    The ambiance was impeccable. The service was exemplary. The food? You won't find a finer meal south of the Mason Dixon. Don't miss this place on your trip to beautiful Seguin, Texas.

    Philly cheese steak sandwich

    Very good food we had a cheeseburger and a Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries. It took a little while to get our food but worth the wait. Cute place with good music.

I love the atmosphere of the restaurant, it's got a home like feel. The staff always treats you like family. It's my daughter's birthday and she wanted to float down the river. So that means a trip to Clear Springs. First up a small order of onion rings. They were so good, the crisp outer batter and thick onions. Next up my youngest had the Shrimp Po Boy. It had a nice flavor from lettuce tomatoes and tangy dressing. The shrimp were fried well. My oldest daughter had the Fish Tacos. They were bright and fresh but needed a little more zing. My son had the Combination (fish and fried crawfish)- the crawfish were tasty and had a good batter. My Seafood Grill was amazing. The shrimp brochettes were amazing, loved the grilled catfish. I'm not usually a fan of blackened catfish but this one was good. My wife had the cup of Cajun Gumbo. It wasn't bad but it was chunky and that's not my style. We ended with the Chocolate Cake for dessert since it was my oldest daughter's birthday. It was the perfect end, the pecans added a saltiness that balanced out the richness of the chocolate.

    First of all, this place was packed. But that's a sign the food is good. We waited about 45 min to…read morebe seated on summer Friday recently and it as worth it. The wait staff was fast and friendly. The fish, shrimp, chicken, all seasoned well and fried nice and crispy!!! They had a lot of cool antique like decor and even had a bit of upstairs seating that overlooked the rest of the restaurant. Overall, a very pleasant Friday dinner with my daughter. We will be returning soon!!!

One morning we decided to take him and walk around Gruene and eat lunch. There wasn't much going on there, so we got back in the car and headed elsewhere to eat. I had never been to Buttermilk Cafe, but my wife has been several times with the grandson and his parents. I got a little nervous when we went inside. It was a bustling place, and I was concerned that the wait might be too much for the baby. Fortunately, the wait was about five minutes. This place smells like heaven. The food that we ordered was wonderful. I had the house smoked salmon with toast points and a poached egg. My wife had a slice of quiche, an orange muffin, and some fruit. The baby had a turkey sausage patty, one of my toast points, and some of my wife's fruit. Everyone was super friendly. The staff were wearing football jerseys to celebrate the Super Bowl. Our server was terrific. The patrons were all happy and sociable.

Driving into their large parking lot, and seeing it completely full, let us know that it was going to be packed. Walking inside, we saw it was packed, but they got us seated rather quickly. After getting to our seats, the waitress arrived with menus very quickly and asked if she could start us off with coffee. We took her up on the coffee, and before she came back, we decided what we wanted. We all ordered something completely different, and mine was one of their famous waffles. I also got a side of bacon. The food came pretty quickly considering how packed they were. All orders were just as ordered. My waffle came with syrup and butter on the side so that I could use as much/little as I wanted. Everything was very good, and our waitress never let our coffee mugs get even half empty. She was really good at her job and was also a very good conversationalist. Will I return? Definitely!

Ambiance was good and not a cookie cutter chain restaurant! 100% will be back and recommend.

We were seated right away (Friday night - 645pm). There were quite a few tables full, however, the noise was very minimal. The service was absolutely exceptional (just husband and wife as servers this evening). We ordered the Mozarella sticks as an appetizer (son's favorite app), a 14" pepperoni pizza, chicken parmesan, and chicken piccata. The food was out SUPER fast, and cooked to perfection. The rolls were amazing as well, hot & fresh! Our son didn't want to stop eating the pizza, however he finally did so he wouldn't be "uncomfortable" (which is fine with me so we can have the leftovers). My husband and I finished our dishes leaving nothing to bring home from them. The portion sizes were absolutely perfect on both mine and my husbands dishes. Definitely worth the price without question. If you're looking for some tasty Italian food and excellent service, his is your spot. Lint let its location/exterior deter you. Definitely a hidden gem. Can't wait to come back for more!

    There are meals you enjoy... and then there are meals that make you pause mid-bite and question…read moreevery other fried chicken decision you've ever made in your life. Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken? Yeah. It's that kind of place. We went for the chicken sandwiches and I need you to understand--these were not just "good." These were ruin-other-places-for-you good. Crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned... the kind of sandwich that makes you immediately start planning your next visit before you've even finished the first one. Now let's talk sides, because they did not come to play. Coleslaw (mine): fresh, balanced, actually flavorful (which is rare because let's be honest... slaw can be a gamble). This one? Solid win. Fried okra (my friend's): I am extremely picky about fried okra. Like, I side-eye most of it. But THIS? Golden, crispy, not a hint of that weird slimy nonsense. It was so good we ordered more to take home... which tells you everything you need to know. And because we clearly make excellent life choices, we shared a chess pie for dessert. Rich, sweet, buttery perfection. What really tied it all together though? The service. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being over the top. The kind of service that makes you feel taken care of, not rushed. Bottom line: Every single bite was worth every penny--and honestly, I would've paid more and still walked out happy. This is one of those spots that doesn't just meet expectations... it casually exceeds them and then sends you home thinking about it later like a crush you're not over yet.

I'd rate the whole thing five stars, but for one thing. Ever since COVID, many restaurants have been presenting their menu via a CR code and an Internet link. Some also offer conventional menus, but Kindling is hard core. No paper menus. (Although they will supply a tablet.) My wife absolutely hates this and has drawn a line in the sand. She says we are not going back, and everyone knows "unhappy wife, lousy life. So Kindling, it has been great. Please relent on this menu policy so I can again experience your great cuisine and ambience. You may never know how many oldsters you are losing due to your policy.
