Great spot to hang out on the patio and listen to live music or watch a game! My friends and I were…read morein town for the holiday and decided to stop by for some local flavor after seeing the live music sign outside. The majority of the property is covered by an expansive patio area, perfect for groups. They have a number of large tables, small tables and even chaise lounge chairs - whatever makes you comfortable! We arrived later in the night just as the live band was wrapping up but there were many of people out back watching the World Cup game. In terms of drinks, I got the skinny rabbit margarita and it was fantastic. It far exceeded my (admittedly, low) expectations. It had a mint accent which was delicious, and combined with a tajin rim, the perfect summer drink. Don't worry, if you don't like mint, they will happily leave it out. My friends got an espresso martini, customized without baileys or dairy, and enjoyed it for a bar that doesn't seem like they would even have espresso martinis. One odd note that I did notice is that the handwashing sink for the restrooms is outside of the restroom and around the corner both inside and outside. At first I thought that they did not have handwashing sinks and was confused but noticed them once I left. Hopefully people remember to do this when they leave!!

This place was really a good find. We stopped in for lunch my son ordered the brisket enchiladas…read moreand I had the shrimp salad. When you come in you order at the bar the bartender was really nice and friendly and answered any questions that we had. Then you take a table and wait for your food I think normally you're supposed to pick up your food at the counter but she wasn't very busy so she brought the food to our table. It's a bar like atmosphere but it's a family restaurant at the same time they have cute decor inside obviously Rabbit themed and they do have a really nice back yard outside area seating where they have music. Son got the enchiladas were delicious I did get a bite of them very good portion and the brisket inside was just so tender. My shrimp salad tasted like it had homemade dressing on it was very amazing I would say it would've been a perfect salad if it just had avocado on it. It just needed something. Will be back for the music!

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.

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.

I mean not even jalapeño hot. The cook needs to study up on what Nashville hot means. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said others had mentioned that and next time I should ask for extra hot. There won't be a next time for this sandwich. They need to check out Tumble 22 to see how to do Nashville hot chicken. Heck, the spicy filet at Chick-Fil-A is a better size and taste. And the CFA and Tumble 22 meals are even cheaper. Really disappointing trip.

I really wanted to enjoy this place. The setting certainly…read moregives it every opportunity to succeed. Sitting along the marina with boats gently coming and going, The Lighthouse has all the ingredients for an afternoon you don't want to end. Unfortunately, our experience never quite found its sea legs. We arrived with a party of five and walked up to the host stand where several young employees greeted us... sort of. We let them know there were five of us. They nodded. That was it. No "What's your name?" No "We'll get you on the list." No "It'll be about a 30-minute wait." Just... nodding. As more guests started filing in behind us, I finally walked back up and asked if they needed our name or phone number. The group looked at one another like I'd asked them to solve a calculus equation. Eventually someone located a scrap of receipt paper and a marker to write our information down. I'm choosing to believe it was someone's first day because otherwise, it was a genuinely confusing start. The patio was bustling, but considering Texas had apparently opened the Gates of Hades that afternoon, our group requested indoor seating. A plus? There was only one table seated inside and they were just having drinks. We thought it would be a very short wait. About thirty minutes later, one of the hosts finally asked, "Would y'all be okay sitting inside?" Our entire table answered in unison: "YES." Once seated, things improved... at least initially. The dining room overlooking the marina is comfortable, with large windows that let the view do most of the decorating. The televisions were on without dominating the room, making it easy for our family to settle in and enjoy something we hadn't done in years--simply sit around one table together and catch up. Thankfully, we had plenty to talk about because the food took a while to arrive. My brother and I decided to split The Shipwreck, the restaurant's signature sandwich. On paper, it sounded incredible: fried chicken, fried cream cheese, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, homemade blueberry jam, and an order of their truffle fries. That's a sandwich that practically dares you not to order it. Unfortunately, reality didn't quite match the menu. The biggest disappointment was the "homemade blueberry jam." It wasn't jam. It tasted exactly like canned blueberry pie filling. That one ingredient completely threw off the sandwich for me. (thankfully, just in case, we had asked for it on the side) Beyond that, it was... fine. Not bad. Not memorable. Just an average fried chicken sandwich wearing a few extra accessories in hopes of becoming something special. For more than twenty dollars, I wanted something that made me think about it on the drive home. Instead, I mostly thought about how much potential it had. The truffle fries were another miss. They arrived barely warm and were cold before we made it halfway through the basket. The promised truffle flavor was faint, there were a few shavings of Parmesan, and instead of the garlic aioli listed on the menu, we were served plain mayonnaise. Meanwhile, our server proved elusive. After taking our order and delivering the food, she seemed to disappear entirely. When she finally resurfaced to greet the table beside us, we took the opportunity to ask for our check before she vanished again. To be fair, two members of our party ordered the chicken fried steak and both enjoyed it, so there were certainly bright spots on the menu. But as a whole, none of us walked away particularly impressed. It's disappointing because The Lighthouse has so much working in its favor. The location is wonderful. The view is exactly what you'd hope for on Lake Travis. The atmosphere invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Now it just needs food and service that rise to meet the setting. As for me? The Lighthouse didn't quite guide me safely to shore. Next time, I'll be looking for another place to dock in search of a better meal.

