***disclaimer*** Yes, I ate in Elgin and it wasn't BBQ. A 1st in over 30yrs. A risky move, but with absolutely NO regrets! This beautiful little hidden gym is tucked away behind a shell gas station. BLUF: Great pizza, great atmosphere, good beer selection. Dog and VET friendly. The plethora of selections was daunting. I bellied up to the counter and was so NOT prepared given that people were behind me and salivating waiting to take me out with a pizza pan had I not ordered any faster. I hastily ordered 1/2 and 1/2 ... I asked for their "meat lovers" and shared the pan with a proteinless (I'll get kicked out of Elgin if said to loud) Goat Cheese, garlic, and Sirachi Roasted Brussel sprouts on marinara. I also ordered their Buffalo Wings. My unruly Dog was acting a fool unexpectedly and uncharacteristically... I think he senses the urgency, but they had a jar of pet treats right at the counter! I promptly ordered a Hazy IPA and made my way to my table drooling at each pizza I passed on the way. Pizza was out fast! The meat lovers consisted of pepperoni, Sausage, Canadian Bacon, and bacon. ...I should have made a video because the bacon CRUNCHED when I bit into the slice! It was delicious. Dough report ..so/so. It didn't have the bite of a hand tossed pizza. It was more like a thin version of Via 313, but not that good. It was basically bread and not glutenized hand worked pizza dough. None-the-less, it was good. If only there was some protein that matched up with the goat cheese and Brussel sprouts! That would have put it over the top. That veggie half of the pizza was so good! Generous toppings and so much flavor. Service was super friendly, and attentive, willing to let you sample any beer on tap you want. The wings were deceiving. They looked like they would be soggy, but they were crisp. If you like your wings drowning in sauce, you better ask for it. They looked naked but there was enough sauce to qualify them as buffalo. I loved that they were not over cooked and were big juicy mouth watering pieces of wings that you might have thought came from a turkey based on their size. I'll be back and will have more pics coming soon! Definitely a good option in Elgin if you are searching for something other than BBQ (sacrilege).

Aviator Pepperoni BOGO 20" pizza.

Got a Bogo, which means two for one pepperoni pizza 20 inch delicious. Moved out here recently and have had it a few times in Elgin and a few times in Austin aviator Pizza location very good pizza thank you.

Rosemary tomato mozzarella breadsticks

Had a great time at Aviator Pizza! After a long day of moving we decided to stop in here to get some early dinner. Overall we had a very nice time and the food was delicious. We ordered the lazy goat pizza and the rosemary, tomato and mozzarella focaccia bread sticks. Both were piping hot and delicious. We loved the breadsticks in particular. We also got two draught beers that were both great. The service was excellent the cashier, didn't catch his name unfortunately, came over to make sure we were enjoying our meal and did a great job keeping the restaurant clean. He was also super nice. The inside of this place is very cute! They have nice bathrooms and I like the log cabin vibe they're going for. We had an excellent time and will for sure be back!

Searched open restaurants on a Monday night in Bastrop County and happened upon this gem. Appears like a corporation but actually has the small town family feel. Pizza was delicious, ranch was on par and portions were perfect. I think we found our new pizza place in area.

Meatball and potato salad
Eric M.

Only thing to say is WOW! Been eating Aviator for a while now. First time at the OG Elgin store and their food slaps so good! Had the Chicken Alfredo, BBQ Wings and Meatball grinder! Alfredo is like nothing I've had before and I'm in love! Crispy wings and grinder were on point too! Hats off to Thomas and his amazing staff! I hope Yelp doesn't remove my review again! Sad they do this! No touching!!!!

Cheese Pizza
Milannie C.

While on a trip to Elgin, decided to give Aviator Pizza a try. Best thing about the whole experience was that it wasn't busy despite being Saturday around dinner time. We ordered an 18' inch cheese pizza, Caesar salad and baked hot and spicy wings. The pizza was better than expected and I loved the crust. The texture on the wings was weird and unappealing, but they tasted great. The salad was not tossed and I am not a fan of tomatoes on a Caesar salad, but the dressing was decent. We were starving, so I didn't remember to take pictures of the wings and pizza until we had already started eating. But better late than never. My kids liked it a lot, so we'll be checking out the Mueller location soon.

