    The food is very good here, but the service was so bad that I don’t think I could return. This restaurant could be successful if they hired a manager and staff that work together and help each other.

    We had a late dinner there. It wasn’t that busy. We ordered a couple steaks. Both were overcooked by one level. We sent one of them back. The next one came out perfect. Server was attentive and made sure that the second steak was right. Having the steaks come out at different times threw the meal off.

    Highly recommended!!! This place is super tasty! My wife and I have been twice now, and the most recent time we got to meet the owner and he is super cool and personable. Food was freakin fantastic- I got the Mancha burger and the lemon orzo and omg- so freakin good! The lemon orzo is the best I've EVER HAD! and the burger- hot damn so fab! My gal got the buttermilk chicken sandwich which was again, great!!!! Service, food, and atmosphere are awesome 👌

    We had 6:30 reservations for 5 on a Tuesday. Glad we did because it was busy. Servers came immediately for drinks. They had run out of one of our choices of appetizers. Pricey $15 French fries, pizzas very good size and value, Brussels sprouts good portion and value for $17. Cocktails are pricey at $17. Skip the lettuce wraps, chicken dry. Beef tacos a bit stingy with the meat. Stick to the pizza and patio.

    We have given this restaurant now several times the benefit of the doubt, but service has gone from bad to worse, if that even was possible. Had to wait 30 minutes for our drinks, perhaps if the bartender had not been flirting , he could have made ou drinks. Waitress had order wrong, never came by to see if we wanted so.ething. table next to us had similar issues, they even went to fill up their water glasses themselves. 3 times is enough. Never again.

    The Brussels sprouts were drenched in vinegar. The bistec tacos barely had any meat. The prime rib sandwich couldn’t be eaten like a sandwich because everything was stacked open faced. There was entirely too much horseradish. The sandwich bread was hard and the fries were hard. The only thing that was decent was the pizza. We didn’t have drinks half the time we were there.

    Great food. The Filet was amazing. The Prime Rib special was equally as good. Very loud inside the restaurant but they do have an outdoor patio as well. The pizza looked good and cooked in an oven open to the public so really neat to watch. Looking forward to our next visit.

    If you’re going for cocktails, pizza, and dessert, you’re in luck. They do those things well. Everything else was subpar at best. Specified meat temp for a burger, it came out over cooked. They didn’t have 50% of their wine list. The New York Strip was the correct temp but lacked any flavor. Salmon was over cooked. The Brussel Sprouts had so much vinegar that it was all you could taste. Server tried hard, but they were clearly understaffed, and that combine with the kitchen woes only set her up to fail. They were out of the donuts, so I had to go to Tiff’s Treat to prevent a 3 and 8 year old from ending the evening in tears. Again, excellent drinks and pizza.

    It is much better than the original version when it first opened. Menu is better, more approachable and better value. Food is very good. The steak tacos were excellent. Unfortunately, as it is now all too common in the industry they seemed to be short staffed with service personnel. Owners were trying and engaged, waiting in tables, bartending, etc but in a Friday night and a full restaurant it was overwhelming. All staff were friendly, and were trying their best. We definitely will try again. Great vibe, delicious food and good folks. Thank you.

    The brussel sprouts were great. The Bull pizza was good, but ricotta was weird and dough was chewy. The steak was fatty, over cooked, tough and several pieces inedible. The server was good, but seemed like the only server for the entire place so we never got a chance for a second drink and had to flag them down to ask for our check.

    We were there for a birthday and an anniversary dinner. It was not busy however the servers were a little too anxious to clear our cocktail glasses before we even finished the drink. The same happened with the food. We clearly were still enjoying the dish when they whisked it away. I stoped them with the drink. 🥺

    We had dinner with our 4 yr old granddaughter and it was an outstanding experience. The food and service were excellent and our granddaughter really enjoyed the kids mac & cheese and lemonade. Noise levels were low so it was easy to hold a conversation without having to shout. A great night out...I highly recommend...

    We didn’t get to eat. Despite a reservation they were closed for a private party. Several of us who had reservations were turned away by a locked door and only a sign. We went to Vaqueros for an excellent brunch.

