Disgusting delivery.

DoorDash order. Disgusting food delivered. Burnt onion rings. Buffalo tender floating in greasy sauce. Ordered kids meal and the stuffed the greasy tots in the Sam's container as the burger. Missed multiple items from the order.

I really wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't what we expected. It is a very casual place and we liked that aspect of it. The staff was patient, friendly, and we have no complaints customer service wise. I asked about their fried items and they fry EVERYTHING in the same oil. That meant that I couldn't eat any of the fried items due to cross contamination. My girls love Mac n Cheese and this one just didn't deliver. They said it was a bit spicy. My husband got the patty stuffed with jalapeños and he also stated that it just wasn't what he expected. The GF burger tasted good, but not being able to have any sides with it was just disappointing. I wish I would have taken a picture, but I didn't, of how my husband brought our food to the table. They place it in a big round serving tray. If it was just me and my girls, there would be no way we could have transported that to our table. So, if you have any problems with balance/coordination I hope they have someone that can assist you. If you are a germaphobe or anything close to it this is not the place for you! I am sure this is a great place for some, but it just wasn't for us.

I started to feel sick after my third or fourth bite. I couldn't finish and ran to the bathroom. I will not recommend. Everything was soggy and full of grease.

Interior rustic barn like design
Dee Ann M.

Great burger place! I loved the vibe when I walked in. The decor is like rustic barn with lots of funny signs & extras in the decor (longhorn stars hanging from the ceiling & dinosaurs on top of the longhorn horns). Once you enter the door, walk straight in line to the menu to order. I didn't notice if they had a QR code or paper menu to order so I imagine it can get kind of crowded in the little corner of you are trying to look at the menu while others are ready to order. We ordered 2 combo sandwiches-one was the chicken fried steak sandwich with tator tots and the other the jalopeno cheeseburger with onion rings. We added an appetizer of mushrooms and luckily the attendant asked if we wanted a full or half order. We got the half order. There is a sign on the register that shows all that comes on your burgers so have them remove what we don't want. I got a side of gravy (which ended up being a huge bowl) for my chicken fried steak burger and 2 sides of ranch. I should have ordered more on the ranch as these are pretty small. Texas tea is a must have for me and I always go 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweetened. The sweet tea wasn't as sweet as some places but it still delivered. We opted for our appetizer first and boy those mushrooms were HOT. I had to cut them in half and wait for them to cool down for a few minutes. Please be careful as the juices from these huge mushrooms can really burn your mouth. The mushrooms were very tasty and the batter was nice and crisp. We definitely enjoyed them. The chicken fried steak burger was very good. It had a nice crunch from the batter and it was delicious dipped in the gravy. The tots were nice and crispy. The jalopeno cheeseburger was really good. There were plenty of chopped jalapeños and it was super flavorful. Delicious buns on both sandwiches. Our food was definitely not greasy and everything was fried to perfection. The onion rings were double onions and then fried in a light but crispy batter. The ranch complemented the mushrooms and rings very well. This is a self service kind of place. You grab your food from the counter when they call your name, you get your own silverware and drinks but you do leave your trash on your table for an attendant to come and clean. They do have a party room and outdoor seating as well. There were a few arcade style games in the corner. Overall this was a very chill and tasty burger place. In our growing world of chain fast foods, I am happy that there are still wonderful places like this to go to. I feel like there is more love in the local food rather than the fast food chain. We thought it was great.

The big juicy

The staff was funny and quick! The food was DELICIOUS! We had such a great time here, the vibes were immaculate! Loved the sweet potato fries and tots as well. Fried pickles were also crispy!

Big Juicy Burger combo for #saburgerweek
Alana F.

Made to order, juicy burger with onion rings and a Coke to wash it down. First stop for burger week! Clean establishment and easy to locate on the burger app.

We've been coming to longhorn since the Blanco location in SA. This particular location we have been to a handful times over the last few years and I've always enjoyed the cleanliness and continued freshness of food This trip, they really missed the mark. Floors were filthy, we had to walk to the very back corner, and my husband is disabled, just to get a wiped clean booth. All the other booths had food or were dirty and needed to be wiped even though there were only a couple of customers. Many of the condiment containers we saw were too gross to use. Our table didn't even have one. Even the windows and art on the walls had food and filth on them. The bathroom left little to be desired as well with stained and dirty sink, items on the floor and broken soap dispenser. And then there's the food. All I can say was my red soda was the highlight of my meal. The burgers used to be fat fresh and juicy with loads of fresh lettuce and toppings almost too big to hold. This one I feel like I could've gotten at a Burger King. Top it all off with less than enthused employees and thinking we won't be back.

