    Underwhelmed. My eggs came cold. Brunch choices were limited. The breakfast sandwich came out wrong and nothing was done to make it right.

    Tldr: Don't plan on going following a Texas game. We wanted to grab dinner and drinks for a couple of hours before a show of Lincoln Hall and I'd liked all of my visits of OGS in the past- seemed like a no-brainer. Our reservation was right around when the Texas game ended and it was pretty wild (perfectly fine, I'm a huge college football fan and totally get it). Service was pretty slow but we weren't rushing so all good. My primary issue was that once the game ended, the DJ started... at 6:30. It was louder than any bar/club/concert I've ever been to, and my husband and I eventually gave up trying to talk since we couldn't yell any louder and there was no chance of hearing one another. We ate and watched another game in silence (not counting the raging nightclub music) and were told in the middle of our meal that we needed to cash out because our server wanted to go home. Also not an issue, as I've been in her shoes, but it was super pushy and I don't really enjoy being told what to do while being mid-bite. She ran my card and brought it back in the span of about 27 seconds, which was definitely the most attention given to anything throughout our visit. Another server never came by to offer more drinks or check on the table, even though the initial server said there would be someone available, so we gave up waiting and went to the bar. Should have done that from the very beginning because the experience was infinitely better once we moved.

    Went here after seeing an Instagram post about it. Went with friends and we were all very disappointed. Immediately when walking in, we got the feeling of being at a college hang out spot. The first table we sat at was very wobbly and waitress spilled water over my friend. We asked to be moved to a booth, no napkins were provided to my friend to dry her off. We ordered and our drinks finally arrived. My friend and I ordered slushees - they were all melted, definitely more water than slushee consistency. We ordered food and not all of our food arrived on time, so our friend (who had water spilled on her) had to wait for her food and ask the waitress about it. Overall, this may be more of a college hang out, or a pregame hang out. Not what any of us expected, won’t be coming back.
