    The aftermath
    Mike R.

    Five stars in a rural Texas town? Yep, and here's why: Boondocks has a large menu of seafood and beef. Seafood in the literal Heart of Texas? Absolutely. Farmed and trucked in? Yes. Excellently prepared with great flavor and careful technique? Absolutely. We started with the fried mushrooms - something we don't eat often but a treat done right. The breading was light and crispy, the mushrooms hot but not nuclear, and the flavor with just enough salt and spice. The accompanying ranch dressing was buttermilk ranch and had that deep buttermilk twang. I had the blackened Mahi-Mahi, my partner had the blackened Salmon. They were both perfectly fork tender, juicy and seasoned without being "nothing but spice." The accompanying (Cajun) brown rice paired well. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place was PACKED for lunch - full of locals. This speaks highly to the consistent service, excellent food and variety for everyone. Absolutely worth stopping for a meal when traveling, and worth eating at whether you want home style, fancy or both. The pic? The aftermath. :)

    Catfish Dinner

    This place was really good, with great service and reasonable prices! I had their catfish dinner. It came with huge pieces of fish and great sides. I usually hit Brady about lunch time, and this is my new go-to place. If you're ever in Brady, try them out.

    Well what a surprise. Best catfish I ever had. Free beans to boot! Watch out for the gator.

    Bacon Cheeseburger

    Normally when cruising back and for from Midland to the Hill Country, I stop at a little place in Llano (bet you can guess which one) but I wanted something different today and rolled the dice on this place. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger, which came with fries. The fries are fine, but this burger is a real show-stopper. It's an 8 ounce patty, fresh veggies, cheese, and bacon so think that Sir Mix-A-Lot could write a song about it. They pile that on a scratch made bun toasted till the interior is crunchy while the exterior is fluffy and pillowy. Honestly, this is in my burger top ten. Greatness.

    Thank you Collin's for the great service. Thank you Connor for making the drinks…read more It was a good evening, ambiance was just right. The mussels and clam pot is excellent a must try! Cannot go wrong with the Ahi Tuna, slaw and asparagus.

    We had a very odd experience here. I was part of a group of seven, and after being turned away from…read moreanother restaurant, we decided to try this place. Initially, the hostess told us they couldn't accommodate our party, but then they changed their mind. The interaction felt uncomfortable, as she emphasized their policies for large groups and mentioned that they normally require a minimum of $145 per person. She ultimately allowed us to bypass that requirement as long as everyone ordered an entrée. Our waitress, however, was wonderful and provided excellent service throughout the meal. I ordered the clam and mussel pot, which I found surprisingly bland, though the bread was delicious. The rest of my group seemed to enjoy their meals much more than I did. Unfortunately, there were also some cleanliness concerns. A spider descended from the ceiling onto our table during dinner, and another bug crawled across the table. There was even a bug zapper in the corner of the restaurant that seemed to be going off constantly throughout our meal. For a party of seven, our bill came to around $700. Given the overall experience, the food quality, and the atmosphere, it felt a bit underwhelming for the price.
