The restaurant is cafeteria-style, with everything priced at $8.99 per pound, which we didn't expect but ended up working great for our family since everyone could choose exactly what they wanted. The food tasted homemade, and the salad bar was especially impressive with lots of fresh options. The chicken tenders were a big hit with the kids, and we couldn't resist trying the cherry cobbler for dessert, which was delicious. If you're passing through Shiner and looking for a casual, satisfying meal, this is a great stop.

The chicken tenders were fried very hard and dry. The pork tenderloin was overcooked and dry. All the entrees were covered by some kind of sauce. Nothing for a diabetic to eat.

It was a huge, fresh, hand packed 1/2lb burger with tons of fresh ingredients topping it off. I went back and tried a 10oz ribeye the next day and it wasn't bad. Maybe I am pickier about my steak, but it didn't wow me like the burger. I saw another patron get an order of what appeared to be nachos or a nacho salad and it was huge! The staff are super friendly, and it's clean and quiet. Also, this place sells beer so that's a plus. Lol. Next time I will try the chicken fried steak. Worth stopping in if your in the neighborhood.

I met some friends who live in Victoria and Goliad, Texas for lunch here last weekend. We were…read morelucky to get some chairs under a tree and could hear the music from a bit further away. It was a nice, hot, muggy day! We enjoyed the BBQ, the beer, and the cocktails. I don't drink beer (but if I did I'm sure it would be Shiner beer) so I was glad to see they had a distillery with pretty much a full bar. Three of us took the tour, which was fascinating! The AC was not working well in some parts of the building that day so part of the tour, we were sweating quite a bit during parts of it because it was a hot day. The BBQ (lean brisket and sausage) was good but their sauce was a bit watery/bland. I believe the spirits were also made by the same people but I haven't seen that brand in other stores before. I had a paloma (they don't have grapefruit soda so it was just made with ruby red grapefruit juice and vodka with some soda water) and a spicy margarita. Both were good but tasted different than a typical vodka or tequila drink to me. The friends I went with have gone there several times and said the drinks/cocktails seemed watered down this time didn't taste the same as they usually do so we wondered if they had changed their spirits or the measurements. I guess I'll have to go back again some day and see if they've gone back to their usual drink recipes!

This is a nice little day trip away from San Antonio…read more A quick, lovely, scenic drive leads you to this huge backyard! Open space with lots of seating and enough yard for kids to play and throw footballs (some kids don't realize their aim/catching skill level so beware if you're sitting close to the activity). We booked the distillery tour which was a fun and educational activity. You also get to sample the spirits and walk away with souvenir bag. There's a nice big bar area outside with snacks, you can also order food and more substantial snacks through the restaurant. There is also a nice gift shop with lots of goodies. Everything was yummy. Especially the pretzels. I didn't know I could love pretzels that much! Service was friendly. Definitely a nice way to spend the day off you want to get away.

We arrived on time and our order was placed withing 15 minutes of arrival. Food didn't start coming out for about 1 hour. There was no rime or reason to the order it came out. I waited for 2 hours and 20 minutes asking every 10 minutes about my meal once everyone at our table had their food. I asked no less than 6 times and there were at least 4 other people at my table that asked on my behalf. I was offered plates (wrong order) at least 5 times. This has to be the biggest disappointment at a restaurant I have ever experienced. We watched multiple tables that were empty get served the same order I placed before they finally brought out my order. (this took 2 hours and 20 minutes). The chicken fried steak was burnt to the point I could not eat it. I will say other people in our party had issues with extremely slow service also. Needless to say, I will not be returning for any reason and I will let everyone I know not to go there. By the way, this is the first review I have ever made and I am 64 years young.
