    Great venue for live music. Well organized with many table options. Sound system is good. Although we didn't eat tonight, the menu has plenty of options that look really good!! We're looking forward to trying their expanded menu! Table service during the show is a little bit of miss, but our server is friendly.

    Fried Ocra

    Food was amazing. Everything was delicious. We are going back for more! Thank you. I came to Yelp to look for reviews of this place before coming and seemed weary of certain foods. Boy were they wrong! The beignets were not dry they were perfectly delicious. The Vegas Chicken Sandwich was so huge and flavorful. The fried ocra, fried green tomatoes were delicious. My kiddos loved the chicken strips and the grilled cheese they want me to order it everyday now. And they are on DoorDash! Our new favorite place to eat.

    The way they incorporate the goats into the restaurant is very fun. We have a great time outside of the restaurant. Inside it was a nightmare we had to first wait an hour to be seated. Wait an hour for our food. On top of that the food was awful. Our waitress wouldn't give us the time of day. The only good is that the manager came and didn't make us pay $40 for simple dishes that didn't taste great. Because of that manager I will give this place another try sometime soon.

    Saturday morning brunch with the family! The parking lot was packed but, that made no difference as we were seated immediately... our choice inside or outside. It was still nice out around noon so we opted for outside, which was pleasant enough. They have lots of shade from trees and umbrellas, though some tables are still out in the sun. Our server was great very patient and also very helpful, we all ordered refresher beverages which were very good but expensive! We ordered a mix of brunch and lunch and everything was very good. I had the French toast and it was one of the best I've had in the area. Although it wasn't the largest plate full of food, I was very happy with it and satisfied once I finished my meal. They have lots of different drinks and a variety of dishes on the menu. The easy listening jazz band they had was perfect! The flies weren't to terrible but just enough to be annoying, time for some well placed oscillating fans or table fans.

    The atmosphere alone makes it worth the visit...live music playing, a relaxed outdoor vibe, and even the chance to feed goats, which my family absolutely loved. The Billy Melt Grilled Cheese was a perfect melt with just the right spice, and the fries are some of my new favorites (crispy and cooked just right). We also tried the Chicken Iceberg Wedge (definitely for bleu cheese fans), which was really good and well-balanced.

    Awesome spot. I typically go every other week when I'm in the area. Really good food. Awesome staff. It's just an awesome place to be to wind down and relax. I probably would be there everyday if I lived close by. Absolutely worth the drive. Great for families or even a date or hanging with friends. Go check them out.

    My first visit to Screaming goat Yard was with friends for brunch. They do not take reservations but we were lucky and arrived early enough that we had plenty of seating options. We grabbed a table inside and started with mimosa batches. Once we ordered food. It arrived at the table in a timely manner, and I was pleasantly surprised for the food to be as amazing as it was the fried green tomatoes were to die for, it was my first time trying cheese curds they tasted great to me, and all of the other bites that we shared were plentiful and flavorful. The inside area is super cool with a rustic country vibe there's tons of seating outside and a stage for music although there was none at the time we were there and the best part is once your belly is full, you get to go enjoy the goats and even feed them. Although it's a bit of a drive, it's a fun experience with great food and drinks.

    We went on trivia night on St. Patrick's Day and had a great time! I had the crawfish platter and it was so delicious! The fried shrimp was flavorful as well. The drinks were refreshing and went down smooth! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was a lot of fun!

    Screaming Goat is a rustic casual place near 1863 and Spring Branch. There's live music most nights. With both indoor & outdoor seating. I ordered a Blue Cheese Burger which tastes great. It's even better with a pint to wash it all down. The staff are friendly and pets are welcomed. As Always - Eat In Good Health!

    Very good Cajun chicken

    We were here just after they opened about 5 years ago. It was a limited small menu, some bar food, and a few drink options. They have come a long way in 5 years! Huge menu, extensive beer and drink choices, much more seating both inside and out, and goats (!) Our server Emma had only been here a few days. We had questions and she got answers quickly. Since this wasn't her first stint as a server, I do hope it's her last! Meaning ... I would like to have her serve us every time we return, which will be regularly! We both ordered the daily special ($12) and received an excellent Cajun chicken breast, garlic toast, mashed potatoes and a small salad. It was great. The interior is welcoming and not loud. The outside will be really good in our normal warmer weather.

    Red beans and rice

    Well my better half had a new years surprise and it was to take us here for our last dinner of 2025. And it was so much fun. The live music was great. The interior was so much fun, my kids could not understand how I knew everything about the country music artists in the walls. Our server took fantastic care of us. Our food was delicious. And it was even good for left overs. I had never had a chance to have crawfish etoufee before and wow. Such a fun vibe, good for a family dinner, just going out with friends or a date. And don't forget to say hi to the goats.

    We have an amazing time at the screaming goat yard and tap for their New Year's Eve celebration. The fire and heart tribute band was awesome, outdoor seating was perfect because they had heaters and the food was delicious, especially the boudin balls! Such a beautiful location and especially love seeing all the cute goats you get to feed. We will definitely be coming back here!

