I kicked things off last Thursday night, At Bandera…read moreBrewery... something wasn't right. I gave their beers a hopeful toast... But it tasted like soap, with a hint of... ghost? First up: Ice Haus Ultra Lite, Which somehow managed to clean my palate... out of spite. It tasted like soap - no exaggeration - Like someone dry-hopped it with hotel sanitation. Then came the Mexican Lager, full of fizz, But the flavor? Honest to God - horse piss. Sharp on the nose, rough on the tongue, A cruel joke in a pint-sized stein slung. Last, the Strawberry Blond - a sweet little pour, That smacked of Runtz candy and lab-made decor. Artificial as a neon tan, More chemistry than strawberry jam. Now look, the staff was nice, the space was fine, The outdoor area? A decent time. But you go to a brewery for beer worth the sip, Not a ghostly, soapy, fruit-flavored trip. I wanted to love it - truly, I tried. But each glass left me a little more fried. Two stars for the effort, the charm, and the crew... But next round? We'll be drinking somewhere new.

I agree with previous reviewer Bradley L, this really is the only liquor store in town worth visiting. The selection of Scotch is also really good at this store.

It is very rustic which made it feel super authentic It is owned by a family husband and wife. I wish I asked for her name all smiles she greeted us and I decided to get the 3 meat combo which I picked the cordon bleu, the chicken schnitzel and the pork schnitzel and I still added the wurst curry. For the sides I got the sauerkraut and the potato salad. My friend got the chicken schnitzel with the cabbage and French fries Let me start by saying it is CHEAP!! My plate is $21.50! It is huuuge! Me the one who can eat a lot! I couldn't even tackle half of it! It definitely can feed easily 2 hungry people! Everything tasted amazing! The cordon bleu though is next next level! I so wish it is closer to me I would just go have lunch there every single Saturday! Also it is true when service is friendly the whole experience becomes better! This lady is pure joy... she is always laughing! After the meal we were outside and she came out playing a bit with her son. It was so sweet to watch! Now this place is on my list of taking visitors... friends... whoever gets in my car going towards this area for a day trip!

Chicken and Pork schnitzel was devoured served with brown gravy on the side. Bratwursts galore. The best thing we had was the sausage curry!!!! Must order! Wish they had spatzle, but their cucumber salad and homemade sauerkraut was good.. Had Apple & Cherry strudel. We brought our dogs, but it isn't a great place for animals as the land over the bridge was full of sticker burrs and it's close to the busy road. Overall, Prost to a Hill Country find. We were able to BYOB.

Luckenbach is a must-see destination for a unique musical experience in the Texas Hill Country!…read more As you enter the "town loop" with the continual population of 3, you have your pick of visiting the wooden dance hall, outdoor stage, general store, post office, or watering hole. "These days Luckenbach Texas is, to paraphrase John Steinbeck, a "State of Mind" - A Texas state of mind, where you can kick back, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life--like a step back in time." You can purchase tickets online or head over to the ticket booth if it isn't a sold out show. The monthly lineup usually includes your favorite local artists & in demand bands, special events, festivals & free shows! Even though Waylon & Willie's Luckenbach Texas wasn't actually based on the dance hall, their iconic lyrics did help make it famous. So turn up the volume and get Back to the Basics of Love as you make the trip out to see a show! You can even arrange a Willie Nelson tour to learn about the historic property If you really do love the Lone Star State, you might want to consider having your wedding or anniversary celebration at Luckenbach!

However, during the Super Bowl halftime, the broadcast was switched to a different program (Turning Point) instead of the official Super Bowl halftime show. This was very disappointing, especially since this was a paid event and there was no prior notice that the halftime show would not be shown. When we asked about the change and requested a partial refund due to the lack of transparency, the owner's wife refused to discuss the concern and appeared upset that we even asked. When the owner, Jeremy, became involved, the situation escalated. He stated that because we are minorities, it didn't matter, and told us that it was his business and that they didn't need our business. We felt disrespected, insulted, and belittled based on our race and appearance. This experience was extremely disappointing and uncomfortable. We chose to leave early because of how the situation was handled. It's unfortunate because the event started off well, but respectful communication, transparency, and treating all customers with dignity should be a priority for any business.
