Hey Dylan, Contact me if you decide to take on Big Al's for the way you were treated. We overheard the things the guy said to you. We decided not to eat there. You probably didn't notice us, we were a group of seven. Let me know how we can help if needed.
@@dominiccarter5070probably due to him filming but i lowk think the guy got upset bc of racial discrimination. theres no reason to be that upset at a restaurant when a dude js wants to try the food
Hi Dylan. First, I’d like to apologize for how my employee spoke to you at my restaurant. That was totally unacceptable. Even though I wasn’t there at the time, obviously, anything that happens at my business is my responsibility and I take FULL ownership of this unfortunate incident. We value each and every customer that comes through our door and it is very important to me that everyone is treated with love and respect. I have spoken to my employee that you encountered and I will make sure it doesn’t happen to ANYONE ever again. I’m sure the last thing you want to do is to make a return trip to my place but, I’d love for you to come back, check out our place and grab a bite to eat… And if you come on a Sunday, Tuesday or Friday night, I’ll make sure you get to sing your favorite song. Take care. Thank You for visiting Waxahachie, and again, I do apologize. Al Mack
This employee just lost you thousands in business. At the time of this review, over 540 thousand subscribers to the channel, and as well as 151 thousand people and counting who now intend to avoid your establishment.
So your apology is to give the employee (who you should fire honestly) a good ol talkin' to, and if Dylan is reallll lucky, sing his favorite song? that employee needs to be fired and Dylan offered a full menu sampler on the house
Please do more of these videos. This was such a great idea. I love road tripping and I enjoy the bizarre billboards as well! Getting to watch you explore each one is a real treat! Thank you. I admit that I loved that cute to go teacup that you got from the tea house in Waco. I tried looking it up to purchase it….
We don't have billboards like that at all here in Norway, so it's interesting to see how it is over there. I'd get exhausted with all the ads everywhere if I lived there though lol
Big Al has the worst reviews on every platform (Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor and Facebook) of all the places visited in the video. So Big Al is pretty good at losing business on their own.
History update Big Al's has a history and it's not good...Bad vibe bad food ... Gordon Ramsay vibe owner is a Tyrant...my food is great it's the haters who reviews us 😮
I dunno what the deal with Big Al’s is but if the first thing they do is start mentioning attorneys and kicking people out I’m sure as hell not giving them any business. Update: After seeing the comment Dylan posted I still stand by my stance. Update to the update: well I’ll be shocked when I say that I saw BigAl himself commented on the video here, seems like honest apology but that judgement is for others and Dylan himself to make, after all we’re just people commenting on a internet video at the end of the day
Most karaoke bars have Rules against Recording people trying to have fun even though they are terrible at singing. you need permission for most places in Texas.
the attorney convo was so weird and escalated too fast. Like even if his camera was spotted and staff didnt approve due to regulations, there wasnt any reason to get that aggresive. I agree with you lol
@@catyr1004 we Only know the parts That weren't cut out of the video. Most people Would have just removed that entire part unless they wanted drama to be in the video.
Big Als used to be in uptown Dallas back about 15 years or so. I remember the owner being very rude and kicking people out. I left and never came back. It closed shortly after that.
That employee at Big Al’s should be fired. I know he was trying to follow company guidelines but his violent threats were not warranted. In my opinion and from other comments, he made the place look bad for future consumers. In general an employee like that can drag local places like that down for newcomers.
What you mean???? DIDN'T you see all the picture of his fans with Big AL in it, and him posting it all up in frames and such right in front of the door entrance?! Whats soo weird about that?!
@@fpshooterful that's exactly why it's so suspicious.... If the restaurant was owned by some celebrity then why was our dude kicked out so aggressively ? They clearly accept people that come in as fans, idk why too but just assuming it's because of him filming the restaurant might be why they got so defensive ngl 💀... So maybe they tryna hide sumn... Cuz why wouldn't a restaurant wants publicity....
