Where is Hat Creek? I've never heard of it! I am making dinner plans with a friend for tomorrow night and might want try it out

I can't believe you were able to even walk through the doors! I live just a few minutes from the South Lamar location and it's been KILLING me not to go. The Longhorn Steakhouse they just opened off Brodie was my best experience when on Phase 1. They were SO helpful and they steamed everything for me. They didn't complain and they didn't mess it up (like Outback did).

I think there are 2 Hat Creeks. I know for sure there is one at Burnet/North Loop. You can't miss it b/c it used to be the Arbys and I think they wanted to recycle the sign haha.
There's also one at 360 and Bee Caves where the nursery with all the flamingos used to be. It's supposed to be nice!
Pluckers was a challenge, but fortunately there were a lot of people there so I just socialized (they also brought cake which was another challenge).
I'm up at 183/Mopac and I think they opened a Longhorn in RR too. Sounds like we will have to go there!
