    There is so much of Castroville to explore, and every time I visit my family, I always find a cool…read morenew place. Did I know there was a beautiful golf course in Castroville? No. Did I know there was a Castroville-favorite restaurant there as well? Also no. We had to try it. Located inside the Alsatian Golf Club's clubhouse is their 19th-hole restaurant and bar: Julianna's Restaurant. Upon entry, you realize the place has been around for some time. It feels very classic San Antonio, with wooden walls accented by tan and white bricks. The restaurant's aged interior gives it a cozy, lodge-like charm. Though the restaurant was pretty busy on a Saturday night, we were seated instantly at a booth that gave me a perfect view of the Georgia-Alabama game on the bar's TV. After nine or eighteen holes, you never know what you're in the mood for. That's why Julianna's has plenty of options: sandwiches, pizzas, pasta, seafood, steaks, and other meat dishes. Our server came by very quickly and got us our drinks, which for me was a tall Saint Arnold Oktoberfest. I had a tough time deciding between two options: a bone-in pork chop or their creamy Cajun pasta. I opted for the bone-in pork chop with a Caesar salad, bacon green beans, and herb rice. My dad got the creamy Cajun pasta, and my mom got the Southwest chicken. It wasn't long until the Caesar salad came out, with huge croutons and a generous helping of dressing. It was excellent to the point my mom wished she had ordered it over her chicken tortilla soup, which she also enjoyed. If you ever order a meat entrée and they stick a steak knife in it, you're in for an ESPN Instant Classic. The pork chop was huge, topped with a house raspberry chipotle sauce. It was tender and cooked well. I'll admit, trying to find the bone versus the pork was a challenge, but I think that was a me issue. I would order it again. As for the sides, the bacon green beans were sneakily running for Sixth Man of the Year, and the herb rice paired with the pork chop quite well. I would go back. The meal was high quality and felt like a hidden gem even for longtime Castroville residents. What a treat. RIYL: Going to golf courses while being very bad at golf.

    I heard a lot of hype about the food here so I tried it after a round of golf. I had the Caesar…read moresalad and Pork Chop with chipotle raspberry sauce, bacon green beans and fries. The salad was good. The pork chop was large and it was chewy and not tender. The beans were decent and the fries were meh.

Our server Alex was very courteous and can everyone agree that the guy in the photo with people I posted looks like a young Jack White I mean seriously

    Arriving at 7pm on a Saturday, we had a wait of about 15 minutes for a table for 3. We sat outside…read morein the area by the front door, which is unfortunately beside their septic system, and the odors were not appetizing. For the entire time we sat there, a man's unintelligible voice could be heard on the speakers inside the building, apparently giving some sort of speech. We finally asked about it and were told that it was the owner, who "liked to say things" every so often, and that he was probably almost done. Thankfully by the time we were shown inside he had concluded his comments, because there was NO WAY to ignore him and just enjoy your meal if you were in there. We ordered a standard Margherita and a "build your own". Both were delicious. Crust was the ideal thickness. Another 45 seconds in the brick oven and they would have been cooked perfectly. Every staff member we interacted with was extremely polite, respectful, friendly, and professional--noticeably more than at almost every other restaurant. It's the Star Wars themed decor that was a large part of the reason to try Dark Side, and the collection truly is impressive. This is not something anyone would expect to find out in the country on a rural highway. We'll likely return again, hopefully when the breeze is from a different direction and without having to listen to a loud speech. If you're into really cool movie memorabilia, check 'em out.