We gotta find out what's going on at that second restaurant. If they're talking to a random customer like that just imagine how they're treating their employees. I would expect a lot of OSHA violations and "less than legal" hiring/firing practices

The first spot seemed like one of those weird local chains. Honestly was a little worried seeing how empty the parking lot was. But good hearing the food was good. Good thing you filled up there as Al wasn't going to lol.
Maybe he did though. We have no idea what led up to that. And you don’t know him. People used to think Mr beast was the nicest most caring loving person ever. lol
good job on the vid, Dylan. My first of yours. Ref "Eagle's Landing" at about 12:20 ... The Eagle on the restaurant door is of the mascot ... patriotic folks, yes, but that is there for the mascot. They do a GREAT job and are conveniently located, too. Though I must say, when I go visit family the stop signs on FM107 still "throw" me ... that is a relatively recent change. So, "be alert." On the East side of "35", traffic on 107 must stop on the OTHER side of the rail road tracks regardless of a train ... e.g. longer to cross the intersection. Class of '87
Stopping at random places "just to investigate" is my dream. One time I took my little sisters on a roadtrip to do some birdwatching. I just set some spots that looked interesting and drove. We got to see a few tiny towns, we discovered a place near a lake that would have been a ferry! There was only a tiny building and a few iron structures. It was not too old. There was a sign saying that the area had been surveyed for a potential ferry, but that the salt in he water would have weathered down the metal too quickly. When we went back to the car a huge chunk of a tree fell off. We saw a beach on the map and drove to it. Turned out that the beach was a few hundred meters in from the road, so we walked there. My sisters got into the water with their clothes on because we didnt bring anything. At some point I drove us into a wall 😅. That has been my only accident driving and we swore to never tell our parents about it. Another time my friend and I went to a lake. Neither of us had been there before and we took some back roads. It was beautiful. When we came back we took the back road again. It took us like an hour longer to get back home. We stopped at a field that had bails and went to run around and play. Another time my bf and I were going to the beach and because we had all the time in the world, we got off the highway looking for some store that the map mentioned being "near by". We drove like twenty minutes wothout finding it, but we came across the smallest village that had lots and lots of potato fields.
Whoa, whoa, whoa now we talking about Attorney's when a man is going to spend $$ on your food that you advertised and not to mention he could have brought more traffic to the restaurant. 😂 What a dope.
That's my guess too, but that was still a very aggressive reaction to a "food critic" filming the restaurant. I get that you should probably ask before filming, but it sounded like they straight up didn't care about any formalities. @@martymcfly1312
@@martymcfly1312that I could understand but with how aggressive the guy was and threatening to get attorneys involved? Seems a little excessive for a video camera no?
It doesn't matter that the jerk who kicked you out wasn't the owner himself. Any place that emoloys someone like that is up to no good. If I were you, I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and say how you were mistreated and also I would tip off the local counties or jurisdiction of food health abd safety and let them know something shady is going on. I completely understand if you just want it in the past and want to move on though. I am very sorry you were treated that way, man. I felt so horrible and tbh I was truly worried for your safety with the way that jerk was talking to you. I really liked the video besides that guy.
yep, imagine if a Asian restaurant treated a black vloggers like that. It would be huge and a protest / riot outside the restaurant forcing them to close.
@@erikkibler3466 blks always makes it about race though. Just imagine the reaction if a Chinese restaurant banned a black vlogger from entering the restaurant.
Super great video Dylan. I really found this to be a unique idea for finding new restaurants to try out. And hearing your cousin say he also knows eagles landing brought it all together. I feel like you’re finding your own voice in your recent videos and I really like what you’re doing. Keep it up brother 🎉
I must say, the 50% code for Sundays is an absolute steal. Never seen a sponsor that generous. Unfortunately I dont have any pets. But that sounds like a great brand.
This doesn't read like an account created by the sponsor's employee trying to boost the sponsor to more ppl lmao who fkn talks like this "wow, I've never seen a sponsor that generous!" SILENCE BRAND
What a great Idea. Sadly, billboards here in the UK mainly consist of known fast food chains and not independent ones. On the plus side, it means I'll never meet a Big Al.
