    I love this place! Everyone that works there are awesome! I enjoy performing my poetry and sharing stories on and off stage. The strength comes from the top, you know the trickle down effect. For example, today after my performance I sashayed over to the wurst food truck to pick up my food and I was great with a smile from the owner elbow deep in fry's dogs and in the pit! Rarely do I see owners jump in to help the team in the trenches... I reckon I recommend this joint!

    American brat, bbq nachos, frozen spicy margarita with tajin, and an ipa beer.

    Great little spot and the food was fantastic for a food truck. The frozen margarita was on point. I had the bartender add some jalapeños and it hit the spot. We had the brat and the bbq nachos. We will definitely be back! This place is outside and they are more of a bar/hangout spot at night. Good spot for a quick affordable lunch!

    A friend and I recently decided to meet at Gruene Grove as it was close to being the halfway point between us (Austin and San Antonio). When I arrived (6PM on a Friday), it was a bit difficult to find parking at first as they only have a small lot, but I was able to find a spot in the Gruene Grill lot next to it within 5 minutes. The venue itself was already pretty crowded but that made it even more fun- everyone was socializing and having a good time. Seating is limited, but if you wait just a bit - you can snag a table. I liked the open air patio and the way everything was laid out- such a cute place. The young lady checking IDs at the front and all of the bartenders were extremely friendly and happy to help with whatever you needed. I ordered a Deep Eddy Lime Vodka w/ Club Soda and my friend ordered a Dos Equis - we got them quickly and they were great (as to be expected). Live music began around 7PM and was good as well. The music was a bit loud so it was hard to talk to my friend but we enjoyed being there regardless. We will definitely be back!

    Great place just wish they'd learn how to dispay their Texas flag the right way

    One of our favorite places to go . Outdoors, great music. . The San Antonio Blues society holds its jam here. Dog friendly ( a big plus) water bowls available for your pup. Reasonable drinks . Great food truck on site. Friendly people. Gotta try it when you're visiting Gruene

    After a show at the Gruene Hall, we wandered around town and stopped by the Gruene Grove. The Grove has indoor and outdoor options for eating and drinking or just relaxing. We opted to head to cellar for the speakeasy. It was a nice place to cool off on a humid evening and enjoy some craft cocktails. Drinks were good with a generous pour although not inexpensive by any means. The atmosphere is fun and there was a guitar performer just leaving as we came in so you can catch live music in the speakeasy apparently. Recommended.

    If you're looking for a relaxing place to listen to live music, this is the place. It is an outdoor venue so be prepared for the weather. When it is cooler out, they have fires going so it's not a problem. They don't serve food but there is a food truck that has items available. I haven't tried that yet so can't review the food. The bar is well stocked, but they do not have table service so you do need to go to the bar for drinks. A great spot in Gruene TX.

    The Gruene Grove is a lovely outdoor bar that is next door to the Gristmill. I ordered a Bloody Mary with Tajin on the rim and it was delicious. My only concern is that I wish they had bigger tables.

    The band takes a break...

Creative without being overdone, and clearly built with intention. I went for the Old Fashioned flight, which featured bourbon, rye, mezcal, and rum variations (they let me tailor it to my spirit interests) each one distinct, balanced, and actually worth slowing down to compare. It's not just a gimmick; it's a thoughtful way to showcase how versatile a single cocktail can be. Service matched the quality of the drinks as they were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without feeling forced. You can tell they care about what they're serving. The vibe is what really seals it. Lively but not chaotic, polished but still relaxed. It feels like a place you can settle into, whether you're starting the night or lingering for one more round. Didn't expect to find one of the better cocktail bars in the area out here, but this one absolutely delivers...and then some.

Every drink is handcrafted by the bartenders, and you can tell -- they're incredibly well-made, creative, and definitely stronger than what you'll get at most places.

We came to Cowboys & Cadillacs as it seemed like a cool place to go. They have dinning inside. But outside roof top there is a huge stage, and big fire pit. The second level is more seating and a bar. A lot of people were out. A couple "brides to be" with their party were out too. The band was good. Ordered a blueberry mojito. Very nice. Also ordered their flat bread pizza. Loved the bbq sauce that was on it. And picked jalapeños. Great night over all.

We had high hopes as the pimento cheese dip was fantastic, but that was short lived. The parisa is so expensive for one of the smallest portions and had essentially no taste. An $18 1/4 cup serving of parisa should have great flavor considering you can get fresh parisa from many local butchers with high quality ingredients for $10 a pound. The salmon croquettes were okay, but again, not worth the price. The service was some of the worst service we all have ever experienced. The waitress was nice, but very distracted and seemed to not care a whole lot about anything. She had 4 tables and we all were bonding over her lack of attentiveness throughout the night. It took over an hour to order our entrees and we all wished we would've just stopped at the appetizers and cocktails. The food was extremely hit or miss. My friend enjoyed her ribs and mashed potatoes and another enjoyed her pork chop. Everyone else had raw, undercooked meats, ranging from ribeye to chicken, and food that was not at the appropriate temperature. It was evident that the food had been sitting in the back waiting to be picked up and served to us. My Caesar salad with steak was truly the worst salad I've ever had, especially at a $22 price point. The lettuce was completely saturated with dressing and dripping everywhere. You could hardly see the lettuce itself because there was too much dressing. The $10 add on steak was unevenly cooked and came with literally 4 pieces of cut meat that was extremely salty that I could only eat one piece. And, the salad was served warm and was not crispy or cold. The burger was underwhelming and the meat was flavorless with two extremely thin patties. The best part of the dish were the fries, but they also weren't cooked thoroughly or seasoned well. The waitress noticed that I had not eaten much of the salad and asked if I liked it. I politely told her no and I didn't want to make a big deal about it. She asked what was wrong with it and I explained all of the aforementioned reasons. She said that was not okay and she would be back. She came back 20+ minutes later after our party tried to track her down to pay with failed attempts and asked me if I wanted the salad comp'd. I told her that she should follow whatever their procedures are and she replied that her manager told her to come talk to me because it's my decision whether or not I want the salad comp'd. I found this odd and unprofessional and again said that it is up to their management to operate to their protocols. The salad did get comp'd but we will definitely not be back to dine. At this point, we had reservations for the rooftop and it was equally as poor service if not worse. It is evident they do not have a clear system of how to let their servers know if they have a table seated or if someone needs something. While the location is beautiful and it has so much potential, the poor service and overall poor food make this place a complete waste of money and a 100% pass. There are plenty of phenomenal restaurants in the downtown area that are cheaper with higher quality meals and great service. Do not come here.

You go way to the back and down a steep flight of stairs. My son, his wife, and I left my wife and grandbaby in the saloon and headed down. When you get down there, you are suddenly in a beautiful Tiki bar with so many amazing things to gawk at. It sort of felt like waking up in OZ. We were the first people there, so we got to sit at the bar and watch our drinks being made. They have about 15 or so different specialty tiki drinks. Each one comes in a particular piece of glassware. I don't know how the bartender keeps them straight. He was constantly pouring different things into a shaker. Then he would shake it and pour it into the glass that was already filled with crushed ice. One of the drinks even had a smoking cinnamon stick. My drink was really good. It was the Three Dots and a Dash. It came in a barrel and was decorated with a skull toothpick that had three cherries and a piece of pineapple to represent the dots and dash. It was super strong! I was ready to risk it all and go for another drink, but it had gotten packed inside the bar. We could tell the bartender was stressing. They really need two for times like that. My wife spends the night at my son's house in New Braunfels every Thursday to give them a date night. Evidently, this is where they always go. I can certainly see why!
