    Wow. Seriously tasty and fresh. Way bett3r than expected...and friendly service! This gem is located on Rufe Snow. I hit the drive-thru and order3d their 1/4 pounder with cheese meal. I traded the fries for onion rings. My diet coke was HUUUuuuuGE....and was even better than McDonald's fountain drinks! Truth! The burger was really good and held fresh veggies. The onion rings needed a little salt, but oh so good. I went through the drive thru, so the ambiance was minimal...but i love seeing Tex with the big yellow star. Did I mention the soft delicious bun?! So good!

    Italian Beef wet of course

    Love this place been a minute since last visit. Interior is a little dated but sparkly clean. Family owned with a great story line there is just something about a small business that gets it right time after time. The food is amazing Midwestern faves and char grilled burgers. For me it's the Italian Beef, Chicago Dog or the Polish sausage everytime.This is a 1 store shop kinda legend in these parts.

    First time here with a friend, my buddy Gary recommended it. It's family owned with a Chicago background and there are several different options to choose from! We both had the flame grilled burgers with special sauce and fries. It hit the spot and I liked the spicy sauce better than the regular sauce. I want to make another trip soon to try a hot dog or polish style.. We definitely were satisfied and happy when we left.

    Chicken Fried Chicken Dinner

    We have been coming to Tex's Star Grill for years, this is definitely a favorite restaurant in the area. My personal favorite food here is the chicken fried chicken. Not only is the taste delicious, but the portions are amazing for the money. You will get a chicken fried chicken that is over half of a plate. I love getting the fries as my side to use the spicy house sauce. You also get toast and a side salad. Those working are very nice and they keep the restaurant very clean. You will probably also see the owner here, he is always working.

    Reuben sandwich, fries, and Russian?? dressing.

    Was in North Richland Hills for first time in 5 years. Finished my business and looked for place to eat. Normal row of cookie cutter fast food restaurants. Happened to notice Tex's Star Grill. Glad I did. Not your average drive thru. Chicago Italian Hot Beef dipped sandwiches, Gyros, chicken/beef kabob sandwiches. And my favorite the Reuben. Pastrami, Swiss cheese, rye bread and Russian (I would call it 1000 Island) dressing. Big steak house style fries, and big Coke. All delicious. Had a baklava too. Good. Several steps above your average fast food place. Would be 5 stars if not just toasted but made in Panini Press and real Russian dressing. Give it a try. Good food. Friendly employees. Fast service.

    Customer service was excellent until an older woman came to the window. Maybe it was just one of those days, but she came off as unfriendly. I've never had a bad experience here and use to bake bread for the company. However, this does affect my overall review. The spicy fried pickles were horrible! The burger was decent. The onion rings were the best part of my meal. The establishment is still clean and looks the same from yrs ago. You can tell the owner takes pride in his business. I think this was an off day, hopefully.

    Forgot to take a picture before diving in.  Doesn't do it justice.  So good!

    We can't give this place enough stars! Fantastic food! Don't let the exterior or name fool you. The food pictures don't do justice. George is a Greek man from Chicago that has lived in Texas a couple decades...and the food reflects it all. The Gyro is some of the best meat we have had. That's right, great gyros from a place with "Tex" in the name. We took the owners suggestion and got the Golden Burger that is piled with fresh pastrami. Amazing blend of flavors. My mouth wanted more. We highly recommend Tex's Star Grill. No matter your food-mood the fresh, made to order delights will appease your appetite and excite your taste buds.

    One of our favorite go to places for burgers. My sponsor is attracted because of the Spicy Home sauce. I like the burgers but my favorite is the Ruben combo. Today my sponsor maintained her #2 Combo 1/3 Chzburger. I was trying to decide between a hamburger and a Ruben. The owner had a special listed as #13 Goldenburger. It is a burger overlaid with pastrami. Hence my solution to making a decision. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the great service and clean atmosphere.

    Good with kids?

