I had the pineapple steak with vegetables and a loaded baked potato. The vegetables were delicious green beans Broccoli something yellow lol but very tender and flavorful my baked potato was a real fully loaded baked potato with sour cream. I had a steak cooked to my liking and perfection and enjoyed the grilled pineapple. Service okay and Ambiance restaurant good. read more

Tumbleweed TexMex Grill & Margarita Bar - Tex-Mex Near Me - Floyds Knobs, Indiana

Tumbleweed is consistent. You know the menu and you love those margaritas and queso. What is special about the Floyds Knobs location is that it is spacious so you don't have to feel like you are part of the party next to you. Lots of friendly and eager service. (Thank you Lexi) Prices are in line with most sit down dining. read more

We went for the 60 and over lunch menu. I had the beef burrito deluxe and my husband had the sliders. Our waitress, Cindy, was fabulous! She anticipated our needs and made sure our water glasses were filled at all times. We really enjoy the apricot salsa. It's the best!! The store was bright with sun light and very pleasant to be there after our snow bound living these past fews weeks. We will be back! read more

It's been a decade or two since I ate at a Tumbleweed. Since we were in the area, we decided to take a chance. The greeting and service we received was outstanding. The place was clean and well-lit. The prices were a bit high for what we got. My daughter for the steak tacos and I had the "lunch" chimi with rice. We had water to drink and shared a small queso. Our total was just under $40. Honestly, the chimi was okay, but I'd forgotten the taste and consistency of the beef was really not that great. I brought half home. What really left me with a bad taste was when the bill came, there were two totals. One for cash, another (3% higher) if you opted to pay by card. Excuse me?! Nah. I tip your servers and now you want me to cover your credit card processing fees too!? I won't return. Every person has their tipping point and that is mine. read more

Service by Sarah F was amazing! Sweet. Attentive. Fast. Etc. Food was pretty much like I remembered it. Kinda hard to mess up chips salsa and buffalo chicken strips tho. Mex rice was pretty gummy but tasted ok. Was good for a nostalgia stop but wouldnt make it a regular. read more

The frozen margarita was not frozen and had no tequila in it. I've had many margaritas here and they are usually very good.

I have always loved the food at Tumbleweed! It's tradition to get a queso and chips when dining in. My wife likes the margaritas. Definitely our go to for our Tex mex fix!! read more

This place was filthy and every employee was on their phone. The bartender did nit know how to make a pina coloda. Would not recommend eating there. read more

Got carry out last night. It was a Saturday after 5 so I knew there would be a wait. I worked in food service for over 30 years and I know the drill. The lady in front of me was a complete a hole but that has nothing to do with my wonderful service and delicious dinner. They we're working their butts off in the kitchen. Great job. read more

When did they change their queso recipe? Tumbleweed is certainly not the same place as it was when I was a kid, but you could always count on the queso tasting the same. This is no longer true. Don't know if I get a bad batch or if this is the new recipe, but what I got tonight was not tumbleweed queso. Very sad about that. read more

Picked up carry out today. Unfortunately it was a bust. They forgot to add our queso to the order and of course we were too far away to go back. Then when we opened our beef burrito deluxe it was the smallest saddest burrito we've ever seen we had two dinners. We paid 40 and tipped , what we normally seen. When we called we talked to someone who wasn't really willing to do anything then left a message for mgr but he never returned the call. Deserved a credit. Pricing and quantity did not match. Saddens me that tumbleweed is now off my list. read more

Food was good and that's about it. When we walked in we were taken down the first aisle of small booths, 3 of which had staff sprawled out eating chips in them and on their phones. Maybe they were on break, maybe not, who knows. We were seated just down from there by the kitchen and there was another large booth with more staff sitting and eating with 3 additional staff standing at the table talking and goofing off with them. This lasted the entire time we were there. It very much felt like we were intruders eating in the staff break room. Extremely unprofessional. read more

Service was great. Food and drinks were pretty bad. Steaks were very over cooked and drinks were badly made. Our server was very attentive and polite though. read more

Tumbleweed really is a local institution. I have many fond memories of eating at this place from a very young age. Out of towners may struggle to see the appeal. Maybe Tumbleweed is just a local thing. But I can't imagine a time when I won't love it. read more

