"Hiding in Dripping Springs is a fully rebuilt Vietnamese town hall housing a stellar dining experience at Camp Lucy’s countryside resort. Visually, the architectural details could satisfy anyone on an aesthetic diet, but Tillie’s New American menu is just as appealing. Diners will find dishes like sunflower seed risotto and duck breast with yellow curry, charred carrots, pomegranate, and a green apple vermouth glaze. While the outdoor patio is perfect when the weather’s inviting, dining under the historic structure is still considered the best way to get the full “Tillie’s” experience. It’s truly a hidden gem worth a detour." - Deven Wilson
"Feeling fancy? Stop into the gorgeous antique-filled restaurant at the hotel and wedding venue Camp Lucy. The New American restaurant’s menu includes dishes like smoked pork chops with cheddar grits and charred tomatoes, guajillo ancho braised duck breast with tallow fried Texas toast, Moroccan lamb meatballs, and a full bar. Tillie’s serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, and there are alpacas living on-site for post-meal animal sightings. Reservations are recommended, and you’ll want to dress at least a little bit nice. The fine decor is Texas farmhouse meets chic Mediterranean, with clearly expensive mismatched tiles and a sea of soothing colors." - Erin Russell
"Tillie’s is the restaurant in Camp Lucy, a fancy resort where your rich friends from college probably had their wedding last year. Even if you’re not willing to shell out $400 to stay overnight, coming for dinner is a surefire date-night move. The giant teal double doors open into a monastery-like dining room with statuette-filled alcoves, and you might find yourself seated next to a group of friends celebrating their bestie’s divorce or a couple toasting to their kid finally moving out of the house. You’ll want to savor each bite of the rosemary focaccia and the sweet, tender pork chop. Also, plan on ordering the shrimp and grits, since the grits themselves are stone-ground at Barton Springs Mill nearby and have a lovely blue hue." - nicolai mccrary, anne cruz
