A very hesitant one star. Loud radio!! blaring into such a delightful outside eating setting verges on criminal.
Brisket sliders were dry - both meat and buns - and virtually tasteless. Coleslaw on the side was delicious. Fries were ok. Fish tacos were good. Accompanying beans may have been beans somewhere in their past, but not today. Reminded me of that dark, chunky liquid at the bottom of a can of beans when you drain it.
Draft beer was draft beer. Sangria was an ok approximation.
Waitress was of good assistance when we asked about having the radio turned down. But I still had to speak with a "manager" to get it turned down more to the point we could have a conversation. Was informed it was happy hour and the customers want that sound. I said we have come here every year because of the wonderful outdoor setting and the ambience that creates. (It never occurred to me that the 50, 60, and 70 year olds who made up most of the customers "wanted" that volume of radio music and announcer's voice blaring from the 8 or so speakers pointed down onto diners.)
The woman in charge (and don't you forget it!) of allowing you to be seated was singularly offputting with her unfriendliness. Can you spell 'haughtiness'? Pretty much the opposite of the welcoming greeting one gets almost everywhere else.
My conclusion is that Jackalope Ranch television ads are "much ado about nothing".
Really too bad. We used to love coming here.
