She met us at the Magnolia House in less than 30 minutes. She was incredibly patient with us as we discussed how to make it work and how to address the cost between the families. We occupied quite a bit of her time on a day she wasn't expecting us. She helped us secure the bartender, table cloths (because we planned rectangular tables and now had round ones), and security. We left her a little after 3, and she had the area set up for our rehearsal scheduled at 5 that same day. The wedding turned out beautifully. Magnolia House should have been our original venue, as things turned out even better than we had originally planned. I cannot recommend Allison and Cathedral Oaks enough.

Came here on Sunday Memorial Day weekend for lunch with my parents (my dad recommended this spot!),…read moreand was pleasantly surprised! There was no wait, and we were seated immediately. You have the preference to pick lakeside, so we chose that and were seated outdoors with a view of Belton Lake. Upon getting seated, we orderered the Calamari, the Crab Cakes, the Fried Catfish, Shrimp and Grits, Salmon Salad, and the burger. I also got their Sunrise Tequila cocktail (as they were out of the sunset margarita that I had initially wanted to try). I loved my shrimp and grits! The dish was super tasty, and the grits were cheesy and delicious. The fried catfish was also great, and the calamari appetizer was shared amongst the four of us. I do not think I liked the crab cake as much, but it was still pretty good. My personal preference at least. My boyfriend ordered a soda, and it was nice that they let you get a collectible cup for your soda to go as well! Would come again!

This restaurant has SO MUCH POTENTIAL yet it falls short every time I go. This last time we went…read more(6/20/26) it was for a new reason. It was in the mid 80s and over 50% humidity outside. We were wanting to sit outside for the amazing view. We are led to the table closest to the back door. The misters were on like an indoor sprinkler fire suppression system. I'm talking soaking wet everything. Our table was getting misted and the chairs on the mister side had puddles of water on the seats. This is because the humidity outside was too high for misters to be effective (they cool air via evaporation- it was too humid for this to occur). We asked our waitress (who was great) if we could get the misters turned down or off since they were not making it any cooler and just getting everything soaking wet and she said she didn't want to get in trouble. I said they could be mad at us and just tell the manager the misters are getting everything wet. She gave the impression that she'd asked this several times before and management denied customer requests to turn them off. It was so soaking wet the floor had a "caution wet floor" sign on it, which means management was aware of the state of the situation and did nothing. ? Management, if the misters are resulting in wet surfaces, that means the mist is not evaporating, and the misters are not working. This is a very simple concept. There are other things that could be improved. Once the sun started setting we were getting blinded so we all moved to the other side of the table facing away from the sun (and the lake). This is an easy fix- install some shades! This is a double solution as they can be used to retain warmth in cold weather. Overall the food was really good. The gumbo was weirdly gelatinous and did NOT TASTE LIKE traditional gumbo- I'm from southeast Texas, from a long line of Cajun cooks. It tasted more like gravy and had a gravy texture. Not really edible. The snapper was delicious. The basil cream sauce was a smart choice, but it also was way too thick and had a goopy, non-pourable texture. Seemed like too much cornstarch was added. I ordered a bahama mama and asked for the alcohol on the side because I've felt the drinks are skimped here in the past, and they only gave me 1 shot of rum when the menu says there is a light and a dark rum shot in the drink. Waitress said the drink already had the coconut rum in it- definitely didn't taste like it. Plus, I've asked for this before and they did bring out 2 shots, so I think I just got skimped which is per usual. There was also a 6-ish y/o little boy who spent about 20-30 mins running and stomping up and down the deck right alongside our table. He was enjoying himself stomping in the mister puddles. Not his fault that he wasn't being supervised or contained; his parents were somewhere way far away out of eye and earshot. I saw waitresses notice, but no one made the effort to get this child's parents to corral him back to their table. We love kids so this wasn't as big of a deal as it could have been. So much potential, so many oversights. I believe in this place and I know they can improve!

