We were in town for a memorial service so the superb customer service was appreciated and Reid was a fantastic server. The calamari was cooked and seasoned well. We had the lobster spaghetti.

I had two cocktails, both of which were amazing, along with their signature bread and some oysters, all for less than $60. The food was delicious, and you really can't beat those prices, so I'd definitely recommend going during happy hour. What really stood out to me though was the service. We sat at the bar, and our bartender, Sincerity, was easily some of the best service I've experienced in town. She took her time explaining each cocktail and food item in detail, and was extremely personable and hospitable. That level of attention really elevated the whole experience. Overall, great food, great drinks, and even better service. I'd definitely come back.

Strike 2: One person was served pinot noir instead of pinot grigio, while another had to wait 10 minutes for the new bottle of sauv blanc to be opened and served. Strike 3: we ordered 2 soups, 1 to be shared; we got 1 soup to be shared around. We got no soup spoons. We had to wait 5 minutes for the second soup. Strike 4: there was no printed wine-by-the-bottle list; we had to use a cellphone to read the wine list. Strike 5: We waited at least 45 minutes for our meal to arrive. The restaurant was NOT busy. We were told the kitchen was backed up. Was it the toilet that was backed up? Strike 6: The $60 filet mignon, ordered to be medium rare, arrived well-done. In spite of all of the above, we did leave a very generous 10% tip. No one should dine here. The manager never came by to apologize and to offer a recompense. DO NOT patronize this very disappointing establishment!!!

Last night, we chose Reveille (Rooftop bar at Hilton College Station) to celebrate a birthday a…read morefirst visit for us. We had heard great things about Reveille from friends around town. When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was the views over Bryan/College Station, they are truly amazing. We were there not only for a birthday but to watch Texas A&M kick off their season. They had the game on several TVs around the rooftop and with lots of comfortable seating, watching the game was almost like watching it at home. Credit here goes not just to the setting, but to the exceptional team on duty Mattie, Georgia, and Jordan. Their service struck the perfect balance: attentive without hovering, genuinely enthusiastic, and clearly invested in making sure guests felt welcome. It's rare to find staff whose energy elevates a night just as much as the food or drinks, but they pulled it off effortlessly. Speaking of drinks: Reveille's bar program is worth lingering over. We sampled a variety of their specialty cocktails alongside the classics, and not a glass disappointed. The food followed through with equal strength. Chef Keith Snook deserves applause for a menu that blends Texas heartiness with elevated execution. The Short Rib plate was rich and tender, the Texas Charcuterie board felt both rustic and refined, and the Pork Belly Burnt Ends were smoky, indulgent, and perfectly caramelized and were the kind of dish that lingers in memory. Reveille isn't just a bar; it's a destination. Whether you're there for the food, the cocktails, the football, or simply the view, this is a spot that delivers on all fronts. We'll absolutely be back, and next time, it won't just be for a special occasion

I recently visited College Station for a History Conference at Texas A&M. I stayed at The George…read moreHotel and they had a bar past the front desk. I tried a couple of drinks out in the 2 days. I tried the Sour Hour and the Famous 1791 Old Fashion. The Sour Hour drink was recommended by the male bartender that was working on Thursday night. He was very knowledgeable and kind. It wasn't too strong, great ratio from alcohol to juices. I will get that again. On Friday night, I went down to the bar again to try another drink. This time, I can't leave College Station without trying the 1791 Old Fashioned. All I can say is this particular drink is in my top 3 hands down and I had many old fashions in my time working at my current job (on my day offs, of course). They put a teaspoon of brown sugar to tone down the strength of the Whiskey (Buffalo Trace) but not for the Whiskey to lose it's purpose. I will most certainly get it again. They also have a food menu just in case you want to order something to eat. Next time I'm in College Station and staying at The George Hotel, I'm coming back. Good job everyone that worked, this past Thursday and Friday night.

The server I had was one of the best servers I have ever had, and my whole table was impressed. Latino man, honestly forgot his name. One note I will give people a heads up for is that there's really no entrees. People just get a bunch of appetizers. However, if you want an appetizer, the pasta is a good enough amount for a smaller meal and is surprisingly cheap and delicious.

Since we had been drinking a while, we decided to have pizza at the shop attached to the bar. They have a nice pizza oven and this was excellent. I forget the name, but it has a nice thin crust with great cheese and topped with sausage and mushrooms. It really hit the spot Definitely worth a visit, distinct from many of the other bars around.

I'm not often as impressed as I am by Rough Draught. Awesome, awesome selection. Good people who enjoy talking whiskey. The interior and decoration and walls - it all just GOES. It's perfect. Sadly they were out of a key ingredient or two to make pizza when we were there - during Thanksgiving week, so... not "normal" timing - so we sadly could not try their pizza. But we enjoyed multiple great pours, some good cocktails, great conversation, and exploring all of the details in the decor. A staple for any visit I'll be making to College Station and Aggieland.

It's labeled a "whiskey" bar however I found their breadth of labels and age statements to be lacking. The tequila and mezcal selection was actually better overall, however please note they have decided to lean in hard on the clase azul train. Bar staff is professional and make a decent cocktail. They offer seasonal concoctions that all lean on the saccharine side but overall made well. Live music on the weekends is also a plus. I do wish they add a server or two to the room, the bar can get deep and having people stand in line to get a drink like this is some shot bar on north gate or beer line at Kyle field doesn't fit the vibe.

Escargot Stuffed Mushrooms- a bit tiny, but packed with buttery goodness. Entrees: A5 Wagyu Flat Iron- this was a special and it wasn't tender enough to cut with just a fork like I've experienced, but still pretty tender and very juicy. Seasoned perfect to eat by itself, but it came with 4 different restaurant-made steak sauces. Mesquite Smoked Short Ribs- very tender and can be torn to shreds with a fork. Comes with mash potatoes and gravy and some crispy noodles for texture. Very flavorful. Sides: Maple Bacon Pecan Brussel Sprouts- very delicious and flavorful. Smoked Mashed Potatoes- very thick and smokey, but delicious. Definitely need some water lol. Poblano Creamed Corn- my wife liked this, but I didn't care for that creamy corn texture lol. Dessert: Marie Antoinette Cake- chocolate mousse cake that was perfectly rich with some kind of raspberry or berry drizzle. Also came with these super delicious alcoholic infused strawberries that paired super well. Overall, it was a pricey dinner, but not as pricey as I thought. Definitely had a great time and worth the price and experience. The restaurant ambience was dim and cabin-like setting with lots of beautiful decor. Our waiter, Gabriel was super friendly and helpful. He recommended a lot of our dishes tonight. Lots of parking and they also offer complimentary valet services.

I'm in a powered wheelchair and the employee, Bobby, was nice enough to take me up a classy freight elevator to the second floor, where the reception was being held. It was a nice area, furnished with a lot of wood and lights. The reception had set up a nice buffet, and 200 drink tokens had been set aside for guests, although by the time I got there they had been used up. My girlfriend and I got a gin & tonic, and a vodka tonic, for about 11$ each, with both the gin, vodka, and tonics being brewed in house. They were very tasty, although maybe not 11$-tasty. Overall it was a lovely location for a wedding reception, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the drinks were good if just a tad pricey.
