“Cool spot with live music, a great backyard space, strong drinks and good looking food (I did not have a bite but I saw every dish that came out of the kitchen while sitting at the bar by the service station). Portions are generous! It looks like a lot of folks going there are regulars. Bartenders were friendly and working hard for their money. It closes at 1 am and it seems to get busy from 6 pm on. Ample parking right out front.“
“COLDEST BEER I THINK I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! Seriously, a great little place where you can sit outside under the shade and enjoy the COLD ?!!!! Or step inside to a warm and rustic atmosphere! A band was setting up, but we had to get home...next time!!!“
“This is such a unique lakeside establishment. It's one of my favorite destinations in Austin. The food is pretty good but some dishes leave room for improvement. The flavor is there but lacks in presentation and limited ingredients. The atmosphere and service are top notch. This is definitely a whole in the wall neighborhood Vibing place but the patrons are exteremly welcoming, making you feel like you are a regular. Great family and pet friendly place to watch the sunset over the lake or throw a company party.Kid-friendliness: Kids seem to always be welcome and loved by all. Lots of room for them to explore.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking and ramps indoors. Patio access is limited“
“Yesterday, Sat. May 20,2023 we celebrated my wife Nicki turning 70. The level of customer service was outstanding. We had 70 people on the patio. The buffet style food set up, drink station, desert table was fantastic and efficient. All the food was excellent. They had a microphone available for us to use when talking to the whole group. Many favorable comments from our guests. Special shout out to Shelby, the cake lady!! The cake and cupcakes were super and were set up in attractive display. Britany was our head server. She and her staff worked hard and efficiently, catering to our guests requests/needs. I would highly recommend the Lighthouse to anyone for occasions like this. During the planning for the party I had many questions/requests. They were all met with "sure you can do that" or "we can do that". Robin and Samantha made their experience and expertise readily available to me at all times. It was a great help and much appreciated. The "happy birthday Nicki" display atop the lighthouse visible from the parking lot was a really cool. Robin and Samantha and their entire staff made this the special occasion that I wanted it to be. I am glad I chose the Lighthouse for this special occasion.“
“Had not been here for a long time. It's not that I don't like the place but I live in north Austin got you about 25 or 30 miles from my house. After all these years they still have some of the best burgers in town. Stopped there on my way back from Marble Falls to have lunch. The bartender was very friendly and nice. Ended up getting a Poodie melt with fries. One of the best I've ever had! Just a few regulars in the place early in the afternoon but I'm sure it's jamming tonight with some live music and it's a great outdoor deck. Almost makes me want to move out to Spicewood so I can go there on a regular basis. One of my best friends loved the place and used to go out there all the time. He used to be friends with the original owner Poodie Locke. Don't miss it if you're out that way!“
“Picture yourself walking into a garage… am I in the right place? The sign said open… it even said FREE tasting… ? it seems pretty easy to hide a body out here… NONSENSE! You’ve arrived. This hidden gem of a distillery is the behind the curtain reveal. This is how the magic happens. The air is filled with the aroma of botanicals and maybe a hint of the neighbors yellow lab puppy wandering in. You're greeted at Revolution Spirits by true creatives eager to introduce you to their craft. But before you explore the distillery, let's start with what brought you here - the gin! This is not your average gin, but a liquid masterpiece that has been carefully distilled with a blend of juniper, ROSEMARY, lavender, lemongrass, and Texas grapefruit.Don’t leave without a bottle* of La Dama. ??*or two“
“Decided to finally check this place out after multiple times of driving by and was pleasantly surprised! Such a hidden gem. Not many bars like this left in Austin. Cozy and no-frills dive bar. They have a large outdoor seating area with an outdoor stage and creek filled with fish and turtles that you can feed. The bartender, Julia, was very sweet and welcoming. Was told that they typically have live music every Wednesday and Saturday and open mic nights on Sundays. Will definitely be back to check that out!“
“This is a fun place to hang out and listen to music. The staff is friendly and they make great mixed drinks and surprisingly yummy food. There are also several decent food trucks parked there, too. Big televisions to watch the game and a big outdoor stage and tables. A really nice neighborhood bar.“
“Food was incredible, like really good nachos and quesadillas and tacos. Delicious. Fast service. Lovely people. Turfing the playscape with padded turf would make it 10x safer and better. Right now, it is just non-level dirt. My non-walking child couldn't be let down to play/explore. The main dining area and bar/tv's seemed to be closed. Maybe still under renovation? Lots of mosquitos. Not sure if there is standing water that needs to be addressed. Despite all this, will be back for the food!“
