    Waiter lost our order. Waited 1 hour for anyone to acknowledge the loss of the order. We were not charged for the meal- even then one order received was wrong and brisket taco overcooked- meat hard cubes. Staff kind. Bad luck for us!

    First time staying at The Drover and eating here. Our server was a young lady named Jessica. Her service and presentation was fantastic. I asked how long she had worked there and she told us only 3 weeks! We had the chicken fried steak and it was incredible. Very tender, crispy and piping hot. The mashed potatoes , green beans and gravy were spot on too. Overall a really great experience.

    Thank you for a lovely evening. We had fantastic service with Riley! The food was really good. The grilled Caesar wasn’t grilled at all but it was tasty. The steaks were delicious! Only thing I’d recommend is using HOT plates! Keep that sizzle!!

Went for a friend’s birthday and was surprised that they brought out a piece of dessert with a sparkler candle. Will definitely be back for a date night!

    Larry was absolutely incredible with our group of 12. He remembered every single order without writing it down and repeated it back in reverse around the whole table again. He was great with the kids and made sure their hot chocolate was the perfect temperature. Food was absolutely incredible, fresh, delicious and huge portions!

    The lunch experience was so different from last night’s evening meal, which I thought was perfect. Today, The hamburger was overcooked, the fries were barely warm, the tacos in corn tortillas fell apart, and our waitress at this lunch meal could not be found for supplement tea and check. I had to get up and look for help. It still is a beautiful place; but Two meals, two takes.

    This was a rejuvenating meal! Our seating was lovely with a view of Cypress trees wafting in the wind. Our charming waitress, Taylor, was excited to share in the subtle details of the place, along with giving us a flash of her love of Texas as well. The combo of those complemented each other and brought us a bit of excitement when ordering. For instance, I ordered a Texas Chicken Fried Steak. Had it many times before, of course, but this one now ranks # 1. (I may go back and order it again today!) It was a mound of perfection with a just right bit of tasty gravy on ever so creamy taters. I said to my husband, “How often do you get pure excitement from a first bite?” Husband, a fish lover, raved about his cast iron Redfish, but was unsure of bean ragou. He wished for my green beans-which were perfect and colorful. The pecan pie was also good for a crusty gal, and the ice cream was even pretty to behold-a sacred white. One of my favorite meals, and waitresses of all time, and that is saying a lot. Thanks!

    Our 2nd visit to Hotel Drover and dining at 97 West. We really like the restaurant. Service is very good. I did request we wanted to avoid being shoved into a table for 2 and sitting on top of other guests. The team did accommodate. The restaurant was not full so should not have been an issue. The gal at the front desk of the restaurant was a bit hesitant. Appeared she did not speak very good English so unsure if she did not understand the request but the other ladies were delightful and very kind and understood. Would love to see additional salad and sandwich options for dinner. A bit limited if you do not want a huge meal. We look forward to our next visit to the Drover and Ft Worth.

    The food I was amazing! We ordered a Cinnamon roll to share(4 adults)we all got a taste and still had room for brunch entrees. My parents split a Blackened grilled chicken sandwich with amazing potatoes! I hand the brunch burger and took half home for dinner! My son ordered the Nashville hot chicken & biscuits( appetizer technically) and had some left for another meal too. The drinks were good and service was good. Our waiter was also serving a large private group- he was quite busy! It’s is spendy but what is not right now? And given the fact we got two meals out of it and had drinks? AND the location?! I think it’s a fair value.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night. Our server, Miriam, provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was outstanding, and the portions were quite big given the prices on the menu. My chicken fried NYSteip may have been the best I’ve had in a long time. The fried oyster appetizer was excellent. The sides were all great. Cocktail sizes are generous. This is an excellent restaurant and we highly recommend it.

    You'd expect the server to be knowledgeable about the availability and pricing of the wine. Ordered a bottle of Pinot Noir from their very short list of bottles. Cost $70 ($25.99 at retail) After around 5 minutes he returned with a different bottle, informed our party that our original choice was not available, but that the manager would like to offer the new one at the very reasonable price of $130! I informed him that the original choice was $70 - he disagreed. After getting him to check, and waiting a further 10 minutes, I eventually had to go and find him to let him know that we needed to order food regardless! A manager came over, apologized and agreed to "comp" our first round of drinks. We ordered 5 beers, 4 were delivered correctly, one incorrectly - sent back to get the correct beer. When the check arrived, we had been charged for 6 beers, comp'd the 5 we drank, and charged for the incorrect item! Just a comedy of errors. Needless, not going to rush back there with out of town visitors again.
