Adult grilled cheese with tomato jam, and grilled ham

Very friendly great music wonderful food ample parking lot Look forward to returning here again, just to get a snack

Chicken Fried Ribeye... Burned to oblivion
Alethea A.

Holy Hell. I went here tonight and placed an order to go. It was OVER AN HOUR before I got my food. I watched order after order after order come out of the kitchen, but my order was still back there. I FINALLY got my order and I was so happy... Until I got home. I ordered the Chicken Fried Ribeye and it was so overcooked that it was inedible. The meat actually cracked apart when I put my fork in it. I was still optimistic that it was only that one piece that was cooked into oblivion, but sadly, I was wrong. I guess if you're going here for nachos or a drink then this is a good place to go. This was my very first time here and it will definitely be my last.

Eating area drinks and us

The food was great! Drinks even better we ate a late lunch and then came back for karaoke that evening now that was a blast and the host of the karaoke was even better. That man could sing! Service was friendly and we met all kind of great people there was just a really good atmosphere and even when full the service was still really good! Highly recommend for a night out or a lunch!

Grilled shrimp

What a FUN place. Drink specials even on weekends. Staff super friendly and efficient. This can be a super busy place when packed out. The band was just fun too. Very into the audience. This a true casual place! Lots of TVs on the walls and clean pool tables. Can be very loud but still very chill. Food was excellent, was truly not expecting it to be so good. Drinks certainly not watered down. For a laid back fun time-this is it.

Catfish Thursday Special

Came here because saw the special on FB 2 thick pieces of catfish and they weren't thick it's like they split the filet. The special is 12.50 but for some reason they charged me an extra .50 cents for 2 sauces I only needed tartar. The fish was very good though and they give you a lot of fries. The hush puppies were just ok. The service was not good I sat at the bar and the bar tender this night never once checked up on me had to get a server for a refill and my check. All in all the place is fun, they have TVs to catch sports and different stuff going on during the week.

Can't really see bar lighting is terrible but food still stuck to my knife and fork.

Yikes, this places has A LOT of hate! Yelp fam, y'all are cold blooded! I came here about two weeks…read moreago (the day before I went to the concert at Dickie's Arena). Getting to this venue isn't difficult but what is difficult is getting IN to the venue. Specifically, I had VIP parking but I still had to wait in a single lane to get into the parking lot for more more than 30 minutes. I literally missed the beginning of the show I was supposed to see because I was sitting in my car waiting for the police to direct the one lane of traffic to the general parking lot vs the venue parking lot. Once inside the venue, concert/event goers will see different lines for VIP check-in vs. regular check-in. As I was late to this concert and was VIP, I didn't necessarily have the same problems as the Yelpers who mentioned overly long waits to get in. Once I was in the venue, I went directly to the VIP suites that are located upstairs. The suite I was in had a bar right next to it, therefore when I requested food or drinks, the waitstafff came quickly as they were within earshot. Unlike others who mentioned long waits for service, I think it largely depends upon what tye of admission you are have (general, standing room vs. suite, vs. lower level seating). This is the first outdoor venue I've been to in Central Texas that has suites. It should also be noted that those who have suits also have thier own VIP bathrooms (not porta-potties). Therefore, my opinion of the seating, bathrooms and view of the event is probably slanted because of the type of access I had. *Here's a tip, if you have a membership to the golf course next door, you can sit and listen to the music for free* Once outside the suite, the general merchandise area and event merchandise area was fairly lackluster. Aside from the stereotypical astronomical prices, this section and selections was generally unimpressive. There appeared to be several food options from Texas Barbecue to Nachos with minimal wait for food offerings. The sound of the event was good but not great. This isn't a deal breaker for me as some of the performers had trouble with their equipment. Also for this event, I went to see Blues Travler and John had COVID so this wasn't the best showing for the group. There was another lead singer reading lyrics from a sheet and as everyone knows that no one can be John other than John Popper. I left this concert early as I wanted to avoid the same issue I had getting into the venue with the traffic. I am not sure based upon this showing that I would return to an event here.

We really loved going to a concert at this venue. The Texas Hill Country is beautiful and charming…read moreand WhiteWater Amphitheater just adds to that. We went and saw Granger Smith and he rocked the house as always! Seating for this event was set up with tables due to Covid but when the concert actually happened they were allowed to let everyone come to the stage and enjoy the concert the normal way! Awesome! The guests at the tables were able to enjoy their table for most of the concert but near the end everyone was allowed at the front. The staff was great and bartenders took care of everyone very well. Portpots were the bathrooms, which i guess since it is an outdoor venue makes sense. (although I am never ok with a portopot lol) Parking was done efficiently and we weren't waiting for hours afterwards to get out which we were all surprised about. Lots of law enforcement around so don't drink an drive, or be a jerk!

