Restaurants in Dripping Springs

“On several trips to England, my wife and I fell in love with cask ale. Alas, upon our return to the states, we were bereft of options; those breweries with British styles (ESBs for example) were not committed to the cask. When we heard about Acopon, we knew that our next trip to Austin had to include a detour to Dripping Springs. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint. We had two styles of bitter, a British-style IPA, and a summer ale--all served on cask, and all the equal of many ales we had in the UK. A true treasure that every beer lover should visit.”

“Best brewery and friendliest folks in Drip! No matter you preference in beer, they have you covered. Great space to hang, inside or out and lots of great food options. Be sure to follow them because they host a lot family friendly events.”

“Throughly enjoyed the pulled pork, ribs, burned ends, turkey and hot links. The customer service is great but Jaime is exceptional! Worth the drive!! Cannot wait to go back!!”

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Drip. The food and service is always great. We also love bringing our granddaughters to play on the playground and splash pad. A great place to bring the entire family. There is something for everyone.”

“I really liked this place! Amazing beer, especially the hazy one! Very deep dense taste, and color???… A very professional approach is felt! It is with the soul and knowledge, as well as love for their work. Using the best quality ingredients. It was like nothing to me!Despite the rainy Saturday, there was amazing live music-guitar. It was wonderful.And I also want to mention the head chef Max! An incredibly radiant person! And what delicious burgers he cooked personally and brought them to his guests! It costs so much!!! Thanks to him!My son Max, 11, and daughter Marianne, 5, were delighted! It was so delicious! The most delicious burgers, they told me, and they are still the same.We also had time to watch our favorite football (of course, HOOK ‘em HORNS ?????) (the very beginning, and yet ☺️!!!).I would recommend this place with the most beautiful territory in any weather! Clean air, and somehow everything feels right, exactly the way it should)! Such a mood of the place!!!”

“We always have an incredible experience. Everyone is so kind!”

“best pie in texas!! Everything they make is delicious, owner is a super nice guy.If I've ever had a better piece I can't remember right where that was!! Stony's is as good as it gets. I would give it 20 stars if I could”

“The brisket is so good, you don't need to add BBQ sauce. It is not often that you can say that. We have eaten there enough times that I am now officially 'a piggy boy'.”

“The best Tripas ever!!!! Don’t miss Raza’s!”

“Me and my employees LOVE this place. It’s SO GOOD! It’s different from Domino’s, Pizza Hut, etc. in every good way 😋🤤”

“Amazing food that just happens to be Indian ❤️ - so many flavors and all so good. Loved the okra and my daughter said the butter chicken was the best she has ever had”

“We needed a last minute breakfast pastry platter for a small wedding venue near by. I was recommend to this place by the owner of Home spun in Dripping Springs. It was 2 minutes to closing time & a very friendly young woman whipped up a beautiful platter for me to deliver to my Daughters future in-laws! Thank you so much!!! I highly recommend this wonderful place! We’ll stop in again sometime & enjoy a coffee & fresh baked pastries 🩷”

“I have been looking forward to trying Abby Jane, grain to table makes me so happy. We bought a donut, almond monkey bread, chocolate babka, and a sourdough loaf (pan). The pastries were amazing, it was 2:40pm and the donut was incredibly soft. The almond monkey bread was just sweet enough and I will be buying my sandwhich bread from them. My only issue was the chocolate babka was a bit dry and burned on the edges.”

“Authentic and amazing pastries. From savory to sweet, the owner knows how to show off the best of Britain! We had Scottish eggs, lamb pastries, cottage pie, chicken curry pastries, and classic sausage pastries. Delish!!”

“Great coffee! It’s a cute little shop.”

“Stopped by here yesterday for the first time ever and hit the drive-through. I ordered a Dirty Chai and as I was driving off, a young lady ran up to tell me she accidentally made it a Dirty Thai. All I gotta say is thank you ma’am you knew what I needed. That was actually really delicious and I want to say thank you. I know you offered to remake it, but it was really good. Maybe it should be a menu item. 💜💜”

“Great people. Veteran owned and operated. Delicious drinks!!”

“It's a neat, simple, small Texas bar. The highlights are the staff (Ryann!!) , the people that go there, the prices, the local beers and the musicians that go there several nights a week.

Be real tho. It's a small Texas bar and sometimes it's hot as heck in Texas so don't expect a downtown Austin beerdo experience.”

“We love Fitzhugh! They’re great to take the kids to on the weekends, they also host these amazing beer dinners for a fun date night! Great space, best staff, can’t beat the beer— Highly recommend!”

“The best pizza I’ve ever had and I grew up there in town and went there sometimes but, There pizza very very good. Overall, everything is very positive. The owners are very friendly and nice.”

“Great, beautiful venue! Inside & out spaces, live music, great choices of drinks (mixed cocktails, cans, bottles, & draft beers, & wine)! Awesome owners too! If you haven’t checked it out, you’re missing out!”

“You have to check out this laid-back local DS spot for artisan coffee, cocktails, food trucks, and an inviting indoor and outdoor vibe with picnic tables, plenty of seating, fenced play area, and friendly staff. FairLane checks all the boxes!”

“Used Well yeah many times! Looks great and tastes amazing!”

“Winehouse is such a fun addition to the Dripping Springs community! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it a great place to meet friends, enjoy a glass of wine, and stay awhile. They have an incredibly knowledgeable wine team, including an on-site sommelier, and Chef Julio does an amazing job with the food—the elevated bar bites make the whole experience even better.

I’ve also had the pleasure of getting to know the Winehouse team through Driftwood Living, and you can tell how much they genuinely care about creating a place where people can connect. Great wine, delicious food, live music, and a laid-back Hill Country atmosphere. Definitely a local gem!”

