4th of July. Our server was awesome! Answered our questions, and was super sweet & quick to get us…read moreour order. We had a Chicago Dog & Frito Pie & draft beers. The ambiance was what you'd expect at a sports bar. Lots of TVs, etc. friendly crowd. The food was pretty good, but we were a little disappointed with the beer. It really wasnt COLD. It was colder than room temp, but definitely NOT Ice cold. Disappointing, esp for a sports bar. We really wanted that. We left after 1 beer- prob would've stayed for more if it were ice cold drafts in the middle of summer.

We were so pleased with this meal. Kids eat free on Mondays. 4 wings, side and drink for the kids…read more I got the southwest salad and husband got 20 wings. It was plenty of good for my big eaters. We ordered buffalo, garlic Parmesan and lemon pepper. We did wet rubs? On the parm and lemon pepper and it was simply the best wings we have had. Salad had fresh jalepenos with the chipotle ranch dressing. We were very happy to have found this spot!

As a regular visitor to this lively, sports vibe. Where screens are thoughtfully positioned so you…read morenever miss any game. I always know what kind of energetic atmosphere to expect. I usually stick with the cheeseburger while mixing up my sides. The cheeseburger is an absolute masterpiece. It is exceptionally juicy, packed with flavor, and seasoned to perfection, truly outstanding. To drink, I branched out and ordered the non-alcoholic dragonfruit energy drink, and it was so good! Vibrant, refreshing, and delicious, i definitely recommend this drink. ​However, as a self-proclaimed onion ring connoisseur, visiting a venue with "Rings" right in the name naturally raised my expectations. Sadly, these earn a generous 4 out of 10 at best. The batter is far too dense and aggressively crunchy, while the onion itself lacks any distinct flavor. For true onion ring greatness, the crown still firmly belongs to Clear Springs in New Braunfels. ​Service was a bit of a mixed bag. Our waitress started off wonderfully, engaging, and setting a great tone, but her attentiveness dropped off sharply as the meal progressed. We ultimately had to flag down another staff member for a simple drink refill because our server was nowhere to be found. Despite the inconsistent service and underwhelming rings aside, the incredible quality of the burger and drinks means I will definitely be back.

Allow me to start by saying I was nervous. Since the COVID shutdowns I feel good quality has…read moreplummeted. Because of that I don't really go out and eat, especially, to places in highly tourist areas, 9 times out of 10 you can expect, almost without exception for the food to taste generic despite at ambiance and visual appeal of the place. Tack on to that, I hate over paying for anything I can do better at home. And I'm pretty good in a kitchen. So with great reluctance I agreed to dinner at the Gruene River Grill. Like many places in a tourist trap the ambiance was good, nailed It. But I expected it. The service was good, as it often is. Unfortunately in a touristy area I don't give restaurants credit for those two pieces. I ordered the pork chaps and my wife ordered the pork medallions. They arrived at the table and immediately I began to realize my negative expectations were being challenged. The food was hot, not warm, hot. The plate visual was beautiful. Portion size, easily for two, at least the pork chops. I was sure this is where the positive experience would end. Then I took a bite. Negative expectations defied! I make a damn good smoked bone in pork chop, but this made mine seem like second hand at best. This was THE BEST pork chop I had ever had. I don't think I talked for the rest of the meal. Delicious! Beautiful. Handled with care. Did I say delicious. Did I say it was better than any other pork chop I had ever had? In case you missed it. It was the BEST pork chop I'd ever had and I just wanted to say, "thank you" to the GRG for such a welcomed and unexpected surprise! (My wife felt the same about her order)

Title: Definitely Not Their Best Night…read more I've eaten here at least four or five times and have always been impressed with the food. It's a casual, family-style environment, including the bar area, which is essentially one large communal table where anyone can grab an open seat. Unfortunately, today was completely different. The moment I opened the front door, I noticed a strong gas-like odor that became more noticeable farther inside. I mentioned it to the staff and was told a manager attributed the smell to being near sewage. That explanation didn't make much sense to me considering I've eaten here several times, they haven't relocated, and I've never smelled anything like it before. I stayed, but then my soup arrived cold and my made-to-order tacos were also cold. I eventually took my food to go. The waitress herself was pleasant, and I still tipped her 30% because these issues weren't necessarily hers to control. I've had enough good experiences here that I wouldn't write the restaurant off based on one bad visit, but between the unusual odor and cold food, this was definitely not the experience I've come to expect.

