We stopped to charge a Tesla in the parking lot and had about 30 minutes to kill on a Friday afternoon and ended up wandering into this bar. It was the perfect neighborhood spot. Our server was so great (Sara). She overheard me say something and all of a sudden it just appeared. Super attentive. It was Halloween and music bingo night. We ended up staying for many hours. People were super nice and the bingo was so fun. I highly recommend Nico's way nachos. I would totally come back if we lived closer. read more

4.3 stars on a place is enough to get me to try them and man am I ever glad I did. For a few years I have wondered about them but never came in. Today I finally did! Walking in I can describe the ambiance in here in three words...Texas Dive Bar! I was here for lunch, so I was a little worried how much the alcohol the place serves up had affected the food reviews...but this place has legitimately really good food. I ordered the lunch special fried shrimp basket. For 9.99 I got a half dozen jumbo shrimp that breaded in some kind of deliciousness and served with fries. They were really good. My server Andrea, who also doubled as the bartender, was really good. She was upbeat and pleasant. They are definitely worth some repeat visits! Review #2057 read more

This place is everything you want in a true dive bar! Great drinks, surprisingly good food, and an awesome laid-back vibe. The bartenders are friendly, the music is always on point, and the dart board make it easy to hang out for hours. Our go-to spot for a fun, no-frills night. If you know, you know. read more

Jose is from Chicago Pilsen area and Mineral Wells. He has a variety on his menu, patty melts, salads, salmon, tacos also including sandwiches from Chicago. The famous Italian beef, chicago dogs and Polish sausage to get your fix while watching your favorite teams. Chicago Bear & Cowboy fans fill up the place during the games. read more

Stopped by for a few drinks and a quick bite to eat with a few friends, and I was more impressed with the staff and the vibe of the place. The food/drink pricing was very affordable, the protein bowl I had was fantastic, and the staff was super friendly. This place almost felt like a neighborhood bar & grill that I never had. An awesome place to hang! read more

Local (dive style) bar which also serves food. Good looking menu choices for a bar, prices look in line with other places like this. Bar like atmosphere with several TVs. Look clean and well maintained. Outside patio seating also available. Went looking for a new shrimp place for lunch (as our favor, The Catch, in Lewisville closed). Earlier, tried the Whiskey Cake, with very disappointing results (see earlier review)! Saw a Yelp review for this place (which is walking distance from our house). Had low expectations. Wow, my mistake, it was excellent!!! Some of the best Fried Shrimp I've ever had!!! So good, no pictures as we dug in immediately. 6 Jumbo butterflied Shrimp, yummy hush puppies and steak-fries served w/cocktail sauce for $12.99. Great value!!! Note: wasn't listed on the menu?!?! Service was 5 star from our server, Omery! Their service and value is 10X better than where we had lunch (mentioned earlier). We will absolutely be back, sorry we didn't realize this great place was so close to us!!! A must try!!! read more

Great service and prices. Awesome local bar. Highly recommend during happy hour and music bingo on Wednesday is fun too.

A great place to watch Bears games with Bears fans and get Chicago food. Jose is very friendly and the service is great. read more

Smells like dirty mop water. Bartender rolled her eyes before we even sat at the bar. Told us her shift was about to end (it was 3 pm), they stay open til 10 pm) We left. Just a crappy dive bar. read more

Pretty solid little spot. Good food and good variety of options, nice staff, covered patio option, and clean inside. I had the barbacoa tacos and they were pretty good. Certainly not the best but pretty tasty - and not top greasy. I opted for a side of onion rings and those were solid. My son got the grilled shrimp and I was impressed at how awesome they looked. He liked them for sure. Other folks at the table got fried chicken and it looked decent. Our server was super sweet and spread thin. I think she did a great job covering the territory. A handful of arcade games, a small pool table, and enough TVs round out the vibe. read more

We love having a bar and grill in biking distance to the house and this place has a nice patio and standard fun bar interior. I would love to give the place 5 stars because atmosphere is spot on and there are plenty of food options to accommodate different eating styles. Including healthy options - protein, veggie style plates as well as delicious bar food - wings, tacos, etc. The reason for the 1-star off is the service. It has been hit or miss the few times I've been there but keep in mind, I'm not a drinker so I'm mostly trying to get food while I'm there and try to sit outside as often as weather will allow. The service at the Bar itself may be very different and not a huge deal to most people who hang there. Either way love this location, great parking, yummy food! read more

