“I stumbled on this place through an Instagram post (which normally is more hype than substance), but dang this place is great. The burger was perfect, huge, and a great price. I got a side of tots that were cooked to perfection. This is my new favorite burger spot in town. Highly recommend.“
“My husband and I ordered the burger and the fish tacos. The portions are large and the food was absolutely amazing! So many flavors that went perfectly together. We will be back as often as we can. Chef Travis was so personable and professional. The only suggestion I have is to add some lighting to the exterior of Speakeasy. We placed our order after 7pm and it was hard to see the footing as we walked.“
“First - the dining room is simple and beautiful. We thought we might be underdressed, but once the dining room filled up the diners were very casual. Service was great. The server made a couple recommendations, stopped by some, but not too often. The food was the best part. At our table we had the butternut salad, Louie's salad, stuffed butternut squash main meal, chicken marsala, and mac and cheese. Everything tasted wonderful. Portion size was large enough that I can make 1 or 2 meals out of what was left. Highly recommend.“
“First off let me say the servers and the manger were FANTASTIC! I had the chicken fried steak and the wife had the fish,both were exceptionally delicious....Outside of the stare and glares, from other tables the experience was wonderful, thank you staff......now if the town could just get comfortable with seeing black people.“
“Really nice pub with a great selection of beers. However it was the food that was amazing and really surprised me! I wasn't expecting that from a place that primarily focuses on their beer. But it was really good! The beer is of course good too. We went in the afternoon, between lunch and dinner so there was only one worker but he was great. Super friendly, got our order perfect, and was attentive to getting us drink refills. I highly recommend this place!“
“Best breakfast on 281 between San Antone and Lampasas.Food 5⭐️sI had Chess Club Bfast...Eggs, home fries, sausage, toast. The toast was homemade half white, half wheat, eggs done perfectly over easy. Can you screw up OE eggs....yes by overlooking. Not at Chess Club. Home fries were done fine. Sausage not your outta the box restaurant sausage.Wife had a bacon omelette....she said was perfect.Service 5⭐️sService was spot on....we were there on a Wed AM, and they were not real busy. But the waiter kept checking on us. The "staff" was joking....very friendly crew.Bakery 5⭐️s .....Wow. Cinnamon rolls, Dinner plate size Snickerdoodle cookies.Atmosphere 5⭐️s. Dine inside an old house or outside on picnic (and other ) options. Eclectic comes to mind.The Chess Club Cafe gets 10⭐️s on the price to value equation.Given the quality and VOLUME of food PLUS their prices have NOT recieved the now normal BIDENFLATION UPTICK.If you are needing some sustenance and are running up or down 281...or for that matter anywhere near Blanco Chess Club has the best food for your $.
