My parents and I went to the Texaz Grill last night - I'm visiting from out of town and they wanted to take me out for a good dinner. We each ordered a drink, they each ordered a steak and I had the chicken fried steak (it should be noted that the chicken fried steak was pretty good!). The problem was the disrespectful treatment we ended up receiving from the Manager. When our food arrived, my Mom's steak was exactly as ordered, but my Dad's steak was the wrong order and was cooked well done (he probably would have graciously ate the wrong order if it weren't for the fact that it was well done... Who orders good steaks well done?) So we waited about ten additional minutes for him to get the correct order brought to the table. The issue now was that my Mom and I now had two plates of cold food in front of us because we waited for his food to arrive before we started eating. Fine. We ate. Our very nice waitress, Donna, asked if we wanted dessert, we declined (as we were pretty full - dinner was large) and just asked for our bill. The real challenge came when the bill arrived and we asked (very politely) if they were willing to do something with the bill to make up for the mistake with my Dad's steak and my Mom and I having to eat cold food? Donna went to speak with the Manager and came back with the offer of a free dessert. But we'd just declined dessert a few moments earlier, so that didn't seem like a good offer - we asked if maybe they could deduct the value of a dessert from our $75 bill? Donna said she'd have to send over her Manager. A gentleman (the term is being used quite loosely) came over to the table and quite rudely told us "mistakes happen" - when my Mom tried to explain that we understood that, he rudely shut her down by saying "you're not the one who had to wait" (wrong! We all waited). When I asked him about deducting the value of one dessert from our bill, he actually accused me of trying to "rob them"!! Crazy! He eventually said he'd deduct the value of my drink from the bill (a $6 margarita) and stormed away from the table. We were shocked at how rude he was being. The re-issued bill arrived and, to our great surprise, the drink that was deducted was a $2 beer. Needless to say, we won't be recommending the Texaz Grill to any of our friends and wanted our Yelp friends to know what happened there last night. We understand mistakes happen, but we appreciate it when establishments make a bit of an effort to make it right. REALLY didn't like being accused of trying to "rob them"! read more

Very kitchy place with noise to match the decor. However, their servings are substantial and the staff is very friendly. I loved the liver with onions and bacon that I had there. read more

Can only comment on the Chicken Fried Chicken - yum! A portion that 2 can share (unless you're overly hungry). Price is quite fair too. Served breaded and fried, southern style with corn/mashed potatoes. I'ts a smaller place so the closer you come to opening the better. There was a wait of 8 people at the door on a Saturday morning (10 minutes to open). Super casual restaurant, decked out with nostalgic and Texas memorabilia. read more

Sometimes a girl gets a wicked hankerin' for some chicken fried steak, mashed taters, and white gravy. You know that what she does? She goes to Texaz Grill. For a ridiculously satisfying and heart clogging meal, you can't beat it. It's got a casual and fun atmosphere, and it's extremely reasonably priced. And best of all, the bar has a total honky tonk feel that makes me want to run home and play Urban Cowboy with the mister. read more

Meh. Alright. Nothing to brag about. Ok, Ok they have Titos vodka, big score. The portions are humongous, I ordered the chicken fried steak and it literally could have fed 4 girls. The batter and gravy were both pretty bland, what's all the rave about this place? My bf got the Ribs, and they were just ok, very fullof fat pieces, they had a smoky sauce where I normally prefer a sweeter, tangier bbq. It almost seemed like they try to make up for the lack of flavor with huge servings. The inside of the place looks like a dumpster monster from Texas puked all over it. Crap everywhere and not very clean. Yea it is cheap, but you get what you pay for. read more

Eh, this place is alright. We wanted to try something new this weekend and we happened to drive by so we gave Texaz Grill a shot. I of course yelped it first to decide what I was going to eat, and the response was overwhelmingly to get the Chicken Fried Steak. Okay then. Inside, this place is literally covered in crap. There are business cards along the door frame and all over the ceiling. Baseball caps literally line the entire perimeter of the room and then some. There really isn't an inch of space that hasn't been covered with some form of Texas style memorabilia. I got the chicken fried steak, obviously, and it came with mashed potatoes, corn, and a biscuit. The potatoes were okay, nothin special, the corn was okay but a little peppery, the biscuit was very bland and the bottom was a bit hard, and the chicken fried steak was just ok. I've had a few chicken fried steaks in my life, and this one did not stand out. It was really crisp and crunchy on the outside, which I like, but flavor-wise, there was just something missing. It was just okay. Service was quick and efficient. We had our meal in under 30 minutes, so that was nice I guess. I probably won't be back, but at least I tried. read more

