Food is very good, high quality and fair value, especially for being on the lake. The views are wonderful, the sunset is spectacular on the patio. Oh and some of the best margaritas anywhere, great variety… the spicy jalapeno margarita… so good

Delicious food and incredible views. The kale salad with chicken and peanut sauce is beyond tasty. Steaks can’t be beat. Shishito peppers are done perfectly and the queso with spinach is great. Specials are another highlight with weekly rotations including meatloaf, pot pie, seasonal fish, and expertly aged cuts of beef.

This place was open the day after thanksgiving and had the most cheery, welcoming customer service. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the queso and pretzel bites. Beautiful lakeside view.

Excellent burgers. The bun and patty were delicious! Also tried their sweet potato fries and Brussels sprouts. Everything was really good! We’ll definitely be back!

My wife and I LOVED this place. It was so good, we went two nights in a row during our week vacation in Lakeway. The scenery is beautiful around the restaurant. Inside the restaurant is really nice. The food taste and quantity were great. The service was excellent. We loved everything about it and will return the next time we go to Lakeway.

We’ve known of this place for years but never found our way there until last night. When I saw they had steamed mussels on the menu we were ready to go (this has been our “Year of the Steamed Mussels “. From Key West to Santa Barbara to Amelia Island to Kona (I think) now to Lakeway, we’ve enjoyed some excellent mussels

These were no exception. The sauce was fabulous, and we ate the accompanying garlic bread dipped in the sauce. Fabulous.

We also greatly enjoyed the blackened red fish. The Brussels sprouts were well prepared. The two blackened shrimp would have made an excellent meal in themselves. Not sure they are available on the menu but they were fantastic.

We finished with a well made Key Lime pie. The consistency was just right though it might have been a tad more tart to my liking.

We will definitely be back!

I will say I live in Rough Hollow so I may be a little biased BUT, we don’t have to eat here two to three times a week but we do! The food is really good. Service is good and if at all possible, if Ed/Eddie/Edward is working, ask for him. He’s the BEST waiter I’ve ever had in my life bar none and we ask for him every time. Doesn’t matter where you sit, he’ll wait on you. If he’s in the bar, sit at the bar! Ha

Burgers are fantastic and the have a prime rib night on Thursdays and Sundays that are awesome, and it’s 1/2 price bottles of wine too. Only problem is they’re closed on Mondays but we live with it! Ha

Oh yeah, happy hour til 6pm (make it 7, come in!!! Haha) They have appetizer and drink specials…the calamari is good and the queso is really good.

Good food. Good service. Great views from the patio. #slamdunk

We were headed over to Lake Travis from downtown. We wanted lunch with a view that was tasty and didn’t break the bank. This place was #1 on our list and it was everything we hoped for!

The three of us devoured their chips & queso–it was legit. Those chips were thin, hot, crispy and had the perfect amount of salt. The queso dip was served warm and delicious. I’d go back just for the chips ‘n queso.

Their taco salad blew me away-not only is it humongous, but it’s delicious! You won’t believe its size. Share it with a friend.

The view of the lake is best from the patio, but when we were there it was just too hot for us to eat outside. I imagine at sunset that is the perfect place to be.

The service was good, not too memorable in any way, which can be a good thing, I guess.

All and all, you better believe I’d recommend this spot. The food was really tasty. Our view wasn’t the greatest since we had to eat inside, but the area around the restaurant is beautiful. You can easily find some great selfie spots with Lake Travis as the backdrop. Also, the drive there is fun as the area is in an upper class neighborhood. Some of the homes on the lake on your way there will make you say, “oh, wow, look at that.”

If you’re thinking of giving this spot a shot, I’d say go for it. I don’t have any reservations about recommending it to anyone looking for lunch or dinner with a view on Lake Travis.

I definitely recommend the Canyon Grill in Rough Hollow. The food and service are both great. Last night, my large party of 15 received the best service from Anastasia during the busiest time of the evening. She was prompt and accurate and served us with a smile. I was very impressed and hope to have her as our server next time!

Rough Hollow in Austin is a beautiful planned community. It has a feel like the Hills around Palo Alto or Los Gatos in California, mixed with the NW relaxed by the water feel and then there is the Austin,Texas warmth…
So all that to say the setting of the Canyon Grille, perched on a bluff above the picturesque boat harbor and nestled in beside the clubhouse horizon pool leaves you feeling like you are at a destination resort and not just a beautiful Austin neighborhood!

The setting is craft pub meets resort restaurant… Folks dressed sharp and some in their shorts and pool cover-ups. Servers are friendly and mature. The patio is beautiful and you can jump right into a nice drink and a craft-pub appetizer menu.

This isnt your typical craft pub though…
From the Atlantic Cod Baja tacos to the Kobi Beef Burger, everything is a few quality steps up from the typical.
If you are interested in a getaway lunch or you need a break from the hustle and bustle… This is a great spot.

We visited The Grille at Rough Hollow for the first time yesterday because we were looking for a new spot that overlooks the water. What a nice surprise! Emily is the hostess and was super sweet the minute we walked in. The food was impressive and we’ll return for their Sunday brunch. We had habanero mango bacon wrapped shrimp, wedge salad, chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and cheesecake. All equally yummy and the chef brought out the food himself. We’re very happy to know The Grille is a place to which we will return!

First thing is the staff is amazing..super accommodating and friendly. We came from Houston and was worried about our dogs having to sit in the car with the AC on but they are pet friendly! We were about to have a very nice lunch on their patio with their great view of lake Travis! Atmosphere was surreal! Some menu items are pricey but their half off appetizer are great! definitely worth the money.

Beautiful spot. Came here for lunch. Due to a digestive disorder, I had to ask for some alterations to my meal. They were busy that day, yet the kitchen and the waitstaff were extremely accommodating. Good food, excellent service.

Terrific day to be outside and see the full lake, staff was incredibly accomodating and food was great
Jon G., 6 years ago
I have read the other reviews and to not give this place a positive review is unjustified. I hope other people don’t find out about this place so i dont have to worry about making reservations. The food is very good. The appetizer menu and happy hour specials are awesome. Great service and great value for the money. Beautiful and secluded on a cove of lake Travis. Haters will hate but lovers will love. I love this place and i consider myself to be very picky.

Great cocktails and love their happy hour. Best burger on Lake Travis!

Good food, great service, beautiful location.
Always consistent, staff is awesome, friendly and professional.
Came in this weekend, it was busy…. Food came quick (and it was delicious…), kids got their food first and played on the lawn. I sat back, relaxed, enjoyed the view and a well crafted cocktail…

Great service, consistently good food and beautiful sunsets. We have had date night here several tomes, it’s always good. The Shishito Peppers are delicious. Burgers and salads are good.
Jody R., 7 years ago
I really….really like it here. Try the burger! You wont regret it. It’s a little snobby with all the richies hanging around it there in between yacht rides, but the service, food and view are always nice. Great place to take you favorite person on a quiet date.
