Restaurants near Pedernales Falls State Park

We recently had friends visiting us from Boston, and we decided to take them to Aba for Saturday brunch. Let me just say—what an incredible experience! We made reservations ahead of time, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. We ordered nearly everything from the brunch menu, including dips and hot mezzes, and every single dish was an absolute delight. Everything came out fresh and tasted phenomenal. The muhammara and burnt garlic hummus were crowd favorites. The falafel and Brussel sprouts were made to perfection. The desserts were equally impressive—the sticky date cake was an absolute star, and the cheesecake with its delicate puff pastry crust on top was unforgettable. Although the interior ambiance was exquisite, we opted to sit outside by the bar due to the size of our party and the perfect weather, which added to the charm of the experience. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and courteous, enhancing the overall great vibe of the place. Aba truly delivered a memorable dining experience. If you’re in town, this place is a must-visit! Delicious food, excellent service, and an all-around amazing brunch spot. Five stars all the way!

First time: Made reservations about two months in advance— the place was packed! Everyone was either celebrating something or spending time with loved ones. A great atmosphere! The food was outstanding, a great selection of wines and liquors at the bar. Service was faster than expected, especially considering how busy the place was. Reasonable prices all-around and excellent experience from the staff and the atmosphere.

Absolutely exceptional dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable celebration for my father's birthday. The service from Edwin, our server to Justin the GM who personally stopped by to wish my father a happy birthday, was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Each dish we tried was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The chef’s attention to detail was evident in every bite. The wine pairing was impeccable, complementing the flavors perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an unforgettable culinary experience. We’ll definitely be returning soon!

I took my mom to Christmas Eve dinner, and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind, going out of their way to assist with my mom’s mobility needs. The festive atmosphere, delicious food, and warm service made the evening truly special. Every dish was perfectly prepared, but it was the staff’s genuine care and attention that stood out. This was more than just a meal—it was a moment to treasure. We’ll definitely be back.

Kudos to the chef! Seriously, Dude, I lived the food. Who would have thought a deviled egg and a fried oyster would work. OMG! I was sorry I had to share two with my sister. Lately I have been on a kick trying different versions of fish tacos. These rate up top as well. Shout out to Keith and Ryan, both waiters were pleasing to talk with and to learn their stories. Thank you so much for a fabulous meal and wonderful experience. Debbie Troy, NY
