This was a very disappointing luncheon today's. The chicken fried steak tasted like a fish fry, the potatoes were not seasoned nor was the gravy and the corn obviously came out of a can. read more

Chicken Fried Steak, Chicken Fried Steak, Ribeye, Chicken Fried Steak. I've been have chicken fried steak here since they opened and it hasn't changed in all these years. The food is awesome, I've never had bad service and the quantity is fantastic. I love getting the box of left overs for tomorrow lunch. I almost deducted a star because of parking, but decided it's worthy of all 5 because at least my car has AC to wait for a space. PS, be sure and save enough room for the pecan pie, its wonderful. read more

Texaz Grill - Excited for some chicken fried steak. - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Some good traditional home cooking. The Chicken Fried Steak is a must try. The Prime Rib smoked over Pecan wood, OMG that was a treat. The gravy here is amazing and the Pecan Pie is from heaven. No matter how full I get with dinner I still order the pie and it manages to disappear. Thank God I don't live around here cuz it would not be good for my health. read more

Love this place! Great food, ambiance is fun, waitress was fun! Great find, can't wait to go back after the covid scare!

As good as I had expected. Old Texas boy, have eaten CFS all over the country. Most are ok, some are downright worthless, few are good. This one was great. Perfect thickness, perfect cooked perfect coating. Good gravy. Good taters. Didn't eat corn or biscuit. No room. Drove from Colorado. Glad I did. read more

Everything was super good and all the portions were huge. The staff was all nice. I ordered the smaller version of chicken fried steak and it was still too much to finish! read more

The TEXAZ Grill so far my best place and my favorite to get the biggest chicken fried steak I've ever eaten So light and crispy breading is to die for, you must get it with the Mass potatoes so yummy!!!! Like they said it's always bigger in Texas. They do also have other amazing favorites too but if you are a chicken fried steak fan then you have to come down and try it out. They have great customer service, great server they are so nice and sweet. The inside is very busy but it has a lot of history on the wall you always find something new on the wall I haven't seen the last time you were there. So if you ever get a chance to stop in and get yourself a big ass chicken fried steak. Mmm mm good. read more

Let me start by saying this has always been one of my favorite, favorite restaurants. I celebrate my bday there, and have for years, always with chicken fried steak. I'm a native and remember when this place was Carlos O'Briens. Tonight, I got a message from Grubhub enticing me to repeat my order from a couple weeks ago by taking $10 off my $30 order. Easy! Our total will be close to $70. Wife was having catfish, and of course, chicken fried steak for me. Okra again, dessert, extra gravy..... When I went to order, I couldn't find chicken fried steak on the menu. I called to inquire. A woman answered and asked me to wait on hold. OK. I waited, and waited ... 10 mins later, she hadn't returned so I hung up to try again. This time "Derek" answered. I told him about being left on hold. He said she must have forgotten me? Uh yeah.Then I asked where the chicken fried steak was on the Grubhub menu? He said beef cube steak is too expensive to allow them to have this on the meal delivery service menus anymore. Really!!!! Chicken Fried Steak, the item that Texaz Grill built its' reputation on cannot be ordered for delivery! It's part of a combo plate for "big eaters" that can be delivered? They have ribeye steaks and NY strip steaks for delivery? Those have to be more pricy than cube steak? Why not just raise the price? I would pay an extra $5 to $7. Or just give me one piece? It's huge anyway. I am so disappointed tonight that I can't get chicken fried steak for dinner. I was SO in the mood. read more

Got food Togo. Fried pork chops for me CFS for my husband both were great. Only wish is that they had brown gravy.

Worst meal I ever got there in 20+ years. Price increase I could deal with but smaller plates / servings and crappy service I cannot. Food was terrible, selection worse. Waitress was a liar and poor server. read more

The service was great. My drinks were never empty and the hostess and waitress were polite and helpful. For dinner I had the chicken steak which was pretty and tasty. All I would have added would of been more salt. Definitely a go to place for dinner. read more

