Started with the spinach artichoke dip - creamy, cheesy, and lots of artichokes, spinach, and mushrooms! The chips served with it were fresh, crisp, and had the perfect amount of salt! My husband and I shared our two entrees - the chicken fried pork chop and the pork chop marsala. Both were excellent! The pork was tender and juicy with each dish. And the Marsala sauce was one of the best I've tried! We wish we could have tried more items...but it would be well worth the drive to come back for another visit!

Really frustrating experience tonight…read more We had trouble placing our order online, so we called instead. The phone was answered with "what's up?" Our order was taken at 10:05 PM and we were told it would be ready in about 30 minutes. We arrived around 10:40 PM and the restaurant's open sign was off, chairs were already up, and there were no customers inside, which already seemed odd. When we went in, we were told, "we've been calling you, we were about to eat your food," but we had zero missed calls or voicemails. Then she told us they close at 10 PM. The confusing part is the door, Google, Maps, and online all say Saturday hours are until 11 PM. If they were actually closed, why was our order accepted after 10 PM instead of simply saying they were closed? To top it off, parts of our order were missing as well. Overall, just a very frustrating and unprofessional experience. Clear communication and accurate hours would've avoided this entire situation.

Everything was well timed, except when we were trying to get the check. All the staff seemed to be kind and professional. The patio is lovely, but I imagine it can be uncomfortable in the summer heat. Now for the food. Overall it was good. I found some components spectacular, but felt like some lacked seasoning. I was looking forward to the arancini the most. The croquet itself was crunchy and that cheese was definitely telefono style, but needed some seasoning. The pomodoro was tasty, but the basil made it fabulous. Y'all know how I feel about basil. The ravioli was filled with spinach, mushroom, and ricotta with a brown butter sage sauce. It was delicious and the portion was perfect. My favorite part though was the crunchy shitaki "bacon"and butternut squash. I would take a bowl of that in a heartbeat and would absolutely go back for a butternut squash main dish. It was perfectly roasted and full of flavor and those shitaki were amazing. The preserved lemon vinaigrette over lettuces was phenomenal. Incredible fresh flavor. Desert was chocolate torte and sour cream ice cream. The ice cream was the absolute star of the show. The sweet vanilla was incredible. I sampled the halibut and shrimp and it was perfectly cooked. I would definitely come back to try other offerings.

Our first visit to Outlaw Kitchen absolutely lived up to the hype--and then some. The experience as…read morea whole was fantastic: warm, attentive service, a beautifully restored house, and food that invites you to slow down and enjoy every bite. We started with the beet and dill salmon on crostini, which was such a fun and memorable dish. Piling everything on yourself made it interactive, almost playful, and you could make each bite as beautiful as you wanted. The flavors were bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. We ordered all of the entrées--choucroute, hanger steak, and sweet pea risotto--and every single one was delicious. That said, the risotto completely stole the show for me. Creamy and rich without being heavy, it was packed with mushrooms, sweet peas, and delicate pea shoots. The salty, umami depth from the cheese paired beautifully with little bursts of sweetness from the peas--it was honestly exceptional. Outlaw Kitchen is the kind of place where everything works together: the food, the service, and the space. It feels intentional, personal, and special without ever being pretentious. We were blown away on our first visit and can't wait to come back.

It was a huge, fresh, hand packed 1/2lb burger with tons of fresh ingredients topping it off. I went back and tried a 10oz ribeye the next day and it wasn't bad. Maybe I am pickier about my steak, but it didn't wow me like the burger. I saw another patron get an order of what appeared to be nachos or a nacho salad and it was huge! The staff are super friendly, and it's clean and quiet. Also, this place sells beer so that's a plus. Lol. Next time I will try the chicken fried steak. Worth stopping in if your in the neighborhood.

Our interactions with Outlaw River Rentals were indeed very smooth from drop off to pick up, everyone was friendly and professional, plus there was very helpful guidance about river conditions. This was the experience we had hoped for last year. No fault of ORR, the area is in the midst of a drought which meant drop off and pick up were from the boat ramp under the highway, because there is little current in the river. Upstream is nicer scenery but does require carrying the boat over a weir (small dam), while downstream the scenery was riverside suburbs (maybe more natural further downstream). In more normal conditions the trip involves drop off here but then riding the current downstream to a take out. There was mention of potential future drop off at Canyon Lake at what sounds like a very interesting area.

