I’m dreaming of you every day, Sammie’s. What a blessing it is for those within driving distance. 😂 For seven months, you satisfied all of my burger-and-fries needs, and nothing else compares.

Nice GF variety, but a little pricey. It’s hard for me to pass up Jasmine’s GF fried Chinese chicken next door, but every once in a while I manage. 😂 They usually have gluten-free options from appetizers all the way through dessert, so it’s defini...

Yummmy. 🤤 Great gluten-free options, delicious cocktails, and hopefully good mocktails too. We’ll see. 😉 This is definitely on my Texas list. I’ve eaten here many times, both at the old location and the new one. The staff is knowledgeable about ...
