This new location recently opened after teasing us for a long time. Currently it is only open for breakfast and lunch, but they hope to add dinner service. We stopped in at lunchtime and got a mix of items.
On the breakfast side we got the breakfast skillet. Potatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, cheese, two eggs, and we had bacon for the meat. The skillet is nicely presented and makes you want to eat it. It's a fine blend of flavors, everything done competently.For a mix we got the chicken and waffles--chicken fingers and waffles with syrup. This dish for me is a triumph of hope over experience--I love the idea but it's almost never executed the way I would want. This one came closer than most--the waffles were crisp and light, as was the chicken. It's hard to get chicken fingers to be juicy, and these were just a little dry. The syrup helps that as a condiment, but for me the breading has to be really salty to hold up to the syrup and this wasn't quite there. Still a good try.
For a lunch entree we got the Southwest pork chops. Another dish that I love to order but is hard to get right. Again they came close. The southwest mix on top is very tasty. The chops were over by about 30 seconds (doesn't take long with thin chops on a hot grill). Pretty good and I enjoyed it.
The dessert was very limited--they did not have ice cream so the only one they had was peach cobbler. It was a decent representation, more of a breaded top than a crumble. Made with canned peaches, which is the Texas way.
The menu is huge so there's lots of room to go back and try things. They have burgers, Tex-Mex and lots of classic comfort food. I'm sure we'll be back because they have something for everyone. Service is casual, just sit down and they'll find you. The place was clean and bustling when we were there. Glad to have them open!
