Homemade coleslaw, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. I never leave reviews on places but I had to give them their props because along with how awesome the food was their service matches the quality of food they put out. Mostly fried menu but all fried food on their menu comes with the option for grilled. If you're in bastrop looking for some really good quality food for a good price Paw Paws is where to go hands down. Thanks to the whole staff for the wonderful food and time we had.

I genuinely cannot believe I've never written a review for Paw-Paw's Catfish House because we have…read morebeen coming here for YEARS and I love this place so much. There are restaurants you try once because they're trendy... and then there are places like Paw-Paw's -- the kind that become part of your family's story over time. From the fried deviled eggs, to the seafood platters, to the chicken tenders, to the genuinely wonderful staff, there just isn't a better spot for this kind of old-school comfort food experience. And the staff? Always SO friendly and welcoming. Every single time we come in, it feels less like "customer service" and more like old friends excited you finally stopped by so they can catch up with you awhile. That kind of warmth cannot be faked, and it makes such a difference. Now let's discuss these fried deviled eggs. Because respectfully... who allowed them to be this good? You think deviled eggs have reached their final form and then Paw-Paw's comes in like, "Hold my beer." Crispy, crunchy, creamy, flavorful perfection. We start most meals with them because not ordering them would simply be poor decision making at this point. I usually get the chicken tender basket and LISTEN -- these aren't sad little freezer tenders pretending to be a meal. These tenders are literally as big as my hand. Juicy, tender, flavorful, cooked perfectly every time. My adult kids are obsessed with the seafood platter: three pieces of fried catfish and three jumbo fried shrimp with fries, pinto beans, slaw, hushpuppies, and homemade tartar or cocktail sauce. And when I say the catfish tastes CLEAN, my fellow seafood people will understand exactly what I mean. No muddy taste, no weirdness -- just fresh, crispy, perfectly fried fish done right. And the portions? Paw-Paw did NOT come to play. Nobody is leaving hungry unless that was a personal choice. What I love most, though, is the feeling of the place. The small-town care. The heart that clearly goes into the food. The old-school comfort vibe that feels increasingly rare these days. Places like this matter. And Paw-Paw's is absolutely one of them.

Go with the non-seafood for sure. Part Two: Other Yelp reviews rave about the fish. My co-eater raved about her chicken enchiladas. My oysters were pretty good. My shrimp were mushy because I had a marinated dish. I think the villain in the proceedings was the octopus. The octopus was genuinely mediocre. Like not wanting to finish my plate mediocre. I think if you avoid the octopus everything else they have is probably pretty good. The one land mine on the menu is one HELLUVA land mine. But all signs are that with one huge exception this place is okay.

I've heard nothing but wonderful things about the Storehouse Marker & Eatery. The food is farm to…read moretable and sourced locally here. Honestly you can taste the quality of the food by the taste! First time here and it will surely will not be my last. This place is now added fi my list of favorite places to eat at! The service is impeccable and the ambiance is really nice. Such a special dinner or a treat yourself to a fine quality meal! What I ordered: * the stuffed quail with curry sauce- 5/5 the best quail I've ever had ans the curry sauce stood up to any Thai restaurant curry! So freaking good! I was sad to hear this dish is being rotated off since they usually change their menu base on season. There will be another quail dish in place of this one but it will be different. Now I just gotta remember to come in September for this dish if it makes its way back on the menu. * fried okra- 5/5 like wow! It's light airy and everything to enjoy with the okra that you could possible have! The batter is seasoned and it paired so well with the sauce. I could eat a bucket of these! Highly recommend this ! * risotto- 5/5 my friend got this dish and she's vegetarian. She enjoyed it! * duck confit - 4/5 it good but not something I will repeatedly order! I love the pickled sides to eat with it. In my personal opinion I felt like it was missing something. The duck was moist. * Foccacia bread 5/5 a must order and do not skip! I bake sourdough Foccacia but mine is nothing compare to this one! Good lord how is this bread so freaking good! It's buttery and some how cheesey but it's Foccacia! Seriously the best Foccacia I've ever had in my life. Do I recommend this place? Hop in your vehicle and hurry up and head to this restaurant! The food is phenomenal and it's a little gem! It got Austin vibes and is such a great place to eat at! I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu! Highly recommended!

I've been to Store House twice now and I can confidently say this is one of the better places I've…read moreeaten in Bastrop. My first visit was a couple weeks ago for dinner with my sister. I loved the whole experience. It's such a cute space and has that elevated feel without feeling overly fancy or uncomfortable. We started with the grilled focaccia and Watermelon on Fire, and both were excellent. The watermelon was one of those dishes that sounds a little questionable on paper but completely works once you taste it. Sweet, savory, a little spicy and really fresh. We also had the Texas quail, which was beautifully cooked and full of flavor. I had the blackberry bourbon cocktail and loved that too. What really stood out during dinner though was how personable the service was. We never felt rushed and our server actually engaged with us, which made an already good dinner feel even better. I went back this past Saturday for brunch with my sister, her husband and my fiancé. It was definitely a livelier experience with more people around, but still a really nice atmosphere for a Saturday brunch. The service was good and everything came out as expected, although it didn't have quite the same personal touch that I experienced during my first visit. Between the four of us we got to try quite a bit. The shrimp and grits were rich, buttery and seasoned really well. The smoky pork tostada was packed with flavor and the potatoes on the side were honestly some of my favorite bites on the table. The French toast and fried chicken was as good as it looked, with crispy chicken, fruit and just enough sweetness. The only thing I wasn't completely sold on was the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was brown, which threw me off because that's not what I normally expect from sausage gravy, and the biscuits were a little too dense for my preference. The flavor wasn't bad at all, it just wouldn't be my first choice the next time I go. Other than that, Store House has been a hit for me on both visits. The food feels thoughtful without trying too hard, the plates are beautiful, and the restaurant works just as well for a dinner with your sister as it does for brunch with a group. I'll definitely be back.

I was sat towards the back of the restaurant near the noisy kitchen and the restrooms. I ordered tofu spring rolls and stir fry dish. The spring rolls arrived at the same time as the main meal even though it was considered an appetizer. The stir fry was incredibly bland and the vegetables paired with it were wet from being washed making the dish itself soggy at the bottom. The portion size was there, but the flavor of the spring rolls too were bland. I asked for vegan hoisin sauce and was told that it doesn't exist. I told them that it wasn't true because right now in my refrigerator I have vegan hoisin sauce. I was then told again that they only had regular hoisin sauce. The spring rolls were thick and double wrapped creating more rice paper around the tofu making it very chewy to eat. In order to get to the contents inside, I had to take it apart. The peanut sauce was disgusting! I have no idea what they put in it, but the sauce was a very light brown in color, too loose, and tasted awful. I got my food to go only to toss it out. I won't be back.

Located just about a mile before Bu-cees in Bastrop, you'll find this right off of Rt 21 near the Ally Medical Emergency stop. Stopping here on my way back from AUS on a Sunday in early September, it was about 830AM, just in time for breakfast. So breakfast tacos were the order with a chorizo & egg plus a sausage & egg. After about 4-5 minutes, my order was finished. Digging in, the flavors are straight up fresh and tasty with the warm tortillas fresh off the grill and the eggs mixed in nicely with the other proteins. The tacos are quite large so two were enough for me. Price-wise, they are very affordable and they take credit cards too. Do not miss this when you're on 21; definitely one of the best-kept secrets in Bastrop and I look forward to returning for more when I venture out to AUS... or coming back from there!
