    We stopped at Sunken Gardens for lunch on our way to Goliad State Park and were pleasantly…read moresurprised. 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.

    I hate buffets but keep getting convinced to come here sometimes when I'm in town. They have a low…read morerating, but not the lowest in town. This place has signs saying they're celebrating their 25th anniversary and it shows. In fact, it's so rundown inside, you would think it opened in the 1980s. Their selection is decent and they do have a couple types of fresh meat grilled in front of you, the short ribs and the korean beef squares. Their fresh green beans aren't bad either. Try the raw blue crab legs if you dare. I did try some of the sushi since I needed to eat light due to a second dinner on my most recent visit. Most of their rolls are made with fake crab pieces or fake crab mix with various toppings across the top of the cut roll. There were like 2 with actual raw fish, one was a spicy tuna roll and the other had either salmon or tuna across the top. None of the sushi is very good quality, as you typically see at buffets. Their desserts are nothing to write home about either. Their sesame balls aren't bad. We had 14 in our group so we ended up getting seated in their very back room which is not very appealing and has no windows. Service is average at best for a buffet restaurant. You can tell some of the employees don't actually want to be there. Overall, this is in a fairly popular area for shopping, so I can see why it stays busy and has been in business for a long time.

    eaten here quite a few times but got horribly SICK today- 12-9-25…read more so thats the thing about buffets- you never know if some cockroach who is sick/doesnt wash or bathe infected food OR something was not prepared correctly or tainted. I am leaning toward the latter..have no ideea..I ate the shrimp, 1 buffalo wing ( it did taste funny) soup, hate it when this happens but sadly, prob wont go back...I do feel AWFUL..cramping and very loose bowels- hoping I dont end up at hospital..all for now..back to the bathroom ;=(

    Another great meal today posing as a late lunch. Likely a good thing as I will not have to eat…read moreagain today. Service was great as always as well. Love the "feel" of the place. Wood floors, tin ceilings and walls and people of all walks of life. Nuthin better!

    My friend insisted we go here for lunch because he was raving about "the best burger in town." I…read moreimmediately hit him with, "But I'm a vegetarian!" Lol. Pulling up to Roadhouse felt like I was about to film a low-budget country music video. The aggressively unpretentious energy was immaculate. The all-dirt parking lot said everything! No curated patio, no aesthetic succulents just straight up vibes and dust. The place was packed at 1 p.m. Our server, Raven, took great care of us from the jump. Rave was very efficient, friendly, and had zero attitude. We ordered a basket of fries, a portobello mushroom burger for me, a cheeseburger, a Philly cheesesteak, upgraded side salads, and, of course, their famous carrot cake to share. Now, let me confess something: As a Californian, I walked in with absolutely zero expectations given the facade. And yet... the fries were perfect. The portobello burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and very satisfying! My friends inhaled their cheeseburger and Philly like they were participating in a competitive sport. Lol. And don't even get me started with their carrot cake. It was disrespectfully delicious! This was seriously the most humbling "don't judge a book by its cover" moment I've had in a while. Roadhouse doesn't need any curated lighting or a reclaimed-wood Instagram wall because the food and service speak for themselves. I drove into a dirt lot with skepticism and left faceplanted by my own bias. Consider me corrected, Bastrop!
