Went to Roundtop Market and stayed at Lake Somerville. Craving a good, hot meal after a long drive. Food and service was great. Unexpected jewel in a small town. read more

On our way back to Houston from Austin, we searched Yelp for a place to stop and eat and choose JW's Steakhouse for its reviews. We were NOT disappointed! I had the ribeye steak because that is what a lot of reviews focused on and it it lived up to the hype. It was flavorful and tender. My husband and daughter had the catfish, which was also a big hit. We had the fried mushrooms as an appetizer. We will definitely make JW's a favorite stop when we travel between Austin and Houston. I also want to add that service was amazing. This was also mentioned in the reviews and holds true. Brynn not only greeted and served with a smile, but she was so attentive. Thank you. If you are passing through, this place is a MUST stop for great food and great service. Thank you JW's Steakhouse for a delightful meal serves with a smile. read more

Love JWs. A nice slice of True Texas hospitality and dining. Just in joyed a classic hamburger. 1/3 lb juicy beef with all the fixings! For sure get the onion rings. Small order is 5 HUGE nicely peppered thick onion rings! Enjoyed the native cedar floor and paneling. Atmosphere can't be beat.! read more

JW's Steakhouse - Certified angus all beef hamburger - Steakhouses Near Me - Carmine, Texas

Perfect spot for a 4:30 lunch/supper after a hard day of antique shopping. Ribeye melted under the knife. Wife's chicken breast did as well. Real onion rings. Great service. Tea glass stayed full. Looks like we just beat the rush. Texas Steakhouse just like we were looking for. read more

Tonight was our first night coming to JW's. It definitely won't be our last! There was a 30 minute wait but there is Village Market around the corner where you can spend time browsing the outdoor decor. We didn't mind the wait because from the moment we sat down we felt welcome and at home. The service was great and the waitress was so nice. The food was amazing! We had the cheese curd bites for an appetizer. Their homemade ranch for dipping is sooo good! My husband and I each had the filet and the steak was well flavored and cooked perfectly. I had the sides of the day: creamed spinach and glazed sweet potatoes. My husband had the mashed potatoes and okra. My daughter had a grilled cheese and fries. Honestly everything we ordered was wonderful, tasty, and filling. We took an original cheesecake and German chocolate cheesecake home for dessert. I look forward to visiting again! read more

We went on a little weekend trip that took us thru Carmine. We decided to check out JW's on our way home. I had a JW burger w/bacon & jalapeño plus a side of onion rings. The burger was huge & delicious! The batter on the rings was really good too. My wife had the Surf & Turf with a side salad & baked potato. She says that her steak wasn't bad, although maybe not the best cut. It was cooked as ordered and she said that it was just ok. The fried shrimp were pretty large & had a seasoned batter. She said that her potato was good. She didn't get her salad until later in the meal. It was really busy & there was plenty to eat, so we just boxed it up to go. Our service wasn't bad considering how busy it was. We still enjoyed our meal & would definitely eat there again. read more

JW's has always been a great Texas country steakhouse. And it still has flashes of excellence, but it also needs some professional help. First, the positives. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is on point for rural Texas. And the iced tea is superb. Now, let's talk about the negatives. The kitchen is disorganized. We noticed orders coming out with no particular rhyme or reason, including our fried mushroom appetizer, which didn't make it out to us until well into the entree. Second, the fried foods had no consistency. The chicken fried steak, onion rings, and fried mushrooms all had the same batter -- which lacked much flavor. I never salt food -- and all of these needed pepper AND salt. The fries and fried okra didn't have the same batter, but both were served warm, not hot -- and had the distinct feel of prepackaged food service products. As for my steak, it was good, not great. The steak had a good sear and was cooked as requested, but was on the small side of the advertised eight ounces -- and again would've benefitted from some seasoning with the cooking. JW's used to be worth the drive, but now it's sadly comparable in quality to a lot of the chain steakhouses. read more

Went for a birthday party dinner and was excited to try this place because I've talked to friends who have been here and OMG!!! The service was excellent and the food was beyond great!! Steak was perfect, sides were generous and don't forget to try some onion rings!! We had a outstanding experience and we are planning to go back really soon!!! read more

They had a clean facility, the food was good. Restaurant was big but only had a portion of it when we went. Staff was nice

Awesome food every time, we drive to Carmine from Paige pretty often to enjoy a nice steak here, but anything on their menu is a hit.

I love this place. Try to eat there as much as possible when traveling anywhere close. Chicken fried steak, burgers and onion rings. My favorites but I am still working on trying more on the menu. read more

Ummmm... WOW! Driving thru this cute little town, hungry and we found a gold mine! I had the Cowboy hamburger steak. It was seasoned to perfection and very juicy. With a side salad and baked potato... also scrumptious! My husband had the filet and baked potato and corn casserole He ordered medium rare and it was perfect! We left with two extra orders of corn casserole. So good! JW's.... Your staff were fantastic. The food, some of the best I've come across in a while. Beautiful restaurant. Plenty of parking and really sweet staff. We will be back! read more

What a delightful find. We had a ribeye steak enough to feed two, two side salads, an order of fried mushrooms and a big slice of homemade German chocolate cheesecake... and the bill was 56.00... the steak melted in your mouth.. hadn't had beef that tasted that good in a while. And the service was small town friendly and attentive. Putting it on my must return one day soon list. read more

JW's Steakhouse - Plate is about empty because it's so good! - Steakhouses Near Me - Carmine, Texas

Who would've thought this restaurant in a hotel would be so delicious. We come here on occasion for date night and love the entree choices and the ambiance. For those that like a bar atmosphere they have one and it's a cozy setting. The service is always on point and they don't miss a beat. Don't worry everyone is social distancing including the tables in between with space. It's hidden off the beaten path so rely on google. It will get you there don't lose faith. Go for a delicious meal and ambiance. You will not be disappointed. Great date night spot! read more

This was our first time here in Carmine. We came for a wedding and needed to find somewhere to eat for lunch. The environment was very warm and homey.

Cute place overall and would come back again. read more

JW's Steakhouse - Small salad with shrimp and a side of onion rings with ranch dressing. - Steakhouses Near Me - Carmine, Texas

Our 1/2 mark for meeting up for the Grndchildren switchover and we have been coming here for years. Last nite though, the fish was dry, shrimp had no seasoning and Okra and Tomato were just bland. Not impressed. My daughter had a hamburger patty that was too pink for even me, and she didn't want to but did send it back for extra cooking. She said her's was delicious.. Son in law: Prime Rib...good. It has changed. Hush puppies were even so sweet...I am dissapointed. read more

Great steak, great service and not crammed seating! Fried Mushrooms amazing and onion rings you'll dream about. We all had steaks and they were seasoned perfectly and masterfully cooked to order, read more

Steaks were less than half an inch thick. Baked potatoes were old and not even hot enough to melt the toppings that were put on it. The only reason for the one star is my daughter enjoyed the margarita. Would have said something at the restaurant but didn't want to cause a scene as we went there to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I had high hopes but was greatly disappointed. read more

Great food, atmosphere of a small town cafe (but nicer) and desserts to die for. The waitstaff is always super nice and portions are huge.

The lazy manager let one of his waitresses run food with A BROKEN FOOT. He only came by after I complained. What a bum.....

Best regular hamburger in Texas. Onion rings were perfectly crisp and not greasy. Service is excellent. Entrance is around to the left.

Everything about this place was great! The apps, the dinner, the dessert and the staff. Wish we would have found sooner.