I could cry, this place has food that taste like home. I'm so lucky to live so close to a place that has Italian beefs. If you have not had one and can't make a trip to Chicago, get one here. I believe the co owner Jose came out and served us our food and asked where I was from. (Was able to guess my heritage too LOLOL). Love it here. Will be back. Meet a lot of cute doodles too read more

We showed up on a random Wednesday night, looking for a good burger. We've lived around here for 2 years and had never been in before. YELP led us here. Little did we know that Wednesday night is "Musical Bingo" night. The DJ (Hayden) hands out sheets of paper with bingo cards printed on them. But, each square is covered by a song title. So....he plays portions of a song and if you can name it, then you mark your card if it's on it. It's a clever little promotion and there seemed to be more than a few "regulars". My wife had a BBQ burger and I had the Hatch green chili burger. Oh my!! The burgers are outstanding. A generous portion of GOOD beef, well seasoned and put on a very fresh bun. (I don't know if they're made in house, but I know they're bakery buns; NOT made by Mrs. Baird's.) The French fries were nice and crispy. The burgers seem a little bit pricey at $13.99-14.99 each, but it was an excellent burger. I also had 2 Shiner Bocks and they're only $4 each, so I guess it works out. (My wife got two meals from her burger.) Our server, Becca, was very attentive. We would definitely go back. It's a local place...nothing fancy. Some might even call it a "dive", but it's a good "dive"!! Probably has a committed local following. I would definitely recommend the burgers, though they have some other "pub grub". And DEFINITELY go on Wednesday night. The Bingo is free and they play 4 rounds. Each winner gets $20. read more

This place has grown on me since giving it a review on opening day. It is a good local dive and the beer on tap is super cold. I mean "ice floating on your beer that comes from the frosted glass" cold. That will be a really nice treat come summer. The service is friendly and the clientele is varied. I haven't eaten here yet but have heard they do a decent burger. It seems that whatever kinks they had when opening were ironed out. Here's to hoping they stick around. read more

Picked up a fresh cheeseburger and fries. One of the best burgers in a long time. Friendly and prompt service.

Wow! Best Nico's nachos ever. They make nachos INDIVIDUALLY!! Each nacho bite has the perfect portion of delicious. Salmon was also done well. My salad, although simple, was well done. We will be back. Nice find near the Grapevine Lake. We'll be back again and again!!! 5 stars!! read more

Amazing onion rings! Best in N. Texas. Highly recommend R&J's anytime you are in Grapevine. Excellent service and great locals. read more

R&J’s Bar And Grill - Best Onion Rings in N. Texas. I highly recommend ordering when Jose is in the kitchen. - Bars Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

Great meeting place for friends and family. Food is fresh and delicious. They make a killer Italian beef, plenty of appetizers and even chef specialties with authentic Mexican dishes. Fun weekday specials like " Texas Tuesday " where all Texas alcohol beverages are happy hour prices all day! Staff is so friendly and welcoming. It's perfect for game nights too! Six large screens, pool table and activities. read more

Such a great place. Came here on a layover, had several hours to kill. Great beer taps, nice environment, and they play good music. Love it! If I ever come back to Grapevine,.. I'm here. Excellent bar tender. Jesse is the best God bless Texas. read more

R&J’s Bar And Grill - Yes, they have Michelob Ultra on tap! - Bars Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

The service at RJ's is absolutely stellar. From the moment our group walked in, they gave us a personal experience and talked with us. They explained their history about the restaurant and walked us through their special, including tips on the best way to eat it! 11/10 would recommend that you try RJ's Bar and Grill. And to top it off, they took a picture and joined in with our group. Anytime we are back in the area, we are stopping here! read more

Owner and staff are always friendly, food is amazing! This is the best place to hang out in Grapevine.

