Such an incredible vibe and restaurant. As a horror fan, it felt like I was taking a pilgrimage. The wait staff was incredibly nice and honest, the whole experience was a dream come true 10 stars! read more

The atmosphere is really nice. However, the food is extremely bland. I had the chicken parm. The noodles and the chicken were soggy and had no flavor. The service was decent. The server messed up a couple of orders but he was really polite and friendly. Overall a place you will go to once to check out the atmosphere but not somewhere you would eat at regularly. read more

Major upgrade at Hoopers! New owners have improved the food. Tacos are great! But the best news They have Annie as a bartender! read more

Hoopers is a local bar but they do not have specials for the locals. Food not great and it's really expensive there for what you get. Drinks are so over priced. I'm not a fan of this place and that sucks cause I live in MF. Would recommend to doing 1 night for the locals and do drink specials and it will be much better. read more

If you are in to Texas Chainsaw Massacre, then it's a must stop. Food and drinks are mid, service was good. Mostly it's the creepy vibe that some people love that is the draw for this place. read more

excellent burgers in old-fashioned cafe. service could not have been better. Fries - perfect. can not wait to get back.

So we went there for brunch and i ordered the brisket hash. There was very little meat and the meat that was there was burnt. The total disappointment was they could only serve me one mimosa because at 10:30 they ran out of champagne at 10:30 for brunch. . The service was very slow, however they were very nice. read more

Had chicken fried steak - potatoes great as was gravy ( appetizers was also very good queso) the disaster was the chicken fried steak. I don't know what the breading was but it was about a quarter to a half inch thick and terrible. read more

This place is coming back around after changing up the format a bit. Food is good and service was speedy. One of our fav brunch spots in the hill country. read more

It's always interesting to go to Hooper's. The food is good and they have a few vegetarian entrees. The staff is very nice and friendly. The bar is cute and comfortable. It's a great place to meet friends. read more

We're new to town and like sitting at the bar to eat and drink and meet people. Rustic, but charming. The bar tenders were engaging and friendly. They knew the menu and we each had a burger fries and beer. Nothing went wrong with any if it. Will 100% go back and continue to explore the menu and cocktails. read more

Horrible hamburger. Probably one of the worst. Maybe a quarter pounder on a stale brioche bun. My wife could not eat the Huevos Rancheros.

Great lunch and dinner specials. Surprise it is a combo gas, convenience store with a cafe. Friendly wait staff good food reasonable prices.

Renovations are finally done. This place looks amazing the food is better than ever!! Kingsland vibe is alive!

My wife and I were hoping to eat a New Year's Eve dinner at the new Junction Prime steakhouse, but it was closed. Hooper's was open next door, so we went there instead. We've eaten breakfast at Hooper's before, which was always delicious. It was a very busy evening, but we were able to sit at the bar. Still hungry for a steak, we both ordered the ribeye, which was incredibly delicious! Cooked perfectly, served with lightly sautéed zucchini, the meal was outstanding! It's a fun, relaxing dining atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the Kingsland area. read more

Fun place, good food, great area. Super clean, friendly bartenders, all in all a great time.

Ordered a sweet potato hash which is supposed to have sweet potatoes, poached egg, arugula, toasted pumpkin seeds, feta, English muffin, etc. Waited thirty minutes for our order. Got a bowl of cut sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. No poached egg or arugula or pumpkin seeds or muffin or feta. I asked where's the rest of the ingredients and the server just walked away and brought me a fried egg to put in the bowl. Oh, it was cold which you wouldn't think would be the case after waiting thirty minutes. Think I'll come back on six months and see if things have improved. read more

This establishment has exceeded our expectations immensely. The brunch rivals any brunch you could get in Austin, for a fraction of the price. Walking across the street for a coffee after ordering our food was delightful! The wait was quick for a Sunday morning brunch, and our server was fantastic. The building has a ton of natural light and they're digging a huge garden out front. Instant classic! read more

Great place to have breakfast in Kingsland! Laid back atmosphere. Looks like they are transforming this place!