My boyfriend has the winning review for tonight: "I'd slit my wrists, but you'd never get the grease out of the upholstery." Texaz is neither a steakhouse nor a diner. It is a little piece of nostalgia for those who miss their mother's (mediocre) dinners. Portions are ridiculously over-sized, the cow is proudly "unseasoned," and grease takes the place of, well... everything. It should all add up to ultimate comfort, but we left feeling full-up on drippings without any flavor to show for it. It's a McDonald's feeling. If that's your guilty pleasure, go for it. But do it on your own hung-over time. I wouldn't bring friends here. I loved the restaurant itself. Everyone who worked there was beyond amazing. Just really good people who clearly loved the place and who wanted their guests to love it too. The kitsch was fun, the energy was upbeat and comfortable, and I appreciate any place that has such a dedicated following of regulars. The flagship chicken fried steak had a lot going for it. It was big enough to feed a family of four, tender enough to be cut with a fork (really!), and it held up its light crispiness under the white gravy. That's a super-human feat, and it amazed me all night. On the down side, the cutlet lacked flavor, which is the whole point of a round steak. Ultimately, it was comforting, but only because it was totally expected and not notably bad. The steak list is cut in-house (except the t-bone, I think). The menu boasts that the steaks are free of seasoning and tenderizer, so we expected the rib-eye to be full of flavor and fat. Instead, it was presented swimming in oil (shortening? flavorless drippings?) and wasn't good for anything except as a sponge for Worcestershire sauce. We sent most of it back. Both mashed and fried potatoes were good, and the slaw was refreshing. I know these are minor, but: -Why does the bread basket have a single dinner roll and a single biscuit in it? -Why don't they have sweet tea? -Why is their Shiner Bock served in a 7oz glass? read more

Big, BIG portions. During my visit in Phoenix, my girlfriend and I had our last dinner at TEXAZ Grill. We saw the great reviews and were in the mood for some meat, so this was the choice. Parking is pretty difficult so I'd suggest parking in the big plaza across the street and just walking. Upon entering, the place is littered with cool memorabilia everywhere. This seems like the spot to go to cause it was packed that night. We were seated pretty fast and ordered the chicken fried steak, fried okra and a NY strip topped w/artichoke and jumbo shrimp. First off, the portions here are HUGE. You start off with a choice of coleslaw or salad, then came the good stuff. The steak was delicious and the jumbo shrimps topped with some magical sauce were amazing. I'm a pretty big fan of country fried steak, but I was expecting a bit more. Yes, it was about 3/4ths of the plate and had another one underneath, but without it being smothered in gravy, I actually felt like it was pretty bland to eat on its own. Worth a visit! read more

So, I kinda grew up on chicken fried steak. Healthy, I know. Anyway, after moving to AZ I was desperate to find a good chicken fried steak. I found it here! I'll be honest. The 5 stars is really just for the chicken fried steak. I don't care that much for their other steaks. The service is prompt so I don't mind too much that they don't smile. Just bring me my chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes and gravy and leave me alone! Oh yeah...if you go at lunchtime the chicken fried steak special is only $7. read more

Take a little slice of Texas hospitality (and portion size) and drop it onto an unsuspecting corner of Phoenix. That gives you Texaz. This place features some of the finest chicken fried steak I've had the pleasure of eating. It was accompanied by genuine mashed potatoes, buttery corn, and a hearty biscuit. The portions are as generous as the brim of a texan's hat. This is also one of the few places you'll find Arizona where you can find Shiner Bock, the finest Texas beer. If you hurry there now, you can probably still get the Shiner Bohemian Black Lager - a fine tasty beverage. (They serve beers in a bottle accompanied by a curiously small frosted glass. If you're not from the southwest, don't be alarmed. I hear it's "normal" in the desert lands.) All in all, the food was delicious and the owners have instilled a genuine appreciation of the customer that shines through in the service. This place is about as fine of a casual dining spot as I've found in my travels! Bring your appreciation for Conway Twitty and a hearty appetite. Yee-haw! read more