    Yes! The owner is friendly and the space is just like any other restaurant/ fast food space. I don't recall if there's a kids menu, but there's lots of options and the burgers and fries are awesome !!

Coming through North Richland Hills we were looking for a place to grab some lunch and came upon the Blue Mound Cafe. This is exactly the type of place I like to take in, so we stopped in! Walking in, the country music on the speaker system welcomed us about the same time the Hostess did, and we were escorted to our table. There were a LOT of choices on the menu here. I was tempted by the amazing Breakfast menu, but decided upon a Chili Cheese Burger with Hand-cut Fries. It ended up being a great choice, though looking at everyone else's food around us I am not sure there are any bad choices here!

    Waitresses... wow. What a spectacularly surly group of women. Blink twice if you need help…read more We waited forever for our food, and when it finally arrived, it looked like it had just finished swimming the English Channel in a vat of fryer oil. It was so oily it started dripping with the slightest touch. We've eaten here before and the food was actually pretty good, so maybe Saturdays come with a different and special cook. Today, though, it was a caricature of a true greasy spoon. Here's the thing: you can have rude waitresses if the food is amazing. You can have an old, run-down restaurant if the food is amazing. You can even get away with both. What you can't have is bad food, bad attitudes, and décor that looks like everyone stopped caring years ago. Congratulations--you've managed to hit the restaurant trifecta. We won't be back. Good luck. Judging by the collective mood in the place, I'm guessing someone dropped a house on your sister. Sorry for your loss.

And great people to add to the service and ambiance. This time we had the (1) Texas Strip steak, amazing baked potato and veggies. And, (2) a beautiful brisket Enchilada plate with a queso sauce on one and a sour cream sauce on the other, with steamed veggies and wild rice. All so very good!

Love our visits to Horizon 76!

    I was originally planning to go to another famous burger place in town, but this American food…read morerestaurant looked and sounded really good from the photos and menu and was close to my hotel. I visited during lunch so I took advantage of the lunch burger special for $3 off. Horizon 76 turned out to be good for another entree I was craving 2 days later, so I returned a 2nd time. They sat us in the same table unknowingly and I even sat in the same seat. We also had the same waiter and he of course remembered us and our drink order from last time. How's that for customer service? On my first visit I ordered a tea and original horizon burger and added a cup of chili, which isn't really listed on the menu but they can addit to your burger for a few dollars more. I had wanted to try the bone-in burger, but they don't offer it anymore. My friend who lives in Ft Worth had not heard of this place that opened around 2020, but then again he doesn't get out much. Burger - this is a very good burger and I would put it up against the best burgers in town. I don't live here, but I bet it would be in the top 3 for any burger enthusiast that likes thick burgers. The sweet sourdough bun really makes this taste even better, not to mention when you have steak blends in your patty, it elevates it quite a bit. Fries - I've had several duck fries around the country and these were not that good. Not much seasoning at all. Tasted like typical frozen breaded fries flash fried in duck fat. Side of chili - small amounts of anything are usually tasty, this chili is no exception. Filled with beans and comes in like a shot glass. They don't give you much as a side. I guess they prefer you to order the $16 chili entree. On my second visit, my buddy and I were craving a good chicken fried steak. We decided to visit here since you rarely see filet / tenderloin as the protein in CFS, plus knowing the burger was awesome, we figured the CFS was probably good too. For my sides, I chose grilled veggies and loaded baked potato. CFS - This was a good version but I didn't really like the breading due to its color and high flour content. I prefer a darker greasier one. The meat was what I came for mainly and it was really good tenderloin pounded pretty dang thin. Not overly breaded, surprisingly. The veggie medley is truly a mix of about 8 different veggies, which you rarely see. Most grilled veggie sides are 3-4 at most. Overall, my best friend was super impressed and now he wants to return to their BBQ restaurant next door. I was also impressed, but I would come back for a burger or another entree next time.

