Wow, what a great place. We've been asked to go, and now we have. Very casual dining, plenty of seating, outdoors as well, I believe. We had a party of 20 plus and they accommodated us with ease. We were sat at two long tables, and we had two waitresses to take care of us, and they did. Super job from the whole staff. Very friendly and polite. I had the chicken fried steak, the portion was large, took up the whole plate. The meat was all the way to the edge, with the breading. Just the way it should be. I had Mac and cheese, and cream corn. Very good tasting. Maria had the chicken strips with gravy and fries. I'm not much a fan of steak fries, but these were done perfectly. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Andrew had the chicken Alfredo, what a meal, especially for an 11year old, but he took care of that plate all by himself. We also had a slice of coconut cream pie, oh boy, it was so good. For some reason, my pictures won't post. read more

Food was great...server not so friendly. I caught her rolling her eyes when I asked for more napkins. We were not asked if we would like dessert and she literally tossed the check on the table as she walked by...I am trying to figure out what the heck we did to piss her off. read more

The food is good and the wait staff are very good and friendly. The girls after awhile become more than just wait staff they become family

The no-frills restaurant itself is very basic with not much character but what the design and decor lack, the food more than makes up for. Home-style country kitchen just like you're sitting in a home kitchen on someone's farm or ranch. The ingredients are fresh and locally sourced. The staff are delightful and down to earth. read more

Seguin's best lunch place! Good Reuben and Monte Cristo sandwiches! I really like the "Black-n-Blue Bacon burger!

Absolutely amazing food! Had the Ruben with their homemade lemonade....delicious! They brought us out a lovely tasting of a pastry, almond croissant w/ powdered sugar, that they were considering putting on the menu...so yummy! Needs to be on the dessert menu! My husband had the ginormous chicken fried steak....he couldn't finish it, he said the steak was very tender.... Service was lovely, everyone was very friendly and accommodating. A must stop an try here in Seguin Texas....you won't be disappointed read more

The 1838 Grill - Cheeseburger steak fries - Seafood Near Me - Seguin, Texas

Excellent hamburgers. Beef is the best ever. They ground the meat fresh and you can tell it. I don't care for the fries, they don't taste fresh and I don't care for the potato salad so suggest chips. read more

My wife and I had a couple good meals with some even better service. This place was pretty full and we had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated, popular place around 1 pm on a Sunday. Our server Sandy was fast and friendly. Wifey got chicken fried chicken with a side salad and fried okra. I enjoyed a chicken fried steak. My two sides were green beans and fried okra, tasty. Both meals were very good, the only star removing issue we had was the breading came off the protein when it was cut....that's one of my criteria....the breading should stay on the for the most part. read more

I waited 5 minutes to be seated and over 10 minutes to not get waited on. It was 1:30, so they wete only half occupied. Jeard good things about their chicken fries, but their service is non existent. read more

The place had a okayish ambiance They took 40 minutes for my food to arrive They brought my food last out my whole table which took a additional 5 minutes for it to come out The catfish I order was bland no flavor no heart what so ever I was disappointed, The shrimp TERRIBLE NO FLAVOR just bland, the best thing were the hush puppies. They tried charging me a coke I didn't even order (I got water) Not worth 22 bucks 1/5 read more

The food is great,the service is outstanding. I have eaten there for lunch and have had to get a to-go container. The service was great but if you go between 11:30 and 1:00 they will be busy. But it's worth it! read more

Should have ordered bun-less. Finding gluten-free meals while traveling on the interstate is impossible so we frequently go off the highway to try local places. Today I was praying for a gluten-free bun bc the restaurant was right by an HEB. Unfortunately, no such luck for me. Hubby ordered the Swiss mushroom burger & was not disappointed. Bun looked fresh & patty was a full 1/2 lb. It came with steak fries which were so good. I chickened out of going bun less (as suggested by the waitress) and ordered the "ultimate" chef salad which was mediocre at best. My salad did not include all the listed ingredients, had very little lettuce, and was made with mid-grade deli meat the amount of which was overwhelming. The wait staff was good & the restaurant was clean. Other customers' food looked delicious just not the salad I ordered. read more

The chili enchiladas with beans and rice were absolutely fantastic!! The pinto beans were so flavorful and tasted homemade. I was here for lunch; the place was packed, but my lunch came out quickly and piping hot...and soooo tasty!! read more

I had not visited this grill in some time. So I decided to give it a try and was professionally greated by a nice gentleman. He sat me in Sandy's section who promptly came to see if I needed a beverage. I received a fresh ice tea with lemon. I told her I was ready to order and I ordered the Chicken Taco Salad. It was freshly made with crisp lettuce, tomatoes, with side kicks of sour cream and avacodo. I didn't get a dressing as I asked for the salsa. It was so tasty that I asked for additional. They did have a great selection of daily specials and the cakes are home made by the owner I understand and are a heafty servicing I saw. All in all Sandy was jolly on the spot and got what ever was needed. You don't find outstanding wait staff like now days. Hats off to Sandy! Keep up the great work The 1838 Grill!! read more

The 1838 Grill - Chicken Taco Salad - Seafood Near Me - Seguin, Texas

Started off with their fried mushrooms and they are big. One of the few places I have been able to get fried mushrooms of this size. If you are wanting a warm sandwich, get their Reuben sandwich. Very flavorful and it wasn't overpowered by their sauerkraut. Descent service in this packed establishment. A couple items tasted cold but they were very quick to replace it with another item and was frequent when filling up our drinks. Place was kept clean, was not a noisy atmosphere and price was reasonable ($$) read more

Ended up at the 1838 Grill because it was recommended by one of the business owners in Seguin. We could tell this was a popular spot with many filled tables. We were seated after a few minutes and the service was pretty good. Even though our waitress was training someone, she was very quick with drinks and taking our order. The food at the Grill is pretty standard lunch food. They had some notable standouts such as their Liver and Onions and their Chicken Pot Pie special. I ordered the Seguin Club (10.49), which was very good. In fact, we all enjoyed the food and atmosphere. There was a constant flow of people, but they had plenty of staff and service was fast and good. Great place for lunch if you happen to be in Seguin. read more

This place is phenomenal! Our server Julie was helpful, and had great suggestions. We had the cilantro enchiladas and the taco salad. Both were flavorful and with generous portions. Service was quick, and I would definitely find myself here again for a great meal! read more

Came here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the size. They had plenty of seats and we did not have to wait long to be seated. The biggest negative was the amount of noise in the restaurant, lots of tile, and little sound proofing made for voices to carry and made it a little difficult to talk to the people you're sitting with. The host who served us was very quiet, however the servers talked clear and loud enough for us to hear. All of the food was pretty good. Served hot, and I thought the quality and quantity for the price were very reasonable. Having said that this is very casual. Will defiantly return if I'm looking for something quick and easy for lunch. read more
