The Bee Cave Bee

Boo!

Everyone needs to go have one (at least) last lunch at Sprinhill. Carol Humphries (the owner) has been very generous over the years to the community and school district when it comes to donations for our events.

Iconic is a good word to describe Springhill. We've been eating here since we moved to Lakeway in 1989. In fact. we just ate their last Sunday. I have countless memories of playing "I spy" with my 3 kids (2 in college and 1 a senior at LTHS) with all the objects in the restaurant. I think I have the place memorized. The advertising on the tables was usually a topic a conversation with Kimberly Wimberly and Mr. Cable, the dish satellite installer, being a couple of highlights. The friendly family atmosphere was an escape from the hustle and bustle of the ever growing area. Our favorites are the catfish (of course), shrimp (best in the area IMHO), hushpuppies, and the Spinghill salad with fried chicken. Yum! No other restaurant in the Lake Travis area comes close to offering that special combination (some may point to Boathouse Grill). I'm really sad to see it go. I guess the old proverb is true... All good things must come to an end.

Another bank!? Where do I get my fried catfish platter now?

I love that place!

Who needs another stupid bank here. Nobody does catfish and shrimp like Springhill. And it's such a great place too. What a disappointment.

IF YOUR LOOKING TO EASE YOUR SEAFOOD CRAVINGS, ONCE SPRINGHILL GOES OUT...WE FOUND A GREAT PLACE..IT'S ACROSS MANSFIELD DAM ON 620, IT'S CALLED BOATHOUSE GRILL, WE EVEN THINKG IT'S BETTER THAN SPRINGHILL, PLUS THEY HAVE A PLAYSCAPE OUT BACK FOR THE KIDS, AND SOME NIGHTS LIVE MUSIC.

Please find another spot
We need our catfish!

Springhill owners clearly chose this path. They simply got an offer they couldn't refuse and took the cash and ran. I look at this as a windfall for a deserving small business owner who earned the chance to cash out. The area had outgrown the restaurant and that hard corner needed to be wiped out and redeveloped. Good for them... Now please take out that ugly jack brown cleaners.

The owners of Springhill DO NOT own the property. They have always rented there. They had a long lease, but the property was sold a couple of years ago. Carol knew the end was near, and being in his 70's, he is OK with the situation. I, for one, am sorry to see it go.

I think we need another mattress store desparately!

The city of Bee Caves desperately needs a bank and bed combo store.
this would be a perfect solution for me on the days when I need to do both banking and bed shopping.

Thank you

An independent pharmacy would be perfect at this spot.
