    Fried catfish po-boy combo
    Ginger M.

    This place is absolutely disgusting! I ordered the fried catfish po-boy with fries and a strawberry shake. Here is the breakdown: Fries- Nothing special, but sadly the best part of my combo meal. I fed it to my dogs. Po-boy- The catfish was under-cooked and not fresh to say the least. I took one bite of the cheap hamburger bun (not the traditional hoagie type style bun for po-boys) and with my first bite I got Bone, yes BONE!!! Nothing more repulsive than biting into a cheap breaded sandwich with under-cooked fish and bone stabbing your gums. This I could NOT feed to my dogs. Strawberry shake- Some blended ice with watered down milk and strawberry Nesquik from my childhood. You'll get a much better shake from Dairy Queen. Please do not eat here or try it at your own risk!

    Now Red Iron BBQ. Delish . Just straight up good hamburger, fries and o-rings. Club sandwich well done. Friendly service. Not crowded.

    Lunch today at The Dam Grill was especially memorable and satisfying…read more It began with an experience that speaks to the true greatness of America. An elderly, mobility challenged couple parked at the front of the restaurant. The wait staff rushed out and assisted them to a table. Don and Barbara are regulars...I talked to them a bit on my way out. The care I saw happen there talks about the heart of America. It's not the politicians that make this country great...It's the people! It's service like this, that goes above and beyond. It's small, neighborly businesses where the customers become family. It's GOOD people that make this country great. ...And good food only makes it that much better! My meal choice for today was the large Chicken Fried Steak, with green beans, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, roll and sweet tea...your quintessential, thoroughly satisfying, Texas style comfort food. The steak portion was BIG! Big enough that I have AT LEAST one more fine meal coming from the leftovers. The mashed potatoes were smooth, drenched in a generous portion of delightful cream gravy. The DG style green beans are unique and were delicious. The roll was fresh and melt in your mouth good. As for the sweet tea... Well... Let's just say that it was just right! The smoke free restaurant is clean and spacious with plenty of seating. The friendly wait staff stays on the move attending to customer's cups of tea, coffee and sodas. The kitchen gets meals out quickly. The table bussers are meticulous and quiet. Outside, the parking lot has plenty of handicapped access spaces and free general parking galore...with lot's of room for rancher's truck's and trailers. I only have one complaint. In my book, breakfasts like theirs should be available all day long. LOL. Dang good stuff! Friday night is all you can eat catfish. When I want catfish, this is my goto. The fish is tender, succulent fillets and the beans and hush puppies are to die for. If You want a truly satisfying meal at a price that won't break your wallet, the The Dam Grill is right where you need to be. Just sayin'.

    Whoever gives the Dam Grill at Lake Buchanan Dam, TX a (1) Star does not know anything about good…read morefood. They must be lying. The food is always plentiful and very good. We drive from Georgetown, TX as often as possible just for the catfish on Fridays. Even when they are extremely busy, the waitstaff will get to you promptly. They have a wonderful group of ladies that work there, and they are so kind and helpful. I will give them five stars every time we eat there. Betty Marks, Georgetown, TX
