Hops & Thyme

The food was excellent! Do NOT skip the fried cornbread appetizer—it’s a MUST! The house-made honey butter paired with the fried cornbread is pure genius. The flavors were incredible, and I’m obsessed with that appetizer. The Asian Chicken Salad was delicious and full of flavor, and the Hot Honey Grilled Chicken Sandwich totally hit the spot. I prefer my fries a little crispier, but they were decent. The service was great, and the ambiance was casual. They also have outdoor seating on the patio.

I love this place. I am a creature of habit and when I find a restaurant with good food, a large selection of tap beer and amazing customer service, I rarely venture out from there. The owner (Jackie) has several businesses and she knows what she is doing. The food offerings are the basic pub fair to the complex and the cooks/chefs they have are top notch. Nothing is bad here. They have $1 wings during football (perfectly cooked, many flavors and are large) and $5 smash burger plates on Tuesday. There is a brunch on Sundays where you can get all your breakfast flavors. The people working there…..Mel, Natalie and Shane and others are the sweetest people. I had only gone there once and when a server named Mel saw me the next time she addressed me by name and without me asking brought the beer she remembered I liked. Where do you get service like this these days? No where! I highly recommend this establishment.

I had the most rip-off meal. I ordered a portobello sandwich. The sandwich came with 3 little pieces of finely chopped portobello mushrooms on each side. It’s not how portobello mushroom sandwiches are done! The whole thing is light as feather. I was also charged $3 for substitution, which the waiter didn’t even tell me. So I paid $19 for this meal that has about 1.5 little mushroom cloves in it. My husband ordered a mocktail that was served in a shot glass and topped with ice, which costs $8. Won’t be back!

Stopped by for a quick bite and enjoyed an awesome old fashioned and a delicious steak sandwich with fries. We were visiting friends and exploring - I had some time and needed to grab a bite. I’d been here in the past - and it’s always been solid. I highly recommend this local eatery to locals and visitors!!

My husband and I went in today based on the good reviews, that was a mistake. The appetizer of fried cornbread was closer to fried croutons (we didn't finish) and the wings had no flavor. I originally wanted the shrimp chimmichuri but they didn't have the spinach to put in the pasta. The waiter we had informed me that without it the pasta wouldn't taste good. I said ok so I'll take the steak chimmichuri; y'all the steak was rubber and missing the chimmichuri. All, I could eat was the arugula and fries. Now mind you that was $29.00 for the steak alone and I left it there. The waiter didn't offer any type of compensation and didn't seem to really know how to host for a very dissatisfied customer. My husband ordered the smash burger and that had enough grilled onions piled on that he had to pull them off. The fries had no seasoning. The best thing they had was the beer my husband ordered. I should have known to leave when the Arnold Palmer tasting bad. Hopefully management reads these reviews and fixes the issue. P.S. the hostess was nice

Love going for their $5 burger Tuesday deal. The burgers are well seasoned and cooked to perfection. 😋 The staff are always friendly and fast. Would like to go on their Music Bingo nights soon!

A friend and I recently had a fantastic lunch at Hops & Thyme. We chose a spot on the beautiful patio, enjoying the fresh air under some shade trees. Everything about the experience was top-notch! The entire restaurant was clean and inviting, with a great overall vibe. Prices are fair for the quality and portion size – my salad was around $16. The food came out super fast, which was great considering we were hungry. My classic wedge salad with grilled chicken was delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and their blue cheese dressing was really fresh. My friend said his tacos were also super good! It's not the most keto-friendly menu, but for those of us eating low carb, they do have options and are super accommodating with any dietary needs. Big plus! Our waitress, Ryn, deserves a shoutout! She was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. She checked in with us frequently, never let our water cups run low, and was so sweet and helpful in answering all of my many questions. Highly recommend Hops & Thyme for a delicious meal and fantastic service! Sorry about the super fast videos 😂

Had a great time out on the patio, it was a bit hot and we asked for the fans to be turned on a couple of times and when we did the misters made it feel like we were in The Rainforest Cafè, we didn’t know that was going to happen so it took us by surprise! We laughed it off and covered our plates when the fan would throw a bunch of mist our way. Other than that, the food is FANTASTIC, but they never filled up our water cups and like I said it was pretty warm outside and we were there for about 2 hours. We will definitely be back and would still recommend to friends and family. Gorgeous area and friendly staff.

