The Meltdown - (Near Killeen, TX)

TheCherry RVLife We were hungry and in downtown Bastrop poring over reviews. Gracies caught our eye, not only for the overwhelming positive reviews, but also for the great atmosphere. We were not disappointed. It was a beautiful and abnormally warm winter afternoon, which made for a perfect lunch on the patio. Service was prompt and super friendly. We split a spinach salad as an appetizer. We liked it a lot - good amount of diced purple onion and bacon to add some flavor and crunch. The dressing is a little thin, but dont let that turn you off. It doesnt overwhelm the salad itself. The chicken fried steak was truly good - the steak was tender and the breading was crunchy and tasty. Good gravy. The french fries were better than most places. Kinda disappointed with the green beans - under seasoned and uninspired - they really needed a dash of salt and bacon fat. The strip steak was cooked exactly to order, which we appreciated. The garlic mashed potatoes were good, but seemed more like a casserole. The broccoli could have benefited from some red pepper flakes, butter, and lemon juice. Prices were reasonable. The kitchen was efficient at getting the food out quickly and all hot on the plate.

Elizabeth LaPha This was such a unique restaurant with a great food. The margarita was perfect and the chicken bowl was delicious. Right amount of food too, so didnt feel stuffed.

marisol fuentes Hard to believe this is local! The ambiance is amazing, the drinks are divine, and the food-surprisingly- is SOOOOO good! Great spot to meet up with your girls or for your next date night!

Dee Salinas The salad bar is always great. Never had bad service. Last week I went and had a new waitress - Jessica. She was absolutely great, professional, sweet, talkative...cant say enough about her. She needs a management position.

Riya Mitra We have been to this restaurant a few times. My husband likes to order their gluten-free pizza. The ambience is ok and the food is delicious. The portion sizes are huge, enough for two people. The servers are courteous and friendly. We have tried their Chicken Parmesan, pizza, salmon, pasta, and other dishes. This is a decent Italian restaurant that is great to visit with friends and family. Recommended to all.

Yuri Flores The food is great and the customer service as well. Love the atmosphere. Definitely recommend.