Had my son's 11th birthday party here. Matthew was super helpful with prepping us for the party on…read morewhat to expect and what options we had. Him and his team were super helpful before, during, and after the party. They were auper patient with all of the kiddos running around, keeping popcorn coming and cleaning up the messes that kids inevitably made throughout the party. The venue itself was perfect for us since we had a toddler and 2 children with special needs in attendance. It's basically one big room so it was easy to keep up with where everyone was. There were so many game options, from pong (which the grandparents especially loved), patio games, mortal kombat, Mario kart, the OG duck hunt game, the list goes on. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or the adults! The crew there did a great job keeping up with our drink and food orders throughout the party. Then afterwards were helpful with rounding up the kids and getting the place cleaned up. I see a 12th birthday party at this location in our future!

If you're thinking about staying here... don't. Just don't…read more I grew up on a farm, and I'm telling you my grandparents would've cringed at how half-assed this place is run. It's like someone tried to slap lipstick on a goat and call it a getaway. Everything felt sorta clean... like "good enough if no one looks too close" clean. The house was barely ready, and don't get me started on the random weeds and junk out back. Then there was a full-on wedding using the amenities, and the Tubbs didn't warn us at all. Add in some snippy parking attendant and... PeeeeYew the whole visit stunk And the hosts? At first they apologized for screwing up... then ghosted like moody teenagers when I followed up. Total lack of effort, zero pride, and no clue how to run a proper guest stay. My money is on all their stars are... Incentivized, but that's just what I think; who knows? I've stayed in barns with more hospitality. Literally.

The first time I came to Schoepf's was when I was young, so it was really nice revisiting this…read moreplace for their great BBQ! They recently placed as the #1 BBQ spot in Texas for 2026, so of course I had to swing by. We came around 1 or 2 pm on a Saturday, and there was barely any wait to order our food. I got the beef rib, the brisket, the poblano jack sausage, potato salad, and the mac and cheese. By far, the beef rib was PHENOMENAL! Juicy, melty fatty, and easily able to tear off pieces with just a plastic fork alone. This was perfection. The brisket, I wish that I had specified that we wanted moist fatty, as I think that we were just given the leaner cut of the meat, but regardless still good! Poblano jack sausage was cheesy and tasty as well! After you order your meat, you order your sides, and I really liked the potato salad and mac. Both were great! Onions, pickles, and bread were all complimentary, and you could get as much as you wanted. I also greatly preferred the spicy bbq sauce than their normal. The interior of the restaruant is homey and country-style. Also loved their selection of sweet teas and sodas! Glad that this place is so close to home!

Schoepf's is a barbecue joint with Tex-Mex fusion. We got the sausage sandwich, brisket birria…read moretaco, and medium Mexican street corn to share between two people. The standout was the sausage sandwich. We opted for a spicy sausage, and it was delicious. The brisket birria taco was tasty, although it was about $11 just for one taco, which we did not expect. We thought it would come with more. I read good things about the Mexican street corn, but it was too creamy and had a burnt taste. The first few bites were good, but it then became cumbersome for two people to finish. The medium container was huge. I spent two days eating the leftovers and ended up throwing it away because I couldn't stomach it anymore. We also wanted mac and cheese as a side, but they were almost out, and it looked really liquidy.

Extended stay with my family of 4. I am happy with our experience thus far…read more Walking in it was clean and were greeted warmly. The indoor Pool area is warm but hot tub was not hot unfortunately. (Not sure if we could ask to turn up the heat or not). The tiles in the pool area are slick when wet and easy to slip on so be careful. We did notice someone maintaining the pool during our stay so that is nice to see. Breakfast was nice and clean/organized well. The hot coffee/tea/hot chocolate was a nice treat through out the day. Rooms were clean and bedding smelled like laundry. Bed is not too comfortable but the pillows are thankfully. Fridge was not plugged in when we first got into room but that was an easy fix, just a little inconvenient since we had some food items to transfer from our cooler bag. The heat and AC both worked great with no issues. Our bathroom plug in sockets were super loose so trying to blow dry/straighten my hair was a pain. I wanted to add that the housekeeping ladies were great with our stay and always asking if we needed anything for our room.
