How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

I like this place. I'd come back if I didn't live in Texas. Our servers were very nice. The food was good. My wife order from the brunch menu and I ordered from the regular menu. I had catfish and shrimp and she the pancake breakfast. Both were serviceable. Cheese grits were under seasoned and the greens I got were delicious but slightly undercooked. Another 20 minutes and they would have been amazing. We did arrive right after the doors opened so who knows. Maybe those greens get better with age. I loved the cook on my fried shrimp and fish. Great portions and my wife gave me her bacon so it was a good day!

This was the first time my husband and I dined here and the food and service were great. JP waited on us and was very kind, checked on us frequently, and our food came out quickly. My husband ordered the smokehouse two meat combo with pulled pork and brisket, and I ordered the fried catfish and shrimp meal. We will be back to try more things on their menu!

A comfortable and cozy clubhouse at the Green Valley Ranch golf course. We went for Friday’s prime rib night. My husband enjoyed his and easily ate “too much” (his words). I loved the shrimp tacos!

The place is quite nice on the golf course. The food is priced quite well. They seemed to run out a few things when we got there, which was disappointing. The fish and chips qas good, but lacked flavor. The desert was yummy. The service didnt come around as often even with our part of 8.
