    Herbert's is a cute authentic spot with Mexican decor and vibrant energy from their servers to the aesthetics. they start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. i ordered their brisket tacos which comes with rice + beans and a side of guac. brisket was shredded and tender. they offer both corn and flour tortillas with your meal. the Micheladas are also very good and have the perfect combo of mix / beer. this solace accommodates big groups and has great attentive service.

    Food is great. Love their chips and salsa. Their margaritas are really good but what's bad is that they put a lot of alcohol in it and felt....a little tipsy after a short while. The server was great and explained very well the menu and their specials. Place is big and most of the time we eat/drink outdoor!

    We walked in on a Monday at 12:30 ish and the place wasn't to busy. We were seated right away and able to order shortly after. The weather was so cold out so thank god I got some food in me. The restaurant smelled great when we walked in so that's always a good sign. The inside of the restaurant was very colorful and they even seemed to have a small gift and goodies shop. One tiny problem we ran into was with my mom's first bite of food. There was a wrapper in her beans. It looked like a piece of wax paper from a stick of butter. Everything else was good. I'd go back for seconds

    I've been going to Herbert's for many years. I have only had positive experiences. This was the first time at the New Braunfel's location. Service and food is fast and fresh..

    To start - I called on our way over there and asked about a waitlist or reservation and they said no, but then we got there and tables said "reserved" so my mom asked and they said they do take reservations... manager came to talk to her and she said "those were made last week". So they dont take reservations the day of or what? The playground is quite rambunctious! Made my mom super nervous for my 3yo niece. Too many older kids (like10+) and some of them kept opening the gate to go out to chase a ball they threw over. Definitely a lot of stimuli so I didn't even get to enjoy the ambiance and outside because they were so nervous and freakin out the whole time. The food was ok. Fajita Taco was good and quesadillas are awesome. However, Chili gravy needs more chili pepper and flavor. Queso was ehhhh. Guac was decent. My skinny marg was carbonated a bit limey but they do make their own mix. Wasn't impressed with the house marg either. The kids quesadilla was amazing tho! Rice is dry and bland, the salsa was spicy though which was nice! So meal was not what I was expecting for the parking that's usually packed. This was our first trip, my moms been wanting to try since its always poppin there. But we probably wont return.

    Bland chicken

    This is a super cute spot but the food isn't good. I had the chicken enchiladas and the chicken had zero seasoning. It tastes boiled. I couldn't finish my meal. I even mentioned it to the waitress and she just said, "sorry" and handed me my check.. haha. I won't be coming back.

    $8.99 (July 2024) Beef enchiladas lunch special. It comes with a drink! Enchilada gravy....drool!

    Bubba's Big Deck on the Guadalupe River!…read more Bubba's used to located in Gruene along the river and was washed out in floods way too many times to even count. They would rebuild, just for another flood to hit again. Well, the finally gave up. ... Until... Bubba's found the old Abbot's River Outfitter location along River Road. It really is a perfect location. I love that they have a second bar along closer to the river to spread the crowd out. The bar is open air, laid back, perfect for tourists or the local crowd... very biker friendly. If they still have jerky options, grab a variety. We did, and the jerky was good enough for me to mention if that says anything. You know, when out in the middle of the country, you just gotta take advantage of what's available if the munchies arise. Might as well grab another ice cold beer too! My best friend and I have always loved hitting up Bubba's and we are happy to see they made a comeback!

