    Our server Luke was very kind and even gave us a discount for having a smaller portion of ceviche. The ambiance was amazing. It was in the evening when we visited so the breeze was great on the lower level patio/lawn area. My burger was good but the fries were dry. My husband enjoyed his burger as well. We will definitely be back with the kids as the playground looks like so much fun for them.

    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!

    (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.

    Ceviche

    Atmosphere and service were A plus. Ceviche made from white fish ok. But like more variety - shrimp more herbs and spices. Chick en fried steak was great along with the greens beans and mashed potatoes. Nice bar area and good variety of drinks. We had margaritas which were flavorful and not to strong. Definitely going again.

    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.

    Visiting from out of town so was unsure about how long wait times and service would be after seeing reviews. I decided to still stop on in and hoped for a couple of seats at the bar so we didn't wait long for a table. The place was insanely packed and bartenders seemed very overwhelmed and busy. It did take a min to get acknowledged but it was very understandable after seeing how busy they were. We were told we would be helped shortly which we were completely fine with. Shout out to Reed the bartender, he is the 1 who stepped in and helped us and made our visit totally worth it!!! No matter how busy that bar was he made sure we were good the entire time despite running around and how busy he seemed to have been he just did an all around amazing job. The drinks were 10/10! I had a "man espresso" (best ever) and a honeysuckle drink. I wish i had remembered the exact name. Very well made. Food was also amazing except 1 hiccup, my shrimp was undercooked and I did bring it to their attention and the bartender did let which who I believe would have been manager know and she was willing to fix the whole meal again. I didn't want them to have go through the trouble to remake it, they just took shrimp off order. Service was impeccable I would say. I will absolutely highly recommend this place and look forward to coming again on my next visit when I am in town!

    great service from Griff! thanks for the laughs & views! steak had lots of flavor. enjoyed my time here.

    Backyard

    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.

    Iconic Music Venue & Nostalgic Dive Bar…read more If you are in the mood for a cold beer and great music, then take a scenic drive out to Devil's Backbone Tavern! It first operated as a stagecoach outpost & blacksmith shop. And it famously built the Tavern in Comal County during prohibition. It wasn't until the 1950s that a dance hall pavilion was added to the property. And while the tavern wasn't made famous through country songs, it remained a popular watering hole for the locals. Today, the new owners have helped revitalize the dance hall and brought about a renewed appreciation for this musical outpost. Some of the greatest singer/songwriters come to play at Devil's so be sure to check out the list of upcoming shows. So put Todd Snider in your playlist, check your GPS, and take a drive out to Fischer for a cold beer and great music! On a more personal note, I would love to see more listening room / storytelling type shows and album signing opportunities where artists can take advantage of the great acoustics and intimate space.
