“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.“

“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.“

“Not sure why I haven’t left a review since I’ve eaten here so frequently. What prompted me to write this today was because of how well the manager handled an issue from an order I placed over the weekend. I asked about the order being remade days later and explained what happened and the manager was so kind and explained the standards they have (which I feel to be excellent). I have work lunches here and get take out about twice a month for my wife and I on the weekends. Always great food and fast service. Mistakes will always happen so it’s great to know staff will take care of customers. Route 12 will continue to be our families go to spot in Dripping. Better Cheddar Burgers, chicken fried chicken and Cajun pasta are the 3 dishes I rotate ordering.“

“Found this great spot in Lakeway Texas by luck. I had a Southern Burger and a Steak Wedge salad. The waitress then told me that first time visitors get a sample of their chocolate cake. It was perfect! Waitress told me all about the history of the establishment and why they call it the League (I won’t ruin it for you). Good food, good people… give them a try.“

Again thank you to the front desk staffs, their manager, the hotel staffs, spa, and onsite restaurants! Happy new year ! K-j/G-J“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“We love beachside Billy’s/volente beach! It’s super chill and low key fun. The toddler area is perfect for the little ones. We enjoyed this summer so much and look forward to next summer. I also really love the toddler time events. I don’t know about other parents, but I’m a single mom who has been drowning and the toddler time is such a nice escape for me and my kids. So grateful it’s been weekly! Thank you! 🙏“

“I love this place! It’s clean, has friendly staff, and mouth watering brisket.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best classic tex-mex around!“

“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!“

“Super hole in the wall, good food, good atmosphere!! Loved it!!!! Kids played pool and drew with sidewalk chalk. Did I mention the food was GREAT! A big thanks to our awesome server!“

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

“Pluckers Wing Bar.💯🙏🇨🇱♥️🤪“

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

“Food was great, got sauced (Nashville hot) chicken crispers with the three for me and was some of the best fried chicken I’ve had in a while, very very fresh and the fries were also great. Service was perfect as our waiter was there when needed, and occasionally refilled our drinks when they were nearly empty.“

“This is one of the most amazing restaurants I've ever been to. And, it's more than a restaurant. It's a must see attraction with the best view of Lake Travis, and by far the most magnificent spot to watch a Texas sunset. When in Austin, the Oasis calls!“
