Carlos VillaviejaApril 3, 2013Avoid the salmon. It's spicy cooked under a huge gravy sauce with rice. Worst salmon ever. However, the crispy chicken is pretty decent
SHAWANNA hornJuly 31, 2015The food was awesome.. but the waiter wasn't good... had to wait an whole hour for an refill. By then it was time togo:(
PamelaJune 11, 2012Meh. Way overrated for what it is. We had fried catfish and chicken fried steak. Don't think I'll be going back anytime soon- overrated and overpriced.

"Must do stop for Austinites and highly recommend for tourists. Al about LBJ but usually some cool temporary exhibit. Don't be afraid to learn something!"