    This review is for other bands that might be thinking about playing at this venue…read more Directions: Finding the place from San Antonio is not difficult. Directions on the web appear to be accurate. From San Antonio, take I35N. Take the Rueckle Rd/337 exit and at the stop light go left across I35. Follow 337 until you see River Road. Turn left onto River Road and follow it until you see Bubba's on your right. Load-In: Load-in is not bad. Coming down River Road, there is a short driveway in front of the stage that you can pull off on to unload. It will take you up to the level of the stage (which is considerably above street height) and you can transfer your gear from there to the stage. Although most of the path is planked with wood, you will have to negotiate some steps to get everything onto the stage. Once you've completed unloading, you can move your vehicle on the driveway so that it's out of the sight lines from the stands across the street and just leave it in place. Stage: Bubba's stage is an unusual conformation. It's outdoors, located between the two main buildings and set right in front of a tall rock face. The stage is covered and protected from the sun except in the late afternoon, when stage right gets plenty of direct sunlight. In fact, the sun was so strong that gear on our pedalboard overheated and shut down. We found that directing a fan to blow directly on it solved that problem. The stage itself is two levels - a lower front platform about five feet deep and a higher rear platform slightly less deep. Stage right has an extension of the lower level out in front of it which we used to put the stage-right PA stacks on. There is no place to put the stage-left stacks except on the lower front platform. This significantly reduces the space for the band. As a three-piece band, however, we had no problem at all with fitting comfortably on the stage. The rear platform is perhaps two feet higher than the front platform and makes a nice drum riser. Our drummer had no problem putting his kit up there. The power situation is somewhat funky. There is an outlet hidden on stage right, but it has no power. There is a white outlet box on stage left with a single pair of outlets that have power. A duo might be able to run a small PA off this. We used it to run our PA tops and some of the stage gear. A mysterious extension cord was draped over the wall at stage left. Our bassist used this to power his gear. There are more outlets on the wall of the building off to the band's left. We used these to run the sub-woofer amps. Everything worked fine and we had no popped breakers during the gig. Be sure to bring extension cords. All outlets were grounded. Lighting: The venue has no stage lights. You will want to bring your own. Sound System: The club has no sound system, so you'll need to bring your own. We ran our entire system and had the unusual experience of being complemented by a number of folks who were pleased that we were loud enough to actually present a real rock experience. You need to understand that your audience is on the other side of River Road, at least 90 feet away so, if you're playing rock, a pair of 15" woofers and satellite tops on poles aren't going to cut it. Layout: The stage is located outdoors between the two main buildings on the side of the road opposite the river. Although there is an open, two-story, covered seating area across the road, it is not directly in front of the band. There is no seating in front of the band on the stage side of the road. The bar is in the large building to the band's left, so there is no problem with bartenders and waitresses being unable to hear orders because of the band. Volume: We were able to bring our volume up to what we considered a comfortable level for a classic rock band with no issues. Note that it took our entire 10,000 watt FOH system to do this. Comfort: This is outdoors, so there is no temperature control. There is no real windbreak for cold days. The stage is covered for summer use, but you will want to bring fans. Be aware that the rock face behind the stage is home for a number of insects, including bees and mosquitos. You will need insect repellent. Miscellaneous: We broadcasted this gig via Facebook Live and had trouble maintaining an Internet connection during the broadcast. Parking: Parking is along the street. Venue Management: Pleasant and easy to work with. We look forward to our next gig here. Overall: We had a very good gig. The crowd was enthusiastic and responsive. We are excited about the prospect of returning for another engagement.

Plenty of seating options from stools to Adirondack chairs, as well as fire pits for those chilly nights. They don't actually serve food, but there is a food truck outside the entrance. I don't know if it changes, but this truck offered tacos and quesadillas that night. We didn't have any. Drinks are just OK. Beer selection is poor if you're a picky beer drinker. The margaritas are from a machine and a little on the weak side. Since I was the DD, I ordered a soda and it was awful. A lot of bars go cheap and serve off-brand sodas because people will mix them with alcohol and not notice that they aren't the "real deal." I couldn't drink it. It was so bad, I shuddered after every sip - and then I gave up. I ordered a water, and that was just as terrible! I don't know if it's the dispenser gun that carries over the flavors of everything else that comes out of it, or the ice is funky, or what, but I couldn't drink that either. I wish they'd have bottled water or something. Canned soda? Something that will make it enjoyable for everyone, not just the alcohol consumers? Being an occasional DD, there has to be something for me to enjoy, too, since I'm the one who decides how long we'll stay and when we'll leave if it's not good. Service was walk-up to the bar. Still, I give it 4 stars just because the overall vibe is really cool and the band we love was playing that night.

    Not much color. Is what it is, I mean, we know it's in New Braunfels. Went on a Wednesday night…read more Ordered a Dos and a margarita. Come up to $13. That wasn't bad.

Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. The only thing I would have loved was a little more creativity or guidance with the cocktails. The space gives the impression that you're about to get a true mixologist-style experience, but the recommendations we received were pretty standard, like Old Fashioneds and martinis.
