    Monica was delightful and very efficient! The only thing I don’t like about the Reel is you have to pay for a salad when I can’t eat French fries, which makes 6 fried shrimp $13. which is expensive!

    I read the lowest reviews because I’ve been coming here for years and never had bad food or service. Not sure where these people have eaten before but I wish they’d list the restaurants that satisfy them because if The Reel didn’t satisfy them and they’ve eaten better I want to check those places out. Those places must have the absolute best of everything and charge less than McDonald’s dollar menu. But seriously, the service here is that of a Brazilian steakhouse and the food has been nothing but amazing on my experience. I’ve had the chicken fried chicken, chicken fried ribeye, the burger, calamari, fondue, catfish, fried shrimp, waffles, fondue omelette, grits with scrambled eggs skillet, crab cakes, etc. and every. single. one. of those items were delicious. I’m speaking of the New Braunfels location on Hwy 46 & Loop 337.

    Food was generally good but I thought $14 for one crab cake with a little sauce and a slice of avocado was a bit pricey. Our waitress was nice but seemed new/undertrained - she wasn’t sure on a couple of commonly asked items (like if they serve Pepsi or Coke), but took care of us ok. The restaurant seemed clean. The manager was present and helping on the floor.

    Food was great as always. Service was good. Table wasn’t cleaned before we were seated. First time we’ve eating inside since the patio was refurbished and is very nice. The inside needs a refurbishment, getting a bit run down and worn. Love the food here

    Food, service, and general experience was great. We had Sunday afternoon lunch for 4 (did not order from brunch menu). Portions were generally large. Ingredients seemed fresh and preparation was to a high standard. On this visit we had Fried shrimp & catfish, shrimp & grits, Parmesan crusted salmon, and blackened catfish. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Some minor preferences from our table made our meal a 4.7 out of 5.0 but that was for small stuff. We would definitely return in the future. Would definitely recommend to friends. There is a lot on the menu we want to come back for.

    Had a great dining experience! Food was great, but just needed a little bit more spice. In fairness, I’m from Louisiana so our seafood is a bit more spicy than most places. Service was great! I’ll definitely return.

    They need to work on updating their decor. It is decorated like a fast food restaurant (kind of cheesy). Other than that the service and food was pretty good.
