    This place never disappoints. The food was amazing. The chicken fried chicken is the best I've ever had. Our waitress was super sweet and knowledgeable. The rustic, shabby chic decor is inviting and relaxing.

    Very interesting place with history from 1880. Different levels of seating. Very friendly staff and fast service. The server told about the history of the restaurant as a first time there. We ordered their famous onion rings which is why we stopped there. Yes, delicious and the small order is huge. We ordered the ice tea when we noticed the majority of the customers drinking it and it was good. Very good server and service.

    Grilled fish tacos with seasoned rice, no pinto beans - Yum!

    Still a family favorite. Can't go wrong with the onion rings. I'm still very much partial to grilled or blackened catfish but the fish tacos come a very close second now. The burgers are still good. We've tried just about every item on the menu and they are all good. Service is consistently good. The military discount is still very much appreciated. Can't complain.

    Food was absolutely amazing. Came out fast and fresh. Don't start with the fries or you'll have to finish them first lol two people can definitely share a platter of two or more definitely will be back. We had the fried catfish and the fried shrimp

    Love this place!! Service was wonderful. Food was delicious. I had a grilled chicken salad! The rest of my party had fish and chips. And the mountain of onion rings as a starter! Probably the best onion rings I've ever had. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. Very casualdefinitely will go back‼

    Much improved meal than last time, I skipped the fish n chips and went with ole faithful catfish plate. Small has 4 pieces of fish, medium 6 . Plenty for anyone. Comes with coleslaw, beans and fries. Very good and filling. Got the house margarita, packs a punch at least for occasional margarita drinkers. I don't know how long ago jalapeños stopped being complimentary.. I'm pretty sure there wasno charge in the past , now $1 in a 3 oz cup , good to share. It was my husband's birthday but like I said last review , no free birthday desserts. Otherwise very good meal

    Had the large catfish platter. Excellent choice! Very well done on the preparation of the catfish. Comes with fries, hush puppies, pinto beans and slaw. Impressed with the service as well. Very professional and kind. The restaurant is a classic style fish house.

    This is one of our staples on our visits but yet I've never reviewed. A local establishment with lots of fun decor. Very kitschy. Service is always impeccable, no matter how busy they get. And trust me, they get packed! Known for many items, one of my faves would be their onion rings. Lightly battered and they aren't heavy. The breading is seasoned to perfection. I love the grilled chicken salad, the marinade has such refreshing flavor; very Southwest.

    Great service. Food was good and hot! We had catfish, chicken fried steak, and a steak! Yum.

    Good food, great service, farmhouse vibes. Coleslaw a little too sweet, with a slash of lemon, makes it a little better. Definitely would eat here again.

Plenty of seating options from stools to Adirondack chairs, as well as fire pits for those chilly nights. They don't actually serve food, but there is a food truck outside the entrance. I don't know if it changes, but this truck offered tacos and quesadillas that night. We didn't have any. Drinks are just OK. Beer selection is poor if you're a picky beer drinker. The margaritas are from a machine and a little on the weak side. Since I was the DD, I ordered a soda and it was awful. A lot of bars go cheap and serve off-brand sodas because people will mix them with alcohol and not notice that they aren't the "real deal." I couldn't drink it. It was so bad, I shuddered after every sip - and then I gave up. I ordered a water, and that was just as terrible! I don't know if it's the dispenser gun that carries over the flavors of everything else that comes out of it, or the ice is funky, or what, but I couldn't drink that either. I wish they'd have bottled water or something. Canned soda? Something that will make it enjoyable for everyone, not just the alcohol consumers? Being an occasional DD, there has to be something for me to enjoy, too, since I'm the one who decides how long we'll stay and when we'll leave if it's not good. Service was walk-up to the bar. Still, I give it 4 stars just because the overall vibe is really cool and the band we love was playing that night.

