“Such a great anniversary dinner tonight. We were so impressed with the food, drinks and service. We will definitely be back again.”
“Stopped in on our trip from MN. The Bloody Mary is amazing. Whiskey flight was as top notch as their friendly service. Live music and crafted cocktails topped it all off. This place is a must visit if you’re in the area! Can’t say enough good things about them…”
“Neighbors is such a great place to dine with family and friends. Service is wonderful and food is delicious. Gabriel Culiat will definitely recommend them”
“I’ve been there many times over many years. This review isn’t based on one visit. They are friendly and consistent. The prices are fair and the quality of food is to par. They hire hard working locals that have their livelihood invested in the community. Just keep in mind that when your bill is low because of the menu prices, tipping more than the minimum keeps the employees a little less stressed in their personal lives as well as happy at work able to serve you better. Everything I’ve tried on the menu is good”

“★★★★★ ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING — BEST MEXICAN FOOD ANYWHERE If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I’ve traveled all over Texas and across the U.S., and I can say without hesitation that Las Cocinas Mexican Grill is hands-down the BEST Mexican restaurant I have ever been to — and that includes all of Austin. My family and I come here several times a week, even though we don’t live close by. That alone should tell you how incredible this place is. Must-try favorites (do NOT skip these): 🌟 The Margaritas – VERY strong and absolutely perfect. Order them half & half (half on the rocks, half frozen). Trust me — you’ll thank me later. 🌟 Nachos Al Carbon (Appetizer) – The beef fajita meat is out of this world. Tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. Get it with extra sour cream & fresh jalepenos 😉 🌟 Beef Fajitas Cremosas (Entrée) – Get them with EXTRA sun-dried tomatoes. Oh. My. God. I have never had anything like this in my life, and it’s something I crave several times a week. 🌟 Stuffed Jalapeños – So good I sometimes order them as my entire meal. And the onion rings they’re served on? Easily the best onion rings I’ve ever had anywhere. I love ordering a big plate of onion rings with extra ranch. 🏆 🌟 Cheese enchiladas!!!! They have the best Mexican rice & refried beans that I’ve ever tasted. Beyond the food, the staff is absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like family — warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy you’re there. That kind of service is rare, and it’s one of the many reasons this place is so special to us. They are family owned and operated! And yes — I always forget to take pictures of my food because I eat it before I remember to take photos for a review 😂. That should tell you everything you need to know about how good it is. We are incredibly thankful for Las Cocinas. It’s not just our favorite Mexican restaurant — it’s our favorite restaurant, period, and the best in the entire area by a mile. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect in every way.”

“After being clients of Roccos for almost 4 years, last night we had a really bad experience with the owner “male”. I was 5 minutes late to pick up my order after closing time and he told me in a unfriendly tone “I put your order in the garbage” with his back turned and locking the door he said nothing else. He could’ve handled this another way, to me that was very unprofessional and I felt discriminated for being hispanic. Ourselves and other friends won’t be going back to this business.”
“Adriana was amazing! She was super friendly and gave us really good recommendations that made it easy to decide what to get. She had such a welcoming smile and made sure we had a great experience. Great customer service and definitely someone who makes you want to come back! 😊”
“owner was super nice. all that he had left was shrimp gumbo and jambalaya. I knew we wanted gumbo so we got that, and he included some jambalaya for us to try. we enjoyed both. I'm used to gumbo with other stuff (okra or other vegetables) in it which is what my boys don't like. so they were thrilled when they saw the gumbo with just shrimp and broth and the jambalaya was just pork and sausage and gravy. hope to go back and try the etouffe.”

“It’s ok. Not having house made craft beer or cocktails is a bummer but it is a cool spot.”

“Food was good I mean a chain restaurant you should not have 5 star expectations. With that said I was pleased with the meal and price. The staff entertains you while you wait for your food by line dancing. I can’t say anything big took place that was a negative just a solid place all around.”

“BEST Philly Cheesesteaks around with a wide variety. Great prices, warm family-style service, abundant quantities of food. Very clean. Nachos looked really great, huge quantities.”

