The Border Bar

Went to eat here on a Sunday during the off season. Some locals were there, and the space is so fun. It is split in half to be both "Annabelle's BBQ" and "Barrio Tacos." The decor aligns as do the menus. Great option for groups that are split between Mexican and BBQ. Pictured are the Coffee & Cream boozy milkshake (the bourbon whipped cream was divine), the shrimp tamale (note the tamale is just masa, as someone used to TexMex it is not a stuffed tamale), and the 1/2 Hot Mess nachos (chips were delicious, my toddler ate a good chunk). Not pictured is their Brunswick Stew, think pozole meets chili meets beef stew? Not sure how to describe it, but it was delicious and a nice slice to get my nose running a little. Sharing this spot with friends and hope to come back.

Great concept of smashing together two different successful restaurants to give you a wide selection! We had the margarita, whiskey sour, a few beers and the special bandera shot trio to start. These drinks are priceyyyy but strong, you get your moneys worth. To eat, some got tacos which were, in their words, “banging, 11/10, phenomenal” and the other half got the bbq with pulled pork sandwiches, the Cuban and sides of coleslaw, mac & cheese collards, and cornbread. Everything was AMAZING can’t wait to go back and try more things off their menu.

Came in because this place was recommended by a server at Liquid Assets. I'm a big fan of this spot. It's a no nonsense chilled out place that is all about the slow and low meats. I had the loaded grilled cheese--it was more of a pulled pork brisket sandwich with cheese and buttered grilled bread. Amazingly rich and quality meat. Also, the milkshake was super thick and delicious.
