The muse for Irene’s, a classic American bar and restaurant, is the grandmother of one of our partners, who describes the real-life Southern charmer as a “drinking, smoking, gambling woman with an immense heart and a keen understanding of true hospitality.” Irene’s has the soul of an unpretentious dive bar but manages to keep a firm hand on service, a keen eye to hospitality and a pulse on style.

Stroll up to the cafe window for a thick slice of sweet or savory toast or breakfast sandwich along with a cup of coffee (or even a pack of smokes, if you are so inclined). Then, meander back to the spacious patio nestled beneath massive pecan trees on the banks of Shoal Creek. When midday hits, park your bike in front of the shop at the custom metal bike stand, and come inside for a selection of seasonal salads and classics such as our pulled chicken & avocado sandwich or dirty shells & cheese. For heartier fare at night, consider a steak sandwich or classic like our Wagyu burger from Ranger Cattle. Irene's housemade old-school desserts, including strawberry cake and Nutella-stuffed cookies, hit the spot any time of day.

At the end of the day, Banger's is all about being a wonderful place to eat, drink and hangout. Not too rowdy, not too laid back, just a good old fashioned good time.

Bangers understands that the best way isn't always the fastest or easiest way, and we're ok with that. Bangers believes that quality food, made from scratch, can still be sold at an honest price.  

Bangers has a commitment to excellence and deeply believe in the principle of hospitality.