Down home on the ranch Texas cuisine right here in Arizona. Service is great and the atmosphere is awesome! Great beer and alcohol selection to accompany your stick to the ribs comfort food. Their gravy is the bomb! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! read more

I am from Texas and I do love the regional food. My husband had been craving a good chicken fried steak, so we decided to try TEXAZ Grill. The parking can be a pain. If you pull into the spots right in front of the building, they're for compact cars, and there's no valet. There is a lot behind the building with ample sized spots, so look for the turn in off Bethany Home. The decor is a little tacky and over the top, but I guess that adds to the restaurant's charm. The staff is friendly and helpful. Chicken fried steak - awesome. The portion is huge, and it's cooked just like it should be. Accompanying mashed potatoes are quite good. I was surprised that the brisket sandwich was so good. The meat is really tender, flavorful, and thick cut. I like that they top it with BBQ sauce and then provide extra on the side. Portion was also big, although the chicken fried steak is hard to beat in terms of quality, quantity, and price. My husband and I could have split it and still had leftovers. We had plenty of leftovers and couldn't try any dessert (unfortunately) because we were so full. I really want to go back and try the other menu items, like the chili, one of their many steaks, and the chicken fried chicken. If you like Texas staples, give TEXAZ Grill a try. read more

This place at one time seemed too "high concept", but multiple visits have convinced me that it is rather genuine: A plain-old Texas cultural embassy. I think I've never had a bad meal there. The steaks could be thicker, I suppose. And they do grease 'em up before they grill 'em, but the over all effect with the mashed potatoes is pretty satisfying. I always get a Shiner Bock when I'm there. At one time it was one of the few restaurants in the valley that had them available. Parking is pretty bad, and the seats could be more comfortable. But basically, come hungry and leave happy. read more

Yummy comfort food!! They have SMOKED PRIME RIB!!! Never had that before and it was amazing!!! Worth the drive for sure! read more

Always a great experience here. Great service and the food is beyond expectation. Had few items off menu and all were perfect to my taste buds:) read more

I've been to Texaz grill a few times for their deadly, but pretty darn good chicken fried steak. This past Saturday, I went to grab a bite while my babies got groomed. I sat down at the bar next to a group of bar flies that seemed to be regulars. The conversation was in full swing about politics, which they tried to drag me into but I politely declined and said "I don't discuss politics while trying to digest food." I ordered one of the specials which was a smoked hot link drenched in bbq sauce on a po-boy bun. It was served with coleslaw, but I ordered some Texaz fries with it. The hot link was dry and almost jerky-esque, possibly due to the smoking process, or maybe the links were just old. They were still tasty, and being a girl that is used to smoked meats around the house, I kind of enjoyed eating the semi-dry little discs. I tossed aside the top half of the po boy bun, and just ate the meat with the sauce soaked bottom half of the bun. The sauce was dark, with a smoky sweet flavor. The coleslaw was creamy and the cabbage was finely chopped. The Texaz potatos are chunks of seasoned, and fried potatos. I only ate about 3 or 4 before I was stuffed. As is always the case with Texaz Grill, I wasn't overly delighted, but I wasn't overly disappointed. Texaz Grill is a dive that happens to serve pretty good food! It's nothing fancy, it's nothing sophisticated, but if you're in the mood for meat, or chicken fried steak, head there. read more

I seriously cannot think of a reason to deduct a star from Texaz. It's about as authentic as you can get without going back in time. The food is consistent and delicious. I'm a purist so I used to order the chicken fried steak but have since broadened my horizons and have started ordering the chicken fried chicken which is, in my opinion, better. I also really appreciate the fact that they started offering half orders because their regular portion sizes are ginormous (though the leftovers are also delicious). This is probably one of my more boring reviews because I don't have anything to snark about with Texaz. I actually joined their email list just because they seem like nice people and I'd like to hear from them more often. Their food also cures all hangovers and it is the absolute perfect place to go on Sunday night after a long weekend of liver damage in Vegas (learned this last weekend). Five Stars. read more

