50 Best American Restaurants near Bee Cave

“We love the League Avs especially Lonnie!!“

“I had the pork belly tacos, they were incredible. Finely chopped into small cubes, some had a meaty rich texture and some were perfectly crunchy. The bacon jam added a smoky BBQ flavor and a moistness bringing it all together.

Wife had the green chili Mac and Cheese with added crispy chicken. It was creamy and flavorful. Without the chicken it might have been disappointing due to the seemingly low amount of sausage, but with it the protein and crispy bits were perfectly balanced.

Kid had chicken tenders and to our surprise, they were hand breaded. A bit steep at $10, but made up for in quality.

The service was great once we got in, may drink refills, food in quick time, nice server. However, it seems they pull the host to help tidy up the front of the house and we stood for several minutes waiting for anyone to come to the host stand. Not a deal breaker, but you might be awkwardly standing for a few minutes.“

“Good food, good bartenders, good staff. Definitely worth a drink or two!“

“Food was excellent, great portion, service great… Gold Star to Crystal for her smile and attention and good attitude!!!!“

“Food is always amazing, staff is beyond friendly! My waiter even offered to put my spicy seasoning on the side because my spice tolerance is low 😂
My one and only complaint is that the place could really use a deep clean.. The tables are sometimes sticky and you can see smudges of people's hands on some of the walls and booth boards.“

“Food, drinks, service! Can’t beat any of it at Jack Allen’s! Our favorite spot for the past 10 years!“

“Love this place! Great food, great atmosphere, and great people. It’s truly high-quality and consistently delicious.“

“My wife and I travel frequently to Austin and have for a number of years. With two of our children here, we have dined out at many of Austin's finest restaurants. I am a partner in a number of businesses in Sonoma County, California, including golf courses, theaters and a restaurant. I am rarely motivated to write a restaurant review, particularly a glowing review. My wife found Oz. Tap House online and it was very close to our hotel. My personal experience with tap houses is that they have great beer, but mediocre food and generally less than mediocre service. I went online and looked at the menu, still not particularly enthusiastic. But I decided to place a dinner order for my wife and I and was immediately blown away by the online ordering system. Virtually every menu item can be custom ordered in a dizzying variety of ways. I even remarked to my wife that it was the finest online ordering software that I had ever seen. But ordering is one thing and execution is another. My wife ordered the Oz. House Burger (Beef), cooked medium, substituting lettuce wrap for the bun and adding avocado with a small avocado jalapeno side salad. Again, the customization options were many. I ordered the Charcuterie Pretzel and a Side Caesar Salad, with no croutons. I knew the restaurant was only a couple of minute drive, but even then the speed of the announcement of the projected pickup time and the time itself was amazing; less than 15 minutes. When I picked up the meals at curbside, I told the waitress how impressed I had been with the online ordering system and she thanked me and told me she would have to tell her husband. Turns out Krista and her husband, Sean, own and operate the restaurant. I had assumed with the level of sophistication that it must be a franchise or chain, but no, Oz. is a true mom and pop restaurant. When leaving I told Krista that the proof would be in (i) whether the delivered food matched the order and (ii) the quality of the food. I had barely started eating when my wife announced that her salad was spectacular and the burger one of the best she had ever had. My meal was every bit as impressive. Again, uncharacteristically for me, I called Krista (even though the restaurant was hopping and I knew she was busy), just to tell her that the food was as good or better than the service. This is as advertised: true farm-to-market fare, exceedingly fresh, expertly prepared as ordered and quickly delivered. Yes, Oz. may not have McDonald's prices, but it has infinitely superior food, expertly prepared and efficiently delivered. We admittedly didn't even try what was probably the standout feature of the restaurant: the beer. I assume if the restaurant part of the tap house was spectacular, the beer side of it must be even more so. Next time. Do yourself a favor and try the Oz. Tap House. My very best wishes to Krista and Sean on a very successful business in a tough industry.“

