Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014There are Bloody Marys or Marias, egg dishes galore, some seriously addictive yucca fries sprinkled with chili pepper and served with spicy queso dip, and a large bowl of pleasantly greasy red pozole. Read more
Best brunch in Decatur! I enjoy Sunday mornings with the band playing, a game is always on the tvs at the bar. Very laid back and friendly. Bottomless Mimosas. Crazy good French Toast! GO!!
Favorite place for ice cold beer, carnitas and famous parkers pickles is back. Friendly staff, great drinks and delicious Tex mex food - definitely a place to check out.- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014The cheese enchilada wrapped in a corn tortilla and smothered in pork chili verde, however, was an excellent pile of gooey, sinful goodness.

- Creative Loafing AtlantaSeptember 9, 2011Look for a Texas-inspired poutine dish using the brothers' stepmom's red chili sauce recipe, the vegetarian stacked enchiladas, and the flour (or corn) tortillas made with brisket from Fox Brothers.
Michael VenableDecember 31, 2012Fried Catfish is out of this world! Super flavorful thin breading, but all about the fish. Hush puppies were crazy good too!
Emily BlueJuly 13, 2013Our waitress, Joy is an absolute joy! Food is suberb, music is spot on & service is terrific! No reason not to go here again & again!
- Some of the best food in Atlanta. Save room for some of the best desserts ever. Warning the cheesecake is addictive.
Nikita FrazierApril 20, 2012Try the Canatas, fried cream corn, and greens. Also the fried pickles and Big Tex Cosmo, are to DIE for!!- Great bar and atmosphere... Fried avocado taco and roasted cream corn rocked! Ask for Mo... Great server who was friendly and attentive.
Jonna PatelMay 9, 2013We had wonderful service with Chassity! Super friendly pet friendly! And the food was amazing!
DrewOctober 20, 2012This place is more family-friendly than it should be and/or than you'd think. Lots of <10-year-old kids at most times of the day.
Terry GreshamMarch 19, 2013Not bad. Cool spot for a quick bite to eat. Loved the catfish. A decent alternative if you don't feel like going to Fox Bros.
💀 blood witch 💀June 23, 2011If your vegan get them to make the avocado taco fresh since they use eggs to bind and the frier isn't vegan the veggie burger was not up for menu yet so we don't know the deal with that
Best laid-back place to hang out in Decatur. Great patio. Great food. Friendly people. Great music.
Schooners - check. Chicken fried steak - check. Fried chicken - to die for! Red velvet cheesecake best anywhere!!
order the smoked wings, smothered in fox bros wings sauce, and chase it with a cold shiner bock
Great food, and great beer selection. The drinks are pretty dang good too
TJApril 15, 2012The Chicken Fried Steak is something awesome for breakfast. I recommend this steak if you come here.
Bryan RiddleMarch 27, 2012The pimento cheeseburger and Mac-n-cheese are awesome. Carnitas are also really good.
Gu3 MomNovember 26, 2013Parking is a major challenge; be prepared to walk a block. Seating is stiff; no padded seats/booths.
Bluegrass Brunch! Bottomless mimosas! Sunday is the best day!