My ex-hubby and I used to frequent this place in 1991 when it was called The Lone Star. It was awesome then...and it's still just as awesome!!! I moved away for 20 years and when my ex-mother-in-law came into town we decided to give Texaz Grill a try, not even thinking that it was the same place. Boy! Were we pleasantly surprised!! Nothing has changed! Not the decorations, not the menu, not the friendly staff, not the quality of the food...NOTHING!!! Ok. I'm lying. There was a different picture on the back of the ladies room door. We all ordered the Ribeye with the house salad/house dressing, homemade mashed potatoes and cream gravy. I've dreamt about those mashed potatoes!! The steaks were perfect! Juicy, tender, flavorful, cooked to order. Chain steakhouses have NOTHING on this place! We finished our meal with the homemade bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Trust me, you've never had bread pudding so good! Full of cinnamon, raisins, and pecans with the most delightful whiskey sauce. If you live in Phoenix or are just passing through stop in at The Texaz Grill! You won't regret it! read more

There's Chicken Fried Steak, and then there's Texaz's Chicken Fried Steak. The menu is small and consists mostly of meat and anything fried. Keep your cardiologist on speed dial if you come here often. The décor is quirky and fun. You could sit at every table in this restaurant and still not see everything they have to offer hanging on the walls. The only dilemma I have when I come here is whether to order the Chicken Fried Steak or the Chicken Fried Chicken. Both equally delicious. Both served with a heaping mound of mashed potatoes and gravy... oh the gravy... it is so delicious I could drink it with a straw. The portion size here is HUGE. Do not try to eat everything they serve you; your stomach will likely implode. read more

Good, wholesome, simple Comfort Food. I've been coming here for a few years. It's the "spot" for my brother and I. Chicken Fried steak is so big it's folded over on the plate and smothered in gravy. Fried Pork Chops, smothered in gravy are delicious. Ribeye, decent cut of steak for $16. Get Coleslaw as your salad and biscuits on the table. Washing it down with Texas' own Shiner Black lager... it's a meal fit for a King! read more

This place is known for their chicken fried steak. And they certainly do it right. They have a billboard that is a running tally of how many servings of chicken fried steak they have served....now that's confidence in your product! But if you feel like something else, they have an amazing prime rib (you have to get there early though....they only make a certain amount of prime rib each night and when they run out, they run out). If you want something a little smaller---and that's not saying much, since their portions are huge, get the brisket sandwich, ask for the bbq sauce on the side, and ask for a side of au ju. You won't regret it. It's amazing!! Don't expect some fancy schmancy steakhouse--but go hungry and you won't regret your decision to go there! read more

My Wife and I found ourselves in central phx one evening and she suggested this place. We stopped in and the entire restaurant was adorned in texas/western themed memorbillia. It was definitely tacky but not without it's appeal. Places like this tend to tout their "Chicken Fried Steak" Uber Alles And If I remember correctly the menu claimed "world famous, or something of that degree" chicken fried steak So what was I to do? Well I ordered that there "Chicken Fried Steak" that's what. I made the mistake of Ordering my salad with "Mustard Vinaiarette" the choices were that and "Ranch" I'm convinced they keep a cup of it around to "prevent profiling" I don't have anything against ranch, I don't hate america, I just prefer other dressings. Our food came promptly, and the CFS was HUGE!!!!! (emphasis on HUGE) with a big mountain of mashed potatoes The Meat was nice and tender and the breading was crispy but airy, I might have finished 40% of my meal at best. overall the food was actually quite good. At one point the manager came by and checked on us,which is something I always like. It's definitely the kind of place you'd expect to hear a record skip if you walk in the door impromperly attired, but it has a certain local flare and appeal that would bring me back in. read more

