My family and I frequent the McDonough and Fayetteville locations and we have never had a bad experience. The food is pretty good, substitute the beef brisket in anything that comes with beef (hamburger meat) and you cannot go wrong. The atmosphere can be noisy at times and there is usally a wait (a testament to the popularity of the place). So go early or go late to avoid the wait, go at primetime and you could wait anywhere from 30 mins to an hour. The chips and salsa is pretty good but the heat of the salsa is sometimes inconsistent. The timing of the courses feels sometimes rushed but if you don't have any appetizers your food gets to your table rather quickly and steaming hot. The service is usually outstanding but sometimes can get slow with the big crowds these places serve. My biggest complaint is about the sopapillas. Sopapillas do not consist of flour tortillas deep fried and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. A real sopapilla is pretty much like a hollowed out roll of warm soft dough that has been lightly fried and is served with a side of honey. You tear the corner off the sopapilla and fill it with a little bit of honey and you have heaven. I have even emailed their website, informing them of their mistake and was never given a reply. Other that that, it's a good place to eat.
Pros: Good food, great prices, quick service most of the times
Cons: timing of the food, crowds, noisy, no real sopapillas