Hop & Thyme never disappoints. I was seated outside on a chilly evening, and even though all the heat lamps were on, the climate was absolutely perfect--cool, comfortable, and really enjoyable. Sitting outside felt cozy rather than cold, which made the experience even better. I ordered a beer, the chicken wings, and the schnitzel (a German dish), and everything was outstanding. The chicken wings are one of my absolute favorites here. The seasoning is perfect--not salty at all--just incredibly flavorful. They're juicy, tender, and honestly melt in your mouth. Truly excellent wings. The schnitzel was fantastic--fried perfectly, crisp on the outside and tender inside. The mashed potatoes were a standout as well, with a delicious roasted garlic flavor that really elevated the dish. The vegetables were cooked beautifully and rounded out the meal perfectly. This is easily a five-star experience for me. I eat here whenever I'm in town or nearby, and I absolutely love this restaurant. Clearly, I'm not alone--many people in the neighborhood love it too. I highly recommend Hop & Thyme for great food, a wonderful atmosphere, and plenty of parking. Enjoy!!

I am picky when it comes to one's to burgers and honestly not really the burger type of person. I do like the smash burger here and the Tuesday $5 special is a great deal ! The people there are friends.y and nice . It has a cute outdoor patio and a nice vibe !

Great service. Like meeting up here with my friend and her husband. We come Wednesday night for their trivia. Food has always been really great. Like their cocktails. Patio is very large. We normally play trivia outside, but I guess with the humidity we had, they decided to do it inside. Great time, great food, great service

I love Hops and Thyme! The food is delicious, the service is great and it's in a cute shopping area. I've had the beet and burrata salad twice and love it, the wings are probably the best I've had in the Austin area. The wagu burger is spectacular! We keep meaning to go back on a Tuesday when it's only $5! (Seriously that's an insane deal). If you're a beer lover this is your place! The entire wall is nothing but beer on tap! If you have a taste for something I would be willing to bet they have it!

Came in today for lunch and did not have a positive experience. First of all it looked run down and in need of some cleaning. So many booths were torn. We ordered 4 waters to start and three out of four had black and green mold floating in them. We asked for bottled water. Then, I ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was almost non-existent. My kids chicken strips were tiny skinny pieces that were so scrawny. They had a side of fruit which many grapes had straight up mold on them. My other toddler got a grilled cheese which he seemed to like and my husband enjoyed the steak sandwich, it was over $70 for these entrees and water. Kind of crazy for what we got and no discount on the non chicken sandwich. A little disappointed because we really looked forward to trying this place.

The food was excellent! Do NOT skip the fried cornbread appetizer--it's a MUST! The house-made honey butter paired with the fried cornbread is pure genius. The flavors were incredible, and I'm obsessed with that appetizer. The Asian Chicken Salad was delicious and full of flavor, and the Hot Honey Grilled Chicken Sandwich totally hit the spot. I prefer my fries a little crispier, but they were decent. The service was great, and the ambiance was casual. They also have outdoor seating on the patio.

Still thriving! Very happy to have H&T in the Lake Travis area. Still a great space, nice beer selection, lovely patio (live music occasionally). Service has improved over the years. On my most recent visits, the staff has been new highers. Very cordial and eager to learn. :D The menu has expanded over time. Their bar bites...wings, pretzels, burgers, crispy brussel sprouts, etc...are always spot on. When they try to execute more elevated dishes, they can be a tad disappointing (esp for the $$). So go for the brew, apps, atmosphere, and hopefully some tunes. My personal suggestion anyway. Cheers!

Great food, good vibes. Will visit again for sure. It doesn't look like much from the outside; or it may look like just beer.. but they have a great menu and live music too

We went for happy hour and the buffalo wings were easily in the top 5 wings I've ever had! The lemon pepper wings were good too. Service was good, and the atmosphere was nice, comfortable and chill. I hung out with friends there, which made it really enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Food 0/5. Absolutely just plain gross. Wine list by the glass limited. Grungy dirty and just outdated. Happy hour food choices very limited and again or choices.

New owners and delicious new menu! Big fan now! Smash burgers and fries were perfection. Staff was super friendly. Looking forward to trying some of the snacks and appetizers soon, like pretzels and dip!

