The muffuletta had chunky olives instead of a traditional schmear on soft bread. The Rueben had plenty of sliced beef & good pumpernickel.

I've ordered from Grumpy's twice now, and here's the rundown…read more The first time I tried the Philly Cheesesteak, and honestly, it was just okay--nothing special, nothing terrible, just kind of mid. But I believe in second chances, so I gave them another shot. Round two, I went with the Gourmet Burger... and that's when Grumpy's redeemed itself. That fried egg on top takes it from a regular burger to something you remember--juicy, flavorful, and stacked just right. The portion size was solid, and it felt like real value for the price. If you're a burger person in Victoria, I'd say skip the Philly and go straight for the burger. Grumpy's has it down pat. Rating: 4 / 5

The lamb gyro was absolutely amazing. Got the German potatoes with it which were very good…read more Went back a second time and got the buffalo chicken sandwich. I expected breaded chicken and it was grilled nuggets in sauce on a sandwich. I didn't like it... ate half and threw the rest away. Was charged twice for fries (they're included in the meals price but that was due to a new employee who didn't know that and neither did I, so won't fault them for that. Just expensive enough already to be overcharged and not have it offered to be corrected when it was discovered by the cook who gave me two orders of fries. Just posting this as an fyi to make sure you pay attention to your charges when ordering.)

While I lived in Victoria, a dear friend and I always had lunch at Yummy Finds. The name says it…read moreall. The menu is relatively long, but, unlike the way I typically order at a restaurant, I always had the same thing--a turkey sandwich with fruit. There was something so satisfying about the simplicity. The turkey was fresh and tender, the lettuce crisp, and the side of fruit and its "dip," which was unusual in that it was a solid rather than liquid, was delicious. The first thing a diner sees upon walking in is a case full of small cupcakes, and we often had to choose one for dessert. One of the best things about the place, though, is that the restaurant is in an old house, with tables set up in several rooms, so we often were able to eat in a room we didn't have to share. It was my favorite places to have a ladies' lunch.

I waited at the window until a vehicle pulled up (cashier and I knew when a vehicle came up I was going to go around and park). So I pulled around and waited and waited until the said cashier came out (4:21pm) and asked, "you are waiting on that double dang burger", "we ran out of patties and have to make more" I told him calmly, "yes I am, I've been waiting for almost an hour, I've seen five different people go in place orders and get them before me and I've been here longer, I'll just take my return". I honestly think they gave my food to the Ford after me or the other white chevy after him but I got my return ,but I'll be avoiding this location and I also went against my gut going there.

I am hoping that this was just a one time screw up at Jason's Deli in Victoria. Everyone else appeared to be enjoying their food and company.

We had a great experience at The Water Well Cafe in Victoria and would absolutely come back…read more From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, which made a big impression on our whole family. We also appreciated the Christian decor throughout the restaurant and enjoyed learning that members of the team participate in an annual mission trip to Guatemala. There was even Christian merchandise available for purchase to help support those trips, which was a really meaningful touch. The food was just as good as the service. Our kids were very happy with the chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers--fair warning, the burgers are HUGE and come with a very generous portion of fries. Everything felt like classic comfort food done right. We also tried the chicken tenders, fried okra, and tater tots, and all of it was delicious. I ordered the hamburger steak plate with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, and it was flavorful, filling, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only "regret" we had was not ordering the onion rings--they looked incredible when we saw them come out for another table! If you're in Victoria and looking for a friendly, family-oriented spot with great food, this is definitely worth a visit.

Started outside on the BEAUTIFUL patio overlooking the Guadalupe River. The ambiance itself is world class! We had a drink outside as the day was beautiful and then went inside to dine. We ordered the Mac/cheese bacon wrapped bites as an appetizer and to be honest...I could've eaten all 6 myself! They were delicious! One person in our group ordered grill chicken and vegetables...I noticed his plate was cleaned! My husband ordered a hamburger and kettle chips...said it was great and we stole some of his chips and they were GOOD! The rest of us had salads and they all were fabulous (I also added fried shrimp to my salad and they were huge and good!) Our waiter was a young man named Ethan. He was absolutely brilliant! He didn't miss a beat with our crowd and that's saying ALOT! He was also extremely gracious and so professional!!! I asked if he could take a few photos of our group....he said of course and the photos were great! We all had a fantastic time in beautiful surroundings with delicious food and with top notch service! Who could ask for more?! 5/5 stars with extra stars for Ethan!

Definitely a ladies who lunch type of place and with that the service, though lovely was slow but for a lot of the guests, it probably lends to a leisurely lunch experience. Food was very impressive - their fried pickle dip is absolutely delicious!! Loved it and will have to try and find a way to replicate it with a lighter version - it's a must have if you like pickles. Then enjoyed the fish tacos that were so good! Blackened Mahi Mahi that was cooled perfectly and a delicious spicy cabbage slaw!! Fantastic! Definitely worth seeking out this unexpected gem in Victoria.