Cheese cave deserves more feet. Some good marketing and it would be a great family reunion, wedding venue and get together kimd of place. Sort of like whatvthe Gaine's do, just with cheese and hand crafts. So quaint!
Tejung spooked me a little because of the seafood aspect but it looked homely on the inside and had a decent crowd, nice busy lunch time atmosphere! Big Al’s absolutely terrified me and (although I had no intention anyway) I will definitely never be going there. You could tell it was more than likely empty from the lack of sound when you entered, it just didn’t sound like there was a social atmosphere at all, and the bar man/waiter/manager was gross and I don’t know if I’d be able to stomach food after being verbally threatened lol Cheese cave was adorable! I loved preserved historic villages and landmarks, we have a few in my country and that’s usually where we’re taken on school outings and field trips when we’re young. Learning, souvenirs plus good munchies? Who could ask for more? Eagle’s Landing looked like such a classic southern comfort food restaurant. The decor is cute, clearly the food was amazing, the staff seemed polite and the wait times for the food weren’t mentioned so I’d assume the kitchen was working smooth! Looked like you had a good meal! ☺️ All in all, if I had the chance, I’d visit all except Al’s lol. I don’t want a side of being terrified with my chicken dippers, thanks.
Everyone has been review bombing the heck out of the Google page for that second restaurant. 😂 Honestly deserved. Idk why that owner basically shot himself in the foot like that. No customer deserves that treatment. I genuinely think Dylan is really honest but super positive in all his restaurant reviews that I'm always like, "ok bro but i better check for myself" so you'd basically only get good promo just by being included. Except this place cos they dun fudged up.
This isn't deserved bro it's childish af for y'all to review bomb something you haven't tried let alone live anywhere near. That restaurant owner has every right to be upset over these actual weirdos review bombing his establishment. This was literally between Dylan and some random employee, it should've ended with a single bad review not tens, hundreds of thousands of them. Touch grass for the love of god
@@Giliver Nope, its about the lack of apology and the fact that other reviews from before this claim the same happened to them. They had this coming for a long time, I will leave at least 3 one star reviews lol.
@@resentfuldragonso all of the innocent waitresses and cooks can suffer because you literal sheep saw 7 seconds of audio with no context of what led up to it? Audio from an employee who isn’t the owner, bt
Someone is reposting your content on TikTok, and I had to track down your original video, luckily they left your Sundays sponsored ad in and got your name from the discount code :D
I always enjoy your content, thanks for sharing! I now know of one restaurant I won't ever attempt to take my family to in Texas, and that is obviously Big Al's (unless the owner contacts you to make amends for the inappropriate way his employee treated you, of course). God bless!
Big Al obviously has some secrets to tell if the first thing he did was mention how his sons an attorney. Bet he doesn’t have one of those billboards. 😂
Big al is a radio host on a big Texas radio station and I’m parents are big fans (of the radio station). My dad has even worked on big Al’s car before and they’ve both been to down that hatch so seeing you get kicked out was a big shock to me lmao. The way he is on the radio is way different than what I saw in the video.
Big Al's should be sued tbh like a camera isn't that bad so i think they got something to hide the cops need to search their restaurant but W advertising. Also is the Hyper channel ever coming back?
Wow, what a terrific video! 🎉 I love your enthusiasm, humor and outgoing personality. I love that you’ve gone through Texas to Austin, which is my hometown Austin, Texas! Definitely gonna try that Tejan, Texas Cajun restaurant. Great video! 🎉
Big Al for sure lost so much business from this which is correct cause wow they didn’t even just kick you out they straight up threatened you so it makes Big Al look like he got some “Big”financial issues or some kind of problems cause it’s kinda suspicious to just immediately assume someone is doing something bad when they come in with a camera, like what do you have to hide sir? And I get he replied back to this video but guys please go check his reviews online cause wow I don’t think Dylan missed out anything even the waiters and waitresses at that place seem off 🙃
I'm in Ohio, and we have a pretty similar place to the heritage village. It's called Soder Village, and they have a glass shop, a blacksmith, a pottery shop, among other stuff. Its all hand-made, and you can watch them work. It's pretty cool!
