    Black widow

    As always, the Rusty Nail never fails. Looks like they rolled out their fall menu which include what I ordered: Pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw ON the sandwich (only way to eat a pulled pork sammy) and I got the black widow, which includes lemon juice + whiskey + blackberry . And it is 10/10 - made by the one and only Spencer lol! Everyone here gives exceptional service and always has a great vibe! The owner is super down to earth as well and really puts effort and quality into his business. Love this place

    Always enjoy The Rusty Nail. My husband loves the Hangover burger and my favorite is the fish tacos. The beer selection is nice and the whiskey of course is a plenty. Service is always amazing by bartenders and servers. Honestly everything is excellent here.

    Took a drive fine Potranco to join my friend for her birthday at this bar and grill. Didn't know what to expect. It's located in a well lit shopping strip next to Pizza Hut. Everything from the staff, the drinks, the music was great. The music was a mix. Sometimes good country, sometimes 90s and sometimes current hits. They have a large bar. Plenty of options. Drink prices aren't too steep. They can make you well drinks or cocktails. They also have beer in bottles and on top. For those that like seltzers, they have a few available. We did try the fried pickles. They were good. Great tasting batter. They have inside and outside seating. There's games available and darts.

    My friend and I have been here twice and it was an amazing experience both times! We always get the skillet que so and we love trying their different drinks. The manager Steven is just the nicest and the atmosphere is so fun. This place is best for you and just a few friends; def not a big group type of thing. The bathrooms are always clean and back patio area is cute too with connect 4 and prob some other games. We haven't tried too many bars that made us feel as good as this place; even the patrons that come in are super cool and fun to be around.

    The food was presented well and tased great, service was slow considering it being busy and not enough servers, bar tender was very helpful. The Ambiance was inviting and cozy, great meeting place

    Country speakeasy? Maybe. This place is pretty cool. Where country and speakeasy meet. Craft cocktails or draft beer. Good neighborhood bar feel. Did not get to try the food but it did look good. Definitely recommend if you haven't been.

    Tried this place with some friends whom have eaten here a few times and took their recommendations and glad we did. This place had good solid food with good flavor and good sized portions and it's really tasty food to be honest. The burger had really good flavor and was cooked medium to my liking. The fries were great and the drinks were on point. The service was a bit slow but probably caught them on a busier day or maybe someone called in because our friends who were with us said, this is the slowest service they had ever received. So will give them the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day. However, if you live or are passing by, this is certainly a great place to eat and or hang out and have some good food and drinks. Will definitely be back again!

    Food was recommended by a friend but was completely different from what was said. The chicken tenders were as thin as chicken skins.

    26 Jul 2023 We had…read moremade a reservation for 4pm, because it sounded like you needed a reservation. We got there at 3:50pm, walked in and no one was at the host station. There was a sign to seat yourselves. OK. We sat down and the bartender brought us menus. Us and a group of three were the only customers. Brought us waters. While looking at the menu, a server comes over and asks if we wanted appetizers or go straight to order. Straight to order, please. The husband ordered the brisket pot roast. It came with asparagus and what he thinks was puréed squash. I had the pecan chicken. Panko breaded with pecans and a bourbon sauce. Maple and bourbon were the flavor elements. Came with baked Mac and cheese and sliced slightly charred carrots. This was really good, as was the husbands plate. Warm Sourdough bread and butter is served with the meal. We split a Caesar salad. The salad was OK, the dressing was a little tart and served on the side. I'm taking a slice of chocolate cake to go. As I peek into the bag, it is a generous slice with strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Stay tuned. The restaurant is part of the Hillside Resort. Looks like a bunch of rooms. When we were about to leave a group of women came in and sat at the bar. I told the bartender we'd heard about them through Texas Eats. He said 'are they still showing that? That was about six chefs ago!' All righty then. I'd say it's worth a trip to try.

    Lovely restaurant located in a local Castroville hotel with beautiful scenic views of rolling green…read morehills. Reservations were made ahead of time for 4 and upon arrival we were were seated right next to the large open windows. Ordered the Berry Patch cocktail- nice and refreshing with a splash of mint leaves. Menu wasn't overwhelming and had a nice assortment of dishes. Starters ordered - pork belly bites and fried Brussels sprouts. Both highly recommend! Dishes ordered- salmon, pork chop, pot roast, and steak. Pork chop and steak were not dry, but juicy with lots of flavor. I loved pot roast growing up , so I had to order it here. Although tasty, texture was a little chewy and tough. Also would have enjoyed a little more helping of vegetable/potato purée underneath the roast. The salmon dish looked fabulous, but was slightly salty. The sweet bun that accompanied each dish were delicious! Service was good. I'd come back to try the pork chop next time around.