This establishment changed hands, and while service is still excellent the food has gone completely downhill and the new owners don't give two 's what you or anyone else thinks. The lake region has a small year round community and by alienating that group I don't think the addition of a steakhouse, is going to be successful. I won't be back, but who cares? New ownership certainly doesn't. My best wishes to the staff, but if I were one of you, I'd start looking for a new employer before you're out of a job. read more

Average food that is overpriced, slow service. We did think it had a nice atmosphere. Wish it was a better choice in town.

I have been to Hoopers about 3 times now. First visit, good food, service was fast, Overall very happy. Second visit, waitress takes her time to ever get to you even though she has plenty of time to be eating herself. Food was ok. A lot of loud children in the bar which I never understand why children are allowed in a bar? Still, I would try it again. Third trip, waited forever for anyone to even speak much less bring me a glass of water, bring me a menu, etc. I'm literally sitting @ the bar, no way they can miss me. Again, waitress snippy and never bothers to check on you. Food takes forever today. Nobody hardly in the bar but they tell me kitchen is backed up. Finally after long wait, I tell another waitress my blood sugar is low so she says let me grab you some chips. Which she comes back with chips and salsa. Not once was I told this would be like $7. Then, I order a red blend wine. I'm not asked which one I would like, never told how much. Given a wine glass less than 1/3 full and charged $15 for it. My bill ended up being almost $60 for lunch! A cold sandwich and 2 drinks. Oh and also, even though I love dogs, having a dog in your lap eating with you is not sanitary. Nobody wants to eat off a plate that a dog has been licking on. This will be my last trip read more

Waited over hour for food to come out. Do not recommend. Kept being told just a few more minutes

During the initial wait, the host was friendly, but no updates were provided after we were told it would be a 30-40 minute wait. We ended up waiting an hour for a table. Just as we were about to be seated, we were informed that there would be an additional hour-long wait for our food. This was frustrating and led us to leave the restaurant without dining, as we didn't plan on wasting another hour for a total of two hours. Upon leaving, we saw people who arrived after us already seated and eating in the bar area. It was unclear why the seating and food service took longer inside than in the bar area. The only difference I saw was the color of my skin. read more

Super pretentious!! Trying to be like austin and killing the small town lake charm. Prices are too high for the poor quality of food. And the fact that they want to "attract better clientele to kingsland" fells like they think they are better than the locals. Won't be back, will not recommend, will beg folks to not come here! read more

Worst food ever. We got breakfast here and the eggs came out like they cracked it onto the plate without cooking anything. Would not recommend. read more

Great food and great staff! The visit upstairs was a cool surprise sight to see. We had the shrimp tacos, chicken slaughter sandwich, chips and queso. All delicious! read more

Hoopers is great - they've had their share of ups and downs with new owners/management but seem to be running smoothly now. Food is awesome. The shrimp tacos and loaded fries are to die for! Amanda the bartender is straight awesome. Great spot with lots of history. read more

Excellent grub with amazing service by really friendly folks! The vibe is incredible in this historic house. The food and drinks are worthy of frequency. read more

Ordered a slice of quiche and it was about two bite sizes and unheated. Preferred the quiche when it was served by neighbor store across the street, Kingsland Coffee. read more

My husband and I live locally and wanted to give Hooper's another try. We have visited once before and ordered breakfast. Decent, 4 of 5. Today however was a different story. We went during lunch hour and lunch and dinner was available, not breakfast. We both ordered chicken parmesan. We were one of the only customers in the building when we ordered. Other customers began to come and and they received there meals before we did. Our meal came. Not real hot. Luke warm. The chicken was cooked, therefore the one star. The recipe was not true Italian. The menu mentioned the alfredo sauce on the pasta yet still a stretch for chicken parmesan. There was zero, literally zero seasoning on the chicken or the pasta. Pasta overcooked. The alfredo sauce had a funny taste. Maybe bad brand jar pasta sauce. The server gave us a salt and pepper shaker. On top of this disastrous, each meal was $23. Not sure a third try is in the cards. read more

Jenny and Annie were helpful, friendly, and fun to chat with. The place is awesome. Atmosphere is great. Service is how everywhere else should be. read more

Everything is always wonderful when I go. Amanda is the best bartender! We love coming while she is working.

