Editorial Review for Nutty Brown Cafe – by Dirk Sonniksen

In Short
The interior is pure Elk's Lodge-meets-'50s retro with cozy booths tucked away from the throng of partygoers outside. Separated from the restaurant, the bar sports video games and provides a welcome retreat for the parched and nicotine deprived. A patio provides ample seating for hungry diners craving fresh air, a stage for Nutty's numerous live shows, and a sandbox. The Tex-Mex menu has Southwestern egg rolls, salmon BLTs and chicken smothered in veggies and cheese.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I was on my way to Wimberly with some friends and we stopped at the Nutty Brown for dinner. Guy Forsyth was playing there that night so not only were we able to get some good grub but we also got to see a great show! We got chips and guacomole to start. The guac was like butter - so good! My boyfriend got a chicken fried steak and I got veggie burger. Everything tasted great and for somewhere with such a chill atmosphere we were served very fast.

We love this restaurant. The menu is surprisingly varied; the food is always great; the service is fast and friendly; the customers themselves are diverse and friendly; the atmosphere is relaxed. Who would guess that a "forest-green," cinder-block restaurant with a bandstand and a parrot outdoors would be so well managed? Or have such a great chef? We recently moved to the area from Austin; and for the first time ever, we now have a favorite family restaurant, and it's just around the corner.

Pros: Great food; fast, friendly service; laid-back atmosphere

Cons: No cons
