    This restaurant was not even open, although you sent me a reservation confirmation. It appears it is closed indefinitely. We drove all the way to Llano only to find it was shut down. Please update your reservation information before booking reservations.

    A very good meal as usual. We really enjoy the Burger & Brew on Thursday! This is one of our very favorite places to eat in Llano.