    Not a good first impression. Booked a party of 8 for brunch for a baby shower we were hosting. Made reservations on open table a month ago, even got a confirmation the night before asking if we were still coming. Got to restaurant only to find it empty and closed. Called the restaurant and no one answered. Went up to Vaqueros last minute and had an excellent brunch there. Hate to leave a bad review without even setting foot in the restaurant but this is unacceptable to have not called anyone on the reservation list and let them know that the place is closed for whatever reason. Not professional and not planning on dining there in the future because of this lack of customer service or courtesy

    We tried to order drinks at beginning of our dinner. Many of the top shelf liquors on their menu, were not actually carried. Same story for dessert. Looked forward to trying their cheesecake on the menu, but they apparently don't carry it anymore, even though it's on their menu. I contacted them with these concerns, hoping they would respond, and I wouldn't post this here. But, they never responded to my email.

    We were disappointed on our fathers day event. Last year that had great service, app choices, and fathers day specials. This year they had sandwiches for the specials, were out of lobster as well as other options. they had many staff but only one person seemed to be assisting us but even then she was forgetful and lacked follow through. Saying that I will say we were a party of 9, and there was only ONE OTHER PARTY in the small restaurant. They had only one of the three options for desserts as well. The meal was basic and lacked flavor, proper temps, and overall appearances and care. The meals definitely not worth the price of a steak house their menu pricing suggests.

    I found this restaurant online, based on the menu listed there I opted to take the family since everyone would have something special to eat. Come to our surprise, their menu has changed and we had to improvise. Mixed drinks weren’t tasty but nothing a cold beer can’t fix.

    In short, average. Probably ok if you live in the neighborhood and don't want to travel, but not worth searching out for dinner if you don't. Our waiter Eli, while nice and very friendly (and on his 3rd day), clearly had never read the menu as he had to look over my shoulder when we asked for anything. The manager, who had to fire a waitperson while we were there, was incredibly friendly to just about everyone in the restaurant but altogether avoided talking to us for some reason, even when we left and walked right by him. Not a thank you, good night, come back, or anything. Stra ge as we spent over $100 for two on dinner. The food was average as well. Osso was dry (it's not supposed to be), and the steak fritz was a fatty piece of meat my wife had difficulty eating. The fries were good. We have been looking for things in the area that are good and worth revisiting and have found quite a few places, but it wasn't here, unfortunately.

    This is the worse experience I have ever had at a steak house. The server did not know what he was doing, had no knowledge of the menu and never even picked up the dirty dishes or menus. The sad part is, that was not the worse. The food was luke warm at best. The shrimp was floating in oil and over cooked. We ordered their ribeye, it was under seasoned, seemed like it was cooked earlier in the day and reheated, and had a thin grey line in the middle (tasted and felt like it was frozen at one point). It got so crazy, when we asked for steak sauce (A1, Heinz’s 57…), we were told they did not know what we were asking for and brought us salsa. When we explained to the manager, he acted like we did not know what we were talking about. He was condescending and basically blaming us. So NO, this place is not worth donating your money to! I asked the waiter how long he had been there and he said it’s his 2nd day. I felt so bad for him because his own manager isn’t even making sure if he simply understands his job and responsibilities and has failed this young man! If I could rate them a negative star, I would.

    Atmosphere and waitress were awesome, however probably the worst food delivery ever. Got there at 6:30 for a table of 9 and by 8:10 they were finally bringing out the last plate of undercooked steak...like cold center. Table of 9 food was coming out a single plate at a time(with kids plates last) between 5-10 minutes apart. Will not be back

    This was Mother's Day brunch, so the menu was limited, but all 4 of us got something different and no one enjoyed their meal. Someone got the lamb chops and they came 20 mins after everyone else got their food that was cold. The lamb was pretty raw, so we had to send it back. It still wasn't good. The drinks were fine. The service was ok. Servers seem to be aware of the situation and were solemn. The table next to us got several things comped because they complained. We didn't complain, but the food was left on the plates and no one asked how our meal was. All together disappointing, especially for Mother's Day.

    This place was fantastic! Met some friends here; drinks and food were incredible! Can’t believe we’d never tried here before. Our waitress, Lana, was quick to get us our orders and helped with recommendations. The vibe is great for a date night, or just catching up with friends. Wonderful food, excellent service, will be back again!

    Most items on menu was sold out. Took 1 hour for appetizers and prime rib was over cooked. I do not recommend this restaurant!

    Frog & The BullResponded on April 5, 2023

    Robert, very sorry this was your experience, especially since it is not the norm. I am extra disappointed your prime rib did not turn out to your liking since it is something we receive accolades for far more often than not. The restaurant business is a tough business, and the current economy is brutal. This forces us to manage our cash flow carefully and contract our business staffing and stock to satisfy current demand / trends. Last Saturday was unusually busy and caught us short.

    Such a great little place that serves great Spanish food in a cultural wasteland away from downtown ATX. It’s a gem and fun place to go.
