I have lived in La Vernia for 10 years and the first thing I am asked when I say that I live here is, "Have you eaten at Witte's?" The answer is yes, twice! It was awful. The barbecue tasted like it had been sitting out on the stove all day, dry and unappealing. The decor was... if you want to call the hodgepodge of old Luby chairs, etc, decor, then it was not so good. The bathroom was the worse! I almost lost my lunch just going in there. We went back one more time to try those wonderful steaks we kept hearing about, but they were not good either. I will admit that we have not been back in about 5 years, so maybe they have made some improvements. They had no where to go, but up because it was one of the worst restaurants that I have been to. Sorry! I know a lot of people in La Vernia love it.
Review Source:As a resident of La Vernia, I've traveled past this restaurant frequently but never stopped in until May 2012. Â The parking lot is frequently full, always a good sign for a restaurant.
My wife and I made a point of stopping by for lunch. Â From the wait stafff (a nice touch for a BBQ place), I ordered the brisket plate and my wife ordered the fish. Â I noticed after ordering that lots of folks were eating fish so it may have been the lunch special on this day.
To make a long story short, the fish was excellent. Â Yes, I stole a small piece of fish from my wife. Â :-) Â She didn't mind. Â The plate was overflowing with fish, fries, slaws, etc. Â
Back to the brisket plate, hmmm, not so good. Â Actually the brisket was adequate -- nice texture, pretty tender, nice smoke ring. Â Fortunately, the BBQ sauce was served on the side because it was AWFUL! Â My wife also sampled the brisket and she also disliked the sauce. Â The sides were good and in good proportions.
To ensure that I provide an unbiased report, my wife and I will eat at Witt's again soon and will update this review with those results.
Steak is great but my favorite is their ham sandwich which is a huge piece of ham. Service has always been good and they have plenty of sides to choose from. Â They have everything from chicken fried steak to barbque. Â The only thing I dont like is all their vegtables are sweetened carrots, green bean both loaded with sugar. Â But over all their food is pretty good!!
Review Source:Sorry not much good to say here. Found other reviewers good ratings an incentive to try this place but maybe they were having a off day. Ordered the rib plate and the barbecue plate. The barbecue sauce on both was terrible. Â Catsup watered down with vinegar. Corn,as a side, that must have come from an industrial strength can. Ribs that were grossly overcooked to the point of being tough and stringy. Cold beans. No need to go on. Maybe this place is only good for burgers. Avoid the 'que.
Review Source:Visited on 5/14/09. What's nice about Wittes is you don't have to stand in line to order. You go in sit where you want and they wait on you. I went for lunch, chosing it because of the full parking lot. There was a good 60-70 patrons. Always a good sign. It was very clean, yet simple. I didn't observe any houseflies, which is one reason I don't like Rudys. The food was awesome. I had the beef plate. I also ordered beef, ribs, and sausage to go. Prices are very reasonable and portions were ample. I don't get out this way often, but if I do, I will be back.
