10 Best American Restaurants near Schwertner

“This is the kind of place I love! Perfect spot for that perfect taste. Great service with a smile and warm welcome that you really only find now off the main roads. While the CFS was not the best I've had, it certainly brought my taste memories back to my childhood eating at my grandparents' --- it has that old school, made from scratch taste... because that's how it's done. I'll certainly be back... a lot!!!!“

“Found this place by accident when I took a side by accident. Wife and tried the blackened tilapia and grilled turkey and cheese sandwich. Both were very good and the waitress was very friendly. Definitely will go again when passing through Salado.“

“Wonderful home cooking in a friendly cozy atmosphere! I had the Big Daddy Mac & Cheese. OMG-delish! Homemade creamed corn with the Mac n cheese and real barbecued brisket on top. It doesn’t get any better! Large portion too-I brought home at least 1/3 for lunch tomorrow. Don’t hesitate to give them a try!“

“The Alexander is one of our favorite places in Salado, but mostly because our favorite waitress, Clara, is there! The food is always amazing, the cocktails and wine list are incredible and the place, ambiance we love so much. We keep coming back!“

“There are many places to eat in Salado, Texas. If you want to go to a place that has unparalleled and exceptional service that has quality food that matches the service, then look no further. We were recommended by our business partner at Salado Creek Jewelers by Kiki Creations located in Salado at 106 N Main St, where we have a storefront inside their shop when looking for a great place to eat. Kim and Kiki said this is a must try. They were not wrong, as it is a phenomenal restaurant. We had the pleasure to eat here multiple times while staying down the road at the Inn on The Creek, and everything was extravagant. When you first walk in the door, you are greeted and immediately feel as if you are a part of their family. Everyone is very kind. They all make sure you are well taken care of. From the front hostesses desk,kitchen staff, waiter's,waitresses, and all of the people who work together, they provide an awesome experience. You will not be disappointed. The quality of the food is exquisite, and you will find no better while staying in Salado or if you're just passing through. We were unsure of what to get and wanted to try out their sampler platter and order their cheese curds. Let me tell you the flavors were exceptional and the cheese curds were not greasy and were filled completely with cheese, unlike some places that pass off a hollow cheese stick. The sampler was amazing, and we highly recommend the kicking bourbon sauce for the wings. We did the boneless wings, and they were amazing. On the sampler, you also receive two gigantic jalapeños full of cheese wrapped in thick bacon that is to die for. Your taste buds will definitely thank you, and your day will be significantly better just from eating there. I opted for a Shiner Bock, and it came out in a bone-chilling cold glass that went down so easily. The customer service is spot on as everyone made sure they are there for you without having to wave down your waiter or waitress. It's hard to find a place nowadays that cares about providing great customer service and amazing food. Let me tell y'all this place does both so easily that it seems natural. The restaurant inside was very busy, but all the staff ran the operation like a well-oiled machine, and despite how busy they were, they were able to provide exceptional service each time we were there. My only complaint is that I wish I saved room for dessert because I heard it too is out of this world. However, after eating here twice, we were so full that we didn't have the room. When we came the second time the very next day, we ordered the Shed burger with the jalapeño bun. The burger was delectable, and the bun was even grilled. The meat was very flavorful and not greasy at all. The sweet potato fries definitely hit the spot, and the portions were huge. The burger was so phenomenal we ate it so quickly I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it. If you are in Salado staying at The Inn on the Creek or just passing through, you need to stop here and eat. By not doing so, you are doing your taste buds a disservice. If you are a fan of great customer service, amazing food, that will keep you coming back for more, then look no further. The people at The Shed will definitely take care of you! From all of us at Texas Blue Courage Company LLC, keep up the outstanding work. We enjoyed everything and look forward to eating here again. Thank y'all for treating us like family and taking such great care of us. We definitely will be recommending y'all to everyone we meet. Respectfully, Texas Blue Courage Company LLC Justin and Sheila Kmiec“

“Great food and wonderful customer service. I will definitely come back in the future. Gabriel Culiat. Great burgers“

“Iconic venue to dance country. We especially like the 5:30 start time for the Sunday band as it allows us to get home at a more reasonable time. An added benefit of going on a Sunday is they honor veterans with a tribute each week.
Food was pretty good too. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my date had the smash burger.“

“I’m not a local, but for the last 5 years I’ve been driving through the town almost everyday to go to temple for school. During the last 5 years, I’ve always seen this place and was mostly confused if it was actually open or not since the building itself doesn’t really scream “Hey we’re a donut shop and we’re open!” However, now that my daily schedule has allowed for me to go here during the morning hours, I have realized that it is open! I’ve been there so far 2 times and both times I was VERY much satisfied with the food, the staff, and the experience! The donuts there are amazing! Especially the long johns and the Apple fritters! They also have fantastic breakfast tacos, breakfast sandwiches, and drinks as well! I’m also very fond with the prices of the food. For 2 donuts, a sandwich, and a drink it’s usually only 7$ which is hard for me to find where I come from!The man that I’ve seen there has always been very welcoming and very efficient with his service which is wholeheartedly enjoy and respect. Definitely will be coming here more often during my morning travels to school!“

“Part of a convenience store, fuel stop and restaurant complex, it's very convenient for travelers but also great for locals. Breakfast all day/evening with great choices, as well as other meal choices. I tried the waffle taco loaded with scrambled eggs, sausage and gravy. So very good.“

“Stopped on the way back home to Temple from medical appt in Georgetown, mid morning. Our server , listed on receipt shows Tiffany G. Im not sure if she was the trainer or trainee. Both ladies were very nice and courteous. It made our dining experience so pleasant and positive. Service industry work can be tough. I hope their personalities persevere and they are always so positive with the customer service they provide. We wish them best and hope we find a reason to stop again. The lady cashing out customers wasnt so much nice or pleasant . She could learn from Tiffany G.
