Very welcoming and passionate. OMG!! This woman can…read moreCOOOOOOOOOK!! She's very personable and you really just want to give her a hug and chat it up like home girls. The process was super simple. I found her on yelp. She hit me back probably w/in 15-20 minutes. I wanted a nice meal made for my wedding anniversary. Year 11 married for Hubby and I. I knew I wanted steak and potatoes. She came up w/the chimmichurri (which I knew I loved), zuppa tuscana and infused strawberry shortcake. She and her assistant/sous chef came over a little bit early (I was a little late ) and she was just awesome! Very warm, personable and knows what she's doing. They were ein my kitchen working their magic and the smell of mouth watering food filled the house. The soup was done first. Hubby basically melted into the chair after his first bite. Seriously! It was flavorful and light abs presented in a very simple but comfort food way. 10 out of 10! A bit later the steak, loaded potato abs brussel sprouts came out. BOOM!! Looked good as f*ck and tasted out of this world! The steak was seasoned well w/out being salty or over done. There was a slight non spicy zing from the chimichurri. Also need to note the chimmichurri tasted so fresh, and flavorful I wanted to eat just the chimnichurri w/a spoon or slather it on EVERYTHING!! I definitely ate at least have of my brussel sprouts w/this magical, fresh, herby sauce.... because it was that damn good! Eating this had me thinking up schemes... ahem plans to get Layha to stay and cook more... or everything . I can and end very much enjoy cooking... but now I feel like I can't go back to my own cooking (woman womp). Oh well. I already booked Chef Layha for New Year, my birthday and Mother's day before the meal was completed. She also made these cute and small bourbon infused strawberry shortcakes. Real strawberries. Simple delicious, and juicy flavor. NOT SOGGY at all. Not overly sweet. Flippin awesome ! She also made some rotelle nachos for my kiddos when they get out of school later. I'll be tasting that very soon. Probably right after I hit the post button . Either way Chef Layha has some real talent. She made my day as well as my husband's. Her food was impeccable. She cleaned up my kitchen after the meal and there's plenty extra food. We're going to enjoy this food the rest of this weekend. For real!! I'm so looking forward to our next meal(s) from her. I hope others catch on to her talent... but a tiny selfish side of me is hoping I get to keep her to myself. Sorry not sorry

They said they could gladly make it and with the best resource of vegan cheese places use, Daiya cheese. Also got a side of baked fries with it as well since it was closely based on our diet and was additional food for our dinner. After ordering for pick up, I went over there and noticed it was a family ran business and interior was nicely put together. They owner it seemed like was very nice, asked for a military discount wasn't available but was very nice to take the fries off my order. Carrying the 2 orders of pizzas and fries they seemed light. To found out the pizzas were pretty small, individual size, our fault partly not knowing what size it was. The flavor was good but you aren't going to find the resemblance in a regular pizza. The baked fries were defiantly a hit! Fresh, unlike anywhere you'll find. Overall a bit pricey but that is the cost of natural organic food. Pizza was ok but the fries what made this place stand out.

The food was delicious, I had BBQ chicken and beef ribs (I rarely see any restaurant selling beef…read moreribs) because I don't eat pork. The ribs had too much salt for me, but I ate them...yummy! I also had Mac n' cheese and baked beans (with beef in them not pork) they were my absolute favorite! Plus they deliver within 10 miles of their establishment. We will definitely order from them again, and again.

So glad we did. The ribs were fantastic - the seasoning was perfect and the ribs had lots of meat on them. You can't go wrong with corn on the cob slathered with butter. The BBQ chicken was perfect. This place will be on our rotation from now on.

Came here on Sunday Memorial Day weekend for lunch with my parents (my dad recommended this spot!),…read moreand was pleasantly surprised! There was no wait, and we were seated immediately. You have the preference to pick lakeside, so we chose that and were seated outdoors with a view of Belton Lake. Upon getting seated, we orderered the Calamari, the Crab Cakes, the Fried Catfish, Shrimp and Grits, Salmon Salad, and the burger. I also got their Sunrise Tequila cocktail (as they were out of the sunset margarita that I had initially wanted to try). I loved my shrimp and grits! The dish was super tasty, and the grits were cheesy and delicious. The fried catfish was also great, and the calamari appetizer was shared amongst the four of us. I do not think I liked the crab cake as much, but it was still pretty good. My personal preference at least. My boyfriend ordered a soda, and it was nice that they let you get a collectible cup for your soda to go as well! Would come again!

