Coupland Dancehall

This place is awesome! 💯 Several improvements have been made since they reopened. The dancefloor is huge, so there's plenty of room to "cut a rug" with your partner! 🤠 The stage is super nice too. I played there with the People's Choice Band a couple of weeks ago and there was plenty of room for everyone's equipment and plenty of electrical outlets to power our gear. That's very important to us performers...IYKYK! 😉 They are working on reopening the kitchen soon. I've their food is amazing! 😋

As a local who lives just 15 minutes away and has been coming to Coupland since childhood, I can say without hesitation, the new owners saved this place. I’ve watched it change hands many times, and without this latest team stepping in, Coupland likely wouldn’t even be open to the public anymore. I understand some of the concerns people have shared in the negative reviews, but honestly, this is what it looks like when someone invests in preserving a Texas landmark AND makes it sustainable for the future. They didn’t take away the charm, they kept it alive. Opening night was packed, which is exactly what you’d expect for such a big comeback. The energy was amazing. The bathrooms finally got a much-needed upgrade (thank you!), and my only small suggestions would be to add purse hooks on the stall doors and maybe bring back the big bathroom mirror. I know it might sound silly, but I have so many photos in that mirror over the years, and it was one of the first things me and my friends noticed missing, saying, “awww, I wish that mirror was still here!” For anyone confused about the bar, it’s still there! The right-side bar was simply relocated to connect with the back bar, creating one long, efficient setup. Service was quick, the bartenders were friendly, and drinks were the same reasonable price (around $5–$7 a beer). The owners have struck the right balance: keeping Coupland’s historic soul intact while bringing in the updates and concerts that will keep it thriving. They’ve already proven they know how to build successful venues, just look at Haute Spot. Change is part of progress, and what matters most is that Coupland is alive again. I’m grateful to see it full of people, laughter, and Texas country music. Thank you for doing your best to preserve the charm while making the positive changes needed to keep Coupland alive for the long haul. I can’t wait for the upcoming dance nights and to keep making memories in a place that’s felt like home my entire life.

The recently renovated Coupland is amazing. It was opened up, more space, more bartenders and the bathrooms received a little facelift. They did retain the Coupland charm.

Great to see it's still going. Was always a special treat to go eat barbecue, and play pool upstairs as a kid. Now as an adult and living in Taylor it's still a treat. Hoping to see more great acts like Stoney LaRue on stage. That guy can bend some guitar strings. Show was awesome, and for a sold out show it wasn't that crowded.

Great atmosphere for listening to music and dancing. A classic Texas honky tonk? Service was very friendly. Well stocked bar. They have a limited menu available. Not the greatest but suitable. You're not here for the food! Definitely a nice venue to take in a musical act. One puzzler: Why do they have 11 cup holders for every 2 urinals? 1/7/2025 update: New owners have vastly improved the interior. Much nicer. Better seating, a longer bar, no more pool table. The stage is a bit higher. They even made the restrooms much better. Sadly the 11 cup holders per 2 urinals are gone. I never did figure out why that was a feature.

It was a fantastic venue for some Bob Schneider! This iconic dancehall was on my bucket list, and it didn't disappoint. AND, Bob gifted a spectacular show. It was my first time to see Bob too, so it was a great night all around!!

A dirt road leading up to the bridge and it's a nice bridge.

This place was a hidden gem until it got bought out by Haute Spot. Focusing on the positive, the staff they retained are some of the best and most welcoming people you'll meet. However, the structural changes post acquisition are not in your favor. Overnight they eliminated the side bar, doubled the price of drinks, and packed people in like American Airlines. "VIP" seating is so close together that you cannot sit without bumping into people, not that it matters because people can just stand in front of you. If you're a large person like me, it's miserable because you feel like you're constantly in the way. Their primary goal is ticket revenue, and customer experience/repeat customers clearly do not matter anymore. They have some awesome artists on the schedule, but understand what you are getting into when you buy that ticket.

The previous owner got the inn and dance hall back and are working to return it to it's former glory. It really is an iconic place.

Enjoyed a chicken fried street at the Inn. Was amazing food then walked in to the dancehall. Was excited to go to this older establishment. Music was great BUT it was a concert. Do they just have bands for dancing and not all concerts???? Majorly disappointed not having the ability to dance. So many people on the actual dance floor standing that you were lucky to have 6 couples dance while bumping into each other. Not sure if I'll ever go back due to this. Otherwise, if you didn't reserve a table before selling out there's like one'ish tables that's non reserved. Another disappointment. Dance hall is beautiful and could be a super fun place if you could actually sit and or dance.

