I'm sad to say that with 2 ownership changes the place just isn't the same. I've had 4 straight mediocre at best meals. Chicken Fried Turkey was dry and flavorless. Chicken Fried Steak was over-breaded and tasteless. And the last time in, on my birthday no less, my GF and I both got steak and they were what you might get at a place that doesn't serve steak. To top it all off we were both in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Steve, please come back and rescue the Texaz Grill. Until that happens I won't be going back read more

As much as I like the TexAz grill for their chicken fried steak, I got a little perturbed when I learned that they charged me a $3.00 up-charged when I ordered the chicken fried steak from the children's menu. When one is 80, that is all an appetite allows. With that said, the meal was great and Holly was a delightful server. read more

This place is amazing. I was looking up steakhouses near me and found this place on Yelp. The food is really, really good (I got the 'chicken fried goodness' sampler platter, chicken fried steak, chicken, and pork, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn). I got coleslaw and a biscuit on the side. My server, Mary, was very friendly and helpful. The food is served in HUGE portions. This goes for the hot fudge sundae also, which might be the biggest and best value sundae I've ever had. It's the little things here that stand out: not one, not two, but three different servers talking to me and helping me at various points. A table caddy with every kind of hot sauce, honey, and other thing you could want. Them bringing me out a sample of one of the meat dishes I was thinking about so I could try it. Amazing food quality. Great ambience and decor. Wonderful service. LOW prices (I'm not sure how these guys make money, the prices are so low). Mary, Sherry, Cassie!! Thank you all for a great experience! Go here, folks. And then thank me after. read more

Saturday was our fourth visit here. The service is great and food has been excellent each time. This time I had the chicken fried chicken, with mashed potatoes. She had the rib-eye with mashed potatoes. Both had a salad. Holly was awesome! The portions are are good size. We have had the desserts on previous visits, this time we were too full. Would recommend giving this a place a try. read more

Fantastic food and service. Best chicken fried steak in Arizona. Huge helpings. Always need a takeout box.

Always my go to place for authentic REAL chicken fried steak in Phoenix and maybe the best in all of Arizona. And I'm verrrrry picky about my CFS! I'm a Dallas transplant and it tastes like home. HUGE portions, even on lunch special. Only $15 including the perfect sweet tea. Better value than a fast food burger and similarly priced. read more

This is indeed a spot to check out. If you're looking for southern, Texas style food this is a place to be in Arizona. This establishment is particularly popular amongst many locals and there's a good reason why. The chicken fried steak here is great. read more

We have driven by here a ton and always said we have to stop by- and we finally did. I regret not coming in earlier!! This place is the real deal. The food is absolutely delightful. Being from the south, we like to think that we know good country cooking and this place has it all. We absolutely devoured the chicken fried steak, ribeye, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans and peach cobbler. We left absolutely stuffed but can not wait to come back-- hopefully for Sunday Brunch! Inside decor is very cute, and kitschy in a good way. Our server was incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone we interacted with was so sweet and kind. Love this place! read more

Tried Texaz Grill again after Covid. I was in the area and thought about those Chicken Fried Steaks. I arrived at about 11:30 and there were three full tables. Texaz Grill sported the full Texas decor and country music I had remembered. I ordered their famous Chicken Fried Steak, which came to $14.95 plus tax and tip. Texaz Grill has been known for their huge CFS and my plate was overflowing with a crispy CFS, corn and mashed potatoes. Sadly, about 1/3 of my CFS was just batter. The gravy was very pedestrian, so, between that and the excessive batter to meat ratio, I couldn't say that it was my 'best in the world' CFS. read more

Just what you want and expect from a Texas joint. Everything fried is great, and their gravy is honestly delicious. Not super salty or even heavy, if you can believe it. Unpretentious, straight up, comfort food. Super friendly staff. I had the chicken fried chicken and it was HUGE. My mom loved her fried cod. read more

Lived the old school vibe. Steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Fun servers. I'll be coming back.

Great hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Great staff and food. Chicken fried steak is highly recommended!

