Ozan VuralMay 2, 2013If you're here, stay calm and get out. Move to the Hill Country Barbeque Market and eat some real stuff.
Jonathan OatisJanuary 7, 2013Fried chicken is THE thing to get here. There are other dishes, such as a chicken pot pie, but the fried chicken is their specialty.
Sandra RubinchikOctober 19, 2014There's a downstairs area with games and other distractions great for kids.
Chickwich is pretty killer. Pair it with a Boylan's fountain soda—even the ice is incredible.
christine yiFebruary 24, 2011don't skip the pies - the pecan was fantastic. don't you wish they had gravy for those biscuits (which are tasty but a touch dry)?
Michael GesmeApril 15, 2013Best chicken tenders I've ever had, and I'm from the South. I know my fried chicken.
Dave LankfordSeptember 9, 20122 drums (Mama Els) + 1 breast (classic) + 1 small mac 'n' cheese + 2 PBR = recipe for heaven

Sit in the back so u can eat the chicken with your hands freely.
Make sure you save your receipt. It's usually good for 10% off your next meal.
Mama El's recipe, cheesy fried mashed potatoes, and a Yella Pils to wash it down is the way to go. Yum
Andre MarsdenApril 18, 2015The Mac and cheese makes me want to die because in life can ever be better!
Joseph GalloApril 30, 2011Try the fried chicken - Delicious! My first meal here - chicken with cheesey mashed potatoea and fire n ice pickles
Laura KunkelApril 21, 2011The chicken tenders are big, so I just order the kids coop so I have less guilt about those awesome cheesy fried mashed potatoes!!
Danielle MissJourneyMarch 5, 2012The chicken and waffles just made my top 5 list. And the Boylan fountain is cool.
The Hill Country classic fried chicken is awesome! Crispy and a little bit of smokey sweet. So yummy!
Laura ChinMarch 16, 2012I'm usually a banana creme pie gal but the creme brûlée pie is the way to go
Timothy StevensSeptember 3, 2013Be sure to get the fries and try sitting downstairs in Grandpa's Rec Room
Keilon LawrenceMay 13, 2014It's good chicken and all but they could stand to lay off the peppercorn a little. Crush it down and use less.
Must get: cheesy fried mashed potatoes. Get the large to go with your chicken and gain the respect of all your office mates.
Brigette R.June 14, 2011Being from the South, this is the perfect place to get my fried chicken + country music fix! Only thing missing is sweet tea...
Kushal DaveOctober 1, 2012Downstairs is awesome. Furnished like an 80s den with carpeting and vintage games.
Amazing fried chicken! Mama Els version is a little crispier, but I prefer the Hill Country Classic style.
Dina FierroApril 19, 2014A breakfast biscuit to go could easily take 25 minutes or more. Not for those in the remotest of a hurry.
Ethan ASeptember 21, 2010Mama El's chicken is amazing. Mashed potatoes are out of this world. Boylan's Sodas on tap. What else do you want?
Charles BDecember 16, 2011this place is f'ing amazing. get the chicken "Ella" style and get weird with their tangy hot sauce.
Cuppy CakeAugust 20, 2011Chicken is tender you can choose skinless or with skin not salty:) server is nice too, try this place:)
Get the solo coop - Mama El's style. It's more than enough food for one person.
How to lose a customer: Charge 50 cents for BBQ sauce (for my $10 sandwich, as part of my $18 lunch). #Insutling #NickeAndDiming #EPICFAIL