For having such potential the current management is a disappointment. Restrooms stink and are not serviced during the evening. Crowd management is nonexistent; no organization of reserve seating, trash piles up during the evening, people carry drinks onto the danceFloor, people standing in the way on the danceFloor. I could go on but it's just sad... a great facility with a long distinguished history is non managed to the level deserving of an historic landmark.

This was my first time at the historic Coupland Dance Hall. The hall has 2 bars, each over 100 years old and with their own unique origin story. The lighting is fun and inviting, not so dim that you can't see well, but soft enough that you feel free to relax and have a good time. I didn't eat anything though there are bar snacks available. I never had to wait long to get another drink, and the bar staff was friendly. This is a good bar for a beer or a simple well drink, and all of the liquors are good quality. The bathrooms could use a little TLC, but are clean and serviceable. I went there to see the Darrin Morris Band perform, and included a clip of their performance. Enjoy.

We love the ambiance of this Dancehall! We have been for dancing and bingo. The owner is very friendly and ensures that everyone is always having a good time.

This place is just adorable. I would give them 5 stars if the bathroom didn't smell like sewage. On a plus side I can hold my breath for longer than I thought I was warned that it was rank and I was all "nahhh I have allergies it'll be fine" My allergies didn't cut it. They have a boot shine person though! Which is absolutely adorable. I have never been to a dance hall that had boot shining. I didn't get mine done but Matt and David's boots look great. It's definitely on my list of places to go back to so I'll be checking the calendar when I want to go dancing. This place is a little gem. And surprisingly easy to get to and from from Cedar Park. Dance floor wasn't so packed you are just crammed up next to people barely moving and just getting sweaty. And I just realized my boyfriend has all the photos so no photos from me

what a joke! Paid $34 a ticket for reserved seats so we could stare at peoples asses that paid GM. Couldn't even see the stage. Then the owner comes & starts telling the tables they have to let people sit at the tables that didn't pay for reserve. Couldn't get to the bar to get a drink-won't be back. Highly DO NOT recommend. Left before Josh Ward even came on

Plenty of sawdust. Acoustics were great. Not to loud. Plenty of dancers. Service was very good. The bar takes credit cards, not cash only. Plenty of free parking.

A group of friends and I went to Coupland's first "Got Talent". First of all the talent sang in a different room and only came out to sing a song or two on equipment that barely worked. The poor girl had a beautiful voice that no one could enjoy. Now let's mention the HORRID sewage smell coming from the ladies bathroom. It was so bad we had to use the men's. However you could smell it the moment you walked in the FRONT door. When we asked about it, the owner said it was due to the rain. Ma'am. My husband owns a plumbing company. Stop lying to your patrons and fix your plumbing! Drinks and beers $6-10 each? No wonder our large group were the only adults there and we left before 9. The topping on the cake, we left because the owner accused us of smoking marijuana. Not going to name names but we saw a couple of your employees in the parking lot during their shifts smoking. So.... You might want to address that. These new owners/renters are horrible. We will not be back and I can definitely see why we were the only people there. Oh, they also don't have a TABC license! And it's probably safe to assume the 18 year old bartender most likely isn't TABC certified or Food handler's certified either. So... good luck with that. Stop removing my reviews and start fixing your issues.

