How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

This place is an absolute must try!! The food is super tasty! They have a sauce bar with 7 homemade sauces. From sweet to spicy they have the sauce for you! We went in for trivia on Tuesday night which was super fun. The guy, Chris, did a great job. The pool tables connected to the restaurant are very nice. Great felt, new balls and great sticks. The beer prices at the bar were good $4.25 for a bud.

Such a cool place attached to Zoosters next door. Had a function here and a variety of items - all of which were delicious. The sausage fritters and southwest sausage flat bread pizza were my favorites. Would definitely recommend - unique flavors and incredible service.

Texican Bistro is such a gem! Staff are warm and welcoming; you can tell they genuinely care about their guests. Hubby and I stopped in for lunch and everything was absolutely delicious. The sausage fritters were perfectly seasoned and crispy, and the brisket flatbread was incredible — especially with their homemade BBQ sauce. Flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with love. Will be back!

The food was not good at all. The salsa for the chips and salsa appetizer tasted and looked like canned salsa. The brisket tasted off and looked like the brisket you buy at Costco from the prepared foods section that you can microwave. Lastly, it was really unfortunate there were so many flies in the restaurant. I was concerned about eating the food I had ordered because there were so many flies, one even fell into one of our cups. The person working the kitchen and register was very friendly and I could tell was trying their best to give us a good experience, but the quality of the food and amount of flies inside made me never want to go back.
