“Amazing food! Damiano is THE SERVER! Great personality amazing service! you have to try the salted caramel shake and truffle fries!”
“EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!! My daughter had a small wedding reception here as it is her absolute favorite restruant in Texas. We had a small party and the hostesses & servers we OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! They kept our glasses full, our food delivered fresh and hot, and our tables clean! We cannot THANK YOU enough for making our reception amazing!!”
“What an adorable place with the most delicious, authentic German food we’ve ever had in the US. I had a lovely dry Riesling wine, pork weiner schnitzel with German potato salad & sauerkraut. It was a large portion & absolutely amazing. Hubby had veal weiner schnitzel & red cabbage. The veal was so tender. We loved it all & will definitely return next time we’re in New Braunfels. Make a reservation ahead of time. It’s cozy & quite popular. We didn’t have a reservation & it took about an hour to get a table, but it was really worth it!”
“Beautiful place, most of the food was absolutely off the chart but the steak (bone in ribeye special) was very underwhelming. The value mainly came from the ambiance, service, sides and appetizers. The steak was not a particularly good cut of steak and it tasted like ash”
“We had lunch today on the porch! LED off with Fried Oyster appetizer! Spicy Crunchy Trout with Broccoli and roasted potatoes and a really nice side salad. My wife had the Three Seafood Salad with Salmon and Shrimp. I know there was another seafood item but she can’t remember. But the waitress was so professional and in these days…she was so good! I wish we’d gotten the Fried Brie appetizer! A little hard to Locate back in behind the other shops but they were also fun! Very good bread as well!!!!”

“The sidecar is a nice comfortable place to enjoy drinks and they have very good and interesting drinks to choose from.”
“I was just swinging through town solo and stepped into the bar area to eat. I have been there a few times, and ALL the food is excellent. But usually when u sit in the bar area on a busy night (Friday) you are all but ignored. However, probably the best service I have ever had. Constant multiple waiters walking by asking for what you need, but not in that annoying way where you cant eat. Drinks were Johnny on the spot, everything out quickly. A most excellent establishment.”

“Our favorite Sunday brunch stop. Classic american style diner that makes you feel like part of a family. The owner John and all of his staff love this place and show it every day with cozy hospitality, great fresh food, and quick service. They also have some of the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had. Thank you!”

“Find a way to get there! I kept putting off trying this because it can be very busy traffic area but I am surely glad I did! The jerk chicken was juicy, the ribs fell right off the bone with perfect taste. Mac n cheese, corn & cole slaw 10/10! Great portions and the heat was perfect! Definitely will be back soon.”
“Wayan was our server! Great service and personal attention. Food is always exceptional. Recommend the restaurant to all our friends”
“Christelle is an amazing chef and offers wonderful customer service. We chose a holiday lumpia package and they were such a crowd favorite that everyone asked where they were from! I wish I could eat them every day! Thanks Christelle!”
“Five Stones Brewery is an absolute gem, and one of favorite breweries that we've visited across the US. The moment you step onto the property, you feel wrapped in the beauty and calm of the Texas Hill Country; wide open space, peaceful surroundings, and a setting that’s perfect for relaxing with friends or family.
The brewery has a truly family‑friendly atmosphere, with plenty of room for kids to play and adults to unwind. There’s a great sense of community here, and the beers are incredible.”

“My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary at Myron's June 18, 2024. Our hostess Monica was wonderful. She was courteous, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our steaks were prepared to perfection. The wine complimented our meal. The atmosphere was very inviting. The food is worth every cent. I hope visit there again the next time we're in San Antonio. S. Sanders”
“Saturday afternoons are lively here at Freiheits. There were lots of tables still available and yet this fine establishment still seemed quite busy. Wendy was our server. Even though she seemed to be running around everywhere at once, breathless, her timing was always impeccable with regard to our table. Wendy's visits to our table were never rushed nor pressured. She made sure our orders arrived in prime shape and our beverages consistently topped off. Our food was nothing short of amazing. The burgers we ordered were tender and juicy. They were neither bricks nor dripping down our arms. The country fried steaks we ordered filled the entire plate with a delectably fine Southern crunchiness (the breading) enjoying the succulent, flavorful steak. The portions were large and we were pleased to be provided with a takeout box to continue our stellar dining experience with subsequent meals. I gently reheated my country fried steak in a dry cast-iron skillet for several minutes for breakfast Sunday morning accompanied with some eggs and hash browns. Our expectations were met. Compliments to Wendy and the chef.”
“My family has always loved The Reel and eat there often. We received a favor gift card after our 2nd child and decided to use it to have dinner delivered by Favor from The Reel. I was very disappointed in my stuffed flounder. There was no Avocado, cherry tomatoes or lump crab on it and it seemed more like the lunch portion than the $39.20 dinner portion I usually get. lesson learned I guess as I feel this is on The Reel and not our Favor driver.”
“The Beef Wellington is FANTASTIC and the service is friendly, professional and very attentive. The atmosphere is very welcoming and makes a great place for date night or casual dinner with family or friends.”