It pains me to write this. I am a Texan, a Houstonian. I was raised on chicken fried steak and moved to Phoenix two decades ago with cream gravy in my veins. I know full well what a good cat fish dinner taste like and no one can tell me that Blue Bell is "ok". I first found Texaz Grill when it was Texas Grill - before they were forced to change the name. That said, I have been eating here for a very long time and they are - had been - the next best thing to the real thing when it comes to chicken fried steak. That hot plate of the golden mother-load was satisfying and warming to a home-sick soul. I think I may have cried the day I came in, sat at a booth and saw the placard on the table that simply read, "We now carry Blue Bell Ice Cream". That's been some time now. I moved away a few years ago but for whatever reason I have to return to Phoenix, Texaz Grill is a no-brainer. About a year ago I ordered the usual CFS and we were a little surprised to find the meat was tough. Before, all you needed was a fork and maybe a knife for good manners. We wrote it off as a fluke but then the next time, a few short months later, another order in town and it was ... weird ... chewy. What happened to the melt-in-your-mouth CFS this place has been warmly bringing out for ages? I began to wonder if there has been a change of suppliers for their meat, a new cook overdid it - denial and love for some Texas home cooking kept me silent and I went back again. The catfish had always been a winner, my S.O. ordered that and it turned out to be the better meal. Wow. I was so sad. A few months passed, enough for us to forget, so here we were this week after anxiously watching family and friends go through Hurricane Harvey, I wanted nothing more than a Texaz Grill CFS & gravy to hug my soul. ...sigh... I cannot recall having to fight so hard to get a piece of meat to tear away so I can swallow it without fear of choking on the tendon strings. Me with a knife: cut, cut, cut, cut, CCUT, CUTT,,, CUT. Then literally grabbing one end with my teeth, the other ripping it with my hand to get it to split so it is safe to chew. And chew, and chew, and chew, and chew... . We didn't finish it. This is *NOT* a ~Texas~ chicken fried steak. It was like Denny's wishing it was. But the catfish, as always, was good. I am so, so, disappointed. This is the forth time, so this is no longer a fluke. I do not know what has happened over there but Texaz Grill, you need to know that whoever is supplying your meat these days, I would take it under serious consideration to look into them a little deeper. Maybe it's the prep that has changed - I don't know but something changed with the CFS and not for the good. Again, I am from Texas and we know meat. This stuff is bad. Really bad. After nearly choking on tendon-like strings (on two different occasions) that wouldn't tear, also the very thought of so many tendon-like strings in my mouth really grosses me out, I'm wondering what exactly is this 'meat' that I'm eating??? Honestly, I'm sorry, but after several overlooks and tries I have to resign myself to the truth: I am an old-school customer and a Texan so I know what this place used to cook when it came to chicken fried steak and I know how it *should* be cooked. But the truth is, it's terrible and I no longer feel safe eating it. Anyone who is new to this place and not well versed in a properly cooked, tender Texas Chicken Fried steak will be in 'awe' of the plateful and love it and maybe those are your new customers who don't know any better. But for folks like me who miss our mama's home cooking and greasy hole-in-the-wall local restaurants serving it up as it's meant to be and sometimes just need a "I hate you Hurricane Harvey" hug, I'll have to wait until i get back home again cuz i give up. Good luck. read more

Very disappointing. Down in arizona visiting the in laws for my birthday and my father in law said it was a fabulous place to eat. Well for starters the waitress was one of the rudest waitresses I have ever had. She had a smug look on her face, was not friendly, not helpful and when we asked for straws she threw them on the table. Then asked about the website not working to sign up for the buy one get one meal for my birthday and she said it wasn't her problem. Once the food came out it got even worse. My chicken fried steak that they're so proud off was 50%breading 50%meat. And the mashed potatoes were colder than the waitresses heart. I've had better chicken fried steak out of the dumpster at Dennys. My father in law said it was the worst experience he had ever had there and doesn't plan to ever return. If I could give this place a 0 start rating I would in a heart best. DISGUSTING read more

Wow, a big upgrade since my last visit earning an extra star. My Daughter had the chicken fried steak which was tender and the gravy had a great flavor, definitely better than the last visit. My son had the Fried Catfish which was nicely breaded and fried to perfection, the home fries were the only disappointment as the were undercooked and lacked any flavor. My sister had the Fried Shrimp with mashed Potatoes which the shrimp were large and tasted fantastic, glad we shared making a turf and surf platter for each of us. I ordered the Freidy Filet which was cooked to a perfect med rare with the only flaw a line of gristle through the center, I cut around it making the rest of the steak very tender but should have been removed before cooking or serving. read more

Great food! Excellent service! The young woman who served us was awesome. Gave us great options. The portions are huge. Definitely go on Sundays! read more

The most filthy establishment I've ever been in, in my life. Dust covers eveything from what's hanging on every inch of the walls, to the air conditioning vents are caked with it. The refrigerator behind the bar is filthy on the outside, had no bottom covering and you could see the fifth underneath. The partition that slides between the kitchen and the backside of the bar has a foot gap at the bottom and when bartender slid it open you could view about 5 foot long worth of flour strewn all over the floor. I watch the man behind the counter pull out a new pecan pie to cut it into slices and placed his whole palm on top of the crust to get a grip on the pie, cut turn, palm it again and repeat. I will never set foot in that place ever again. It's disgusting and should be closed for deep cleaning before reopening. read more

Love all there steaks. Nice little spot customer service need your support during covid. Doing it right

Delicious prime rib. Cooked perfect. Mashed potatoes were on point with great white gravy. I was in from out of town looking for a local place. TEXAZ grill didn't disappoint. read more

I always pass by this place on my way to the gym and I finally decided to stop on in and check it out. At first when walking in I saw nothing but Texas stuff posted on the walls all sorts of arrangements so I obviously thought things were gonna be super delicious and I was eager to order. I order chicken fried steak as most reviews here are explaining the incredible taste of it. Upon receiving my order I was kinda disappointed it was a huge portion which was great but I did not find much of a flavor to it. Overall I think this place is ok I personally would not go out of my way to eat here and after all don't take my word for it go out and try it. read more