I have come in multiple times and have always enjoyed the atmosphere as a Chicagoan myself. However, the server named Kayla was extremely rude and patronizing during my entire visit. She was sarcastic towards me and yelled at me while all I wanted was to listen to the SNF game versus a soccer game. I am in the service industry and understand the pressure that we hold, however the way she treated me was unwarranted and was appalling. I will never come back to this establishment again. The bartender forced closed us out because "I was having a miserable time" I am appalled and so upset that I was treated so poorly. read more

RJ's delivers a consistent experience, it's a great locals kind of place, music varies, sometimed it's hard to get a seat at the bar but the high top tables are comfortable and always available. They do have good live entertainment, trivia on certain nights and a dive bar in a good way! I highly recommend their wings and their food specials. The staff here is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended place off of Main Street in Grapevine. read more

Definitely a locals only bar...My girlfriend and I went on a Thursday night, my girlfriend asked about the frozen margaritas and the bartender lady said "yeah I only drink whiskey, I hate margaritas" Not the friendly type read more

Another no service and no acknowledgment trip to this place. Not sure what you have to do to order a drink here. read more

R&J’s Bar And Grill - Wings, mango habanero - Bars Near Me - Grapevine, Texas

This is one of the first bars in Grapevine where I would leave another bar / restaurant to come get their food & drinks. Everyone is so respectful and when there's no space at the bar - Jose is always looking out. One of my favorite spots in Grapevine. read more

Love this little neighborhood spot! Yesterday I had their hot Italian beef sandwich with homemade peppers and it was out of this world! I ate it before I took a pic it was so good. Drinks are cold and the pours are generous. Bartenders Andy and Lindsey will meet you with a smile and chat with you, which when you go and sit by yourself to get away, is important! The folks that frequent the bar and regulars and newbies alike. R&J are always around keeping things running and checking on guests. I can't sY enough good things. Big food portions, too! read more

Nicely refurbished from the previous owner or setup. Service was very good. Frozen Margarita had good flavor and wasn't too sweet. Menu had a couple of salads and grilled fish choices, but this is mostly a fried food place with a Cajun bent. Good value in general with lots of sports screens. Without a doubt this is a good local hangout spot. read more

Great friendly staff, great fried pork skins! Great jalapeño poppers. Catfish is good. Everything I have had was great!

Man, I love a good bar and grill, and this is a good, Comfortable bar and grill. Cold beer, yummy margs, friendly atmosphere, and the food is great. We had 2 burgers, the fried appetizer, and quesobirria tacos. The burgers were fresh and flavorful, fries were hot and well seasoned. On the fried app, the mushrooms and cheese sticks were pretty par for the course, but the jalapeños had a vinegar bite that was welcomed. The tacos were great-well seasoned consommé, stretchy cheese, tender beef, super delicious salsa on the side. Will be coming back!! read more

awesome staff and food ...never had anything bad there. Jose is just awesome with cooking and customer service

So weird to post a review on the delicious food at a sports bar, but here I go. The husband is from Chicago and incredibly picky about Chicago dogs and he just inhaled two here. Jose flies the ingredients in from Chicago and they were perfection. I had the salmon and broccoli and they were delicious. To top it off, the server must be one of the nicest people I've ever met. ( Unfortunately I forgot his name, not happy about that, but I blame the wine) Also we don't normally take our kids to bars, but not much else was open at this odd hour and they were so kind. They loved the hotdogs/tacos/lemonade. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Lackluster burger. I'm writing this review because I do not understand how this bar/restaurant got over four stars which is what brought me in. Beef patty was dense, machine-formed and dry. A "rich chuck" is definitely not an accurate description. I was told it would be medium to medium-well but it was well done. I wouldn't call the bun "brioche." Fries were pretty good. I'm all for a dive if the food is great, but it wasn't so I won't be back. read more

Took 45 minutes to get first drink, when we approached the owner to get help, he called us liars. Horrible service, server wouldn't even take a food order. Kept making excuses why she needed to "be right back" read more

My husband and I ate here last week and were blown away with my hometown favorites. We both had the Chicago Dog and french fries but we couldn't leave without trying the Italian Beef. Both were delicious and authentic Chicago food. Staff and owner Jose were very friendly. We will definitely be back soon! read more
