If you have read my reviews, you will know 5 stars are reserved for the very best. Passing through town when my wife chose this place for lunch and wow, just wow. Staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Establishment was clean, with an inviting atmosphere and well planned out. The food was perfect. We had a smash burger, seasonal Greek salad, kids grilled cheese, and kids Mac and cheese. All of which were loved. My wife, a restaurant owner, can be quite critical of food, service, and drinks and said the food was amazing, and the mimosa was the best shes ever had. Chef Kat and our server Shanna left no detail untouched. We will be driving back from Austin just to go here. Highly recommend it. Great job!

Wow! Just wow! Our server, Shanna, was so sweet, attentive and fun. Chef Kat visited several times to check. We had yummy boudin balls for app. The best Mimosa I've ever had at a restaurant. Kids loved their mac n cheese and grilled cheese. I had the seasonal Greek. Hubby had the smash burger. Every single thing was top notch! Gem of a restaurant with small town beauty. Can't wait to come back.

We came here on Black Friday evening after 12.5 miles of hiking in the area, and we saw that the establishment had a great Google Maps rating. We were not disappointed. We had the Boudin balls for an appetizer and the Cobb salad and Da Bomb salad for entrees. Both were excellent. We will definitely come back next time we’re in the area.

The Boudin balls were great! The filet was delicious. The redfish ponchatrain was a little over cooked as were the shrimp that accompanied it. Delicious jalapeno chowder soup. The service was fantastic and atmosphere was wonderful. Nice patio area also.

Service was warm and personal, management was attentive and food exceeded expectations. That's a good start for a good night out.Add live music and awesome bartender Bernice and you're glad you came.Almost surprising to find this kind of place in Llano but happy we did!

We stopped to eat on our way to Enchanted Rock. Everything was delicious! Our group had smashburgers, steak, shrimp, fish tacos and sandwiches. So great! Our waitress, Jessica was wonderful. If you are near Llano - stop by and enjoy their scrumptious food.

We loved this place so much! They were all so sweet. We happened to have our dog with us that night after hiking all day at Enchanted Rock, and we’re planning on leaving them in the car with it running. But they absolutely would not stand for it because they love to see dogs so much. So many people came by just to say hi to my dog, she even got a pup cup! They’re not just dog, friendly, their dog obsessed. Everybody was so insanely sweet here. I cannot emphasize that enough. We never had to wait for absolutely anything. They had live music, which was amazing. The ambience was perfection. The food was astounding. And just everything was top-tier. We will absolutely come back to support this gem of a restaurant. The appetizers were so freaking good. Steak was AMAZING! The drinks were fantastic! I was so surprised at how good all of the food was. Literally, nobody got anything that was anything less than mouthwatering. The staff are all so sweet and friendly and interact, amazingly with one another, and you can tell everybody just enjoys being there and their job. Outside was beautiful!! You could tell everything was intentional and about making their guests and staff comfortable.