SCAM!!! NO STORE FRONT!! Extremely Unprofessional!!! Rent at your own risk!!!…read moreFew weeks back we paid and reserved for 5 double kayaks and 1 single kayak with Lisa at the Outlaw River Rentals. Payment was made via zelle, and reservations were complete. Drop off at Friday morning and pick up at Saturday evening, that was the total duration of the reservation, total cost with what were told deep discounts was $714.44. We talked on the phone and exchanged text message as they were very busy [What I was told]. Weather got pretty nasty and the river was absolutely dirty so we called and tried to cancel, didn't get a response, we sent a text message stating the request for cancellation and refund. It was accepted and the reservations were cancelled. On asking how the refund would take we were told 3-5 business days. Fast forward more than two week and I still have not heard from them. After several failed calls and text messages I have not heard back. If you are working with this company do it at your own risk. Read some more reviews after this incident and found out they have duped other folks too and have charged their credit cards multiple times.. So Lisa and Mike if you are reading this... let me just let you know what you did with us was extremely unprofessional and uncalled for!

We were seated fairly quickly and were served drinks soon after. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything needed. Even the manager walked by a few times to help us get drinks and was very friendly. Great service for sure. We ordered a few appetizers like chips and queso. The chips were made fresh and delicious. The cheese was good too and had some jalapeño bits in it (wish it was a bit spicy but still tasted good). We also ordered tomato smash breakfast potatoes which were so good. The potatoes were seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Wish could have had more of these. I ordered a blackberry Mimosa and was very good. I actually prefer it over the orange juice. My meal was called The Sweet Bastard and was good. The French toast was fluffy and liked the cream cheese on top. I did think it was alot of cream cheese but otherwise would get this again. My friend ordered the avocado toast and I really liked her bread (it was a pizza dough they used and bread was fluffy). My other friend ordered Bonfire Benediot and it did look good. I believe the bread was the same as the avocado toast and the eggs looked really good on top. All of our meals looked and tasted really good along with good service overall. I would absolutely come back to eat here and recommend anyone to come try.

The Social Hour looked really good so finally made my way back for date night on a Friday and did not disappoint. We tried several things on the menu and loved them all. The house Cab was very nice.

On the advice of a good friend the suggestion was to try J-Prime Steakhouse's"Social Hour." I have…read moreheard about many times but I never found the perfect occasion to try it. But at my age anytime you are over ground is the best occasion. I have heard it is real fancy. And it is. Do not come in Crocs and sweatpants. This is not that restaurant. It is that restaurant where you should make reservations. It is also a place that emphasizes presentation and service. We came right when it opened and we informed the hostess of our reservations. We were seated in the bar area. Once inside I was struck by its ambience. It is sleek, dark and dare say "sexy." Our server, who was extremely attentive came to our table and took our drink orders. My partner ordered an Old Fashioned and me, a Lagunitas IPA. Whilst waiting for our drinks I looked over the room. One thing I noticed was a barrier that separated the bar area and the dining room. The Social Hour is meant, to socialize. I saw couples leaning into each other. Another group were drinking martinis with a seafood tower, almost touching the ceiling. Conversations were had. Romantic glances were exchanged. It isn't a casual place like Bubba's 33 nor Texas Roadhouse. It feels like a place best suited for a date night or an anniversary. I'm wondering how the dining room area is? The Social Hour does offer some drink and small bites specials. We ordered the kabob with pineapple, brussel sprouts, and sliders. They were all pretty great. It reminded me of the same experience as in partaking in tapas. I would remiss if I didn't relay our service here, it was excellent. Our server, Holiday(I hope I spelled it right.) treated us like we were the only patrons there. I've gone to upscale restaurants where staff looks at you up and down. Or they try to size you up. This is not that place. Which was so refreshing. If this place went above and beyond my expectations why didn't I give it four stars? In my opinion I think that a place that creates an upscale experience needs to have a few beers on tap. Even places like Wing Daddy's or Chili's offers a few beers on tap. Secondly, the bar area seating feels a bit tight. I wonder when the dinner crowd arrives would you be in the lap, of someone else's conversation? I still highly recommend this place. The Social Hour area is perfect for a date or an anniversary. The service and food were both excellent. And I've never been to a place where you are given warm hand towels. It reminded me of that scene with Adam Sandler in "The Wedding Singer" minus Billy Idol.

Came in today late afternoon, at a time when there were plenty of servers but before the supper crowd. Waiter only came by to seat me, take my order, and give me the receipt. There was no check-in between. Having ordered Parmesan and spicy wings (which were shaped more like fast food nuggets, oily, and over cooked), I waited the better part of 10 minutes to request a refill. By the time she came back with my water I was over it and requested the receipt and a to-go box for the wings I had left. Nibbled on my soggy but clearly frozen fries for another 10 minutes with no to-box having been received. Having wasted my time and about a third of my meal, I saw myself out.