“I love taking my girls here. It’s always clean, the staff is friendly, and most of all they keep the kids area, very clean. They also have one big touchscreen table in the kids area, and two small touch screens on tables in the front lobby. I wish I made it easier for the children to reach it because my daughter always asked me out halfway on the table to be able to play the game, but other than that it’s really good place to take your kids
Kid-friendliness: This place is definitely kid friendly. It’s the only McDonald’s. I know of. In new Braunfels. That has a huge player area for the kids”
“Water 2 Wine is my unofficial office, therapy lounge, social club, and sometimes a wine-fueled escape from the chaos of adulting. I’ve been going here for years, and if it ever closes, I will consider laying on the doorstep and crying.
The owners, Tre & Angel are the sweetest (sometimes sassy *cough cough* Tre *cough cough*) owners ever. They're extremely knowledgeable about wine and make this picky girls heart and tastebuds happy.
They have an incredible staff with Johnny (who's won best bartender in NB for like a lot of years, don't ask me how many, I can't keep up, might be convinced he's bribing the town with sass and charcuterie boards), Ameilee (the queen of arts and crafts and the designer behind their door of events each month), and Lexi (who makes it a point to remember anyone and everyone by name and their wine of choice; seriously the second time I ever met her she greeted me like besties and I live for that energy).
The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming which makes it a great spot for a girls outing, date night, or remote work that’s mostly just answering one email and then reward-sipping for your efforts. It will forever be this wino's fav spot to sip, yap, and pop a squat.
11/10 would recommend. No notes. Just go.”
“John makes the BEST smoked old fashion its the bomb! And the pizza truck has the best brick oven pizza in New Braunfels.
If you want pizza and beer and football games this is the place!”

“Visited The Oyster Bar for lunch on 12/13. Started off with the herb butter broiled oysters, Little Bear oysters from the premium section (which I believe rotates) and their Bloody Gonzo for the drink. The herb oysts were good but lacked that flavor wow factor I hope for with dining out. The description for the Little Bears was spot on and they were terrific. Also a great oyst for those who do not care for the brininess. As for the Gonzo, not a fan of heavily decorated bloody marys but, that's my age talkin and I get the visual goal behind it. With that said, didn't mind this one at all after starting to drink and eat the decor. Was one of the best marys I've had; great flavor along with the flavor of the decor which also complimented the drink (and much better than McAdoo's mary monstrosity). Now, on to the Moonlight Bay oysts. As a Gulf Coast country kid many seasons ago, we had two terms for brininess; normal and extra. Probably why the description for these oysts threw me off. Was expecting more brine but the level (personal taste opinion en route) was absolutely perfect! Didn't overpower but complimented and allowed all the other flavors (including a light touch of sweetness) to come through for beautiful oyst wonder! So much in fact, I ordered quite a few more. Alas, my thumb is getting tired so I'm going to speed this along. Ordered 3 or 4 more different drinks. Each one was terrific. Ordered the hot seafood dip which has a great flavor wow factor. The young lady who served me was perfect; great personality, not pushy, we both had to ask each other to repeat ourselves and both didn't mind, allowed me to enjoy all of the ocean and liquor goodness. Pass along my apologies for forgetting her name. The Oyster Bar is so close to perfect. Could get there if they'd lower the music volume and add oysters Rockefeller to the menu. By some small miracle you decide to do so, don't make a fake Rockefeller like Mcadoo's. Include the dry white wine. Makes all the difference. Now, I'm going to ice my thumb.”
“We went for our first time. We were the only ones in the restaurant and service was very poor. We waited over 15 minutes for our check while the owner sat at another table chatting with someone. Food was good however the menu needs improvements. The descriptions were very vague and it didnt seem like a menu for a mexican restaurant.. And I have never been to a mexican restaurant that doesnt serve chips and salsa.”

