    After a morning hike in So Llano State Park, nothing better hits the spot. Coconut strawberry milkshake.

    After hiking South Llano State Park nothing hits the spot better than a strawberry banana milkshake.

    Great little place to stop for a bite! We had the fried pickle chips and they were AMAZING! Nice service, and definitely a favorite for locals. It seemed like a family reunion in there with how everyone knew each other! Haha

    Amazing little place in the cutest little small town! My family was passing through on our way home to California after visiting family and we stopped here for lunch. The lady that served us was super polite and friendly, and the food was delicious! Would 10/10 recommend stopping there again!

    Ok, it was super busy, so I'll start there to be fair. The little teen girls (2) that were serving were doing all they could and were friendly enough. However, the burgers came out 1/2 size the bun on a junior, and had cheese, so we had to wait for another. The first service was over 30 mins. Then we ordered a pizza later, so we expected a long wait only to finally ask for it in a box, and it came out ice cold and had been sitting a while. It went into the trash. I'd try again on a less busy day because the rest of the food was VERY good. They aren't permanently closed, so I'm not sure why it says that.

    The service was great. Seasoned fries are a must! The galaxy steak was excellent except for the gravy. Gravy seemed like it came from a jar.

The staff was warm and friendly from the moment I walked in.I ordered the pork chops--they were tender, juicy, and finished with a wonderful hint of honey. The meal came complete with a side of potatoes, a fresh side salad, and a warm biscuit.

I had a plate of French toast, my dad had a breakfast burrito, and my mom had pancakes and a side of eggs and bacon. The prices were all very reasonable, and our waitress was very attentive and sweet. There are absolutely immaculate bathrooms inside as well, which are between the shop and restaurant part of the building. Tons of parking outside too, it's a dirt lot.

    While in town for our anniversary, the wife and I decided to grab breakfast. Looking for a quaint,…read morenon chain restaurant, I I resorted to ChatGPT. ChatGPT raved about Sunset Grill, so we hopped in the car and zoomed down. Upon arriving, we walked into the cramped restaurant, and we were greeted by a nice hostess. She put our name on a list, and we had a brief 5-10 minute wait before we were seated. We were handed menus and left to peruse the menu. After a brief wait, we were greeted by our waiter and he took our drinks. In good time the waiter was back with drinks and he took our order. I ordered a bacon and cheese omelette. It came with potatoes and toast. The wife ordered the plate with eggs over easy, crispy bacon, and potatoes. The wife and I sat and had a nice visit. We should not have drank our drinks so fast, as they stayed empty the entire time we visited. Our waiter not once made eye contact so we could get a refill either. After an average wait time, our food came. Our waiter noticed the drinks and then refilled them. My omelette was undercooked and watery, the cheese was not melted, and the bacon was chewy. Furthermore, the toast was also very dry. I would have gotten butter to put on them, but the waiter never came back to check on us. The wife's eggs were cooked over hard, the bacon was rubbery, and very underwhelming. Our drinks went empty and we never got refills, again. We paid the bill and went shopping. I was glad to get out of there. I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, but I think they missed the mark here. ChatGPT did me dirty on this one. I don't know if they just were having a bad day, or what the deal was, but this was a one and done for me. I cannot say I recommend this one. I was very disappointed.

Our waiter, Ethan, was friendly and attentive and did a great job. He's the only thing I can say that's good here. We started with the Appetizer Combo, which had fried mushrooms, zucchini, pickles, mozzarella sticks, onion rings and marinara and ranch for dipping. The batter was a nice consistency, but lacked seasoning, so very bland. The dips were good. A couple of us had the small appetite plate, with salad, soup and a half a sandwich. We got tomato basil soup and a BLT and added avocado. The salad and sandwich were good. The soup was so salty I couldn't eat it. One person got the catfish plate with green beans and pasta salad. The green beans were canned and mushy. Those same canned green beans were in the pasta salad. The fish was so salty it was inedible. Just overall not a good experience. The place feels old and dingy. They do have a nice river front location and patio seating.