“Yes, everyone calm down.It's your famous reviewer, youtuber.But more than that , I just want to say that I cannot wait to stop by here at texas toast's breakfast and burgers when I come to Austin Texas visit. i never been more excited to stop at our location to do a review for because word of mouth is the breakfast is crazy good.“

“Route 12 is a great place if you are looking for family friendly, a wide variety of food choices ( everything from kids pizza to grilled chicken), while keeping it within budget. They have an outdoor splash pad for the kids and indoor dining as well. We had a party of 12 and were able to call ahead so our table was reserved and ready for us! Parking is no problem here.“

“Cypress Grill is my favorite Restaurant. Everything was excellent. The food was delicious today and you don’t need any improvements.“

“Every one so friendly and welcoming and clean 🌺“

“July is the best bartender, she has a very kind soul , always doing her job as a dedicated bartender/ server should do . I’ll be coming back to support and eat 🩵“

“One of Lakeway’s gems. Delicious food, fun events, and supportive of the community.“

“Had dinner at Homespun last night. Our first time there. It was WONDERFUL! The CF Steak & CF Chicken were absoultely delicious. Prices were reasonable. My only disappointment was that the veggie side dish servings were quite small. Otherwise, a wonderful meal. Servers were very courteous and knowledgeable. Can't wait to visit Homespun again.“

“Food was great, hot and fresh. Store was very clean. Management should be commended. Would eat there again.“

“Love this place…great food, service and atmosphere!! My fav lake Travis spot!!“

“We have eaten at this restaurant numerous times and it is the go to place when we have company at our Lakehouse and for special occasions. It is always great. Every dish we have tried (and we have tried most of them) is spectacular. I laughed at Keith W’s review where he complains about the ambiance and atmosphere without giving any specifics. The ambiance and atmosphere of this restaurant needs no improvements. Each dining room is exquisite with beautiful outdoor views from floor to ceiling glass walls. Dzintra, do nothing different. You rock! If you feel the need to do anything, maybe lower the prices a bit instead of wasting any money on ambience/atmosphere!“

“3 year playing in the Bear Trap. Staff was excellent, the members were welcoming!“

“Took my mom there for her birthday today. She wanted to come hit some golf balls since that’s all I talk about now is golfing, and eating at the Bunker. Seared Tuna was perfect!!! Love this place! #LakeLife“

“Awesome pizza. Awesome meatballs. Love this place. (Would love it even more if you opened one in Belterra Village on 290.)“

“Went to Angel's bc of local recommendations. So glad we did. Was busy but got sat inside right away. We had the Chili Willie, Wings and ribeye salad. AMAZING. Best ranch water I've had as well. Jay was THE BEST server.“

“Considering that I'm a vegetarian and this is (obviously) a very meat-y restaurant, this was a very good experience. Staff were friendly and welcoming, the decor is elegant, the semi-outdoor seating was pleasantly breezy on a hot day (I could do without the huge TVs, but that's me). I simply wanted to get a quick drink with an old friend and we chose Carve purely because of its location. We arrived during their happy hour (which starts at 3:00). We ordered a couple of tasty cocktails and an order of the cheesy cauliflower sticks -- delicious! The happy hour prices certainly made me happy, and the charming waiter checked back in at sensible intervals and remained good humored and attentive even when it must have become obvious that we were not going to be ordering more. I noticed that the menu includes some attractive vegetarian/vegan options and will bear Carve in mind for family celebration meals where there are carnivores as well as vegetarians to feed. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that they failed to include the tip I thought I'd added to the credit card slip and I realized when I checked my account that I hadn't left a tip at all -- apologies if that was my fault!!“

“Beautiful setting - Pleasant atmosphere - Excellent food - Felt like a special treat!“

“We came in from a horrible traffic jam on my birthday week and they welcomed us with warm gesture and really took care of us! The next day they sent us an amazing birthday gifts!! I am definitely coming back this year with additional family members !! Room, food, pools, spa and hospitality deserves 5 star!! Again thank you to the front desk staffs, their manager, the hotel staffs, spa, and onsite restaurants! Happy new year ! K-j/G-J“