“This was our first time ordering with Art House Cakery. I live in Houston and placed my order online. The prompt communication and ease of ordering was greatly appreciated. I was able to pick up my order with no issues. I am so happy to have found a bakery with vegan options in New Braunfels. Our cake and cupcakes were so delicious! I highly recommend Art House Cakery for anyone looking for that extra attention to detail, special dietary options and/or professionalism that some big box/chain stores are lacking. This will be our go-to bakery for all of our future celebrations.”
“Came here on a dime! Was in the area didn’t want the loud bar type place for a bite. My bf and I walked in with a warm welcome. We ordered and sat down the charming place was nice and quiet. I love the ice cream parlor vibe with vintage setting with the diner seats and stadium seats. Had my heart with the little table and chairs for the littles. We were pleasantly surprised! The FOOD yum!! we definitely agreed we would be back and added to the list.”

“This was a great little stop on our day out in New Braunfels.
We were able to taste everything on tap, plus the bartender gave us samples of their beers that were in bottles.
I enjoyed all the beers, especially the pickle sour and the Belgian Tripel.
Definitely check this place out!”
“Best Tacos I have had so far. Taco ingredients taste so fresh. And the price is perfect for what you get. Of course we got there Birria tacos, and yes they were amazing. I only wish they had a rewards program because I’d be their number one redeemer! lol go try this place you will definitely not be disappointed. Thank you Rendell and will be back again for dinner. ~Ben~”
“Roman was extremely helpful, knowledgeable about the menu and gave us a great recommendation for pizza. Made sure to greet everybody that came in and cleaned up while assisting others with any questions that they had. Kept the salad bar stocked with fresh ingredients and made sure to check in on all the tables to see if they needed anything else… He went above and beyond to give good customer service!”
“This was my first experience with wine tasting and the staff was amazing. Ms. Gabby was very helpful and I loved her humor!! I will most definitely be returning!”
“Reserved space for granddaughter’s 15 BDay. The food is exceptional, customer service from Management to wait staff were wonderful in every way. All was sanitized. We had an amazing time! Thank you!”
“this review is for the new Rexburg location in Mother hibbards have stopped in there four times within the last week to try the food and they never have anything in the warmer. no pizzas nothing. I went in there tonight. no food in the warmer. the kids that work there are sitting on the floor up against the wall doing absolutely nothing. Do they only serve Pizza at lunch and zero food for dinner? there's nothing anywhere that says what times they have food what time? they don't have food so tonight I went from hangar 54 right over to Valley wide and got me a personal pizza and now I'm headed to work.”
“Peyton is the ABSOLUTE MOST AMAZING BARTENDER! the espresso martini’s here are TO DIE FOR! Best bar in gruene! Even when packed as heck, Peyton took care of us!”
“Love coming here! I try to stop by once every week or two but the food and service is always great! Priced very well too.”
“Our go to place for local sushi! great customer service and wonderful food.”
“Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. An awesome spot to get a drink at the turn or after 18. Bloody Mary's on point and damn good margaritas, specially after a hot texas game.”
“Be still my heart! Visited this adorable little shop yesterday and goodness was I impressed! The young lady behind the counter was super helpful and nice explaining all the different things and asked about my dietary restrictions, which was much appreciated. I got a variety box and each of the pastries was delicious! I can't wait to return and made sure to tell my husband that this is where I'd like my upcoming birthday dessert from. Haha!”
“Only disappointment is the lack of their lunch menu which we havw seen at other Applebee's. Still good and always friendly.”
“Loved this place! The stand was very friendly and service was on point. Nothing came wrong or incorrect. The food tasted better than anticipated. And I spent on $20 more than, I did the night beofre and another restaurant. So to be the price was as good as the food.! Will definitely be back soon!”

