    The food service has changed. We went a couple of weeks ago and the fish was back up to standard. Hoping it stays at that level or better. Staff are friendly and they don't hover which is a mixed bag. Love the ambiance of the place both inside and out. They've done a lot of work to be inviting to all. Still among our favorite places in LHTX.

    After driving past Hell or High Water for several years and saying "we really should try that place"... we did! Really glad we did! We had a good meal. Mel was our waiter, and he was awesome... attentive but not intrusive! We started with a top shelf margarita which was a little heavy on the salted rim, but a quick wipe with a napkin fixed that. The cocktail was very good. For food we tried the reuben sandwich (with sauteed spinach), the fried shrimp (with baby gold potatoes and sauteed asparagus), and the fish and chips. My first observation was the food came out so hot, we had to let it cool for a minute or too! Perfect, we like really hot fried stuff! The reuben was good, a bit of a twist on the traditional with provolone cheese and "home-made russian sauce." Tasty... The fried shrimp were also good, breading just right, the tartar sauce was OK (we make our own at home, hard to beat). The fish and chips were the highlight... fish (cod) lightly battered, fried golden crisp, atop a mound of fries. We don't eat fries often, so they gotta be good... these were. Delicious! We passed on dessert. Only two choices: chocolate cake and cinnamon apple brown butter cake. The pictures looked good, but we were stuffed! Recommend Hell or High Water.

    Lots of construction going on in front. Plenty of parking and back we entered towards the back area as well. Kind of awkward entering in the back. I assume it was a waiter who asked if he could help me. At this point we left. There is an extremely small signage with hell or High Water sign. Wasn't feeling the vibe. It was very confusing. 3 stars we did not eat or drink. I wanted to be fair. It would be nice to be greeted warmly and welcoming.

    Ambiance: Rustic themed brewery with a bar, indoor seating, and patio in the historic downtown area of Liberty Hill. Perfect spot for grabbing a bite, celebrating an occasion, date night, or fun evening on the patio. I loved their oatmeal beer "Red Sleigh Down" - sooo good! My husband enjoyed his beer choice as well. Expansive menu, lots of options including vegetarian & healthier items. Parking onsite. Incredibly friendly staff, we will definitely go back!

    First visit. I live nearby, hadn't ever tried them and had a craving for Fish and Chips. I was so hungry that I started eating and forgot to take a pic. Good fresh, hand breaded fish (Cod I think), with nice freshly cooked Chips (fries). I don't think they are homemade, but they were good. Nicely served with Malt Vinegar. We also had some breaded Mozzarella. Those tasted fresh home made. Good fast and friendly service. Ambience was nice and relaxed. As I'm not really a drinker, I won't comment on that. Nice place. We will br back.

    Excellent place! We stopped here after doing the North Pole Flyer with our kids, needing dinner and a drink. The hostess greeted us immediately and quickly got us to a table. We ordered a pretzel and the nachos right away, and things came out quick! Our kids both ordered the kids chicken tenders with fries, while my spouse ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the cowboy burger. It was all amazingly delicious. The burger was huge! I actually didn't set it down once I started attacking it for fear it would lose all structural integrity-it was that good! Loved the seating area-it was welcoming, clean, and even with the UT game on didn't feel overwhelmingly like a bar. There was also a beer garden in the back that looked like it would be a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. We skipped that this trip though bc it was cold and rainy- next time for sure!

    Oops,  my camera didn't eat this pretzel first. It's so good, worth stopping in for.

    We stopped in here about a year ago, it's out of the way and we accidentally came across Hell or High Water Brewing. This past weekend we were out and about and I felt like having a beer and a pretzel, for a year now I've been comparing bar pretzels with this place. I can't provide a review on the food here but I can tell you it's worth driving out of your way for this crispy outer, soft inner and overall delicious pretzel. The service here has been great the couple of times we visited and it's a really nice quaint establishment. The beer selections have been good and we've had a couple of nice IPA's. We have had too many breweries in Austin closing, it's nice places like this that need to get our business so we don't lose another.

    We dined at a cozy brewery located in the cute town of Liberty Hill, TX. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas, which gave it a warm and homey feeling. They have a fantastic outdoor patio that would be wonderful when the weather is nice.The waitstaff was friendly and very attentive. The food was fantastic. The smoked pulled was very tender and delicious. Great location, I would highly recommend it!

    First timer - impressed with variety of dishes on the menu, excellent service, clean atmosphere. We were a party 6 - and spent time eating and commensurating - and were never rushed. Not very crowded when we were there - weekday around lunchtime.

    Patio area! Plenty of seating, TVs, Space Heaters, Fans, and good spot for live music on weekends.

