If you happen to find yourself in the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop and wake up hungry. Stroll on over to the Firewheel.
I am a sucker for buffets - I love to taste a bit of everything which always results in lots of waste (sad) but my taste buds leave happy..
If you wake in the AM you can get eggs, bacon, waffles, fresh fruit and cereal bar, milk, juice, pastries and lots more. The only thing I missed by choosing the buffet was The Poached Eggs over Asparagus, Spinach, tomatoes and Ham menu item...
Go for a 4 hour hike and return for Lunch Buffet: salad bar with lots of veggies and nuts, beef and chicken fajita meat with all the fajita fixins including black beans and refried and lots of deserts.
I must add I was highly impressed that they serve Starbucks in a French Press....
Good Food and Happy Memories here... -

My wife and I spent a restful weekend getaway at the resort and enjoyed our dinner at the Firewheel on our first night. That night, the buffet menu offered a rich array of salad choices, seasoned rice, fish (both cooked and cerviche), chicken and beef fajitas, and pork loin at the carving station. There were other things on the buffet bar too, but those are the items I honed in on. It was all good and fresher than most buffet spreads. The rolls were delivered to the table hot with room-temperature butter (a nice touch) to spread.
The dessert bar was quite impressive as well with plenty of choices that ranged from homemade cookies, to baklava, to cobbler, to cakes - you get the drift. A chocolate fountain to accompany plates of marshmallows, strawberries, and pineapples was the proverbial icing on the cake. Unfortunately, I noticed some kids putting their fingers in the fountain after I'd eaten my chocolate covered marshmallows - I only hope they were only ones. -

Not my favorite place to eat but we are captive audience there. The breakfast is great. The pancakes are light and fluffy. Dinner leaves little to be desired. It was Tex Mex night Friday and I think my sleep away camp could do better. Very disappointed. They have a nice cheese and cold meat selection but there was no seafood. Also, as progressive as Austin is, I think they are missing a gran opportunity to feature local meats and organic selections. Chicken nuggets? Please aren't we fat enough in this country? Chefs you can do better that that!

Nice breakfast buffet. Nothing special about the dinner. I give 3 stars because of breakfast and the well lit lay out.

Great food, wonderful omelets. Cook "Eddy" went out of his way to serve specially designed pancakes for the children, delicious. He was so nice and the kids looked forward to his expertise every morning.