Boyfriend took me here recently as he was watching a friend's pet in the area and TEXAZ was one of the options he gave me. Good thing as I had just finished a gym challenge and wanted a good meal to celebrate. It wasn't busy when we arrived so we had choice of where to sit. While the menu isn't terribly extensive, it was definitely hard to pick what to order. Their service was quick and she basically picked my meal for me since I was so indecisive. Chicken fried chicken meal it was! And when you order slaw as a side, consider it a massive house side salad when it arrives before your meal- honestly could be a meal in of itself with chicken. I couldn't finish my meal sadly, thank Lord for to go boxes. #FunFact the house gravy comes in a coffee cup when you order it on the side. Like soup. read more

On Halloween we called to make sure they were open normal business hours and the girl we talked to said yes, open until 9. We got there around 8:15. We tried to pull open the doors and they were locked... Understandable if they want to close early for a holiday but, we had called to check so it was a super disappointing experience to have went out of the way to call and check, drive there, and then been lied to. Doubly disappointed because I had been dreaming about the food all evening and had excitedly told the neighbors where we were going after festivities. Called the next day to talk to a manager because I was so dissatisfied and the first one we talked to was very understanding and said the manager on duty the night before would give us a call later to make it right. He never did, so I called the restaurant back later that evening thinking perhaps they had forgotten and asked to speak to a manager and the girl on the phone asked if this was about the Halloween incident... Why would another staff member who wasn't a manager know about this unless they had been talking about it to other staff??? I made sure to only tell a manager about the experience. It's very disrespectful that the staff had been talking about us... very unprofessional. Nonetheless was then transferred to the manager who had been working the night previously. Told him the experience and he couldn't have sounded more bothered to listen to me. He also lied to me. Said that they had locked the doors at 8:30 bc it was slow. I remember checking the time on my phone. I don't go to restaurants 30 mins before closing unless it's to go because I work in the industry. It was 8:20 when I looked at my phone after trying the door because we had a quick smoke before trying to go inside. All I got was a, "sorry we disappointed you". Normally when a restaurant makes a mistake on their end they offer some sort of apology gesture to promote a good relationship and we received nothing on the promise that they would make it right. Overall very very bad customer service perhaps the worst I've gotten in the valley. So sad because the food is so good but it was not an enjoyable experience to be made to feel like a burden, the staff talking about the experience when they should have never known, have been lied to twice, and then received nothing after everything to bring our business back after such a poor experience. Was craving them so bad that night but now I don't think I'll ever crave them again. Had heard they were under new management...and it shows. read more

Can't go wrong at this place, its all good, wish I could go more often. Great service and price aren't to high.

Food and service were wonderful! Owner was extremely kind. I loved the vibe of the place. All 5 of my family members were 100 percent satisfied. Took home so much food. Portions are huge and price is great! We went on valentines day. Place was packed but didn't disrupt the service at all. Wonder place to enjoy with the family! read more

My boyfriend and I went in and had their prime rib, which was excellent cooked exactly how we wanted it to be. We had reservations and we seated right away. Our server and others came and checked on us quite a bit. The server was very knowledgeable. The restaurant was particularly quiet on this Sunday and it just seems like a hometown kind of restaurant very western I would go back 100%. read more

When in TexAZ do as the locals do - order their signature Chicken Fried Steak! Served with mashed potatoes and smothered in country gravy! Woo saaa that'll stick to your ribs goodness! But this massive culinary experience is so big they layer it double decker style! Ginormous portions of Southern deliciousness! Love the vintage TX, AZ, western vibe decor. Next time I will leave room and try either their peach cobbler or pecan pie! Yummy read more

