Shiner Palace Saloon

We popped in here for a quick lunch after visiting the Shiner brewery. Overall our experience was not bad but I'm not sure that we would return if we were in Shiner again. The interior is littered with taxidermy animals that cover the walls and peer at you through the glass showcases around the dining room. If you're into that kind of thing, maybe kind of cool, if not, maybe kind of creepy. The entire staff was extremely friendly to us the entire time. We received a warm greeting once we arrived and a friendly server quickly took us to our table. We ordered two appetizers, the boudin egg rolls and the southwest egg rolls both of which were piping hot, crispy, and tasty. For dinner our whole table ordered chicken fried streak. The trays arrived with the food placed on a sheet of parchment paper which quickly became soggy and started to disintegrate into our food as we ate. The steak itself was crispy and flavorful but unfortunately very tough. The meat also was quite small once you cut into it with about a half inch of empty breading all around it. The sides were bland and watery.

Super cool place! The staff and people are so nice, we absolutely loved playing there. The food is amazing too.

Absolutely amazing ambiance, when you walk in your are truly transported in time. The staff was absolutely incredible and very friendly always asking for ways to serve. The food we had for starters was the pork belly and guacamole. Big fan here the pork belly perfectly cooked. Christina had the Tatar tot shots amazing and I gave the the chicken fried steak a go and was not disappointed. If you have a chance to swing in do take the time it is absolutely amazing.

Horrible!Worst food in Shiner for sure. Terrible service. They serve expensive ( bad) food in foil Togo boxes. It's a culinary joke!The place is actually quite beautiful and exquisite mounts adorn the walls and elaborate murals painted by a true master suck you in and give you high hopes until you sit and wait for water downed drinks and incredibly bad food. I live in Shiner but I'll never go back again.

This place is an awesome addition to the Shiner music food scene ! Building is Texas steakhouse Saloon classic style , very beautiful !Open till midnight Wednesday thru sat , live music most Friday and Saturday nights.

This place is like stepping back 100 or more years in time! A beautiful place that would be a perfect setting for a scene from a classic western movie. On top of that, good prices on beers on tap (more than just Shiner Bock), great comfort food, and friendly waitresses. It is my go-to break point on drives between Houston and New Braunfels (take 90-A, it's the scenic route).Plan to be there on a Friday or Saturday night when there's live music and a more raucous party atmosphere.

First off, the building is really cool and clean. The decor is unique. However, the overall experience will keep us away. We ordered a chicken fried steak which was equivalent to chewing on a piece of rubber. It seems like a frozen piece of chicken was battered and flash fried. I didn't swallow a single piece out of fear of getting sick. Now the service. I understand it was a busy Saturday night, but waiting 30+ minutes to get canned beers is a little outrageous. Twice I actually had to go looking for our waitress so we could finally get some service.

Great atmosphere. Great music. Have a wonderful time. Food is good and music is good.

I am Latino, I came into this place today and when I tell you everyone eating at this place dropped their conversation and stared us up and down, I mean it was dramatic. i saw no minorities except those who worked there and even they don't smile. I have never felt more unwelcomed in my life! The bartender was the only one who smiled at us. We used the restroom because we were on a road trip and wanted a cute place to eat but we had been out in a road for many miles ... we thought this place was so beautiful, food looked great but after that encounter we decided to leave and that we weren't ever coming back.

We always enjoy our time at the Shiner Palace Saloon! Great staff, good live music and food is good - the burger is great and other offerings good too! Whether you are local or passing through you'll have a good time here.
