The staff were very friendly so no issues there. We went in on a Friday at 6:00 pm and were the only ones dining. Shortly after one other couple came in. Not sure if it's this dead because summer is over or because it was a hot day but we were surprised how empty it was for a Friday evening. The menu itself isn't bad. No appetizers on the menu but a decent selection of entrees so no issues there. I order the NY strip with grilled Brussel sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes. I'll start with the positive - the steak was ordered medium-rare and it was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, there was just very very little flavor or seasoning to the steak - it wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again. The Brussel sprouts were huge - and I expected they would be 'hard' in the center (as often happens with larger Brussel sprouts) but I was pleasantly surprised that they were perfectly cooked and tender. Unfortunately they were also very under seasoned. One of them had an oil or seasoning on it and it was delicious but the rest had none and lacked flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were the highlight! Potato skins in them; nice rich and smooth texture and perfectly flavored. Best part of the meal! We also tried the steak tacos which had thin strips of steak in corn tortillas with corn, a sauce and cilantro and came with black beans and rice. The strips of steak were excellent - slightly charred (perfectly) on the outside and flavorful. The sauce had a wonderful flavor to it. The tortillas were very soft and moist. The tacos were very good. The black beans were black beans and the rice was rice - neither were bad and neither were great - no special flavor. Would we come back? If we were staying at the property again we might go back. The convenience is their main selling point. That said, Main Street in Fredericksburg with literally dozens of restaurants is only 3 minutes away. If The Club could 'up' their seasoning, they would certainly be worthy of 4 stars.

I read someone else's review stating that the crust does not stay attached to the meat. I thought it might've been a one time thing... It wasn't.... The crust disconnects like a sock coming off a foot. Work on this. This is not right. The crust needs to be integrated into the meat. It's not supposed to be a sleeve fitting over the meat. It's not a jacket that the meat takes off once it sits down on the plate. And the meat is not tender. There's ligaments, veins, or whatever these little hard to cut stringy things holding the meat together are. There's too much trouble/shooting necessary on the CFS at Hondo's. Get the Cheeseburger instead.

I had never heard of this one and apparently, it's a thing and this thing is one with my fave... Liquor 43. I said "great, I do liquor 43 with my carajillos." I gave it a try and was sold. It was like a vanilla latte. Another positive besides fun people and great service, is the fact they do live music Thursday through Sunday. The bartendar who helped me both times was Zane, and this guy knows what he's doing. He's the guy who will help you with any questions or recommendations. This one is definitely worth going off the beaten path, and I will return soon.

Remember to tip your bartender!!!!

Went here to celebrate hubbys birthday. It was a very disappointing experience. Our waitress was…read morepolite and sparse but not friendly and talkative like the other waitresses around us. First course was crab lobster cakes. They looked over cooked but tasted pretty good. Next I had the French onion soup. It smelled of burnt cheese when they put it in front of me. But once I got passed that, the souo was good. Hubby enjoyed his cesar salad. I ordered surf and turf with risoto and broccolini. The bacon wrapped shrimp was also very charred and steak was very very salty. It was however cooked to order. If you like a lot of salt then you may like it. The risoto and broccolini were good. Hubbys rib eye was rare (mooing) just like he likes it. He enjoyed the seasonal vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. Desert is made to order so it took about 30 minutes after order to get it. But it was worth it! The wild blueberry pie was the best part of the meal. It was a large handpie stuffed with these flavorful wild blueberries and ice cream on the side. We were full but managed to eat the whole thing! 8'oclock is when the music starts in the saloon. If you want a nice quiet romantic dinner then definitely go before 8. The music was very loud. In the saloon it was way too loud so we didn't stay for the band.

We arrived with a group of 9 on a Saturday night. We got there at 7pm and couldn't seat us until…read more930pm. But they said we could go in the bar and wait and as we did a table opened up that we all fit on which was awesome! The bar area was just like you'd expect to see in Texas. Cowboy hats, wooden floors to dance on. The music they were playing was a mix of old school 90s and 2000s which I appreciated! We ordered our food which took about 50 min to come out! Thankfully we were all enjoying the vibe that it distracted us from how long we had to wait. Even for a 9 top on a Saturday night, almost an hour seems still too long. I asked if they could take the batter off my chicken fried steak but they told me no that's essentially a steak and I'd have to pay full price for a steak which was upwards of over $50. Which was silly to me. My stomach doesn't do well with a lot of fried but the mashed potatoes and homemade gravy for the fried steak and veggies that came with the chicken fried steak sounded good so I wanted that versus a regular steak. And after I ate it I instantly regretted it about 30 min later bc although it was yummy at the time, boy did it do a number on my tummy. Just heavy. So wish they'd made that accommodation for me instead of trying to nickel and dime me. But the live music and dancing that followed helped me take my mind off it (and the sweet bartender who gave me warm lemon water for my stomach). The band was awesome and they played top 40 hits. The crowd was friendly and had a great night singing and dancing celebrating my sweet friends birthday. Such a great atmosphere and would love to bring people there and do it again. Maybe next time, I'll just order chicken ;)

Hmm. This is just an outdoor concert venue. The theme here is disorganization and chaos. Parking…read moreis on the grass but is uneven enough to be prohibitive for anything other than SUVs and trucks. If you drive a car, forget it. The lines to get in were ridiculously long and slow moving. There were three entry "lanes", none of which was marked. Like stupid lemmings everyone gets into the longest line. We got checked in but did not receive appropriate wrist bands for our seating area. So, wifey and I had to trek back separately to get them. Signage is non-existent. Staff are unmotivated and not helpful. Seating, view and sound were actually very good. Prices for drinks are typical for such venues. For such a divey place, it was (somewhat) impressive to see actual liquor bottles. We opted for a couple of mixed drinks, which were good. Wifey had to use the outhouse, which is every woman's nightmare. No toilet paper, no paper towels. Yuck. Overall, this is on our no-fly-zone list. Unless it's a must-see artist, we'll not return.

They had live music and great food and drink options at the head cabin. Every cabin felt private and unique and the babbling creek and ponds along the Creekside were so relaxing to sit by with lots of Adirondack chairs overlooking the creek and rocking chairs on the cabin porches. We also chose this place because they allowed my Australian Shepard to come (only some cabins). The whole experience was amazing and only a 5 minute drive to the main strip. Don't miss a tour of Signor Vineyards, a 10 minute drive West. The most beautiful vineyard and cool experience!