“One of the coolest places ever. It's a hometown golf course clubhouse where the folks take pride in simply living life! The motto ..."a drinking community with a golfing problem!" Come let your hair down and check out the activities: Dart and Cornhole Tournament Mondays, Tuesday is Card Night, Wednesday night is Trivia and Karaoke, Thursday is Bingo, Friday and Saturday Live Entertainment, Sunday shoot some pool and watch the games! ... Also, everyday of the week, step right out back and hit some golf balls. ???“
“Great hotel and service. Sue was fantastic at breakfast. This AC hotel was in a great location close to the office. Clean, great staff and amenities. Really liked the roof top bar. Fantastic view. Walkable location to some decent restaurants as well.“
“Excellent service, food, and drinks! my sister held her wedding here in town and when her caterer dropped out last minute they did everything they could to help her have a beautiful rehearsal dinner! even though they don’t cater they made us feel so welcome and taken care of! All of the food was delicious and high quality! The tap list was excellent and they knew how to pour a good beer! The cocktails were excellent and well balanced would definitely recommend them!“
“Service was prompt. Place was clean and nice.No one came to check if the food was ok, I would have told them that the rice was crispy and dry. Like they got to the bottom of the rice cooker and gave me the drabs that were left at the bottom. Disappointing. The edamame was good. Sushi was good. Chicken katsu was ok-good... But Something missing can't quit place my finger on what. Tempura was above average. Agedashi tofu was flavourful. I liked the tofu actually....My friend had the bowl.. with grilled chicken teriyaki. Something in her bowl was extreeeeeemely salty. To the point where she had to ask for extra rice to try to make it edible.Now, her extra rice came out looking nice and plump and soft unlike my rice in the Bento Box I ordered.It's just almost sacrilege for a Japanese/ Asian restaurant to serve rice that's not right.Will try again again to see if I need to increase or further decrease the stars on this review.“
“We always love coming to Blind Salamander.the food is consistently good and the service is perfecto. I like a very very rare steak and few restaurants/chefs will prepare it like I like it, but Will (our server) made sure it was perfect. Marco, the manager is always friendly and makes sure we are treated well. When we are at Barton Creek, this is our number one stop.“
“This place came under new ownership by chef – owner, Antonio, a couple months ago. On my recent visit, I encountered two brand new sauces served with chips. Right off the bat, these appeared incredibly fresh just by looking at them. This place is worth visiting for the salsas alone, but they also have tasty food and delicious hand-shaken margaritas.“
“We absolutely LOVE this place. Mario, the owner, is always interacting with everybody and making the experience the best. We are never disappointed, the food is authentic and always SO GOOD! Our server Jaime was so nice and gave the best service. We can't wait for our next visit!“
“Went for lunch first time being there had to use the bathroom the restroom was nasty look like a gas station rest stop no paper towels the food was so bad I order a veggie burrito it had super hot peppers that was not on there menu the server never told me the sauce on the burrito was not good taste like a pasta sauce from a can so I took it back and ask for a simple bean burrito they came back with 2 flat rolled up taco threw some can sauce that taste like chili and it was terrible the owner was very nice server was very nice but the food I would never recommend anyone to eat here or use the restroom there had I know the restroom was dirty I would not had sat down or ordered any food here it is not authentic mexican food I am not sure what kind of mexican food is being served it is so disappointing“
“Greatest place with the kindness people! I'm from Michigan, not familiar with this area. And Heyden made sure we were taken care of and suggested some sightseeing places as well. Even the patrons of the bar were beyond friendly and welcoming. So glad we found this place!“
“Danny R was our waiter. Very attentive and nice. Food was great. Enchiladas Tulum and Al Carbon with steak was perfect with charro beans and rice. Ambiance is laid back and relaxed. I would highly recommend this place. Shrimp ceviche was also excellent!“
“If you’re craving Italian food, there’s no other place quite like Nik’s. The food is delicious and doesn’t leave you feeling lethargic or in a food coma. The portion sizes are more than enough for one person and the dishes are reasonably priced.The service is fantastic and Camren, forgive my spelling if it’s incorrect, always treats each table with diligence and compassion. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming.I highly recommend the Chicken Parmesan with the Jalapeño Lime sauce as the entree. The Longhorn Ravioli is also a great appetizer. To finish it off, you MUST get the Bananas Foster otherwise you’re missing out!“
“This is a bar. Bar food... so you have to set the scale there. They have a great atmosphere. Plenty of parking. Plenty of TVs and beer variety. I'm a big fan of this particular chain, and this location is one of my favorites. They have live music sometimes. Watching a game, meeting friends, a relaxing night out... it's a great option. I think it's worth checking out if you're looking for a safe, clean, relaxing, not filled with rude/obnoxious people kind of watering hole.“
“tucked away in the corner of a lakeway strip mall is this friendly real Irish pub. tues nites they have authentic Irish music that started with four and grew to nine musicians. it's an undiscovered gem with great Irish coffee, Irish beers and food. have some fun!“
