Really tender, I liked the bbq sauce, a little different than "traditional bbq sauce" here, my boyfriend didn't like it. We also got the smashburger and the potato skins. The potato skins are a perfect appetizer and the smashburger was alright. The service could have been better, they kind of side eyed us, not sure why, castroville is a small town but I assume this is not a spot "for the locals" only. In general the space had enough seating for the time we went but I could see it getting packed.

They were out of a couple things though but it wasn't a big deal since we didn't want what they were out of lol. The garlic cheese bread was good and so was the pizza! We tried their angry sauce which we didn't personally think was spicy it just kind of tasted like sweet salsa since it had jalapeños instead of spicy marinara which normally has crushed red pepper or other spices. Ambience was nice. Seating is outside on wooden benches. Not sure if we would come again though.

There was a sign to seat yourselves. OK. We sat down and the bartender brought us menus. Us and a group of three were the only customers. Brought us waters. While looking at the menu, a server comes over and asks if we wanted appetizers or go straight to order. Straight to order, please. The husband ordered the brisket pot roast. It came with asparagus and what he thinks was puréed squash. I had the pecan chicken. Panko breaded with pecans and a bourbon sauce. Maple and bourbon were the flavor elements. Came with baked Mac and cheese and sliced slightly charred carrots. This was really good, as was the husbands plate. Warm Sourdough bread and butter is served with the meal. We split a Caesar salad. The salad was OK, the dressing was a little tart and served on the side. I'm taking a slice of chocolate cake to go. As I peek into the bag, it is a generous slice with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Stay tuned. The restaurant is part of the Hillside Resort. Looks like a bunch of rooms. When we were about to leave a group of women came in and sat at the bar. I told the bartender we'd heard about them through Texas Eats. He said 'are they still showing that? That was about six chefs ago!' All righty then. I'd say it's worth a trip to try.

Reservations were made ahead of time for 4 and upon arrival we were were seated right next to the large open windows. Ordered the Berry Patch cocktail- nice and refreshing with a splash of mint leaves. Menu wasn't overwhelming and had a nice assortment of dishes. Starters ordered - pork belly bites and fried Brussels sprouts. Both highly recommend! Dishes ordered- salmon, pork chop, pot roast, and steak. Pork chop and steak were not dry, but juicy with lots of flavor. I loved pot roast growing up , so I had to order it here. Although tasty, texture was a little chewy and tough. Also would have enjoyed a little more helping of vegetable/potato purée underneath the roast. The salmon dish looked fabulous, but was slightly salty. The sweet bun that accompanied each dish were delicious! Service was good. I'd come back to try the pork chop next time around.

They offer military service which is awesome The interior is clean and a good amount of seating. Even more seating on the exterior with pic nic tables. Looks like a good weekend spot They have a couple TVs inside nothing crazy big. On the exterior I didn't see any TVs but if they added a decent sized tv there it'd be an awesome hangout spot to watch a game or some fights. Any ways i recommend! 4 large pizzas 2+ toppings on all came out to around $100

We did wait about 20 minutes for our food to come out, again it was Mother's Day so that probably played an effect. I also called & made reservations a week before so we did not have to wait long for a table. This place is BYOB, they do offer wine glasses so don't worry if you forget yours.

We went on a very busy Friday evening. We've always wanted to try this place out bury never had the…read moreopportunity until now. When you walk into this restaurant, I felt as though I was transported to a small Italian restaurant nestled in Venice...it wasn't the decorations but possible just the building itself that reminded me of restaurants in Europe. Although the place only has window units, it wasn't as hot as the 100°+ heat outside and it was welcoming. Note to everyone: make reservations for Friday or Saturday evening as they are packed! We didn't know this and the lady asked if we wanted to sit outside and because it was nearly 110° outside we asked if we could sit inside. She stated they were completely booked but she will do what she can. There was a large group of 15 that had reservations and her and the owner, Luigi, made accommodations to fit my family of 4. You can tell the atmosphere was one where these people are regulars the way the owner interacted with them. The menu was extensive and had everything for everyone. They also gave you complimentary garlic bread that were beyond amazing! This can be a meal in itself! They came out piping hot and fresh! Beware, you can get full off of these alone! One is not enough! We ordered the following: 1. Cheese pizza 2. Chicken piccata 3. Chicken tetrazzini 4. Spaghetti with meatballs Ask my daughter and the cheese pizza was two thumbs up, ask my husband and he said the pizza was really good! Great flavor, not too thick, not too thin for their liking. I ordered the chicken piccata and it was very good. The only criticism I have and it's a weird one, was that I thought there was too much chicken. Don't get me wrong, I like chicken but when it comes to pasta, I love pasta and the sauce much more! Next time I will ask for less chicken and more pasta. It was great. Not too buttery, capers gave it a punch, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My husband had the tetrazzini and I will tell you I absolutely thought it was better than mine! I loved his more and it had such a great balance of flavors of peppers and artichoke and the pasta was perfectly cooked. I will probably order this next time! My son ate the spaghetti and meatballs and said it was the best spaghetti and meatballs he's ever had! He tore right into it and loved it, which is rare. The meatballs had great flavor, but the sauce reminded me of the chefboyree, which my husband loves so he loved it as well. Update: we are here again and did the meat sauce and it was soooo much better in my opinion. I ordered some Dessert and all were so good. The owner is incredibly nice and accommodating! The service was great as well! I love this hole in the wall! Love this place! Definitively Recommended!

Chips weren't my favorite, but everything else was great! Service was fabulous too! She smiled big when ordered the charro beans. She was right!
