We came to the Spicewood as part of a familiarization tour for outdoor writers. So having grown up in Florida and now living in Eugene, close enough to the coast up in salmon country, I wasn't sure what I might get when I ordered fish. I lived for fifty years in landlocked Colorado and for a long time it was hard to adjust to fish that just wasn't quite done right, all too often left to cook too long and ending up as shoe leather. So here we were in Texas, miles of desert all around us, but I took a chance. on the salmon. Ian, our waiter, took excellent, patient care of us. Having lived in Alaska, Ian knows something about salmon. No idea how much sway he has in the kitchen but what came out was perfect: perfectly cooked, not overdone, not overly-spiced and a perfect lunch to precede a hike in Big Bend.It's always such a joy to find a place which feels out in the middle of nowhere- a feeling that can hit you hard and frequently in the vast expanse that is Texas- and be treated to excellent food from an ocean very far away. Kudos to Spicewood for having staff that knows that fish and steak continue to cook once removed from the heat source. That may sound obvious, and it most assuredly is, but too many kitchens don't understand it. Spicewood was a joy. I'm not a big foodie, but I most assuredly love to acknowledge good food well-cooked and nicely presented. Many thanks to the staff at Visit Big Bend for making sure that our lunch was very special. Spicewood is worth the trip!

We ordered takeout, and to begin with, my call was placed on hold for about ten minutes before I could order. Ordered a hamburger and the chicken fried tenderloin. The tenderloin was okay but the hamburger was rare/ bloody in the middle and we had to finish cooking it in a microwave in our hotel room. They gave us an order of fries we didn't order and charged us for it. No ketchup was provided for the burger, no napkins or cutlery. Food is overpriced.So all in all. A bad experience. Although it's a large dining area, it was 2/3 full on a Thursday night. There were about ten people waiting to be seated and no hostess in sight when I entered. My guess is they are understaffed. It doesn't appear that they have any competition in town even with their limited menu.

Our favorite restaurant in Alpine! We are here for dinner the 3 days we stayed in Alpine. Their cheeseburger, French fries, and Brussels sprouts were my favorite! My husband got the chicken enchiladas one night and I thought the portion was pretty small compared to other entrees. Staff were really nice! Would recommend if stopping by Alpine!

We were able to eat here twice during our stay in Alpine this past weekend. First night was really good. Christopher was an awesome host. Sharon K was an awesome server! Food was really good. Second night was off. Host (didn't get his name) could not have cared less that we wanted to spend money there. He saw us waiting and stopped before he helped us to straighten his menus. Took his time about it too. It was very "I could care less". Then he looked over a pad he was carrying. Then finally asked us if we were wanting a table. There were a few tables that needed cleaned and he told us it would be 20 minutes or we could sit in the bar. We chose the bar. Sam W was our server and he was hustling and really on top of things. Food was disappointing as I had high expectations from the previous evening but my squash and mashed potato sides were cold. Not room temp, but cold. It was late, my legs don't like tall chairs and my chicken fried tenderloin was good so I didn't mention it. But it was such a night and day difference from Fri to Sat night. Had our first impressions been what occurred on Sat night, we'd not have returned.

Food: Food was good, slightly over priced, but tasty nonetheless. I had the jalapeño burger, tasty and messy. Service: top notch, our party had a reservation with 18 people and the waitress was fantastic, never had an issue.Ambiance: outside patio was beautiful sight! Small annoyance was that the circular table I sat at I kept hitting my knee on. Other than those things really neat place.

The food here is.... ok. I've had many things at Spicewood over the past year, and you can usually make the item better at home. Recent visit we had the vegetable noodles in a pesto sauce. It was like having a bowl of creamy soup. Friend had the blackened white fish which was literally what you can make at home if you smother the fish with blackened seasoning. The nachos I've had are your typical house nachos. Try for yourself and see. We will be back because the bartenders are nice and there is not a lot in Alpine. I've never had an item that I was compelled to re-order the next time we came in. Interior is clean with a nice view.

The salmon is amazing, went one night and they were out early evening so I knew it was good. Went back the next day and got to try it, best salmon I've ever had.

What a nice surprise. Exceptional food, great service, with a nice view. Steak Bites were a nice surprise, the Poblano chicken was moist and flavorful, and the fried shrimp were delicious (and the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever tasted).
