Great place. Great experience. Would go back. Lots to look at on the walls and the layout is cool, similar to Cracker Barrel vibes. The in person menu is different than the online menu so FYI, prices don’t match up the same. Would be nice if they served bread as an appetizer but sadly they do NOT. Would have to try something else other than the chicken fried chicken, for me the breading had way too much black pepper, but my brother loved it so yeah!

Stopped her during a break between our kids' marching band contest in Aubry. Our server Aaron was awesome. Food was fast and good. I had Mai Mai Tacos. Prices were fair. Would definitely come here again if in the area. Disclaimer, the attached pictures are of a carved tree located 0.7 miles north on the right side of Naylor Rd. Turn right at the small road just before Fishtrap Rd.

Great place for great food! We had pulled pork sandwich- chicken fried chicken- 3 meet bbq plate. ( brisket- ribs-pulled pork. The cfc was excellent & the lunch special which was a plus! The brisket was a little dry, but everything else was excellent. They also have live music on the weekends.

PROs: Great location. Plenty of parking. Hostess was welcoming and friendly. Customer service top notch. Great menu options. Establishment appeared cleaned and orderly. CONs: Baked potatoes/sweet potato are not available until 'noon'. Our order was entered at 11:54am. Miranda, an excellent waitress, friendly and attentive. $56 (plus tip) we ordered Chicken Fried Chicken, Fried Catfish & decaf coffee. Fried Chicken meal was fine. The Fried Catfish was tasteless and bland, unable to finish the dish. And our side dishes were lukewarm.

What an awesome place to eat! Great food and service. We celebrated my Wifey Boss Boss 70th birthday there and they treated everyone super special.

I didn't have time to take a picture of our food but let me tell you, and trust me on this, it was DELICIOUS! We had ribs, pulled pork and tri-tip; white mac and cheese, and french fries. Totally recommend it and also our server was SUPER friendly and attentive who went all extra and beyond; I wish I could remember his name but we left a generous tip for sure, well deserved. Good music, good ambience... Great experience for Californians in Texas for the first time.

The atmosphere was so cool, we went on a night they had live music and really enjoyed ourselves. The food was pretty good, nothing out of the ordinary. The prices were definitely on par with the quality of food. The drinks were delicious. They had a good selection of beer as well. We will definitely return and try more menu items. The desert was top-notch!
