I will forever be grateful to Thistlewood Manor for making my graduation photoshoot one to remember. First and foremost, when I called to schedule last minute, the owner seemed just as excited as I was to be graduating with my Doctorate! Then, when picture day arrived, there were literally tornadoes in both Austin and San Antonio, and the venue and roads had flooded. Despite considering canceling my photoshoot, the owner held out and waited for the water to recede. Miraculously, the sun came out, and all the water had seemingly disappeared. The owner arrived on time to my shoot, and the show went on as planned. It was perfect! She let us have full reign to her beautiful property, and my graduation photos turned out absolutely stunning. From the black and white spiral staircase and crystal chandeliers indoors, to the fountain and gardens outdoors. It was better than I could have ever imagined. If I need a venue again in the future, I will absolutely reach back out to Thistlewood Manor. It's not often you find business owners who not only care about the success of their business, but also the experience and memories made by their customers. Thank you again for letting me capture my once in a lifetime graduation at your beautiful venue!

Had my wedding here 11/12 and had a wonderful time. Reasonable priced and beautiful venue.

We had a New Years Eve wedding just last month. I can't say enough positive things about Thistelwood Manor. We had a year to plan our big day, and in working with Tricia and Leslie throughout that year, they were able to take every single vision I had and make it come to life. It was so nice having a venue that took care of food, tables/chairs, linens, AND flowers! I don't think you find that very often in the wedding world, but I am so happy we did. The gardens behind the venue are beautiful with several different options of where to have your ceremony. The ballroom with the grand staircase was perfect for our glamorous vibe. The food was good, and Tricia was very good with accommodating the vegans in the wedding party. If I could get married again, I would do it at Thistlewood Manor.

We were invited here for a wedding. Absolutely stunning place. The staff was so accommodating from what I could see. Driving up the house was so gorgeous , we walked in to the back using the right entrance , waking in it's so gorgeous. The "backyard" garden was breathtaking and you can feel a peace just sitting there. It's gorgeous for pictures. The bride and groom were taking pics with their court and they all looked so gorgeous. We sat down , there's a patio area with loveseats and chairs. They had appetizers and so refreshing lemonade. When we walked inside there is a dance floor and tables set up on your left and some more on your right. I must say my absolute favorite was the staircase. They had flowers all on the railing and it smelled so fresh and looked so beautiful. The table decorations were so elegant & simple without being overbearing. The food was very delicious as well. We had bacon wrapped stuffed church breast, brisket, mashed potatoes , green beans & bread with the cutest whipped butter.

An update after we already paid and had our wedding.

If you are the type of person that knows what you want, and are SPECIFIC do not get married at this venue. They fail to fully listen or pay attention to details. They over-promised and under-delivered. Each meeting there was a different "intern", so wedding details got mixed up, mis-communicated or mis-interpreted. There was also new updates to the venue right after our wedding.

Also, many of the ingredients were fresh from Tricia's garden, including the lettuce, which was delicious!

My husband and I initially wanted another well-known BBQ Asian fusion restaurant to cater our…read morewedding and were pretty set on it. But after our guest list grew, we had to move locations and our venue was no longer within their catering vicinity. I searched high and low for different vendors that fit the fusion that we wanted, but couldn't find anything that fit just right (or that didn't break the bank). Then I somehow stumbled across Rebel Catering on Google. They had a wide variety of packages for food varying from Asian, to bbq, to Mexican. They didn't have a ton of reviews, and it seemed like they mostly did corporate events, but I gave them a call. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive of how incredibly chill Rahul is at first (because I was already stressed out), but when I told him about our vision, he immediately checked with his chefs and created an incredible menu for us. My mom and mother in law's primary request was copycats of the other restaurant's corn fritters, and he even delivered on that. I'll attach a picture of the menu, but our minds were blown at the quality and freshness of the food. Buffet style brisket is HARD and he and his team crushed it. I even had friends with allergies and he accommodated them without question. The most popular part of the night though was the shaved ice. Part of Rebel Catering is their shaved ice package with alcoholic shaved ice (TABC bartender included). They had custom flavors to match our Asian fusion theme, and even brought their truck in to serve our guests! They also created a custom flavor named after our cat and created a sign with a cute cartoon of him. They also had tons of other drinks including sodas, jelly drinks, boba drinks, and energy drinks. TLDR: HIRE REBEL CATERING. Your guests will love you forever.

Rahul and his team were amazing. Communication was excellent throughout the planning stages for our…read morewedding. We received so many compliments on the food! The addition of the shaved ice station was such a fun and unique touch that our guests absolutely loved. Highly recommend!

Just stopped by for lunch and I am so glad I did! Rick told me about his pulled pork lunch special…read moreso I went for it! The bread it comes on was perfect and not overwhelmingly BIG. I tend to not like when there is TOO much bread to bite through but it was great. Like a perfect sized pocket with delicious pulled pork, bbq sauce and onions so beautifully stuffed inside. I also got a side of sausage because that is by far my favorite piece of meat when it comes to bbq. NONE of it disappointed me and I loved that he was so friendly and told me about some of the other food trailers around him that weren't open at the moment. He truly made me want to come back and try EVERY single one. Which I will...but I am definitely glad I chose him first! Thank you for the delicious lunch and wonderful customer service! Will definitely be bringing my husband by next time!

Thought I would share what type of individual is running this place. Clearly he believes I have…read morenothing better to do but complain about being out of BBQ at 12 noon. Here is an email from the owner. Classy, bordering on threatening. This has been reported to yelp and the property for which your food truck sits on sir. You are funny. If you have anything against my establishment, come speak to me professionally. Not through Yelp. I have never ever sold out before 12 pm. Not even Franklins does that. I find these complaints to be fictitious and causing malice. Please come and speak to me like a professional and stop hiding behind these words.
