One the worst BBQ restaurants I've ever visited. My wife and I ordered 1/2 chicken, pork ribs, sausage and brisket. Our entire meal was not hot. Food should not be served at room temperature. The only item that was hot was the pinto beans. Very disappointed. Will not return nor will I recommend. Restaurant was not busy. We were the only ones there. Maybe that was a sign. Even the slice of bread that was served seemed like old and stale.

Mac n Mac & Cheese, Brisket, Pork Belly Burnt Ends

I really enjoy their bbq, all meats have great taste and their sides are delicious as well. Great service, really friendly staff and pretty fast service. The restaurant itself has great decor and makes you feel as if you're in a modern bbq spot. Prices are a little high but it's worth it. I love their chicken and brisket!

The worst Brisket, no flavor and weird texture.

Smokey NO's! This was the worst brisket I've ever had. It has no char at all, tasted like it was cooked in a crockpot and had zero flavor, honestly spent a gif amount of money and couldn't eat it. The sides were boring, turkey was fine but not great.

I love the meats, potatoes, salad too. Pretty healthy considering. We get to go often as it's near us and it makes for a great meal.

Pork loin a bit dry. Brisket on point. Banana pudding is off the chain. All in all a good meal. My first time but I'll be back.

This was a great find!

Ordering happens first at the counter and then each party is assigned a table. I loved this because the only wait is on the front end. The staff were friendly, attentive and genuinely wanting to make sure everything was perfect. Lastly and most importantly was the food. It was delivered hot, portions were generous and every dish was tasty. I highly recommend Breakfast.

BUT, heaven forbid you ask for syrup or bring your own bottle, with your own water ("TABC forbids it"...sure Jan). The first time we went, there was something "off" that happened with the interaction I had with the lady owner. I just couldnt remember what it was, and I dont hold grudges. Plus I give grace to ppl I dont know the backstory to. This second time, I asked for syrup with the pancakes. I get it, it already had the house made fruit syrup, and I probably didn't NEED maple syrup. But Im a fat kid, and it was Saturday. Let a chubby girl live! I asked for syrup and was starred at, "why? ". I replied, "....for my pancakes". I felt judged. Then she stares at me again saying, "theres this joke...nevermind, bad timing" and walked away and then brought the syrup. I really wanted to ask what the joke was. Am I the butt end of it?! Well, it makes me sad. The food really is awesome. The personality, not so much. And I get it, my job is customer and client related and we want to say what's on our mind, but its just not kind. Not very Texan or southern to just give unprovoked rudeness. Still no grudges. I just dont want to be judged for having extra sugar on a Saturday brunch.

Stopped by Fork & Spoon for a quick brunch while out plant shopping, and I'm so glad we did. We…read moredidn't have a reservation, so we had a 40-minute wait--pro-tip: definitely make a reservation ahead of time! It was worth the wait, though. I ordered the turkey club with fries, and while it might sound like a standard order, it was hands down the best turkey club I've ever tasted. The fries were perfectly crisp and well-seasoned, too. The service was amazing, and the spot has such a great, chill vibe. If the weather were a little cooler, it would have been perfect to sit outside. Regardless, I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area again

Fork and Spoon is an unpolished gem--the food shines, and a little more attention to service and…read moredetail could make this place exceptional. We were greeted warmly by the host and had only a short wait. The restaurant was generally clean, although a few areas beneath the booths needed sweeping, and the ceiling fans needed dusting. The fans may sound picky, but the details matter, especially at a place with this much potential. The star here is undoubtedly the food. Last week, I ordered takeout: a chicken club with tomato soup and a Reuben with tortilla soup. The chicken was perfectly cooked and moist. The Reuben was above average, although I personally would have liked a little more corned beef. Today, I ordered the hash with poached eggs. The hash was delightful, and the eggs were cooked perfectly. My guest ordered French toast with strawberries and an over-hard egg. I tried the French toast, and it was light, fluffy, and full of flavor. The homemade whipped butter finished it beautifully--no syrup needed. Unfortunately, the over-hard egg arrived overly browned, with crispy, slightly burnt edges. When we asked for a replacement, it was handled quickly, and the new egg was cooked properly. Where this restaurant needs polishing is the service. Our server's apron was noticeably soiled, which detracted from the overall impression. A clean, professional appearance matters. Having spent years working as a chef and general manager, I also noticed several missed opportunities to elevate the experience. Water arrived without anyone asking whether we wanted another beverage--a natural opportunity to offer specialty drinks. There was little conversation or guidance through the menu, and no mention of the scratch-made offerings that help make this restaurant stand out. When I asked for a recommendation between the hash and another dish, our server recommended the hash without explaining what made it a favorite. A little enthusiasm and description would have gone a long way. The server also suggested ordering the sauce on the side. Unless a guest expresses a preference or concern, I generally favor presenting a dish as the kitchen intended. It honors the thought behind the recipe and avoids unnecessary modifications that can complicate kitchen flow. One final small detail: when I requested water to go, I was brought an empty cup to pour it myself. Bringing a freshly filled to-go cup would have been a more thoughtful finishing touch. There is a lot to love about Fork and Spoon, especially what is coming out of the kitchen. With some service coaching and closer attention to cleanliness and presentation, this unpolished gem could truly shine.

The food was good. The service was good. The ambiance was good. I could not rate them a "5"…read morebecause they have joined in a trend that leaves a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended). They charged me 3.5% for using my credit card to pay for my meal. That bank charge is one of their costs of business (what is next, charging for the dish soap they use to wash your plate?) and is therefore a deductible business expense. But for me, since I cannot write it off, that 3.5% just increases my cost of dining out. I know restaurant margins are slim, but I'm pinching pennies, too, so I won't be going back to this restaurant.

The Buttermilk Cafe was a fantastic place to eat in New Braunfels…read more Of the food I sampled: Onion rings (10/10): My favorite onion rings I've had. Massive, masterfully crunchy, and the onion wasn't overpowering in flavor. Salmon eggs Benedict (9/10): very savory with the hollandaise sauce, poached egg was perfect, the accompanying fried greens were also fantastic. Grilled banana bread (9/10): A very strong signature item, perfect level of sweetness Chicken fried steak (8/10): standard but strong option Fried zucchini (7/10): probably some of the better I've had but there's a bit of a cap to how good these can be. Biscuits (5/10): These were akin to store bought quality, not bad, but not impressive The general ambiance of the location was quite nice, had a bit of an over decorated aesthetic and rather nice tables. The service was traditional southern service, very polite and attentive, not much to improve on. 14/15 Ultimately a pretty darn good but rather expensive as a casual brunch option, but I believe the quality ultimately makes it a strong option for family gatherings.
