Good food, neat vibe, neat location, but pricey for what you're getting.

Expensive for pizza, but very very good. Long waits, primarily outside (not good in bad weather)

Had the fireside meatball pizza and the garlic cheese toast. Both were excellent - flavorful without being arresting, and done to perfection.

The location on Belt Line in Addison/N. Dallas is now open as well.

They spared no expense in the decoration of the place. The prices, for Tex-Mex, are quite high - tacos al carbon for $17.50, for example - but the quality is high to match.

Great people watching on the patio at the Oak Lawn location.

This ex-Chicagoan thanks Harry for serving the finest Vienna Beef hot dogs. Not to be missed.

The custard's pretty good too. :)

Good pub grub at medium-to-high prices. The beer list and SCOTCH list is extensive, but not cheap.

Burger I had was well-cooked, and the fries were tasty and had a nice texture.

Definitely the kind of place you go with a "leaving time" in mind. The tab racks up very quickly, especially with $5.50 and up beer and $8 and up scotch.

Pricey for not-large portions. Good selection of beers on tap, but most are cheaper elsewhere. Sidewalk seating is nice but crowded - you're quite close to your neighbor.

Never quite matched the energy of Ciudad, which closed. Food decent to good, and service slow at times, but decent.

Split plate charge for EACH plate given, not just ONE. Bit of a rip, there.

Not worth the trip to Deep Ellum, IMHO.

As a "plate holder"... even after my onus was abated and I had tried 200 different beers, I keep coming back here. The staff is friendly, the crowd is less Addison-y than a lot of places nearby.

The live music is often very good. The place can get crowded for big acts.

Great, fresh-made burgers and buns. Order a small fry unless you REALLY REALLY like french fries.

Best french fries I've had... ever. Nice patio, too.

Service has been spotty at times when I've been here but never HORRIBLE.