“Thai To-Go is incredible. The spicy chicken Pad Thai is my favorite, and everything I’ve tried on the menu has been delicious. Great service every time. Highly recommend!”

“Our first night out in Dripping Springs, having recently moved from the UK, and so glad we choose Grawlix Lounge to enjoy a drink for our second wedding anniversary. Great atomsphere, and wonderful and friendly staff. I love an Old Fashioned cocktail and this place has several creative variations of their own crafting! I’ve tried 3 (so far) and they are all delicious and perfect mixed. Food was great and perfect for the lounge vibe. Also open to midnight. Definitely recommend and will be back.”

“The flavors of the Gelato were rich and flavorful. Everything was nice and clean and the atmosphere was so cozy. Perfect to have a quick sweet treat and beat the heat.”

“These people know their stuff and y’all should, too. Brilliance & authenticity all around. A testament to the Texas hill country. Get some.”

“I’ve never had such incredible crispy wings! The onion rings were out of this world! So delicious and never fell apart. Their signature rub on their wings was savory and sweet and I also had the lemon pepper, which were incredible! I can’t recommend this place enough”

“I live here with my wife, daughter and 2 pups! We love the community, the beautiful hill country and all the incredible amenities. As a full time Realtor, I’m constantly seeing homes and other communities. To me, Headwaters is one of the best! I’m grateful to have helped over a dozen families buy and sell in Headwaters. 🥰👏👍 Always available to talk about this amazing gem of a community. 512-487-9993”

“Carmelas has got to be the longest lasting good restaurant for Drippin folks along with Thyme and Dough. Consistently great food and service. It goes unnoticed I think because of its location on a small strip of spaces shared with a gas station/convenience store. Family owned. At the corner of RR12 and Hamilton Pool. We have never been dissapointed with their food, desserts, drinks and wine selection.”

“Meaty Boys BBQ was great.
El Jefe sandwich is the move. One of the best Jalapeño and cheese sausages out there, good brisket on a nice sourdough bun.

Priced fair, give it a shot!”

“Great coffee! Had an espresso and hot water (americano). If your looking for a real coffee experience, head to greater goods. They have one size which is appropriate. The tour was awesome as well. Thanks!”

“They have false advertising on 10% on the wall and then refuse to give it. Otherwise they are fine”

“The huge apple pie is my hubby’s favorite! Best gift ever!”

“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.”

“Called in short notice for 2-dozen breakfast tacos. They were extremely fast and extremely delicious! Definitely recommend!!”

“Best bat b que in Texas!!!”

“I love the pizza cave and the staff is very nice but the pizza 🍕is the bomb 💣. I look forward to the next time I'm heading to Austin so I can stop by Dripping Springs, Texas .”

“the food was excellent and the service was very good. Olivia was an excellent and attentive server.”

“What an amazing sandwich. Now, I did not say what I had wanted, except a cold cut. They, as the person sent to get this great sandwich, know me? Yet, I is the greatest taste, freshest bit and my dog will not leave me alone. It's that good. God bless”

“I want to say thanks guys for helping me out today 😍 God Bless you all. I love eating here ❤️❤️❤️. Great service 💙💙💙💙💙”

“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.”

“What an incredible experience as first time guests at Tillie's! Upon entering the restaurant this past Saturday in Dripping Springs, we were immediately greeted with A+ service & hospitality by the Manager, Laurel. She went above & beyond explaining the property & showered us with her passion of this historical landmark. We highly recommend for hosting an event, trying their collection of wines, all summed up for a memorable experience! We cannot wait to come back! ♥️”

“Best food ever please stop here!!!”

“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.”

“We love this Schlotzsky’s - the food is always delicious, hot, fresh, and the folks there are sweet and helpful. My fav is the veggie sandwich (don’t sleep on this even if you eat meat! So fresh!) and my son thinks their mac and cheese is magic.

Today this location went above and beyond for an entire school staff: we had a very short time turnaround request for a whole school luncheon and they were able to create a full lunch for 90 people in just over an hour. Incredible. Not only was the food received with delight, all allergy needs were met - carefully labeled, all extra items packaged thoughtfully, couldn’t have been a more professional and helpful experience. Extra shoutout to Maria, the manager with a heart of gold. Thank you for your tremendous service and always amazing food!”

“Please don’t get me wrong, the waitress was wonderful, and I’m sure the food is great—I haven’t had a chance to eat mine yet since I ordered it to go. I stopped in with my son and a friend to grab my food to go because I had to get to work, while my son and my friend ate there. I didn’t get my to-go burger until the very end of their meal, which made me late for work. When I brought it up to the manager, his response was maybe you should call it in next time and then turned his back on me and walked away. Oh no, you did not just say that! This manager is doing a huge disservice to the restaurant and leaving a bad taste in people’s mouths. Like I said, the waitress was sweet as can be, and I’m hoping the burger is as good as I’ve been told, but the manager does not need to be interacting with customers at all. Until he is gone or his customer service attitude changes, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. The audacity and rudeness he showed from the time I arrived until I left blows my mind. I work in the service industry myself, and I would never even think about talking to someone that way, especially a customer who is supporting my establishment.”

“Good Mexican food, crew were helpful and nice”

“Update to review: Starbucks made it right and gave me credit to get a new drink. Thank you!

This is unacceptable. Ordered a cold brew with a foam top. Got half a cup of coffee and half a cup of cold foam. Ridiculous. Not going even to drink it because it's half a cup of pure sugar cold foam. I just wanted a little foam top like normal with my coffee. It's hardly even coffee at this point.”

“It was great had menudo and it was real good would recommend to others”

“Great food and service overall You can tell they really put in the effort to make sure everything is done right!”