Is it just me, or did a bunch of you guys leave 1-star reviews on Big Al’s Down The Hatch Google review page?" There is 15 in the last 2 hours all 1 star 😂
@@Ari_Mave123they are probably disputing the ratings with google. There are a few still up on yelp. can get rid of some but can’t get rid of them all it seems.
Boycott Big Al's. There is no excuse for Asian hate. As a member of two minority groups myself, you would think we'd have more compassion for each other.. bad move, Big Al
@SalvadorSonOfZedicus in fairness, it could have been because Dylan had filming equipment but on the other hand. I am sick of giving people the benefit of the doubt when half the time I'm not showing the same courtesy for a variety of reasons people assume I'm unintelligent and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to prove anything to anybody.
He says in another comment that the guy said he had been "warned before" about filming and that they had secruity footage of it and dylan asked to see the footage which is when they brought up lawyers
When you mentioned all of the attorney billboards in Texas, that also stood out to me about traveling in the state. David Komie caught my attention on those billboards, just because I don't know if I'd hire him as a lawyer, but he'd probably be cool to hang out with.😂
Edit! Dude, I just found your content, and you are doing a great job! What was the deal with Big Al's? Keep up the great work! Ok I read down and saw Big Al's response. He should fire the employee. That was uncalled for. You remind me so much of my son I felt like the employee was talking trash to my son, which just made me mad. Thanks for keeping your cool. I loved the Brazzos stop, too.
Yiiiikes on the big al place. Wtf kinda impression is that? why so dang aggressive lmfao, thats a great way to get customers! Just threaten them with attorneys🎉 That was wild, glad youre okay dude!
As someone who went to college north of Austin and made the trip down 35 hundreds of time I’m weirdly so excited about this because I’ve always wanted to know if they were any good
You got lucky finding good food, a very friendly salesperson (Big Al, a clear exception👎), and then more good food simply by following highway billboards. I've never been that lucky. But thanks to this video, I think there's hope🤞.
I’m thinking that might be the case then again the guy was talking about getting attorneys involved, which seems way over the top for someone bringing a camera in.
yoooo dylan posted!! I subed when u made ur first vid and ALSO i remember hypered and immediately reconized ur voice and face in ur first vid 😄 also idk where but I remember poke was saying how u started irl content and that ur vids r great!! :) I love u two and maybe UK todd who knows.
this sausage is what we call a banger, the meat content is so low that they often split or explode if fried in a pan, too much water content and gristle, it's why the English have a dish called bangers and mash it's an old budget meal that is actually very filling but very cheap. I imagine this sausage got deep fried or oven baked
I do have to go to Texas soon. Considering the size of Texas I'll actually be fairly close to Waxahachee. If I decide to go in and he is there I'll ask him about the video. I'm wondering if the auditor that was there a couple of months ago stirred things up downtown (News Now Ninja). Don't look exactly the same but close enough for a boomer to profile you.
You won me over with your picklesburgh video. Love the different format now i think i might be hooked. The best places are hidden behind the advertized ones typically. In my opinion lol allegedly 😊😊

@@SeanStrife How do they expect to get regulars if they don't let new people in lmao
Dylan, as a Texan born and bred, I’m so ashamed you were treated that way. Absolutely no excuse for anyone to be treated like that.
The first spot seemed like one of those weird local chains. Honestly was a little worried seeing how empty the parking lot was. But good hearing the food was good. Good thing you filled up there as Al wasn't going to lol.
You didn’t deserve that at big Al’s. You are literally one of the nicest most genuine people in the world and I deeply enjoy every one of your videos.
Maybe he did though. We have no idea what led up to that. And you don’t know him. People used to think Mr beast was the nicest most caring loving person ever. lol
@ good for you. I hear cynicism is really in these days.
good job on the vid, Dylan. My first of yours.
