Came here for brunch for the first time and we absolutely loved it! Service was great and the food was delicious. We got an order of B-bombs w/ caramel sauce, a brunch bowl w/ pulled pork and over easy eggs and the Cowboy Benedict. It was all so delicious! Perfect place to go when you don’t want to wait at more crowded places for breakfast. Will definitely be coming back here again!

The Nashville hot chicken and red velvet waffles were so fkn good!! The chicken had a delicious crispy batter, which was actually spicy and so juicy! The red velvet was drizzled with chocolate sauce and came with syrup on the side, which I appreciated to control the sweetness. The mimosa carafe was only $9! Such a steal! And they were delicious!! We tried grapefruit and cranberry. My son had the basket case (scrambled eggs and no veggies). The bacon and the papas were crispy, and he really enjoyed it!

Savage Tavern serves brunch until 3 and both the hash and chicken fried steak with eggs were amazing. The staff is very friendly and attentive. This place is undiscovered but with food like this it won’t take long!

Love the outdoor patio because I can drink and smoke and watch football on a big screen TV. 2.50 beers till 8:00. Will definitely come back to watch the tech game here or an NFL game. Staff was very courteous food was good.

I had planned to go to 4/20 brunch on Sunday, but the banker couldn't make it. I had a brand new high performance e-scooter I wanted to test out, so I ride up that evening to lay eye balls on it. It was easily found and I rolled inside with my scooter and asked if it was ok she said out on the patio, there was an outlet if I needed to charge. I asked what they had she said they had a collection of Lubbock IPA brews. She said what do you like? I said thick and bitter, she grabbed a dark port. It was wonderful. Next a pilsner and she chose a can. I said Bottle? She said that was her choice. Delicious. Thirst quenching. The next was barkeep's choice and she just poured the glass and it was like dessert but it took sweet like a lemon wafer. I found the staff and the folks very friendly and an inviting vibe. I picked the one night it dead, and it was awesome. I still plan on hitting that brunch. They were glad to tell me all about it because evidently it's amazing. The Brunch drink menu was enough for me to come and see.

We went for Sunday brunch at 12:30pm. The staff was great. We had the French toast, avocado toast, and churo chicken and waffles. All were great.