This place has been on my bookmark list for a while. I wanted comfort food last night and Wednesdays the dinner special is liver and onions. I can make liver and onions just fine at home but then the apartment smells like liver for a week. Got there about 6:30 and the place was packed. I had a choice of waiting at the bar or just eating there anyway. I chose to eat there and I had a good view of the basketball game on the TV so all was good. For $9.00 I got 3 good sized slices of liver, a bunch of bacon, a mound of onions, mashed potatoes and gravy and a small salad. For what I paid the food was quite good and plentiful. The service was excellent. I still don't care for skins in my potatoes but the option was wedge fries with skins on. At some point I will come back to try the chicken fried steak. After several decades of street widening on Bethany Home and 16th st the parking lot is not big vehicle friendly. The bartender said after the bank closes to the North most folks with trucks park there, including her. read more

Texaz Grill has possibly the best chicken fried steak in the state. Their chop steak burgers and ribs are good too. I would not recommend getting an actual steak here though. I have had mixed experiences with the staff. Some have been rude and uninspired, others have been extremely friendly and helpful. The bottom line for me is Texaz grill is my destination of choice for chicken fried steak and ribs. If I am in the mood for a New York Strip or something along those lines, I prefer to go to a chain restaurant. read more

I grew up in Texas and love coming here for the brisket and the chicken fried steak. The catfish is also worth getting. Very friendly service. The table is loaded with all sorts of hot sauces and condiments to add some kick to your meal. Parking is poor if not awful and the lighting inside is rather dim. Ask for a seat to the left when you walk in by the lamp and beer signs. Oh Yeah! read more

You know that sweet idiom about so-and-so's behind being as large as Texas? Well! They must have had the chicken fried steak. AKA atherosclerosis for your dining pleasure. Pretty sure those kitschy armadillos plastering the walls are a fire hazard. I like it! read more

First timers, so on a Friday night we decided to give another non chain restaurant our $$. Texas Grill it was. Upon walking in it kinda has a flea market vibe look. Definitely needs an update to remove clutter that should not be decor.(business cards, hats, etc) if you can ignore that grungy look... the sevrice was great. Very friendly gal. The food was huge portions..i couldnt finish and that doesnt happen often. No draft beers but a good bottle beer selection. Served with a tiny cold glass. We really enjoyed our meals and we will be back again soon to try something else read more

For the very best food, service and atmosphere Texaz Grill nails it every time. They perfected the chicken fried steak, and anything else that can be chicken fried including chicken. Last night Helena was our server and what a sweetheart she is! Very personable, attentive and warm lady who earned a nice tip for her effort. We live in the east valley and it is worth the drive. On the occasion that you have to wait for a table......do it! It is so well worth the wait. read more

I am so confused by all of the ratings. I've tried this place twice now hoping that things would be better and that I just ordered the wrong items but I was, yet again, very disappointed. The only thing this place has going for itself is that they have large portions. As for the food, it should be called Tex"ass" Grill! First time I visited, my boyfriend and I ordered the ribs meal. The ribs were dry and extremely salty. The sides weren't any better either. Their potatoes were bland and coleslaw was over-dressed. Seeing the highly rated reviews on their Chicken Fried Steak, I hoped my most recent visit would bring redemption to this restaurant, but, boy was I wrong! Their Chicken Fried Steak was bland as was their gravy and mashed potatoes! They didn't bother to season the meat and it seems like it was just dredged in season-less flour batter. The gravy was flavorless as well. I really wanted to like it but my taste buds fought against me. I felt dirty trying to take another bite because I kept trying to fool myself into thinking I tasted the meat... or the batter... or the gravy... or the potatoes. My last bite of redemption... the biscuit.... which was also flavorless! What happened to buttery, flaky biscuits? They would be well inclined to consult the Pillsbury Dough Boy for some pointers because those taste 100% better. Disappointment and empty stomachs filled my household for the rest of the evening. At least something was full. read more

We just left Texaz, and I just had a write a review because the experience was so amazing! We were with a big party of 13 people ranging in ages from 3 to 40. The owner came by and played trivia with all of the kids at the table and gave out prizes for the right answers. How often does something like that happen? Service - Our service was top notch! We each ordered several courses and our server was always on top of drink refills, each order was correct, and we had to ask for nothing as she anticipated what each of us would need. She was quiet but very thoughtful. Food - Giant - Texas size portions, great tasting and very reasonably priced, considering our group was mostly teenagers what more could you ask for? The chicken fried steak is amazing!!! Décor/ambience - lots and lots of things on the wall and an infinite amount of Texas kitsch. I would recommend Texaz for lunch or dinner any day of the week. It was a great experience and the food was outstanding! read more

