Absolutely delectable brisket and rib tips. Got full so fast I had to take my pork sandwich with me. Great prices, chill atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem. Will be back!
Friendly owner! We enjoyed the rib tips, tamales and fish sandwich. Will definitely return!
Its tasty (feeling) yall, but hard to pin e'm down as to when they're actually open or WILL BE open! Inconsistencies kill patronage ( cannot waist a lunch break)!
Fresh cooked burger made by a very experienced cook! I definitely will be going back!
Having heard about the long history of Happy's, we decided to stop in to pick up lunch. I'm not going to lie, I was a little surprised by the interior of the building and almost turned around. But the delicious scent of food drew us in. We placed our to go order (a brisket sandwich with beans and a chili dog with onion rings) and sat at the counter to wait. The only person working was the owner, so we knew we'd be waiting a bit. After we'd been waiting about 5 or 10 minutes, the owner brought us a huge plate of rib tips, or as he said, "just a little something" for us to try. They were delicious! Smoky and tender, with a spicy barbecue sauce. I was licking my fingers for sure! When our food was ready, the kind owner quoted us a price that was about half what I expected and refused a tip. When we got back to the hotel and dug in, we found that everything was nicely packed with plenty of napkins! The chili dog was 2 hot dogs sliced and flattened then covered with excellent chili, all on a soft hamburger bun. Wow, was it good! I wish I'd ordered a whole bowl of that amazing chili, but with the generous portions I certainly didn't need it. My husband's brisket was tender and juicy, and the sides were also tasty. It was a great meal! We can't wait to go back for ribs!
Very welcoming, great food and great portions! Very respectful and friendly owner! We’re from El Paso Texas but we’ll definitely be back! Genuine nice people.
