The League Tavern is a gastropub…read more "Gastropub". That word is so 2010's. A decade ago calling yourself a "gastropub" was the coolest thing in the hospitality industry. Now, it is a lost artifact of another decade, along with Swedish House Mafia and Britney Spears. The League calls itself a retro reminder of the eating clubs of the 1920's and 1930's. It is pretty damm good as a gastropub. It would not really want to be an eating club of the Prohibition era. Menus in that era could be pretty awful. Mashed parsnips. Liver and onions. Greens that have been cooked to death. Tough steaks. Low quality lager beer. The Indian Puddings were all right. The fish was great if it was fresh. I wish they would bring back Welsh Rarebit. But the League sticks to a contemporary menu ... And I am glad they do. Their contemporary dishes are just great. I had a faro salad with grilled shrimp on top. The faro salad was everything I would want a grain salad to be. (I have had some awful tabboulehs and quinoa salads in my time.) The shrimp were completely lovely. Prices are high - but that is what comes with being a gastropub. The concept is: Pay more. Eat higher quality. The Lakeway market will certainly support the League in the prices it wants to charge. The selection on the menu - and for that matter the selection at the bar - is fairly restricted. Having a small menu is not a necessary correlate of being a gastropub. Some gastropubs offer you an expansive range of choices. But careful management of the menu choices means that each and every dish can be polished to a high degree of execution finesse. Practice makes perfect. My guess is that the League envisions itself as a neighborhood place - albeit a rich neighborhood place. Their customers are likely to be regulars. The regulars order their favorite dishes over and over. I myself like my bars and grills to be Cheaper, Funkier and With bigger selections on the menu and at the bar itself. So the League is not exactly my style. But what they do, they do well. They are expanding, opening more branches in more locations. They can do this because the League fills a real need in the Lakeway-Bee Cave market. If a Lakeway resident were to invite me to be their guest at the League Tavern, I would be happy to accept that invitation. Especially if they were picking up the check.

I placed an order online to pick up in the restaurant. The…read moreonline ordering was easy. I scrolled through the menu, added what I wanted to the cart. I placed macaroni and cheese and brussels sprouts in the cart. Placed the order. I got a text message and an email of my recipe. 11 minutes later I got a text saying that it was ready to pick up. I walked in to the restaurant. It wasn't very busy. I waited not even a minute when a nice women came up to me. She asked if I was picking up an order. I said yes. And said my name, I was trying to get to my text message with my receipt, she already had my bag and was walking back to me. Super quick service. By the time I got home, Urg, traffic on 620, seriously!! The food was warm/hot, so I heated it up for a couple minutes in the toaster oven. The macaroni is actually big shells, and I love that cause the cheese gets inside of the shell and it's cheesy gooey. Cheese was fantastic. Really enjoyed the Mac. Brussels sprouts I feel were just steamed. They didn't have that chard crispy outside. Just plan steamed sprouts. My small meal was delicious. Hoping to actually eat inside and have a cocktail.

The service was good. Our server was nice, no issues there…read more The food, however, was very greasy. Most of my friends ordered the patty melt; it looked okay, but the sweet red onions and American cheese were a strange choice. The curly fries were average at best. I had the chicken-fried steak sandwhich, which was decent not a lot of topping options, the meat itself was fine. The real problem was the onion rings. My friend and I both ordered them, and about an hour after eating, we both started having stomach pain and felt extremely sluggish. We both threw up shortly after, and my friend also had diarrhea. The onion rings were the only thing we shared. Those onion rings completely ruined the night, which is especially disappointing since it was my friend's birthday.

This was my first time visiting The Gramercy since we recently moved to Lakeway. It's been on our…read moreradar for quite some time, and with my brother in town, we decided to give it a try on a Tuesday night. It was quite busy when we arrived, which immediately set a good mood. The energy inside was great, the decor is beautiful, and the whole space gives off 1920s Great Gatsby vibes. The bar scene looked lively, and plenty of guests seemed to be enjoying themselves. We were offered seating on one of the couches near the entrance but chose a more private table instead. Our server was pleasant and kind, though he appeared new. A few small things were missed. Our appetizer plates sat on the table for about 15 to 20 minutes before being cleared, and fresh utensils were not brought out. The wait time for drinks, appetizers, and our main courses was quite long. It felt like we were there close to two hours, with about 30 to 45 minutes between each course. I arrived starving, and unfortunately the long waits made me cranky and impatient and started to affect my appetite. When our drinks finally arrived, I ordered the seasonal apple cider margarita. I was hoping it would be festive and delicious, but it turned out to be very tangy and bitter and not quite the cozy, fall-inspired drink I had expected. My husband and brother did enjoy their drinks, though. The pork belly appetizer, which came highly recommended, was a mixed experience. I would give it a 10 out of 10 for flavor but a 5 out of 10 for texture. The burnt end was extremely tough to cut through, even with effort, and my knife was not strong enough. While it did taste good, it was not the most tender pork belly I have had. I have had versions that truly melt in your mouth, and this one was much chewier. The fried shrimp appetizer was a solid 7 out of 10. It tasted good, but it did not stand out or wow me. The presentation set higher expectations for the flavor than what came through, and the sauce did not feel particularly unique. For my entree, I ordered the hamburger. It was good and well prepared, but nothing especially memorable, just a solid, classic burger. My brother ordered the fish sandwich and absolutely loved his. We had the chance to speak with the owner, who was very kind and friendly. He is clearly passionate about his restaurant and genuinely wants to continue making it better, which I truly appreciate. I am glad we finally made it in to try The Gramercy. Overall, I would be willing to come back. I think it would be a great spot for weekday drinks, appetizers, or brunch, especially during a busy work week. And I love that it is open late until 12 a.m., which is not very common in Lakeway.

I just read about $5 smash burgers At Hops and Thymes…read more This is my first time having this type of burger it was very very busy I could see why people wanted $5 burgers that's why other than that I was seated it was very noisy but yet I quickly ordered and I looked over the menu and the first thing I saw was Tuesday's smash Burger$5 all right for me. It's for me, sure! I then ordered The chicken wings one of my favorite places to eat wow and also I had the mango draft beer another plus and also bacon on the side for my burger. Since this was my very first time eating at this burger $5 dollars I wasn't expecting much, possibly a micro burger But was not the case it truly was satisfying. So now I am a fan, till my next 5 Dollar smash Burger visit!! Oh yea!

Met up with some friends here. We sat outside at the picnic tables…read more I guess there was no waitress assigned to our table. So we got our drinks and food from the bar. Band that was playing, phenomenal. I'm sorry I didn't get their name. But they rocked the music and the audience was eating it up. Journey! Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, Elton John, No Doubt, Pink. Lady Gaga. All the stuff that gets you in a good mood. It was blazing hot and humid, but the breeze was fantastic. I got the watermelon colada. Didn't have a strong watermelon taste. But the coconut part of the drink was refreshing. I thought it was a great drink overall. I also got the chicken quesadilla. I wish I took a picture of it. But I was starved. It was cut up in triangles with sour cream and salsa in small containers. Was delicious. And would totally get it again. Great food. Great drink, fantastic band. Wish we had a waitress though.
