It doesn't look like much from the road but it's a great Texas Hill Country dive-bar with tasty burgers, live music (Saturdays), cold beverages, billiards & shuffle board. Nestled between Buchanan & Inks Lake, there are plenty of views from the back patio including Inks Lake, Buchanan Dam and hill country ranch land.

Not only is this a great spot for a casual burger and beer (side cafe) or a nice sit-down dinner (main diner area), the restaurant is the actual structure (formerly a house) used to film the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
