Had the shrimp trio. It was marvelous! Love the mashed potatoes, the green beans, my lemonade, the chocolate cake for dessert, the rice and cole slaw. Had a bit of a wait for our waitress, bit she was apologetic and attentive after that.

We kept hearing about Clear Springs Restaurant here in New Braunfels & about how awesome it was. Well, since we've passed it on Hwy 46 many times, one day, we decided to visit & have only been the one time. We found the menu items a bit pricey. The food was okay but could've been better...wasn't all that impressive. The... More

A must stop for me anytime I get close to New Braunfels, TX. Located in an old feed mill, their specialty is fried seafood. Their fried catfish is always good and never has that soft, watery texture that so many restaurants fried fish has. Great shrimp, fried oysters, slaw and beans. I've always had good service from the waitresses. Has... More

Huge servings, interesting decor. The help is a little short with you but they are always in a hurry due to crowds. Everything is deep fried and if you are okay with that, this is the place to go.

To look at the place from the highway you would wonder what you will find, but that is what is intriguing about this resturant! No waiting to be seated when we arrived for dinner mid week. It has a very layed back, relaxed atmosphere and the seafood is extra special! We each had a glass of wine as no spirits... More

The quality of food has been deteriorating over the past few years. This visit proved to be my last. The beef in my chicken fried steak was unrecognizable and tasted horrible. When the waitress finally made it back to our table and asked how the food was, her only response was that she was sorry. Did nothing to attempt to... More

Clear Springs offers a variety of fish dishes, as well as other meats. I did like the fact that there is a "lite" section featuring lower calorie dishes, which are quite tasty. The building is full of country antiques, sort of like an old barn, and is a fun place to meet for lunch or dinner.