Ref "Eagle's Landing" at about 12:20 ... The Eagle on the restaurant door is of the mascot ... patriotic folks, yes, but that is there for the mascot.
They do a GREAT job and are conveniently located, too. Though I must say, when I go visit family the stop signs on FM107 still "throw" me ... that is a relatively recent change. So, "be alert." On the East side of "35", traffic on 107 must stop on the OTHER side of the rail road tracks regardless of a train ... e.g. longer to cross the intersection.

Just sat down with my food looking for a video to watch. You never disappoint Dylan☺
Stopping at random places "just to investigate" is my dream.
One time I took my little sisters on a roadtrip to do some birdwatching. I just set some spots that looked interesting and drove. We got to see a few tiny towns, we discovered a place near a lake that would have been a ferry! There was only a tiny building and a few iron structures. It was not too old. There was a sign saying that the area had been surveyed for a potential ferry, but that the salt in he water would have weathered down the metal too quickly. When we went back to the car a huge chunk of a tree fell off. We saw a beach on the map and drove to it. Turned out that the beach was a few hundred meters in from the road, so we walked there. My sisters got into the water with their clothes on because we didnt bring anything. At some point I drove us into a wall 😅. That has been my only accident driving and we swore to never tell our parents about it.
Another time my friend and I went to a lake. Neither of us had been there before and we took some back roads. It was beautiful. When we came back we took the back road again. It took us like an hour longer to get back home. We stopped at a field that had bails and went to run around and play.
Another time my bf and I were going to the beach and because we had all the time in the world, we got off the highway looking for some store that the map mentioned being "near by". We drove like twenty minutes wothout finding it, but we came across the smallest village that had lots and lots of potato fields.
Texas is full of random places like the Cheese Cave. Fortunately, places like Big Al’s are rare.
Whoa, whoa, whoa now we talking about Attorney's when a man is going to spend $$ on your food that you advertised and not to mention he could have brought more traffic to the restaurant. 😂 What a dope.
Big Al was racist
what did you get kicked out for? did they give you any reason?
Came here to ask the same thing
@@baylorhurst3011real
probably because he was filming
That's my guess too, but that was still a very aggressive reaction to a "food critic" filming the restaurant. I get that you should probably ask before filming, but it sounded like they straight up didn't care about any formalities. @@martymcfly1312
@@martymcfly1312that I could understand but with how aggressive the guy was and threatening to get attorneys involved? Seems a little excessive for a video camera no?
It doesn't matter that the jerk who kicked you out wasn't the owner himself. Any place that emoloys someone like that is up to no good. If I were you, I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and say how you were mistreated and also I would tip off the local counties or jurisdiction of food health abd safety and let them know something shady is going on. I completely understand if you just want it in the past and want to move on though. I am very sorry you were treated that way, man. I felt so horrible and tbh I was truly worried for your safety with the way that jerk was talking to you. I really liked the video besides that guy.
yep, imagine if a Asian restaurant treated a black vloggers like that. It would be huge and a protest / riot outside the restaurant forcing them to close.
BBB is useless, kiddo. I reported some company on an industrial level business and they paid to get the review removed.
It was a disagreement.not everything has to be a race war..
@@erikkibler3466 blks always makes it about race though.
Just imagine the reaction if a Chinese restaurant banned a black vlogger from entering the restaurant.
Better Business Bureau has no power in getting places shut down. It's basically just Yelp but for boomers.
Super great video Dylan. I really found this to be a unique idea for finding new restaurants to try out. And hearing your cousin say he also knows eagles landing brought it all together. I feel like you’re finding your own voice in your recent videos and I really like what you’re doing. Keep it up brother 🎉
I must say, the 50% code for Sundays is an absolute steal. Never seen a sponsor that generous. Unfortunately I dont have any pets. But that sounds like a great brand.
This doesn't read like an account created by the sponsor's employee trying to boost the sponsor to more ppl lmao who fkn talks like this "wow, I've never seen a sponsor that generous!" SILENCE BRAND
I love how you filmed this video, the cute little animated billboards were cool!! great rating system very cohesive.
