The food was absolutely excellent--fresh, flavorful, well-prepared, and made with quality ingredients. You could tell a lot of care went into every plate, from the presentation to the taste. The portions were great, and everything we ordered came out hot and delicious. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, especially considering how busy a first opening day can be. The new location has such a great atmosphere, and we truly enjoyed the entire experience. Congratulations to the Water Well Café team on a wonderful opening--we will definitely be back!

This is quintessential old school central Texas BBQ. Not the craft bbq you'd get in Austin. I think it's significantly better than the notable staples in Lockhart. This place reminds me of Snow's (which I adore). Scale 1 = no way / 5 = stellar Turkey - 4 Ribs - 4 Chicken - 4 Brisket - 5 Sausage - 5 Sides: Cheesy potatoes - 3 Mac n cheese - 3 Green beans - 4 Pea Salad - 4 Potato salad - 5 Wednesday (at least Ash Wednesday they did) an Friday's they serve fired catfish with hush puppies. For all the flavor and seasoning the other meats had, they forgot it in the breading of the fish. This needs to be doctored up. This receives a 2! I believe 3 meats and two sides are $20. This is unheard of with the way prices have risen for bbq. This place is legit and I understand how it on the radar for Texas Monthly best bbq.

The restaurant is cafeteria-style, with everything priced at $8.99 per pound, which we didn't expect but ended up working great for our family since everyone could choose exactly what they wanted. The food tasted homemade, and the salad bar was especially impressive with lots of fresh options. The chicken tenders were a big hit with the kids, and we couldn't resist trying the cherry cobbler for dessert, which was delicious. If you're passing through Shiner and looking for a casual, satisfying meal, this is a great stop.

In the shadow of the city's eponymous brewery (really Spoetzl Brewery but most wouldn't know to…read morewhich I refer), sits a small diner that offers stick-to-your-ribs comfort food that is sure to quell the hunger of a hardworking brewer on their well earned lunch break. In a style that you don't see as often as their once was, they offer home cooking by the pound. Today there was catfish, chicken tenders, hamburger steak 3 ways, turkey, and lasagna, and probably a few I missed. Their sides collection will take you back to your favorite church pot luck with the breadth of variety. They also had a very fresh salad bar with the best options you can ask for in before you indulge in the fried goodies. I caught them right before close so I was offered a discount take it to go. Al fresco dining was fine by me so I got to enjoy my weighty meal whilst looking at one of my favorite Texas institutions and sat amongst the ruins of the Sunken Garden.

We arrived on time and our order was placed withing 15 minutes of arrival. Food didn't start coming out for about 1 hour. There was no rime or reason to the order it came out. I waited for 2 hours and 20 minutes asking every 10 minutes about my meal once everyone at our table had their food. I asked no less than 6 times and there were at least 4 other people at my table that asked on my behalf. I was offered plates (wrong order) at least 5 times. This has to be the biggest disappointment at a restaurant I have ever experienced. We watched multiple tables that were empty get served the same order I placed before they finally brought out my order. (this took 2 hours and 20 minutes). The chicken fried steak was burnt to the point I could not eat it. I will say other people in our party had issues with extremely slow service also. Needless to say, I will not be returning for any reason and I will let everyone I know not to go there. By the way, this is the first review I have ever made and I am 64 years young.

The tots are great. Service is friendly and it's a comfortable place to eat, either inside or in the parking lot. It's great for roadtrips too, because you can order in the drive thru, and a few minutes later they'll call your name on the loudspeaker outside, which gives you a perfect few minutes for dog walking.

I am glad we did. It is very interesting and cool to see. Go on-line and set up the tour. The Spoetzl Brewery is out of the way but if you put it with another trip it is not a bad drive. The tour price includes a goodie bag and 3 glasses of beer. After you park, go inside to the gift shop to check-in. We went during the week and we had 4 people only so it was a nice tour. On the weekend the tour lady said it can be a large group of people. You get to bring your first beer on the tour. You see videos and beer lines where everything is made and packed up for sale. After the tour less than an hour you get to enjoy 2 more beers if you want. Outside is a big picnic table area covered where you can sit and enjoy your beer. You can eat there as will. There were a lot of people eating a bbq sandwich. You can get them next door to the gift shop. It did look good. Also they have a restaurant but we did not check that out.

I very much enjoy coming to the best little brewery in Texas…read more This time around we came to try the distillery, which was brand new. We bought a couple of tastings, and our bartender was super nice and informative without getting in our way of enjoying the spirits. We brought my mom to hang out and wow, my mom... she can throw them down. While I appreciated the strength of the vodka and the bourbon, my mom totally enjoyed the cinnamon moonshine. After trying out the distilled spirits, we went to the gift shop. I stocked up on some Shiner+Texas Standard gear, that now you can't really get anymore. The store is different than what you can get online, and vice versa... some of the stuff you might find online, you won't find in the in person store. After the tasting and shopping experience, we went to the new restaurant, which showcases the spirits and the seasonal beer. We also waited for the dessert. I enjoyed the bread pudding and we were lucky to try some practice rounds that the mixologists were trying out. All in all, we had a fun visit to one of my favorite places on the planet.
