The food was pretty good, but not amazing. The atmosphere is SO cute though! Outdoor eating with lots of space, a space for kids to run around, and a stage. I wish we could have dinner with the live music there! Great place to stop and eat!

This was our second visit. We really enjoyed ourselves!! The food is really good and so are the drinks. We ordered a burger and a pulled pork sandwich, and the kids had the kids meal cheeseburger. The music was a little loud for our dog, but we managed. We live out of town so we couldn't leave her home. The only thing my husband mentioned was that the pulled pork sandwich would have been better with a sweet BBQ sauce. The onion rings were so good!! We will definitely be back!

After a long morning outside under the 105 degree temperature , we needed a drink and something to eat. We found Spechts and weren’t sure what to expect. Well, the food was actually very good and they had a nice selection of drinks to cool us down. The Burger, chicken avocado sandwich, onion rings, and salads were tasty. Ask about The story behind this location that dates back over 100 years !

The bacon cheese burger was very good, the gravy on the chicken was needing some seasoning, the Mac and Cheese didn’t have much flavor, the brisket fries were decent, and the pull pork sandwich was pretty good. They have a nice outside area out back cows, chickens, etc.

Delicious brisket fries, pulled pork nachos, and chocolate cake! Large portions. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of parking across the street. Will definitely visit again.

A great place to have dinner and listen to live music. Food is great. Atmosphere is nice. Walk around and see the old gas pumps and the cows in the pasture out back. Kids can run and play. Good place for all ages.

First time visiting, WOW! what a great place to go and have good food and fun. The staff was outstanding and the food was awesome! The venue has a great Texas history and is really good to see it being saved. I highly recommend this place for family fun and get togethers. Keep Texas strong visit Spechts.

I've been here twice and both times were wonderful experiences. First time, with my younger son's soccer team. We showed up unannounced and were very well cared for. Second time, with my older son's soccer team. A reservation was made this time and we showed up with quite a large group. The food was prepared quickly, the staff was very attentive and the live music was an unexpected element which added to the already enjoyable atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Heard nothing but great things about Spechts from locals. Finally got to visit for lunch. The food was delicious and the service was great! Loved the location and outside area. We plan to visit again soon during the weekend when they have live music.
Beverly Albrecht
Wonderful Live music, outdoor seating, rustic Texas feel and great food, wonderful staff and service! What more can you ask for? I shared videos below of their music to check out. This hidden gem is conveniently located in the country just north of San Antonio. It would also be a wonderful place to have a small birthday party as several customers do there. We had a great time! Highly recommend.

This is a magnificent place and our family eats here often. There is a large outdoor space for dining and being entertained by live music on the weekends. With only one exception on a very busy night, the service has been exceptional, friendly, and fast. All the food is really good and served in significant portions. I usually alternate between a burger and the chicken fried steak. The citrus dressing on the salad is my favorite dressing in the world. Save room for dessert because the chocolate cake and cobbler (we like the peach) are delicious. The live music is always fun and some customers are almost always dancing. The kids love running around the lawn out back. We order the cold food to-go because she'd rather play than eat almost any day. When it's too hot, cold, or stormy, there is indoor dining at several (maybe 8-9?) booths inside. We love this place and hope to see you there!

We were driving in the neighborhood and wife said “I want chicken fried steak!” So I found this on Google maps and we were pleasantly surprised. The chicken fried steaks were delicious and huge. The sides were excellent and the service was friendly and very prompt. I did not like the flies or the hair in our beer but overlooked that. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating and food was fast, hot and delicious. We will definitely come back with friends and family.
Pros:
Top notch chicken fried steak
Draft beer
Plenty of parking
Plenty of seating
Friendly service
Kid friendly
Cons:
Flies
Noisy patrons and customers (children running loose like wild animals)
Hair in our beer

We came here for the first time on April 16th and had a late lunch. The food was really good, and the french fries were the best ever. The outdoor atmosphere was great. We will definitely come back and bring friends and relatives to enjoy.

Stopped in for some adult beverages and good conversations with some coworkers. It was a great time. This place is Texas.
Fran Cohen
We arrived just as the band started playing. The music was great, but it was too loud to have any conversation. Our service was slow, but our server was pleasant. The food was pretty good, but my friends said the burgers needed seasoning. There was no salt and pepper on the table. The fried pickles that we ordered as an appetizer were so salty that we couldn't eat them.
Tracy Bel
After living in the area for almost 8 years, we finally tried this place out. Took us way too long. Great food and we also love the atmosphere, especially the outdoor dining space.
Heather Pilkington
We recently moved nearby and we’re told we HAD to check Spechts! It’s definitely a new favorite and I can’t wait to take the whole family! The food was great, loved the outdoor area and the service was quick!
Michael Davidson
This is the neatest little place in the boonies, had the spicy spechts burger and it was amazing. Was not sure about the slaw being on it but it was really good. Can’t wait to try it out when there is live music! Oh and the service was great!
Cliff McCarter
We hadn’t been in a while and went for Sunday brunch and blues on March 4, 2018 I was happy to see the place completely full, inside and out. Had never seen that before. Service was great, friendly and outgoing, in all fairness it was a little slow but my guess is they maybe weren’t expecting such a large crowd. The staff was working so hard. Didn’t matter to us we were there for a lazy Sunday. The food was first rate. Going back soon.
Regina Bridges
Great food, and great atmosphere! The staff were all very friendly & accommodating! My burger was fantastic, my husband had the chicken fried steak, my 10 year old inhaled the Pot Roast special, and my 6 year old loved the corndog bites off the kids menu! And we ended it with a delicious dessert! Great family friendly, dog friendly place. We will definitely be back!!
David Porter
This place was perfect! Beautiful historic Vintage place. We loved it , the food was delicious! Plenty of Waitresses, cold beer. Yum. We'll visit again. The stage is huge and had a cool breeze when I played there.

First visit to Specht's Store recently was on a Sunday in the heat of the afternoon. It was fairly slow and that was ok as mom, sister, brother-in-law and I were in chill mode. We sat out back on a picnic table under a fairly large covered patio while a music artist named Clayton Gardner played his acoustic sets on stage. A gigantic ceiling fan kept the patio cool and breezy while we enjoyed some very good food and listened to Clayton's musical talent.
James OHenry
The food was great, as well as the music. Perfect spot for a cool drink, family time, and a great meal. Look forward to coming back with friends.
Marti Parker