What a great Idea. Sadly, billboards here in the UK mainly consist of known fast food chains and not independent ones. On the plus side, it means I'll never meet a Big Al.
Why did they threat you at the 2nd Restaurant
Right wtf
Probably “no filming” that made them aggressive
@@simonlin387threatening a lawsuit is kinda extreme in most scenarios
@@simonlin387thats wild because other youtubers have videos of them recording inside without getting kicked out
Hes asian
off topic but i love the hand drawn visuals!!
Good job Big Al you played yourself.
Big Al was racist
Dylan seems like a nice and calm guy. I think he doesn’t deserve to be treated badly.
Cheese cave deserves more feet. Some good marketing and it would be a great family reunion, wedding venue and get together kimd of place. Sort of like whatvthe Gaine's do, just with cheese and hand crafts. So quaint!
It is a homestead, but the little known secret (which is known to us locals), is that it’s actually a cult.
@@ashleeboydlee1708 noooo, now you've just GOT TO spill the beans. Give bish, tell me everything!!!!!
Tejung spooked me a little because of the seafood aspect but it looked homely on the inside and had a decent crowd, nice busy lunch time atmosphere!
Big Al’s absolutely terrified me and (although I had no intention anyway) I will definitely never be going there. You could tell it was more than likely empty from the lack of sound when you entered, it just didn’t sound like there was a social atmosphere at all, and the bar man/waiter/manager was gross and I don’t know if I’d be able to stomach food after being verbally threatened lol
Cheese cave was adorable! I loved preserved historic villages and landmarks, we have a few in my country and that’s usually where we’re taken on school outings and field trips when we’re young. Learning, souvenirs plus good munchies? Who could ask for more?
Eagle’s Landing looked like such a classic southern comfort food restaurant. The decor is cute, clearly the food was amazing, the staff seemed polite and the wait times for the food weren’t mentioned so I’d assume the kitchen was working smooth! Looked like you had a good meal! ☺️
All in all, if I had the chance, I’d visit all except Al’s lol. I don’t want a side of being terrified with my chicken dippers, thanks.
Everyone has been review bombing the heck out of the Google page for that second restaurant. 😂 Honestly deserved. Idk why that owner basically shot himself in the foot like that. No customer deserves that treatment. I genuinely think Dylan is really honest but super positive in all his restaurant reviews that I'm always like, "ok bro but i better check for myself" so you'd basically only get good promo just by being included. Except this place cos they dun fudged up.
He says it was not the owner in another comment.
Why do so many people think it was the owner? How many times have you walked into a restaurant and met the owner??
This isn't deserved bro it's childish af for y'all to review bomb something you haven't tried let alone live anywhere near.
That restaurant owner has every right to be upset over these actual weirdos review bombing his establishment.
This was literally between Dylan and some random employee, it should've ended with a single bad review not tens, hundreds of thousands of them.
Touch grass for the love of god
@@Giliver Nope, its about the lack of apology and the fact that other reviews from before this claim the same happened to them.
They had this coming for a long time, I will leave at least 3 one star reviews lol.
@@resentfuldragonso all of the innocent waitresses and cooks can suffer because you literal sheep saw 7 seconds of audio with no context of what led up to it? Audio from an employee who isn’t the owner, bt
Big Al just lost so much business 😂😭💀
Big Al was racist
You won me over with Crafts village and eagles landing.
First video from you I have seen, I'm subscribing🤙🏻 It feels like a travel food show I would watch on TV as a kid
Someone is reposting your content on TikTok, and I had to track down your original video, luckily they left your Sundays sponsored ad in and got your name from the discount code :D
i loved that crafts village, seems so nice tbh especially the teahouse! i love tea!
its a cult apparently
I always enjoy your content, thanks for sharing! I now know of one restaurant I won't ever attempt to take my family to in Texas, and that is obviously Big Al's (unless the owner contacts you to make amends for the inappropriate way his employee treated you, of course). God bless!