The inside of the brewing company has tables and often does live music or you can hang out at the bar in the air-conditioning but the majority of people at barrows are outside because Burrows also has a phenomenal massive concrete pad that has covered picnic tables and this is where the food trucks park. This is also where they do their live music on the weekends. From behind barrows, you can walk down to the creek, and this is where they have the ice cold natural spring that comes out of the ground. You are welcome to bring their beers down here and sit in the water or sit by the water and hang out and enjoy the creek. Depending on the day, there can be anything happening here from a farmers market to vendors to food trucks to music to dancing anything you can think of so definitely check out their Facebook page for the activities. Absolutely family friendly and there's usually tons of kids having a blast down here with their parents. We like the beer a lot and the staff is friendly and we end up here more than once every single time that we're in Salado, so don't skip it!

YEGUA CREEK BREWERY -- McDADE, TEXAS…read more Sometimes I plan surprises for Doug. And sometimes I absolutely NAIL IT. For Father's Day, I surprised him with a trip to Yegua Creek Brewery here in McDade. What he DIDN'T know was that they were offering a Father's Day steak dinner special... Fresh-grilled steak. AND a beer of your choice. AWWEEEE SHITTTT. Happy Father's Day, Dougie Fresh. And when I say fresh-grilled, I mean you could literally WATCH your steak being cooked. They had a young man and his helper outside working the grill, cooking those steaks right in front of everyone. There's something about standing there with a cold beer while somebody is grilling your steak that just feels right. And the food? TOP NOTCH. Steak was fantastic, beer choices were plentiful, service was great, and the prices were very reasonable. But Yegua Creek is more than just somewhere to grab a beer and some food. The whole PLACE is an experience. There's plenty of seating, room to wander around, things to look at, live music at different times, nightly specials and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. It's also very family-friendly. And DOG-friendly. There were dogs hanging out all over the place, which obviously earns bonus points in our world. Grab some food. Grab a beer. Listen to some music. Walk around. Pet somebody's dog. Stay awhile. That's our kind of place. There's also a winery at the same location. We didn't try any of the wine products on this visit, so I'm not reviewing something we didn't experience. We're professionals over here, people. Well... "Professionals" may be stretching things. We're wearing pants and keeping score. That's close enough. Would we return to Yegua Creek Brewery? ABSOLUTELY. Good food Great beer selection Reasonable prices Great service Live music Family-friendly Dogs Relaxed Texas atmosphere And now... TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 4 out of 5 Real Pants Would we leave the campground and put on real pants to come back? HECK YES. Four pants proudly awarded. Cold beer, grilled steak, live music and dogs wandering around? That's worth getting dressed for.

What a hidden gem! Yegua Creek is way off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the drive. The…read moreatmosphere is friendly, slow-paced, and incredibly relaxing, the kind of place where you can settle in and stay awhile. The charcuterie board was a standout it is diverse, unexpected, and definitely not your typical meat-and-cheese board. The burger was packed with flavor, and the beer selection was solid with enough variety that everyone can find something they enjoy. Good food, cold beer, friendly people, and Texas countryside...sometimes getting a little lost is worth it.

This was a really good brewery stop while we were touring breweries and taking in the food scene…read moreand the sights on a recent vacation to Austin. In fact quite a few breweries I guess go about their beer recipes differently than the PNW or the mountain states. Some people say it's the mountain water that adds to and is critical to a well made craft beer. So being in a different region and state that isn't in these areas I kind of was at times just a bit underwhelmed with some of the breweries we went to. They weren't necessarily bad but it wasn't what I was accustomed to I suppose. But there were a few breweries that were highly impressive and Southern Heights Brewery was one if them. Steve got a really good dark beer but I got an IPA that was really amazing. It was the Evergreen Terrace IPA. This was so good and very highly refreshing. Some IPA'S taste wise kind if blur together as far how memorable the drinking experience winds up being but this one was quite impressive and the rollout of the flavor profile was just great. Flavor highlights with this beer are piney, fruity, hoppy and a very appropriate amount of bitterness. It's also light bodied so the feel of this beer isn't likely to feel like a weight in your stomach which you definitely don't want if you come across a hot Texas day.

Southern Heights might win the prize for most stylish taproom in Austin, as it's made up of 3…read moreretrofitted shipping containers inside a warehouse. The owners are just a couple of cool dudes who make beer and want you to drink it.