Marina Magic with Minor Flaws…read more The Good: Breakwater delivers where it counts. The marina-side bar seating offers stunning waterfront views and prime people-watching. The fried redfish is exceptional--perfectly golden and flaky. The hush puppies are revelatory, possibly the best you'll find on the planet. Swirly Fries hit that perfect crispy-fluffy balance, and the Buffalo chicken sandwich brings serious flavor. The Not-So-Good: Skip the chicken wings--they're overfried and disappointing. More problematically, the patio fly situation is relentless. Bring your swatting skills or dine indoors. The Verdict: Despite minor kitchen missteps and pest control issues, Breakwater captures that magical combination of great food, killer views, and buzzing atmosphere. The hits far outweigh the misses, making this a marina gem worth visiting. 4/5 Stars - Exceptional waterfront dining with room for improvement.

It was very exciting news to hear that the restaurant at Canyon Lake Marina was being resurrected…read moreunder new management with a new menu after Baja Ice House was closed for the whole Spring/Summer 2023 season. Everyone around the lake was acting like that lady in the old Black Friday commercial, faces desperately pressed against the window, chanting "Open! Open! Open!" This weekend, our family had the pleasure to finally have a sit down meal at Breakwater Grill, and we enjoyed the experience and food. Hooray! Yes, this is lakeside dining at one of the very few spots with a lake view in this area, so you'll pay a premium for that (hence the 4/5 star rating). That's nothing new for this location. If you're on a tight budget, Breakwater may not be the best option. You *do* get complimentary chips and salsa when you are seated to dine, cash payments get a 3%-ish discount, and there are a few Happy Hour deals (M, W-F 3:30p-6p - $1 off domestic bottled beers, $4 house 'ritas, $3 well drinks, and $4 chips & queso). Otherwise, prices range as follows: cocktails $10-$12, beer $4.50-$7, appetizers $8-$18, sides $5, entrees $14-$17, and desserts $8-$10. We loved our meal and the service was great from hosts to waiter to servers. This was a lazy Sunday with a light crowd of lunchtime diners, so things could be different when the team is under a bit more pressure. We ordered 2 Queso Burgers and 1 Fried Redfish & Shrimp Plate. All came with Breakwater's unique "home style fries" that look like steak fries and kettle chips had a tasty baby; the cut of the potato comes out in a semi-scoop shape, perfect for dipping. The burgers include grilled, fresh jalapenos, which give such awesome flavor. The fried fish and shrimp were cooked perfectly, and as an SETX / Gulf Coast girl, I'm not easy to please. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying the decadent funnel cake fries, a massive serving of crispy donut sticks covered in chocolate sauce, likely enough for at least 6 people. We hardly made a dent in those, but we took the rest home to refresh in the air fryer for a midnight snack. Good to know: - Closed on Tuesdays - Tons of TVs available both indoors and outside for watching the big game - Follow on social media to learn about special events such as live music on the outdoor deck - 2 Tesla EV parking spots available, as well as front row parking for motorcycles, and hitching posts for those on horseback (southside of the bocce court) - They *will* charge you extra for any change to the menu item. For example, my son didn't want the grilled peppers on his $17 Queso burger, so we asked for them "on the side" - our server didn't tell us that would result in a $1.29 upcharge :-(

Nice little bar out in the country away from the busy streets of San Antonio. Drinks were well made…read moreand Stephanie did a solid job as my bartender.

I think the name is hilarious because whenever you mention it to people, they ask "what place?" or ask for you to drop a pin for location since you can't figure out the name. First thing you notice when walking in is the eclectic atmosphere and funky furniture. The outdoor area is decorated with miscellaneous outdoor furniture pieces and the indoor decor is no different. Everyone at the bar (patrons and staff) are very friendly and happy to chat. Additionally, there were quite a few loose dogs which made it even more fun... I love the pups! We went inside to place our drink orders. My friend ordered a bud light (bottled as they have a limited draft menu) and I ordered a Dulce Vida Lime Tequila w/ Topo Chico & Lime. I had tried to order a few other items (like a Deep Eddy Lime Vodka w/ Diet Tonic but they were out of that liquor... and a bunch of other liquors). For the second round, I ended up ordering a Deep Eddy Cranberry Vodka w/ Topo Chico. The drinks I ordered are ones I have had before and somehow they didn't taste as good here, but they definitely weren't bad my any means. Plus, the bartenders were so nice that I wouldn't have complained. I loved that they had a popcorn machine, offered complimentary popcorn & peanuts, and had fun live music. This place was fun all around and would be great to bring a large group to! I would definitely go back with a group of friends - the whole ambiance is too fun not to.
