    Dessert Menu

    So there's always a concern when you're gluten-free and finding something to eat, but I was super happy to find that they had gluten-free pizza and weren't stingy with toppings. I was able to get a really tasty Hawaiian pizza and a small salad made with actual greens instead of iceberg lettuce. My friend also really liked their meal. We arrived when they opened so it was a bit empty but it later filled up after we had left. The staff was attentive and friendly. There was also a dessert display where you could get a slice of cake or cheesecake. I would definitely come back.

    Veal in lemon sauce IS to die for! The people here are very friendly! Stop by here whenever you are passing by please!

    Nice restaurant in Gonzales. The food was good. Not over the top, though. The service was excellent. The menu was plentiful with lots of options. The Italian Cream cake was wonderful. Definitely recommend this restaurant if your visiting the area. Be sure to drive around and look at the wonderful historic homes.

    Very courteous staff, with excellent service. I had the Lobster Ravioli and a House Salad. The food was good, only complaint I have is, the lobster was not in the ravioli, chopped and in the sauce. I will be back to try their other dishes.

    Stopped on a road trip. Had the pizza and garlic knots. I'd like to try the veal, chicken, or pasta dishes on the next trip.

They claimed they had no seasoning so we're sending crawfish out of the boil straight to people with no option of additional seasoning or types of butter. Crawfish very clearly had mud all over them still - lack of seasoning - even told us to come into the food truck for us to see if there was anything else for them to put on the crawfish. Over cooked and dirty crawfish are bad news for anyone who is looking for a good afternoon. Seriously unprofessional and subpar crawfish even at the price point.

Not a bar at all, they have canned beers and box wine ranging from $7-$13. Outside seating only so good for good weather days. Service was good. You would think at first glance between the ambiance and quality of food and customer service the experience that the tab would be cheaper but I got two lbs of crawfish, a single drink and kids meal (no drink, they only have soda and charged $2 for a bottle of cheap off brand water) for $50. It was just me and my son. Update after owners response: either I got scammed by the waitress or they recently lowered drink prices. For clarification I asked for a burger and waitress told me the only option available was the grilled cheese which was not worth $8 in my opinion.

    Our Tuesday brunch at Sunken Gardens:…read more Dude. Delicious is not enough to describe the food and drink. Here's how it works. It's a buffet style of delicacies but they charge by the pound. It was $7.99/lb. Put what you want on your plate. There's so much to choose from. You can have it to stay or there's to-go containers. There's cold and hot options and plenty of entrees. Dessert is limited to cobblers. I highly recommend the sweet and spicy beef, the catfish, and the jalapeño-cheese beefsteak. Same goes for the tuna salad, crab salad, and zucchini salad. The pasta salad I could give or take because it was al dente. Wife had the meatloaf and it was gooood. Same goes for the chicken strips. The sides were all freshly made (macaroni, rice, etc), and we weren't disappointed with any of it. The rolls were also good but not sweet or anything. They were basic, but that was a good thing because I didn't want anything competing with the food flavors. We also got some cobblers (one pecan and one blackberry, but there were others). I prefer crispy cobbler and this one was doughy and dense. Some like it that way though. I will say that the flavor was good and refreshing, despite being dense. Despite having indulged ourselves at the neighboring Friday's the night before (see previous review), we woke up famished. Having no food available at Shinerville Coffeehouse (see review because they were so nice and even pointed us here), we wound up eating at the Garden. It turned out to be a great experience. At $8 a pound plus $2 for drinks and a tip, we paid around $40, but our plates were laden from side to side. We greedily ate all of it. I forgot about the mozzarella spinach. Get that. Drink options were typical sodas and four ice teas, or (free?) fruit-infused water from a cistern. The teas were also in cisterns. There were four options: a red unsweetened eucalyptus tea that I liked, unsweetened, sweetened, and peach. We got the peach. There's only to-go cups and refills are free, so you're welcome to take some for the road. The atmosphere: Inside it was cool and crisp. The noise level was moderately low and they had good music. Blackbird was playing at one point. Being that it was such a nice day, we opted to eat on the covered wrap around porch that overlooked the Spoetzl Brewery. Btw (in terms of distance) with a good driver and the wind at my back, I could hit the brewery with a golf ball from the parking lot of this place. The restrooms were unisex, as you'd expect for a small establishment like this, and very clean. The people: Staff were excellent, accommodating and knowledgeable. The manager took the time to speak to me for a bit in between rushes, but a wave of people came in so I didn't hold her up. Back on the porch, a young male staff member engaged us in some more conversation and we spoke a bit about Texas history. He is very, very proud of our state and our history - both eager to share and learn. On our way out I met a cook named Mike (easy for me to remember). He was tossing a box with a cool dragon graphic and let me keep it. He also let me fill our carrying-sized igloo with ice. Mike is ex-military like me and it was fun swapping "war stories." He started cooking when he was in the military and is a native Shiner (I gotta figure out what they call the denizens of Shiner). The patrons were also very nice and easily exchanged pleasantries and held doors for one another, which is one of the coolest parts about being a Texan - but is especially so in Shiner. Friendly and unintrusive is the best I can describe. We left full and satisfied in many ways. The pictures are of some cool views I saw. One is their electrical boxes outside, which are painted uniquely, despite being outside of clear view. Just another example of the grooviness that's the prevalent, unspoken expectation of the township. It really speaks to the spirit of the town. We also took pictures of our food before we devoured it.

    We stopped at Sunken Gardens for lunch on our way to Goliad State Park and were pleasantly…read moresurprised. The restaurant is cafeteria-style, with everything priced at $8.99 per pound, which we didn't expect but ended up working great for our family since everyone could choose exactly what they wanted. The food tasted homemade, and the salad bar was especially impressive with lots of fresh options. The chicken tenders were a big hit with the kids, and we couldn't resist trying the cherry cobbler for dessert, which was delicious. If you're passing through Shiner and looking for a casual, satisfying meal, this is a great stop.

Our waitress was excellent. Joking with our party she kept the drinks and food flowing. All of the entrees including an awesome minestrone soup, salad and various comfort food and steaks was amazing.