This past weekend, the wife and I came out early and ate at the restaurant, watched a show in the dancehall, and then stayed the night in the inn. Therefore, it is only right that I revise my old review on Yelp and give you readers a full three-pronged revision for nearly everything this place is... restaurant, dancehall, and inn. RESTAURANT: Strait up, I am a bit of a Texas BBQ snob, and I ate nothing else but their BBQ. So with that said, I ate every meat they had to offer and here are my ratings for each (out of 5 stars): Ribs - 3.5 stars, Brisket - 3 stars, Sausage - 3 stars, Pork (pulled) - 4.5 stars. I thought the sausage was below average, the ribs were merely okay (a little too charred), but worse of all, the brisket was not tender. Wife loved her sweet potato stuffed with the pulled-pork, which is not too surprising as the pork was the best of their meats. Take notice that I gave no 2 or 1 stars on the meat here - it was all passable by my high standards. Nevertheless, this place sits right between Snow and Mueller, so there is definitely more opportunity to be had here should the pit master decide to step up their BBQ game. But I digress, because for some reason there was a raisin in my coleslaw. Yes - a damn raisin. I am going to assume it just fell in there and was not put there on purpose by the slaw maker. The potato salad was really good, as were the beans. Moreover, last Friday night's table service was simply awesome! From what I observed, all of the restaurant's wait staff were so very unbelievably attentive and genuinely personable that I feel they should be greatly commended. Keep up the great work you're doing in this department. DANCEHALL: The first time I came out here a year ago (when I lost my quarter in the jukebox), we saw Dale Watson. Then last January, Shinyribs. This past Friday it was Bob Schneider. All great shows! Overall, this place is a true Texas experience and a solid five-star honkytonk - it is as real as it gets! But that damn jukebox. Stole my quarter. (see my first review below) INN: Have you ever stayed in a 108+ year old brothel-styled inn before? Me either, until here, last Friday night. In fact, I had not encountered any authentic brothel-styled inns that one could stay the night in before anywhere I've ever been. What is brothel-style, you ask? Well here, you walk upstairs into a large, plush, well-furnished parlor. Along the walls of this parlor are seven separate bedrooms. Way back in the day, this parlor would be chock-full of whores, and you could come up and pick one out to go screw in one of these seven rooms. Nowadays, they rent these bedrooms out every Friday and Saturday night, and you have to book them in advance by buying a room ticket through their website. From what I can tell, it is a first-come-first-serve situation when it comes to who stays in which room, meaning if you are first to arrive, you get full pick which of the seven rooms you will slumber in. There was only one other couple there when we stayed, but booking a room here means sharing the parlor common space - including showers, toilets, and kitchen - with up to 12 other people you may or may not know. Also, the parlor serves as a "green room" (or at least that is what Bob Schneider's bandmates told us when we discovered them up there hanging out before the show). You should know the floors are squeaky and walls thin - you can clearly hear what is being said in the parlor from each bedroom as well as what is being said (or done) in adjacent rooms. So keep in mind that any enthusiastic lovemaking will likely be heard by all inn occupants. When we woke up Saturday morning, we were expecting breakfast... but there was none. Though this inn is technically being run like a bed & breakfast, there is no actual breakfast being served. The entire place seemed deserted - not a soul around, both dancehall and restaurant locked up. As such, we quietly moseyed our way out so not to wake the other couple staying there and drove away. All in all, I hope no one bothers to read this updated review. There's a part of me that feels this place is too cool to share with others. So far it has proven to be the best place to catch live popular Texas acts because it has never been too overly crowded. However if word gets out, the coolness of this place will likely change, the place will get too crowded, and perhaps I may run into trouble booking a room in the future. These possibilities is what I fear most... Therefore, PLEASE! Pay no attention to this update and STAY AWAY from this place!

Pretty disappointed. We booked a room at the "BED AND BREAKFAST" and went the "dancehall" to dance for the evening for our anniversary. The opening band had a few songs to 2-step to, but the music that played while the bands switched was pop/rock style music. We asked if they could play country so we could dance and the staff stated the main band chooses the music and customers cannot request music during intermission. The main band went on pretty late, 10:00-10:30. They played rock/pop covers and a few originals, only 2-3 2-stepping songs. Customers were leaving the facility after 1-2 songs from the main band. We went up to the "bed and breakfast" and the one of the showers had a missing water knob, one shower had mud in it. All light fixtures in every room only had one working bulb, fans covered in dust. In the middle of the night a huge party had come into the "bed and breakfast" and was extremely loud. Eventually the people were asked to leave if they were not staying at the inn. The "continental breakfast" offered online wasn't to be found. The main kitchen was closed and the "bed and breakfast" online states to be in the main kitchen. I called twice to find someone to ask about breakfast and was called hours later to be told that they leave cereal in the kitchenette in the b&b and milk in the refrigerator.

