Great northwest Austin BBQ place. Had a late lunch there last week and it was excellent. I wasn't expecting this broad of a selection -- they had barbecue, chicken fried steak, burgers, catfish and lots of side dishes: potato salad, fried okra, french fries, mac & cheese.

We had five people in our party, and they ALL got something they liked. I had a pork rib BBQ plate -- very tasty -- with their home made potato salad, really good. The others had burgers (one a 3/4 lb. Texan), BBQ brisket plate and a shrimp plate.

We got so full with the main course, we could only nibble at the peach cobbler we ordered for dessert, but it was delicious. Wish I'd paced myself a little more; would have liked to finish it.

Can't wait to try some more things when I'm back in Cedar Park next week.

Used to be good. This used to be a great place for weekend breakfast, but they've raised prices substantially while also drastically shrinking portions. when I asked them about it I got a really nasty, defensive from the only guy in the place who spoke English. $5 for 2 pieces of patty sausage, a biscuit and a little gravy and not even a drink? $2 for a bacon egg taco that's half the size they used to be for $1.50 which has the equivalent of 5-6 bacon bit sized pieces of bacon? Another fifty cents for a few strands of shredded cheese?

An don't forget bad, argumentative, contemptuous service when you mention how small the portions are (innocently asking if a mistake was made).

Another mediocre, over priced, bad service place in the bastion of mediocrity, Cedar Park. Too bad we can't have anyone with a clue in this town... decent service is easy. Decent quality is easy. Reasonable portions for the price is easy and you can make a good profit at it. The problem is people who have no passion, treat food as a commodity, and want to just "pull one over" on people and squeeze them for every dollar possible.
