Food - 4 Stars Atmosphere - 4 Stars…read moreService - 5 Stars We make regular trips to Fredericksburg and decided to try this place on the way. It is a part of Carter Creek Resort and Winery. After driving through the entry gate, I had mixed emotions. The entry road was not that well maintained, we passed several large parking lots that weren't really that well maintained either. There were some grape vines in view and they were in really poor shape, which made me question what the rest of the facility would be like. I am pleased to say that we were pleasantly surprised. The rest of the facility that we experienced was well maintained and pretty "cool". There was a really large grassy area accompanied by a covered Pavilion when you first walk in. We did not go into the Cottages that were for rent in the resort, but they looked cute from the outside. The restaurant decor was nice and the service was excellent. The food was good but not off the chain. The food was kind of "fusion" inspired and not your regular run-of-the-mill menu items, although there were a few of those, also. Most of the main entrees were a little bit pricey, in my opinion. We were there for lunch and so they did offer some lunch items but we opted for a main entree. The lunch options were more reasonably priced and consisted mostly of hamburgers, sandwiches, and salads. I opted for the Birria Beef Stroganoff (Yep, there's that "Fusion" thing). While it had good flavor, there was no "Stroganoff" component to it (that I could tell), other than a small dollop of sour cream that I discovered towards the end of my dish. It was more like Pasta Alfredo with Birria Beef on top. My wife had the BLT salad with the addition of grilled chicken. The dish was sort of anemic and lacked any creativity. In summary, I would go back, but would try some different menu items. Since we were there for lunch on a Friday there wasn't any other sort of entertainment other than the wine tasting room. We did notice that they have a comedy show and some live entertainment on weekend nights.

The shishito peppers were good but needed a little salt. The chicken fried steak had really well-seasoned breading, but it fell off the meat pretty easily. The steak itself was a little tough and chewy. The mashed potatoes were cold and could've used a little more flavor, but the green beans were good. Overall, it's a solid spot for dinner. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight, and I'd come back to try something different on the menu.

We spent a lot of time outside around the fire pit, enjoying the cooler weather that had rolled in. The espresso martini's are delicious, so definitely order one (or 4) of those! Haha.... I didn't take a lot of pictures of the venue, since you can see those from other reviewers, but this is a really cute bar in Johnson City with lots of indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate any group's desires. Service is very attentive; the owner/bartender checked on us frequently even though we were outside most of the time. Plan to eat elsewhere but check their events page for anything that might include some tasty food! Come check it out!

First off, the look is very classy, but down home country. It is a perfect mix. Secondly, the people made me feel like I was back down South. They were welcoming, fun, and kind. However, the best part of this place is the food. OMG! Ya'll, I am serious. The food will make you do a happy dance. I had the pull pork taco. It looked and tasted like good ole Texans BBQ heaven. I could tell that this is a local hangout and for them to have live music also was just devine, especially Cale Moon. He is fun and has a voice that will blow you away. If you are ever in the Johnson City area and want a quick bite to eat in a beautiful country western setting, stop by this place. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

The bar has a really cool vibe - old storefront with windows that open to the beer garden. Plenty of outdoor seating, food truck, and live music. We took a peek in the dance hall - smaller than Gruene or Mercer but looks like a fun place for a night out with friends! Definitely check out their upcoming shows to see who is playing (so far most of the music lineups are just for the beer garden). The bathrooms are outside and were clean at first but got dirty quickly. They desperately need to refill the soap dispensers! This is definitely a spot for local and bikers - so expect some smoking and engine noise. But overall a great place to relax under the giant oak tree.

"These days Luckenbach Texas is, to paraphrase John Steinbeck, a "State of Mind" - A Texas state of mind, where you can kick back, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life--like a step back in time." You can purchase tickets online or head over to the ticket booth if it isn't a sold out show. The monthly lineup usually includes your favorite local artists & in demand bands, special events, festivals & free shows! Even though Waylon & Willie's Luckenbach Texas wasn't actually based on the dance hall, their iconic lyrics did help make it famous. So turn up the volume and get Back to the Basics of Love as you make the trip out to see a show! You can even arrange a Willie Nelson tour to learn about the historic property If you really do love the Lone Star State, you might want to consider having your wedding or anniversary celebration at Luckenbach!

The restaurant was spotless, the atmosphere was welcoming, and we were greeted with a smile by our server, Ashton, who provided friendly, attentive service from start to finish.

To top it off, we enjoyed a refreshing Mr. Green juice and an ice-cold Michelada, which paired perfectly with the meal. The food came out quickly, the quality was outstanding, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. If you're passing through Blanco or looking for a great place to grab a delicious sandwich with excellent service, The Feed Store is definitely worth the stop. We'll absolutely be back!

I said they are legal tender one dollar coins and he says again we do not accept this kind of payment. So I ended up using my debit card. This place does not accept legal one dollar coins for payment of any type. I asked to speak to a manager and he says we do not have a manager here. I always use one dollar establishments around there. They always accept them. We will not be going back there. Because they do not accept American legal of one dollar coins.
