Spicewood Restaurant - Alpine (TX)

5 /5 David Thomas: Was a little hard to find the driveway in the dark. The building from the outside is very unassuming, but once you get in, what a place. Very open, well decorated, really nice bar area, and a great patio. Good menu with great food. We did have a small issue with the steak tips not being well done, but that was resolved in just a couple of minutes. We ended up with a corner piece for the bread pudding, it was a little cool and a little dry ( corner piece remember) but the flavor was wonderful. All in all, a great experience. We would definitely go there again when we ate in the area.

3 /5 Jeff Huepenbecker: My friend and I passed through Spicewood on our way to Van Horn. I saw they offered a breakfast buffet so we decided to come in. After being seated by the hostess, we asked the server about the breakfast buffet where her first response was that she wasn’t sure if we could sit where they sat us to enjoy the buffet. After talking to another employee (unsure who) she came back with two plates and said we could eat there. She continued taking our drink order and we went up. The buffet was good, but limited. They provided eggs, biscuits, sausage gravy, and cubed potatoes. There may have been cereal as well. The food was standard, complimentary hotel-quality. We decided to go up for a second plate where another server said “I don’t know if you know this but you’re only allowed one plate.” Had we known we would have put a little more on our plate instead of not wanting to waste food by taking too much. Our server apologized she didn’t know the rule. She mentioned they started providing the breakfast so I presume management failed to inform their staff to ask the guests if they wanted menu service or buffet service if they indeed had separate dining areas and failed to inform the servers of the rules to let the tables know before they go up. Otherwise, our server was nice and pleasant.

5 /5 Karla Karla: A True West Texas Gem! Spicewood captures the spirit of Alpine with its inviting, family-friendly atmosphere, thoughtful details, and a menu that delivers. The Brisket Nachos are spot on—smoky, flavorful, and generously layered. The burgers are nothing short of outstanding, the steak tips tender and well-seasoned, and the cocktails executed with timeless precision. Copper tables and leather-bound menus add a touch of rustic elegance, while the scenic views and cool Alpine breeze create the perfect backdrop. A must-visit spot for anyone seeking elevated comfort food and warm hospitality in West Texas.

5 /5 D D: Excellent food, great atmosphere. Cannot beat the green chili burger - Ties for first place with the other one in town. Food was hot and delicious, service friendly and fast. Pets are allowed on the back patio - for the people who feel they need others to be around their dog at restaurant. Top quality - Top show - One of the best venues in town.

5 /5 David Perry: First the food was prepared perfectly and the menu has very good variety. I loved the hatch green chili cheese burger and fries... The beef patty seasoned to perfection, big pieces of green chili, fresh trimmings, juicy and the bun held it all together. My wife had the redfish with pico cream sauce and wait for it... Spaghetti squash! We sat in the covered patio facing the mountains and shared a bottle of Austin Hope Cabernet. The manager checked twice to ensure our order was to perfection and the wait staff are very friendly. Can accommodate large groups too. If youre hungry i highly recommend Spicewood.