I have to say that Yelp let me down on this one. It was terrible. There was absolutely no salt on anything and no flavor. Seriously their "fries" were not even salted. (And by fries I mean huge hunks of potatoes that are fried) I ordered their special chicken fried steak, and I don't know how they can still be in business if that is what they are known for. The beef back ribs weren't very good either. read more

After a long hard work week, my girlfriend and I wanted to go out and get some good comfort food. She wanted to go to Lo Lo's and as you can see based off my previous review of that place, I really wasn't too excited. I found this place on yelp and convinced my girlfriend to come here. Oh boy, I'm glad we did. We heard all the good reviews of the Chicken fried steak and we had to give it a try. We ordered Fried Okra as a appetizer and I got the large chicken fried steak and she got the smothered pork chop. Everything was a hit! The gravy was amazing and the food was great! The place was pretty packed for a Friday night, the service was great and everything was on point. read more

Texaz Grill - Chicken fried steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fun, friendly, prompt service and tasty food? What's not to like? Portions here are definitely Texas-size so you are not going to go away hungry. They were very accommodating to our large party and our server was excellent. Parking here is HORRIBLE though. The restaurant is on the corner of 16th St. and Bethany Home in a rundown strip mall. The spots themselves are short and it's difficult to get into and out of the lot. Not sure if there is a special trick to parking here but please keep in mind when you come that parking is sucky. Now, bear in mind when you come here, there are not many "healthy options" on the menu. And they are not ashamed of this at all. They embrace the Texas size deep fried, heavily battered foods they offer unabashedly. As someone who is careful about what I eat, I did manage to get a salad and felt good about it. All the dishes came out at the proper temperatures and were freshly made and nicely plated. Looking forward to going back in the near future! read more

Texaz is fun! I grew up in Texas and this is the real deal. The chicken fried steak is my fave. But, last night, Mom and I hit Texaz for dinner and decided to share the fried shrimp platter. Each shrimp is as big as your head! Ok, maybe not, but they are a good size, about 3-4 inches. For $15 is was a deal. I added an extra salad for $2. All dinners come with salad, choice of potatoes (fried or mashed -- the fried potatoes are chunks of potatoes, deep fried; the mashed are still a bit chunky with white gravy), and a roll and a biscuit. The salad is basic -- iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. Ranch or olive vinaigrette for dressing. The olive is great! Shiner bock is the house beer for $3.25 a bottle, other domestics are $2.75 each and imports are $3.75. Our dinner, two salads, 2 Coors lights and one JD on the rocks was $29 including the tip. Yee haw! Y'all come back now, y'hear?! read more

First time here! Recently over in the area and always see this place super pack. Decided to give it a try. Their service is excellent our waitress was really friendly and sweet! I was surprised to see that the owner was there too socializing. He is very down to earth and shows how much he cares about his business! By the way I'm part of the CLEAN PLATE CLUB SCOORREEE! Lol highly recommend this place for some good ol southern food! read more

Texaz Grill - Yummy!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

My boyfriend is kind of a down home, "we love Amurrica" kind of guy, It's part of his charm, it's what I love about him, but the kind of cuisine that accompanies this quality isn't my cup of tea. I rarely eat red meat. I avoid fried foods whenever possible. That being said, I like to see my man happy - a knife in one hand, a fork in the other, and a big plate of Western goodness between the two. TEXAZ seemed perfect. I read reviews, (not on Yelp, unfortunately), scoped out the location, and surprised him by taking him there a few months ago. I, for one, loved the atmosphere. It was loud, a little rowdy, and filled to the ceiling with junk! An eclectic assortment of ephemera clung to the walls, accented with knick-knacks and taxidermied animals here and there. Imagine the inside of an Applebee's, except 10 times darker and decorated with items people actually accumulated over time, not stuff that came out of some corporate "wacky interiors!" starter kit. The waitress was pleasant, but inattentive. The portions were huge, but bland. Even the biscuits were especially boring, and it's hard to make a buttermilk biscuit any more boring than it naturally is, just by existing. I tried to score some honey mustard to liven up my tasteless chicken entree, but no go - no sauces were available! What?! Even my boyfriend seemed less than thrilled by his big ol' meaty hunk of meat, served with a side of some bland starch or another. My boyfriend also found the beer selection to be lacking, but I can't vouch for the accuracy of this observation as I do not care about beer in the slightest. For what it was, it was pricey. I felt like we could've gone to almost any other sit-down restaurant in a 2 mile radius and had a better experience for less cash. We left full, but with nothing good to say other than "my, that was a lot of food." Hardly ringing praise for a $50+ dinner bill. I don't think we'll be back...the lure of the 1970s concert posters and deer skulls isn't enough to justify a second visit. read more

