I'm not sure if there's additional parking in the back, but the parking spaces out front are very limited. The first thing I noticed after walking in was how dim the space was. It was actually a little difficult to even see the menu. The menu was relatively small, but I ended up ordering their Aftermath Burger, which they told me is an award-winning burger. I liked the presentation, with three different sauces and the fries served in a cup. However, the burger was way too salty for my taste, and the bun was too crumbly and kept falling apart. Overall, I had a good experience here, and the waitresses were very friendly and helpful.

The ribs are absolutely to die for -- tender, flavorful, and definitely something I recommend trying. The sandwich portions are also worth mentioning.

For the price, they tend to be a little light, so you may want to consider ordering a double. Otherwise, I'd simply go with a glass of champagne or a beer and enjoy the meal.

What makes this especially disappointing is that we used to really enjoy coming here. We understand that being close to closing time can be frustrating for a restaurant, but customers should still feel welcomed, especially when they are coming in well before closing and have supported the restaurant in the past. We really hope this was just a bad night, because we genuinely used to love coming here. But after this experience, we unfortunately left feeling very disappointed.

Oh boy, where do I even begin with Texas Grill? Let's just say the experience was as big as the portions they served. And by big, I mean you could probably feed a small army with a single plate. Seriously, I could have used their chicken fried steak as a pillow, it was that massive! Now, let's talk about the gravy situation. Dry is an understatement. It felt like I was trying to swallow the Sahara Desert with every bite. Note to the chef: gravy should be smooth and creamy, not a desert mirage. Speaking of the chicken fried steak, I have to say, it was a bit of a letdown. I mean, I get it, Texas Grill, and everything is bigger when Texas is involved, but did you have to supersize the breading? I had to search for the steak amidst all that crispy coating. It was like playing hide-and-seek, but with my taste buds. And don't even get me started on the salad. Brown lettuce? Really? I thought I was in a comedy sketch or something. I half-expected the waiter to jump out and yell, "Surprise, it's a prank!" But alas, it was not a joke. Just a sad, wilted excuse for a salad. Blue cheese dressing which tasted out of the bottle was the only highlight from the salad. Now, I have to admit, the food was okay, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I've driven by this place for the past 20 years, wondering what all the fuss was about. Well, now I know. It's the kind of place you drive by, keep driving, and never look back. The mystery has been solved, folks! So, if you're in the mood for massive portions, dry gravy, breading galore, and a side of brown lettuce, then Texas Grill might just be your dream come true. But if you value taste, quality, and edible salads, I suggest you keep on driving and find yourself a restaurant that won't leave you scratching your head and wondering why you wasted your time. read more

I will say the food is good- especially if you are looking for a yummy comfort meal. Now, with that being said.. It is a KNOWN fact the parking lot sucks to get in and out. Honestly, we would probably go more often if it wasn't so bad. This evening pulling in, my husband and I were verbally attacked by another so called patron. I get out of my car, and this old (WT) lady comes up to me like she was going to assault me, and yells, "are you F'ing kidding me." Apparently she didn't like the fact, I turned in as she was just sitting there on 16th St. I ran inside to make them aware of the situation- As I was talking to the staff, including the manager, these ladies walk in like nothing happened and like they did nothing. I let the manager know that we are regulars here and I don't feel safe eating in the same establishment with these ladies-- as they literally verbally attacked us. He goes, well they are regulars as well. So, me coming in shaken up that out of no where these ladies (I may have used more colorful language) attacked us. I said forget it, we won't be back and you lost 2 customers and everyone we know. Its sad that we can't go out to dinner without being verbally attacked. If you want to try it out, just be careful of the other patrons. The management won't even help! read more

