Lunch today at The Dam Grill was especially memorable and satisfying…read more It began with an experience that speaks to the true greatness of America. An elderly, mobility challenged couple parked at the front of the restaurant. The wait staff rushed out and assisted them to a table. Don and Barbara are regulars...I talked to them a bit on my way out. The care I saw happen there talks about the heart of America. It's not the politicians that make this country great...It's the people! It's service like this, that goes above and beyond. It's small, neighborly businesses where the customers become family. It's GOOD people that make this country great. ...And good food only makes it that much better! My meal choice for today was the large Chicken Fried Steak, with green beans, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, roll and sweet tea...your quintessential, thoroughly satisfying, Texas style comfort food. The steak portion was BIG! Big enough that I have AT LEAST one more fine meal coming from the leftovers. The mashed potatoes were smooth, drenched in a generous portion of delightful cream gravy. The DG style green beans are unique and were delicious. The roll was fresh and melt in your mouth good. As for the sweet tea... Well... Let's just say that it was just right! The smoke free restaurant is clean and spacious with plenty of seating. The friendly wait staff stays on the move attending to customer's cups of tea, coffee and sodas. The kitchen gets meals out quickly. The table bussers are meticulous and quiet. Outside, the parking lot has plenty of handicapped access spaces and free general parking galore...with lot's of room for rancher's truck's and trailers. I only have one complaint. In my book, breakfasts like theirs should be available all day long. LOL. Dang good stuff! Friday night is all you can eat catfish. When I want catfish, this is my goto. The fish is tender, succulent fillets and the beans and hush puppies are to die for. If You want a truly satisfying meal at a price that won't break your wallet, the The Dam Grill is right where you need to be. Just sayin'.

We drive from Georgetown, TX as often as possible just for the catfish on Fridays. Even when they are extremely busy, the waitstaff will get to you promptly. They have a wonderful group of ladies that work there, and they are so kind and helpful. I will give them five stars every time we eat there. Betty Marks, Georgetown, TX

We took a drive out to Kingsland based off a recommendation to check out Junction Prime (for a…read morebirthday) and am happy to report it was a wonderful experience. Nestled in a rather striking building, what awaited us was a wonderfully moody interior with large booths. Lots of tasteful touches and theming with a retro flair. We started with the bread (which was huge) and came with butter and roasted garlic bulbs. Also ordered the Caesar salad which was garlicky and improved with the grilled lemons and the calamari- Which tasted awesome with the aioli. Presentation was immaculate and the servers and restaurant managers were on point! They offered pleasant chat and stories. For entrees we got ribeyes (16oz!) Which was offered cut, Peter Luger style and split it. We ordered a ton of sides, and they were excellent. My favorites were the amazing truffle fries (generously thick cut, crispy) and the beets & cream (sweet and acidic) which complimented the steaks really well. The Brussels sprouts were excellent as well, not too sweet and roasted perfect. For the birthday the managers brought us complimentary desserts and a signed card which was a nice touch. Its not a cheap steakhouse by any means, but on average with any other steakhouse in this day and age. I do like that they do some things differently though and offered their own personal touches though, it stood out. Will definitely be back. We loved our time there, would highly recommend.

There is a food counter where you order sodas and food and a bar counter where you order all your alcoholic bevs. We've been coming here for years and have tried many things on the menu. We landed on 2-3 fave things we get every time. The order is never incorrect and there are no misses with the meals they turn out. Love their consistency. Recently we were turned on to the shrimp basket...so yummy! The pics of our baskets didn't do the size of the shrimp justice, so had to take one of our take home box. They are HUGE butterflied shrimp with a nice, light batter. Not a fan of their tartar sauce, but other than that, so yummy. My shrimp basket was on a bed of fries and my husband substituted onion rings for his fries. You can sub any sides. It's a hot spot for locals and visitors!

Smoking is allowed at the bar. 4 oerson tables are far enough away that this has minimal impact on the dining experience. Food wise: I had the Two-fer shrimp and catfish baskets. First impression was that they were overdone. Not so. Both items were just right, crispy outside, tender and moist inside. Fries were a little dry, but then again, I like mine a little greasy. Sweet tea was goid, not too much or too little sweetness. Prices are a little on the high side of moderate. Portions are good. Service was good. Bottom line, I'll visit again.

Despite the circulation equipment I noticed, the venue is too small to accommodate both smokers and…read morediners (IMHO) - there's no getting away from the smoke, so if you're not a smoker, you won't be pleased. Since area diners (the Dam Grill, Crazy Gals) stop serving breakfast long before lunch (10:30 really?!) we were excited about the prospect of "breakfast all day " but the Big Easy offers wraps and sandwiches, no traditional eggs, toast & bacon plates or other breakfast selections. I had the chorizo wrap and my husband had the sausage wrap. I think they used a canned chile base for the chorizo, which I dig in a frito pie, but its prominence over other ingredients (egg, cheese and chorizo), was disappointing. My husband's egg's were burnt prompting him to observe that the food wasn't good enough to waste an appetite on. There are two separate buildings in the "L" of which is a small outdoor space featuring a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs and some other seating. The second building's interior perimeter is lined with arcade games and the kitchen is in the back corner. The potential for fun exists here, if you're a smoker. Neither building has the ceiling height or square footage to create "smoking areas" so it's a "feature" that can't be ignored. They advertise a Karaoke night and live music though where either would take place is cause for wonder because "intimate" is an apropos term to describe the place (inside or out).
