- KKIMBERLYLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoI moved here from Southern California where good restaurants are plentiful and I can be a bit finicky. My friends in the Round Rock area have highly recommended whiskey cake, but for some reason I could never make it to the restaurant. Unfortunately due to a death in the family, I thought it best to take my parents out for a late lunch to lift their spirits, and this restaurant did not disappoint! Everything was stellar from the excellent service by Manny to the unbelievably delicious signature dessert!More infoWhiskey Cake - Round RockPrice: Moderate• Farm-to-table• Round Rock•4.7
- MmaryCentral Texas •1 review4.0Dined on Oct 6, 2024Don’t bother making a reservation. We showed up 15 min before our time, and were told 10-20 min, but we’re seated until 20 min after our reservation time. This impacted the timeline of the rest of our evening.More infoBJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse - TemplePrice: Moderate• American• Temple•4.5