Man, I love this place. Every couple of months I get a hanker - you know, that rumbly sensation in your belly that somehow translates to english when the sound makes it to your ears... it says 'CHICKEN FRIED STEAK NOW' with enthusiasm - and the only way to put it to bed is to head down to the TEXAZ Grill. If you ask, they'll let you have TWO biscuits instead of 1 with a healthy wheat roll, and you can load em up with butter and honey while waiting for that monster-sized chicken-fried steak to land in front of you. It's the stuff of dreams. Look, everyone and their mother serves chicken-fried steak, but this place has been doing it RIGHT for like 20 years now, hand-hammered till it's so thin there's only one side, and then battered and fried like nobody's business. Not only is it the best in town, they also give you 2 of 'em stacked up so you can save one for a sandwich the next day. Sure, you could just eat them both while you're there, but then you wouldn't have room for the bread pudding with whiskey sauce. Lord, don't even get me started on the bread pudding. There ain't enough words to describe how good THAT is. read more

The chicken fried steak wasn't crispy so I was pretty disappointed. But, the chicken fried meatloaf was amazing! I would go back just for that. Texaz Grill delivers a true taste of Texas in the heart of Arizona. The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a charming rustic ambiance and the unmistakable aroma of grilled perfection. The menu is a meat-lover's dream, featuring hearty portions of steak, ribs, and chicken fried steak, all prepared with impeccable attention to detail. I tried the chicken fried steak, and it lived up to its legendary reputation--crispy, flavorful, and paired with creamy mashed potatoes and rich gravy that tasted homemade. The service was friendly and efficient, making me feel welcome and well cared for throughout the meal. The staff knows the menu inside and out, offering spot-on recommendations for both food and drinks. Texaz Grill isn't just about the food--it's an experience. From the nostalgic decor to the lively energy of the dining area, it's a spot that embodies warmth and hospitality. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is worth a visit for a memorable meal. read more

New to the neighborhood. Had a neighbor ask me if I'd ever eaten at TEXAZ Grill. Said that I have heard good things about it but never stopped in. Our new neighbors invited us to join them at this neighborhood favorite. Could not have been more excited to find this place now so close by. Was in the mood for a steak. Had the filet, Was cooked absolutely perfect. My wife was not in the mood for a big meal so she had the catfish. Breaded just right. Light and fluffy. Both of our friends had the Chicken Fried Steak which we're told is their famous dish. OMG. The portions were the size of the plate. Man did that look good. Will definitely be coming back to give that a try. Had never had a Shiner. Served with tiny little glass. Was told that is a Texas thing... Planning on this place being a go-to spot in the new hood! read more

My friends and I ended up here after being turned away from another restaurant for having a "too big" party, despite having a reservation. We chose this place based on its ratings, and it exceeded our expectations. Our waitress was kind but sassy, which suited our group perfectly. She anticipated our needs and the drinks were strong, which we loved. It was my birthday, and this place saved the day. Everyone enjoyed their food, and there were no mistakes. I was so full, but my steak (medium) was incredibly tender that I had to resist finishing it to avoid overeating. I highly recommend this place for its food, servers, and lively atmosphere. There's plenty to look at, and we all enjoyed that. We even signed a dollar and joined their corner club. Give it a try! read more

Comfort food at its finest, the chicken fried steak always hits the spot and the gravy is killer! If I could eat it every day without gaining a pound I would, but as with all comfort food at comes at the expense of a few extra calories. The BBQ here is my favorite BBQ ever, very smokey rich flavor with their sauce. The BBQ plates are only served as specials a few nights a week but definitely worth seeking out. Had the Santa Anna Shake recently, an ice cream beverage made with tequila?! Surprisingly it worked great, very delicious. As I mentioned before, if you're trying to watch your figure this is not the place. But if your trying to indulge in some hearty Texas goodness, this is the spot. read more

Well let me just tell ya.........I was born in Texas and moved to Phoenix when I was 3. Lived there for 29 years. I now live in Round Rock, Texas. I have never had a ribeye that tasted better than the one at Texaz Grill. I have eaten steaks all over the state of Texas and not one of them has tasted better than there. I have never had a plate there that was bad. I kinda agree on the whole Vodka thing that one reviewer stated. For those of you who think the place has bad steaks, well you should come to Austin (close to Round Rock) and taste the ones here before you complain.