We ate there on a Friday night and they were not busy. The service was good - 4 star. The food was awful. My chicken tenders were overcooked and dry. My husband had a wrap and the waffle fries were overcooked. the wrap had cheese and he had asked for it without cheese. Both of our food orders were lukewarm. The portion size for the price was not good. It has gone down hill read more

Overview: Tumbleweed is a local restaurant that many of us love. I don't know what has happened to this Highlander Point location over the years. I went to eat at this location yesterday because my daughter wanted to go for her birthday. This was the first time I had visited in about a year due to my previous experience. There was not wait and we were seated quickly. Our drink order was taken fairly quickly along with a order for queso. It took approximately 10 minutes for our drinks to come out. We ordered when the drinks came. I asked for more chips, salsa and for 2 straws at this time. It took another 10 minutes or so to get more chips. We were advised at this time they were short staffed, which is the same thing I have been told in the past. It took over an hour to get our food from the time of ordering! Food: The food was fine, no issues but it is just average at best. The only good thing about the visit was that we had a 30% coupon. With that said the will was $30 before tip for 2 kids and 2 adults. With the hour wait to get our food my kids just wanted to go home instead of having the ice cream that was to come with their food. Service: The service is just not good. Thinking about the past few years, there are more times were service is bad than good. When I say service, this includes the time it takes to get food to the table. Conclusion: Food is average at best. Service (including time to get food to the table) was terrible and I have had this experience in the past. Food is over prices for what it is and given the service. Tumbleweed is NOT on my list of restaurants that I visit. If you want Mexican or tex/mex food, you are better off visiting one of the local Mexican restaurants. read more

Ordered curbside online. When I arrived they said they weren't doing curbside. If that's the case you should disable the option to do so. They are too lazy to bring the food to your curbside spot. DONT OFFER CURBSIDE IF YOU CANT DO CURBSIDE. read more

Love the potato skins, taco salad, beef burrito enchilada style, chili con queso, apricot salsa (they aren't going to serve it anymore-what a shame), happy hour (recently changed from half-price to 30% off), and 99cent margaritas on Mondays. Oh, and they used to serve a delicious dressing for your salad that I think was called Calypso dressing. Wish they would bring that back. Someone said they thought it was ranch dressing with bbq sauce mixed in. read more

Took the family here for lunch, portions are massive, food was hot and very delicious!!!The service was amazing!! Place wasn't very busy but it was still early. Highly recommend!!! read more

I ordered takeout on line. Order was ready. The Spare Ribs were so salty all through the meat, not just the top. They were edible but unlikely to return to this restaurant. The sides were mediocre at best. If it had been earlier in the evening I would have returned both meals! read more

Beer served in room temperature glass. Baked potato slightly borderline of not being fresh, but room temperature along side my burnt bun sliders. Good new chips were fresh and mango salsa was a nice change. Not busy but got placed in what wait staff called the "hole". The salmon was good but served on odd room temperature potato slices and the rice had something very spicy in it. read more

Service was good, but the food, in general, was mediocre. Will not eat at any Tumbleweed again.

The queso dip was terrible and nothing like it used to be. Chips were greasy. I ordered the chicken burrito which was cold in the middle so I guess they hadn't nuked it long enough. This on top of a dirty fork equals I won't be back! read more

I hate to diss an entire chain, even if it's local, but yuck. This place does generate a lot of traffic, and that's scary. The "salsa" tastes ketchup based. The beef is overcooked. It doesn't taste like any Mexican food I've ever eaten (or Tex-Mex). It's one step up from McDonald's. Actually it's McDonald's with table service. read more

This place is always cold. I wish they would realize that customers are not running around waiting on tables and are cold. Every customer has a jacket on and all the staff are in T-shirts. Bundle up and enjoy the food! read more

I love Tumbleweed, a and appreciate that they're there for us during this time with being stuck at home because of COVID-19. Everything we ordered was delicious, thank you to the people working through this COVID-19. read more

If you're ever in need of a great restaurant, this should be your first choice. The food was great, and although most of their items were spicy, they were still pretty good. Mixed drinks were awesome. All of the Billy's (inside joke) were super nice, and our waitress was super awesome as well. If only we had one in CT we'd be going a lot. read more

