“We went to the shed for a late lunch, and it was amazing as most places in Salado. Before I forget, I want to mention the waitress Lisa, who was amazing and gave amazing customer service! She was very familiar with the menu and had some really good recommendations, which I always enjoy when eating at a restaurant. We had the shed sampler, which was mozzarella sticks, hot wings and chips and salsa. We opted for the Dr Pepper wings (housemate sauce) YUM and and the kickin' bourbon. The ambience is much like something that you would see on diners, dives, and drive-ins. The food was great. My BLT was perfect and I will absolutely make this one of my staples when I'm in Salado.“

“Great food, great service, a little expensiveAfter an exhausting journey to our parent’s home, we found ourselves craving dinner and chanced upon Mosaic Grill in Belton, TX. The choice was made easier thanks to the persuasive online reviews. The ambiance of the place struck us immediately; it had a simple, almost 'Plain Jane' diner feel, but what caught our eye was the impressive array of beer taps lining one wall, showcasing a fine selection. The warm welcome we received upon entering was a breath of fresh air, with Desirae eagerly inquiring if it was our first visit, which indeed it was.Desirae was an absolute treasure. Her friendly demeanor and expert guidance through ordering made our experience memorable. I'm already looking forward to returning if only to enjoy her excellent service again.As for the meal, we savored both the beef and chicken shawarma wraps, accompanied by fries. The wraps were tantalizingly seasoned, bursting with flavors that were further enhanced by the delectable garlic sauce. However, my husband found the wrapping technique slightly inconvenient as the wrap itself tended to unravel upon peeling the paper back. Now, onto the fries - as someone who considers themselves a connoisseur of French fries, I can confidently say these were sublime, boasting a perfect balance of crispy exteriors and soft, fluffy interiors. It was nothing short of fry nirvana.In conclusion, Mosaic Grill earns a solid 4-star rating from us. While the meal was delightful and Desirae's service was exceptional, the prices were somewhat steep even with its selection of beers. Nonetheless, it's a culinary experience we recommend.“

“I went for the pies at Thanksgiving & Christmas. Their chocolate cream pie was top notch. This is my fave pie to get anywhere I go and most places have a soggy crust. But not here - the crust was light and flaky with every bite! Absolutely delish!Fast forward to last Friday and I did their Friday night special - 2 meals, 4 sides, and a dessert for $40. I got the ribeye steak tips w/shrimp and hubs got the chicken fried steak. My expectations were not very high on the steak tips and, to be honest, when I got home and opened the container, they looked like they might have been overcooked. However, one bite and my eyes rolled back in my head! They had grilled onions and the flavor was spot on! Very tender and very delicious! The place doesn’t disappoint! It’s a bit of a drive being in Jarrell, but oh so worth it!!!“

As unremarkable as my meal was, Elizabeth was a shining beacon of hope that my experience would not be tainted by mediocre (as best) cooking. But it was her who made the experience memorable, rich, delightful, even. The world simply cannot go on without the paragon of service which is...Elizabeth.“

“I stopped by to grab lunch to go. I ordered a chicken fried steak & onion rings, which came with a little side salad & crackers. The atmosphere is what you would expect from a little country hole in the wall. I love these little places. The staff was friendly and hard working. About the food, I wasn't thrilled with my order, but it wasn't bad either. It was just ok. I think if I would've eaten there, it would have been better. Some foods just don't travel well. I plan on going back, and next time, I'll take the time to sit and enjoy the atmosphere.“

“Stopped in for dinner the other night, I was excited to try Rosslers BBQ brisket sandwich collab with Papas Cafe. The sandwich its self was fantastic and I expect nothing less from Rosslers, even with the lean it was great, paired with Rosslers own house BBQ sauce it was fantastic. Papas cafes onion rings were also surprisingly great.I took a tour of their extensive menu and got some of their catfish. Which was pretty good however $10 for 5pcs of catfish with no sides left me wanting.Their French toast breakfast sampler was an absolute delight and their French toast was definitely worth eating, so so good! However it comes with this cheap frozen grocery store sausage that was rather dissatisfying.The side salad was simple yet impressed me with its creamy ranch dressing which had a hint of freshness to it that kept me going.I was not excited about the $15 price tag for the Reuben sandwich which is little more than the size of a grilled cheese sandwich stuffed with canned corned beef hash. Not the kind of Reuben most people expect to be eating.The grits were run of the mill, unseasoned and uninterestingDefinitely enjoyed their apple pie as the it’s served warm and the apples are perfectly cooked.Overall our experience was pleasant, our waitress didn’t seem to be having the greatest night and the prices seemed really expensive for a middle of the road diner. I likely won’t be back, not that I had a negative experience but only I could have a similar experience right down the road for a much fairer price.“