Errrthing in Texas IZ big! True to all the reviews, Texaz Grill is indeed a thriving local spot filled with the owners quirky character over its 25+yr history! all the waitresses provide that at home graciousness you'd expect from Aunt May. The food is down home scratch cooking in ginormous Texas portions. You'll likely not need a drink refill either as the water cups could drench 2! Fried catfish is succulent and tasty no need for additional seasoning, while their staple chicken fried steak lunch portion could put one under food coma if finished. Great atmosphere and friendly banter keeps this joint alive and having a starbux across the street is extra kudos :) read more

Help me understand the bad reviews... or maybe one time experience doesn't speak volumes, but I was under the belief that first impressions are key. Anyways, came here after my flight because it was close to my hotel. I ordered the Prime Rib 16oz Mulligan cut, medium rare (the only right way to eat prime ribs of a cut this good), and was sold on the first bite. Now I know what Portland is missing: steakhouses like this one. The hot au jus made it even better. I am ashamed to say that I ate the whole thing in one sitting, but can you blame me? My tastebuds thanked me that night while my waistline grew and grew. I shall be back. read more

We are never disappointed when we go to TEXAZ Grill. It is always a treat and a wonderful experience. The prices are high but well worth the price for food, experience, atmosphere, and quality. The only thing I would say it the 40+oz Porterhouse is not as good and the 20+oz. Not saying there was anything wrong with the bigger portion, we are well aware it is more difficult to cook and marinate a larger portion of meat. The 20oz was like butter and the 40oz was amazing as well, just not as to die for as the 20oz. Complements to the chef for everything, Green Salad was amazing too. Highly recommend it for all occasions. read more

I think Pauly C. may be too GTL for TEXAZ Grill... seemed like a pretty legitimate review (sarcasm). Coming from a regular patron of the neighborhood joint, its one of my favorite spots in town. I anxiously await the moment when their piping hot chicken fried steak comes out with its peppery gravy and I venture into Texas culinary heaven. Their beer battered shrimp are huge and are hands down the best shrimp I've had in town, no joke! Finish with a slice of their pecan pie, and bring on a pleasant food coma. I love TEXAZ.

Just Say No! I am a big Chicken Fried Steak fan, so the first time my wife and I were at Texaz Grill, we could not wait to try their signature dish but, when the food arrived, it was "just OK". On our second visit it was just plain awful. The breading was coming off the steak and the gravy was more paste than gravy. There was certainly a lot of food on our plates. I assume they were going for quantity over quality. For the $35 price tag we will simply save the calories and not return. The only reason for the 2 star review is that the servers were nice and considerate. read more

The people here are so nice so it's upsetting to have to write this. Most of the items on the menu are coated in seasoning that has MSG. My family has left with asthma attacks, itchy skin and allergic reactions due to the high MSG content. They even have shakers on the table with MSG in it. Potato chips taste *GOOD* because they're seasoned with MSG. MSG is like crack for your tastebuds but it also causes brain issues because it's an excitotoxin. (Just google it.) I hope the restaurant will swap these MSG seasonings out in the future. read more

Service at the bar is always terrific no matter who is behind the bar. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us during our stay in Phoenix. It does not take reservations so we knew to come a bit early to beat the crowds.

We all ordered the Chicken Fried Steak and the home made coleslaw. All I can say is that the food was amazing! Definitely come hungry, but even then, be prepared to take home a "doggie bag".

I apologize for no pics, we were engaged in a stimulating conversation. People put food first but in today's workd, we need to spend more time talking and listening to one another. I completely forgot to take pics of the food. Overall, it is a simple smashed style of burger patty. The ambiance is lower lighting with a western aged setting. Think traditional western style. It was my first time and while not my preferred style of burger, the food is decent. This is a place that offers customizable food, TV's and it was not too noisy. The counter person was extremely helpful in offering insights and options. Enjoy your experience and wear your boots and Cowboy hat.

