They ruined this place. Menus, soda, tv, bar... the charm is gone. Destroyed the hush puppies, turned tastless bricks. I used to stop in everytime we drove through, stopped doing that. No surprise your closed. What you did to the place...should stay that way.

We’ve enjoyed Salado Inn restaurant for decades and anxiously awaited it’s reopening after a change in ownership/management.We visited after the ‘big remodel’ and re opening.Had an ‘Austin’ vibe, without the quality of Austin restaurants.Sooo disappointing.We gave it some time and tried it again. Same experience and have not been back.No longer worth the drive from Waco.It is now closed, again, with a ‘re open’ date of spring ‘24.Let’s hope they get it right this time.

Let's be honest...the old Stagecoach needed a renovation. It needed a good update in atmosphere. What it did not need is a complete revamp of what made it a beloved restaurant. It was a historic stagecoach stop; it was supposed to be old-fashioned in a bit of a hokey manner; it was an iconic institution where Sunday dinners, Thanksgiving and Mother's Day reigned supreme and every civic club wanted to hold their meetings. Texans loved it. It was well renowned when I ate my first meal there in 1978, and the perfect place to hold our rehearsal dinner in 2007. On a recent anniversary, well...two years ago, we planned a night out at the reinvented Stagecoach. It was merely okay food-wise, yet expensive. Lovely renovation, but lacking in warmth and hospitality. Please reinstate some of the old ways of doing things; bring back some of the old recipes; and recreate a place of comfort and family which was the Stagecoach's strength and why it had been such an icon. We can all go eat someplace else if we want frou-frou. We'd rather have that familiar feel of the old Stagecoach; it meant something special to most of us.

Felt like we were at camp. Unfortunately, restaurant was closed.Mouse in bedroom woke us up as it tried to get leftovers in trash - no frig in room.Servers were great for food and bourban bar.

I reserved dinner here as an homage the old Stagecoach Restaurant. Wish I hadn't. This is a high end expensive restaurant in a small town. Didn't feel right. And the space is not warm and inviting. Also the food was only average. With quite a limited menu. I would never recommend this restaurant. It doesn't fit in with Saldo.

I gave four-out-of-five stars, because it was a little to expensive. With that said, great quality food, amazing service, and great atmosphere. Bruce my wife and I's waiter, was very courteous and friendly. Solid young man. What is really neat about the Stagecoach Resturant, is that is has been around since 1861. So, tons of history at the Stagecoach Resturant. I definitely recommend.
Parking: Can get crazy sometimes finding a parking spot close to the Stagecoach Resturant if Salado is holding a festival or the little town is just packed, busy.
Been eating here for years. This was first time since new owners. We will never go back. Nothing was good. Out of several things. Even the kiss for l.brunch on Sunday. Very disappointed in the food.

The hotel is super cute and charming. The staff is sweet and they try to be helpful. Location is great. I love Salado and I’m happy to see local business thrive. I was so excited for the renovations of Stagecoach/Shady Villa and was looking forward to staying here. Here’s what you need to know:Accommodations- comfortable bed, but zero storage except for one tiny shelf under the biggest safe I’ve ever seen. There’s one tiny luggage rack so all of our suitcases were on the floor. Even in the bathroom, there’s nowhere to put your toiletries. Hot water runs out 2 minutes after you start your shower. Forget multiple people taking a shower one after another. This sucks specially if you have children.The Pool - the Pool area is cute but geezzz…mosquito infestation on steroids alert!!!! Most hotels treat for mosquitos around the pools and common areas, NOT HERE! Make sure to pack repellent. There are only two measly Sun shades for the whole pool area. The pool is dirty and has grass from the surrounding gardens which are beautiful and expected but they could have someone once in a while check the pool and clean out grass debris.FOOD - OMG save your stomach and DO NOT EAT HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I just don’t have worlds to describe how terrible food is here.Management- please get it together. The hotel has sooooo much potential. Improvements are not super expensive or unattainable. Get a new chef and new cooks, add storage to your rooms (IKEA is a good cheap option) get your staff to check your Pool regularly throughout the day. Hire a pest control company (an organic/natural one so you don’t poison visiting puppies and people don’t step or breathe in poison). Figure out hot water situation. Never coming back if they don’t address these issues. NEW MANAGEMENT PLEASE.

Enjoyed our lunch- BLT with fried Green Tomatoes, Reuben was good but a little salty in our opinion, turkey sandwich good . Hushpuppies were so good. Nice place for the ladies to have

A great joy! We've been waiting for the renovations for what seems like forever, and were not disappointed. The Fried Green tomatoes and Deviled eggs were to die for! Everyone else loved their food; being adventurous, I chose incorrectly, the Croque Madam. O it was good, but not what I expected and a bit too sweet for my palette. We'll be back, just next time I'm going with the chicken fried steak! And any way you look at it; you cannot fight the history, ambience, and service!
