Pleasant Lakeway location. Awesome outdoor deck under large oaks (providing a surplus of shade). Booths a plus! A well-balanced, tasty menu with just enough variety. Disappointed there was no live music Indoor ambience: minimal. Fun and friendly service team. read more

I will never go here again. Bathrooms are broken and dirty. Food has gone downhill as the prices are higher. Issues with the New ownership relating to several things. read more

Delicious food, reasonable prices & friendly staff. The Burrata was uniquely appetizing. Yum! Brussel sprouts had an amazing blend of spices with a touch of sweetness. Yum, too! Craft beers as well as a full bar. Please support them during this Covid crisis. I will cry if it closes. read more

I tried out the new menu on 11/8/23 during happy hour. The food was perfect to go with beer. We had the hot pretzel sticks with beer cheese and the beer-braised bratwurst with sauerkraut and cheese. Our server, Jenn, was very attentive and helpful as one of us was trying to select a wine. We will be back! read more

The overall quality of not only food but ingredients and recipes has declined drastically in recent months. The caesar salad dressing went from creamy and rich with anchovy, to a simple blend of olive oil and parmesan cheese. Brunch items consist primarily of store bought premade processed ingredients straight from HEB. Sitting outside long enough you will notice employees running back and forth with bags from the HEB next door as the restaurant runs short on supplies throughout the day. A simple stroll toward the bathroom provides a clear view of the pantry stocked primarily with Knorr mixes and highly processed precompiled ingredients. For example a $22 Eggs Benedict Entree consisted of store bought Thomas English Muffins, pre-packaged ice cold Parma Prosciutto, Ore-Ida frozen potato cubes, and "hollandaise inspired" Knorr Bearnaise sauce powdered mix (almost more powder than liquid sauce). The side of bacon I ordered was unmistakably signature Hormel fully cooked bacon drenched in liquid smoke and processed applewood flavoring. It is truly a disappointment to see a local staple that once emphasized farm to table ingredients transition to a business model that more closely resembles "frozen food aisle to table." read more

My family and I went to Hops and Thyme today for lunch. It was ok. The patio area is nicely shaded. The beer selection is decent. The food was mediocre. My kids got the chicken and waffle, hubby got a breakfast bowl of poached eggs, spinach, and potatoes, I got the Asian salad with shrimp and we had Brussel sprouts for a starter. Pro: the breakfast bowl was decent. The eggs were slightly over cooked but not too bad, potatoes not overly fried, tomatoes tasted fresh along with the mushrooms and spinach. The chicken with the waffles was tender, not over cooked. The shrimp was not over cooked. Our server was attentive but it took a bit for anyone to greet us. Cons: The sprouts were overly fried yet cold, the dressing from the salad tasted like teriyaki sauce straight from a package, and my kids waffle tasted like it came from a box. I don't even think the "butter" that came with it was real butter. I had been wanting to try this place. I don't think I would go back but I'm glad I gave it a try. read more

Great food, drinks and best staff ever. Outdoor area is really nice. Live music is always good. Lakeway gem.

Holy yum!!! If you haven't checked out this inconspicuous gem in Lakeway, you are missing out. I'll never post a rave review unless I've had multiple outings in a row of outstanding food and service. Hops and Thyme has far exceeded ANY expectations! Check them out Tuesday for $1 wings. Thursday is burger night. Burgers are amazing but the fries that come with them are out of this world!!! read more

Nice outdoors. Food was very good. Try the fried cornbread bites. OMG! Good place for a football game. The lady owner needs to chill a bit, we all know Covid is among us. So, things might be a bit slower. Just pitch in instead of handing out excuses. Your staff was doing quite well but you kept trying to move us but we were spaced out nicely. We will be back read more

Under the new ownership, Hops and Thyme is better than ever! You gotta swing by and check this place out!

Very dissatisfied with my experience at your restaurant for the following reasons: 1.) I made arrangements with Ross in advance regarding bringing a large group of seniors for lunch today. He said he would be there but I did not see him or have any greeting at all when we arrived. A table had been set up for our party, but at other restaurants during our monthly meetings we have felt much more welcome. 2.) I was looking forward to your corn chowder that I loved a few weeks ago. It was okay, but definitely a different recipe and not nearly as good. Hint: The quickest way for a restaurant to lose good customers is to change a loved dish and call it the same name. Ex: I loved a French Pot Roast at a certain restaurant, and found It to be prepared exactly the same way at another restaurant in the chain. Just what I had expected! Imagine if McDonald's started using ground pork instead of beef in their burgers! 3.) With such an ample array of beers, one senior was offered no advice on selection and did not drink her beer. Our group will not be back. There are several much better restaurants in which to enjoy our monthly luncheons. Shirley Schwartz read more

