What a pleasant surprise it was to find this lovely casual restaurant tucked inside what was once…read morean old home and now part of a garden supply nursery and marketplace. We had a group of 8 adults who had just completed touring 2 of the Painted Churches, in and around Schulenburg. While our tour guide greeted several servers as we entered like old friends, I don't think that was the cause of their friendliness to our group as a whole, I saw them happily greeting everyone and providing excellent service. Our happy server quickly took drink orders, you can tell when a server is confident in her job and knows the routines as she never wrote anything down but when she returned with drinks, the orders were all correct. She then took orders for lunch, we had a variety of offerings from the menu. I decided on the Tzatziki Salad, a nicely presented Greek style salad with grilled chicken breast slices and some tzatziki with pita points. Others around me had the Rueben and the grilled chicken salad and said everything was perfect. I also heard great things about the home made chicken salad and their hamburgers. And if you feel like your garden needs a bit more color, just step into the garden center after lunch and pick out some lovely plants to take home!

Dined here for lunch with my mom and our tour guide from the Chamber as a break in the middle of…read moreour day for the Painted Churches tour. I was pleasantly surprised at the absolutely amazing freshness and quality of the food and modern/light atmosphere of this place (a bit unexpected after a few lackluster food experiences in Schulenberg leading up to our lunch here). It was every bit at good as some of the cafes I've eaten in major cities (where there is heavy dining competition). Mom and I both ordered their delicious chicken salad sandwich, piled high (but not too thickly) with shredded chicken on perfectly baked, flaky (but not too flaky) croissant bread. The chicken salad was a perfect blend of seasonings with a few cranberries for a little sweetness. Divine! Each sandwich came with a side of crispy/perfect (seemingly handmade) chips. Our tour guide ordered a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich which she seemed to really enjoy as well, complete with perfectly buttered and crisp grilled sourdough bread. The atmosphere was very modern and new yet warm and dotted with beautiful antique pieces (be sure to check out the old buffet across from the bathroom doors, gorgeous!). And this place seemed packed with many locals in their brunch attire to enjoy the great food and great hospitality of the wait staff. Behind the restaurant, they also host a beautiful nursery where you can browse under the trees through their fairly extensive collection of plants (flowering and non flowering - we saw some variations of native flowering plants we've either never seen before or don't see often so my mom purchased a few for her garden!), chat with the very knowledgeable and friendly owner of the nursery, browse the little nursery gift shop full of unique and beautiful items, and even visit with the sweet "shop" kitties (who seem to like to hang out near the nursery gift shop entrance) if you wish. All in all, a very special experience at this gem in Schulenberg. We will definitely make this our number one stop for meals (and to buy more plants) in Schulenberg when we return!

I was passing through & used Google to find me a great steak !! Saw all the positive reviews &…read moredecided to drop in I appreciate all the old decor & ambiance as you walk in. Quiet authentic. My go to is always a Filet & don't mind spending money for a great steak. The filet seemed to be a lil higher priced than I've seen but I'm always willing to try it. The filet was cooked perfect ( medium rare) but honestly lacked any flavor. Now I know it's hard to appease everyone however I wish my effort was put into the seasoning. Speaking of flavor, the green beans were bland as can be. I mean how hard is it to cut up some bacon & season them up. I'm sure mgmt is stuck in their ways & "if it's not broken, don't fix it" but it's 2026 & there are lots of options out there. Unfortunately I won't be back simply to the flavor of the food. However I can't bring myself to bash a business, so that is how I came up to my 4 star review. Hopefully mgmt sees this & changes up their flavor / cooking style some, instead of being "average".

Oh my sweet, sweet Sweetgreen…read more I've always loved their salads and have recently become obsessed with their wraps. Their caesar salad wrap to be specific. Everytime I order from a Sweetgreen the veggies are fresh and the portion size vs. the price is fair. I can usually get two meals out of one order. I want to give major kudos to this location specifically because I accidentally left my wallet while visiting on a Saturday afternoon. After not being able to find my wallet thinking it was in my house somewhere I decided to stop by the Union Market Sweetgreen location to check on Monday. After about 5 minutes of waiting the manager came over to bring me my wallet. Yay! All of my belongings were still in it. I'm grateful for them holding onto my items. I look forward to visiting this location more often especially because they have a lot of seating. And side note, be sure to download their apps. It's super easy to earn rewards if you go there often. Enjoy!

Their hours are a little earlier than most places and most Sweetgreens for some reason. I ordered online and customized a nice salad. I had to pick a bug out of it, but honestly I'm not enraged; I'd like to have those removed during the cleaning process but a small fly hiding in some greenery is a natural thing and these are quality fresh plants. While it is mostly a takeout, the people working there were on point with service, even holding the door open for me.

When you walk in, grab a menu or view the menu on the wall. Once decided, order at the counter with the friendly staff, grab your number and take a seat. They'll bring your food out to you, but don't forget to put your dishes back when you are done. Portions are huge and they have great drinks. I had the lemonade and the avocado and quinoa salad. So satisfying when looking for a big salad. In addition to salads, they have sandwiches and soup, which looked great ask well. I'll be back to try the rest.

As a fairly "new" restaurant close to downtown Rockdale, it is pretty good. The décor is the same…read moreas you would find in any taphouse. They offer a good variety of beers on tap to choose from as well as quick and easy bites. The burgers are pretty good as well. The wings were "ok" in my opinion and needed more seasoning. The cashier and server were super busy so i will not fault them on service, but a smile wouldn't hurt. The restrooms are very clean and well maintained. The prices can be a bit on the high side for this demographic but seeing what all they offer makes up for it i suppose. So if you are ever travelling through Rockdale, stop on by the taphouse for a quick bite and craft beer. Try it out for yourself.