Beyond mid. Order as takeout which could have impacted the taste. 85 character minimum for a review is wild.

Everything was fresh and cooked to order. Cashier was friendly and knowledgeable. Seemed like she'd been doing her job well for a while.

I buzzed through the neighborhood next door, turned around, and promised not to pass it again. The inside was apparently just redone. The two kids working were super kind and patient with my multiple orders as I became increasingly smitten with this place. I started with carrot cake and a Grapefruit Rambler sparkling water. The perfect snack. Sweet and just the right amount of frosting. I went back to order a turkey and havarti wrap with a side of pasta salad. It was plenty big and very fresh. A perfect healthy dinner for my flight home. I also got a thumbprint cookie which tasted like vegan short bread. Minesh, the new owner, came out to talk with me and he was so honest and welcoming about his efforts to make this cafe a success. I gathered it was his kids who were working. Truly a lovely place. I can't recommend it enough and hope I get the chance to go back some day if I ever find myself in Gruene again.

It was well worth a little scenic drive and the knowledge of the whereabouts. We will definitely be eating out there soon as they are open again.

We had a sticker price shock... $15 Launch Fee $10 additional car parking We weren't going to shop around, we are here and we are going to get on the water NOW! Lol. Well, come to find out, there really isn't much of a choice on this lake so just come prepared. Plus there is a lock box for overnight or early launches. If you are going to be gone on the water for the weekend, the charge is per day. The boat ramp itself and dock are great. The older lady at the counter that helped us both before the launch and afterwards with our burger order was really nice and helpful. Huge indoor patio with huge fans plus a nice outdoor patio surrounded by tropical plants. I could see this being a great place to enjoy a band on Sat nights. Red's does not have gas (although sign says they do) but we were told the marina down the street does. We didn't need it right then but was checking for the future. We made a note to always pre-purchase gas... in Hondo, Castroville, or Lakehills coming from the other direction about 10 miles as there aren't any stations around in the country roads that we traveled on getting there. I would suggest getting their to Red's early as parking is limited. We were there on Sat 31 Mar about 2pm and it was already packed. I can't imagine what it's like in the summer time. I'm sure we'll be back again as soon as we have a free weekend. Happy Boating!

What an absolute hidden gem in Lockhart!…read more The chicken and waffles were AMAZING! The waffles were beautifully golden on the outside while remaining perfectly soft and fluffy inside. And the chicken? Oh my goodness! It reminded me of Mexican chicken milanesa, with that deliciously crispy, crunchy coating that makes every bite so satisfying! Paired with their homemade white cream (which I made sure not a drop went to waste! ) and a drizzle of syrup, it was the perfect combination! Their coffee was delicious as well! My daughter ordered the strawberry shortcake waffles but was so intrigued by my chicken and waffles that she asked for a half side of chicken to try it herself. She had never experienced the combination before, and needless to say, she LOVED it! My boyfriend ordered a burger, and let me tell you, I glanced over a few times, and by the third look, that burger had completely disappeared! Safe to say he enjoyed every bite! My daughter's best friend went with sunny-side-up eggs, a protein, and fresh fruit in place of potatoes. There was truly a little something for everyone! And the hospitality? Just as wonderful as the food! Amanda was an absolute sweetheart. She was incredibly attentive, warm, and welcoming, making us feel right at home. It's not often you come across a place where both the food AND the service leave such a lasting impression. This little hole-in-the-wall is absolutely worth visiting! Whether you're local or just passing through Lockhart, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't be disappointed! We will DEFINITELY be back!

The inside is quite small, but very attractively remodeled in a historic building right in the center of Martindale. I had the Brisket Burger which apparently featured BBQ brisket from one of the famed Lockhart pit masters. It looked exactly like a hamburger, but was better than the best hamburger I ever ate--which is saying a lot since I am pretty long in the tooth. I am uploading a photo of its cross-section. My wife had the Chicken Banhmi. It was a bit too spicy for her, but the bite I had tasted pretty good. All-in-all, this might be the "jewel of Martindale" and close enough to Austin to justify a trip out for some variety. Traffic and parking were not a problem. While you're in the area, take the road down the steep embankment and across a wood bridge over the pristine San Marcos River. The sign says "Private," but that should be read as "dead-end" rather than "don't try this." It's right down the street from the restaurant.
