We also had the chance to experience their first ever 80s and 90s music trivia night, and it was a BLAST! The vibes were immaculate! This specific time I ordered a chicken caesar salad around 11:00 and Cameron specifically made it for me and it had the best grilled chicken I've ever had. It was very lean, had no fat, and was very juicy! Me and my family also enjoyed many delicious specialty cocktails and had a great time!

Especially the meatballs, garlic knots, wings, and chicken tenders. The pizza is excellent and even the salads have been fresh and really well done. What really makes The Dugout stand out is the people. Sandy and Barrett have created such a welcoming atmosphere and you can tell they genuinely care about the experience. The staff - Katie, Cameron, Issac, AJ, and Connor are always friendly, attentive and make it a fun place to be. Definitely worth checking out!!!

Very surprised by a chain restaurant experience…read more Food: Very surprised by a chain restaurant experience. We had four appetizers, and each one was (a) larger than expected and (b)VERY tasty (mushrooms, calamari, fried pickles, and boneless chicken *wings. I also ordered a protein bowl, with was very well presented -- but TWO BIG GUYS were already full by then. took home leftovers for most of the appetizers and the bowl. I will return to EVENTUALLY conquer their menu. * I think they were just chicken chunks, but whatever. Service: We were late to make the waiting list but they slipped us in immediately. The place was ROCKING full, but our waitperson was there for us very fast, both in taking food and drink orders -- and the barstaff/back of house delivering. Full restaurant: FIVE minutes max. Friendly. Not just our person, but two others that I observed while seated. Ambiance: How can you measure that in a totally full restaurant? I _guess_ it was good. Table was clean, as we seats and bench. Noisy but not too noisy. Good AC. My only grumble is that the pretty front door facade is set up so that there's no rain cover. See how persnickety I need to get to criticize something?

There were approximately six parties in the entire restaurant and my drink went dry a couple times. We ordered the simplest things on the menu and while they were good, I just feel like they need to stop hiring kids that just don or get service. The food is good when it comes out, but asking if things are ok and walking away before getting an answer is not good. This is my 5th time here, and this is the only complaint I have. The service is shabby. Food is great... service is why I'm keeping it at 3 stars for now. I'll come back next month.

Jack Allen's has become such a special place for our family. We're regulars and eat here at least…read moreonce a week, and every single visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The food is always incredible, but what truly sets this place apart is the people. Kylie, Nathan, Maddie, and so many others on the team consistently go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. Their kindness never feels forced -- it's just who they are. One moment that really stayed with me was when I brought my young niece, who has several allergies and can also be a bit picky with food. The chef personally came out to our table to ask thoughtful questions, understand her allergies better, and make sure she felt safe and comfortable eating there. That level of care meant so much to our family. Now that I'm pregnant, the staff continues to be just as attentive, accommodating, and thoughtful. They always make sure I'm comfortable and taken care of, and it honestly feels like visiting friends every time we walk through the door. Restaurants with great food are everywhere. Restaurants with genuinely wonderful people are rare. Jack Allen's is one of those rare places, and we're incredibly grateful for the amazing team there.

We started off with the queso and guacamole. They queso was delicious and while the guacamole was fresh it needed some salt. For my meal I got the special which was the bacon wrapped meatloaf. It was flavorful and cooked correctly. My only recommendation would have been to give some more sauce for the meatloaf. My husband got the fried pork chop and said it was cooked perfectly and that the gravy was delicious. Overall, an enjoyable meal and we would return.

Negatives: -Order taker/server's heavy accent very difficult to understand. -A la carte; no combos. Side portions (tots) are enough for two people we found out after ordering. -Didn't realize the burgers come with 4 Hawaiian slider rolls as the bun; we ordered off the wall menu behind the counter. Upon picking up the burger, the 4 rolls immediately broke apart as did the hamburger patty. Ended up being a "hamburger salad". -Cheeseburger comes with pickles; found jalapeños instead, on the bottom. - Coke at the fountain tasted like Diet Coke, thought maybe the lines were crossed. Server tried it and also at the bar then checked in the back and said "out of Coke." Impressions: Didn't care for slider rolls in place of a burger bun, as it makes for a big fall-apart mess. Sweet Hawaiian comes in actual hamburger and hotdog buns!! More negatives than positives so we don't plan on going back.

We got there and the staff was friendly, we were seated quickly but there was a band or two people playing and we couldn't hear ourselves talk, which is one of the reasons we go out to eat as a family and we were very close to the stage. We asked if we could move and went outside, not ideal but no where inside was quiet. I am sure the band was good but not what we wanted. The food as always was great. I got a steak, M got a Catfish Po Boy, and Shana got Blueberry French toast which looked and tasted like dessert. She loved it but it is rich so heads up. The drinks were very good and not much else to say.

Aric kept checking on us to make sure we were okay and was quite accomodating and didn't mind us ladies being moved into an inside table. Plus, I didn't want to deal with the typical muggy weather anymore. I ordered a frozen Benny Bellini - Peach Bellini to help support a worker who has cancer. The food was surprisingly served fast despite the restaurant focusing mainly on their wedding party guests from their patio. For dinner, I shared bruschetta. Ordered bruschetta for my dinner. Italian Sausage, Roasted Red Pepper, and Goat Cheese Bruschetta; For my 2nd bruschetta: Apple, Fig, Chutney & Brie Bruschetta. My third Bruschetta was House Smoked Salmon and Herbed Cream Cheese Bruschetta. Thankfully, they DON'T skimp out on their ingredients on top of their bruschetta!! Besides the bruschetta, my friend Tina offered me a slice of her Mediterranean Pizza. Thanks so much for the top notch quality food and service!!! Also, thanks so much for checking me into my reservation at Open Table so I can ensure I get more points to maintain my status.

