    Flautas with rice & beans
    Barbra M.

    We stopped in after church on Sunday with a party of 9. Unfortunately we could not sit all together, but otherwise our experience was great. Service was excellent for a busy Sunday afternoon. The food came out hot and fast, and the server kept up nicely with drink refills, extra napkins, etc. My table ate flautas with rice & beans, cheeseburger (cooked well as requested) and fries, Ruben and sweet potato fries and the chicken fried chicken sandwich with onion rings. Everyone enjoyed their meal, although the chicken fried chicken sandwich with gravy was a little messy. We probably will not order it as a sandwich next time - but the quality and taste of the sandwich was good. I enjoyed my Ruben and sweet potato fries. It had a generous portion of meat, which was tender. The sweet potato fries were nicely crispy on the outside, but not hard. And, of course, I am always happy when I can get Diet Dr Pepper with my meal!

    We ended up at Pat's Place when the original Sunday brunch restaurant we had planned had too long of a wait for our schedule. Pats place was perfect. There was plenty of parking and it was not busy when we arrived shortly after opening (although it was much busier by the time we left). We were seated promptly and service was friendly and efficient. We all liked our food-it reminded me of "home cooking"! I especially liked my bacon and biscuit in the All American. My son said his club was "like clubs should be made-with all the expected layers".

    Chicken fried steak, mash, okra, toast

    1st time at Pats Place. THE BEST chicken fried steak, gravy, mashed potatoes, fried okra I have EVER HAD, hands down! Huge steak at least 2x thicker than average anywhere else covered in crispy seasoned breading, delicious homemade mashed potatoes, pepper gravy AND biggest pieces of okra I've ever seen served!!! Enough of everything to split and still fill up. I'll be back!!! $16.59

    Chicken and waffles

    Brunch here does not disappoint! I had a coffee with cream! Yummy and ordered the spicy chicken and waffles - so good!

    Top of the morning to ya!!!

    Love this restaurant, but watch your step. Had the chicken and biscuit with spicy honey. Homey feel and discount for cash! Waitress was amazing and host was super sweet! Bar was fast , although it was 11 am!

    Good food! Good sized hamburger steak with good tasting gravy, fried onions on top and mashed potato. It took some time to get it but I guess it is because I came on a busy Friday lunch when many locals frequent the place. It is a local favorite for casual dining. Good service by staff!

    Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs
    Rachelle M.

    My family and I have always passed by this place and wanted to try it out just from the smell off the street. They have a pretty big regular menu, but we each decided to try something off their brunch menu: the Classic All American, Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs, and Pastrami Hash. Everything came out steaming hot and fresh, and the plates were big. We also loved the small town diner feel of the inside.

    Classic Lasagna

    It was a cute little restaurant really close to the Tubing locations. Service was relatively fast! Heads up that most of the places in this location charge a credit card fee. The food was decently good! It was be the standard place for the price. It wasn't the best lasagna I've had- it was mostly meat sauce on top instead of it baked into the lasagna. But, I'll take it!

    burned food. the little brown balls on the fish are HARD but you can still see see the raw fish inside.

    I was there this evening for the catfish... and left filled with nothing but regret. The two of us ordered the all you can eat catfish after some fried cheese (which was impeccable!) but when the meal arrived, the positive experience left. I'm not sure if the oil was too hot or if of needed to be changed, but the fish was cooked so hard that the outside was near impossible to bite through while the catfish was still uncooked inside. So uncooked that the catfish skin was like a rubber band. The hushpuppies were crispy outside but raw dough in the middle. I enjoyed the coleslaw, so there's that. We both ate half of one piece each and when the server came back and asked if we wanted more we said no, that we didn't like it. I showed our server the uncooked fish with rubbery skin and dough hushpuppies". The response was "yeah- it's been hit or miss all day". We clearly did not eat the meal and when the server returned with the bill, we were handed a pass for a free appetizer each and were told "I couldn't discount it because it was already discounted", not that I asked for a discount but it would seem a manager perhaps should have come over to speak with us. In fact, THAT would have prevented me from writing this review. So after spending $50 (yes, I still tipped), we left with a few cheese sticks in our bellies and went to Domino's. We won't be going back. But it doesn't seem like that's a concern to y'all. **NOTE: I posted this review on their FB page- they left a snarky response, then deleted my review and blocked me.