The…read moreChicken Bacon Ranch has the perfect combination of flavors, and the Margherita is fresh, simple, and absolutely delicious. The service is outstanding. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The brewery is clean, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the beer is excellent. It's one of my favorite places to sit for a while, enjoy a beer, get some work done, and then head home with a couple of pizzas for leftovers. The online ordering system is also incredibly convenient. I can place my order before I leave, see exactly when it will be ready, and time the drive perfectly. Everything is hot and ready when I arrive. There are good local pizza places much closer to where I live, but I still choose to drive about an hour to Obsidian Brewery because that's how good it is. Excellent food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere make every trip worth it.

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.

It's a lively, family friendly place over on Cypress Creek Road with big screens at every turn, a fun energy in the room, and even an arcade area to keep everyone entertained. The staff are upbeat and quick, and there's complimentary popcorn for that nostalgic ballpark feel, plus trivia and music bingo nights if you want to hang around after the game. But the food is the real deal! The Chicago style pizza is the star, tastes homemade and you can taste the difference in that crispy golden crust. The wings and burgers hit the spot too, and they've got a great selection of cold beers on tap to go with it all. Don't skip the churros for dessert either, they're incredible. If you're in Cedar Park and want food, fun, and the big game, do yourself a favor and check it out.

The atmosphere was awesome, there were TVs everywhere to catch whatever game you wanted to watch, and the whole place just had a great vibe. A huge thank you to Vanessa for taking such great care of us. Our food took a little longer than we expected, but she kept us updated the entire time, checked on us often, and made sure we never felt forgotten.

I entered the restaurant and I was seated immediately through the host it was rather warm inside because it was a very hot day. I was seated and started to look through the menu. So the first thing I ordered was the basic Margarita on the rocks with salt around the rim. First entry was the regular Hamburger with cheese which in fact had a side of coleslaw which I ordered as a side dish. The hamburger itself had plenty of onions and just pickles tomatoes which was pretty large and the price was perfect this is what I loved about this place the prices are awesome. Today they had the all you can eat catfish. Who wouldn't want that the only problem is .. I was craving a 'hamburger and I also ordered a side dish, which was a Chicken Fried tenders with French fries I ordered the smaller version the child's plate and if you have children I totally recommend this cool, restaurant. Service was wonderful the waitress was very kind and always stop by my table was very attentive that was a major plus. They also had a new waiter who missed the mark never looked at my table because he was taking on the section. So I had to wave him down quite a few times just so he can give me some attention especially napkins they forgotten napkins when they serve me my dessert which was the bread pudding and ice cream it was absolutely delicious, really have to try this place because it is a very good restaurant number one " it is a little more pricey, than most because it's by the lake I assume you're paying for that and the views. The drinks were" okay I really wasn't thinking that my 'Margarita was anything but a Margarita and nothing special. But overall I really enjoyed my dinner here and people are very nice but because it's on the lake and we've had a high heat index here by the lake the restaurant is very warm. Next time I come back I hope the weather will be better and not too hot. So happy yelping I hope this review helps a lot of you who love to have dinner or even breakfast they even have breakfast here. I saw that on the menu I have to try that one of these days.I will be returning possibly the next 2 weeks so that I will be able to try the brunch or the other menu items.

There were bartenders and servers literally standing around this empty restaurant, but nobody could be bothered to stop by and offer us a water or a menu. We straight up left and nobody even noticed....in an empty restaurant. Such a shame because this place is so cute.

Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish.

When we walked in, we were greeted by beautiful decor, though it seemed quite busy, so there weren't many staff members at the front to welcome us. The restaurant had a couple of other guests, but it did take a little while for someone to come over and help us find a seat. Stuart enjoyed his chicken fajitas--they loved them! I chose the fresh burrito to avoid simple carbs. The food was a bit mild in flavor, so I asked for salsa. They have a delicious homemade habanero salsa that's bursting with flavor, and I especially appreciated that it wasn't smoky. That salsa alone earns five stars from me! Aside from that, it was a little challenging to get someone's attention for the check and water, but overall, it was a pleasant experience.
