The Stone Cellar

For our last day in Round Top, we stopped in at the Stone Cellar for a quick bite to eat. The venue…read moreis actually split into two places, the Stone Cellar and Jon Perez Lounge. The Stone Cellar is to the left and from there you can just order the food from the counter, whereas the lounge you will get table service. Given that this place also hosts live music, trying it out during the day when there wasn't a band (or crowds) made for an enjoyable lunch outing. I would say the menu has pub/bar fare and given that we were both craving pizza and a hamburger, we decided to order one of each to split. The staff also mentioned the Fried Gouda Bites are popular, so we opted for those as well. Let's start with the latter - the Fried Gouda bites were amazing, everything you could expect from freshly deep-fried cheese, decadent and tasty, these are a must order. For the burger, we ordered The Standard, and as the name suggests, their standard burger (I call these "diner-style") and my brother and I both agreed - this is damn near the perfect burger and the best one I've had in quite some time. It was just the perfect amalgamation meat, condiments, and sauce, with a delicious bun holding it all in together. Finally, the margarita pesto pizza was also great - crispy thin crust and just the right amount of cheese and sauce. So, don't overlook the Stone Cellar as a place to go see some live music, it has some amazingly delicious food as well. We will be back next year.

Staying nearby for a mother daughter weekend and we chose stone cellar for our first dinner. It was…read moreonly Thursday, so there was no live music, but the place was spacious in a big cool barn type building with awesome wall decor, a huge counter where you order and lots of tables on the outside patio. Greeted with a smile and took our order, paid and got a number to take to our table. I had the fish taco special and it was cooked perfectly. We also had the cowgirl junky thin pizza which hit the spot. Each of us got the lavender ranch water which was refreshing and flavorful. Can't wait to explore more and maybe hear some music this weekend.

Ambience is burger joint ambience, nothing special except the amazing smell coming from the kitchen. I ordered the pub burger and onion rings. I love the fact that it came with mustard. The burger was outstanding and the onion rings were fried perfectly. Definitely good quality here! We came at a very busy time with a large group, so I won't say anything bad about the service. The food did all come out at the same time though, so no one was left sitting awkwardly. A friend ordered the loaded fries and oh man, the pulled pork was amazing, that sandwich is next for me!

It is a smaller place, Trump Vance memorabilia was there when I went, so I have a Trump koozie and a FJB koozie lol It is a walk up to order. Employees were really nice.

I hate I moved out of state, because I'll never get to eat another. But at least I still have the memory! Solid 5 stars across the board for my visit and from what my Family told me about theirs a couple weeks ago.

My yelp review about my thoughts of Trump Burger…read more Would I ever eat a burger with a burnt top bun with Trump's name all over it again? My answer would be hell nah and I would rather eat at the worst restaurant I've ever ate at in my life than eat at Trump Burger again. Or even eat my own dog's poopoo would be better than eating at such a big beautiful establishment. But with some thinking I decided to only go for the Roland's Deportation with NO KINGS combo meal and an ICE tea which is by far the best meal on the menu and the greatest combo meal found anywhere in the world to enjoy for limited time before they close up shop. The service was a bit rude there but at least the combo meal was good enough to enjoy before seeing Trump supporters throw ketchup all over the walls with some confusion about the owner's deportation and claiming the immigration system is rigged against the owner and that the ANTIFA Democrats are just out to get him.

Service is attentive and with a smile so well done here. The spinach and artichoke dip was unique fresh and very dimmable in terms of melted liquid cheese that I liked. The drinks were great, especially the Manhattan. I'm not taking any points off because I want to support the place and maybe I just need to order something different next time but for $45 it was a pork chop that I couldn't even eat because it was dry and had no flavor so if and when I come back, I'll have to try something else.

At first, I thought she was the only server working, so I was patient. However, I soon noticed there were other servers on the floor. It still took over 20 minutes before she came to take our order. We ordered the Farmhouse breakfast with biscuits and sausage, a kids' Farmhouse with pancakes, and breakfast tacos. Nearly 45 minutes passed before our food arrived. During that time, my coffee never came, and no one checked on our table. When the food finally arrived, my order was wrong. I received toast instead of biscuits and bacon instead of sausage. Lauren apologized and said she would bring the correct items, but they didn't arrive until we had already finished eating. To make matters worse, when I asked to speak with the manager, no manager could be found. I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I'm usually very patient. What was most frustrating wasn't just the wait, but the lack of communication, urgency, and basic customer service throughout the meal. It's unfortunate because The Gathery is a small business that I'd like to support, but experiences like this make it difficult to return. Based on this visit, I won't be coming back, and I can't recommend it to others. I hope management addresses these issues because the food has potential, but the service fell far short.
