GARDEN Review

This place is fanciful and comfortingly green with purples, reds, and yellows. I especially love the hollowed tree that the cacti grow out of. Very helpful staff too.

Love everything I ve ever had at this place. Fresh, delicious, and wonderful atmosphere! One of my favorite places ever!

Great place. Service is good. Food is good. Large open patio allows for 'al fresco' dinning, and at dusk in april it was a big hit. The pizza is good. The lamb good. Well worth to get off I10.

First time and it's amazing! The food is fantastic and I love the atmosphere. Such a beautiful place. I highly recommend it.

Excellent food and service. Couldn't tell from outside. The chef was awesome.will return. Wish we got there will the nursery was open
Walked through and a lot of interesting plant that would took home.

Good food and wine, friendly service, nice ambience

food was delicious and upscale, surprising for being in a small sweet simple town. veggie pizza was great!

I had the salmon salad and my company had the mushroom pizza and both entrees were delicious! The flavor profiles were unique and harmonious.

Great food and great service. Place was busy but we were able to call ahead and have a table ready when we arrived. Complimentary fruit cup given to my kids and coffee to my husband. Place was adorable and menu was interesting. Definitely a place we will return to on our next trip through town.

Servers were super kind. Ambiance was lovely. Food was tasty. I d come back.

My son and I were traveling through the area and were looking for a place to eat. Luckily we noticed that this building was a restaurant and decided to stop, very glad we did. We both had the chicken fried steak sandwich, it was excellent. Great steak fries as well, sweet tea was just right. We'll definitely be coming back.

This is what I had at TGC: Portobello mushroom appetizer, Creamy Tomato Basil Soup, Asian side salad, and the most divine chocolate cake with pieces of cheesecake and vanilla whipped cream.
If that [mostly] objective description wasn t enough to entice your taste buds, let me be frank: the food was incredible. The balsamic vinaigrette on the appetizer was mind blowing, especially when paired with the greens (quality dark, leafy, & flavorful greens like arugula I might add). The soup was a nice balance of creamy and acidic. The side salad was really impressive- it s far more effort than you d usually see go into a side salad. And the dessert...oh man that dessert. The server brought out a visual menu - a tray with real versions of each dessert option to choose from. Honestly, I would ve been fine paying more than the actual price for that hunk of heaven on a plate. Size was generous as well.
To sum it up, I appreciated how each component of each meal was well thought out; everything on the plate was important to each bite of food. Go!

This unexpected gem in rural Texas (along an endless stretch of I-10) was a Giant thrill the food, the service, the ambiance, the decor WOW! Sophisticated, yet down-to-earth, with old-fashioned hospitality from the very cordial owner, and wonderful food. The decor is right up my wife s alley so she took way too many pictures and thoroughly enjoyed herself and a delicious Moscato too. I had one of the best burgers Ever and my Sweetie had the chicken wraps. She ended up sharing a bit with me and they were super tasty (at least as good as PF Chang s if you re a fan). Unfortunately we got there too late to tour the garden center and gift shop, so plan ahead if you can to have enough time to check the whole place out. If the rest of it is anything like the restaurant, you will Not be disappointed. This place is one of those gems that make I-10 worth suffering through it would fit right in in any college town USA but chooses to remain gift to food-loving, gorgeous decor-appreciating long-empty-highway-through-Texas travelers. Can t thank you enough, Garden Co!

This is the best place I've been to in gears! We went in a larger group so I was able to try many dishes and everything was amazing! The hamburger was so flavorful I am still wondering what their secret is- like if it's grass fed or organic or what! Their grilled chicken, cheese pizza, blt,salads, etc all were mind blowing! The service was great- we were seated immediately despite having a larger group and it being lunchtime (there was a couple smaller groups waiting but not for long) they were busy but not under staffed so the time from order to service was decent. Our waitress forgot one of our orders but told us, apologized and got it out asap, which didn't take that much longer. This was a fantastic place! I had 3 children 10 and under with me and they cleaned their plates which NEVER happens. The decor was cool and interesting to look at and talk about. The prices are perfect for the quality you're getting. We didn't have time for dessert but we saw several tables around us getting desserts (some just beverages and dessert!) so I'm guessing they're really good as well! I can't wait to go back even though I live an hour away. I'm sure it will be soon!

