“Well if anyone needs an excuse to go try a smash burger from The Boss Cheesesteak, this is it lol. Probably one of the best burgers in general that I’ve had in a really long time. I got a triple but ate it before I could get a good pic. It was massive, hot, fresh, cheesy and so filling. 5 stars all around. Tried their #1 cheesesteak yesterday and it also did not disappoint. Am I about to become very fat? Possibly. Is it worth it? Absolutely. Good job boss crew“

“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.“

“We had an amazing dinner experience at the Sixty-three Restaurant at Lakeway Resort and Spa. We were there during our Veteran's Day outing and reserved the restaurant which it was pretty much empty at 5:30pm. We were greeted at the front entrance with big smiles and friendliness. The waiter came immediately and greeted us once again with friendliness and welcoming smile. We ordered cabernet wine which it was full of aroma with some oakiness taste. My wife ordered the Salmon and according to her it was delicious and cooked to perfection. I ordered the filet mignon sandwich and it was very tasty and cooked just right. We will return in the future to eat at this restaurant again.“
