Once we got to the front, there were big wooden doors awaiting to be opened to go inside.
I walked in and grabbed a menu. The one page menu had a lot of tempting food.
I ordered, got a Big Red (it’s Texas after all), and walked over to the table that had all the good stuff a burger joint would need.
I looked up and saw an old school metal roof.
There was also no wifi to be found.
I basked in the rustic and old honkytonk feel of the bar.
I wasn’t super hungry so I decided to order “just a simple coney dog.” I thought it might be similar to the one I had at McKellar Confectionery in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I quickly found out this wasn’t Canada. This was Texas! I got a ton more food than I expected!
Victoria got a chicken strip basket.
I ended up having to resort to a fork to eat everything.
The coney dog was great and I was completely stuffed! I tried to shovel down as much as I could, but of course I couldn’t finish it all. I let the food settle a bit as I watched a train go by.
After eating, I did a little walk around to the other side of the restaurant. When ordering I told the girl at the counter that I was taking pictures for my blog. Sometimes I get weird looks when I’m doing this so I want to keep people in the loop. She didn’t think it was weird at all and gave me a bunch of recommendations on places to take pictures. That’s definitely good customer service!
One thing that caught my attention was a deer hunting game. This is a staple of any good country bar!
There were also pool tables in a separate room.
We then walked to the outside and I saw a bunch of places to sit. They were facing a stage. I could see this being a great place to catch a live band.
Koppe Bridge is a really cool place to hang out. It has the rustic feel of an old Texas bar. The portions are much bigger than I ever imagined and I was stuffed with this great tasting food!