Such a bummer. This place used to be so much better. We were the only ones in around lunch time and now I know why. Food is subpar at best and the wait staff is more interested in ponying up at the bar talking with each other and vaping than checking in on guests. I would maybe deal with it if the food was fantastic but it's disgusting. This place used to be so much better! Won't be going back :(

Food A+ -- We had fried pickles for appetizers. Lemonade and Orange Fanta to drink. Husband got roast beef. I got half Italian, half house salad with balsamic. Delicious! Service A+ -- Server was so friendly and accomodating. Ambiance A+ -- Good music, lots of seating typesand choices.

Terrible experience. Unprofessional bartender, poor service, and management that clearly doesn't care about running a proper establishment. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Go on Tuesday for half price burgers. Get a wine or beer and a side. Great combinations!

Food was great, waiter was attentive. They have a nice list of beers on tap. We had our dogs with us and they let us sit on the patio and even brought the dogs some water. Great place!

Interesting experience tonight: Crusty young bartender is not here, always a toss up on how much vaping she has done and what level of service you receive, a smile or frown, but today a new bartender, with all the bar skill, and an even keel attitude that makes you want to come back. The dry rub wings are always the best and caprese salad cools off the spice! Unfortunately, the bartender has been trained by the young crusty bartender who could never understand eye contact matters, small talk matters while a customer calculates their tip, and how a sour experience reduces their tip. But I have hope the new bartender will learn from the other's trial and tribulations. Good service matters.

We walked in here to grab a cocktail and appetizer before a Gala and it was a great atmosphere with the Brussel sprouts were great. They had live music which was a plus, but we were one of the first high top tables and it was quite loud. I would recommend sitting further back :) Definitely going back though!

No bueno! Sorry but we ate here recently for the first time and the food doesn't even seem fresh(?) it came out almost immediately too and cold and bland/tasteless. Also, the patio is a complete MESS. Beer kegs all around trying to be inconspicuously hidden but no...Tables are extremely wobbly. And the bench seat upholstery for booths are tattered/torn. The owners MUST understand that visual impressions matter, right? We should have known better, because all the regular drunks were at the bar but for Sunday Brunch, hardly anyone there. Especially so since the weather is now cooling. My advice? Like Gordon Ramsay, FIRE your head of kitchen OR, if that just happens to be you, the owner... fire yourself. Sell the business or REALLY reflect if your heart is into this. This location has so much SQUANDERED potential and there isn't much real competition in the Lakeway area to begin with. Sorry, but I post mostly positive reviews, but it's obvious this restaurant is -CURRENTLY- a big loser. I really hope you can turn it around!! Really do.

Service was fine The food is terrible. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and I think they fried it for half a day. You can tell by the color of the chicken in the sandwich that they over fried it but didn't care and served it anyway. That's very disappointing. The chicken wings that were served were again over fried and inedible. In general, the chefs are not preparing food well. The servers are great though.

I've enjoyed Hops & Thyme in the past. It's a great, unpretentious place to watch a football game, eat wings, and drink beer. The cocktails are nice. Big outdoor patio, and great location. This weekend we took a friend here for lunch and while the service was attentive and the atmosphere just fine, the food was universally off. I ordered the grilled caesar salad with added fried chicken. The greens were a bit wilty, the pretzel croutons well beyond stale, and the chicken hard to get down -- chewy and rubbery, as if it had been freezer burned and someone just said to fire it up anyway. My wife's Asian chicken salad was lackluster, with the chicken (not fried) having a more spongy, equally off texture... again, quite concerning her that it was, at best, merely old. I'm happy to go back to H&T for another meal sometime -- and some beers -- but I'll be sticking with the brats, wings, and fries on the next visit. Can't write enough about the great, friendly service, though.

Food was not great. Fries were so overly seasoned that I couldn't eat them. But the worst part was the fruit flies everywhere. I suspect the beer drains are filthy and the kitchen probably isn't much better. Avoid.

Food, service and drinks were great. I'll definitely be back soon. Our server was friendly and helpful.

Food, service, bar, cocktails and bourbon selection as well as live music all recommend Hops and Thyme!

