    Lots of fresh crab meat.

    I just love this place. Saturday buy one get one free brunch. Shrimp and grits were done perfectly. Tons of crab in the crab omelettes. Thank you Landon for taking care of us. Great service. Great view of the Marina

    Atmosphere was casual and laid back...lake atmosphere so very laid back. We can for dinner to watch the sunset. Nice breeze and they had the glass doors open for a wonderful evening breeze. Nice laid back music. Erica our waitress was wonderful and attentive. Chef Ben brought our entree to our table. All was great, but felt the Brussel sprouts were a little crispy. (Only reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 stars.)

    I almost hate to write how good the brunch was as one of the things I love is quaint lakeside place with no crowds and laid back atmosphere, however, I will share. Sundancer has a current promotion on Saturday brunch of buy one get one free before 11am. Shaylah recommended the shrimp & grits which I ordered, my husband got the Belgian waffles. Shrimp and grits is big enough to share, it had a good kick and I loved the combination of andouille sausage and fried okra with fresh mix of stir fried peppers, celery and such. Poached eggs were cooked perfectly and ran into grits and sauce...yummy. My husband's waffles were stacked with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. He said they were tasty...like eating dessert. Shaylah was welcoming and helpful...she recommends the key lime pie as it is the best...but will have to check that out another time.

    Sundancer Grill is just a short drive off the beaten path. The view of Lake Travis and sailboats were beautiful. Since I was eating a little later than usual, I had the grilled chicken salad and a side order of bone in wings. Both were delicious and very fresh. You won't see any heat lamps here! They start cooking when you order. The service was a little slow starting out, but they finished up doing a great job. Lakeway has several different places you can eat, but I recommend you try Sundancer Grill. The food and views are Great! Go get Full

    Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

    Cool spot right on the lake! The food was good, (really liked the Thai chicken lettuce wraps and pork/fried avocado tacos) but the speed and attentiveness of the service ruined the experience. Went for a quick lunch before going out of Lake Travis and it took at least 40 minutes to get our food.

    Wednesday all you can eat catfish. :)

    Sundancer Grill has the best burger around Austin. The burger patty is always cooked just the way we request. I love their burger buns -- they have a great texture and complement the burger perfectly.

    Jerk Spicy Island Wings. Might be better with ranch, the sauce doesn't stick much. Good flavor, a bit dry.

    What a great surprise. My first time here and you know, it's really good. Late Saturday lunch crowd (4pm) watching The Masters, a few tables going with food, and friendly employees. Nice view - will be nicer when the lake fills up again someday. Easy parking. The biggest hit: the crab hush puppy Caesar salad. Wow. The hush puppies are fantastic, and are much closer to crab cakes. I suspect they'd double their sales if they just called this a crab cake Caesar. The dressing is tangy and they used just the right amount. Get it - it's great.

    My wedge salad, delivered to our table by a manager, was almost inedible. If I hadn't been with my in-laws, I would've sent it back. I ended up eatting the tomatoes, bacon and bleu cheese crumbles. The lettuce should have been thrown out days before it was served. Most of the menu is over priced,over breaded bar food. Our waitress didn't return until she brought the check.

    Catfish Pontchartrain, split

    We stopped by Sundancer Grill recently after a sailing for the day on Lake Travis. The restaurant is located at Sail and Ski Yacht Club. But, don't be fooled, this isn't your typical lakeside restaurant! You can get there by car or boat. The restaurant has a courtesy dock located behind the restaurant. If you boat in, be aware of the shallow water! Logan waited on us during our visit, and his service was great ... attentive, but not overbearing! Thanks Logan, well done! We started off with a couple of appetizers, the ceviche and the fried avocado wedges. The ceviche was perfectly prepared, and featured tilapia, mango and citrus, well-balanced, with a little heat provided by diced jalapeno. The ceviche is served with seasoned tortilla chips, very tasty and sturdy enough to hold a pile of ceviche. Delicious... We weren't as thrilled about the fried avocado wedges. They were a bit mushy; I suppose that's to be expected. Lightly battered, seasoned with a little crushed red pepper and sesame seeds. The spicy tomatillo lime ranch served with the wedges was very good. We turned the fresh greens underneath the wedges into a pseudo-side salad. LOL We split an entree, the Catfish Pontchartrain, which was served with garlic smashed potatoes and grilled zucchini. The entree was split for us in the kitchen, no extra charge, which is always nice. The Cajun cream sauce served on the fish was very good, loaded with fresh shrimp. The veggies were good too! We didn't save room for dessert, but those listed on the menu look really good. Next time! I included photos of the entire menu to give y'all an idea of the wide variety of selections offered at Sundancer Grill. Craft salads, burgers, sandwiches, steak and seafood. There is a brunch on Sunday, which looks super tasty! Something on the menu to suit the whole family, and decent prices. Some thoughts about the restaurant itself. It's open air, and it may not even have A/C. But, don't let that scare you off. We were there when the temperature was in mid-90s. They have many fans, and a couple of cooling machines, which I believe use ice. It was very comfortable inside. A full-service bar is available, offering specialty cocktails, as well as a decent beer selection, and a handful of decent wines. Happy hour is Monday through Friday, 4pm to 6pm, with drink discounts, half price wine by the glass, and half appetizers. We'll definitely be back!