This is by far the BEST restaurant in a 100 mile radius. It is upscale but worth every cent. Their chef has obviously been trained in fine cuisine because the food speaks for itself. Our party had the ribeye, rack of lamb, hangar steak salad, wood fire grilled pizzas, baked brie, grilled brussel sprouts and everything was truly exceptional. Proportions are plenty for one person with some left to take home because you'll want to do that! This is a 5 star restaurant in a tiny town that can surpass the best of them in the big city.

Great food, pleasant staff. Had tye best tasting red snapper and Brussels sprout, and I was born in Brussels and it did not taste like that.

Great food, friendly service. The atmosphere is very chic, casual, and comfortable. There's a good but not overwhelming variety of delicious menu options. I got the beet salad (pictured, $12)--it was great. The staff were incredibly kind and it was a lot of fun to stop by the garden area afterwards, where they seem to have a great selection at reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Service was fast and friendly, nearly perfect honestly. The food is amazing, Korean street tacos for appetizer were just wow. I did a wood fired pizza and it was the best I've had in many years. Those with me did a burger and chicken fried steak and we're not sure who had the best meal as it was all wonderful. I will absolutely be coming back

My wife and I happened to be driving through and saw this absolutely stunning establishment. When we walked in we continued to be blown away by the amazing farmhouse / rustic style decor... And then the food happened.. WOW... We started with the jalapeno bacon grilled chicken bites and then followed it up a grilled salmon cesear salad and the Farmer Fred and they can both be described as an EXPLOSION of flavor made possibly by impeccable service! Highly highly recommend.

Driving home to Houston and we were hungry so google search and ten minutes later I found this place! We stopped here and so glad we did, it s a lovely place with a delicious menu. We got the Farmer Fred and Fungi Burger and both were tasty! We couldn t stay for dessert but definitely excited to eventually come back and try more items off the menu!! Service was great also!!

Food was so good. Chicken fried steak sandwich and fries for lunch was top notch. Lady companions burger was great also. Just a great environment with all the greenery as well. Garden store was cool too.

What a great restaurant!! Super cute atmosphere, the shop in the back is just as precious. I highly recommend a reservation in advance to ensure no wait.

Great fresh food, innovative veggie options. Really nice decor and ambiance. If you re traveling from Houston to San Antonio, don t eat at Bucky s stop right here. Delicious food nicely presented.

We had the escargot, grilled portabella, and wilted spinach salad. The food is excellent. It was my second visit and we got the same thing as we did the first time. I would highly recommend the garden co. to anyone looking for something different than the usual lunch fare. Next time I'm going for the Reuben.

What a terrific and surprising find. Great decor and I wish I could make my house smell like this. This place makes the tragic drive from Dallas to Corpus actually bearable. I wish we had this in Dallas.

Delicious salmon and asparagus special. Lovely atmosphere and super friendly!!! Yum!

Nice atmosphere and an unexpected surprise. The food was very good and staff was welcoming.

Shouting out to The Garden Co. Marketplace & Cafe for taking care of our Brake Check Team !!! You guys Do It Right!! Five Stars and a big Thumbs UP!

Worth the drive. Soft music, cute decor, fabulous food, al holiday a available

It's a must have! We were only in town two nights and ate there twice. Had the steak salad, Portobella mushroom appetizer, strawberry salad, country fried steak, and our son had the chicken strips. We finished with a almond joy pie. EVERYTHING was delicious. Service was good. It's a cute house and garden. I will eat here every time I'm in town.

Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly staff and awesome selection of succulents, cacti, plants, and garden and gift items.