This restaurant has SO MUCH POTENTIAL yet it falls short every time I go. This last time we went…read more(6/20/26) it was for a new reason. It was in the mid 80s and over 50% humidity outside. We were wanting to sit outside for the amazing view. We are led to the table closest to the back door. The misters were on like an indoor sprinkler fire suppression system. I'm talking soaking wet everything. Our table was getting misted and the chairs on the mister side had puddles of water on the seats. This is because the humidity outside was too high for misters to be effective (they cool air via evaporation- it was too humid for this to occur). We asked our waitress (who was great) if we could get the misters turned down or off since they were not making it any cooler and just getting everything soaking wet and she said she didn't want to get in trouble. I said they could be mad at us and just tell the manager the misters are getting everything wet. She gave the impression that she'd asked this several times before and management denied customer requests to turn them off. It was so soaking wet the floor had a "caution wet floor" sign on it, which means management was aware of the state of the situation and did nothing. ? Management, if the misters are resulting in wet surfaces, that means the mist is not evaporating, and the misters are not working. This is a very simple concept. There are other things that could be improved. Once the sun started setting we were getting blinded so we all moved to the other side of the table facing away from the sun (and the lake). This is an easy fix- install some shades! This is a double solution as they can be used to retain warmth in cold weather. Overall the food was really good. The gumbo was weirdly gelatinous and did NOT TASTE LIKE traditional gumbo- I'm from southeast Texas, from a long line of Cajun cooks. It tasted more like gravy and had a gravy texture. Not really edible. The snapper was delicious. The basil cream sauce was a smart choice, but it also was way too thick and had a goopy, non-pourable texture. Seemed like too much cornstarch was added. I ordered a bahama mama and asked for the alcohol on the side because I've felt the drinks are skimped here in the past, and they only gave me 1 shot of rum when the menu says there is a light and a dark rum shot in the drink. Waitress said the drink already had the coconut rum in it- definitely didn't taste like it. Plus, I've asked for this before and they did bring out 2 shots, so I think I just got skimped which is per usual. There was also a 6-ish y/o little boy who spent about 20-30 mins running and stomping up and down the deck right alongside our table. He was enjoying himself stomping in the mister puddles. Not his fault that he wasn't being supervised or contained; his parents were somewhere way far away out of eye and earshot. I saw waitresses notice, but no one made the effort to get this child's parents to corral him back to their table. We love kids so this wasn't as big of a deal as it could have been. So much potential, so many oversights. I believe in this place and I know they can improve!

They recently placed as the #1 BBQ spot in Texas for 2026, so of course I had to swing by. We came around 1 or 2 pm on a Saturday, and there was barely any wait to order our food. I got the beef rib, the brisket, the poblano jack sausage, potato salad, and the mac and cheese. By far, the beef rib was PHENOMENAL! Juicy, melty fatty, and easily able to tear off pieces with just a plastic fork alone. This was perfection. The brisket, I wish that I had specified that we wanted moist fatty, as I think that we were just given the leaner cut of the meat, but regardless still good! Poblano jack sausage was cheesy and tasty as well! After you order your meat, you order your sides, and I really liked the potato salad and mac. Both were great! Onions, pickles, and bread were all complimentary, and you could get as much as you wanted. I also greatly preferred the spicy bbq sauce than their normal. The interior of the restaruant is homey and country-style. Also loved their selection of sweet teas and sodas! Glad that this place is so close to home!

We had 13 people total that stayed the night at the Manor the night before the wedding day and we had a blast!

The land is beautiful and very well kept so I highly recommend you take advantage of it if you prefer outdoor wedding activities. We had our ceremony outside by the lake and our reception was in the barn, we even had our cocktail hour outside as well just because it was so beautiful! The staff was so helpful in making sure we had everything we needed, and was very responsive with all of our questions. They even lit the fire pits at the end of the wedding night for us, which we were not expecting, and so my husband and I sat outside by the fire when the reception was over and soaked it all in before leaving for our honeymoon! Felt like a movie. 10/10.