Big Al obviously has some secrets to tell if the first thing he did was mention how his sons an attorney. Bet he doesn’t have one of those billboards. 😂
Big Al was racist
5:12 Why would he need lawyers? Seems a bit sus.
Yeah pretty sus that the TH-camr included that 7 seconds of audio from the middle of the conversation with no context given.
Big Al messed up! Me and my fam love Dylan’s videos ! Great work bruhh!
Please make this a series when you travel around the States. It looks so interesting.
Big al is a radio host on a big Texas radio station and I’m parents are big fans (of the radio station). My dad has even worked on big Al’s car before and they’ve both been to down that hatch so seeing you get kicked out was a big shock to me lmao. The way he is on the radio is way different than what I saw in the video.
Big Al wasn't the guy that kicked me out! It was another employee!
@@Dylan ahhh yeah I thought so! I guess it’s just strange that that’s the environment of the restaurant
Mass ppl on tiktok have fake accounts of your channel. You have great content. Nice work
Big Al's should be sued tbh like a camera isn't that bad so i think they got something to hide the cops need to search their restaurant but W advertising. Also is the Hyper channel ever coming back?
0:07 ooh damn dawg that women is Aishwarya rai bachchan, also she was miss worl in 1994!
Oh that's hilarious since that restaurant has an old rich white people vibe. Been there once.
People don’t get that big ALs is a type of place we’re “ business” get done and one little camera might put some people behind bars.
You mean it’s a trap house? Lol
Big Al missed out on some free good publicity 😂 I am def gonna try the cheese cave area for sure! Thanks for the recommendations! ❤
Wow, what a terrific video! 🎉 I love your enthusiasm, humor and outgoing personality. I love that you’ve gone through Texas to Austin, which is my hometown Austin, Texas! Definitely gonna try that Tejan, Texas Cajun restaurant. Great video! 🎉
Bro went from a good roblox TH-camr to this masterpiece of a channel I love this channel
He was a Roblox TH-camr?
5:30 case in point don't go to Big Al's he could have gotten free advertisement of his restaurant.
Just so you know Big Al is a radio personality on the Kidd Kraddick morning show, which is why he has all those photos
This dylan videos are just so peaceful to watch . Just good vibe a dylan going to places eating the thing (dylan got a good man aura)
The cheese cave sounds like something from pjama sam
Big Al Mack ! Is indeed not famous, unless you count being a local radio D.J. and owning a local bar famous XD
Big Al was racist
Oh God. A small business owner that thinks he's funny. .....
Bro Dylan always has like the goofiest but the best video ideas it's always something new with him
bruh the juice that came out of that sausage XD
Big Al for sure lost so much business from this which is correct cause wow they didn’t even just kick you out they straight up threatened you so it makes Big Al look like he got some “Big”financial issues or some kind of problems cause it’s kinda suspicious to just immediately assume someone is doing something bad when they come in with a camera, like what do you have to hide sir? And I get he replied back to this video but guys please go check his reviews online cause wow I don’t think Dylan missed out anything even the waiters and waitresses at that place seem off 🙃
I'm in Ohio, and we have a pretty similar place to the heritage village. It's called Soder Village, and they have a glass shop, a blacksmith, a pottery shop, among other stuff. Its all hand-made, and you can watch them work. It's pretty cool!
Is it just me, or did a bunch of you guys leave 1-star reviews on Big Al’s Down The Hatch Google review page?"
There is 15 in the last 2 hours all 1 star 😂
Damn, don’t doxx him, u need to try before you review everyone!
@@rrsaga hey I didn't do it I just went to look because I was 🧐 curious.
I just checked and they’re all deleted, the newest one is from 2 days ago
@@Ari_Mave123they are probably disputing the ratings with google. There are a few still up on yelp. can get rid of some but can’t get rid of them all it seems.

eating spicy chicken wings while binge watching dylan's videos with the a/c blasted on is my definition of resting. also, love SUNDAYS!