We are transplanted Texans. We were really missing our favorite foods, until now. Nancy was our waitress. She was excellent! Very helpful explaining the menu, and gave us samples of their delicious chopped beef and chili. We decided on chicken fried steak for my hubby, and fried catfish with okra for me. The Cfs was platter sized! Lightly breaded with mashed potatoes and corn. Very tasty. My catfish and okra was excellent. We took home a ton of food. Husband wanted to try dessert. We got a warm piece of pecan pie with a large scoop of blue bell. Everything is made in house. We will be back. read more

We went here last Saturday. Good decor, pretty good service, food needs some work. We were greeted when we arrived and told how long the wait was. Then, after the expected wait were shown to our table. So far so good. We ordered our dinners, two of which included Salad. The greens for the salad looked they came out of a bag and definitely were not fresh. Kind of that slimy one week old feeling ... We both had the house dressing. Didn't like it. My wife had the chicken, I had the Lin Su (a steak with two shrimp on top, and our son had the BBQ. My son liked the BBQ. My wife and I didn't care for ours. Perhaps we were so turned off by the salad that it colored our perception of the meal. I'm not sure. We might try it again. Hopefully the salad is an anomaly. read more

Solid neighborhood no frills kinda cowboy place. Definitely worth it for prime rib or a steak for less than $200

We pass Texas AZ grill nearly every day living in North CenPho--Always cheekishly said we'd go "one if these days" but typically end up at Luci's,, San Tan or somewhere uptown or food Indian food you--you name it, we always has just passed on my. When we finally decided to celebrate this weekend, we were supposed to go to angry crab but a 45 minute wait We ended up thinking about going to find try Texas Grill. Well, upon being greeted by our friendly in the most sincere hometown way server, Seeing the ginormous and delicious coleslaw side dish served with feel good warm soft scratch biscuits-- earring here as a novelty quickly turned into a hidden Arizona gem of a dining experience! The feeling we were in texas sized hog heaven continued Into our main dinner. I got "little" portion classic chicken fried steak --- and it was as I imagined not at all small & bigger than a non-Texas version of "large" anywhere else. And it just isn't large portions anybody can do that but everything is flavored well it wasn't greasy, but tender amazing mouthwatering, coma inducing. But wait the famous chicken fried steak is not the Lone Star :/...It is rivaled by prime rib and have fun tasting it is as good as any you would have a top Notch steakhouse like Ruth's Chris or Fleming's...Without all of the pomp and price tag. Dripping in delectable au jus.. named top steak house for value in the state. Turns out Texas Grill --Proudly owned for decades right there in that same corner..Has been on many top dining lists and is considered one of Arizona's best places to get not just #1 country fried steak but dining & customer service overall top-notch. Now when we pass the corner of Bethany Home & 16th St. as we head up to 51 to go to Biltmore or Uptown-- we are proud to say we've finally dined there and definitely go again. Thanks so much Texas grill. You are darn tootin' a treasure.. read more

First time in since the owners have changed. Very disappointed in the food - coleslaw was watery and bland, only 1 1/2 chicken fried steaks instead of 2 on the dinner. When did that change happen??? Asked for no sides bread or salad with the $27 filet, wanted green beans and onions instead - no problem for an additional charge of $7.00 - without being told that that's what they were going to do. Onions and green beans instead potatoes and salad - really need to charge for that? So so disappointed- will not be back. read more

The place is a classic. The chicken fried steak is larger then the plate and mashed potatoes are terrific. A fun place to eat with so much fun stuff on every wall. You won't go away hungry and you can even wash it down with a bottle of the classic Texas Shiner beer! read more

Besides the great food and service, I love the decor of this corner gem. I'm never disappointed! And I mean, NEVER. I took our youngest, for lunch, and he was mesmerized by all the memorabilia, on the wall and ceiling. It was entertaining, to see the look, on his face. I love it, when I get to surprise, our kids. Even though the youngest, just turned 30. Can't remember what he had, but he devoured, every last bite. I got the country fried steak, and it was enough, for 3 meals. This is another place, that has never been a disappointment. If you go, just make sure you go after the rush hour, or you'll have to wait in line. Not that it isn't worth the wait! I just lothe, lines. Go, go, go, and try this place out. Not only, is the food great, I never go, where I don't meet someone, interesting. Reminds me of my Mom & Grandma's restaurant, in Central Illinois, back in the 50's & 60's. ENJOY! read more

Sorry. This has been my favorite "don't worry about the calories" place for the night because it's worth the splurge....BUT... Menu prices increased, plates and portions got smaller, recipes changed for the worse and I was served catfish that was SO undercooked that it was disgustingly raw. Yes, they took it off my bill. No, I did not drive my family there for the disappointment. Oh Texaz...go back to the classic restaurant that you were and tell the person that convinced you that smaller portions, higher prices and "cutbacks" were to your advantage...that's NOT what made you famous. I don't want to see a Classic become extinct...but...right now you're headed down the same road as the dinosaur... read more
