Oh my gosh I was so surprised, I have tasted a lot of different chicken fried steaks and Barrel House was over the top. Friendly waitstaff kept our drinks filled and checked on us.

I want to start off by saying that our server was a sweetheart and did an outstanding job. However,…read morethe kitchen needs to be whipped into shape, pronto. We (myself and 2 kids 6 & 8) came for dinner service on 11/22 at 6:15pm. We sat in the patio area, a nice venue with live music. We started off with chips and queso, and the some of the chips were stale and over seasoned and the queso was lukewarm at best. We ate 1/3 of it. We ordered our meals, both kids having the Mac and Cheese with Chicken tenders, and I ordered a ribeye medium rare, but before my server walked away, changed it to rare because I was fearful it would be overcooked. My steak came with a loaded baked potato (undercooked and pretty hard to eat) as well as a house salad that showed up when my steak arrived. I don't know about you, but I prefer not to eat my salad while my steak gets cold. It should have come prior to my entree. When my steak arrived, it was cooked med-medium well. I sent it back. While waiting for my 2nd steak to come out, my daughter complained that her Mac and Cheese was spicy. I tasted it and it was. It was on the kids menu, so that was confusing. The chicken tenders were so over cooked, my kids didn't even eat them. I didn't even mention it to our server at this point, because she was super sweet and accommodating, and I felt bad for her. We just wanted to pay the check and get the hell out of there. Our tab came to $83 dollars and I left her a $40 tip because I felt sorry that she had to defend such a total miss by the kitchen. Super disappointing experience. Do better, back of house. You owe it to the people that sign your paycheck and the front of house team that has to defend your food.

Motorcycle parking right up front, great views from the covered patio area in the back, and ice cold beer. They also have TV's, a pool table or two, lots of bar seating, nice restrooms and a very friendly bartender. We needed a snack and the fried mushrooms that would normally be about $11.99 at any restaurant/bar in closer to the city were priced attractively at about $6 and served piping hot. We will definitely be back on a day when we have more time to hang out and enjoy the nice weather at this cool indoor/outdoor bar.

There is indoor and outdoor seating. The burgers are soooo good and massive. They make them fresh everyday and even weigh them. So when they say 1/2 pound burger, you're getting a 1/2 pound burger. Everything is reasonably priced and just a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Mason is only about 20 miles from Brady so it's the closest place to catch a current release. They show one movie a week, typically one showing a day on Thurs-Mon. They also do some special shows and music acts when they can. You don't have to bring your own chairs anymore as there are comfortable sliding theater seats, and the AC works great on a warm Texas summer day. I saw that they want to raise money to get nice curtaining for it next, with greater ambitions leading to putting a balcony with more seating in later. Please consider giving them your support!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a step back in time--in the best way possible.

The rustic setting, unique décor, and friendly staff make it an experience--not just a stop. It's quickly become one of my favorite hidden gems in the Hill Country. Highly recommend to both locals and visitors--you won't be disappointed!

The drinks? Beer bottles and wine in solo cups. Fancy, right? Mixed drinks don't exist here--unless you count the owner mixing up his ego with basic customer service. Speaking of the owner, he thought it was appropriate to accost my mother (in her mid-60s, mind you) for not tipping. For what service? We ordered at the bar, carried our own food, poured our own drinks... What's next, we tip ourselves for breathing? Bottom line: this isn't dining, it's self-serve misery with a side of attitude. If you enjoy being disrespected in a plywood shack, congrats--you found your spot. Otherwise, run.

Great spot for drinks, country dancing, and a little pool sharking, if that's what you're into!…read more We came here for the Hunter's Ball and had a good time, but I was a little disappointed to learn that it was going to be a DJ, instead of a live band. Had some drinks, played some pool, and entered the gun raffle. They have a great dance floor, but there weren't too many single guys to dance with by 9PM...and I asked a lot of guys if they could dance, and they looked like deer in headlights...so we ended up leaving to hit another dancehall. I think there was a big group having a birthday party, so it was a lot of people, but not a lot of dancers. I'd come back here when I want to get out of my small town, but plan to stay late and see who shows up!

Latino musicnight last night was a true disappointment. Owner/DJ/@pardners stating that something…read more"isn't racist" does not negate the intent or the impact it may have had. Repeating that it wasn't racist and defending that behavior doesn't make it acceptable -- it only serves to dismiss legitimate concerns and brush them aside. By definition, racism involves treating someone unfairly, excluding, harassing, or demeaning them based on their race or ethnicity. When the DJ used the phrase "your people," it was clearly exclusionary. When he said, "If I only play Latino music, then the others will leave," it positioned our presence as a problem and created a sense of unwelcome. The situation escalated further when our group was asked to leave -- not for being disruptive, but simply for disagreeing with the music -- while the DJ referred to us as "you and your fucking people." That is not only unprofessional, but also deeply offensive and humiliating. Even your comment about "staying in your own lane" implies exclusion. Why? Because we voiced our disagreement? Because we stood up for ourselves and asked to celebrate Latino culture on a night that was specifically promoted as Latino Night? You've suggested this issue only occurred because your regular DJ wasn't present, but this behavior reflects a broader, ongoing pattern. Regardless of who was in the DJ booth, the treatment of that group was inappropriate and inexcusable. Defending it -- and attempting to shift the narrative -- is deeply disappointing. And respectfully, claiming that you used your own money to promote Latino Night in an attempt to gain sympathy is out of touch. You own a large, well-established club. Investing in the promotion of your own events is a business expense -- not a personal sacrifice. If you'r going to promote a cultural night, you have a responsibility to respect and honor the community you're representing.
