    This restaurant has a nice exterior appeal, and it was easy to make a reservation online. At the time we went, there was ample parking. The hostess was pleasant, we had reservations, and we were promptly seated. The server was very kind, but she didn't know the menu. We had two simple questions about the menu and each time she had to leave to ask someone else. Perhaps the waitstaff can have the servers actually taste the food beforehand (?). We felt that the food was pricey for what we received. To compare restaurants, I normally look at a simple grilled chicken breast. If it's cooked properly, that's how I judge prices. Here the chicken breast is $26.00. That's high compared to other casual restaurants, which this is. After all, there are wooden picnic tables outside. We each started out with the ceviche. It had only fish, no other seafood, and was very skimpy. It came out in a small happy hour dish and was akin to SOUP, more broth than substance. It was so disappointing. I've not had ceviche like this before, nor do I ever want it this way again. The chips that came with it were listed as house made, but they had no taste. The chips our friends ordered with their queso tasted better, but still tasted bagged. I tasted the queso they had and it was bland, and was like processed cheese. Our group of six didn't even finish it. Yuk. My drink was very good though. I had the Wimberly Midnight Coffee which I highly recommend, except it was in an extremely small glass. My entree was the Gulf Snapper. The fish was very pleasant, accompanied with three grilled shrimp. It is definitely NOT shareable and was $32., probably in the right range, but the potatoes that came with it weren't even warm, and tasted like they were instant. They literally were unseasoned and had no taste. The asparagus was properly al-a-dente, but there weren't many on the order. We will not be returning.

    Cucumber martini and local beer

    This is a really cool and fun spot- and I know they are new so I am giving grace- but services was not great. There were people getting up and leaving because they were just never helped or it was so far in between that they got frustrated and bailed. I tried to order the chicken salad sandwich and they were out. When we initially ordered a beer off the menu the bartender said he didn't even know if they had that beer and had to double check. One set of people with a small child were told the bar area was 21 and up while another child went up and down the stairs alone and was running all around the bar area-- you definitely need signs and for people to enforce that it is 21+ no children upstairs. That all being said- I know it's new and will take time- but they need several people helping upstairs when it gets busy. I thought the food was good- a bit pricey- but tasted good. The ahi tuna Asian salad was amazing- I ate every last morsel. My husband loved his burger and fries. We will be back!

    Great spot with great service! We went Mother's Day and it was crowded but we got sat quickly and our waitress was great! We sat outside and enjoyed the back patio area and live music.

    (4.5/5) Stopped by Honeysuckle on FM 306 today right before they opened (highly recommend doing that to beat the Sunday rush). First impression--this place has one of the best views around. The upstairs open-air bar overlooks the Devil's Backbone, and it's hard to beat. Food overall was strong. I had the Chicken Fried Steak--hand battered, good crust, tender meat. Sides (green beans and mashed potatoes) came out cold, and the gravy was just okay, but I'd still order it again. My wife got the smash burger and loved it--great flavor, fresh toppings, and solid fries. Fried green tomatoes were the standout--10/10. Perfect batter and seasoning. Drinks were solid. Bloody Mary was simple but good, and the Honey Drop was a hit. Service was great for a place that's only been open a couple weeks--friendly, attentive, and Trevor did a great job taking care of us. Atmosphere is where they really shine. The upstairs deck and outdoor area are perfect, especially for families. We'll definitely be back with the grandkids. Bottom line: Great start for a new spot. A few small kinks to work out, but absolutely worth checking out--just give them a little grace while they get dialed in.

    This place is amazing!! It's on FM 32 on the most scenic road in the area. We came for an early lunch, so not crowded. We took a walk around the great outdoors space with band stand & bar. A wonderful play space for kids and even kid sized picnic tables. We also checked out the upstairs deck where there's another bar and some beautiful views. You can order food inside, out in the "backyard" as well as the upper deck. All of the waiters, managers, bartenders & owner, Ryan were very friendly and happy to see you. The food was really good and different. We will be back with the family & grandkids.

    First off, everyone was super friendly! From the hostess at the front who is very bubbly and accommodating to the waitress, who allowed me to take time to look over everything. She had excellent recommendations and a pretty good knowledge of the menu. She also checked back regularly. The restaurant has a fun lighthearted, upscale feel, with a beautiful outdoor area. Unfortunately, it was raining so I didn't get to explore, but the inside has huge windows which makes you feel like they bring the outside in. Started with a signature gin cocktail called The Gambler. They have a lot of fun sounding drinks. This one seemed like an interesting choice. It ended up being not as interesting as I had hoped, but not bad. If you are a vodka person, which I am, the selection is a little lacking, especially in local favorites, such as Dripping Springs or Good Night Loving. For a starter, I ordered the House Queso, because as you know in Texas, every restaurant is measured by their queso. This is gonna sound like an odd thing to say, as I do love authentic queso, but this is not that and I still liked it. If you like movie theater queso then you'll like this queso. It's not an insult and not in an "out of a can" sort of way, just simpler, no fuss melted cheese. I did enjoy it. It's just not what I would consider authentic queso (not that they even claimed that) but I would order it again. The chips were crisp, probably not made in house but have that homemade taste. The main course I wanted to try their chicken fingers. The pictures online looked like a homemade hand breading with homemade ranch or honey mustard. Another high bar for me is excellent french fries and chicken fingers. It might not be highbrow, but if you master those, your aces in my books. Because if you're gonna have a bar with great drinks, you're gonna need great finger foods. Another Texas staple...RANCH. Theirs is on point, as was the honey mustard. In fact, I can believe I'm going to say this, but the honey mustard was my favorite! The fries were fine. Hand cut but note crisp or beaded like I prefer. Fresh and hot but nothing to write home about. Now to the chicken finders...the picture online showed the perfect golden brown, mine were a little over cooked. Surprisingly not dry though. The breading was good but fell right off. The serving size was perfect and there is no doubt that these are made in house which is becoming hard to find as most places use frozen. I'd give them another chance. I would like the breading to be a little thicker and have a little more flavor and of course not be overcooked. I wanted to finish with a specialty drink called a man-espresso but I'll save that for next time! Everything was hot and fresh, and came out in a timely manner. Quite a few things on this menu I'd like to try, so I will definitely be back to check them out. At least half the appetizers sound like something I would want, like Fried Catfish Bites and Hand Breaded Mozzarella. If they add any kind of mushroom, I'd be there all the time! Plenty of excellent entree choices too. Asian Crunch Salad and the Honeysuckle Smash Burger are on my short list! There was more than enough staff, and it seems like they've gotten any service issues under control. I do think what appeared to be two managers on the floor, that them checking in at the tables would be a good idea. The restaurant was very clean. I even saw several people sweeping cleaning up. Throughout my time there. Overall an excellent experience! So glad I live close and can hopefully become a regular here.

    Grilled snapper, shrimp, mashed potatoes, and asparagus!!! Delicious.
    Sean V.

    I tried the Snapper with shrimp and mashed potatoes and it was delicious. The fish was lightly seasoned and grilled to a savory perfection! The service was very personal and more than one wait staff stopped in and checked on us. The light breeze and music on the upper deck created a perfect ambiance. If you are looking for a hidden gem this is your spot!

    Our charges do not match up to what we ordered. Unfortunately we were charged more than what we ordered.