Cute decor, friendly staff. Grilled cheese sandwich was awesome, chicken salad would be better served cold.....maybe it was just made.

Beautiful surroundings and contemporary menu items. Recommend to everyone.

This place was so cute. The food was great and the ambiance was wonderful.

Great place rain came in and staff huslted to make sure everyone was seated inside. Food was amazing.

This place is the best !! Never had a bad meal! Any place that can get me to eat greens and love them and my wife feta knows what their doing .

Grilled chicken sandwich was magnificent! I'll surely go there in every my future visits to South Texas. The staff and the place were lovely. However, I didn't like the chicken BBQ pizza so much.

Lamb burger w/ a glass of red! Perfect combination.

What an amazing find!!! I met up with a friend from Houston and Schulenberg was our halfway point. We were totally delighted with everything we ordered - Korean mini street tacos, salmon salad and key lime pie. We also saw the other plates ordered nearby and they all looked pretty incredible! The restaurant itself is just charming. Our service was great. We will definitely be coming back again to try more of the menu.

Best steak I've had in years. The rest of the menu looks solid too. Can't wait to come back.

Innovative menu, fabulous flavors, great service - I'd return in a heartbeat!

Veggie-licious! I had the pleasure of eating here thanks to a wonderful host. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We tried the Brussel sprouts and the beet salad. SO good. The next time I'm in Schulenberg, this is one of two places I HAVE to visit.

Pretty good food, cute atmosphere, not very good service. Waitress barely spoke to us and was unfriendly. Don't think we'd go back.

We stopped in on our way to the coast based on the high reviews. And it didn't disappoint! The lamb burger is juicy, the chicken fried steak is tender and my turkey sandwich was delicious! We also tried the escargot which was amazing!

So good. Do yourself a favor and get 2 minutes off the Interstate for lunch. Sit outside if the weather is decent.

Best place to eat in Schulenburg. Nice service and atmosphere.

What an amazing find! The food is delicious and the garden is spectacular!

AMAZING! Three other ladies and myself were antiquing at Round Top and decided to stay in Schulenburg. What a wonderful surprise awaited us at The Garden Company! Delicious food, amazing staff, and wonderful setting. Even though I live 90 minutes away, I am bringing my husband here for our next date night!

Came across this quaint restaurant while searching Google for nearby restaurants in Schulenberg on our way from Waco to Portland, Tx. This is a wonderful place! Can't recommend it enough. Great staff, beautiful gardens and great decor.

A "go to place" on the way to Houston.

Excellent food, drink and atmosphere!

Great food with great service. Would recommend for anyone looking for a nice cozy place too eat.

The brussel sprouts are amazing and a must-have appetizer.

Loved the atmosphere and hospitality. Had to have been the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever eaten!!!!

I picked up a really delicious and innovative salad while passing through, which was more tasty than I could have even imagined! Highly recommend coming here for fresh and delicious food! The staff were all helpful and nice as well.

Three knowledgeable people approached us to help. Beautiful place with lots of great ideas on display.

Wonderful place off of the beaten path. Wide variety of really good meals. The salads were fresh and very tasty. The burgers are huge. If I make it back to Schulenburg, I will come back.

What a pleasure to meet such kind people on our trip. We were exhausted and needed a healthy bite to take the rest of the trip. They gave us all drinks while we waited for our Togo order. Offered an alternative traveling route and most of all smiling faces. It is an adorable plant shop (was closed but they still let me buy a few succulents) and a really good restaurants with farm to table food. We had a pizza and a salad. Both were remarkable. Definitely worth the five minute detour off the freeway!!!

Delightful Surprise! Relaxing ambiance and wow, was the food good! We ordered side salads (creative, fresh, bursts of flavor) and bleu cheese burgers. The meat had outstanding flavor! We celebrated a special event with bubbly Prosecco. Must return to try their desserts! The staff and owner, Jeff, couldn t have made us feel more welcome, and added to the joy of our special day. Don t miss this verdant treasure in Schulenberg!

