    Special of the day.

    Always 5 star, Nearly every day! Salads are epic, as is the personal service. Love the strawberry Fields salad with grilled chicken.

    Caesar Salad (w/out parmesan cheese)
    Shawn V.

    Our son and daughter-in-law took us here for dinner. Wow - what a great place. Claire was our server - she was probably one of the top five servers we have ever had - personable; knowledgeable about the menu; her recommendations were spot on and the reasons for her recommendations. We're spot on. She was attentive (but not overly so) and made sure our beverages stayed filled. Top notch service. For appetizers we tried the Chips and Salsa which was Mango, Avocado, Jalapeño, Grapefruit Vinaigrette, Cucumber & Tortilla Chips. When I had my first bite I wasn't sure. By the third, I was hooked - it had a great (and different) flavor that quickly has you wanting more. We also tried the Bistro Poppers which are Shredded Duck, Bacon, Peppers, Mixed Cheese & Sweet Onion Glaze. They were the shape of a cucumber slice and deep fried. The sweet onion glaze made them perfect! We also tried the Bistro Salad (we order the small size) which was: Fresh Greens, Roasted Corn, Pickled Onions, Cucumber, Feta & Tomatoes with a Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette. Very tasty. We also tried the Caesar Salad which was: Romaine Lettuce, House Dressing, Parmesan, Pico & Croutons (my son opted out of the Parmesan). It was great - the pico was amazing - something I've never had on a Caesar Salad but which was really good. We also tried the soup of the day (opted for small size) which was a creamy jalapeño soup with pork. It was probably one of the three best soups I have eaten. The flavor was superb and the texture smooth and creamy. My only regret was ordering the small serving instead of the large! For dinner two of us had the Blackened Salmon which was: Poblano Vinaigrette, Cilantro Lime Rice & Seasonal Veggies. The Salmon was perfect. Crisp and blackened on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. I love Salmon but too many restaurants overcook it A this was perfect. I had the roasted jalapeño cream sauce and it was great. The veggies were squash and zucchini and again, cooked and seasoned perfectly. Fresh and flavorful. I'm not a big rice guy but the Cilantro Lime Rice actually had a very good flavor. We also tried the Stuffed Poblano which came with: Stewed Potatoes, Roasted Corn, Zucchini & Black Beans. Topped with Mixed Cheese & a Roasted Jalapeño Cream Sauce. Served over Cilantro Lime Rice - we also added chicken for a protein. The flavors blended together so well - it was also very good. Finally, we tried the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast which came with Roasted Jalapeño Cream, Charred Poblano Mashed Potatoes & Creamed Corn. The chicken was prepared perfectly. The buttermilk fried coating was crispy and not greasy. The creamed corn was very good - it was a bit different than 'traditional' cream corn when it came to the flavor, but it was really good. For dessert, we had the crème brûlée - it was wonderful. The sugar was perfectly caramelized - crunch but not burned - very smooth and creamy. It's made on-site. We also tried the strawberry cheesecake. It wasn't bad but it was probably the least favorite of the entire meal. Again - not bad by any means but nothing spectacular. Finally we tried the strawberry cake which also had strawberry filling and a strawberry cream frosting. It was also very good. We will definitely go back - they change the menu all the time. The food is very fresh and flavorful and it's obvious that great attention is paid to the flavors. If all of the servers are of the same quality as Claire, then the service will always be top notch. This hidden gem as awesome - try them out!

    I've been a regular patron here for about 3.5 years. We almost always sit at the bar whether or not we're having dinner. There are many choices on the menu and you can never go wrong with the jalapeño bacon burger. The strawberry fields salad is one of my favorite items. Great Happy Hour from 3 to 6. Service is wonderful at the bar and at table service.

    Only picture I took but let it be the one to bring you here !! SO SO SO GOOD! I did not leave a crumb of anything because it was so good! This was their Pecan Crusted Chicken, it came with veggies and potatoes wedges and they were melting in my mouth. I also ordered a Mexican martini which was so good too and when I asked for extra olives they did not disappoint. The server was very kind and attentive and the food came out at a perfect temperature and tasted amazing once again. Very cozy family vibes and definitely a place to check out !

    Random stop when looking for outdoor dining. Unfortunately everyone else was too so had to dine indoors. Place was nice, clean, friendly staff, not overly loud or crowded. Food was delicious. Did not take long to come out. Everything was flavorful and hot. Recommend if in the area. All dishes pictured were delicious. The artichoke spinach dip is more cream cheese but still tasty.

