Tammy Gordon: Great lunch spot during SXSW. Patio. Chicken fried steak, shrimp corn dogs... oh yeah and good salads. ;)
Off The Quad: Half-priced apps at happy hour, so double up. We love the Beer Battered Asparagus and Moonshine “corn dog” Shrimp.
Sarah Jutras: Order the Rainbow Trout with Corn Bread Stuffing, the Moonshine "corn dog" shrimp, and the signature skillet apple pie for dessert. Then do it again the next night.

Holly Jones: The mushroom gratin was awesome! The pisco inferno and queens park swizzle are the best drinks!

Bill Spearman: The giant pretzel is a great way to start your meal and the brats and German potato salad should not be missed.
