Exceptional customer service from Emeline and the staff. I highly recommend the hotel nacional special cocktail. The tropical juices were delicious and perfectly blended. I selected five award-winning beers. Mile marker 10 was my favorite from the list. I enjoyed the strait up sour, but not so much the hoofer's hef, and gussy up. The off-the-map was smooth and light.
I ordered the big bend pretzel, carnivore of love pizza, fish & chips, and happily shared the fried pickles, tikka masala poutine, Mediterranean chicken, and Nashville hot chicken & waffles. The big bend pretzel was indeed giant and softly baked. I wasn't a big fan of the smoked beer cheese. It was watered down and didn't have much of a beer cheese flavor. The fried pickles are beyond delicious! Each pickle spear was huge and perfectly battered with panko. The sriracha aioli paired well with the pickles. Carnivore of love pizza had a thin crust that was topped with protein. But, is it worth paying $20? The same goes for the $18 fish and chips. Regardless, both are delicious!
The tikka masala poutine, Mediterranean chicken, and Nashville hot chicken & waffles are all flavorful and worth trying during your visit. The establishment has a dark, elegant, laid-back vibe. Note: Brunch menu is available Sat & Sun. Ask how long the Rodeo Features menu will be available.