I'll be short, and just get to the point on this one: The only reason I managed to give this place 2 stars was because they definitely gave you good sized portions for the price. However, a large portion of nasty, is still just nasty, regardless of how much they give you. The Chicken Fried Steak (their pride and joy) was bland and the only flavor was grease. I don't mean the typical "its a fried dish" grease flavor, no i mean it tasted like after they pulled it out of the fryer they dipped it in the oil vat. The gravy was nondescript and flavorless. Side options were nothing special, they seem to rave about the cole slaw, but it is not my cup of tea, so I passed. This place seems like the type of establishment that if you are a regular then you get stellar service, if you are not, then oh well to you. Funny, because how do people get to be a new regular if you aren't giving decent service to the new guest. To sum it up, people swear by this place. I however, have sworn off this place. I don't get it, I left feeling ripped off and revolted that I even ate that junk (now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good chicken fried steak, this just was not it for sure!) read more

Without a doubt, one of THE BEST comfort food restaurants in AZ! Go to items? 1) Chicken fried steak with gravy and mashed potatoes. FORGETTABOUDIT! 2) Medium rare prime rib and mashed potatoes. UNREAL! 3) Biscuits and gravy, again, with mashed potatoes! Lol. DELICIOUS! They have been in the same spot doing their wonderful comfort food CONSISTENTLY for many years now. The atmosphere is kitchy, which I personally don't care for, but I only go for the awesome food and friendly service. Geez, now I'm craving some prime rib! Don't hesitate to go here for a casual dinner with some of the best Texas comfort food you'll ever have. Bring clients for lunch if they have never been, they will love it and let their guard down so you can have a productive lunch meeting. They will end up going back, bringing their spouses and thanking you for showing them this spot! read more

The only reason I am giving this place a 3 star review is because the service was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and gave us the perfect mix of attention and privacy. We were seated quickly, and had drinks a few minutes later. The food arrived equally fast. The restaurant itself is your typical roadhouse. Its dark and a bit crowded feeling inside, with lots of stuff on the walls, and feels dirty, even though I'm sure it's clean. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the huge portions of food. I ordered their "famous" Chicken fried steak. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting, but what I got was not what I was hoping for. the breading on the chicken wasn't very crispy and had very little flavor. The gravy had even less flavor than the batter and only succeeded in making everything soggy. The steak itself was cooked well but fatty, flavorless, and hard to cut. the salads and side dishes were equally mediocre. Nothing special about TexAZ Grill. read more

Being a Texas Native and foodie. This place is legit. Being my first time here thanks to a Yelp search for chicken fried steak this was on top of the list, I had to check it out. Seeing the decor on the wall I had to make a Texas License Plate donation because after two years of being here I finally caved in and registered my car in AZ and coincidentally had it in my trunk. This donation yielded the opportunity to meet Steve the owner. Steve was awesome we chatted about Tex-Mex food and life in Texas. It was delightful meeting him. Now on to the food. We ordered a dish on their daily special of biscuits topped with a chicken fried steak topped with eggs. This may sound weird but that's how you eat them in Texas. Food was killer. Steve was also generous in bringing us a sample of his BBQ brisket and mash potatoes. Again legit Texas style food. As BBQ competition person whose tasted some of the best BBQ in Texas I have to give two thumbs up, all the food had great flavor. And we even tried the cobbler topped with Bluebell ice cream. Which if it had anything other than Bluebell than that would be a sin. We will be back to try other menu items and next time go with a bigger appetite. read more
