4.00Great food. Two different deserts at the end were good but a little much. If rain is in the forecast you might want to cancel and rebook. Valentine’s Day was thunder, lightning and very wet, flooded streets, etc. A tip for the guide: If you have a large group, present somewhere where it is quiet. Four of the five stops were lots of people and loud music. Black’s bbq was not a great choice at 1:30 in Deep Ellum. No tables, hundreds of people, but the Pecan pie was good.