“Awsome food, employees and management. Keep up the great work“

“This place is amazing. Probably the best Christmas event around Austin! Even better than the trail of lights. A-MA-ZING“

“The sports bar had an effortless energy that made it an easy place to settle in and stay awhile. Big screens wrapped the room so you never missed a play, no matter where you sat. The crowd was lively but not overwhelming, striking a perfect balance between excitement and comfort. The bartenders were fast, friendly, and clearly knew their craft. Drinks came out cold, food came out hot, and everything tasted better than expected. The lighting, music, and layout all worked together to create a laid-back but electric vibe. It felt like the kind of place you’d return to without even thinking twice.“

“Wow! The lemon poppy seed french toast is the bomb! Delicious!!! Too bad it's only seasonal......“

“Nice spot to pop in while I was in town on Business. Friendly and refreshing atmosphere. I’ll be back to visit if I ever get back to Austin.“

“DAVID IS THE BEST, one of the sweetest people EVER, true southern hospitality. He was so busy tonight and I eat out a ton and I’ve never seen a harder worker in my lifetime of eating out. Thank you David for your kindness! You made me and my families night!!!! Never stop being you“

“We ate at the San Antonio location. Best dining experience in a long time. Food, service, cleanliness. Definitely a stopping point when we’re traveling through again.“

“Also i feel that the Waitress at the Burlington NJ location is kind and welcoming to me & my husband who are older. We appreciate how she talks about new items to try. I will definitely request her area to sit since she is full time waitress“

“We were at Captain Pete's a few weekends ago with friends. it has been a while, but we watched the incredible sunset and had the best waitress Angie! Although they were busy Angie was phenomenal!“

“They’ve treated our familia like we’re their familia for years❣️ I recommend EVERYTHING…from the food and drinks to the awesome staff there! I LOVE these guys❣️“

“Awsome food, employees and management. Keep up the great work“

“Best classic tex-mex around!“

“My wife and I had a wonderful lunch experience here on a relaxing Friday afternoon. The burgers were fantastic, the potato salad and tomato soup excellent, and the iced tea refreshing. They have really nice outside seating that is shaded, coupled with a very nice indoor space. If you are in River Place or nearby, this place is a great lunch option. Their prices cannot be beat, and the lady who took our order and made our food was very helpful and kind.“

“Ski Shores Cafe on Lake Austin is the ultimate spot to chill with great food and drinks. It's got a laid-back vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends or family. Friendly staff and weekend live music enhance the experience. It's my top pick for easygoing meals, especially by boat. Just a tip: dock on the side for easier access on busy days, as front slips can be tricky with boat waves.“

“Me and my friends think the gas station's fried chicken is the best in Drippin'. They tried the others and they never went back.“

“Our waitress Ms. Stephanie was awesome! I prefer this location over any of them. Everything was yummers! They offer lunch specials also. I had steak & lobster tail which was delicious!! There was only 1 issue, but it was handled quickly without any issues.“

“Great brunch, Awesome food!!!!! Recommend it highly!“

“People were nice and food good“

“First timer. Main dining room was being remodeled. The second dining room was open , but it was bit noisy. Fortunately it was a nice day to eat outside on their patio. They had put up wind breakers which was nice as it was pretty breezy. The music was a bit loud, so the server turned it down immediately upon request. The food and drinks were very good, our server, Beau, was very attentive. I hope we get a chance to go back soon.“

“I really like the venue for sports and the service is great….but PLEASE turn down the air conditioning!! I go outside to warm up, and then always bring my jacket inside so I don’t freeze. Why does it need to be SO cold 🥶“

“genuinely great experience. never knew that a mall clothing department store could have a fire cafe.

we were hosted by Scott. he was charismatic & kind, great at conversation & patient with us newcomers. we were served by Steven (i believe, deep apologies if i got that wrong), who was attentive and helpful.

i will only eat there while at the mall from now on

good coffee & sandwiches too“