    Great options on tap

    I absolutely love this place! If you've ever gotten the impression that most of the good ol' rural, small towns in Texas are half dead these days, coming here will dispel the myth. Spring Branch is vibrant and happenin', and this place is one of the proof points. I live 90 minutes from here, relatively close to Austin, and I'm already planning my next trip back because I now want to share it with a few more people. I love everything about this place - - The creole cuisine, the eclectic decor, the indoor and outdoor stages for live music, the bar featuring amazing beers and endless liquor options, the friendly staff, the local vibe, and yes, even goats, who are always happy for you to pet or feed them. There was a Sunday brunch going on that looked great (including jambolaya). But we'd already had breakfast, so we ordered from the menu. We tried the crawfish ettouffee, fried green tomato BLT, and (nicely spicy) meat pies. Each dish was great. And while we ate, we were serenaded by an amazing singer/writer/guitarist. Looking forward to our next experienxe here!

When we were checking out different suppliers for catering drinks at her wedding, we found out several things. Those included limited selection of companies in the area, prices ranging from low to exorbitant, and much difference in how those different companies interacted with us and our questions. Bourbon and Branch was the hands down winner. They were not the cheapest, but they were very willing to work with us. On the day of the wedding, they came early for set up. They interacted with all of the wedding party and gave everyone a "warm fuzzy feeling" which put the moms at ease. The actual bartender was a hit. She was funny, efficient, friendly, and kept the drinks flowing smoothly. Will I return? I don't have any more kids to marry off but based on my experience with them, I will definitely try their bar. If you have a wedding planned and are in need of bartender services, I recommend you give this business an opportunity for your most important date.

It has a classy, tasteful speakeasy vibe without feeling overdone or pretentious. They also have a private room that would be great for a special group gathering or a more intimate celebration. The grand piano in the room adds a really elegant touch and makes the space feel even more elevated. We went on a Monday night, so it's hard to say what the normal energy is like on a busier evening, but the overall atmosphere was still very pleasant. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis. We were hoping for something a little more unique or original, maybe a twist on a Sidecar or an elevated take on a classic Old Fashioned. That said, it's still a beautiful spot with great ambience, pleasant service, and a very nice overall feel. I would definitely go back, especially on a busier night to see the full vibe.

Our favorites are the wings (they are the best wings I've had), fries with dill ranch, the orzo pasta salad, fig and prosciutto flatbread and their caviar tater tots! I love how they have options for everyone and how everything is so fresh!! Atmosphere: may be my favorite part and here's why. Inside is adults only, so perfect for date night or a night out with friends. The decor is stunning and everything is soooo thoughtfully curated. Even their bathrooms are cute! lol Then you walk outside and everything transforms into the perfect family friends atmosphere with turf, a playground, and even a little playhouse for the kids to explore. The recently fenced in their playground which I love! They have comfy seating and cozy string lights. It's literally the perfect combo or aesthetic and family friendly! They also do live music on weekends and just recently did a Bubbles & Glow Sticks event for the kids. They also have a covered cigar lounge patio with a huge tv and couches. Now onto their drinks: AMAZING! I was able to speak with their two head bartenders and you can just hear the passion. They're always adding and testing new cocktails, and they have a great wine selection. My favorite cocktail is the Cucumber Twinetini! Service has been incredible. Everyone from their waitstaff to the bartenders to the owners are so friendly and passionate. You can tell the owners take great care of them and really care. This spot is located in downtown Bulverde and is a 12 minute drive from our house near Stone Oak.

That's why this visit was so disappointing. We booked a private room for our group and paid a $50 room fee, fully expecting attentive service given the prices and the automatic 20% gratuity for a large party. Unfortunately the service fell far short of that expectation. From the beginning our server was noticeably unfriendly, and communication throughout the night was poor. Drinks took a long time to arrive and when food finally started coming out, it was extremely staggered. Two guests waited so long for their flatbreads that everyone else had already finished eating. Fries that were ordered early came out very late and cold after we had already tried to cancel them. Another uncomfortable moment came when the bill was being prepared. Instead of discreetly reviewing the check or confirming items professionally, the server went around the table asking individuals, "Were you the one with three drinks?" and "Did you have two drinks?" This felt invasive and unprofessional. In a proper serving environment especially with a large group billing should be handled discreetly, not by calling people out in front of the table. When we asked if the delayed items could be comped (at the very least the fries), the response felt dismissive and oddly transactional including repeatedly questioning whether the guest would take the fries home. At that point the issue wasn't the fries, it was the lack of accountability and basic customer service. When the owner/manager came out, instead of apologizing or acknowledging the experience we were met with excuses about staffing and being short-handed. While delays can happen, the lack of communication and the defensive tone made us feel like an inconvenience rather than paying customers. The atmosphere is lovely and the prices are high, but service and management matter just as much especially when hosting large groups. A simple apology, better communication, and more professional service would have gone a long way.
