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.

Move over Fresa's!! There's a new chick in town!…read more Not only are the ingredients fresh, you can taste the quality! We were shopping in Bee Cave and got hungry, so I went to Yelp to discover this cute little place. I did learn that they are mainly a "take away" model hence the play on words "picnic" on their name. But there are a few tables and bar counter that you can dine in. We ordered a bit of food- 1. Half roasted chicken 2. Hot wings 3. Roasted Beets 4. Kale side salad 5. Fun selection of NE brand beers! Yes they have wine and unique beer selection there! The roasted chicken was definitely brined- it was super juicy and the chimichurri and salsa complimented it wonderfully. It was explained to me the chicken were free range and how they are raised humanely, reminded me of an episode in a tv series- Portlandia that made me chuckle. The hot wings... Buffalo style but not like at Anchor Bar.. still amazing in its own right. Fresh (I mean there were zero dry spots on carrots and celery and it was crunchy fresh that even me, the non-celery lover- ate 4 sticks with their tasty homemade ranch sauce. (I think it was the ranch dressing bc I literally licked the bowl clean) The roasted beets were served cold with feta cheese crumbles, mint and pistachios. I could eat that by itself as a meal! Yummy! Now, I usually hate kale. Only like it roasted. But I can eat Chicknic's Kale side salad all day long. It contains roasted cauliflower, pickled red onion and a mountain of pumpkin and sunflower seeds! (Maybe that's why I like it so much??) All washed down with a brown ale beer you find in the NE. While we were dining, several people came by to pick up their to go orders and there is a fun freezer where they sell delicious take aways like chicken soup and their famous chicken pot pie, chicken crepes, chicken enchiladas... oh did I mention this is a great place if you're on a keto diet or gluten free restriction?!?? I also found if you follow their Facebook page, you can see new menu items or transparency of how they run their business. What you waiting for? Give this place a try and support local!

When a long time customer shares with you a concern that they have with your customer service,…read moregiving excuses for five minutes is not the correct way to handle it. You basically told me that you don't care that I wish you would answer your phone. However, using the excuse that you only have two people in the kitchen while you and another person sit at a table and ignore the phone ringing sealed that fact that you do not care about your customers. As always, the chicken had good flavor, but I cannot keep ignoring the dryness any longer. And with your lackadaisical attitude toward your customers, I am done. Not a single soul in the place, no to go orders waiting on the to go rack. Just sit there and ignore the phone.

I was humble by the friendliness in this restaurant. I didn't sat and ordered a mango beer my absolute favorite. I ordered the schnitzel which is a German dish absolutely out of this world delicious and they even serve it with some lemon that you can squeeze on top that gives it the flavor and the delicious taste of the crispiness on the top of the breaded chicken. The one thing I wanna stress is as you know the chicken wings is my absolute Favorite because it's not overwhelmed wit With noisy overdone seasonings and tons of barbecue which I do not like. Services top-notch very attentive I'm humbled and happy within great service I received today. If there's ever a problem they'll correct it immediately with no hesitation. I never had a problem here before Never had a problem here before and watch out for their specials too they do run special half off on happy hour chicken wings. Until next time!

Ordered the West Coast. Pizza had sun dried tomatoes. Artichoke, olives, and spinach. The crust was outstanding. Lightly golden and light crisp. I wanted to order wings, but they were out. So I got the mozzarella sticks instead. They were okay. The dinning area is nice. Their patio is epic. Really big, and the view is outstanding. I wish I knew of this place when it was a little warmer. That patio looks like the place to be in the spring, summer, and fall time. I we will be back for sure

I was very surprised by how small rhe place was when I walked in, but the staff by the bar were really friendly'. you do have to order up front at the registar, and they do have a big menu on the wall. I went with the chicken wings, I'm a bit of a chicken wing enthusiast and the wings were fantastic not too spicy, just perfect. I also had the chicken Alfredo and a Greek salad. Alfredo is definitely americanized but still really good and the Greek salad was huge even the small size. Overall, I was super happy with the meal the staff the food all of it period. Just note parking can be tight since it stays busy, but I went on a Sunday when it was calmer period I'll definitely be back! Happy yelping!

Overall, fair pizza. I've seen ads and we decided to check them out. We haven't been "wowed" with…read morePizza in Austin and this place is no exception. We had the pizza delivered so our experience is based upon that. Out of all the pizza selections they had, we ordered two custom pizzas. For the first pizza we tried to do a veggie pizza. It was surprising how they offer a "Garden Veggie" pizza that comes with zucchini but you cannot order the zucchini when you build your own. And while they do offer tomatoes, also surprised they do not offer sundried tomatoes. So, we did the white garlic sauce with artichoke, red onion, black olive and mushroom. This was certainly the better of the two but the sauce and cheese were quite scarce. For the other build your own, we did pepperoni, sausage, mushroom and jalapeno. Again, the sauce and cheese was very scant. As already mentioned, the veggie was the better pizza and I would order with more sauce. The traditional pizza with the meats fails the "cheese pull" test. When you take a slice of the pizza and pull it from the pie, there was no visible cheese. Another odd thing is the slices are incredible small. They slice the pizza into way to many slices. Instead of a slice, it's almost like a bread stick. I worked in a pizza place throughout high school and the owner used to tell me the most expensive thing on the pizza was the cheese So, I kind of get being careful when they put cheese on the pizza, but sauce is one of the cheapest parts of the pizza so why do they need to be so scarce with sauce? I know I can order "extra" sauce, but it seems I would paying more just to get a normal amount of sauce. The same goes for the cheese. I would have to order extra cheese just to get the normal amount of cheese. Overall, the pizza is okay. But it's disappointing you cannot order something like zucchini as an additional item on a custom pizza when they offer it for other pizzas. Lack of sauce/cheese also makes this a place I wouldn't regularly go to. Last, the price. We knew how much the pizzas were going to be when we ordered, but them but for the price, these pizzas should have had much more sauce/cheese.

They have a patio area for the fall or if you want to try and sweat your food away in the summer they turn on the misters. Service can be hit or miss at times. It may just be how they run things? You have to ask for things.. the service isn't proactive (i used to wait tables in college). Sports tvs all over the walls and outside. Plenty of parking.

We came in at 3:30 on a Saturday and there was only a table of 6 and a table of 2 sitting inside. There was no host to seat us, so we asked a server if we seat ourselves.

There were bartenders and servers literally standing around this empty restaurant, but nobody could be bothered to stop by and offer us a water or a menu. We straight up left and nobody even noticed....in an empty restaurant. Such a shame because this place is so cute.

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.
