Top Texas Dining Experiences

Be prepared to be part of the show if makes all the difference. What more to say it is worth seeing.

10 out of 10 would absolutely recommend. Awesome idea for date night or meeting new friends.

We had a great time. The guide that took us around and talked about the lemurs was very knowledgeable, and you can tell he loved his job. Our daughter loved petting the giraffe. The steak dinner at the end was awesome.

We had a wonderful time, highly highly recommend. Shelly, the owner, was our tour guide - she was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the area (ours was the Downtown Plano Tour) and the food selection was excellent - got a wide range of options from the downtown area, and a lot of neat history about downtown and Plano in general. Excellent food, excellent drinks, excellent company - can’t recommend highly enough!! I hope we’ll be back in the area again soon so we can do their Star District tour as well!

Lee was very responsive, pleasant and helpful. She sent tips (eg photo ops) along the way, which was fun.

We absolutely loved this experience visiting Fredericksburg Giraffe Safari with wine and Dinner Experience at the Grapetown Vineyard in Fredericksburg TX. I was visiting from Los Angeles a friend who lives in Georgetown TX and we decided to do a last minute trip to Fredericksburg to see Texas Hill wine country. I'm very accustomed to Napa and Sonoma Valley in California and the vintner scene there. Found this delightful excursion on Cool Destinations with the advertisement of the rescued giraffe and other animals like zebras but could also drink some wine and then have a fabulous steak dinner afterwards. The trip far exceeded our expectations and feeding Geoffrey the Giraffe was highly entertaining and enjoyable for all involved including Geoffrey. And, the best part of this tour is that you could bring your family and friends of all ages to participate or go solo if traveling alone. The staff makes you feel most welcome and bend over backwards to facilitate a great experience. Truly a gem of an excursion in Fredericksburg TX wine country. We loved it immensely!

This is the kind of place that reminds you why you love supporting small businesses.My wife and I booked the wine and chocolate pairing experience at Hill Country Chocolate in Fredericksburg, and without question, it was the best tasting experience we've ever had. From the moment we walked through the door, Dan and Melanie made us feel like welcomed guests instead of customers. We were greeted immediately and escorted upstairs to a beautiful tasting room where we spent nearly two hours enjoying an unforgettable experience.Dan is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate business owners I've ever met. He walked us through not only each DKM wine and handcrafted chocolate pairing, but also the fascinating story behind how the business came to be and the meticulous process that goes into making every product. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for his craft were evident in every minute of the experience.And the products? Absolutely phenomenal.I can honestly say every single wine and every single chocolate was outstanding. The Moscato, sparkling wines, and red wines were all incredible. The chocolate pairings elevated everything even further. The turtles, brittle, chocolate-covered raisins, chocolate-covered strawberries... every bite was memorable. It was one of those rare experiences where you keep waiting for something to be "just okay," but it never happens because everything is exceptional.The factory itself is spotless, beautifully designed, and it's amazing being able to look through the windows and watch the production area where everything is made. The retail shop is equally impressive, filled with beautifully packaged chocolates, wines, gifts, and treats. We told ourselves we weren't going to buy much... that lasted about five minutes. There was simply no way we were leaving empty-handed.What impressed me most was the precision and care that Dan and Melanie have poured into every aspect of their business. From the presentation, to the storytelling, to the products themselves, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted. It's rare to find a place where the customer service is just as exceptional as the products, but Hill Country Chocolate absolutely delivers on both.If you're visiting Fredericksburg, do not skip this experience. Whether you're a wine lover, a chocolate lover, or just appreciate passionate business owners who genuinely care about giving guests an unforgettable experience, this is a must-do.Bravo, Dan and Melanie. Thank you for an incredible afternoon. We can't wait to come back and will be recommending Hill Country Chocolate to everyone we know.5/5 without hesitation.

Visited several local places to eat, all providing elements of the local cuisine. The food was great and we enjoyed talking with the proprietors, getting some history of the city and its people.

Had a great time, very entertaining

This Fort Worth Stockyards tour ended up being one of our favorite things we did, even though we almost didn’t book because we weren’t sure how a self-guided tour would work. The app was easy to follow, the food stops were genuinely good, and the history was much more interesting than we expected.What really stood out was being able to explore at our own pace. We took our time, stopped for photos, watched the cattle drive, and really enjoyed the day. Highly recommend for couples or friends looking for something different to do in the Stockyards.

Absolutely fantastic! We were a group of 3 girls and had so much fun. Each of the wineries were different and unique . I am a bit of a wine snob and was expecting mediocre tastings. Everything was delicious. Great wine! We each bought a bottle it was so good. Our guide Sue was perfect. She was knowledgeable and pointed out many highlights on our trip. It is obvious she loves her job. I would reccomend this to anyone visiting Waco.

This food tour was absolutely perfect from the first bite, all due to our amazing tour guide Sue!! Not only was she so knowledgeable about the Waco food scene, she made us wish we had another few nights to see and taste more of Waco!!

Destiny was a fantastic server. The food and atmosphere on the Riverwalk were both awesome...

My friends and I came for a nice wine tasting and pizza after in a bistro. We had a really good experience, it was pretty quiet for a Saturday evening so for the majority of the tasting it was just us. Well later doing the pizza portion in the bistro our server was wonderful and even had one of the owners come up and speak with us. She was wonderful!We planned responsibly and got a hotel that was about 30 minutes away and took an uber. Not knowing that it would be difficult to find an uber we waited until the end of our night to order one. One hour later we still were unable to find a driver. The assistant manager, Bianca, came up to us and asked where we were going. She was nice enough to ask her husband to bring us back to our hotel as she could tell we were struggling.Not planning transportation was our fault and did not impact our experience with Flat Creek Estate, it might have made even a bit better having a staff member help us out when we were quite stranded.Working in hospitality I know what it expected in establishments like this and the team did a fantastic job. Every one was friendly and made us feel welcome.

Great tour. Sue was a wealth of knowledgeAll the tour stops were uniqueThe time spent at each stop was just right. No rushing

Service was good and quick and staff was easy going just make sure you print your voucher. They have to have an actual copy of the voucher for their books.