Ketchup and mustard is on the table. Easily the best burger in the Valley. I ate everything on my plate!!! Could not put this burger down. Fries were also really good, but you have to eat them while they're still hot. We ordered: - Wineburger with Cheddar & Fries (5+/5) All burgers are hand-pressed and made-to-order. Red onion pickle, lettuce, and tomato come with the burger. From the first bite, I fell in love with this burger. It was thick, but they still managed to keep it juicy and tender. When the server was taking my order and done-ness, I asked for medium-well. It's hard for me to eat large meals these days, but I ate this entire burger and fries. No complaints at all. Just a burger done right. Chomp chomp - Super Deluxe Wineburger with American & Fries (5/5) Double Patty with your choice of American, cheddar, Swiss or pepper jack cheese. Extra super deeeelicious! Hubs loved this 1-pound of ground beef burger. He said it's just a really good burger and he's glad that they use a cheaper bun and keep it simple. He said he knows where to go now when he's craving a really good burger, especially after work downtown. - Garlic Patty Melt with Fries (5/5) One regular patty melt with bacon, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions and homemade garlic sauce. Son said this was delicious! This is a thick stacked patty melt. Take a look at the cocktail menu too. I wanna try most of these drinks when I come back sometime. Another thing I loved about this spot - the prices are very affordable. They know where to prioritize. The food is simple and good at an affordable price point. Don't expect anything fancy here. It's dark and it's loud from the digital jukebox bass. An easy spot to zone out in. Seat yourself when you come in. There are a few tables and several benches along the long bar. Some good quality liquor on display behind the bar. A pool table is in the game room behind the bar. TVs with sports playing are on the walls. I've heard some funny stories from my daughter and her boyfriend about the service being what it is and customers needing to accept it. They've been dining while witnessing a few fights. I think the important thing to remember is that you need to be patient and you will be served when you are served. If you give any guff, they reserve the right to kick you out. We didn't have this experience when we stopped in last Saturday at 12:30 PM. It seems like the noon crowd was just leaving and we got in right before the 1 PM crowd. Our server was really great. He was super attentive and we got our food pretty quickly. parking located right out front or in the general private parking lot for the strip mall of stores.

Even after our meals were brought to the table, another employee commented that it was too much for just the two of us. I've never felt so judged at a restaurant. You would think a business would be happy about higher sales. I never asked for any advice on how much to order. I'm not sure why it was implied that I couldn't (or shouldn't) order a large amount of food. If there's a limit on how much customers can order, that should be clearly stated upfront. I have never felt so uncomfortable and judged.

When I knew that I…read morewas going to be in Phoenix, I checked to see if there was a Gus's location close to my hotel so I could have Gus's again since we don't have fried chicken like this at home. I found the Camelback location and stopped here for lunch and went with fried green tomatoes (wonderful!) , 2 white meat plate (breast and wing) with fries and okra and it was just as amazing as I remembered it last year. Sweet iced tea refills included. I would have loved to tried their chocolate chess pie but I just couldn't. Service was friendly and fast, the place was quite lively when I came in since a large group seemed to be having lunch as well. A word of warning, portions here are quite generous. If you're feeling you're up for 3 pieces , go for 2 instead.

I love the energy and atmosphere and it feels very welcoming even just walking up to the door. The server was very kind and friendly and he was very easy to talk to. Everyone in the kitchen works fast too, the wait time is very ideal for a sit-down restaurant. Now for the food itself, it was amazing. We had gotten the original burger, and double sliders with a side of fries and onion rings. I'm normally not a fan of onion rings, as I am a picky eater, but the flavor and texture of the rings here was just so spot on that I can already tell nowhere else will ever compare. The fries were perfectly salted, not too much and not too little. They had a perfect crisp to them too. The sauces weren't watery either, which I appreciated always. The burger itself was literally the bomb. It had the perfect amount of everything. I typically feel some places put tomatoes on burgers and the tomatoes just get to be too overpowering and out of place, but over here, they're very complimentary with all the other flavors you taste when you take a bite. The sliders were pretty simple, but still very enjoyable especially for a small bite if you aren't feeling an entire burger. Overall, 10/10. Would definitely recommend eating here if you're looking to try something different from the typical Arizona burgers.
