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.

The people who work here are friendly, although admittedly not as knowledgeable about some kinds of liquor.

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.

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.

Let me tell you: everything was amazing!! We arrived a bit before they actually opened and we got to see them bringing in fresh ingredients so we knew it was going to be good. Both the husband and wife are super nice and made us feel like family! The outside is quaint and rustic, it fits right in to the area! The Platter comes with you choice of 5 meats, 4 sides, a pretzel and a strudel of your choosing. We got the chicken schnitzel, the pork schnitzel, the currywurst, the beef brat and the country brat. For sides we chose the cucumber salad, red cabbage, potato salad and cheese spatzel. For dessert we opted for the apple strudel. Her favorite was the currywusrt (her first time have it) and mine was the country brat, but everything was simply delicious and did I mention fresh? The pretzel and the strudel are made fresh in house, as is the schnitzel. We'll definitely come back, in fact I am already planning to get some riding buddies together to ride out just for lunch.

1st Timer. My wife, some friends, and I decided on a whim to visit Luckenbach. It was an immensely…read morepleasant experience. I really had no idea what to expect but it turned into a small piece of Texas locked in time to a wonderful rustic place the oozed hill country and rustic charm. Beers were $6 a piece which was a bit of a drag but everything else was pretty in line with what you would expect. When I went their were two food trucks and Luckenbach's own kitchen where you could purchase food to eat. We tried Luckenbach's kitchen and the food was awesome. I had an excellent hamburger called "the tex" and my wife had a jalapeno cheese sausage taco. We both shared some loaded fries. Our food was ridiculously good. All day they had pretty decent live music. The lone child we had with us enjoyed the outdoor games available. There was literally something for everyone and I would highly recommend checking this off your bucket list.

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.
