    Chicken Fried steak yum

    Good homecoming with a friendly family feel. Non smoking as of 2/1/2026! I'd come back again. They do need to update the bathrooms thus the 4 star.

    Real down home cooking and atmosphere! Great, quick service! Very cool news clippings and knickknacks on the walls to check out as well...

    We tried Mary's for breakfast. It was decent. We got seated right away and got coffee and water fast. We started out by sharing a cinnamon roll. It was just okay. A bit dry. My wife had the BEC (bacon, egg, cheese) sandwich. It came with chips. She enjoyed it. I got the Eggs with CFS (chicken fried steak) breakfast. I got sourdough toast and hash browns with it. I added a bit of salt to the CFS and I really enjoyed the entire meal. We're planning on returning to try their all-you-can-eat seafood (Thu, Fri, Sat nights) soon.

    Mary's Brazos!

    Been to Mary's Brazos twice in the last two weeks- both times taking out-of-town family visitor's. Me: "Feel like some amazing home cooking?" Them: " yea... chicken fried steak!" Me: "I know just the place!" Over the top food! Best Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes, gravy, and fried okra in Texas! Green beans great, too! Brother liked the baked sweet potato!

    Three egg Western omelet

    Second time eating at this little food heaven. This omelet is absolutely delicious. Staff is so friendly as well.

    My wife and I recently made our second visit to Rio Brazos Grill, and the entire experience was…read moreexcellent. We don't think of it as often as we should because it is a bit of a drive outside Granbury, but this dinner reminded us that it is well worth the trip. We started by sharing the bacon and poblano jumbo lump crab cake. It was beautifully prepared, flavorful and an excellent beginning to the meal. I ordered the 6-ounce beef tenderloin prepared medium, with asparagus and half of a twice-loaded baked potato. The tenderloin was wonderful--extremely tender, remarkably flavorful and cooked exactly as requested. Wife ordered the Red Snapper A La Plancha. It was seared and served over wild rice and sautéed asparagus, then topped with roasted-corn salad and lemon beurre blanc. I don't typically consider myself a fan of red snapper, but after trying a bite of hers, I had to admit it was delicious. We finished with a bite or two each from the chocolate ganache plate, which was the perfect ending without being too much. What made the evening especially memorable was our server, Cynthia. To our surprise, we recognized her from La Crêperie in Granbury, where she previously cooked and presented special dinners. Cynthia is French, extremely knowledgeable about food and genuinely enjoyable to visit with. Her warmth, personality and attentive service elevated an already excellent meal. If you visit Rio Brazos, I strongly encourage you to ask for Cynthia. Great service can transform a good dinner into a memorable evening, and that is exactly what she did for us. Rio Brazos offers upscale food in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, with thoughtful presentation, quality ingredients and outstanding service. It may be a little outside town, but it is absolutely worth the drive. Rio Brazos Grill--and Cynthia--earned every one of these five stars.

    The rumors are true Rio Brazos Grill is fantastic. Not "good for a small town," not "surprisingly…read moredecent" just flat-out good. The kind of place where it's immediately obvious someone in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing, which already puts it ahead of most restaurants pretending to. The meal starts strong with flash-fried calamari Fresno chilies, sweet chili sauce, balanced heat, and a clean execution. It comes as strips, which feels a little safe. Rings or whole baby squid would've shown more technical confidence, but fine the flavor still delivers, and at the end of the day, that's what people actually remember. The Calabria chili shrimp follows with the same sense of control: spicy, but not trying to prove a point. Paired with grilled baguette, it does exactly what it's supposed to do support the dish instead of getting in the way. And then there's the Chicken Fried Ribeye, which sounds like a bad decision until you eat it. Crispy on the outside, rich and tender underneath, covered in black pepper gravy with buttermilk mashed potatoes, a potato nest, and because apparently restraint is optional--two fried quail eggs. It's excessive, but not stupid. That's a very fine line, and they walk it well. Chef Clint Connaway clearly has classical training--nobody just stumbles into a proper beurre blanc. The menu pulls from Southwestern, Native American, Mexican and French influences, which should feel chaotic but somehow doesn't. It works because the execution is consistent, even when the ideas get a little ambitious. That said, the place isn't perfect. The quail eggs show up so often they start to feel less like a signature and more like a habit. And for all the technical skill, there's a noticeable lack of local identity. With Bosque Ranch right down the road, it's hard not to wonder why more local beef isn't front and center. A stronger focus on seasonal or locally sourced ingredients would push this from great to something more grounded--something that actually tastes like where you are. And then there's the obvious question: why no brunch? A kitchen like this could absolutely dominate a brunch service. Instead, it's just... not happening, which feels like wasted potential. Still, none of that changes the core truth. The food is thoughtful, the technique is real, and most importantly you leave feeling satisfied instead of questioning your life choices. That alone is worth something.

    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

    Years ago, the Texas Bucket List TV show is what brought me to Mae's Meat Market. After all these…read moreyears, we are still coming here because the food is so good. We have tried several different burgers, the chicken fried steak, and the tacos. All have been just wonderful. Tonight, I had the steak fingers with grilled vegetables and steamed broccoli. The steak fingers were absolutely huge, and the grilled vegetables and steamed broccoli were just fantastic. Nothing is better than a steak finger dipped in a big old bowl of white homemade gravy! I was only able to eat half, so there was definitely leftovers. And since I was so full, that means dessert had to be to go. Most places now charge seven or eight dollars for a piece of cake. Here, you can still get a piece of cake for four dollars! Heck of a deal! If you're ever in Eastland Texas, I definitely recommend you give this place a try.

    Absolutely Outstanding Dining on the Square - Christina's Never Disappoints!…read moreChristina's has become one of our absolute favorite restaurants in Granbury. The location right on the square is perfect, and the ambiance is warm and inviting, ideal for a special night out or a celebratory dinner. The food is consistently excellent. The Chilean sea bass is a standout, perfectly cooked every time. The seared scallops are wonderful, with a beautiful crust and tender inside. I've had the salmon multiple times and it's always nicely seared on the outside and wonderfully tender and flaky. For appetizers, the pear & Brie crostini is a must-order sweet, savory, and absolutely delicious. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and service more than justify it. This is a busy spot (especially on weekends), so reservations are highly recommended. From start to finish, everything about Christina's feels special. Attentive service, beautiful plates, and food that tastes like it was made with care. If you're in Granbury, make the time to eat here -- you won't regret it. We'll definitely be back again soon! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
