Jeane DodsonJanuary 4, 2014The chicken fried chicken was awesome! Also loved the round cut fries and poblano pasta salad!
J McJuly 3, 2014Must get Greune wing appetizer and save room for dessert . Strawberry shortcake or ML special!!!!
Martha GarciaMarch 27, 2010Sit outdoors and soak in the atmosphere. I'm a fan of their grilled chicken sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. Also, if you want to indulge get the chicken fried chicken! It's fantastic!
Kevin GrahamJanuary 6, 2019Bone in chicken 5 stars. Texas size onion rings 5 stars, huge plate, like enough for 8 people. Ribs 2 stars, very dry, sauce was lame.
Marshal GleasonAugust 9, 2014You can't go wrong with anything here. The place is amazing every time!
Lizzie SmithsonJanuary 15, 2012We had the poblano quesadillas and the bacon shrimp pasta and it was PHENOMENAL. The deck has an amazing view
Al JimJune 3, 2013Great service, the fried "chicken" tastes amazing, and the ambience is pretty nice
Nicole LackieDecember 3, 2012It's beautiful & so homey. Beautiful lights & the onion rings are wild!
Awesome view from the upper deck. The german chocolate cake is great.
Ryan&KarenMarch 9, 2017food, tastes good but no recipes that were out of ordinary great, average but the environment is fabulous! Cool ambience
Please remember that servers only make $2.13 an hour so you should tip accordingly!! Try the ribs they are to die for!!
The BEST ribs. Not on the menu but ask for them, you will not be disappointed
Crystal HarmonMay 17, 2011The "best" wurst is not the best. Good but definitely not the best. On the other hand, the Jack Daniels pecan pie is awesome! Get it a la mode!
Ramona BoytonJuly 22, 2015Looks like it's just as good as it was when I lived there in the '80s. I miss the great food.
Athena ArmylagosJuly 16, 2013The tomatillo verde sauce is the bomb diggity!!! Chips and salsa all the way!
Paige VaughnMarch 27, 2013Order the chicken poblano quesadillas as your meal and add onions rings! DELISH.
Terri ReedJuly 9, 2019Y’all this place is fun and has character, but is it too much to ask for air conditioning in 2019?
Joanne B.November 8, 2012Love this place - they're not on the regular menu, but the ribs are DELICIOUS.
Conrad HametnerAugust 25, 2011Try the Gruene Bros. ‘Best’ Wurst Falls City, Texas Polish Wedding Sausage, as an appetizer it is excellent!
Ryan WardMarch 28, 2011The ribs are a joke! So damn good it doesn't even seem possible. BBQ sauce is great, and green beans are the bomb!
Meagan SchexnayderMarch 2, 2016Shrimp Brochette was good, the bacon could have been cooked more though.
Justin BradyDecember 9, 2011The bone-in ribeye steak was DELICIOUS, as was the spinach artichoke dip!
Caitlyn KlementFebruary 11, 2012Great, and I mean GREAT chicken fried steak! Onion rings are awesome too!