    Today I had the pleasure of driving up to New Braunfels for lunch to celebrate my beautiful daughter in law, Cat's, birthday. She chose Texas Bistro, since it is a favorite of hers. To be honest, I was a little disappointed because we were going for brunch. When I first went on the website to plan my meal, I really liked the sound of the Greek Chicken Sandwich. I was sad to learn that it would not be available during brunch. I would have to settle for something else. As soon as we were all seated in a very pleasant dining room decorated with Texas art and such, our server, Dalton, came to get our drink orders. He told us only the brunch menu was available and helped us find it in the large book style menus he had given us. Then he was off to get our drinks. I went in with a few options in my head, but ended up ordering something entirely different. Sometimes, even when I have a plan, I never know what I will be hungry for until the minute I order. This time, I switched to Southside Shrimp. The menu described it as "7 Blackened Shrimp with Tomatoes, Mushrooms & Spinach over Cilantro-Lime Rice. Topped with a Poached Egg & Chorizo-Hollandaise". Y'all... I have never been served anything that was so close to the menu description. It was really a pretty plate, as were all of our choices. The shrimp were cooked absolutely perfectly. Every element of the dish played well with the others. I was extremely satisfied. The entire lunch experience was great. I understand why Cat likes this place so much. The food was delicious. Our server was awesome. The dining room was pleasant. There is just nothing bad to say.

Now that tourist season is over, New Braunfels is back on my areas to eat list. We decided that we would try this on a weekday night. We used one of apps for driving directions to get to this place. That turned out to be the only bad thing about this trip. For whatever reason, it took us on a very circuitous route. If I had known that it was located across the street from Pat's Place, I could have driven straight to it. When we finally arrived, I was not sure it was open. Also, signage was poor, so we didn't see it right away. When we did get into the parking lot, parking was easy, and we were able to get next to the entrance. We walked in and were greeted immediately by the young lady behind the counter. She was very friendly, and finding out it was our first time, she explained the entire process for us. Seeing they had Hatch Chili for the Down the Hatch burger, I knew what I had to have (Have you had Hatch Chili on your burger? Once you try it, you will never go back to typical burgers). My wife ordered the classic burger fixed just like she likes it. We also ordered an order of fries. Our food was made fresh and delivered quickly. The lady that brought our food to the table turned out to be the manager, and she was so nice. In fact, she even gave us a free ice cream for dessert:) Our food was piping hot and made just as we ordered. I took one bite and said I'll definitely be coming back. My wife loved her food too. In addition to the burgers being great, I have to say that the fries might have been the best I've ever had. Seriously! They were just crisp enough, hot, fresh, seasoned well, and nongreasy. After finishing our meal, we went to try the ice cream. The young lady working the ice cream stand was so friendly. She explained how they make their own ice cream and wanted us to try as many samples as we wanted. We decided on the salted caramel as it was so good:) She also told us that they had another location in Gruene, and that we should try it when visiting. Will I return? Definitely - the folks were really friendly, the food was great, and the ice cream for dessert was fantastic.

What they need to work on: The food is hit or miss, they do waaaay too many things, they can't keep up with ordering ingredients and are constantly out of certain things. They have a disastrous menu of random billboards and papers taped to walls which feels like a scavenger hunt when you order. The food they brought out tonight was a mixture of cold food and hot food that they informed us was missing a few ingredients so they just gave it to us without them and took 45 minutes to get to us. Music is a hit or miss, the guy we listened to tonight we couldn't understand a word he said while he sang or when he was talking between songs. Overall, come here to drink some good craft beer, gamble at rather the music is tolerable and have plenty of time if you want to order food.

The sweet gal taking the orders also said that they would bring it out when it was ready, but we waited a solid 30 minutes and decided to ask. I think they just forgot our order of chips and queso and fried pickles. Besides that, the experience was great. Their chips are great (I love the thicker tortilla chips!) and have a more solid crunch to them. The queso is on the lighter and thinner consistency side, which is always a refreshing texture. They definitely use a lighter cheese instead of a dark cheddar, as shown through the color of the queso. It's got a great flavor to it too without having any extra add-ins. A nice traditional queso! The fried pickles were average, but my bf is obsessed with pickles...so that was his impulse buy. Not sure if I would say this is a steady food truck that I would come back to outside of the brewery, but I'm glad it's at Guadalupe! Good choice for snacks and probably their po boys!

And they are always so crispy - I assume they change the fryer oil frequently or they must clean it really well. I have a bone to pick with their chicken fried steak. In the land of great CFS, they shouldn't serve one that had been in the freezer a few moments earlier. In this part of the country, it's hand-breaded or nothing.
