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!

Absolutely Outstanding German Fare, another A+ Granbury Gem!…read moreWe keep coming back to Ketzler's Schnitzel Haus & Biergarten and it never disappoints! For lunch, the Reuben sandwich is hands-down one of the best I've ever had. The corned beef is incredibly tender (they pressure-cook it for hours), piled high on perfect rye with just the right amount of sauerkraut, Swiss, and dressing. It's huge and flavorful, definitely order it! For dinner, we love the Oma's Meatballs served over spätzle and topped with that rich Jäger gravy. So comforting, hearty, and packed with flavor. We've also tried their short ribs during a special brunch offering and they were fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious. Everything we've ordered--whether schnitzel, brats, pretzels, or sides has been excellent. The atmosphere is so fun and immersive with the German decor, great beer selection, and friendly service every time. We've brought friends, family, and out-of-town company here multiple times, and everyone has raved about their meal. It's become our go-to spot for hosting visitors reliable, generous portions, and always a wonderful experience. If you're in Granbury, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

Normally, I don't consider people from St. Louis to be credible deli evaluators, but I was desperate and made the hour drive to Grapevine. We got there at 11:15 and the line was nearly to the door. Within 30 minutes, it was well out into the street. That was a promising sign. The sandwich menu covered the entire wall over the counter. Lots of non-New-York sandwiches like Cubans, gyros, etc, but over in the left corner were the classic Ruebens and pastramis. I went for the latter. A REAL NY deli usually has a few soups like split pea and chicken noodle and matzoh. No soups. Bummer. They had a half dozen sides - 3 kinds of potato salads and a few slaws. I went with the German potato salad. The drink option was spartan - they tossed a styrofoam cup at me and pointed to the soda fountain. The pastrami sandwich was OK for Texas. A SUPER pastrami sandwich on hard rye can get me moaning like Meg Ryan in "When Harry Met Sally" -- only I don't have to fake it. The German potato salad was watery and bland - I should have gone with the mustard potato salad. Turnaround was on the slow side. Napkins = paper towel roll on table. Flimsy plasticware. The overall vibe was affordable utilitarian. I'll give the sandwich a 4, everything else a 3. Next time I'll drive the extra half hour to Cindi's.

Earlier this fall my husband took me to a cute little cafe in Glen Rose. I loved the way it was decorated and the food was excellent. It surprised me because the outside does not give an indication of the jewel inside. Over the Christmas holiday, I booked a baby shower with the StorieBook Cafe. The owner, Storie, was extremely helpful with the planning. The cafe provided all of the food in the perfect setting with all of the decorations! We had a cute fruit platter, cheeses with crackers, pinwheels, wraps, cake, punch, and drinks. You are now probably thinking at a outrageous price, but we had the complete shower for an outrageously low price. It was so perfect that I tipped at almost forty percent! I have never done that in my life! Storie provided a perfect baby shower. Every guest was impressed with the food and the setting. Thanks, Storie! I will be back.. read more

From the start, breakfast was solid all the way around. Seating was quick (we seated ourselves), and our waitress came over almost immediately to take drink orders. When she returned, we were ready to order--which is always a minor victory when dining with my youngest grandsons. One of them eats like a champ; the other... not so much. On this visit, hash browns were the sole winner for him. As for me, I went big. I ordered the spinach and mushroom omelet topped with hollandaise sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The breakfast also came with two large pancakes. The only minor downside was that the pancakes arrived just slightly warm--not hot. I understand they're likely made ahead and held under a heat lamp while the rest of the table's orders are finished, so it wasn't a dealbreaker, and I still enjoyed them. Overall, Cari's is a great spot for breakfast, and hopefully I won't wait another eight years before my next visit!

On to the review: First of all the salad really does need to be served cold or at least chilled, mine was served at room temperature. Taste wise it was ok, just lettuce and tomatoes with some crackers. Now, for what brought me here... The Chicken Fried Steak... while it was okay, I thought it was a bit overrated. Don't get me wrong, taste wise it was decent, but not as good as other places... I actually did like how they serve the steak on top of the gravy (which was good too) with a nice peppery taste... the mashed potatoes were pretty good, lumpy, but good.. that is just a sign that they are real. My wife had the cheese burger and the waffle fries. She said that the burger was ok, but I didn't do a review on it because I didn't try it... I did try the waffle fries and while a good flavor, I personally thought they needed to be crispyer. The staff was very friendly, especially our waitress, but I did not use her/them as part of the review because who knows if I were to ever get her again, but as a shout out, she was good.
