“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.“

“Route 12 Filling Station is a fantastic spot. The food is great, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is absolutely amazing. Every visit has been a positive experience, and it's clear they take pride in what they do.
The only downside is the fly situation. Both inside and outside, the flies can be pretty overwhelming and take away from an otherwise excellent dining experience. I'm still giving 5 stars because the food, service, and overall experience deserve it, but I hope ownership will invest in some fly traps or another effective solution to address the problem.“

“We love the League Avs especially Lonnie!!“

“Every one so friendly and welcoming and clean 🌺“

“A very fun place with exceptionally good food! The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back..“

“The burger was really good but disappointed that the advertised shoestring fries are way too thick. Shoestring fries are roughly 1/8 inch thickness, their fries are 1/3 to 1/4 inch at best. So at least twice the thickness of actual shoestring fries. They should just call them fries.“

“We love the League Avs especially Lonnie!!“

“Food was always delicious and made to order. Those working the truck were always super nice and you can tell they were working hard! Prices are very reasonable. Definitely give this place a shot! Pictured is the chipotle popper cheeseburger.“

“3 year playing in the Bear Trap. Staff was excellent, the members were welcoming!“

“Took my mom there for her birthday today. She wanted to come hit some golf balls since that’s all I talk about now is golfing, and eating at the Bunker. Seared Tuna was perfect!!! Love this place! #LakeLife“

“We have eaten at this restaurant numerous times and it is the go to place when we have company at our Lakehouse and for special occasions. It is always great. Every dish we have tried (and we have tried most of them) is spectacular. I laughed at Keith W’s review where he complains about the ambiance and atmosphere without giving any specifics. The ambiance and atmosphere of this restaurant needs no improvements. Each dining room is exquisite with beautiful outdoor views from floor to ceiling glass walls. Dzintra, do nothing different. You rock! If you feel the need to do anything, maybe lower the prices a bit instead of wasting any money on ambience/atmosphere!“

“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.“

“We came in from a horrible traffic jam on my birthday week and they welcomed us with warm gesture and really took care of us! The next day they sent us an amazing birthday gifts!! I am definitely coming back this year with additional family members !! Room, food, pools, spa and hospitality deserves 5 star!! 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!!“

“This place is amazing. Probably the best Christmas event around Austin! Even better than the trail of lights. A-MA-ZING“

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

“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.“

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

“Best classic tex-mex around!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“I can’t believe this happened to us tonight at OUR favorite place…. Prior to celebrating my daughter’s 17th birthday, I checked your app specifically to join a waitlist, as this is her favorite restaurant. The app clearly showed no waitlist available. To confirm, I also called the Alamo Ranch location and was explicitly told there was no wait. Upon arrival, however, we were informed the wait time was over an hour, directly contradicting both the app and the information provided by staff. We then drove to the Landmark location, again under the impression that there was no wait. After arriving to check in a party of eight, we were told there would be another hour-long wait. This resulted in more than an hour and a half wasted driving between locations, based entirely on inaccurate and misleading information. This experience was unacceptable, unprofessional, and completely avoidable. I have been a loyal customer for over 10 years, and I have never encountered this level of incompetence, especially during what was meant to be a meaningful celebration for my daughter. Instead, the evening was ruined due to misinformation and poor communication at both locations. If your app cannot accurately reflect wait times or waitlist availability, it should not be relied upon at all. Either restore the ability to book through Yelp or immediately fix the functionality of your application. The current system is misleading customers and wasting their time. This experience left me extremely disappointed and frustrated. I will be sharing this incident publicly to reflect the unprofessionalism and poor customer service we received unless corrective action is taken. At a minimum, this issue deserves acknowledgment and a clear explanation of how it will be addressed moving forward.“

“Food is always amazing, staff is beyond friendly! My waiter even offered to put my spicy seasoning on the side because my spice tolerance is low 😂
My one and only complaint is that the place could really use a deep clean.. The tables are sometimes sticky and you can see smudges of people's hands on some of the walls and booth boards.“

“Had a wonderful dinner experience at Oasis at Lake Travis! The food and drinks were ok, but the real showstopper was the breathtaking sunset over the lake. Watching the sun go down while dining outdoors is an experience you simply cannot put into words. The atmosphere is magical during golden hour — relaxed, scenic, and truly memorable. Absolutely worth a visit for a special evening out!“
