Our stay was ABSOLUTELY perfect! The guys at Templeton's Tavern get 5 stars for the friendliest and best service ever. They made us feel very welcome and right at home with many above-and-beyond moments like bringing us an extra pickleball racket to the court when they noticed another family member show up to play. The food and drinks were great. The games and pool table were super fun. We enjoyed the live weekend music from our patio while we cooked hotdogs and s'mores over the fire. Andrea was stellar with quick communication! Housekeeping gets 5 stars because it was really impressively clean. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. The grounds are well kept and we enjoyed hiking around and seeing the beautiful wildflowers. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is unique and combines all the beauty of nature with all the comforts of home and lots of attention to detail in decor and service. The container cabins are really very pretty and the spider sculptures are a neat touch. The sunset view is so amazing my tween girl ordered us all to the upstairs balcony to take it in. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends and family. We were sad to leave and will 100% be back. Best Spring Break ever.

The furnishings are tore up, even though you pay a $75 cleaning fee they require you to strip the beds, wash the dishes, and take all your garbage to the dumpster that isn't close. The WATER! Smells like a mixture of vomit and sewage that you bathe in. The restaurant/bar is a food truck and some bartenders that sat on top of the cooler for the night. Bun on sandwich was so burnt you couldn't eat it and when I left a google review the owner said I was rude so I guess that is all ok with her! Be careful though, they spy on you while you are there. 30 mintues before checkouT the "housekeeper" cased the place and then parked in front of the dumpsters and watched us... so creepy. Don't waste your money. It's HORRID, plus read the review on Google that says the same thing and the owners response. I'm rude because I kindly called out you overcharge for a dump! I am calling the health department on that food truck they call a restaurant and it. Is Luke a old creepy murder movie they way they spy on you in the dilapidated grounds...gross!

When checking out I inquired as to how much I owed. I headed her the amount t in cash with a generous tip, but asked if the amount was correct for what we ordered. She said yes it is, and proceeded to tell another customer that she gets asked this question often and it clearly frustrated her. Overpriced and weak drinks, atmosphere is pleasant enough, as I said the locals were friendly and welcoming, it I suspect that given a choice in Blanco, even the locals would abandon it for a better and reasonably priced drink, without the X rated " entertainment " from behind the bar.

I've been looking for a good authentic pub in Central TX but unfortunately have not found it yet…read more We went in on a Sunday afternoon. It was not busy. Service was good and friendly. There's a good variety of beer/liquor. Food was meh. The batter on the fish and chips wasn't great - it was thick rather than crispy and flaky. And it was one giant piece of fish shaped like a log. Comes with ketchup, tartar sauce, and mushy peas. We had to request vinegar. I was looking forward to the peas but they were awful. They had an odd flavor to them that I couldn't pinpoint. The shepherds pie was also just ok. It was mostly meat and I don't think it's made with fresh potato (seemed like boxed potatoes). It honestly reminded me of a Stouffers meal. The inside was neat and clean yet cozy and pub-like. I'd return for a pint but not for the grub.

Well the last two times I ordered I received regular ranch instead of Vegan ranch. Yesterday when I got my black bean burger there were pieces of bacon on it . Now I understand this is the risk you take with ordering at places like this, but a grill separator is not expensive. Nor is it a big ask to use a separate spatula. I was so grossed out I threw my entire meal away. Now I'm not even sure the okra batter is vegan like I was told. Im glad I'm vegan by choice and not for health reasons, because I'm sure this meal would have made me sick. I didn't even eat pork prior to becoming vegan. To find it in my food lets me know this place doesn't care about taking steps to avoid cross contamination. So I will not be returning.

Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

I ordered the fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! It was cooked well, if a little too much breading for my taste. The chips were really good. The tartar sauce was different than I am used to, a little runny and pink tinged, but it was good. The mushy peas were yummy and added an authenticity to the dish. I didn't really use the curry sauce that also came with the dish. To me it doesn't go with fish or chips. I did taste it, and the flavor was great.