Do NOT eat here. New management hasn't helped. The kitchen should be embarrassed by letting out this product. Brown. wilted lettuce, swimming in a pool of what was suppose to be a Caesar dressing. What's more when I called to complain to request a refund the hostess assured us she would take care of it. However, not 5 minutes later the manager called and said they couldn't refund the price of the meal. She stated that I needed to go through the delivery service. I responded that I used the service represented on their website and further they had "prepared" the food. To which she responded that she was sorry but I would have to take it up with the delivery service. I won't return and would urge anyone to avoid this "restaurant."

First time here. I said to my husband this place would be great for "Bar Rescue" with Jon Taffer. There was a staffer at the back table vaping. During the course of our meal about 4-5 people took shots behind the bar. I believe the AC was out, which is horrible in the summer in Texas. I ordered a caesar salad and like many reviews it was half of a wilted romaine and rubbery chicken. The worst salad I've ever had. When I told the waitress about it she nicely said she could swap it out. Because the kitchen is in the restaurant and my chair was facing it, I could see as she took it back that about 8 staffers all turned to look at me at the same time making me extremely uncomfortable. Finally, the card reader was programmed to leave a 30% tip when we paid the bill. All these issues have left me with the decision not to revisit this establishment.

Big shout out to Kelsey. Although we had some issues with door dash today;; but at Hops and Thyme, we had a rockstar. Thanks so much and congrats on such a great employee.

the 1 star reviews are CRAZY and I feel like they don't know what they're talkin' about. We came here for brunch and although it was a little busy we were seated super fast and given waters 2 seconds later. We ordered the Steak & Eggs and the BLT. Our food took about 6-8 minutes and everything was so good! We came in with a 5 month old baby and the timing on everything from greeting to getting our order was perfect. Super nice staff, super fun vibe, idk where these other yelpers went but we had a great time :-)

I enjoyed this place! The outdoor patio was really nice despite it being so windy outside. The food was also very good including the fries. The BLT sandwich was delicious but not spicy. I enjoyed the cocktails and my friend really liked this place too. I will return

By far the best food in Lakeway, Bee Caves, Austin. The Burgers are insane, they have steak and fish as well. Best Crab stuffed Avocado ever! Great service, great time. Big Dan is a Big Fan!

I only had the brussel sprouts which were really good. They have many other appetizers along with entries that sounded great! The drinks were pretty good but a bit on the pricey side. Anywhere from $11-13 for one cocktail. They have indoor dining and outdoor patio which you can choose from. They also had a performer singing for a couple hours when I was there (Friday night) and was very enjoyable. The service was great! I had someone checking up on me every now and then and food and drinks came out fairly quick!

Unbelievable the owner/manager vapes during working hours!! Service stinks! Owner turned closed sign on us 50min prior to closing time as we walked in!

You can bring your dogs and sit outside in comfort. Water misting system is great! Food is solid.

Will have to say I'm sad to leave this review. I LOVE the ambiance! They have a great outdoor patio! Could have an awesome outdoor bar too... service is horrible!! Food comes out late, and wrong... sometimes cold. Wish they could fix that because it's a really Cool spot. I've been there 4 times and each time, The food and service were the same. :(

This place might be alright if all you want is to come sit on the patio on a nice night and have a drink, but the food is not good. Before ordering I asked our waitress about several items on the menu and she shrugged and said "it's okay" or "it's not my favorite" about several things. Additionally, they had loud music on the patio that was super inappropriate for children - using the f word multiple times and other bad language. We were there with our child before 6pm, so that didn't seem appropriate for a restaurant. All that said, we will not be returning.

Very nice and lay back restaurant great service order the crab stuff avocado and some drink's they were absolutely amazing food was great as well. Overall great experience they were consistent with the taste of the drinks and food!!

What an Amazing Place !! My husband and I dropped in for dinner after seeing 'Top Gun, Maverick' (Great Movie BTW) and had a Wonderful 'Thyme' !! The resturant has Outside Dining and Plenty of room for large parties. We were lucky to be entertained by Live Music while we enjoyed our meal and a Great Bottle of Wine. Our waiter, Shea, was very attentive and assisted with our every need. We were full from our Delicious Meals (fish and chips (the Best Cod!) and Fish tacos (delicious Mahi Mahi) but just had to try their Crème Brûlée Cheescake ! OMG we're so glad we did ! I've never tasted something so Extraordinary and Delicious. This resturant has an Amazing Chef with a Unique Spin on cooking and presentation. The owner, which we were honored to meet, is friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the Restaurant Business. We are all so Lucky to have such a Great Place here in Lakeway. You have to drop in and enjoy their food, wine, dessert or their Huge Selection of Ale's and Beers !

