I eat at this restaurant at least 3 time a week. The service is excellent, the food consistant, and they are dog friendly. I always sit out back on the patio and have a great time. The last time I was in my waitress was at another table (who had a dog) delivering the food. When she dropped it off, the dog then lunged and tried to bite her. She reacted as anyone would, telling the dog no and backing off. The dog owners not only did not say as much as sorry, but were offended when she asked them to remove the dog and informed them that it was not allowed back. I also would like to add that there was a table next to them that had several kids with them. I would just like to say that if you are that kind of dog owner, you have no business owning a dog. I hope that those dog owners read this and understand that they may ruin the privilege of being able to bring your dog to eat with you. I am very impressed with the waitress for keeping her cool in such a crappy situation.

The service at this broke-down restaurant was terrible! I've never had to deal with such bad service before! I've only been to Green Mesquite once and mark my word I will NEVER go back! It took nearly 30 minutes to get our drinks! And no they weren't alcohol drinks but rather 3 orders of iced tea! Then the waitress decided to never come back to take our food order! Instead she dropped by every other table around us and completely ignored our presence! But being dumb we waited it out. But the last straw came when our waitress brought the drinks to the table behind us and took their order before ours when they had gotten there nearly 20 minutes after us! We decided to leave money for our teas and leave! I made it a point to talk to a manager nicely before leaving only to be told that it was my fault for not flagging down the waitress and that I shouldn't come eat during March because they get extremely busy. Imagine how shocked I was! Hey if they're too busy to serve customers in March they should put a sign up in the front and let us know before hand. Besides, thats the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! Don't waste your money, time or appetite at this place.
Pros: Patio is dog friendly
Cons: Bad service, terrible management, dirty

This place has very little going for it. To its credit, the staff was relaltively friendly, and the atmosphere, i suppose - is about what you would expect for a BBQ place. When you first peruse the menu you will find that they think they can cook everything: jambalaya, beef bbq, pork bbq, various sandwiches. even mexican food. however, i doubt they can cook any of it good. fried okra: was clearly frozen kind, green beans: clearly from a can, pork bbq: was cheap roast pork as from a grocery store, brisket: actually ok, but not great... you get the idea.
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: bad food, bland

This place is great, not so much for the food, but for the great beer garden out back. On weekends they always have a funky Austin band playing. The chicken is pretty good and the chopped beef sammich is above standard. Fried okra is pretty tasty. This place burned down a few years ago and took some time to get up to codes. This is a very old building that used to be a roadside (that's a dirt road!) grocery. Good place to see how Austin used to be before all the dotcommers invaded and turned Austin into another Generica.
Pros: great back yard, live music, cheap beer