My friends had glasses of white wine and I tried their holiday gin cocktail which was perfect for me as it was not too sweet. The server helped guide me to that drink choice. My friends had bruschetta, tuna salad, and grilled cheese with soup. We were able to walk in and easily get a table for 4 as it wasn't too busy. However, it started to fill up and it seemed like our server had many other tables because we wouldn't see her for a while and had to wait a bit for some follow up items. Overall a consistent, good time, and they can do separate checks which is great for a party of friends ordering different things!

My son loves Texas Roadhouse and that is where he wanted to go for his birthday dinner! So we ended…read moreup at the newish location in Leander. It opened this past November and I'm so glad we gave it a try. Pro tip, always join the waiting list before you arrive then check in as soon as you get there. I made the rookie mistake of getting on the list when we got there. Boo. So this caused us to have approximately a 40-minute wait. Because this location was booming. It has a huge parking lot and it was full. They do have a really nice outdoor patio waiting seating area as well as an indoor area. If you want the famous TX Roadhouse peanuts, you have to ask the receptionist and she'll give you a bag. Anywho, When we got a text I went to the receptionist and she directed my son and I to stand by the saddle and a hostess would come get us. I noticed they had five pre-staging stations and I guess the saddle was the 6th. That was a little awkward to have us there because it was right by the steak viewing And where the servers would pick up rolls and butter. Not the best place to have guests stand and wait. It took about 10 more minutes for a hostess to come get us and take us to our table. Want seated we were greeted by our server within 5 minutes. And from then on everything worked like clockwork up to the end of our visit when our server seem to be pretty busy so it took a little longer to get refills and togo boxes. Overall it was a great experience in this newer location. It was cool because the restaurant was super bright and I'm used to Texas Roadhouse being a little dim. But they did dim the lights around 7:30 p.m.. The food was consistent quality and delicious. We really liked the new twisted mozzarella sticks. They had a really good flavor and the cheese was cheesin! I always get the same thing, sweet tea, house salad, 8 oz sirloin with the baked potato and veggies. My son got the full rack of ribs with the side of fries and a loaded sweet potato. It was my birthday month and his birthday so they gave us a complimentary appetizer because I was a rewards member and had a coupon. For next visit I know to plan ahead and check in when I'm on my way. I definitely recommend this new location and we will definitely be back.

As the only person in my family that doesn't eat meat (poultry, beef, pork) this salad had a really tasty Caesar dressing, pumpkin seeds, and cranberries that complimented the salad very well. My only gripe is they put a absurd amount of cranberries, so if you get this - ask for light cranberries if your not a fan. The fries were the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. My fiance said the chicken was fresh and had good flavor! My kids loved their chicken as well! The frozen marg is something I could pass on but they have a full bar if you're into something else. Service was good, he checked on us very often and when we told him that it was our first time, he gave us a free slice of chocolate pie. IT WAS SO GOOD! Definitely need that to end a good meal.

Just wish we would've been told that they were out of ingredients and asked if we wanted to cancel our drinks or get something else instead of making us wait forever for them.

One stop shopping for primo eating and drinking good times…read more * * * Obsidian Brewery makes beer. I have no idea how the beer is. I may visit Obsidian Brewery time after time after time after time and never find out how their beer is. This is because a) They have an outstanding bar and b) They have an outstanding kitchen. For me, beer is a hardship beverage you drink when there is nothing else better available. When I go to a bar, I can sometimes be looking for mix-mastering. Usually I am looking for outstanding top of the line hard spirits. * * * When I walked into Obsidian, I looked at their bar. It was love at first sight. In front of me were twenty yards of three shelves of the most wonderful bottles I could possibly imagine. Half of them I had never heard of before. * * * I settled on a Buddha's Hand Gin. Buddha and Gin rarely appear in the same sentence Never mind the same label on a bottle. I ordered it straight up. I went immediately to Nirvana. Forget the meditation and the austerities. The Buddha's Hand Gin was as good as a trip to the Himalayas. Buddha's Hand is an obscure citrus fruit that grows multiple protuberances the way some horseradishes do. It is golden and looks like a hand. Ergo the name. The Buddha's Hand Gin is a citrus tinged gin with an edge more like orange zest than like orange juice. The additional botanicals make it strong, attention grabbing, fruity and yet combative. I was absolutely fascinated. Note that Buddha's Hand Gin is only one of the many items they have to explore there. I am totally ready to do more exploring. * * * The kitchen at Obsidian is also of distinction. The savvy local guide I came with adored his Thai Curry Wood Fired Rings. I went with a Cheesy Bread. This is open-faced grilled cheese on a thick slice of bread the size of a shoebox, with a wonderful homemade tomato sauce on about 1/3 of it. It is the best cheese pizza you have ever had. It is what cheese pizza is supposed to be if you don't use the standard canned ingredients that institutional providers sell to Domino's. I was as in love with my cheese bread as I was with my citrus gin. * * * The company was also outstanding. Which is just as well because Obsidian is a social place. Lots of Leanderthals having a fine time in couples and groups. This is not a loner's loser bar. You know - the dark rooms with misfits drinking their sixth beer while watching TV. This is a good folks good times full-of-sunlight place. So you definitely want to come with good folks. * * * Good food, good bottles, good people. And if you are feeling chipper, You can even have a homemade beer to celebrate.
