From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a step back in time--in the best way possible. The food is fantastic, the drinks are cold, and the vibe is unbeatable. Whether you're meeting friends, enjoying live music, or just looking for a laid-back spot to unwind, this place delivers every time. The rustic setting, unique décor, and friendly staff make it an experience--not just a stop. It's quickly become one of my favorite hidden gems in the Hill Country. Highly recommend to both locals and visitors--you won't be disappointed!

The drinks? Beer bottles and wine in solo cups. Fancy, right? Mixed drinks don't exist here--unless you count the owner mixing up his ego with basic customer service. Speaking of the owner, he thought it was appropriate to accost my mother (in her mid-60s, mind you) for not tipping. For what service? We ordered at the bar, carried our own food, poured our own drinks... What's next, we tip ourselves for breathing? Bottom line: this isn't dining, it's self-serve misery with a side of attitude. If you enjoy being disrespected in a plywood shack, congrats--you found your spot. Otherwise, run.

The beef was cooked perfectly, and the combination of beer-braised onions and grilled poblanos on jalapeño sourdough brought everything together with incredible flavor. You can tell there's real thought put into the menu. It has that perfect country feel - laid back, comfortable, and the kind of place you can bring family or meet up with friends. Great food, good drinks, and a spot that feels like it belongs in the community. Highly recommend!

That and the okra too for sure. You do have to be careful because there is still enough oil on them to burn you if you get greedy. They're always super fast to get your food out to you, even when they're packed. I definitely always favor this over something like Whataburger or McDonald's when we come through. Not only because the price is similar (and even cheaper in most cases) but the food is significantly fresher and better tasting.

Hands down, I'd be willing to drive 25 minutes to get another Reuben. IMO, they have the best one around. The sauerkraut was so good too. I really should've taken a photo but it just looked too delicious. The SO cleaned his plate so I'm guessing there were no complaints there, lol. They do have a selection of desserts as well, but we were simply too full.

A warning: If you eat Weinerschnitzel in Vienna, you will be ruined for life on most of the…read moreversions you find elsewhere. But I was stupid, and hungry, and ordered what looked like the specialty of the house at Eve's Café. In fact, it looked like what they called a Wienerschnitzel was the basis for all sorts of schnitzel variations with different toppings and gravy. That should've been an extra warning for me. To be fair, the description on the menu said that what you would get was a pork chop, and that is what I got. It was a little bit tough, which I suspected in advance, watching the people at the next table, sewing on theirs. The breading was weird in a way that's hard to describe. It was somewhat over-seasoned, a little bit hard, and left an aftertaste that was slightly chemical. An even worse sin by Texas standards, it was small, as in the recommended meat portion size for healthy eating, about the size of my hand, minus the fingers. My side of onion rings had the same breading. And even though I am generally a gravy hog, I didn't especially care for the brown gravy that came with my meal. The German dill salad probably had some dill in it somewhere, but it was all drowned in so much mayonnaise-based dressing, I couldn't really taste it, and the whole thing turned into soup before I finished. This all really sounds terrible, but it wasn't actually terrible. I ate all of it except for the soupy salad, but it just never rose beyond competent, when I had gotten my hopes up for some good German food. As I looked around at what others were eating, I really wished I had ordered one of the fabulous-looking sandwiches, burgers, or bratwurst. Those are harder to mess up. The restaurant itself has a nice location on the Square in Lampasas, and a charming vibe. The Thursday lunch crowd was good sized so it looks like a popular local place. The service was very friendly and pretty quick--maybe little TOO quick, as if my schnitzel might've been waiting for me under a heat lamp. Once I'd finished, I was still a little hungry, and considered ordering a slice of their Black Forest Cake. But I have had Black Forest Cake in Bavaria, and I simply couldn't bear another disappointment.

Fries: crispy, crunchy, hot, fresh, salty, overall great fry. Onion rings: one of the best I've had. Crispy, crunchy, hot, fresh, salty, good onion flavor. Green chile pepper burger: It can go head to head with any burger chain, Hopdoddy or Whataburger. To me it's in the same top tier of burgers. The bun has to be Martins potato bun soft nice chew with a hint of egg flavor. Toasted on both sides so they got it done right. The beef patty has to be 80/20 maybe that's why it's beefy and moist in the center. The mayo mixed with the spicy green peppers adds just layers of flavors. When you bite into it, you get the soft bun immediately you get that kick from the green peppers then you get that creaminess from the mayo, and then it all comes together with that beefy flavor from the patty. The thick cuts of pickles, tomatoes and lettuce really adds freshness that the burger needs because it's very heavy and rich. It has an umami and has that crave factor. They selected the right onions, red, the red onion goes well with the green chile. The zing from the red onions adds more flavor. The meal is not cheap to say, $15 for a burger is up in price but you get what you pay for and to me, based on the location, based on the overall freshness, it's worth it. It's worth paying a higher amount to get a higher valued meal. If you want ranch, you have to ask for it and plus no extra charge.

We took two bites before we realized the meat was raw on the inside. When we went up to the counter the employee got defensive and said "that's how we make them". The attitude was disturbing. Four hours later we were all sick. Puking and miserable! So I guess they got the last laugh. The fries were soggy and dark brown from overly used grease I'm sure. When I sent a private message to the owner he blocked me on Facebook. This is a seedy business with a disgusting kitchen and terrible customer service. Instead, go across the street to Mommas Home Cooking and get the patty melt, or just drive over to STORMS and get the sourdough burger. I live in Burnet.
