    Can't wait to try it! My boyfriend and I drove from South Austin to get lunch there on a Sunday a couple months ago, but you had already sold out, which speaks volumes. You ladies still greeted us and gave us a complimentary dessert and green juice since you had sold out. (Both were great by the way!) We thought that was so kind and generous of y'all! We will make it back sometime to try the meats 😊😊

I like to see and support people who love what they do, are good at what they do and can make a great living at what they do. I enjoyed Chuck's video time while at Goldees, she has such a calm presence about her and now she is dialed in and focused at creating great food at Barbs. What a gentle soul and I love how she talks about her mom teaching her and now she teaches her mom. Her mom has a lot to be proud of. I'll make a trip to Barb's for sure. She has a great vision and bright future!