“Ordered 2 bags of Texas pecan grind 2.2lb bags of coffee. It will not disappoint y’all. The pecans can be tasted in every swig but doesn’t over power the coffee. And when I say it’s the freshest coffee possible I mean the beans in my bag were fresh roasted the day I purchased the bags. 10/10 will be buying for my work coffee from here on out.”
“We've been going here for years. When they started out in the big red building, then moved across the street to the old Shady Oaks building then to the old computer shop where they are now. Sadly the quality has continually dropped. We go for breakfast and most often the food is put on cold plates. Several times parts of the order is missing and shows up at the end of the meal. Charmaine was the head waitress for years who seemed to keep things going in order but she's no longer there.”
“The BBQ and service here is exceptional, my personal favorites is the Original Beef Sausage, Beef Rib, and Chicken. The beans are some of the best beans you'll find anywhere. Coleslaw and Mac n Cheese are decent. Thank you Kelly, and Nathan for your excellent customer service.”
“Best place in town! You gotta come see Michael! He knows his stuff and makes you feel at home! He is very knowledgeable with the whole menu! He won’t let you down!”

“I had the gyro and feta omelet after a discussion with Ryan (barista) about "keeping the menu Greek" WWOOWW!! not just so, so, so good! but so, so, so, so Greek!! -- then the dude brings me a complimentary bite of an upcoming menu item: avocado lime zest toast. I am undone. If you haven’t yet, you have to try this place!”
“Hands down one of the best coffee shop experiences I’ve had! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming — you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The breakfast croissants were absolutely perfect — warm, flaky, and flavorful. The coffee hit the spot too — rich, smooth, and just what I needed to start the day. The whole place has a cozy, family-friendly vibe that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Sunday I woke up craving some authentic Mexican food, particularly a gordita, and found this hidden gem! I’ve lived in Bastrop for 2 years now and am disappointed that I’m barely discovering this place. The Gordita did not disappoint!! The meat was tender, juicy, and delicious! My wife enjoyed her street tacos, the Al pastor was her favorite! But it was the quesabirria that stole the show! The dipping juice was so flavorful and they gave us plenty of it! They were sold out of the tripas when we went so def will be going back to try that! Friendly service and delicious food! Can’t beat it!!”
“Excellent place , the food is all fresh and really good quality I can't believe there's a place like this in Bastrop!! It's one of my favorites now , they are open until really late at night 11-12 !! Finally a place where you can go at night and treat yourself to a place that it's really worth it.”
“Typically eat dinner, but went in to try their breakfast. Not as good. I added hashbrowns to my order, and to my surprise and disappointment, received a potato pattie. Like they serve at McDonalds. After seeing my brothers potatoes, I asked for a side of those and mentioned I was disappointed about the hasbrowns. She agreed, but charged us for both sides. I will not return for breakfast.”
“Best place hands down! so good and its easy to get what you want.. love Spencer hes amazing and very kind when ordering stuff to go..”
“The Slice Beef Sandwiches, I Can't Stop Thinking About Them! A Texas Treasure!”

“We just moved to Bastrop from the DFW area . Looking for breakfast tacos on our first Saturday in the new place and came across this place... Papusas were AMAZING! Breakfast tacos were awesome, too.. A very short wait, but well worth it to enjoy fresh Papusas...”
“I can’t say enough good things about Lab C. The staff is so friendly, the restaurant is clean, and the food… the food is absolutely phenomenal!!! Whether you dine in or take it to go. I get the beef stir fry plate and sub in fried rice. It’s amazing, and I crave it way too often.. Eat here! You won’t regret it!!!”
“If you want a smile on your face in the mornings or any other time, go eat at her trailer. Clean place and the best darn Big tacos too, not skimpy like a lot of the other trailers . 1441 and Green Valley on the corner. We’ve eaten there many times, she also makes tortillas .”
“Overall I am happy with the store but the meat market and curbside service needs to step up their game. I got 2 packages of cube steak and one looks like thin cut chicken nugget sized pieces and the other is normal sized and thickness. The cutter should have known better and the person who worked the order should have known better Also, the meat dept seldom has more than 1 or 2 choice packer briskets. They will have 8 or 10 "wagyu" and Prime briskets but those are sinificantly more expensive.”
“The food is always good here and the service as well but sharing so people are aware today was a very bad day. Got served by a gentlemen today, very gruff, not pleasant at all, seemed very put out to serve us. He dropped the food and never came back We went to check out and he just said $40 which was odd. He charged us $40 so I asked for an itemized receipt. it was $39.02. He would have gotten a much better tip had he been honest.”
“This is one of my favorite restaurants in Bastrop! Frey is a gem of a human, and when I brought my kids she was so kind. The food is always delicious and freshly made. The butter chicken is my favorite!”