This place is gone through various owners, but the set up currently is great. The schnitzel is a must try and the burgers are great. Didn't try and of there drinks but enjoyed the wine. It has plenty of outdoor seating as well!

With so few options available in the area, I really want this place to survive. Unfortunately with the new menu, its not great. I understand wanting to streamline and simplify, but its not working. No one wants apples with their sausage. Given there are zero sports bars in the area, I would try that route. Work on putting out some really good bar food, add some TVs, cheer up the waitstaff and work on creating a more inviting environment that people will spend multiple hours in. Clean up the play area off the back deck and the families, sports teams, etc would flood in.

New Owners! Great food, salmon, chicken, best smash burgers in the city! Fun attentive staff, owners, and atmosphere. Live music at least 3 days a week. Great deck for outdoor seating. Highly recommend as a great time.

I really liked this place. We came here around 4pm on a weekday and it was pretty empty. Since it was a lovely Spring Day we opted to eat outside. We ordered the brussels sprouts and the cornbread bites to split - I gotta admit - I was not thrilled with the cornbread bites decision - BUT, they were mighty might fine and I would get them every single time. My man and I split the Asian chopped salad (fine) and the pasta carbonara (also fine - but not "authentic"). I wish had taken the local gal's recommendation of the black rice dish and added an egg, I had a taste and it was not only unique but delicious. Warning - the bathrooms are FREEZING cold - probably A/C'd to 55 degrees.

This was my first visit. They have a really nice patio where we could enjoy the sunset with social distancing. Service was excellent. They have a very complete beer list which included a local breweries. I had a burger which was good, but not exceptional. We had a really good time and we plan to come back.

Have been here 3 times and one of the best restaurants around. Great food, fast/friendly service, cool atmosphere and vibe.

We were looking for a lunch place with patio open close by and this came up. We went there and we're amazed to see how big is their patio. Plus it was very nice and clean which is a plus. We were greeted nicely and made to sit at their patio table in next few minutes. Our server was very good as the water came out fast and after placing drinks order it came out quick too. For food we ordered brussel sprouts and fried cornbread as appetizers. Brussel sprouts were usual but corn break was too sweet than usual. Than we had aglio Olio pasta without chicken and it came out okay. Though I liked their chicken pesto club. All in all, it's a nice place to have drinks with big outdoor patio, good service and decent food.

I've been eyeing this place for well over a year and finally had the opportunity to visit. It's a solid 4 1/2 stars. I'm surprised by the low rated reviews, as we didn't experience anything negative. I met a friend for a Saturday afternoon. We walked in and immediately noticed that the place was essentially bare. There was a single table of six enjoying lunch and a party of two at the bar, so seating wasn't an issue. We opted for the bar, which gave us the ability to scan the drink options. The inventory of whiskey, was decently sized and very impressive from a selection basis. As a bar with food, the menu includes some very interesting choices. However, I was leaning more toward a burger and their 44 Farms Cheeseburger was calling my name. The kitchen is up front and personal. The guys slinging the food, definitely know what they're doing. I ordered mine medium rare and that it was. As we relaxed, we did notice the large outdoor patio. If it wasn't so cold and dreary, we definitely would have camped outside. Great experience and good food.

The best atmosphere for adults and kids! Loved enjoying a nice beer with my wife while the kids played on the large outdoor patio. The owner, Andrew, is as kind as can be and the food is amazing! New management has done an excellent job.

Great environment, taste food and delicious beer. Really friendly staff is an addition to the delicious food and vast options of beer, drinks and wine. The outdoor area is cosy with a great view. Also perfect to bring your dog to enjoy a brunch on the side of your best friend.

Meh. Better places in Austin. Burger meh So-so. Menu selection small Decent beer selection

Same manager and wait staff with sour attitude as with previous owners that were tanking it. They are just repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome. There are plenty of better options nearby.