I think this is our third time here. We know a few people who always rave about this place, and we keep thinking maybe it will get better. Maybe we were there on an off night. But I must conclude after this visit that this isn't really the case. Some folks clearly do love it, but I am totally underwhelmed. Our table this time ordered the southern pork chop, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, and smoked prime rib. Some of this we had previously, some was new. First the chicken-fried steak. I believe I commented last time that it was mostly breading, and not very flavorful. That is still the case. Without the gravy it has no flavor at all. I would expect some from the breading, but it just wasn't there. Denny's makes a better one. I am not kidding. The southern pork chop is basically a chicken-fried pork chop. This one was pretty good because there was more meat than breading, and so I could taste the pork. The breading and gravy worked well with it, but it was still lacking any real flavor to distinguish it from other restaurants. The chicken-fried chicken was similar to the pork. More meat, and you could taste the meat, but the "chicken-fried" aspect is totally lacking. The smoked prime rib was easily the best dish we ordered. The au jus was a bit salty, but it was a very smoky and flavorful hunk of meat. Portions are reasonably large, though for some reason they have reduced the size of their plates. We compared to our old photos and it was obvious. Seems silly to me to cram the same amount of food onto a smaller plate. The "fries" were actually large chunks of potato that were not seasoned in any way. The outer bit was fried, but the rest was like a baked potato. The mashed potatoes were just mashed. No garlic or anything. The cajun seasoning on the table helps. And the salads were not very popular among those who ordered them. So all in all a very expensive, and very disappointing dining experience. We have their punch cards, and they're half full. But we have no plan to return and so will likely just toss the cards in the trash. read more

Found this little gem on Yelp. I LOVE a good country fried steak, so I had to try it. Came in with my family and were promptly greeted and were seated within 5 mins. Loved the fun decor. Our server Devin was very friendly and explained the menu to us when I mentioned it was our first time here. Our drinks came out promptly followed by our salads and BISCUITS!

Awesome chicken fried steak , maybe the best I ever had and I make it a point to try it any where a restaurant offers it

I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally made it in. I was severely let down, the food had no flavor, even the Arnold Palmer was tasteless. Especially my chicken fried steak, it had no flavor, the breading was very thick, and even undercooked in some areas read more

Fabulous fabulous fabulous!!! The food here is just indescribable, it is drool worthy!!!!! Down home comfort food to the max! We had chicken fried steak, (which by the way they have the very best chicken fried steak you could ever experience and the quantity so huge it will serve two people two meals!) make sure to ask for extra gravy to take home so you have enough for your leftovers! Comes with skin on mashed potatoes, And a really nice fresh salad with chopped up green olives and ranch dressing. We also had corn, fried shrimp, amazing coleslaw, homemade biscuits, and for appetizers we had fried okra with an amazing dipping sauce and macaroni and cheese! Then... For dessert we had homemade peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream They have made some nice improvements and changes inside but still keeping the fun eclectic look with lots of neon signs & baseball hats & trophy animals on the wall, it's really fun- All of the staff are incredibly friendly and warm and helpful and just make you feel good I give Texaz 10 stars read more

We made a reservation and drove 45 min to eat here for Father's Day. Drink orders were taken and the waitress brought them, then we didn't see her again. 40 min later, she came and took the order of the people next to us who came in after us. Good food, bad service. Ended up eating fast food instead of what Dad requested for Father's Day. Not cool. read more

Amazing amazing! My bartender was awesome and he was the one that also took my order. I came in and my order wasn't ready so I asked if I could sit at the bar. At first the greeter was a little skeptical of me because to be honest the restaurant gives a 'certain' feel. It's very 'Texas'... anyways I wanted to give it a try because I love steak and prime rib. My bartender was nice and attentive. The food was delicious and hot!! Don't judge the outside/inside look. They were very nice people read more

Visited again after a few years and am glad we did. All servers were so friendly and attentive. Beer Ice cold, food plentiful and tasty. I love a place with some history and this one had it - Casual and comfortable. Great Chicken Fried Chicken. Smashed Potatoes were basic but good with the gravy. Cole Slaw was bit diff from any I have had, but I really liked it. The fresh hot biscuits were some of the best I have had. We will be back. read more

Recommend by a friend we stopped in with a large party. We were seated promptly. Our waitress was nice but short with us. The place wasn't overly busy but it was possible her section was. We ordered several ribeyes, a New York and the chicken friend steak between us. The ribeyes were ok, nothing to brag about. The New York was the best tasting of the steaks but still an average steak and the best tasting meal. The chicken fried steak was fresh and large. I ordered the small one because I was unable to really judge the sizes from pics. This is the best chicken fried steak I've had while in AZ. It's not a frozen hockey puck that's been warmed up. It's definitely a homemade meal but breading was much more than the actual stead hidden inside. The gravy was very tasty and made the meal. We topped it all off with their Sunday which was good l, the cobbler was excellent and the bread pudding wasn't bad. All in all, I would drive out of my way to eat here but I would come again. read more
