    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'm Asian and this place is trash. Firstly the prices are not reflected anywhere. So when you look…read morehere it seems reasonable for the poor quality food. It's double. 90 bucks for old, cold food. What a waste of money. Could have gone to a half way decent restaurant for 90 dollars. Even thinking the price would be 50 bucks this place seemed overpriced for what you get. Sushi is super old and going to get someone sick.

    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.

    Up until arrival my fellow cohorts of like minded and able bodied individuals and me had been at…read morethe Tesla giga factory for an alarming 6 hours. Trogging through paperwork and the sloth paced management team we were looking for both a change in scenery and pace and we found it at Barstop Roadhouse. Upon entry you're greeted by the crooning of Johnny Cash and the bustling kitchen working with precision accuracy to deliver and create meals worthy of the title "best burger in Barstop county for 18 consecutive years." We sat down and within seconds a server appeared with menus and a friendly smile. We scrounged the menu looking for a burger that would appease a hunger only equal to that of a Lovecraftian god. I chose the swiss mushroom burger an exception had to be made because as you all know I am deathly afraid of lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I feared that taking these items off of the swiss mushroom burger would sully the appeal and flavor profile. Upon arrival of the burger all doubts where cast aside. THE BURGER The burger arrived bathed in a golden glow. Covered in button mushrooms and layered with delectable Swiss cheese these two ingredients elevated the burgers taste profile. The mushrooms added a deep umami flavor that was perfectly paired with the sweet tasting swiss. The buns where the ribbon in top, sweet sourdough bread conformed to the burger creating a warm pillow separating fingers and patty. To summarize this single mushroom Swiss burger turned a travesty into a celebration of life.

    Very disappointed with their menu choices Not very many…read morechoices to choose from No chicken fried steak I mean this is Texas a state known for chicken fried steak No brown gravy, non mashed potatoes , their fried potatoes were French fries . and the one that lead me to give a bad review is the pricese on the menu were not very clear because the price for my 8 oz sirloin I thought was 16.95 Turned out to be 26.95 the 2 looked like a 1 and yes I was wearing my glasses so needless to say I will not be going back there again..
