    This place is such a good spot for a taste of a home cooked meal. The chicken friend chicken was good. There was a little bit of extra breading but it wasn't bad ! Burger was a little over cooked but it had some good flavor to it ! Service was fast! The restaurant was updated with valentines decor but needed some over all slight upgrades and cleaning.. the store attached had the cutest band bags and shirts and shoes.. a little pricy though! I definitely recommend to give this place a try!

    Nasty looking chicken fried steak

    Our server Jessica was delightful. Food was absolutely horrible. Hamburger steak had a foul taste even the instant gravy couldn't cover. Green beans looked weeks old . Mushrooms were straight from the freezer and left a watery greasy mess on our plates. Zero flavor. Cheap styrofoam plates , ketchup is watery cheap Sysco brand . Way to expensive to serve cheap condiments and disposable plates. I'm not on a picnic. We arrived at 10:20 expecting breakfast, was told breakfast was over already because the place was empty. Well I can see why . You can't change a premium price serving instant frozen Sysco food with no flavor.

    After cruising the highways and byways of Guadalupe County, I've stumbled upon this quaint little cafe a few times. The few times I have driven by, my timing has always been off. Well today, by golly, I decided to stop in and give this place a try. Upon walking in, you are first steered through a store with clothing, souvenirs, and miscellaneous knick knacks. After walking through said store, you are directed to seat yourself in their small dining area. So, we picked a seat to our liking, and got comfy. The dining room was packed with hard working farmers, one waitress taking drink orders, and one waitress taking food orders. The wait to order our drinks was a bit excessive, and the we almost considered walking out before waiting a long time to order our food. We were eventually greeted by a friendly young lady, and we placed our order. We ordered the bottle caps as an appetizer, then I ordered the fried pork chops with a baked potato and buttered corn. I was very excited about the fried chops, as you cannot find them many places. The wife ordered chicken strips (how boring, right?). My mother in law ordered the chicken fried steak. We received the bottle caps in good time and everyone at the table enjoyed them. My fried pork chops were decent. Not bad, but not as good as mom's. They were good enough to where I would get them again. The wife was not a fan of the chicken strips, as they looked frozen like the ones in the freezer section at HEB. The breading was also way too excessive. She said she will not be getting them again. The waitress also did not bring the fixings for the baked potatoes. My mother in law's chicken fried steak looked delicious, hanging over the plate, and she did not have any complaints. I do believe next time I will try the chicken fried steak. After receiving our check, we walked up to the front to pay the bill. The young lady behind the register apologized for the longer than usual wait. She explained that they were busier than usual, and they had a problem getting more staff today. She explained she called the boss and requested back up to help with the hungry crowd. The boss wished them "good luck" and decided to stay at home. To that, I say to the boss, "good luck" convincing me to give you more than three stars on this review. This easily was a four star visit, however, the poor service knocked it down a star. Your staff was very polite, and I gave my waitress the benefit of the doubt and tipped her accordingly, and more than I should have. Your "good luck" wishes were not going to cost this overworked young lady! I will give this place another try. The wife says she probably will not return. I would recommend this place to anyone passing by. But I would not recommend going out of your way for it. Enjoy!

    Me and my family went here for my sister's memorial birthday. We never ate there before, but we decided to try it out. First off, the service was ok. We waited a very long time for our food. We waited at least 40 minutes for food. The food wasn't even the best. I ordered cheese fries, and they were the worst cheese fries I've ever eaten at a restaurant. They were HARD, and the cheese was so melted in a microwave that the cheese was burnt to the lining, and all of them were stuck together. On a scale of 1-10, the cheese fries were a 1 or 2. I would NOT recommend the cheese fries. The main food was ok. My dad didn't like his squash casserole. he or my mom didn't eat theirs. My sister and sister in law liked the onion rings. My fries were good. The burgers were ok on a scale of 1-10. I'd say my food was a 3 or 4. Now the atmosphere of this place was so nice. It was welcoming, family oriented, and very relaxed. All in all. I don't think I'd be going back here.

