Second Bar & Kitchen at The Crazy Water Hotel

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner here on Saturday evening. It's such a lovely room and it has a classic yet relaxing ambiance.I ordered the salmon, which was prepared beautifully, and my husband went for the ribeye; no regrets there either. Our server, Tyler, was very pleasant and gave us great advice on our menu selections. If you haven't visited here yet you're missing out-- treat yourself!

Amazing place. Great bar... great food!! We got the Pork Ribeye and was honestly one of the best pork chops I've ever had. Service was amazing. The old fashion was a top 5 all time for me.

We made a reservation for happy hour as it was recommended to me by someone from the area. We are glad we did. The lounge seating is comfortable. Our server was attentive and made great recommendations for drinks. The black truffle fries and chips and guacamole appetizers were excellent as were the drink prices. We would definitely come back to try dinner here as the menu looked amazing.

The ambiance of this place is golden. It is in the Historic Crazy Water Hotel, which in itself is charming, fun to visit and always put a smile on my face. I gave it three stars due to location. The up front service was polite and friendly. Lots of good people smiles and attentive. Our waitress was pleasant and gave suggestions along the way. I was expecting a fabulous 5 star food experience. I was so disappointed. The food was a great disappointment, no flavor. The plating was a mess and not appealing at all. We had a party of four and only one person was pleased with their dinner. This was the Beet Salad. Sloppy plating, only about four beet slices, covered in micro greens, freeze dried chickpeas, and vinegar. The vinegar dressing overpowered the salad and it needed salt. For $15, I was so disappointed Soba Noodles was poorly plated. Down right ugly and unappealing. The person who ordered it, said it was plain. No taste and extremely vinegary. Such a disappointment. Broiled Salmon was plated just ok. The salmon was cooked well and had good simple flavor. I enjoyed it. The side was supposed to be butternut squash and broccolini. I got four butternut squash cubes and 1 tiny broccolini. The purée on the bottom was a vinegar butternut squash- very sour and not enjoyable. It did add to the dish at all. In between the butternut squash and broccolini, there was about 13 soggy croutons that made the sides look filled in but left the palate wanting more. I so dislike soggy bread, no matter what format it comes in. The whole plate was covered in micro-greens, as to hide the plating and make it look bigger than what it is. The New York strip was cooked to perfection and the polenta was tasty. However that whole plate was $55. Plated well and had really good flavor. This party member was the only one that enjoyed his food and experience. Out of the four of us, only one left satisfied with his meal. And that was the New York strip steak. The rest of us left hungry and unsatisfied with our dinners. We were hoping that our very souls would have been touched by the food of this particular Chef . We had heard so many great things about it, only to be incredibly disappointed.I will say that this restaurant is the most expensive, fanciest , nicest, AND CLEANEST restaurant in Mineral Wells. But the food is lacking. I'm sorry.

Exceptional is not a strong enough word for this place. Fromthe service,to the bar, to the food, you cannot go wrong. We tried an appetizer, a burger, drink and dessert and all of them were excellent. The burger is one of the best we have ever had. It was perfectly cooked, juicy and the flavor was spot on! Don't miss out of the incredible desserts. We tried the buttermilk pie and it was delectable! We have eaten all kinds of food all over the US and this quickly moved to one our top "all around" meals. The service was great as well and our bartender answered every single question I asked her. She was so patient and helpful. I can't wait to try something else from the menu. I have a feeling you can't go wrong with any choice you make.

Service was exquisite. Food super good. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts as a starter. We were basically sitting in the hotel lobby, but it wasn't too busy, so the noise was at a minimum. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Mineral Wells or passing through.

I was looking forward to eating here and half the reason for the stop in Mineral Wells and staying at the Crazy Water hotel. I've enjoyed the ATX location and looked forward to this meal. Upon arriving at 6:20pm we were told that if we didn't have a reservation, we'd have to sit in the lobby seating. Unfortunately, the 5 tables, one 2-top in particular remained vacant throughout dining. We instead were graced with the ambiance of the lobby and preteen baseball kids running around and banging on the lobby piano. The Brie arrived and it was delicious! It was like having a gourmet appetizer in the middle of a theme park. Savor the flavor. We ordered 2 burgers, mine was a medium-well Congress burger. Well presented and that was all. We should have stopped with the Brie. Drinks lagged, polenta side was presented well, but lacked flavor. Hopefully this was a one-off experience and other patrons will have the culinary experience they are known for providing.

just wonderful! 88 local investors have taken on the crazy water hotel and brought it up to find standard. This is not the giant baker hotel but it goes back to the same. era is equally beautiful. it is a large hotel. I'm sorry we didn't stay there this time, the pool and spa in the basement have yet to be renovated. We made reservations on.Resy for a table in the lobby area, but were told by reception that it was closed. The actual restaurant has an echo and if you're looking to talk, it's loud when I mentioned this to Lily our waitress she immediately said she'd be pleased to serve us at a lobby table. she was on top of everything a most marvelous fruit, waffle, eggs, and coffee. Did I mention the hot syrup? We made this trip for a short getaway from Fort Worth. We will be returning.

a first for me in mineral wells- a craft cocktail and dining experience!second bar+kitchen is a new and happening locale located in the crazy water hotel, which is experiencing a rebirth back to its roots after years of being an old folks home and then unoccupied. the building and restaurant harken back to mineral wells heydays, marble and vaulted ceilings. the restaurant combines these beautifully restored features with midmod accents, creating a beautiful dining experience!we sat at the bar and enjoyed the attention to detail from the servers, as well as watching the bartenders work their magic. the food and drinks were very good, the star of the show was the specialty burger. now, i wont lie, we had a bit of sticker shock - these are big city prices in small town mineral wells- but it is an experience that you would otherwise have to drive to fort worth for. we will return!

Hands down some of the best food I have ever had. Thank you, David, for bringing such quality food to my hometown. The atmosphere of the remodeled Crazy Water hotel only adds to the class of this restaurant. Whether it's elevated American classics like hamburgers, weird choices like olive oil and ice cream, or some of the best appetizers you have ever tasted like the meatballs or Brussels sprouts, you cannot go wrong on this menu. Everything tastes amazing and I promise you will not be let down!!
