    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.

    Brewery #370 Seguin…read moreBrewery is more of a family friendly restaurant that also brews beer than it is a brewery. They do things like pizzas, wings, apps, sandwiches and salads. They don't offer flights which is huge pet peeve of mine for breweries. Let people try your beers. So, I just got 2 pints. I got a Kolsch and an IPA that were both decent. I ordered some honey pecan wings and waffle fries which were solid. The wings had perfectly crisp skin, but the sauce sounded better than the flavor gave. The lady friend had a salad that she said was good. They also offered pours of hard-to-get bourbons but at 65.00 for a pour of George T Stagg, I passed. The place itself was very nice. The service was good. The food was solid, and the beer was decent. Just offer some flights!

One side is the brewery/ bar area you could say the adult area and the other the side catering more to a family atmosphere, honestly both areas are great and plenty of room to enjoy your meal and or beverages. On this day what caught my eye was the Greek Hamburger and I wasn't disappointed. The burger was cooked just right with the right type of spices. You can accompany the Hamburger with fries or union rings. I chose the waffle fries and they hit the spot they were delicious as well. As I mentioned you can choose alcohol because the have quite the selection or sodas which are great option to. Overall it is a friendly and fantastic place to try.

Now that tourist season is over, New Braunfels is back on my areas to eat list. We decided that we would try this on a weekday night. We used one of apps for driving directions to get to this place. That turned out to be the only bad thing about this trip. For whatever reason, it took us on a very circuitous route. If I had known that it was located across the street from Pat's Place, I could have driven straight to it. When we finally arrived, I was not sure it was open. Also, signage was poor, so we didn't see it right away. When we did get into the parking lot, parking was easy, and we were able to get next to the entrance. We walked in and were greeted immediately by the young lady behind the counter. She was very friendly, and finding out it was our first time, she explained the entire process for us. Seeing they had Hatch Chili for the Down the Hatch burger, I knew what I had to have (Have you had Hatch Chili on your burger? Once you try it, you will never go back to typical burgers). My wife ordered the classic burger fixed just like she likes it. We also ordered an order of fries. Our food was made fresh and delivered quickly. The lady that brought our food to the table turned out to be the manager, and she was so nice. In fact, she even gave us a free ice cream for dessert:) Our food was piping hot and made just as we ordered. I took one bite and said I'll definitely be coming back. My wife loved her food too. In addition to the burgers being great, I have to say that the fries might have been the best I've ever had. Seriously! They were just crisp enough, hot, fresh, seasoned well, and nongreasy. After finishing our meal, we went to try the ice cream. The young lady working the ice cream stand was so friendly. She explained how they make their own ice cream and wanted us to try as many samples as we wanted. We decided on the salted caramel as it was so good:) She also told us that they had another location in Gruene, and that we should try it when visiting. Will I return? Definitely - the folks were really friendly, the food was great, and the ice cream for dessert was fantastic.

The jalapeño sausage, I've never had a jalapeño sausage that good! The cheese was bursting out of the seam! The tater salad oh my God!

They tasted exactly the same wow I was so happy to try that because I never thought I'd have a dish like that again in my life. The brisket rice was OK. I probably would get something else. The banana pudding was phenomenal. This is some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Easy five star review! The customer service was great. The line moved quickly and everyone was extremely nice. I will go out of my way to come here and get barbecue every single time when I'm at Seguin, Texas. This should be on Texas monthly, this should be on everyone's radar if you love barbecue!

On a recent evening I wasn't planning on dinner; perhaps more of a liquid diet kinda night. Togo containers all around me hearing praise after praise nearby made me go shell out a mere $15 for a two meat plate with a bacon wrapped jalapeno and sides. Mama raised this boy right! Here's the verdict: St. Louis style pork ribs were fall off the bone tender. Perhaps some of the best bark on ribs that I've experienced. A bit crispier than I'm used too paired with holy sh*t good BBQ sauce. This is a must try food food truck slash caterer here in ATX. Seriously, quite close to nearby faves Salt Lick and Valentina's. Smoked sausage was also excellent. Maybe an higher percentage of fat in the crisp casing? The smoke from the pit really sent this selection into overdrive. With the exception of Austin fave Smokey Denmark, I don't get excited about sausage. JLM's was quite stellar. Amazing BBQ sauce hopefully known from this day Ol' Rooster coined "triple nipple" is also spread across the meat to your specs. Here's something I don't regularly comment on either...sides. Beans packed with brown sugar and jalapenos could be the best I've had in a BBQ setting. Realistically, I'm only knocking off a star for one issue. This is Texas folks; if you don't have pickles, onions, and jalapenos (pickled) readily available your missing something that we expect. Otherwise, over the top excellent!

Their menu is average sized with apps, a senior menu, kids menu, salads, burgers/sandwiches, pastas, entrees and desserts. They also have a happy hour menu with specials ranging from $1 - $9. They even have cocktails with Power Plant themed names. I was in the mood for steak and unfortunately this town seems to be void of steaks for some reason; however, the Power Plant offers one on their menu. I chose a steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. They indicated the steak of the day was a ribeye, but I've never seen a ribeye shaped like this before, it was long and skinny like a skirt steak, or a strip. Ribeye - tender for the most part and tasty. Almost tasted like a flat iron steak, but somehow this was actually a ribeye despite its unusual shape. Long piece of gristle across one entire side and fat cap at the end. This 12oz steak was more like 9 oz after removing all of that. Green beans - basic canned beans with several bacon chunks Mashed potatoes- chunky with brown gravy. The bread that comes with this is basically 2 ends of a griddled hot dog bun. Service was ok as the waitress came around a couple of times to check on me. She forgot to ask me how I wanted the steak cooked, and also came back to tell me she originally gave me the wrong price for it. It ended up being around $25, as opposed to $22 as she originally indicated. I also added a homemade brownie with ice cream to go. This was a pretty average brownie dessert.
