This little place has some of the best catfish in town! Pretty good old-fashioned burgers, too! More

The Boat House Grill is a casual laid back resaurant near Lake Travis. It specializes in fried catfish and hamburger baskets that are so good you will be planning your next visit while you are still there. Though the inside air conditioned section is very small, they have a large covered outside section where live music is performed on weekend... More

I've tried this place a few times and I have to say I won't be going back. The food is ok. It's very bland and tastes like it came right out of a freezer. They do have a nice playscape for your children to play on but, for me, we won't be going back. More

I almost always order the catfish platter, with fried catfish, french fries, hush puppies, and cole slaw. It's a lot of food. Their fried shrimp and fried green tomatoes are excellent as well. Swallow it down with a cold Shiner Bock... More

We were looking for a place for lunch and I saw the Boathouse Grill out of the corner of my eye. It was an unusual & unique looking building, but what made us turn the car around and pull into the parking lot were all of the cars parked outside! It didn't take us long to find out why they... More

We have been eating here for the last 7 or 8 years. It's one of those places that many people seem to drive by forever and put it on their mental list to stop by, because they seem to always be doing a great business. There is nothing fancy about it, but that is what makes it great for us.... More