Was really hyped to try their brunch menu. Came in around 1245 pm on a weekday, not very crowded. First, approaching the restaurant, we were stopped by a woman who was sent by a man in the landscaping crew(?) to inform us we needed to park in their new parking lot. We were legally parked on a public street, so I ignored them. Came in, seated right away, ordered 2 waters and 1 coffee, was served promptly, made our orders (benedict and an omelet) and were then ignored for 20 minutes. I finally got up and chased the waitress/hostess/busser/ landscape assistant down to ask for a coffee refill. (Spoiler, it was the last one I got, and we were never offered water refills!) Another 15 minutes pass, and I flagged her down to ask about the food, she said "should be out in a minute". 10 more minutes, she comes over laughing that "the printer broke, so the kitchen never got your order". Wasn't that funny to us. Another 15 minutes pass, and the food comes out. She delivers it without asking about drink refills. We ate our "okay" food, then after another 15 minutes passed of just sitting and waiting, I got up and found her to ask for a to-go box. I should've known that wouldn't clue her in that we wanted to leave, but alas, I was forced to go find her again to ask to pay our bill so we could escape. Despite sitting there over an hour and a half, and never having refilled our drinks (without us having to hunt her down for the 1 coffee refill I got!) there was no apology given for the wait, nor any compensation offered, other than "I didn't charge you for the coffee". So disappointing. The server was very nice, but the system is obviously a failure. (I still tipped her 20%). Probably won't be back. What a shame. read more

We loved everything about this place! The house is a 1909 Sears catalog house, ordered online and eventually used in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. Renee, our very friendly waitress let us take a peek around at all the old, original woodwork and floor plan. The food was outstanding. We had shrimp and grits and tacos for dinner, then went back for breakfast the next morning to enjoy a Cowboy Breakfast and the Sweet Potato Hash Benedict. Everything was beyond our expectations. read more

I have a lake house in Kingsland and was very excited to see this restaurant and overall property be remodeled and re-envisioned by new owners. In fact we have met the new owner several times and he is an incredibly nice and service oriented guy and that is why this pains me to write this review. The work that was done on the victorian home and the addition of Junction Prime steakhouse was nicely done but the food at Hoopers needs more work. We have been to the restaurant once for breakfast and gave it another try for dinner. At breakfast I had a benedict dish. The very definition of benedict is that it is served with hollandaise sauce. When it arrived I jokingly said that the hollindaise sauce was accidentally left off and the server said that they don't serve it with the sauce and you have to pay extra. I agreed to the extra $2 charge and they brought me a full cereal bowl worth of it. I promise you it would have been more cost effective to just drizzle a bit on top because having made it before, that bowl probably cost at least $5 worth of butter and eggs. The service was good though as was the atmosphere on the front porch on a nice day. Next we tried dinner. We walk in and stand at the hostess stand for at least 5 minutes with several people walking by and ignoring us until finally we went to the bar area to ask and they said only the pub area was open. They did seat us quickly and the service through the meal was good. The food though was subpar. The carnitas sandwich became an unfortunate sloppy joe that was so sweet it was barely edible. The carnitas needed to shine, not the sauce. It makes you wonder if there was something up with the meat. The shrimp on the tacos tasted strongly of soap. Three people tried them and all agreed. The Ceaser salad could have come out of a bag at HEB, and the burger was described as McDonalds quality The only meal of six that was good were the chicken tenders and that was all eaten because everyone was hungry after disappointing meals. I say all of this not to rail and complain, but to give room for improvement. They did ask a number of times if everything was okay but I did not want to make a scene in the small atmosphere. I have no doubt they would have tried to make it right but there wasn't really too much that could be done and I wasn't going to be one of those people trying to get a free meal. You guys have put so much work and effort in this property. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good the surroundings look if the food is not good. Please use higher quality ingredients and hire a true chef that carefully creates the menu instead of a cook. I do not write reviews often but don't want to loose a restaurant in this small town and have faith this can be turned around. read more

Good food nut very pricey. Ordered two breakfast tacos and two cokes and it was $26.

We had a great lunch and our server Tory/Cory was super polite and helpful. Everyone was super kind and despite them being super busy our food was timely and delicious. Definitely recommend read more

Hooper's is a restaurant in a beautiful old farmhouse where "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" was filmed. It has a great bar and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The weekend brunch was amazing. Fortunately, we got there early because we didn't have reservations and it gets very busy. It is very popular with the locals and tourists. read more
