"A real steakhouse with real people. No bs. Great steak and a good time. Truckers, park at the Valero and walk on over. It's way better that the Iron Skillet, Denny's, or any fast food at the other truck stops."

"For a bar this is a really great place to get a very cold beer and a delicious steak! We had the 16 oz ribeye and it was truly one of best I have had. Note, don’t be in a hurry."

"Wife and I traveling to Washington state from New Braunfels TX. Decided to finally rest and found a little RV park for the night. Walked to the restaurant for dinner and a couple of beverages. Excellent hand-pattied burger and triple decker BLT. Staff was very fun to interact with. Would definitely stop again next time we're in the area."

"I would like to share our wonderful experience at this little hole in a wall restaurant/saloon. Three truck drivers walked in Wednesday at 9:30 pm, not knowing what to expect, asking about the steak house. We were greeted by two gentlemen, Blake and Joe. After they mentioned restaurant had closed earlier, we asked what was opened nearby, when a lady approached us asking what kind of food we were looking for? Tacos or burgers? I thought she was asking so she could guide us to a nearby location. Boy, was I wrong! She was asking so she could go back into the kitchen and start cooking for us. She walks out with 3 soft tacos, along with fresh cut lettuce and tomato. U can tell, everything is homemade and cooked from the heart. This is a perfect example of a place where u walk in as strangers and leave like family. I would really love to thank Angie Flores along with Joe Williams and Blake for their wonderful hospitality."

"Do not let the location or the fact you enter through a bar fool you. This place is great and has amazing service and hospitality. It felt like we went back in time and ate at a restaurant old school. They make all of their food to order, so it takes longer than normal, but it’s fresh and delicious. We had the ribeye steak, cooked to perfection. Our son got a mini hamburger that he loved. It smelled great. I cannot say enough good things about this little restaurant."

"Ms Angie is a wonderful lady, owner, cook and bartender. Steaks are amazing but ask for the special! Make sure you act appropriately, she doesn't put up with tomfoolery"