Since our valentine's day plans didn't happen, we decided to head out for steaks at the Coupland Dance Hall for our V-day redo a week late. Our friends keep telling us to go out and try the food and we just hadn't ventured out that way. We were so happy we went! We loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious & the service was the best we have recieved anyplace in a long time. We have eaten good food many places, but the experience- service primarily- ruins the experience for us. Amber was our waitress, she was very informative when we told her that we had never been there. She was happy and friendly. I usually tell waitresses to bring a pitcher of water and leave it on the table, but my glass never went empty. Amber made sure we wanted for nothing, she recommended items, she thanked us for coming and invited back. The dinner was delicious, but the service made our night! Good job Amber, I wish there were more people who were kind & enjoyed their job like you do. We will be back!

Wowzers! What a cool place!! The dancehall is something you would see in a movie. Maybe because it's been used in several films. The Inn, restaurant, and dancehall have all been sold by the Worthy's at the end of June. Abbey Road is the new owner and she has some great things planned for this Texas Gem. We played a show here for Robynn Shayne and were able to see the ins and outs of the place. It definitely needs some work to help maintain it's charm, but also to keep it up and running. If you have ever purchased anything used and you intend to keep it as long as you can then you know it takes time and money. Transitions from the old to the new are always hard for people when it comes to businesses and sometimes you have hiccups that can make you ask, "Why are you trying to change anything?". All I can say is be patient and watch the magic happen. We sat down to dinner before the show and ordered our chicken fried steaks, chicken fried chicken, grilled chicken, and sides galore. Everything was very good right down to the baked beans sprinkled with bacon in a tiny caldron. Did I mention the bacon? We were able to get a look at the Inn and all of the rooms are really great. We are going to stay here next time we have a show. Abbey has some great plans for this place, but she also knows when something ain't broke don't fix it. With change sometimes there is staff change. Most of the staff has remained onboard. The sound system and the acoustics in the dancehall are really great!! Ron the Sound Engineer is one of the best we have worked with. All in all this place is great and we look forward to returning for business and pleasure. The fact that it's less than an hour from Austin is amaze balls!! Go check it out for yourselves. If you have any issues or suggestions just let Abbey or her staff know. I mean, how can you fix a problem if no one tells you when it happens, right? Rhetorical! of course you can't you silly rabbits. Tell em Mr. Smidgens sent ya. **WINK**

In the past, if you wanted one of the somewhat few tables in the dancehall, you should buy the meal before the show, because they let those people in first. Now, they are letting people who didn't buy a meal in at the same time they are serving the meal, so buying the meal literally means you get the worst seats to the show! Don't buy the meal if you really want to see the show! Especially if it's a popular show. You'll end up standing all night. Dumb change.

I've debated on writing this review since our last experience, I finally decided that it needed to be said. We drove an hour for the barbecue as it has traditionally been very good and we like the atmosphere. We went specifically for the 4 meat bbq meal and beans, my date being from the area and loving their ribs. We arrived at 8:00pm meeting friends to a nearly empty restaurant and were informed that the only thing left was sausage, a few serving of ribs, and two chicken fried steaks. They were also out of their "famous" bbq beans? We were told it was due to the Gary P Nunn concert (which we had planned to see as well) so we rolled with it ordering two orders of ribs and sausage. Another customer had a medical episode, so my date being an OR nurse, took them in the back and rendered medical attention. The situation turned a little serious and she had to help until EMS arrived. She was glad to have been able to help but found upon her return (and an hour wait for our meal) that they had given her order of ribs away. Facing 4lbs of sausage we canceled our order. Our waitress came back and said she could scrounge up a ribeye and baked potato. The steak was surprisingly good but she said the potato appeared to have been microwaved and passed on it. The excuse of the concert being the cause for running out of food at 8:00 didn't quite ring true when we went next door and found the hall at a quarter capacity at best. Still not sure why they gave her dinner away while she saved the life of their customer. Kinda expected the manager to come by and explain or at least say thank you. But I guess he was too busy hiding under his desk in an empty restaurant, I'd probably be pretty embarrassed as well but I wouldn't leave my poor wait staff to bear the brunt of it. I've since heard twice that they are under new ownership, I'd venture to guess that's the real root of the problem.

How this restaurant stays in business is a mystery. We arrived at 8 pm on Friday, July 19, for dinner followed by dancing to Asleep at the Wheel in the adjacent Dance Hall. I told the two women behind the restaurant counter that we had a party of two for dinner. I asked about the wait time. One of the women said she didn't know. Several other potential dinners went through the same routine and were given pagers. I asked for a pager and received one. We sat outside for 45 minutes. During that time, not a single person with a pager was seated. Most gave up and left. One of the potential dinners went back inside and was told that they were out of everything but fried chicken and potatoes. We finally wised up and left as well. Customer service are just some other words these folks use. They appear to be incapable of having a conversation with their potential clients. Even though the place has had pretty good reviews for years, something is badly broken. Caveat Emptor! if you decide to eat there, don't plan on being seated, much less having any food.

