    Don't sleep on Moonshine Grill! We've been here a number of times and recently returned for dinner…read moreafter an event at the Fairmont Hotel. We somehow snagged nearby street parking and a table for two with no wait despite it being a busy Saturday evening after a UT football game. Make a reservation if you have a large party or are on a tighter schedule. It's a bit loud for those seated in the lobby/entrance area, but totes a vibe. For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

    I ordered food today from Pollo Regio on Burnet Road.. I placed the order at 1pm for 4pm delivery…read more The website has a choice for pick8up or delivery. I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with the store manager because we have not received the food. It is now 5pm. The manager couldn't find the order but after 30 minutes found it. He told me that I was supposed to have a delivery service pick it up. No, the website has two boxes to check, pick up or delivery. It is their responsibility to have some delivery service. A few weeks ago I ordered from the same pollo Regio for delivery. They contradicted with a service but the order was over an hour late. After being on the phone with the store manager he supposedly gave me a full credit. I have tried to contact the Austin manager but can't find him/her. TERRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! Please spread this message. Thank you.

    What a pleasant surprise it was to find this lovely casual restaurant tucked inside what was once…read morean old home and now part of a garden supply nursery and marketplace. We had a group of 8 adults who had just completed touring 2 of the Painted Churches, in and around Schulenburg. While our tour guide greeted several servers as we entered like old friends, I don't think that was the cause of their friendliness to our group as a whole, I saw them happily greeting everyone and providing excellent service. Our happy server quickly took drink orders, you can tell when a server is confident in her job and knows the routines as she never wrote anything down but when she returned with drinks, the orders were all correct. She then took orders for lunch, we had a variety of offerings from the menu. I decided on the Tzatziki Salad, a nicely presented Greek style salad with grilled chicken breast slices and some tzatziki with pita points. Others around me had the Rueben and the grilled chicken salad and said everything was perfect. I also heard great things about the home made chicken salad and their hamburgers. And if you feel like your garden needs a bit more color, just step into the garden center after lunch and pick out some lovely plants to take home!

    Dined here for lunch with my mom and our tour guide from the Chamber as a break in the middle of…read moreour day for the Painted Churches tour. I was pleasantly surprised at the absolutely amazing freshness and quality of the food and modern/light atmosphere of this place (a bit unexpected after a few lackluster food experiences in Schulenberg leading up to our lunch here). It was every bit at good as some of the cafes I've eaten in major cities (where there is heavy dining competition). Mom and I both ordered their delicious chicken salad sandwich, piled high (but not too thickly) with shredded chicken on perfectly baked, flaky (but not too flaky) croissant bread. The chicken salad was a perfect blend of seasonings with a few cranberries for a little sweetness. Divine! Each sandwich came with a side of crispy/perfect (seemingly handmade) chips. Our tour guide ordered a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich which she seemed to really enjoy as well, complete with perfectly buttered and crisp grilled sourdough bread. The atmosphere was very modern and new yet warm and dotted with beautiful antique pieces (be sure to check out the old buffet across from the bathroom doors, gorgeous!). And this place seemed packed with many locals in their brunch attire to enjoy the great food and great hospitality of the wait staff. Behind the restaurant, they also host a beautiful nursery where you can browse under the trees through their fairly extensive collection of plants (flowering and non flowering - we saw some variations of native flowering plants we've either never seen before or don't see often so my mom purchased a few for her garden!), chat with the very knowledgeable and friendly owner of the nursery, browse the little nursery gift shop full of unique and beautiful items, and even visit with the sweet "shop" kitties (who seem to like to hang out near the nursery gift shop entrance) if you wish. All in all, a very special experience at this gem in Schulenberg. We will definitely make this our number one stop for meals (and to buy more plants) in Schulenberg when we return!

    The restaurant is beautiful and the service was attentive and kind. What shined the most however…read morewas the way they utilized their oven to sear their food. Their special Josper oven can get up to 1100 degrees Fahrenheit which allows them to quickly cook and sear their food. They capitalize on this unique oven by having the seared skin hold sauces and toppings. Their chicken had the skin nice and crispy which held the butter sauce on the meat. Obviously everything you would normally expect to be great was great, the cook of the meats, the side dishes, the salads, the drinks, but what really stood out was the creative utilization of searing food hot and fast. Our server Olivia was very personable, down to earth, and really helped us navigate the menu.

Our favorites were the tuna tartar, the pulpo, chefs crudo and the shrimp. The sauce that the shrimp came in was delicious! We ended up taking the leftover sauce home. For main course I ordered the scallops and my husband ordered the halibut. Both dishes were fresh and seasoned perfectly. The sauces definitely brought everything together. For sides we ordered the plantains and carrots both were flavorful and amazing to eat. We will be back!
