    This restaurant is located in an odd location behind a motel in Bandera. I got the chicken club…read moresandwich, which I really enjoyed. The Texas toast was fragrant, and the flavours of the sandwich blended very well together. My cousin got the fried catfish platter, which didn't have much of a flavour, but he said that means it's a river catfish. He is a catfish connoisseur and liked it. The jalapeno hush puppies that came with it were excellent. However, the coleslaw had a very odd flavour, and neither of us liked it. It tasted acrid to me. I didn't really like the fries because of the seasoning, but I still had a few. The server initially gave my cousin water instead of the sweet tea that he ordered. They served us our water and sweet tea in mason jars, which looked very nice, but the water was not pleasing to my taste buds as it tasted like unfiltered tap water.

    We brought out of town family to Bandera and have always had good food at Bricks, so chose it for…read morelunch. Everyone enjoyed their meals! I had a mushroom swiss burger and onion rings with ranch...so yummy. Cons and the reason for the 3 stars...There weren't any clean tables and the menus were dirty...we saw that there was only one guy seating, getting drinks and serving. I'm guessing he was also the cook, because it took an hour and a half to get our food. Another guy showed up near the end of our meal and was helping take orders. They were obviously short staffed, but I was proud of the guys...they were hustling.

    We stayed in the Caboose. Yes, it's a real caboose, but it's been outfitted with a little bedroom,…read morekitchen, and bathroom complete with a nice shower. And YES, it has central heat and air. It would sleep three comfortably with a little person in the upper berth. The accommodations were not fancy like at a bed and breakfast...but the real treat is the location. Our caboose deck was practically ON the water. Take a look at the photos to see. Note...this is not the Holiday Inn. You will see the occasional spider. You are in the country. Would you like to go tubing down the Medina River...you're set! How about some paddle boating or canoing on the lake? Maybe some swimming. Would you rather take your camera out at sunset and photograph about 70 axis deer eating dinner? You can check all these off your trip itinerary without leaving the grounds. And while it's called a ranch, they do not have horseback riding on site. They have goats, but I do not suggest riding them. The folks at Muller's Ark can hook you up with some wranglers. It costs less than going to a dude ranch...dude--$80 to $120 a night as compared to about $200 per person per night at some of the dude ranches I priced. We saw deer, armadillos, alligator gar (in the water), bunnies, cats, dogs, goats, peacocks, etc... We did go tubing. We floated on the river through the other guest ranches visiting with other folks for about 2 hours. We had to hoof it a little because my daughter saw a harmless green snake and FREAKED out in her usual fashion. But other than that...which I can't really blame on Muller's Ark--the trip was great.

    I love this place. My mom stayed here last year, and I'm here on my own this year on the way to and…read morefrom Central Florida. You have a giant lake with canoes and paddleboats (kinda old and falling apart, but they work), a river, livestock and super friendly hosts, Steve and Patsy. I stayed in a trailer known as Mobile 2, which is HUGE. I also came with both my German Shepherds and that wasn't a problem, so long as they stay away from the sheep (my older boy used to go to herding classes). Like the previous poster Dena stated, this isn't the Holiday Inn. I didn't find spiders, but a bird nesting on my patio. It's cool to see deer come up to your trailer, along with several jackasses and sheep. I will definitely come back here in the future.

    We swung by The Boat while in town and had a few drinks and bites sitting on the back patio…read moreoverlooking the river. The Boat is a bar/restaurant decorated like you just walked in off the beach in Port A. There's tons of beachy island knick knacks on the walls, surf boards, life preservers, fishing pics, game fish mounts, etc. When you walk in the first thing you'll see is a half circle, some would say boat shaped, bar with plenty of regulars posted up keeping their drinks company. Beyond the bar there's plenty of indoor and back patio seating options, and if the weather is any sort of good I'd suggest grabbing something outside so you can take in the river view. If you're here for a beer or drink, they have a healthy selection to pick from. Beyond the regular domestic beers and mixed drinks, they feature a specialty cocktail menu of beachy libations like painkillers, Blue Mermaids, Dosaritas, pineapple rum punch, and a few others. The menu is large and offers all the fried seafood you could think of, as well as burgers, steaks, sandwiches, po-boys, and other non ocean fare. We settled on a dozen gulf oysters to start and I had one of their burgers while my wife ordered one of their salads. Everything was great! It's a beach bar stuck in the hill country, so if you're expecting fine dining this is not the place for you, but if you're craving a fried shrimp basket, po-boy, or greasy burger, you'll be fine. Service was very friendly and quick. Our waitress chatted us up on where we were from, what we should make sure to see and do while in town, and overall she did a great job making us feel welcome. Long review short, if you're looking for laid back beach vibes, there probably won't be many other choices in Kerrville than The Boat.

    This is a tough one for me since I love the beachy laid back atmosphere here and most of the…read moreemployees appear friendly. But my last visit was not the same. We sat outside and our waitress came up to the table with a sour face. You could say she was as cold as my friend's burger patty (which I'm told tasted like a frozen patty that hadn't been cooked long). I wish we had sat one section over and got the smiley, attentative waitress. My fish and chips on the other hand were packed with cajun flavor and nice and hot! I also tried the onion rings and they appeared fresh and homemade. I guess it depends on what you order. Maybe the seafood will just always be the better option at this spot. The bar area is full of regulars and fun characters. So I probably will give this place another chance and just steer clear of cold lady and cold burgers. I won't throw it out as an option due to one employee just yet.

    Fish and chips were delicious but I was told burger seemed like a frozen patty that didn't get warmed up enough.