You go way to the back and down a steep flight of stairs. My son, his wife, and I left my wife and grandbaby in the saloon and headed down. When you get down there, you are suddenly in a beautiful Tiki bar with so many amazing things to gawk at. It sort of felt like waking up in OZ. We were the first people there, so we got to sit at the bar and watch our drinks being made. They have about 15 or so different specialty tiki drinks. Each one comes in a particular piece of glassware. I don't know how the bartender keeps them straight. He was constantly pouring different things into a shaker. Then he would shake it and pour it into the glass that was already filled with crushed ice. One of the drinks even had a smoking cinnamon stick. My drink was really good. It was the Three Dots and a Dash. It came in a barrel and was decorated with a skull toothpick that had three cherries and a piece of pineapple to represent the dots and dash. It was super strong! I was ready to risk it all and go for another drink, but it had gotten packed inside the bar. We could tell the bartender was stressing. They really need two for times like that. My wife spends the night at my son's house in New Braunfels every Thursday to give them a date night. Evidently, this is where they always go. I can certainly see why!

It has a classy, tasteful speakeasy vibe without feeling overdone or pretentious. They also have a private room that would be great for a special group gathering or a more intimate celebration.

We went on a Monday night, so it's hard to say what the normal energy is like on a busier evening, but the overall atmosphere was still very pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis. We were hoping for something a little more unique or original, maybe a twist on a Sidecar or an elevated take on a classic Old Fashioned. That said, it's still a beautiful spot with great ambience, pleasant service, and a very nice overall feel. I would definitely go back, especially on a busier night to see the full vibe.

    If there were such a thing as a Michelin star experience for service and atmosphere, Austin Eaheart…read moreat Cowboys and Cadillacs Bar and Lounge in New Braunfels would be leading the charge. From the moment we were seated, Austin set the tone for the entire evening. Attentive, personable, funny, and effortlessly charming, he has a rare gift for connection. He keeps conversation flowing in the most natural way, making you feel like you've known him your whole life. What's even more impressive is how he balances this across all his tables, giving each guest the same level of attention and care. He reads the room perfectly, knowing when to engage, when to step back, and how to create a lighthearted, welcoming experience that feels completely personalized. Now, hold on to your cowboy hat and loosen that belt because the food absolutely delivers. The featured 34 oz Tomahawk steak dinner is nothing short of extraordinary. Packed with flavor and cooked to perfection, it will have you rethinking every steak you've ever had before. It is bold, rich, and unforgettable. The Cream Corn Crème Brûlée side dish is truly one of a kind. It perfectly blends the creamy, comforting texture of corn with that signature caramelized, crackable topping you expect from a classic crème brûlée. It was so incredible we ordered a second helping without hesitation. And then there's the Gilded Butter Cake. Honestly, it could easily be called something even more indulgent because it is that good. Sinfully delicious and completely irresistible, it somehow finds a way to make you forget how full you are. No matter how much you've eaten, you will make room for this dessert. It is in a league of its own. Hats off to the chef for an outstanding culinary experience. But as we all know, service can make or break a night, and Austin Eaheart absolutely elevates it. He was made to do this. His ability to connect, engage, and create an unforgettable experience sets him apart in every way. The only note I would add is about the initial arrival. When we first got there, we were asked to pay a cover charge for entry due to the rooftop bar and live music. Once we explained we were there for dinner, the charge was waived, but it did take away slightly from the elevated dining experience. When you're planning to spend a couple hundred dollars on a nice meal, being asked for a ten dollar per person cover at the door can feel a bit off-putting. That said, I am so glad we did not let that first impression turn us away. After taking our time and fully enjoying dinner, we eventually made our way upstairs later in the evening and were glad we checked it out. Dinner, service (Austin E.), and overall atmosphere completely made us forget about that initial moment. It would just be nice if there were a more seamless way to separate the dining entrance from the rooftop bar so guests coming in for dinner are not immediately met with a cover charge request. Overall, this was an incredible experience. Do yourself a favor and go. Ask for Austin E (they have a few Austin's but only one Austin Eaheart). You will leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