The food that we ordered was inedible ... crispy Brussels sprouts and chicken wings ... awful awful awful ... that was my first and only time ... the so called owner apologized. I requested that he refund our money ... he said that he would ... he never has ... ever. He gives excuse after excuse. Beware going to this facility. Oh ... l became sick for an entire day from what l did eat. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. I was looking for a place with good food and drinks close to my airbnb. And I hit the jackpot! In terms of customer service, the bartender (Amy?) was super welcoming and thoughtful. She was particular to detail and very personable. Five stars just for that. In terms of drinks, I had the $12 dollar beer flight. It came with a bunch of Texas hoppy IPAs. I loved it. Especially since I'm from out of town. For food, I had the BSM fried cornbread. Absolutely amazing. If my health wasn't an issue, I would've had like 10 servings. Overall, had an amazing evening. read more

Great service, great atmosphere, great live music Itty bitty portions The $12 pasta is worth about $3 read more

Wow. Just wow. In LAKEWAY ???? The food is REALLY good, and a fantastic selection of beers. Phenomenal place. It's more of a lunch spot, and that's a shame because whoever put the menu together really knows what they are doing. Great place. read more

Well, we visited this restaurant for the first time. Upon entering, they had wonderful entertainment, but her mic was way too loud. I could not hear the mate'rd so op-ed to eat outdoors. By first glance, the cushion covers at some of the tables were busting open with stuffing exposed. It took staff a bit to clean the table while we were standing in the dining section. When we sat down, and the weathered cushions scratched the back of our legs. The staff were incredibly nice but there was a long wait for even the food. My children ordered lemonades and I had a passion fruit/pineapple margarita and both were watered down. We also had nachos and wings as appetizers. Both were something my kids could pull together in the kitchen The flavoring of the dry rub wings was off for me. The presentation and taste of the nachos were mediocre. There were not enough fans going to cool things off and to keep the bugs away.There was a contraption on the table I think to keep bugs away but was broken. We decided to leave and did not opt for dinner. The bill was $75 and left a $20 tip. I found the bill high for the level of food and atmosphere. My experience was extremely disappointing and will never return. I love to support local restaurants, unfortunately this one has a lot of work to be done. Probably the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. The food felt like something I would be happy with at a baseball or football concession stand, read more

Eh. It was just ok. We came for lunch at 2 on a Thursday and the patio was nice and cool. I liked the misters and vibe in general. We ordered a burger to split and it took like 25 minutes, which seemed like forever since there were only three other people in the place. Burger came and it was SUPER salty. Garlic Parmesan fries were underdone and really oily and all of the cheese and garlic was in a pile under them. Bleh. I don't think we'd come back again. Server was really nice. read more

My breakfast was awful. I ordered the poached eggs over vegetables with potatoes. First time it came out it was way too salty so I sent it back. Second time it came out it was swimming in water. Rather than try for a third time I kept it and picked out what I could eat. Received the bill and we were overcharged for the five dollar bloody Mary's, we were actually charge six dollars each. Not sure we will come back again. On the upside my husband Had the ham Benedict and a short stack. I didn't try his benedict but I can tell you the short stack was amazing! We did have to order extra syrup because they do come pretty dry but other than that they were great. read more

This place is fantastic! We are visiting from Oregon and had lunch here recently. For Oregonians who are well versed in beervana this place is hooked up with some great local brews. We shared the best brussel sprouts we have had here in austin to date, they are prepared with agave, lime, mint and basil and fried cornbread with honey butter that was completely savage. For our main dishes we had a BLT that my husband described as "phenomenal" and I had the Kale salad with the addition of shrimp and avocado. Our server Ari was perfectly attentive, not to much, just enough. We will back for sure. read more

I love this place! The beer selection is spectacular and the bartenders serving it know their stuff. The food is consistently very good! This is a very good neighborhood hang out. I love it when the weather is good and you can sit on the patio and listen to music. It makes me happy. The only reason why I am not giving the place 5 stars is that they are understaffed a decent amount. The servers are trying hard and very nice, but just can't keep up sometimes. It would also help to expand the menu a bit, but the kitchen is very small. I highly recommend the burrata, brussel sprouts and tacos. Burger is also very good. read more

So close to getting a five, but for almost half the things we tried to order (beer or food) were out on a Saturday night at 8pm. The food that we did get to eat was top notch and the service was good. I wasn't really all that disappointed that they were out of some food items because everything is really good. I don't really understand them being out of a beer on a Saturday night and not have backups for staples (i.e. Electric Jellyfish) or alternatives to take the place of other, not as common, beers. We tried to order 5 different beers that were out. They have a great back porch and friendly staff. I'll be back. read more

