13 Best American Restaurants near Bastrop

“Dani provided excellent service. She was funny and knowledgeable. The chicken fried steak was fabulous. Wife had the chicken fried chicken and it to was amazing. The outdoor dining area provided for a great ambiance.“

“Came here for the first time and totally understand the wait! Excellent staff and great food!“

“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“

“Denny's service and wait time is much better service and food was great“

“Great food and very friendly staff, will definitely visit again ❤️“

“The place is such a cool country town kind of place. Absolutely loved the staff, they were slam packed and they still had time to check on us. The food was pretty good, eggs cooked wonderfully which is why I hate to say anything negatively but if I was pushed to say anything the biscuits need improvement. These were like dinner rolls in my opinion. Loved everything else! The service like I said was phenomenal and the place was clean, busy and lively. Didn't feel crowded even in a crowd.“

“Whenever I come here, I usually get set in Ilana’s section. She is amazing! Very friendly, on top of refilling my drinks, and actually cares about getting you want you want. 10/10 would recommend !!“

“Had to have some type of beef when visiting Texas! The Texas Wagyu looked intriguing since wagyu is typically Japanese related and considered top notch. It was delightfully tasty and the toasted bun added a mild crunchy texture as well. I may have to order before departing!“

“14 years ago we celebrated our wedding and started our married life at a previous iteration of this restaurant at the Hyatt Lost Pines. This year we happened to be close so we made a special effort to come back to the restaurant and celebrate our anniversary at the restaurant.
We are so glad we did. We were made very welcome and really enjoyed our meal.
The restaurant tables and chairs are very comfortable, but an uncommon problem in most restaurants was that the table for two was quite large and it was difficult to talk across the table. Fortunately our very nice server, who I think was called Kelby, proposed turning the table 90 degrees so we could both sit on the same side. A perfect solution.
Kelby also suggested sharing dishes on the menu and that worked perfectly for us. We started our sharing with an appetizer called The Slice, which was half an iceberg lettuce with a delicious cheese sauce, two halves of a hard blood egg and cherry tomatoes.
We continued our sharing with crab cakes then completed our sharing with a Porterhouse steak for 2 accompanied by fall vegetables and smashed potatoes. All were washed down by generous portions of Scattered Peaks sauvignon blanc and J Lohr Hilltop Cabernet.
It was a delightful meal, we enjoyed our visit to Stories restaurant at the Hyatt Lost Pines a lot.
Thank you also to the valet parking at the hotel front door who looked after our car.“

“I was there for a conference and the folks there at the bar were awesome. Matt at the bar had great original twists on classic themes. He's a real mixologist. The other two folks at the bar were super cool too. I can't remember the blond lady's name, but she had an accent and had just moved from Chicago. Everyone was super nice.“

“Talk about incredible service with a smile. Greeted each time you walk through the door. I was taken aback by the friendliness because you don't encounter that much anymore. Adam was so sweet. I would go back just to see him. They also make a GREAT Starbucks Pumpkin Spiced Latte. It literally saved my mornings.“
