The restaurant is built in what used to be a house, which makes it a very interesting and unique concept. The steak was really good, and the portion was plenty for a big eater like me. The cornbread was also delicious, but the absolute highlight was the bourbon bread pudding. Honestly, it was probably one of the best things we had! Definitely a place I'd come back to. Great food and portions, and that bread pudding is a must-try!

Kindling Texas Kitchen is such a great place to go when you're looking for a special meal, which is…read moreexactly why we chose it to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. From the moment we walked in, I immediately told my husband how perfect the atmosphere felt. It was warm, cozy, and just had that special-occasion feeling we were hoping for. Even better, we were seated in a little nook with only one other table nearby, which made the whole experience feel even more intimate and private. Our service was quick, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling rushed. And the food... absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, hot, and that melt-in-your-mouth kind of delicious. Our wine was great as well, and honestly, the entire meal came together perfectly. Yes, it definitely comes with a higher price tag, but for us, it was worth it for a special occasion. In fact, I think this is going to become our once-a-year kind of place. I almost want to keep it that way because I love that it still has that wow factor, and I'd hate for it to lose some of its magic if we came too often. We had such a wonderful anniversary dinner and couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate 20 years together. Definitely a memorable meal, and one we'll be talking about for a while!

The food and drinks at La Cosecha Mexican Table are as delicious as they are beautiful…read more I had a spicy margarita that was amazingly flavorful and the perfect combination of ingredients with fresh jalapeño added for spice. I also ordered the Mexican Benedict. The presentation was beautiful but the combination of ingredients made it a flavorful and balanced combination of deliciousness. The cornmeal pancake combined with the tomato jam and the spiced up hollandaise sauce over the slow cooked tender pork truly elevated the flavor on this Mexican spin on eggs benedict. Our server was attentive and helpful with re compensations as it was our first visit to the restaurant. The dining area is large with ample seating and beautiful elevated Mexican decor. I'm so glad I finally got off of 35 to try this restaurant after years of driving by.

After a fun day at Schlitterbahn, we headed to La Cosecha with the family and arrived around 7:30…read morePM. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a more polished atmosphere than I expected. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was excellent--friendly, attentive, and especially kind and accommodating with our kids throughout the entire meal. I originally wanted to order the barbacoa, but our plans changed when we tried modifying the kids' meals. We asked about adding picadillo to their bean and cheese tacos and substituting fruit for the rice and beans. We were told adding meat would be $4 per taco and fruit would be another $6, which would have more than doubled the price of the kids' meals. Rather than doing that, I ordered the one-pound fajitas with chicken and Wagyu beef so we'd have plenty of extra protein to share with the kids. The kitchen was pretty slow, but thankfully the chips were excellent and they kept them coming. The salsa was served warm with a nice amount of heat, and my oldest son absolutely loved it. In fact, the chips were apparently too good. Between the long wait and unlimited chips, my 7-year-old managed to eat enough of them that he eventually threw up. That's entirely on him--not the restaurant--but perhaps the strongest endorsement of the chips I can offer. My wife ordered the sangria swirl margarita and enjoyed it, although we were surprised by how few flavored margarita options were available. I went with a mezcal cocktail that was delicious, well balanced, and definitely wasn't shy on the alcohol. Once the fajitas finally arrived, they were excellent. The Wagyu beef came out medium rare exactly as requested, and both the beef and chicken were flavorful and well prepared. Ordering the larger portion also worked out nicely for sharing with the kids. Overall, we'd come back, although probably more readily for an adults-only dinner. The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and especially our waitress were all excellent, and the staff was genuinely kind to our children. The biggest drawback for a family meal was the lack of flexibility with the kids' menu. Some reasonably priced à la carte options or easier substitutions would make this a much better choice for families.

We had Amagine as our waitress. She was super. We had a first timer with us. She was very impressed with the food taste and quality. Definitely going back there again. There is a wait time, but they move fairly quickly. Plenty of seating, upstairs and downstairs. Parking is okay, there is an overflow parking. Restrooms are a little tricky, so if you need a great restroom, go potty before you come here. lol. All in all, great food. Worth the drive. We came in from SA.

I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent dining experience at your establishment. My…read moreboyfriend and I were looking forward to our visit, as he has frequented your restaurant for lunch in the past and spoke very highly of the food and the location's historical significance. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet those expectations. Upon checking in, we were initially directed to a table that had not been cleaned. When my boyfriend politely asked if we could be seated at a booth that was currently being cleared, the host initially agreed. However, she then seated two other guests, who were white and had arrived after us at that same booth. Given the circumstances and the subsequent request to wait for a different table, this incident opened our eyes to potential racial bias, and we felt it was best to leave and dine elsewhere. I believe your host staff would benefit from additional training regarding equitable service and professional conduct. It is truly a shame that our visit was handled in this manner, as we had hoped for a much more welcoming evening. I wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope that it helps improve your service for future guests.

Yeah, it's tender, but lacks the nice beefy flavor, so that might be one of the dishes they could add more salt to or have a strong sauce to go with it. Everyone's tastes differ, but that's based on my personal tastes.

I was a little nervous about making it a luncheon location for my fellow retirees, but one of our group members lives in New Braunfels and said it was a nice place for lunch. She also said it wasn't all that expensive, which had been my main concern since the online menu doesn't list any prices. Anyway, I made a reservation for 12 of us for the last Tuesday in April. Just a few days before, they called to cancel my reservation because they were painting the restaurant. I scrambled and located a new venue for that luncheon, but told my people we would still be going to The Gruene Door, only now it would be for our May luncheon. The restaurant is very nice. The entire place is painted in rich colors. We were at a large table in the middle of a room that had wonderful windows on three sides. The other tables were empty, so it was practically private dining. There were a lot of menu items sampled between our group members. I uncharacteristically took a chance on the meatloaf. Y'all know that I think my wife's is the absolute best version of my meatloaf- my favorite food. Most restaurants disappoint me, even when the meatloaf is pretty good. I will say that the meatloaf served here was very good. I liked the sweet and tangy tomato topping. But, it was nowhere near as good as my wife's. I also must have misread the menu because I was expecting mashed potatoes. The fingerling potatoes were a definite disappointment. There was nothing wrong with them. I just prefer mashed potatoes with meatloaf. The item that stole the show for me was the delicious cheese soup made with boch beer. It was so flavorful and creamy. It didn't have that floury consistency so many cheese soups get. To top it off, our server brought us a plate of complementary focaccia bread that was to die for. I dipped it into my soup like a peasant. It was one of the best textural and flavorful pairings I have ever enjoyed. The deserts all sounded delicious. I was really tempted by the creme brule. But, since I only late half of my lunch thanks to my $#@%&*@ diabetic meds, I didn't let myself order it. It isn't something I am supposed to eat, anyway. There were ten of us seated around the table. I did not hear one single complaint about the food. Every comment I heard was positive. By consensus, we will be back next year.

The second level is more seating and a bar. A lot of people were out. A couple "brides to be" with their party were out too. The band was good. Ordered a blueberry mojito. Very nice. Also ordered their flat bread pizza. Loved the bbq sauce that was on it. And picked jalapeños. Great night over all.
