New American Restaurants near Bastrop, TX

“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“

“We traveled to Austin over Memorial Day weekend and had an absolutely amazing dinner at Stories. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. Our waitress was fantastic—unfortunately, I forgot her name—but she provided warm, attentive service that made the evening even more memorable.

The steak was one of the best we’ve ever had. It was so tender that it practically melted in your mouth—no knife needed, like cutting through butter! Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious.

To top it all off, our waitress surprised us with a complimentary dessert shaped like a peach. It was not only stunning to look at but also delicious. Compliments to the pastry chef for such a beautiful and creative masterpiece.

Stories was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Austin, and we look forward to returning the next time we’re in town. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