“Today, my husband and I decided to get lunch at Las Palapas at Creekside in New Braunfels, on our way to Home Depot. We were greeted quickly. We were seated in Brooklyn's section. The food was hot, drinks were cold. Food arrived quickly. We had the Enchilada verdes plate and the super bowl, with a coupon for the mama ruth flauta plate. They were good, the shredded chicken was over salted but still edible. Our server, Brook, came to take our order quickly, when we ordered we asked for our drinks with no ice. She brought out mine correctly but my husbands had a full a glass of ice. She took it back and fixed it. While we were eating, she checked on us once after bringing out our food. When we asked for our bill, we asked for the military discount. When she brought out our bill, we handed her the gift card we had along with 20.00 cash to make up the difference. When she returned she brought out two 5 dollar bills. our change was supposed to be: $10.55. When we noticed it, we asked the other waitress in the area to ask her to come back to our table. When she was called to the table for us to explain about it the other waitress in the section was still there. When Brooke was told about the fact that we wanted the 55 cents, she took an attitude about us wanting our 55 cents. Saying: they want the 55 cents? while she was standing right in front of us. We should have called the manager at that moment. The way I feel is that she took the 55 cents. She should have given us the entire amount of change per our receipt, allowing us to choose tell her to keep it. As it was we were going to give her an 11.00 tip, once we discovered the change returned to us was not correct and she displayed an attitude, we changed the amount of tip to 1.55. We have talked to the manager about this issue as well. I used to work waiting on tables, I always give good tips, and I know the work is hard and sometimes you get bad customers, however: NEVER did I not give back the full change on the receipt. In my book that would have been considered stealing from the customer.”
“We just purchased our Second Bengal kitten from Dave Clark within two years. The elder almost immediately bonded with his little brother. They are absolutely adorable and beyond beautiful!!! Bengals have such unique personalities. They love to be around their owners. Highly recommend Dave!!!”
“I haven’t had a crazy amount of food truck food, but this one hands down definitely had one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Menu was incredibly easy to understand, so you know exactly what you’re getting which is great. Secondly, we came with a group of almost 10 people and my food was prepared in less than 19 minutes. The burger itself what delicious and was worth it. The food is very high quality and original.”

“We visited Naegelin's today while we were in New Braunfels. I used to live in NB (1959 to 1990) and grew up on their pastries. My brother was a baker their in 1960 and 1961, so there was always Naegelin's pastries to eat. Bear Claws were my absolute favorite. After 30 years, I couldn't wait! I ordered Bear Claws and 2 strudles, apple and cherry. I should have waited! The strudel was pretty good. the Bear Claws were very very disappointing. they lacked flavor and filling. The pastery used to be light and flakey. Not any longer, more like flat and tough. I hate to use the word "cardboard", but that kinda fits. Go for the Strudel, forget the Bear Claws. Childhood memories shattered again.”
“We used 2tarts for our wedding desserts and it was amazing. They were not only delicious, they made our cake tasting a special event. We worked with Erin, and she was so charming. Everyone truly went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and the tasting is a precious memory for me now. The actual cake was beautifully done, on-time, and tasted delicious. We had nothing but positive feedback from our guests, and many people even took selfies with the dessert table! It looked that good. Me and my husband (woo!) had a slice of the blackberry cake which was possibly the best cake I've ever had, but our "anniversary" layer, which we ate the next day, was pistachio, and that was incredibly delicious. We got a four-tier cake with different flavored layers, and individual apple pies and slices of gluten-free, vegan cake. The options were so great we almost didn't know what to pick, but we were so happy with the end result! If you are in the area and looking for your wedding cake and desserts, 2tarts is the right answer!”
“After my last visit that was not the best, the owner Heather was apologetic and so gracious to ask me to give them another try. Glad I did! Today I had the Bacon Cheeseburger with Tater Tots and it was very good! The Burger was delicious, Tater Tots had some seasoning on them that made them extra flavorful, and the Sweet Tea is always Awesome there. Will definitely be back!!”

“Came in yesterday and my goodness the food was awesome! Best fried pickles I’ve had to date. My lemon drop martini was perfect! I had their BLT off the brunch menu and it was amazing. I like chewy bacon and this was a bit crunchy for my taste but still good. Definitely coming back here.”
“I stopped here for the first time this afternoon. Cooling down after golf lessons at @thebanditgolfclub. Best friendliest bartender Stephanie recommended The League of Their Own, a very refreshing and yummy Grey Goose Peach and Rosemary infusion with cranberry, lemon, lime, and soda. Great day, we learned how to chip balls today and I won the student drill with closest ball to the hole 😎🤘⛳️🏌♀️ and then I had a wonderful experience in a friendly but classy Sports Bar.”
“Awesome waiter “Clint”. Went over and beyond the service experience.”
