Great food and service (Jennifer), especially the bread pudding!…read more Had a great experience at Kindling Texas Kitchen. The restaurant is built in what used to be a house, which makes it a very interesting and unique concept. The steak was really good, and the portion was plenty for a big eater like me. The cornbread was also delicious, but the absolute highlight was the bourbon bread pudding. Honestly, it was probably one of the best things we had! Definitely a place I'd come back to. Great food and portions, and that bread pudding is a must-try!

Kindling Texas Kitchen is such a great place to go when you're looking for a special meal, which is…read moreexactly why we chose it to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. From the moment we walked in, I immediately told my husband how perfect the atmosphere felt. It was warm, cozy, and just had that special-occasion feeling we were hoping for. Even better, we were seated in a little nook with only one other table nearby, which made the whole experience feel even more intimate and private. Our service was quick, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. And the food... absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, hot, and that melt-in-your-mouth kind of delicious. Our wine was great as well, and honestly, the entire meal came together perfectly. Yes, it definitely comes with a higher price tag, but for us, it was worth it for a special occasion. In fact, I think this is going to become our once-a-year kind of place. I almost want to keep it that way because I love that it still has that wow factor, and I'd hate for it to lose some of its magic if we came too often. We had such a wonderful anniversary dinner and couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate 20 years together. Definitely a memorable meal, and one we'll be talking about for a while!

The food was good. The service was good. The ambiance was good. I could not rate them a "5"…read morebecause they have joined in a trend that leaves a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). They charged me 3.5% for using my credit card to pay for my meal. That bank charge is one of their costs of business (what is next, charging for the dish soap they use to wash your plate?) and is therefore a deductible business expense. But for me, since I cannot write it off, that 3.5% just increases my cost of dining out. I know restaurant margins are slim, but I'm pinching pennies, too, so I won't be going back to this restaurant.

The Buttermilk Cafe was a fantastic place to eat in New Braunfels…read more Of the food I sampled: Onion rings (10/10): My favorite onion rings I've had. Massive, masterfully crunchy, and the onion wasn't overpowering in flavor. Salmon eggs Benedict (9/10): very savory with the hollandaise sauce, poached egg was perfect, the accompanying fried greens were also fantastic. Grilled banana bread (9/10): A very strong signature item, perfect level of sweetness Chicken fried steak (8/10): standard but strong option Fried zucchini (7/10): probably some of the better I've had but there's a bit of a cap to how good these can be. Biscuits (5/10): These were akin to store bought quality, not bad, but not impressive The general ambiance of the location was quite nice, had a bit of an over decorated aesthetic and rather nice tables. The service was traditional southern service, very polite and attentive, not much to improve on. 14/15 Ultimately a pretty darn good but rather expensive as a casual brunch option, but I believe the quality ultimately makes it a strong option for family gatherings.

My daughter & I ordered the scallops, and because the menu specified U10 scallops I thought they would be the large ones. They were almost the size of a half-dollar and there were 3, for $37. The dish was weird with split pea puree in risotto and English peas on top. The scallops tasted fishy and were tough. It was disappointing. I wish I had ordered the cheeseburger. My husband ordered the pork dish and it was really good, but the potatoes were undercooked. I think the idea of the Indian influence is fun, but the execution needs a little more attention for the price point. Our tab for 3 meals, a salad, Brussels sprout appetizer and 2 beverages was $190 with 20% tip.

Known for their Chicken & Waffles something that I had my first experience with in Los Angeles, Mr. C's serves a great breakfast spread and lunch/dinner is quite extensive as well.

Ordered the Soul Rolls and just WOW. A egg roll type wrap filled with seasoned ground beef, greens and Mac N Cheese. With Brown Gravy. MMM. Could be a meal by itself. Friend ordered Fried Green tomatoes. No complaints from him. Perused the menu with the Wednesday special being Meatloaf, 2 sides and a drink. ($11.99). I ordered meatloaf was delightful dense meat... not many fillers smothered in brown gravy. A side of Mac N Cheese and Okra.. SO MUCH TO EAT. Friends got the Swai fish with Yams and Green beans. Second friend had Catfish with cabbage and okra. They both loved their individual plates, had enough to create a to go plate for later. And don't get me started on the Banana Puddig for all 3 of us. MMM. Support this business. They do Soul cooking excellence.

If you're looking for great BBQ near Randolph, Purple Pig BBQ in Schertz is definitely worth a…read morevisit. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with purple accents and purple pig décor throughout, giving it a unique personality. They also play throwback old-school music, which adds to the cool vibe. One thing that really stands out is the owners. They're incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to offer recommendations if you're having trouble deciding what to order. They also offer a military discount, which is always appreciated. I ordered the Texas-sized loaded baked potato topped with brisket, cheese, green onions, and their sweet BBQ sauce. It was absolutely delicious and loaded with flavor. My husband always goes for the brisket plate with a side of mac and cheese, and it's his favorite meal every time we visit. I also tried the cream corn, which was different from any I've had before. It had a peppery kick that gave it a unique flavor. To drink, we shared their homemade grape lemonade. While it wasn't very lemonade-forward, it instantly reminded us of those grape Pixy Stix from back in the day, bringing back a fun dose of nostalgia. Great food, friendly owners, a welcoming atmosphere, and solid portions make Purple Pig BBQ a place we'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the Schertz area!

The theme, "Purple Pig" is genius. The people working here are really nice…read more The ambience is okay. Old school music was good but the volume was too much to bear. How can you relax and have a conversation with your friends or a date if you can't hear yourselves think? The service is nonexistent and that's fine because it's your basic fast food concept. Not a problem. However, the food is more industrial based than true Texas BBQ. My brisket was very dry. They slather a lot of BBQ sauce on top of your meat. Why? Because the meat is either old or dry or both. Mine was very dry. The beans were drenched in sugar. The Mac and Cheese lacked (cheese) taste. We love good BBQ. This is not good BBQ. Compare to the Burnt Bean in Sequin and you will understand. The burnt bean runs out of product leaving long lines for their food; it's real BBQ, fresh homemade food. You can taste it.