Boycott Big Al's. There is no excuse for Asian hate. As a member of two minority groups myself, you would think we'd have more compassion for each other.. bad move, Big Al
racism?
@SalvadorSonOfZedicus in fairness, it could have been because Dylan had filming equipment but on the other hand. I am sick of giving people the benefit of the doubt when half the time I'm not showing the same courtesy for a variety of reasons people assume I'm unintelligent and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to prove anything to anybody.

He says in another comment that the guy said he had been "warned before" about filming and that they had secruity footage of it and dylan asked to see the footage which is when they brought up lawyers
@@lucastobin6454 wow, that’s terrible
When you mentioned all of the attorney billboards in Texas, that also stood out to me about traveling in the state. David Komie caught my attention on those billboards, just because I don't know if I'd hire him as a lawyer, but he'd probably be cool to hang out with.😂
Wow that was RUDE!. What a big jerk. Anyway other restaurants were better. Cool videos. I'm new here and like your videos 👍
Big Al was racist
Edit! Dude, I just found your content, and you are doing a great job! What was the deal with Big Al's? Keep up the great work! Ok I read down and saw Big Al's response. He should fire the employee. That was uncalled for. You remind me so much of my son I felt like the employee was talking trash to my son, which just made me mad. Thanks for keeping your cool. I loved the Brazzos stop, too.
Yiiiikes on the big al place.
Wtf kinda impression is that? why so dang aggressive lmfao, thats a great way to get customers! Just threaten them with attorneys🎉
That was wild, glad youre okay dude!
Big Al was racist
As someone who went to college north of Austin and made the trip down 35 hundreds of time I’m weirdly so excited about this because I’ve always wanted to know if they were any good
You should do a fan meet up at big Al’s 😂 have everyone bring cameras
Big Al was racist
Had a look on google maps and it seems like there's a good number of other better joints around there. Can do like a pub crawl there.
Dylan, I really like this video. I hope we do more videos like this, not sure if there’s billboards in any other states that advertise restaurants.
You got lucky finding good food, a very friendly salesperson (Big Al, a clear exception👎), and then more good food simply by following highway billboards. I've never been that lucky. But thanks to this video, I think there's hope🤞.
I'm still wondering why you got booted out of Big Al's...filming?
I’m thinking that might be the case then again the guy was talking about getting attorneys involved, which seems way over the top for someone bringing a camera in.
He says that in another comment chain. Some guy got upset with him, said "he'd been warned before" etc etc
ya filming
Big Al was racist
@@TakeninthelightFrom what I’ve seen from other comments this place seems to have a very..Negative attitude to outsiders in general.

2:09 Dylan:Best seller platter
Sign:Best seller plate
That guy at the big al resto should have learned from Hank Hill, politely but firmly ask you to leave.
this sausage is what we call a banger, the meat content is so low that they often split or explode if fried in a pan, too much water content and gristle, it's why the English have a dish called bangers and mash it's an old budget meal that is actually very filling but very cheap. I imagine this sausage got deep fried or oven baked
12:00 You guys have 75 mph speed limits? Here in NC we can’t go above 65 on most interstates. 😭
That's what I'm saying bro Virginia too 😭
The fact that big al has apologized on your channel means you have another video to pursue my friend take advantage of it and will watch 😂👍❤
If i ever go to Texas, Ill make sure to avoid Big AL's fuck that place! I am an ex Chef and no customer should be treated as such!
I do have to go to Texas soon. Considering the size of Texas I'll actually be fairly close to Waxahachee. If I decide to go in and he is there I'll ask him about the video. I'm wondering if the auditor that was there a couple of months ago stirred things up downtown (News Now Ninja). Don't look exactly the same but close enough for a boomer to profile you.
You won me over with your picklesburgh video. Love the different format now i think i might be hooked. The best places are hidden behind the advertized ones typically. In my opinion lol allegedly 😊😊
that homestead village is so cool i wanna visit one day
5:13 why the hell did he get kicked out for?
Wow, this dude is an incredible storyteller. Subscribed.
