This past weekend I just needed good ole Texas BBQ... So, JD and I decided to try something new and went to Uncle Billy's.
You know the food is that bad when the highlight of the night is the cutest five-year-old boy playing the harmonica with the band, and that I had a cold beer in my hand on this hot summer night.
They brag about their brewery (check out their web site), so I ordered the Agave Wit...it's sort of like a Hefeweizen. It was not bad...I think I'd order it again...if I went back...ever.
We ordered the fried okra. It was not very good, and the jalapeno ranch was way too spicy.They drew a heart on the ranch with bbq sauce...I guess the waitress thought we were dating? . Kudos to our waitress though, she was fantastic.
See the heart? LOL.I went for the chopped beef plate with potato salad and pinto beans as my sides.
The portion of the chopped beef was tiny, the potato salad was super bland and tasteless, and the beans were so salty my tongue went numb.
Tiny portionsJD had the chopped beef sandwich with fries. He wasn't impressed.
Overall a sucky culinary experience, but it's a pretty cool venue for live music and cold drinks if you sit outside.
Parking is quite challenging since the condos behind are still under construction. You have to go all the way past Chuy's, take a right, then go into their parking lot (which is not very big) and you can walk, or---get this---- take their shuttle. Yes, they have an 11 passenger van to take you from their sucky parking lot to the restaurant...cool, eh?
