We had our family reunion at the Bellmead Civic Center Aug 5 and everyone was happy with the…read moreresult. We had the 'Seniors' room which offered easy access to load in/out, bathrooms in the room and access to the full kitchen/ice machine/etc. The facilities are well maintained and clean. We were able to pick any 6 hour time frame and there was a staff member, Joni (sp), onsite the whole time in case we needed her. They had a projector and speakers that we used to show old family videos and she helped set that up as well as add additional tables for food. They offer a huge discount if you book multiple rooms at a local motel, which we did (Holiday Inn Express.) This made the room less than any other place by far. I have been to other family events here in the past (Anniversary/Christmas) and it has always gone well. The only negative thing i found was the process for putting down a deposit and turning in the application - you have to go to two different places (deposit - City Hall, application - Civic Center) or you can mail it in. They also do not take credit cards. For out of town people, and others, it would be much more convenient to fill out paperwork and pay deposit online with a credit card.

I had a 5:15 wake up the next day so I decided to eat at the hotel rather than venturing out…read more There really isn't a "restaurant" per se, it's more of a lobby bar. I was surprised that they only had one person running the bar as well as serving the tables. She did an amazing job, so much that another patron gave her a $100 tip, but it was way too much for one person. I saw that they had Tikka Masala on the online menu which I was excited to try, but it wasn't on the menu in the restaurtant. I had the Tikka Masala flatbread which was just OK, not enough flavor and too doughy. I'm willing to give them another chance the next time I'm in town.

The bar and bar service is where you need to order. The food was disappointing but the drinks and the bartender SAVED the day and this review. Tory our bartender is the reason we stayed. She was so quick and efficient. Effortlessly making 3 -4 Sri is at a time. We were told that there were servers but we never saw them. Don't come here expecting much food wise but the drinks are on POINT. The bartender served the bar , was the hostess that greeted us as we walked in, took our food orders and made sure we had a great time. Tory made this fathers's day great. This place had a great atmosphere and vibe! The idea and atmosphere was great but the food execution was below average, it was cold and nothing great. The service from outdoor servers was lackluster. We had to walk to the Inside bar and when we were able to deal with Tory she was clearly a one woman show. She did it all. Literally. She took care of everything. Very friendly and helpful. Go check this place out! The drinks and atmosphere are worth the visit! Be sure you talk to Tory! She is the friendly blonde lady that greets you with a warm welcome when you walk In!

I hired Rio Brazos Cuisine from Waco to cater my client appreciation day at the Moon River Ranch…read more We had informed them there were going to be about 42 people the first day and 135 people to serve the second day. They were to provide meals for Friday night dinner, Saturday lunch, and Saturday evening dinner. Here is how it went. Due to weather storms our attendance was reduced significantly, Friday evening we only had 13 in one area and 29 in the other. They did not provide enough food to feed the group and was short with the amount provided. When I spoke to the staff they immediately called the owner and yes they later show up with more food. By then it was too late, most people had left the dining area and went away hungry... Saturday for lunch they were to feed 135 people. due to weather we had a total of 82 people at the event. We provided our own Taco bar and had we not done this we would have ran out of food about half way into service. Our taco bar never ran out of food, however Rio did run out of some of the food during the service. Saturday evening there were only about 75 people to serve, again we planned on 120, they ran out of food half way into service. I did not get to eat nor did my wife due to NO FOOD. So a large number of people did not even get to eat due to once again not enough food. Today when I spoke to the owner "Ms. Jonya Williams, to let her know I was disappointed with the amount of food she provided. She informed me that we did not tell her that there were going to be adult men at the event and that there should have been food left over. I informed her that we paid for 120 people and she did not even provide enough food for the 75. How do you underestimate that much. I have been in food service in the past and had never ran out of food when catering an event. You always over plan so you don't run out of food. I feel for $4,000 plus, yes I said $4,000 plus we were ripped off and while speaking to Ms. Jonya Williams, the owner she never once provided suggestion to make things right. All she would say is was the amount of time she has been in business and that everything was our fault. My suggestion is that if you want a company to feed your people and have everyone actually get to eat I WOULD NOT SUGGEST Rio Brazos Catering from Waco, TX. P.S. her excuse for charging so much is they claim to make everything from scratch. The pasta was store bought, the finger food may have been hand made. I always thought I would get what I paid for. Not in this case I got nothing that I expected for what I paid for. I expected everyone to be fed and not be hungry in the end. Her staff was great and did an awesome job and we were happy with them.
