“Listen. If you are in BCS and don’t eat here. It’s a crime. Seriously the best fried chicken I have had in the 35 years since my Great Grandmother passed. One bite and time fell away and I was a kid at Gma’s house. There is a reason it’s called soul food.“

“My wife and I ate here tonight 12/29/2025. We were greeted immediately upon entering and were seated quickly. Our waitress was Lauren who was at our table after being seated. She provided excellent service and is very knowledgeable of the menu, and made great recommendations for our meal. We both had the 10 ounce sirloin steaks that were grilled to perfection. Lauren checked on us routinely to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks again for a great dinner !!!“

“We added brunch at the restaurant after our morning Harvest Experience at Messina Hof, and I’m so glad we did! After spending the morning harvesting and stomping grapes, it was the perfect way to finish the experience.

The brunch buffet had a great variety, but what made it especially memorable was that the dishes incorporated Messina Hof wines into the recipes. It was such a fun continuation of everything we had just learned about the vineyard and winemaking, and made the meal feel much more connected to the winery than a standard brunch.

There were plenty of options for the kids as well, so everyone found something they liked. For the adults, the sangria was a great last taste of a Messina Hof wine :) We also appreciated the to-go boxes if you wanted to get on your way and the option to sit more casually at the picnic tables outside (which we did).

We spent about 3.5 hours at Messina Hof altogether with the harvest, grape stomp and brunch, and never felt rushed.

A really fun way to experience Texas wine beyond just a traditional tasting!“

“The person at the register called me baby and I knew I was safe.
Sometimes you go through life thinking your youth is over—there is nothing left to learn, but then you end up here and realize you don’t know everything and there is so much about life to discover.
Hot Dogs etc is like if you were swimming in a pool and then someone’s mom (maybe yours?) made you a hot dog. And you eat it up num num num and go back in the pool.
This is more of what we need in America.
The All American Hot Dog—truly is all American.“
