We were passing through town and felt blessed to stumble on the Sunken Gardens restaurant. My husband said it was the best Shepherd’s Pie and Broccoli Salad he’s ever eaten, and I felt the same about the Kale/Walnut/Cranberry Salad. The buffet was well presented and included great options for every diet choices. The staff were down-home friendly as well. I hope we can return soon!

Home cooking at its finest! Didn't have anything that was mediocre. Everything was delicious!

Ok, the building isn't the prettiest. And you won't be dazzling your date with the inside. HOWEVER, if you are looking for some of the best down-home cooking, you have to come here! The food is served buffet-style, but you pay by the pound. And everything we got was incredible! This is a must try for anyone! The only issue is their water has a high mineral taste, so I highly recommend ordering a drink.

LOCALS LOVE IT, but I was not impressed. The food was ok and the price was fair but the place is dirty. Ham, Turkey, mac n cheese, Hamburg Steak, were all the same types of food one would find at home, and perhaps that is why the locals seems to love it so much but it needed cleaning. The paint was peeling in numerous places on the ceiling in more than one room. The floor just looked dirty. Many tables were left dirty, and no one cleaned them the entire time I was there. I believe the health department should visit them 'cause if the back is as bad as the front area, it would NOT be GOOD. I would not eat here again. Dec 2024

Everything tasted like it was homemade which I loved because you know you are getting real food. The broccoli slaw was divine.
Cozy restaurant with a casual, relaxed vibe. The food was quite good. The staff was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit when in Shiner.

This place reminded me of a Luby's...old timey type food but they weigh it and charge by the pound. It was ok and had a decent amount of options to choose from on their lineup. I'll try somewhere else next time I'm passing through.
Parking: Park down the hill in the open lot.