Beautiful location and aesthetic, but somer servings were too small

Decor was fabulous and the servers very friendly. Our food was very good, but did feel many menu items were priced a bit on the higher side.

Stop here by chance. The food was amazing! Awesome place!

Incredible food.
Awesome mustache guy.
Great atmosphere.

This place was amazing and the food and service is awesome. I highly recommend this place.

I'm crazy for this place. The food was superlicious! So fresh creative and tasty. I had the fresh strawberry salad with toasted pecans and fetticinni...my husband had a portabella mushroom burger. Excellent food. A bit pricey but the quality was beyond compare and the service was top notch.

Drove from Houston for a special dinner with Austin son. It was the perfect meeting place and the food & wine was some of the best we've had! Loved shopping at the quaint nursery too. Can't wait to go back!

Superb food quality, efficient service and ice cold beer. Stop what you are doing and try this place.

Delicious food and great ambiance. Try the bread pudding for dessert... so delightful!

1st the place is quaint, eclectic and just welcoming. The food was a refreshing surprise and they did a great job with social distancing the tables, the staff wore their mask and they were very attentive. Loved it!

Highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is nice and chill. The staff is super friendly. Best Brussels Sprouts I ve had.

Love the food and the service was great. Excellent atmosphere and will definitely be back!

Cold day, would have liked a couple more warm option, but the food we had was good

Found this place driving through on a rod trip. EXCELLENT. The food and atmosphere is great. Fast service as well. Highly recommend.

Tried this restaurant today for the first time. Decor was cozy and the food was fabulous! I had the salmon salad and my husband had the hangar steak salad. Both entrees were delicious! Even better the bill was reasonable. We'll definitely be back!!!

Staff was friendly, owner friendly, food tasted amazing!

Definitely recommended spot to visit here in Schulenburg!

Food was delicious. However bill was over the top. While trying to decide what to eat the waitress approached us and offered their specialty for today " Chicken fried steak", not on menu. We get the bill $67.09 and no tip. We do not get out very often, but wow. Did not want to say anything they were expecting more people, so make sure for SPECIALTIES, as for special pricing. lesson learned.

It is in those small towns in Texas that you might find the best food. The place is nice, very simple and minimalist decoration. The food is great. Try those Asian inspired tacos

White tablecloth dining in small-town Texas. Portobello mushroom appetizer is delicious. Steaks cooked perfectly.

We showed up at closing (3PM) by accident and they didn't hate us. Very cool staff and kitchen. Every dish is unique and delicious. Will be a regular stop for us.

Great blue cheese burger. Service good. Would recommend a visit!

What a treat to find this delicious restaurant in Schulenburg, Texas! Reservations highly suggested. The menu is more along the lines of something that you would find in a very upscale restaurant in Dallas, Austin, or in the Heights in Houston. Delicious food, served with a smile and a great appreciation. Generous wine servings, mimosas, and craft beers. The menu will please meet eaters, vegan, vegetarian, and kids! Comfortable surroundings, great food, small-town atmosphere, how can you go wrong? See for yourself and enjoy! By the way, the homemade Italian cream cake is worth every single calorie! Absolutely phenomenal.

Lovely place , the atmosphere of the place is exquisite

Crispy Brussels Sprouts were delicious! As was everything else...worth the drive from Houston.

Delicious food! Everything I've tried there is great! Looking forward to going back!

I met a friend of mine in the middle of our two homes (hers in San Antonio and mine in Houston). We checked out this cute little place and were both so pleasantly surprised! The food was delicious and fresh and the service was exactly what you expect in southern hospitality. I tried the bacon wrapped jalapenos with chicken, pork tenderloin, stuffed mushrooms, and brie cheese appetizer. All were absolutely fantastic! I will be planning my trips around this pit-stop from now on!

Loved it!
