Billy Bob's Texas bills itself as the World's Largest Honky Tonk and I was just dying to check it out (cowboy boots and all), but I was pretty sure they wouldn't allow kids. Here's another great example of it never hurts to ask. I called up before heading over and was told the whole family was welcome and that there were tons of family friendly activities.

We settled into our big leather seats with a great view of the wood fire grill. They have amazing BBQ steaks and … [Read more...]
