What Guests Say About Our Event Center
This is a cute little dance venue in Blanco that had amazing food, great service and wonderful music. The Scott Croft band was playing. They never disappoint
TEXAS FRIENDLY SPOKEN HERE. This is a fine BBQ restaurant where the food is expertly prepared and is reasonably priced. We got a 1/2 chicken, chopped BBQ sandwich, a side of beans to share, 6 devil eggs halves, and two drinks for about $45. It was enough food to take some back to our camp site. The owners prominently display the names of the Austin Colony'soriginall 300 families. Among them is the man for whom our hometown of Burnet was named. (He was the first provisional president of Texas during the revolution. No doubt he would have been put to Santa Anna's sword if the revolt had failed.) The place also has an event hall/dance floor that features live music a couple times a month.
This is the second year we have held our family reunion at Old 300 Back 40. Food is always great! Shelly, Cory and Brian always take care of us!!! It’s a great venue for the price!
We had a Celebration of Life event catered by Old 300 in their Back Forty location. If I could have given Shelley, the event/catering manager and her staff more stars I would have! Shelley was extremely helpful,knowledgeable and patient during the entire planning process. The Back Forty is an excellent place to host events of any kind. It has really good AV equipment and a great layout. The food was outstanding. Everyone really enjoyed their meal. The level of customer service was exemplary and the staff was very accomodating and understanding about the dietary needs of some of our guests. I highly recommend Old 300 and The Back Forty.