I had a Tipsy Blond (named for the Brewery's cat who I saw peeking out the window!) The beer was good and flavorful. I especially like that the menu includes the IBU value for each beer as I prefer beers with little bitterness. After I ordered beer, I flipped the menu over to discover many more cocktail and wine options! We had Rueben's, turkey burger or the regular burger and we all enjoyed the food. My tots were sprinkled with a peppery seasoning that gave them a bit of kick and they were very crispy. I'd suggest them over the fries which were not as crisp. The outdoor seating was cooled by a nice breeze. There is a small indoor bar. The main entrance is on the side street but is also accessible from Castell Ave. I can see enjoying another evening here!

Came here for breakfast before leaving New Braunfels. Ham & cheese omelette was very standard…read more Nothing special to write home about but it wasn't bad either. I was sad they ran out of Cholula hot sauce as that would've really helped the omelette out. The strawberry French toast tasted like melted strawberry shortcake ice cream... some fresh strawberries would've balanced the dish out. As for the cinnamon latte, it tasted like how a candle smelled which was interesting. It lacked a good coffee/espresso flavor. I feel that this restaurant is probably a lot better for lunch and dinner; there are better spots for breakfast in the area.

There are plenty of great places to eat in New Braunfels, but few combine great Texas comfort food,…read morea fantastic setting, and a proper margarita quite like this place. Let's start with the chicken fried steak, because it's absolutely worth talking about. Texas has no shortage of restaurants claiming to make the best, but this one belongs in the conversation. Crispy breading, tender beef, and all the comforting goodness you expect from a well-executed Texas classic. It's easily one of the better chicken fried steaks I've enjoyed, and I'd happily order it again. But honestly, the patio might be just as big a reason to visit as the food. The rustic surroundings, beautiful trees, and relaxed Hill Country atmosphere make this a wonderful place to spend an afternoon. It's one of those settings where you sit down for lunch and suddenly realize you've been there two hours because nobody feels particularly motivated to leave. And that's where the margaritas come in. Excellent margaritas. Cold, refreshing, and perfectly suited to an afternoon on the patio. I'm fairly certain a good margarita, a little Texas scenery, and absolutely nowhere else you need to be should qualify as a legitimate stress-management program. What really makes this place special is the combination. The food is good enough to bring you in, the atmosphere makes you want to stay, and the margaritas make you forget you had somewhere else to be. It's a popular destination, and for good reason. Whether you're entertaining visitors, exploring the Hill Country, or just looking for a memorable meal, this is an easy recommendation. My advice? Request the patio, order the chicken fried steak, enjoy a margarita, and don't be in a hurry. That's a pretty great way to spend an afternoon in Texas. Five well-earned stars.

There was a pumpkin patch and wine festival today so the restaurant was pretty crowded…read more We elected to sit outside versus waiting for a table. The appetizers are huge. There were six of us and we couldn't finish either of them. I ordered the GristBurger, without a bun and fries. It was very good! Everyone really enjoyed their meals.

The food was good, the beer selection was tremendous, and the service was excellent. With so many beers to choose from, there's certainly something for just about everyone. What really makes Krause's stand out is the atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy a few drinks, and spend an afternoon catching up with friends and family without feeling rushed. Great beer, good food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd return to!

Although, it's easy for me to say because I went in the fall. This place has amazing food. We got the large pretzel which surprised me how large it was and I loved the beer cheese. Usually it's not good but it's legit here too. I also got the Texas schnitzel which was a good spin on the traditional dish. The gravy is really good on it. I was so full I couldn't even try my fiancé's roasted chicken. I would definitely come back to try their other food items. All in all, great food, great service, and great ambiance. Wish it was closer to Buda!
