We have driven by The Reel many times coming and going from events in the area. We finally stopped in for a to-go order. Better than average fried shrimp and fish but generous portions. However, the citrus glazed salmon was amazing: cooked perfectly and so well seasoned. The asparagus accompaniment was sublime. Pretty pricy food, but well worth it.

We have been enjoying meals at the Reel for over a year, and consider it one of the best seafood restaurants in New Braunfels. We have sampled every dish on the menu and have yet to find one we dislike. However, we have noticed a trend in recent months: the fish is frequently overcooked, though still tasty. Additionally, the oyster shuckers seem to be leaving behind excessive broken shell fragments and a significant amount of oyster meat within the shells.

Today we took my elderly Aunt out to eat here. It was fabulous. The food was good ...but our server, Bryan, was over the top. He made our visit so much more than we expected. His personality, smile, upbeat attitude and overall timeliness enhanced our experience.

My husband and I have dined at this establishment many times since we moved here from Houston....but today's visit TOPPED the charts.

Thank you Bryan for your stellar service.
