“ Great vibes, fast service, had to jalapeños cheddar bites very tasty! Wide selection of drinks! Kid friendly till 10pm Indoor & outdoor heated area. ”
“ Absolutely delicious food and 5star customer service. One of my favorites . You won't regret going ”
“ This is a fun place, good for families, dogs allowed, and the food is delicious and generously portioned. We went earlier in the evening on a cold day and they had the patio heaters going so sitting outside was still comfortable, as a sober person, I appreciate the non-alcoholic beer and mocktail options. There is a playground for the kids and two pickleball courts you can reserve. This is a fun place, we will definitely be back! ”
“ So I am not the one to leave reviews and this is my first. So it may be a bit long winded by think it is warranted. We spent the day this past Saturday at Bouldin Acres to watch the Chiefs play the Texans. The majority of the customers were there to cheer for the Texans of course. boooo We are huge Chiefs fans and were definitely the minority. We have been there many times over the past year to watch games and it has always been a good experience and nothing really to complain about. Our experience this past weekend had a different vibe to it though. So much my husband and I still were talking about it this morning and jokingly said, "we should leave a review! So here I am! haha. The bar as usual during games was very busy and all of the staff had their heads down trying to keep up with the orders coming in. They were all doing a fantastic job and they are all very skilled. But in typical fashion they all seemed a bit stressed outblike they were not having much fun and didn't seem eager to talk to the guests much. Which is all understandable and we were just focused on the game. Well about half way through the game, in comes another staff member behind the bar! His name was Brian and he let us know that very shortly after he came in! Not only did the attitude behind the bar completely shift to being positive, all of a sudden he had engaged the entire bar top, created a fun environment, to which we really all felt included in what was going on! It was amazing! He took the time to speak to everybody that had actually gotten seats at the bar, had a big smile and was laughing and having fun with everybody! While still making cocktails and keeping up with the high volume of orders coming in. We got to know a little about him and we honestly asked him if he was the owner because of the genuine care he seemed to have for the place! Obviously he was not and let us know he was one of the managers there. I hope upper management or owners or whoever sees this and we want to recommend that the staff follow his leadership! Sometimes the energy of the staff can make that place seem stressed and unhappy. If the fun, happy energy he brings can spread to the staff, this place would be unstoppable! Bravo. He made it a really fun day for all of us and he should be recognized for it! Go Chiefs! ”
“ Went with a group for an afternoon lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't my side of town, so I had no idea this place was even there. It's kind of tucked away and hidden next to the post office. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating and pickle ball courts too! Great for groups, individuals, families and furry friends also. There's plenty of options when it comes to the food. I was ecstatic when I saw there were several choices that included turkey because it's not on the online menu. Since I don't eat beef, chicken or pork, it's often hard to find something on menus I can heartily enjoy like everyone else. Especially if it's not a seafood restaurant or there aren't any turkey options. So kudos to the chef for variety. I hope it wasn't just because it was around thanksgiving. I ordered the buffalo turkey sandwich and loved it. It came with waffle fries and those were good too. The lemonade was just how I like it, not too sweet. It's easy to order from your table using the QR code and app and the food comes out pretty quickly. However, I had to take off a star, because this was my first time there and I had questions about and had to keep getting up to go to the bar to get them answered. It would've been great if a server could have come over to check on our group and see if we had any questions and explained their process. As well to remind us that using the app keeps an open tab. It was an hour or so later after we left when I realized that I had not technically paid and had to close out my tab. Otherwise it was a great time with good food. ”
“ Plenty of parking, well lit. Clean, open and spacious with 2 pickleball courts, play area for kids as well as a doggie enclosure. Plenty of picnic tables as well as tall top chairs and cute sitting areas. TV 's with sports and covered seating area also . Indoor seating also available with a bar and games. Water stations and dog bowls around the place. The menus are by QR code and tables are numbered so they bring the food out. Drinks are tasty too. We had a Bouldn boozy and a Mango tango. Very relaxing atmosphere and weather was perfect. Definitely a place to add to favorites. ”
“ This is my second trip here, the first time was a great experience. The atmosphere is lively, while still being kid friendly. I love that you can order from your table using the QR code or order drinks from the bar. This visit I ordered from the brunch menu and got the cheesesteak with brisket and fries. The sandwich was pretty bland. It was made with grilled peppers and onions. And a slice of cheese. After my first experience, the sandwich is not one that I would recommend. The cinnamon roll was pretty good, but the price of $8.. probably wouldn't order again. The chips and queso were delicious per usual. My friends also ordered the build your own mimosa kit and that is always enjoyable. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. I will return and simply try something new! ”
“ We had a lot of fun ordering shareables, which were tasty and unique. Not a lot of places around here have white barbecue sauce! Inside was almost like an airplane hangar. It was very large and spacious with a large bar. Since the weather was nice, we opted for the patio. We went a little later in the evening, at around 9 or so on a Thursday, and there were still a lot of kids and dogs around so if you have issues with either of those, waiting to go later won't solve the problem. We got a table pretty easily, although it was difficult to move the overly large and heavy chairs around. There are some pickleball courts, a small dog park, and lots of open space. I hate the app for ordering. We placed our order and the food came out quickly. We ordered pork crispito tacos, smoked wings, and loaded nachos. We ordered the nachos without pickled onions but they came anyway. It was easy enough to pick them off, though. The tacos were definitely our favorite. We will go back to try more things and maybe try sitting inside instead since most of my discomfort was due to where we were sitting, hence 4 stars. I have faith in this place, but it might be a minute before I go back. ”
“ Always a good experience!!! They have trivia and pickleball which are a blast. Drinks and food can be ordered straight to the table on the union app so zero work for you ”
