The recently added bar on the deck and expanded seating were great. Enough shade cover to keep you cool. Consistent food quality and excellent service. We’re here about twice a month even though we live in Hudson Bend.

We had a great couple of meals here while in town. First day, we had the happy hour $5 burgers and they were great! Tasty and moist with all the toppings. And the fries are so good. The next time, my husband had the regular priced burger and it was larger than the $5 version (makes sense) and still delicious. I had a cup of tortilla soup and a beef quesadilla. Everything was hot, yummy, and served quickly. The service was really good — attentive, warm, and not overbearing. We will be back!

We’ve lived in spicewood for 10 years and this location has been thru a lot of ups and downs, but as of Nov 2019 – they seem to have there act together .

Great brunch music and views and the food finally matches the views . It’s been very good since they reopened a couple years ago – and brunch is great, they’re still a bit slow on getting the food done , even when not too crowded but we loved our meal – Chicken egg and waffle sandwich .

This place was great. Food was good and our waiter was amazing. We had the ribeye, fish and chips and the Rubin. All were amazing. You can’t beat the view either.

Tonight
Tess and I had a Wonderful Meal at the Lighthouse In Briarcliff.
We sat outside to enjoy the Sunset and Lake View.
Tess had the Steak Salad (Medium Rare) and I had the Squeaky Shrimp.
Yum Yum for both. My shrimp was so tasty and Tess Steak was Delicious.
Our Server, Isaiah (we called him Jeremiah) was The Best.

This place was great! Sarah was our server, she was the only server there and was still great! The drinks were amazing, highly recommend the lakeside lemonade or the Mexican martini. The food was great, the tequila lime shrimp was a must have. It was seriously amazing. The sauce on the shrimp was so good it had us licking the plate. We also got the mango salsa salmon which was good too.

So glad to add to the rating of this great spot. I have seen first hand how the owners have taken notice and continuously improved the service, the food prep, and even the care of the facilities. These guys truly care about you as a customer and everyone working there exemplifies that same attitude. Come here for delicious well prepared food , fun drinks, and a beautiful lakeside view that you can only find in a handful of spots on Lake Travis. A great spot you don’t want to miss!

My wife and I came by here for brunch on July 4 weekend. It was absolutely perfect. Not sure where the low reviews came from but our experience was exceptional. The view is amazing and they are also pet friendly if you sit outside out back.

She had the eggs and waffles and chicken and everything was delicious. Got to give it a try at least on the weekends for brunch!

Quaint place at the Briarcliff marina. Stopped by for the first time on a Saturday. They were serving off their brunch menu. Food was excellent. All hand made, not frozen. I had chicken and waffle with egg sandwich and my wife had the chicken fried chicken Benedict’s. She loves them. Both were excellent.

They have a full bar with tons of interesting cocktails.

Great view!

Our server Victoria was very friendly and gave great recommendations.

I had the fish and chips. The fish was fried to perfection and the portion size was generous. The fries were ok. I liked the tartar sauce a lot.
The hubby had the chicken fried steak which he enjoyed. Next time we will try one of the appetizers.

Highly recommend this place. Definitely bring your appetite!

This is an interesting little restaurant located in the neighborhood of Briarcliff. The restaurant sits on the edge of the Colorado River and has seating both inside and outside. We tried the build your own burger and the ruben sandwich both of which were very good. It’s definitely worth the drive to come and try this place. It’s good for families, couples and large groups. Full bar area with 4 TVs.

We just ate there with my in laws and the food was delicious. We started with onion rings and the batter was very good and they were cooked perfectly; it was obvious they were prepared in house. My husband and FIL had the fish and chips and were impressed with the amount of fish in each piece; the batter was well seasoned and they were fried perfectly (crispy and not too greasy). My MIL had the fish tacos and loved the avocado sauce. I had the shrimp meal (shrimp, rice and vegetable) and the shrimp were well seasoned and topped with a good sauce. The food took a little bit of time but it was well worth it. The servers and staff were friendly. Keep it up! We will be back.

Decided to try out Lighthouse tonight. I know they’d only been open for a few days but the anticipation got to me! Immediately you’ll notice there are two separate parking sections – one for regular parking and the other for handicap and golf carts. You walk in to a freshly renovated space with amazing views of the lake. Of note, I never visited this place when it was some other restaurant so I have nothing to compare it to. I like how there are basically 3 different seating options: regular indoor dining, bar seating and a huge outdoor patio. All of it inviting and clean. The menu was much larger than I expected and a variety of things to boot. Makes it hard for indecisive people like me! Thank God there is another option besides BBQ in the area!

The food was good and our drinks were promptly refilled. All the staff was super nice. As to be expected, there are minor kinks to work out but I’m sure soon enough it will be smooth sailing. I’m looking forward to warmer weather and enjoying drinks out on the patio. It’s nice that there’s a kid’s area too! I foresee this place hoppin’ come boating season!
