    Loaded potato and fruit smoothie. Friendly, helpful staff serve a variety of stuffed potatoes. Wonderful all around, highly recommended.

    Potatoes done right. What a dining experience! Clean, hospitable and the meal was one to remember.

    They were so nice and the food was amazing! I have never had a baked potato as good as this. My daughter got the buffalo wings and it had a delicious amount of heat to them.

    This is another hidden jewel restaurant in The Texas Hill Country: The Potato Shack in Kingsland. Although it has been around for a few years, it has been at three locations until October 2024, when they moved to their permanent home. Co-owner, Robin, and her husband, who provided great service, have wonderful plans for the future: patio for outdoor seating, great sunset view, expanding to a second level and adding wine and beer as well as a more extensive dinner menu. If in the area, check it out.

    Very good sandwiches- we had the French dip and chicken salad. They were both delicious. The bread made them especially good!

They bring the food to your table. It is a true Texas style old fashioned place. We went back in the evening for two dip cones.

We got our order and it looked like it was okay. Had a few fresh, hot French fries sticking out the top and those were good. However those few fries were the only thing good. They had stuffed some old, hard, greasy fries in the bottom of the fries container then put a few fresh fries on top! After the couple of good fries on top the rest of them were horrible. When we went to eat our burgers, the meat was cold. The bun was cold too. It felt like they had just pulled the buns out of the fridge. Overall it was just a nasty experience. I have never heard of a restaurant cramming old, cold, fries in the bottom of the cup and sticking a few fresh ones on top before. This was our third time at this Dairy Queen. The first time was two years ago and that time it was good. The second time was a couple of weeks after our first visit and that time was disappointing. That time the meat in the burger was hard and burned. So we didn't go back until today. We had been on the road and were hungry and thought we would try Dairy Queen again. We won't make that mistake ever again. Our experience today was the worst experience we have had with any fast food restaurants ever. Shoving old cold food in the bottom of the sack and sprinkling a few good fries on top to fool us enough to get out of the parking lot???? That's the lowest thing I have ever experienced from any restaurant in my entire life! I don't know who owns this location but they should be shut down. It's a health hazard!

Since our initial visit, the…read morewinemaking team has clearly refined their aging process, and the culinary side is firing on all cylinders. I sampled the Bruschetta. The healthy portion of Burrata cheese, the acidity in the balsamic glaze and tomatoes creates a seamless match with the Sangiovese, enhancing the wine's red fruit characteristics without washing out the palate. For this trip, I also tasted the 2023 Meritage, a dark, complex blend anchored by Texas grown grapes including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon balanced with Cabernet Franc. Offers layered aromas of cassis, graphite, baking spices and grounded by structured, firm tannins. My previous review included the feedback that prices were incredibly high. Now, the prices of everything else has caught up. Good job Team Perissos. The hospitality of the staff is why we moved to Texas in the 80s. I'm well traveled and I can tell you, Texas hospitality is beyond compare.

    Lunch today at The Dam Grill was especially memorable and satisfying…read more It began with an experience that speaks to the true greatness of America. An elderly, mobility challenged couple parked at the front of the restaurant. The wait staff rushed out and assisted them to a table. Don and Barbara are regulars...I talked to them a bit on my way out. The care I saw happen there talks about the heart of America. It's not the politicians that make this country great...It's the people! It's service like this, that goes above and beyond. It's small, neighborly businesses where the customers become family. It's GOOD people that make this country great. ...And good food only makes it that much better! My meal choice for today was the large Chicken Fried Steak, with green beans, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, roll and sweet tea...your quintessential, thoroughly satisfying, Texas style comfort food. The steak portion was BIG! Big enough that I have AT LEAST one more fine meal coming from the leftovers. The mashed potatoes were smooth, drenched in a generous portion of delightful cream gravy. The DG style green beans are unique and were delicious. The roll was fresh and melt in your mouth good. As for the sweet tea... Well... Let's just say that it was just right! The smoke free restaurant is clean and spacious with plenty of seating. The friendly wait staff stays on the move attending to customer's cups of tea, coffee and sodas. The kitchen gets meals out quickly. The table bussers are meticulous and quiet. Outside, the parking lot has plenty of handicapped access spaces and free general parking galore...with lot's of room for rancher's truck's and trailers. I only have one complaint. In my book, breakfasts like theirs should be available all day long. LOL. Dang good stuff! Friday night is all you can eat catfish. When I want catfish, this is my goto. The fish is tender, succulent fillets and the beans and hush puppies are to die for. If You want a truly satisfying meal at a price that won't break your wallet, the The Dam Grill is right where you need to be. Just sayin'.

We drive from Georgetown, TX as often as possible just for the catfish on Fridays. Even when they are extremely busy, the waitstaff will get to you promptly.