Not bad for a small town steak restaurant. I think they need some more advertising and marketing. They could get enough business from the locals to open for a Thursday dinner service. I live just a few miles from this place and don't like to eat there when the dancehall is packed on weekends.

Laid back easy and historically fun! Feel right at home on dance floor. Appetizers are delicious!!!!

Wow what an experience we placed our order at 7:30pm and at 9:30pm were provided a styrofoam container with a barbecue meal as a form of complementary services since our order never came out....I will acknowledge the BBQ was delicious & the sides tasty however the service was below average....more than 10 of our party of 35 left without the items they ordered & the feeling of sheer disappointment from the anticipated delight for what fell below the original real Hype! Mystery what happened to our order especially when the waitress came 3 different times in the hour and a half noting your food will be out next, soon, shortly, in a bit, just a few more minutes...no it will be 10 more minutes, no it was lost by the kitchen, oh we can place it in a to-go container but we ordered a nice sit down with the group Dinner the food I know would have been good...it appeared that the music got all of the attention!

Great atmosphere and spacious dance floor. Seeing locale artist live and then also being able to dance!! It's a favorite of mine

Coupland Dance Hall never disappoints! We started in the restaurant and enjoyed a great steak, cooked just as I requested, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Got over into the dancehall and waitresses did an amazing job of keeping up with the bar traffic and very friendly. I've been to Coupland through different shows, busy and not busy, and the staff always greets everyone with a smile and busts their rumps staying on top of the orders. Thanks for keeping small town country bars alive. I will continue to support you and spread my experience to all I know.

We came to the Kevin Fowler show for NYE. We arrived shortly after the doors opened because we wanted to make sure to get seats. We had several choices at that time, and when we asked a staff member if a particular section was reserved, they said no, so we sat there. Two hours later, after the place has filled up and the opening act was taking the stage, we were told that our section was reserved- no signage, no one saying anything prior. Another couple in the section had driven in from Kansas City to see the show and were religated to holding up the wall, when they too had arrived early to get seats. If the section is "always reserved", then the staff should know this when asked. Also, there were "reserved" signs in other locations, so why did this area not get marked as such? Got fed a BS line about if we "talk near the stage it would be picked up in the microphones." Yet the obnoxious group that was placed in our seats were incredibly loud. Not a very well run establiment and they don't seem to care about railroading their customers to accommodate their buddies. What happened to the hospitality that use to be a given at this establishment? Side note.... They have trouble keeping enough paper products in the bathrooms

First... I love the charm and the quality of performers. Have been a few times and we always have a blast the only down fall and concern I have is everytime I have been there is MANY issues to the bathrooms. Last night we were some of the first patroness in and the staff never prepped the bathrooms. Paper towels were not in holders and several stalls had NO toliet paper and some toilets were full and not flushed...no reason for this with in minutes of opening the doors. I will be back but maybe I will bring a big bag to bring my own towels and toliet paper... since they havent figured that it is needed

The cowboys are coming! Cowgirls too! Cowboy boots, Cowboy hats, jeans and western shirts everywhere, cowboy country at its best. Great county music and dancing for all that like that style on the weekends and on Thursday night. The restaurant hours are 5:30pm to 9pm on Thursday and 5:30pm to 10:00pm on Friday and Saturday. Dancehall hours end at 11pm, 12am, and 1am respectively. It has the whole package a bed and breakfast as well, never tried the bed and breakfast though. Since I am not a cowboy and have no cowboy hat or cowboy boots I can stand out in my jeans and tennis shoes but no one cares. We have gone here basically to eat BBQ at least half a dozen times in the last five years or so. We like it and that is why we go back from time to time. I like the onion rings and baked potato. The wife likes the fried okra basket. I don't like okra it is kind of hairy looking to me and I don't like the taste as well but I never did so they maybe good for those that like okra. As for BBQ they have brisket, sausage, pork ribs, chicken you can indulge in. They do have an all you can eat platter for $17 per person. They do have traditional sides potato salad, slaw, baked beans and toast. Other sides are available as well. Yep, they have steaks and chicken fried steak as well. I have never tried eating anything but the BBQ. I and the wife and our friends have always liked the BBQ very much. We always eat too much and never go away hungry. It's a bit of a drive for dinner form Austin but try it if you like BBQ. If you want a scenic drive get out your map and take only back roads and stay off the main roads, it's a lot of fun. Would I go back? Yes and soon!

