Editorial Review for Moonshine - Patio Bar & Grill – by Tara Hall

In Short
A comfortable 1860s house sets the scene. Candlelit windows, oversized mirrors and distinctive artwork embellish the exposed-brick walls and hardwood floors. Behind the main house sits a carriage house-turned-bar amid the trees. The combination of cozy decor, dim lighting and beautiful grounds creates a homey elegance. Intent on providing great American cooking, Moonshine concocted a menu offering classic favorites: corn dog shrimp, baked macaroni, shake-and-bake Parmesan chicken and horseradish-crusted salmon.

We went by for Sunday brunch and I have to say the food was pretty good. I mean skip the bland quiche slices, in fact most the egg dished were just ok. But the casseroles were really good as were the sweet items. Now there is a 30-45 minute wait. We decided to skip it as we found a spot in the bar. The bartender was very good and she attended to our needs great. Mind you it was a maze to walk through the crowd to get out food and come back to the table. unsure why they would set up all the food in the same area as the waiting area inside. Honeslty it was so poorly presented out I had 2 serverand, 2 customers and 4 people waiting bump into me on my 2 trips to the buffet. It was ridiculous. Waitstaff outside the bar was pretty iffy, but the hostess that was more worried about how her hat was on and flirting with the waiters was the best - we never saw her look a patron in the eye. Kind of rude. Not sure we'll go out of our way to eat here again. Could be a great place, but jusk ok.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This place is amazing! The food is always good and fresh and I love going when the weather is perfect and in Texas that means when it's not 100 and above! I would suggest checking this place out at lunch or for Sunday brunch. The menu is amazing and there is something for everyone!

Pros: Food and outdoor dining!

Cons: a little pricey!
