This place is such a good spot for a taste of a home cooked meal. The chicken friend chicken was good. There was a little bit of extra breading but it wasn't bad ! Burger was a little over cooked but it had some good flavor to it ! Service was fast! The restaurant was updated with valentines decor but needed some over all slight upgrades and cleaning.. the store attached had the cutest band bags and shirts and shoes.. a little pricy though! I definitely recommend to give this place a try!

Nasty looking chicken fried steak

Our server Jessica was delightful. Food was absolutely horrible. Hamburger steak had a foul taste even the instant gravy couldn't cover. Green beans looked weeks old . Mushrooms were straight from the freezer and left a watery greasy mess on our plates. Zero flavor. Cheap styrofoam plates , ketchup is watery cheap Sysco brand . Way to expensive to serve cheap condiments and disposable plates. I'm not on a picnic. We arrived at 10:20 expecting breakfast, was told breakfast was over already because the place was empty. Well I can see why . You can't change a premium price serving instant frozen Sysco food with no flavor.

After cruising the highways and byways of Guadalupe County, I've stumbled upon this quaint little cafe a few times. The few times I have driven by, my timing has always been off. Well today, by golly, I decided to stop in and give this place a try. Upon walking in, you are first steered through a store with clothing, souvenirs, and miscellaneous knick knacks. After walking through said store, you are directed to seat yourself in their small dining area. So, we picked a seat to our liking, and got comfy. The dining room was packed with hard working farmers, one waitress taking drink orders, and one waitress taking food orders. The wait to order our drinks was a bit excessive, and the we almost considered walking out before waiting a long time to order our food. We were eventually greeted by a friendly young lady, and we placed our order. We ordered the bottle caps as an appetizer, then I ordered the fried pork chops with a baked potato and buttered corn. I was very excited about the fried chops, as you cannot find them many places. The wife ordered chicken strips (how boring, right?). My mother in law ordered the chicken fried steak. We received the bottle caps in good time and everyone at the table enjoyed them. My fried pork chops were decent. Not bad, but not as good as mom's. They were good enough to where I would get them again. The wife was not a fan of the chicken strips, as they looked frozen like the ones in the freezer section at HEB. The breading was also way too excessive. She said she will not be getting them again. The waitress also did not bring the fixings for the baked potatoes. My mother in law's chicken fried steak looked delicious, hanging over the plate, and she did not have any complaints. I do believe next time I will try the chicken fried steak. After receiving our check, we walked up to the front to pay the bill. The young lady behind the register apologized for the longer than usual wait. She explained that they were busier than usual, and they had a problem getting more staff today. She explained she called the boss and requested back up to help with the hungry crowd. The boss wished them "good luck" and decided to stay at home. To that, I say to the boss, "good luck" convincing me to give you more than three stars on this review. This easily was a four star visit, however, the poor service knocked it down a star. Your staff was very polite, and I gave my waitress the benefit of the doubt and tipped her accordingly, and more than I should have. Your "good luck" wishes were not going to cost this overworked young lady! I will give this place another try. The wife says she probably will not return. I would recommend this place to anyone passing by. But I would not recommend going out of your way for it. Enjoy!

Just had the most delicious breakfast found this quaint little country store that serves breakfast and lunch. Loved the atmosphere we will be back to try lunch next! Friendly staff and the owner's daughter is an Aggie! Doesn't get any better than that!

Chicken fried chicken with onion rings and buttered corn

Me and my family went here for my sister's memorial birthday. We never ate there before, but we decided to try it out. First off, the service was ok. We waited a very long time for our food. We waited at least 40 minutes for food. The food wasn't even the best. I ordered cheese fries, and they were the worst cheese fries I've ever eaten at a restaurant. They were HARD, and the cheese was so melted in a microwave that the cheese was burnt to the lining, and all of them were stuck together. On a scale of 1-10, the cheese fries were a 1 or 2. I would NOT recommend the cheese fries. The main food was ok. My dad didn't like his squash casserole. he or my mom didn't eat theirs. My sister and sister in law liked the onion rings. My fries were good. The burgers were ok on a scale of 1-10. I'd say my food was a 3 or 4. Now the atmosphere of this place was so nice. It was welcoming, family oriented, and very relaxed. All in all. I don't think I'd be going back here.

My husband and I stopped in to try as we just moved to the area and this place is one of the only places to eat near by. We weren't greeted right away but the service was good. I really love the hometown feel it gives off. You can tell it's where the locals go. My husband ordered the seafood plate and I ordered the burger and fries. Both were great! The fries were light and crispy and the catfish and hush puppies were on point. We will definitely be back

Love this building, lots of beautiful decor. Service was also good…read more Food is great, can't go wrong with anything it seems like! Went for lunch and enjoyed it probably even better for dinner!!

(we live in san antonio) but... the experience this time was just ok, not fantastic. despite hubbie making reservations 3 weeks in advance, and restaurant knowing it was a celebratory occasion, we were seated at the very first table - which faces the entrance. awkward location. we pretty much ordered same meal as last time. mexican shrimp cocktail - sauce was very thick in an off putting way, but shrimp was fresh and nicely chilled. hubbie got shrimp & oysters with fries. he's not one to complain much, but he said all were a bit greasy & not as crispy as he'd like. i had shrimp, scallops & broccolini. plate came with not very well prepared broccoli - with no mention from server before or upon arrival of switch. how can broccoli be both under & over at same time? unsure, but parts were very hard and others too soft, so it went mostly uneaten. i would have asked for something else if id known they didnt have broccolini. scallops & shrimp were well prepared, but light, velvety sauce from last time was replaced with slightly "gloopy" and a bit greasy sauce, didnt look or taste very appealing. brussel sprouts were drenched in some type of mayo sauce that was not mentioned on the menu. so "crispy" brussel sprouts were soggy. SO... how much of this experience was on us? we didnt complain, we didnt send back, but we would have had to send EVERYTHING back and this was our anniversary. we are not that picky that every dish needs to be perfectly prepared to our liking. but for is to encounter a problem with every dish? maybe just a bad night. but i dont feel like we received the upscale experience we paid for. only one thing was as fantastic as we remembered - the creme brûlée!

We came to Comal Crawfish Company and had the BEST experience thanks to our server, Jorge!…read more He was seriously amazing -- super attentive, constantly checking in on us, and always making sure our drinks were refilled without us even having to ask. He was so kind, knowledgeable about the menu, and just had such a welcoming, personable vibe that made the whole experience even better. He also told us about the specials for the day and made great recommendations. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. If you come here, definitely ask for Jorge -- he made our night!

Those were some good mudbugs! The server was helpful in helping us decide. We got there early on a…read moreThursday and got the 5# special which came with 2 potatoes and 2 corns. You can buy more sides if you want. Our first batch was very spicy, had the seasoning sprinkled on top. Not my favorite method, but oh well. The next round didn't have the spice on top and my husband found that more tolerable. I guess we'll order separate pounds next time LOL I like it when the cayenne makes my head itch! There's a bar area, several tvs around, and a great patio for outdoor seating. Being a crawfish place, it's super casual, and the place was packed by the time we finished. They have a lot of beers on tap and some in bottle too. I told them they should start an early happy hour, maybe 3-6pm, selling pints of draft for $5 and pounds of bugs no sides for $7... we'd definitely go!! As amazing as it was, we spent over $80 on 4 beers and 5# of crawfish and at that rate, it rivals what we spent at McAdoo's...yikes. Still, got my first fix of the season and I was pleased!