Are dinner at the Restaurant for the first time ever and Amber was our waitress. She made the whole experience amazing. As busy as she was, she never forgot about us and made sure that we were take care of. We never had to ask for anything and she made us feel like we were her only customers We will definitely eat here again because of her fantastic service and her personable demeanor.

It's been years since I've had a meal at Old Coupland Inn. We had an enjoyable evening eating some brisket stuffed jalapeño poppers, home made tender sirloin chicken fried steaks, grilled shrimp and all the amazing sides. The staff was professional and attentive. Then there was some real live Texas dance hall music with Kenny Orts. All in all... Old Coupland Inn is a true destination for great food and live music.

This is a true down home Texas honky tonk that will always hold a special place in my heart. I learned to two step here, It's where I met my husband, it's where our friends group cemented a 10 year friendship. The memories made here will never be fogotten. If you want a guinuinly good country bar night out, this is the place for you!

We have been regular customers of Coupland Inn for over a decade and were never disappointed until tonight. The new menu is an unfortunate decision. Our meals were substandard and costly. A cheeseburger with no cheese for example. The service is wonderful, but, is not reflective of their food or menu. We will think twice before going back.

I came with my husband and daughter for teen night. When we walked in, instead of being warmly greated, we were scolded by the "teen bouncer", some middle aged lady collecting the cover for teen night. She yelled at my husband and I that we weren't allowed on this side of the venue, that it was teens only....obviously...give us a moment to hug our daughter and say goodbye. She yelled at my daughter for her cover charge, yelled at her because she gave a $20 bill and not exact change, yelled at her for folding her bill, yelled at her to put her hands on the counter so she could mark them. She was incredibly rude and unprofessional. Once we parted ways my husband and I ordered dinner. The bbq was dry and overcooked. Our whole experience was very disappointing. A 50 minute drive from south Austin for this. We won't be coming back.

This place sucks. After my brother(who is 20) and I brought a friend in for her birthday, we left almost immediately. The female bartender treated me and friend like we were some sort of skanks, and kept eyeballing us with the cash register girl. They seemed to think we were stealing drinks for my underage brother, because our second round we watched her pretend to pour a shot into our drinks but did not at all! What a complete waste of money. If you're looking for a fun family owned business with great staff and welcoming atmosphere- keep driving.

Great Texas dance hall! Family style with a great atmosphere. Certainly not a pickup joint or meat market. We took our 17 year old daughter once, and a young cowboy approached my husband, and politely asked "Sir, do you mind if I ask your daughter to dance?" It's THAT kind of place. The food in the restaurant is mostly heavy, fried and comfort foods. Not the best for just before dancing, but this IS Texas, so you can't call it a Texas place without chicken fried steak and potatoes. The owners have always been on the premises anytime we've been. Very friendly and personable and add an extra flair to the 'family feel' to the place. Beer in the dance hall is a little pricey, but that might be the reason there's never a fight on the dance floor or the girls aren't dancing trashy. Just go. Make reservations if you have a large crowd in your party....but go. If you're a real Texan, you'll appreciate it. If you're not, you'll understand why the rest of us are.

Its pretty awful that on new years eve they are out of toilet paper and paper towels at 10pm. Out of Corona at 9:30 at both bars. You pay for party favors but only receive them if you are at a table. It's a great place, but you should get what you pay for and the older blonde women at the front door acts like she hates her job.

Ate lunch in restaurant. Good food but very limited menu at lunch. Dinner menu looks outstanding so will be back to try. Be nice if they had dancehall open with some music playing during day as another part of experience of this beautiful old treasure.

Wow!!! What a great experience. I had the rib eye and it was the best I have ever had. Wife and grandpa had the chicken fried steaks and loved them. The baked beans are incredible. Definitely worth a trip to the country.

