Bar D Brewhouse and Restaurant

tried two different kinds of craft brews—one was good, one tasted like dishwater. The chicken part of the chicken fried chicken was great, but the white gravy was so thin it was see-through. Good service. Nice, but slightly overpriced dive.

Oh my word. Stopped in on impulse whilst day traveling - and I cannot tell you how fantastic the chicken fajitas were… bar none, the BEST I have ever had.
The spicy seasoning, but not too hot (perfect really), and the tenderness of the meat.
The BEST.
Go. Hope they have them for you as they were on special today.
We will be back. And oh did I mention the beer? My husband is raving about the Hoppin’ Jalapeño.
Yes, we will be back. 😊

Everything was great service, food, waitress, and cook! Will be back!

Best burger I have had sin I moved to Texas in 2019. Service is great.

I'm in love with this place!!! If you don't eat here you'll be sad. I highly recommend the Chili Cheese Burger 🍔

DELICIOUS food. AWESOME service and just a country place!!! Highly recommend the chili cheeseburger 😋

The service was great. The staff was very friendly! Now on to the food and beer. We ordered the tasting flight that included every in-house brewed beer available. Only one was drinkable, the Double Down Brown Ale. All of their beers suffered from a metallic/limey taste, likely due to the water they brewed with. We ordered 2 entrees, the stuffed avocado and chicken pattie. Neither met the menu descriptions. The food was ok, but not what we expected based on the menu. We were very disappointed based on the Google reviews we read. We just expected more. Disappointed. Sorry, but we have to be honest.

We went on the all you can eat catfish night and it was so good! Buffy does an amazing job in the kitchen. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere!

This was a happy find! We googled "best restaurant in San Saba" and this was the winner. The atmosphere is like being at home, where (almost) everyone knows everyone. It was awesome hearing the employees call each patron by name!

The food was fantastic! We had the guacamole burger and it was juicy and HUGE! my husband and I shared and it was still too much! We also had wings - probably some of the biggest wings we've eaten! Great crunch and taste.

We will definitely be going back!

Camping Tourist Review Alert: Go see Larry and family- they were friendly and everything was fresh and tasty!

Delicious classic cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun. I liked that the patty was thick yet didn’t make the burger unwieldy to eat. Crisp tots.

Home brewed root beer! And err, I mean house (restaurant?) brewed beer!
I tried the Armadillo Blonde and the Jalapeño beer. The blonde was brewed with corn and was tasty. It kinda came off like a sour beer in a good way. Jalapeño beer was dangerous, and went down easy without being boring. Fantastic light beer with just the right amount of pepper on the nose. Dangerous because I could drink it all day.
Bloody Mary mix had a straightforward balance of spice, tomato and celery, and sadly I didn’t have room in the cooler for a bottle.

I didn’t try it, but I overheard good things about the fried catfish (Friday), homemade ice cream, and casseroles to go.

Great menu, good people

Everything about this place is such a pleasant experience. The food is certainly amazing but the staff is what makes it extra special. They are so fun and friendly every time we go. And while going out to eat in our current economy is more difficult, they offer daily specials that make it more affordable. I really appreciate that right now and wish more restaurants did that. They also have local wines to enjoy for those who don't drink beer.

Something very funky about all of the beers. Has an astringent vinegar-like flavor. I came about 5 years ago and my hone brew friend said it seemed like the lines/vessels were not cleaned or something, which explains way all of the beers have this taste. Another person in comments mentioned wild yeast getting into the batch. It seems others are tasting what I'm tasting. I came back thinking surely they fixed the issue by now, but it's exactly the same. Disappointing. Its a cool-looking place. I've never tried the food though.

Do NOT order "Larry's" beer. We tried all styles and all smack of poorly made homebrew with cidery, vinegar flavors. I used to brew my own and this is what happens when wild yeast gets in the batch, six of us all deemed it undrinkable. Staff was pleasant but food and drink were just not good.

Glad we stopped here while bringing my son back to College Station from Arizona. Excellent friendly service. Inside is authentic rustic. Food is great and they even have Gluten free options for those that like that. They serve their own beer as well as local wines and good selection of bottled domestic and Mexican. Will definitely stop here again on our next trip
