"Great home cooked food. The brisket is always tender, and the cream gravy on the chicken fried steak is the real deal. This is the kind of place you bring your family."
"Best breakfast in Highlands, hands down. The sampler plate is huge and the biscuits with sausage gravy hit different. We come here every Sunday morning."
"The ribs are unbelievable. Fall-off-the-bone tender with just the right amount of smoke. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. Real Texas BBQ right here."