Saw the Six Sanchez Band they opened for The Jake Ward Band. The Six Sanchez Band was great. Jake Ward songs all seemed to sound the same. First time to see and hear either of these groups. The dance hall and bar Is non smoking which is a plus. Nice smoking area out front...

Great service, delicious food, including the BBQ, steaks and salads. We tried almost all the sides and they were on point. They were out of cobbler, unfortunately, but the brownie was great! Post-dinner show was fun, as well. Full bar and lots of various areas for groups of all sizes.

This is my 3rd or 4th time here at Coupland, they have great bands, great music, and a nice large dance floor. The restaurant staff and bar staff are very friendly, and their beer is always ice cold. The 2 star review is for their Inn. We arrived around 7 pm yesterday, had a rsvp for the Inn, dance hall (includes breakfast). I'm not sure if the AC was broken, staff told us someone forgot to turn it on. Our room didn't cool off until about 4:30 am, it was miserable. This is Texas, and it's hot as hell here in the summer. There's nothing nearby so you are just stuck here for the night. I'd come back for the music, but this is the last time I'll be staying the night in their Inn.

My first time here and I had a great time. Fun crowd and great music. Stayed upstairs and the room was very comfortable. Be warned that a freight train comes by at 4am blowin it's horn VERY close to the building and it can be startling, however that's no fault of the business and if anything it adds to the ambiance of the place. I also had dinner downstairs and was pleasantly surprised how good the bbq was. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

I've been here multiple times over the past 4 years and have always had a positive experience. Unfortunately, tonight was not one of them. They changed the menu last minute and didn't change it on their website or inform their loyal customers. It was shorter and more expensive. BOH staff didn't know whether the bbq sauce was gluten free which is alarming considering, they are the ones making it. I gabe celiac and used to be able to have their salmon with no problem. Tonight I got a disappointing side of mashed potatoes. My husband got a burger that was supposed to be cooked medium, with cheese on a brioche bun. It came out on thick wheat toast, no cheese and well done. My father in law ordered the coupland salad with smoked turkey. It was $15 for a sad plate of salad and some barely chopped meat. His wife ordered the fried chicken which was way over done and dry. To add insult to injury I stepped in gum that was under our table. The only saving grace is the friendly staff. I will not being going back.

Never eaten here but I love the dance hall! Very cute and laid back dance hall that welcomes all ages.

My family went there on Easter Sunday. Worst mistake of my life. I had breakfast and it was disgusting!!! They say hash browns and they were cubed potatoes. It's like they used left over baked potatoes. Not good at all. They don't know how to fry an egg. They salt and peppered my eggs!!! I've never had a cook do that, never! The sausage was over cooked and dry. The sausage gravy was watery and tasted nothing like sausage gravy. The worst food I've everything had in my life. I would never eat there again. The portion of "hash browns" was skimpy. All this for the price of $8.95!!!

I love this place so much. It's great for the whole family and we always have so much fun. Only downfall is it gets really hot in there! Oh well... TOTALLY worth it!!

Went there with my husband and friends recently to see the Bellamy Brothers. The Dancehall itself has not changed much in over 30 years. After calling and emailing to check on reserving tables, I was told they do NOT reserve tables. Per email AND telephone conversation I was told seating was first come, first serve ONLY. We got there about 6:30 (doors opened @ 7), stood in line about 20 min (not bad wait time). However, upon entering the hall....there was only a small area of unoccupied tables. When we seated ourselves (feeling fortunate to have secured seating), we were told by a patron that they had RESERVED this whole area!!!! I requested a confirmation from staff, since we were told NO RESERVATIONS. Sure enough, with only the explanation that that area was indeed reserved, we spent the rest of the evening STANDING. I would have given this place 5 stars if there had been an explanation as to the "exception" to the NO RESERVED tables.