    3.5 stars Casual spot right on the lake. The food was surprisingly awesome. I came for Sunday brunch and had the Crab Hush Puppy Eggs Benedict ($18.95). It was awesome, the eggs were perfectly poached, and the Hollandaise was rich and velvety. Slightly dirty tables.

    I've lived in this area for 5 years and never knew of this gem! Not a lot of breakfast places on or…read morejust off of 620. I literally drive by Hudson Bay twice a day, 5 days a week for work. I'm kicking myself that I've missed out on the last 5 years! So obviously this is my first time in. I walked in, not knowing what to expect. A lady behind the bar made eye contact with me, greeted me & said sit wherever you want. A lot of tables were taken. There were a couple open, But I'm solo, so I sat up at the bar. Another lady came over and started chatting with me like we were old friends, which I love. God Bless Texas! She was telling me everything is good, you're not going to be disappointed. Burgers are fabulous. And so on. Once she said waffles, I was in! She wondered off cleaning and helping other patrons. I looked over the menu, saw chicken and waffles. I was sold! A young man came over and asked if I had a drink in mind. I said yes. Mexican Coke. Would you believe I've never had Mexican Coke before. It's true. This was my first, right here at Texas Toast Breakfast and Burgers. Memories being made. To be honest, I don't drink soda much at all. I also said I was ready with my food order too. Chicken and waffles. He said good choice, it's a big Texas shaped waffle (love it) with a big piece of fried chicken. He put my order in and gave me my Coke in a bottle. No fountain type drink. Felt like an 80's Coke commercial with a real glass bottle. Feeling fancy. Since I'm solo, I put my ear phones in and listened to my own music. A little Lenny Kravitz, American Women, if you're interested in what I was listening to. My plate came out, and Oh ! My ! Word !!! Chicken & waffle big as my plate. I nearly cried, gasped, unbelievable! Seriously, this was a solid breakfast, and now I'm really bummed I've missed out for 5 years! I joined the clean plate club even though I was completely stuffed. Chicken was tender, juicy, hot and fried perfectly. Light crispy, not greasy. So, so good. The waffle was light & fluffy, but once I smeared the butter on it and soaked it with syrup, I put the chicken back on top of the waffle and cut away at both. Solid breakfast. Completely epic. Enjoyed every bite. Was in my own little world with my music and good food and an amazing Mexican soda. The service, way top notch. I felt like family. The young man that took my order, Alvaro M, totally chill with me, we talked a little about ourselves. And that I never knew this was here even though I drive by on 620 for work. Truly, great service. As a solo diner, it's nice to have human contact. Even though I had my ear phones in 1 ear, so I could still hear and interact. Had the best service, food, interaction. Couldn't have asked for a better first impression. Can't wait to come back. Parking lot is pretty large. So you shouldn't have a problem finding a place. This seems like an off the beat residential neighborhood with a lot of RV parks, and boat launching area. Like I said, hidden gem!

I grew up eating (and later making) really good chicken fried steak. So I didn't come in casual. I came in ready to evaluate. First things first: this spot is tucked into a strip mall, and if you're not paying attention, you'll drive right past it. Keep your eyes open. Walking in, though? Completely different story. The vibe is laid-back, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. We were greeted right away and told to sit wherever we liked. Midday on a Wednesday meant it was nice and quiet; no wait, no chaos. Drinks were simple - Mexican Coke for me (always a win), fountain Pepsi for my lunchmate. (it's always nice when they have both options) We both ordered the chicken fried steak because of course we did. That's what brought us here. Sides: Me: green beans + mashed potatoes Them: salad + mashed potatoes Gravy situation: Me: classic Them: chorizo gravy Food came out quickly, which I always appreciate. Let's break it down honestly: The breading on the chicken fried steak? Perfection. Crispy, well done, exactly what you want. The meat itself? That's where things fell short. It needed more tenderizing--cutting into it took effort, and the texture leaned dense and chewy instead of that tender, fork-friendly bite you're hoping for. On top of that, it was missing seasoning, which made the whole thing feel a little flat despite that beautiful crust. The chorizo gravy (per my lunchmate)? Solid. Good flavor. But even that couldn't fully make up for the lack of seasoning in the meat. Sides were a mixed bag. Flavor was there--but mine had noticeable cold spots, like they'd been reheated unevenly. My lunchmate's sides were warm, but not quite hot. Now here's where they win big: The service. Top notch across the board. Everyone was kind, attentive, and welcoming without hovering. The owner even came by to chat for a bit - super friendly, clearly passionate, and we genuinely enjoyed the conversation and hearing about the food. That kind of hospitality goes a long way. Overall? I'd come back. But next time, I'm switching it up. The owner confidently recommended the waffles, and after that conversation, I'm willing to give them a shot. Because while the chicken fried steak didn't quite hit the mark for me this time, the people and the atmosphere? Absolutely worth another visit.

A younger female employee with a long dark ponytail brought our food over, I think she was a food runner - but she wasn't wearing the Vivel branded t shirt like the other employees. When my husband politely asked for ketchup, she visibly rolled her eyes before bringing it. When I then asked if I could please have a knife (I'm seven months pregnant, for context), she started to walk to get one, took two steps, turned back and said "you can go get it yourself". It felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, especially given how quiet the café was at the time. We stayed for a while after and watched her standing by the counter organizing utensils, so it wasn't a matter of being too busy. We really like this place and will continue coming back, but this interaction stood out in a negative way and didn't reflect the level of service we've experienced before.