Found this little gem looking for another place in Lakeway, and I'm glad we found it. The cheese and charcuterie board was cheaper than anywhere else we've been! They have a vast selection on beers on tap, and a very decent wine list. Service was great and ladies make you feel like you've been there for years. read more

Dude! What a hidden gem! We were greeted by the bartender, who was super sweet and hospitable (which sadly has seemed to disappear during covid) and called ahead to make sure we wouldn't be forced to put a mask on our family, they said it was the guests choice, hallelujah! The menu was interesting and diverse, the kitchen was open, and the vibe was fun, the employees were all around happy & sweet! The food was excellent: the Brussels probably the best we've ever had, the confit chicken legs, succulent, the chili had delicious Indian inspired undertones, and the burger was perfectly cooked and absolutely perfect. You know good quality meat when you taste it, not covered in sauces, and hit a home run, they even lettuce wrapped it for us! Service from beginning to end was a breath of fresh air, and we cannot wait to return. Thank you to the chef, bartender and all staff, we have a new local favorite! Cheers! read more

Hops & Thyme - Best Brussels Ever!!! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Lakeway, Texas

What a gem! A friend recommended Hops and Thyme and we've been three times already. Everything here is delicious, innovative, well thought out and contributes to an overall experience you don't find many places. Every beer, appetizer and dish we've tried has exceeded our expectations but here are the standouts: THE FRIED CORNBREAD is unreal. Charred carrots with pistachios is very tasty and a big portion for an appetizer. The Brussels sprouts are tasty with a mint flavor different from most. They have a huge selection of beers and the staff really know their stuff. You just have to tell them what you like or don't like and they'll somehow come up with your new favorite that you've never heard of. I'd highly recommend letting them put together a flight of four beers for you to try things like Vietnamese coffee porters, bourbon barrel beers, sours, and other unique flavors. Lastly, you absolutely have to get dessert. We never order dessert out but it's a must here. They have these little bites that are the perfect ending to a meal. The atmosphere is pretty cool with a nice patio area. They even had live music outside when we went on a Friday night. TLDR: amazing food, beer, happy hour, brunch service and atmosphere. Definitely a must try in Lakeway! read more

Great menu...lots to choose from and a great selection of draft beers Ambiance outside dining under the live oaks is wonderful read more

Wow! Unexpectedly Good food! We had the Burrata starter - awesome if you like Burrata you won't be disappointed! The cornbread bites were good and the carrots were good too. The entree's were really good! The Salmon was Canadian Atlantic - awesome! The fried rice was great too & the shrimp & grits were great too! Good food, Ross was very service oriented & made good Rec's! We will be back! read more

Fantastic restaurant!!! First time to this restaurant and we'll definitely be back. Outstanding food and service!! I had the BBQ baby back ribs and my wife had the salmon. Both dishes we're spot-on!! Super high quality ingredients with delicious homemade sauces. Salmon on a bed of creamy risotto and the ribs on whipped mash potatoes. Not your traditional dryrub Texas BBQ. We had a few martini's "up" and they were perfect. Very generous size...Shaken with little ice crystals. We got to meet the owner Eric and he's a great guy that you can tell has tremendous passion for his business and ensures his guests are well taken care of. Real attention to detail for a small neighborhood grill. Found out that the chef has two Michelin Stars and his food backs it up! Finally, our waitress Shannon was as Friendly, kind and prompt as you could hope for. Live music too!! Great neighborhood spot!!! Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Tasty food, friendly and timely services plus good music. Very family friendly, especially at the patio.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Not what it used to be. Horrible service and food. Chicken sandwich tasted like a microwave meal. Save your money and go somewhere else read more

First time visit. Nice restaurant. Too cold to go outdoor but it would be nice during warmer days for sure. Small kitchen and small menu with decent size bar. The food we ordered was very good. Smell of seafood overwhelmed the restaurant upon entry. Interesting layout where trays of utensils, etc from the kitchen come through the restaurant to get to cleaning room which is right off the traffic to the restrooms. Shannon was outstanding waitress! In all, will return but it didn't become our go to restaurant. read more

First time coming here and we left so happy!! Mad at myself for not remembering the bartenders name, but he was a super sweet and very welcoming! We ordered an Old Fashioned and some strawberry lemon fizz drink, and both were amazing. Boyfriend had a burger, I had the Lemon pepper salmon and broccoli with black rice, and we both want to come back specifically for those meals. Love this place! Our new go-to. read more

Ross, Ross, he's our man, if he can't serve us no one can. By now I must have told at least fifty people to check this place out. Was so excited to come back again. Even more excited to have Ross as our server again. Simply the best. Tonight my ordering was up to him. He recommended the chicken succotash and it was amazing. The broccoli is also a must have. The live music was great and the price is always right. read more