Wooden floors, friendly wait staff and OH MY GOD the food. We went expecting a pat green concert and some local flavor and we ended up eating some of the best food ever. The cobbler, fried pickles, chicken, sirloin, garlic mashers, even the salad was amazing. I dont know how they do it. I think its coupland magical fairy dust. We ate our fill and then enjoyed a fantastic night with Pat Green (who was frankly arrogant and lackluster, making everyone else sing his songs), cheap shoe shinin' and cold cold lone stars. Makes you want to beat your chest, chug the beer and see who will join in a rousing round of Deep in the Heart of Texas

Roping a Cowboy!!!!!!!! I recently went here again for about the 4th time. It wasn't as good as the first few times and I think it is management change. I get the NY strip and it is a lot of meat but it wasn't cooked to my asking so I had to send it back. It came back OK and one piece was good and the other was a little chewy. My husband got the "All you can Eat Catfish" for 11.99 and he loved it. My daughter had the Chicken Fried Steak and that sucker was bigger than the darn plate so she only ate 1/2 of it. I tried hers and I liked it much better than my steak and wished I had gotten that. Next time I will. Now...the best part for this here Yankee is the atmosphere and scenery. I feel like I stepped into the wild west. There are so many cowboy hats and boots running around I feel like I am in a 1800's. I like to bring other "Yankees" there just for the experience. Ya know, everyone thinks Texans all own a horse,hat and boots so when you step into this place you feel like you walked into those assumptions. Dinner is good. They have bands and the dance hall can get pretty hopping at times so what ever mood your in ...just for dinner or dinner and dancing..or dinner, dancing and roping a cowboy this place fits all those moods!!!!

What a great place. Such an icon of Texas, and it feels just like it should. I love the wooden dance floors, the crappy light system, horrible restroom, and great ambiance. We went and slapped our boots down to the rhythm and had a great night dancing and drinking the night away. I will make one complaint, what is the deal with having to have a $50 tab to be able to pay with credit card. First, that is against you card holders agreement you sign with credit card companies, and more importantly it is kind of a crappy move. Whatever, just remember to get cash before going.

Great food (ribeye was AWESOME). Fun atmosphere. What a little gem.

Took a party of 9 to the restaurant and dance last Saturday night 9/28/19. Pre-paid $84 per couple for steak dinner and dance. Dinner was okay, steak plentiful of fat. Wine by Sutter, plastic bottles for $6. Corona $5. Service was excellent. After dinner went to the dance hall. Almost no place to sit for us prepaid customers. Nice that they are drawing a good crowd, but bad if you have dinner and want to find seating. Located an old couch and some stools to gather up our group some seating, only to learn that the band did not start until 10:30 pm! Meanwhile, had to endure some not-so-good music during the 8:30 to 10:30 waiting period, including at one point a lone picker who was awful. This is going on while the place is packed and ready to rock. But waiting it was. We could not understand why the main band had to start SO late and we had to listen to the opening act for SO long. Was disappointed to see the September (previous) upcoming shows listed on the easel. Lady on the counter said I had to search the next week and months' shows on the website. Seems having the upcoming, not previous shows visible would be of more benefit. Sorry to see owner Abby cooking the kitchen and not out greeting customers. Hope things smooth out.

Clarification: Restarant gets 1 star, or 0 stars, if that were possible. Dancehall gets 4 stars (bathrooms could use improvement, since they smelled like cat urine.) I wish I could review the restaurant separately from the Dancehall. Since I can't, please read the entire review! First, and let this be a warning: Eat before you go! Do NOT eat at the restaurant. Having been forewarned by numerous reviewers, I avoided the barbecue and opted for what I thought would be a seemingly safe cheeseburger, served with guacamole and pico de gallo. With fries? Sure. DON'T DO IT! The hamburger arrived without the fries at first. When they did arrive, they were nasty: cold and limp. The burger tasted as if it had been cooked ahead and warmed over. You know that warmed over taste. You don't want to think about it, because by thinking about it, you'll relive it... and that is something you don't want to do. But.... there it is, folks. Thank goodness for the pico, and the chipotle mayo (best food item I tasted by far.) My friend ordered the mesquite-grilled chicken breast, served with rice and grilled zucchini. Such a tortured chicken breast you never did see! Almost totally black outside, grizzled and dry... I shared my chipotle mayo and guacamole with her so she could swallow it. Very skimpy portions on her meal, by the way. The "loaf of bread" served with your meal is nothing more than a loaf of white belly waddin'.... though the honey butter makes it palatable enough. And of course, you eat it because you're still hungry thanks to the below marginal food. So there. That being said... The Dancehal is a hoot. With our cover to the show came a free drink. I'd suggest sticking with the beer, because the well drinks were... well drinks. But the place is fun, and the dance floor is just dandy, and the music was great, and the people are warm and fun to watch. All in all, a good evening. But... eat before you go. You have been warned.

Every time I go to Coupland it is a wonderful time. Looking forward to going back November 1st.
