This musicians’ mecca serves up outsize portions of combo dinners (brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and sausage) in a roadhouse atmosphere. Tex-Mex is alive and well here, with pulled-pork nachos a special treat. Experiment with the house-made sauces in fun flavors like sticky bourbon and chipotle raspberry. Poker night every Tuesday!
