Cozy as a cabin with a knotty pine interior, wagon-wheel light fixtures, and gingham check curtains, this hangout has all the old reliables like Texas brisket and babyback ribs. But you’ll also be surprised by the specials: smoked pork chimichangas, chorizo ravioli, and even fried vanilla ice cream. With at least a dozen brews on tap and breweries featured on special evenings, this place is barfly heaven.