“My wife took me to this gem for my birthday. They were open for takeout only, but when they learned it was my birthday, they brought us inside, and Giovanni served us personally. The combo gumbo was absolutely DELICIOUS, and my wife had a superb catfish fillet sandwich with onion rings. If you haven't tried this restaurant yet, do yourself a favor and experience the best food in all of Bastrop.”

“Nothing like that Popeyes chicken on a busy hump-day to get you through the week. We especially like the red beans and rice. The family meals are always a good option for the take out or drive through window. Watch for coupons and you may achieve an exceptional deal. This location always has great service and the employees are very friendly.”

“I highly recommend stopping and grabbing a drink from Sunshine Sisters Coffee. Sydnie was a perfect blend of professional and friendly as she took the orders during the bustle after a local event. I enjoy a good lavender London fog, and their sunshine milk (cream with touches of vanilla, toffee, and white mocha) was a nice addition to a long time favorite drink. My children, budding connoisseurs of cocoa and Chai lattes, also really enjoyed their beverages. Next time we pass through, I am definitely stopping again.”
“We had pineapple rice, Tom Kha, Broccoli stir fry, shrimp spring rolls and Khao Soi. Dessert: Mango, sticky rice and coconut cream. All hot. You chose your level of spicyness. Medium was perfect. Loop 150 at 95. Near the hummingbird statue. Tell your friends. I can not wait to go again. Excellent!!!”
“I've been to SM at least once a week, usually twice since they've come to Bastop. Their food has been absolutely fabulous every single time. Not once since I've gone have I had a single complaint. In fact, I was dining in the other day and my 2 year old grandbaby accidentally dumped her macaroni and cheese on the floor. We cleaned it up and gave her something else from our plate. The guy behind the counter saw what happened and came over with a fresh serving of macaroni and cheese on the house. Well above and beyond service. Love this place and will continue to visit often.”
“Jeremiah’s Italian Ice never disappoints! The flavors are fresh and delicious, the staff is friendly, and the service is quick. I highly recommend the Mango layers ice cream the perfect combination of tangy mango Italian ice and creamy ice cream, making it both refreshing and smooth. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating area, and my pup even got a small ice cream treat for free, which was a nice touch. A great spot for a sweet treat, and I’ll definitely be back!”
“Used to drive by these a lot in Houston, decided to stop by and give it a try as my husband loves smoothies and wow wish we would've tried sooner. Smoothie tasted fresh, the staff was friendly, and I think I was in there less than 10 minutes. Recommend giving it a try!”
“We typically enjoy this breakfast spot off Main Street. A little disappointed with our most recent visit. The flavor was great but I ordered a bacon burrito and there was only one piece. Doesn’t seem like enough for $11 burrito. Coffee and pastry were good. Hope this was a just fluke and they add more bacon throughout the burrito next time. We will still give them another shot!”
“I ordered online and picked up. This was my first time at the Bastrop location. I had the tuna sandwich on wheat with Miss Vickie's bbq chips. It was very tasty and they really filled the sandwich. The parking lot was full but I found a spot around back. Wish we could get Doordash to deliver! All in all, great experience and I will return!”
“Amazing brisket! Easy to get to and great staff 😙”