    Cheese Enchiladas
    Ricky R.

    On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I had some good friends come into town for a visit. With them being our guests, we asked where they wanted to go for lunch. Pat's it is.... I am a long time resident in New Braunfels, and this is my second visit, and the first under the new owners. Our first visit was average, with their burgers being decent. We all walked in and were seated promptly with menus and silverware. Our waitress was not far behind, and took our drink order. While she was off to get our drinks, we all perused the menu. Not in the mood for a burger, I was looking for something else. I remember recently seeing on social media folks looking for good cheese enchiladas, and Pat's got a lot of mentions. Intrigued, I would give them a try. In good time, the waitress returned with our drinks. The drinks come in these mini mason jars, and for the sweet tea drinkers, a small picture. Nice. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. The wife and my friends got burgers. As a bonus, anyone who orders Mexican dishes gets free chips and salsa. You are welcome wife and friends! The waitress returned shortly, after turning our order in, with chips and salsa in hand. Generally, the chips and salsa will set the tone for a Mexican dish. If they are good, the food will too. The chips and salsa were delicious. All looking good so far. We continued catching up on old times back in Houston. In average time, the food arrived. The burgers looked good, but my enchiladas looked better. I wasted no time and jumped right into mine. The enchiladas were really good. Much better than what I expected. Social media claims were validated for sure. The cheese was gooey, the chili sauce was tasty, and the rice and beans were delicious. I scarfed mine down. The wife loved her burger, and my friends enjoyed theirs too. We paid the bill and were out the door. What a great Sunday with great fellowship with friends, a beautiful day outside, and excellent food. When I return, the enchiladas will be my go to now. If you are in the area, stop by and give them a try. This New Braunfels has jewel has been around for a long time, so there is good reason why. Highly recommend and will be back. Enjoy!

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.

The food they brought out tonight was a mixture of cold food and hot food that they informed us was missing a few ingredients so they just gave it to us without them and took 45 minutes to get to us.

The sweet gal taking the orders also said that they would bring it out when it was ready, but we waited a solid 30 minutes and decided to ask. I think they just forgot our order of chips and queso and fried pickles. Besides that, the experience was great. Their chips are great (I love the thicker tortilla chips!) and have a more solid crunch to them. The queso is on the lighter and thinner consistency side, which is always a refreshing texture. They definitely use a lighter cheese instead of a dark cheddar, as shown through the color of the queso. It's got a great flavor to it too without having any extra add-ins. A nice traditional queso! The fried pickles were average, but my bf is obsessed with pickles...so that was his impulse buy. Not sure if I would say this is a steady food truck that I would come back to outside of the brewery, but I'm glad it's at Guadalupe! Good choice for snacks and probably their po boys!

And yet, I keep coming back and eating more burgers - that's how good they are. The Big Juicy is a classic and you can dress it up however you wish. I love how my tator tots and fried okra are always served piping hot, like they just came out of the fryer and they haven't been sitting under a heat lamp in the back of the kitchen. And they are always so crispy - I assume they change the fryer oil frequently or they must clean it really well. I have a bone to pick with their chicken fried steak. In the land of great CFS, they shouldn't serve one that had been in the freezer a few moments earlier. In this part of the country, it's hand-breaded or nothing. Having said that, it's not bad, just not as good as it could or should be. Their club sandwich reminds me of one my grandmother used to make for me when I was a kid - perfectly toasted bread and no scrimping on the meat and cheese. Longhorn Café is more or less high quality fast food, but don't expect super quick service. Sometimes it can take 10 minutes for your order to come out.
