still stop in here when I could.