    My husband and I stopped in to try as we just moved to the area and this place is one of the only places to eat near by. We weren't greeted right away but the service was good. I really love the hometown feel it gives off. You can tell it's where the locals go. My husband ordered the seafood plate and I ordered the burger and fries. Both were great! The fries were light and crispy and the catfish and hush puppies were on point. We will definitely be back

    Tried out Commerce Cafe in Lockhart and had a really solid experience overall. The roasted airline…read morechicken breast was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The glazed carrots had a light maple taste that paired really well with the dish. The temperature in the restaurant was perfect, which made the whole experience even more comfortable. Service was spot on too--Anna took great care of us and was incredibly patient as we shared stories and even offered a few decor suggestions. She was attentive without being overbearing. The music was great and set at just the right volume, which made it easy to relax, enjoy the meal and hear the conversation. That said, the decor could use a bit of improvement. No offense to the artist, but the prints felt a little odd and too small for the wall space. The overall layout of the restaurant could also be better--it didn't feel as cohesive as the food and service deserved. Also, the hardwood seats could use some padding for both the back and bottom to make longer visits more comfortable. All in all, definitely worth checking out for the food and atmosphere, with just a few areas that could be elevated.

    Good little spot to stop in when you're in Lockhart but are for some odd reason NOT craving BBQ…read more We got: -the popovers (a must, very filling, so beware. I do wish it came with more onion butter though!) -burger and fries (solid, the bread leaned a little sweat for my taste -derby pie (get it warmed up!)

    Ordered takeout but service was awesome…read more I arrived too early for my order but the kind staff told the kitchen to fire my order and it came out faster than I imagined. I had the burger of the month (cool concept) which happened to be the "the tres hombres" which had the perfect kick w/ those fried jalapeños And the bacon was so crispy!!!! Wife had the bacon mushroom swiss burger which was also good cause it had lots of mushrooms + onions. Tots as an option is chef's kiss. We were def impressed w/ this place. The decor and vibes are very nice, so we def plan on coming back and dining in Grain of salt- parking is a bit hard. So be prepared!

Now that tourist season is over, New Braunfels is back on my areas to eat list. We decided that we would try this on a weekday night. We used one of apps for driving directions to get to this place. That turned out to be the only bad thing about this trip. For whatever reason, it took us on a very circuitous route. If I had known that it was located across the street from Pat's Place, I could have driven straight to it. When we finally arrived, I was not sure it was open. Also, signage was poor, so we didn't see it right away. When we did get into the parking lot, parking was easy, and we were able to get next to the entrance. We walked in and were greeted immediately by the young lady behind the counter. She was very friendly, and finding out it was our first time, she explained the entire process for us. Seeing they had Hatch Chili for the Down the Hatch burger, I knew what I had to have (Have you had Hatch Chili on your burger? Once you try it, you will never go back to typical burgers). My wife ordered the classic burger fixed just like she likes it. We also ordered an order of fries. Our food was made fresh and delivered quickly. The lady that brought our food to the table turned out to be the manager, and she was so nice. In fact, she even gave us a free ice cream for dessert:) Our food was piping hot and made just as we ordered. I took one bite and said I'll definitely be coming back. My wife loved her food too. In addition to the burgers being great, I have to say that the fries might have been the best I've ever had. Seriously! They were just crisp enough, hot, fresh, seasoned well, and nongreasy. After finishing our meal, we went to try the ice cream. The young lady working the ice cream stand was so friendly. She explained how they make their own ice cream and wanted us to try as many samples as we wanted. We decided on the salted caramel as it was so good:) She also told us that they had another location in Gruene, and that we should try it when visiting. Will I return? Definitely - the folks were really friendly, the food was great, and the ice cream for dessert was fantastic.