I placed the order online for pickup with no issues. Inside had a few tables for people that wanted to dine in, but there were only people picking up when I arrived. I only waited a few more minutes for it to be boxed up. We ordered the wings, fried fish, sausage, and rib tips. No complaints from anyone - everyone loved their food. I had the wings and they were really good - a bit spicy and loved the flavor. We will definitely get this again.

    We decided to order from this restaurant through the Too Good To Go app…read more I rarely write harsh reviews, but this experience deserves every bit of criticism. What happened today was unacceptable from the moment we walked in. The place was visibly dirty and completely unappetizing. The back area was mostly hidden behind what looked like a shower curtain, which did nothing to inspire confidence. There appeared to be only one man working, and he came out only a few times during the entire 45 minutes we waited. Even more concerning, there was a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old wearing latex gloves and repeatedly coming out to the front, apparently helping with restaurant tasks that no child should be doing. Despite having prepaid through Too Good To Go, no one acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes. We stood in a hot dining room with almost no air conditioning while the child wandered in and out and the adult remained behind the curtain. More people arrived behind us, also with prepaid orders, until there were about 10 people waiting. We watched three other customers receive their food before us. One was a DoorDash driver, which made sense, and one woman had arrived before us. However, another woman with a very small order was served ahead of us even though she arrived after we did. When the man finally came out, we showed him our Too Good To Go order. He swiped the app, marking our order as picked up, then disappeared behind the curtain again and never returned with our food. After waiting 45 minutes in a sweltering dining room on a nearly 100-degree Texas day, we gave up. We left without the food we had already paid for. At that point, losing the cost of the meal was preferable to staying in that environment any longer. This was one of the worst pickup experiences I have ever had. Between the unsanitary conditions, the lack of staff, the presence of a child apparently performing restaurant tasks, the complete absence of customer service, and the fact that we never even received the order we had already paid for, I can say with complete confidence: We will never return.

    Alright now, this place is a gem!…read more I work with someone who raves about this place, and I finally decided to try it. Walking in, the young lady at the register was so sweet and pleasant. I had an online order and arrived a bit early, she politely let me know there would be a little wait, and I did not mind. I would, much rather wait, than walk in twenty minutes early to see my food just sitting there. It is a small space, but one that comes with warmth. What I chose: Mixed Plate Teriyaki Beef - The first bite, YES! The meat was seasoned so well, I was afraid the teriyaki sauce would overtake the flavor; it didn't. Both, the sauce and the seasoning complemented each other very well. The beef was thinly sliced and free of fat. I can't stand enjoying a bite, and out of nowhere, boom, a piece of fat. I'm not a beef person, but I'm so happy I tried something different. Hamburger Steak: I couldn't wait to try this, it's delicious! The patty is plenty and well seasoned; it isn't heavily seasoned, but well seasoned. It was juicy and not dried out, which sometimes happens. The gravy was perfect, and went perfectly with the meat patty. Next time, I will ask for more gravy and onions. I love grilled onions with meat patties. With my order, I asked for steamed veggies, but received rice instead. I don't eat rice often, but this is the one time I was happy with the mishap. I had a small bit with the gravy and patty, delicious!! Sides: Mac Salad and Rice - I didn't order rice; instead, it should have been steamed veggies. As I said above, the rice ended up being a great mishap; it was perfect with my meat patty and gravy. The mac salad, sadly, I didn't like. It wasn't horrible, it just didn't hit the right taste buds. Chocolate Mac Nut Cheesecake: I only tasted a spoonful of this, but it was good. I wouldn't get it again, for me, it was too sweet. They do have another cheesecake, which looks like a plain cheesecake, with a sauce on top. That, I will try. Spam Musubi: There seems to be more rice than what I am used to, so I cut it in half, and it made for the perfect bite. This was more than enough food; I have plenty to take to work for lunch and will have more to enjoy for dinner. I am so happy I visited. I will definitely visit periodically for a hamburger steak, and I am anxious to try their panko shrimp. Add them to your list, it is a must!!
