    Nice little restaurant. The food tasted good and the price wasn't too bad. The waitress was nice and made sure our drinks were full. The one thing I didn't care for was the hamburger buns were sweet and I do not like a sweet bun on my hamburger. It would be nice to have more than 12 fries with the burger. Ordered a side of fried okra and got approximately 14 little okra for the basket. Now you consider that with the price that was charged it was really expensive. I'm pretty sure french fries and okra are cheap enough to add an extra handful for the price being charged.

    Damn big burrito

    My Dad and I stayed in a cabin at Black Rock park over the weekend and he insisted on the Dam Grill for breakfast on Saturday. We went around 10am and were immediately seated. I got a coffee and he got sweet tea. To eat, I got the damn big burrito. It was decent sized and great value for the price. He got a breakfast combo that had everything! Eggs, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, and sausage...it was a huge plate! Both meals were really good and we left full and happy. Service was good and friendly.

    Visiting the area and completely underestimated "The Dam Grill"! They blew my mind! The service was amazing! I was not expecting the food to be that good! I got a spicy chili cheese burger & fries, down the to bun! What the heck was in that bun to make it so addicting!!! I knew it was going to be good when they brought out a roll of paper towels My husband and son both loved theirs also! For my son to rave about his chicken tenders was a win in itself ! If your ever visiting the area, this is the place to eat

    My husband had a chicken fried steak sandwich which he said was very good, I had a burger and fries and it was also really good, the wait staff was friendly enough and our food came out quickly.

    Cheeseburger & FF

    Best damn burger I've had in a while & I try them everywhere in the hill country! Meat was hand smashed & grilled perfect. Bun buttered grilled & perfect. This is the kind of burger that's juicy & drips down your elbow. But next time I'm going back & having the Club Sandwich that the table next to me ordered. Looked legit & yummy!

    The service was really bad. My pork chops were dry . The fried okra was very good, though.

    Love the "too dam big" burrito. A little something of everything in there. Great lazy Saturday morning grub.

    Hooper's - Chicken fried steak

    Hooper's

    Hooper's is one of the most unique restaurant experiences I've ever had!…read more It's inside the restored Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) house from the movie, and walking up to it feels so unreal. Once you're inside, you can explore a lot of the house and it blew me away how much you're able to walk around and see. There's art everywhere, tons of movie memorabilia, and it kinda feels like a Texas Chainsaw museum that just happens to serve food, which is pretty awesome. The theme isn't subtle either (in the best way). One area had a bar with a severed head behind it! There are so many little details, displays and photo moments that other horror fans are going to be obsessed with too! Even the menu is fun, with stuff like the Chicken Slaughter sandwich and the Hitchhiker's grilled chicken. I know it's cheesy, but I love it, especially when the whole place is packed with memorabilia. Food was pretty good too. The experience is definitely the main event, but the food held its own as a bar and grill, and mixing that with how cool the place is made it feel like a full stop, not just a novelty visit. Service was fine but not super standout. There were only a couple staff members actively helping people while others were cleaning up, and everyone was nice enough, just not really "above and beyond." Our food also took a while for a burger and a turkey sandwich, but honestly those are my only real complaints, and I'm only even mentioning it because I'm also here to talk about the food. It was great regardless of the wait. Upstairs has a few more Leatherface items plus some gory/spooky decor, and there's a cool little location map where you can stick a pin in to indicate how far you've visited from! They also have a creepy skin looking guest book to sign, which is such a perfect touch. One real warning though: it's an old house. In Texas, Prepare for the heat, and I mean that seriously. If you want to explore outside too, come ready. I had a UV-blocking umbrella and a face mister and I was still feeling it. Sunglasses for the grounds are a must too. Also, there's a kitty living on the porch named Tuxie, and he's a precious little buddy who loves attention. Make sure you say hi. If you're a horror movie fan or you just love weird, memorable places you'll be talking about after, this one is absolutely worth it.

    I cannot say enough good about this place. It's a little bit of a hike from Austin. However I'm…read morenoticing here everything is 2 hours from where you want to be. Anyway this is the house from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What better repurpose than a bar and restaurant. They have merch for sale at a little half bar in the next room. All the shirts are hanging in the hall when you first come in. A bunch of cool designs. Only issue was my friend is a small and they don't sell smalls. I guess it's the whole everything is bigger in Texas. He was able to get a poster though. There was a 30 minute wait but it flew by. You can walk all around the property and also go upstairs to see some life size mannequins of family members. It was such a cool experience. Staff is super nice and accommodating. So finally we get to the food. Delicious. I got the chicken slaughter sandwich. It was huge. We also got the artichoke dip that was kinda thick like cream cheese. We got fried zucchini that was delicious. You get tons of food. This place is an absolute must see if you're in the area.