    This has become one of our go to spots in Liberty Hill! They recently completely the outdoor patio section so we had to go and check it out. Really love the extra seating! It's got TVs, space heaters and fans depending on the weather, and a great spot to listen to live music on the weekends. Our server Matthew was awesome and the food and drinks were great! We usually get the Fish and Chips (always cooked perfectly) and on this occasion I enjoyed the Hibiscus Devils Punch Cocktail-so delicious and strong! Look forward to coming back again and enjoying more meals on the patio!

    Pretzels are good, but everything else is mediocre. Drinks taste watered down and the food poorly constructed.

    Couldn’t agree more and we love everyone’s puppies. Unfortunately, Williamson County Health Department does not allow us to have animals inside (except certified service animals). We are pet friendly outside, but certainly understand your concern… Read more

    One stop shopping for primo eating and drinking good times…read more * * * Obsidian Brewery makes beer. I have no idea how the beer is. I may visit Obsidian Brewery time after time after time after time and never find out how their beer is. This is because a) They have an outstanding bar and b) They have an outstanding kitchen. For me, beer is a hardship beverage you drink when there is nothing else better available. When I go to a bar, I can sometimes be looking for mix-mastering. Usually I am looking for outstanding top of the line hard spirits. * * * When I walked into Obsidian, I looked at their bar. It was love at first sight. In front of me were twenty yards of three shelves of the most wonderful bottles I could possibly imagine. Half of them I had never heard of before. * * * I settled on a Buddha's Hand Gin. Buddha and Gin rarely appear in the same sentence Never mind the same label on a bottle. I ordered it straight up. I went immediately to Nirvana. Forget the meditation and the austerities. The Buddha's Hand Gin was as good as a trip to the Himalayas. Buddha's Hand is an obscure citrus fruit that grows multiple protuberances the way some horseradishes do. It is golden and looks like a hand. Ergo the name. The Buddha's Hand Gin is a citrus tinged gin with an edge more like orange zest than like orange juice. The additional botanicals make it strong, attention grabbing, fruity and yet combative. I was absolutely fascinated. Note that Buddha's Hand Gin is only one of the many items they have to explore there. I am totally ready to do more exploring. * * * The kitchen at Obsidian is also of distinction. The savvy local guide I came with adored his Thai Curry Wood Fired Rings. I went with a Cheesy Bread. This is open-faced grilled cheese on a thick slice of bread the size of a shoebox, with a wonderful homemade tomato sauce on about 1/3 of it. It is the best cheese pizza you have ever had. It is what cheese pizza is supposed to be if you don't use the standard canned ingredients that institutional providers sell to Domino's. I was as in love with my cheese bread as I was with my citrus gin. * * * The company was also outstanding. Which is just as well because Obsidian is a social place. Lots of Leanderthals having a fine time in couples and groups. This is not a loner's loser bar. You know - the dark rooms with misfits drinking their sixth beer while watching TV. This is a good folks good times full-of-sunlight place. So you definitely want to come with good folks. * * * Good food, good bottles, good people. And if you are feeling chipper, You can even have a homemade beer to celebrate.

    I want to give the staff a shout out! Both bartenders last night were absolutely amazing!…read more We had the pepperoni pizza, Thai Pizza, and the lemon pepper wings extra crispy!

Somehow…read moreit's okay to argue with paying customers (a true lack of what customer service is all about)! My experience, for someone that was a regular, this was more than disappointing. The business has a music bingo on Friday nights (or every other) which can be over excessively load. I was with a group of 15+ people - fellow members of an International club visiting the location. The group decided to move out onto the patio because it was too load in the dining area to have a conversation. Shortly thereafter that, the host of the music bingo placed a load speaker out onto the patio and turned it up full blast. We tried to get him to turn it down, but he refused. Thus, our group disbanded leaving only 4 of us. It continued to be extremely load out on the patio and several people started to complain... so I took it onto my own to to turn the speaker down to a reasonable level - I received a applause from the other customers. Within moments, a staff member walked out onto the patio and turned the speaker up to a ear deafening level. I asked her to turn it down and her response was... "this is the way, it always is!" With an attitude like that I became upset - I gave her a piece of mind (a couple of word slipped out - nothing that she hasn't heard before in her life). Moments later, the manager came out and admonished me in a very disturbing manner, which again, was poorly handled. It will be suggesting to my fellow International members and my Meetup group, to look for alternative venues that will appreciate our business (there so many in Cedar Park). Apparently, Whitestone Brewery has more customers than they need. I didn't realize that I had not completed my review - this goes back to the beginning of the year. Note: the response from the Owner is completely inaccurate. Ryan wasn't even there the night it happen - only going on what his employees told him. I have witnesses (business owners that are very involved with the community) that observed the entire event and they were taken back by the whole disregard to customer service. Instead of being apologetic, he throws around statements that legitimizes his inadequacies. A real piece of work.