We went to Tumbleweed on a Friday night with a group of 5 adults and one child. The wait was as expected for a restaurant in the area- about 15 minutes. The service that we received was a bit below standard and this is the only reason that I am deducting a star from my rating. Every other part of our experience was excellent. Our waitress was slow to take our drink order and even slower to bring the drinks. Only after being prompted (after she took the dinner order) were we able to submit our order for an appetizer. The waitress seemed to struggle with keeping our drinks filled and eventually just brought pitchers to our table. This was fine with us; we didn't like waiting for our drinks to be refilled anyways. Our table shared the queso dip and chip appetizer. Everyone loved the queso. We were also served complimentary hot, mild, and apricot salsas. While the hot was way too spicy for me, everyone else enjoyed it a lot. My husband ordered the taco salad with grilled marinated chicken. He requested that they add their house-made croutons, which he described as "heavenly little pillows of delicious". I ordered the enchilada dinner, which comes with one beef, one chicken, and one cheese enchilada. The dinner could be served enchilada style (red sauce), queso style (cheese sauce), or sour cream style (sour cream and cheese). I chose to have both enchilada sauce and queso on my enchiladas and couldn't have been more pleased with my choice. The dinner was offered with rice and beans, for which I substituted jalapeno cornbread. The bill totaled just over $100 after our appetizer, meals, drinks, and tip, making this a very affordable and delicious dinner choice. read more

Similar to what nearly everyone else has said in other reviews, this restraunt and the others in the chain are garbage. I ordered the fajitas today. I'm positive the peppers and onion came from a can. It tasted and looked quite similar to rotting trash and vomit. Buyer beware. Absolutely awful and a complete embarrassment to food. One can see why the chain is struggling financially. Try using fresh vegetables or not cooking the food a week in advance. Robert read more

Let me start by saying that I've always loved Tumbleweed's food. However, over time the prices just seem to high for what you're getting, and the restaurant seems like it has a dingy smell to it. I don't know if I'll ever go back after eating there for years. read more

Wow, this place is bad. Walked up to the bar. It was filthy, dirty plates from other people that had been sitting there for some time. They were not even busy. I've worked in food service and always give the benefit of the doubt but this was way bad. Service was mediocre at best. Marg I ordered tasted watered down and no taste of tequila. Won't be back. read more

Love this place, service been good chips are fresh. They have sweet tea!! Great place to eat at read more

Hmmm where do I begin......I realize that this part of the world may not offer the best when it comes to decent Mexican food. I do however realize the difference between being served food and not some slop that I wouldn't even feed my dog! News flash....queso is not a traditional Hispanic staple, so take that garbage back to the kitchen. Ordered a bean and cheese burrito, and beans n rice on the side. It tasted like pigeon shit, no I take that back because I'm sure that pigeon shit has more flavor than what was served on my plate.... I don't expect this to be food that I can get from a little Mexican lady's house, but if you're going to advertise Mexican food/Tex Mex at least make a decent effort for the food to taste like it. Frozen bean burritos from the gas station would be better than anything that is on this menu.....oh and if you're looking for a detox to clean you bowels...anything on this menu will do the trick. read more

I ordered carry out. Poor choice on my part. Food was over cooked and I guess they ran out of regular lettuce for my salad. I received the shredded lettuce that is normally atop the Mexican dishes. read more

I think this restaurant is incredible. I really enjoy the Tex-Mex feel and food combination and the margarita bar. The crew is very respectful and responsible and I love how the managers touch every table and will do anything for their customers. Food is great as well - you can never go wrong with a queso or tableside quac. read more

Every time I come here I am disappointed. Sometimes bad service, especially in the bar. Once I ordered table top guacamole and the server dropped sweat in it. They don't keep bar stocked up enough for weekend crowd. No more chances. Not returning. read more

Every Time I've been here in the last 5 years or so years the food is less than desirable. I've never take leftovers home unless it's to give to the dogs, and even they complain about it sometimes. The service is okay, so unless you're going for margarita and chips and salsa pick something else. read more

Yuck. Absolutely Worst Mexican food, worst service and high prices. Can't give them any part of a star. Such a shame. We need GOOD restaurants in the Knobs. There aren't any..., read more

10 years ago this was 5 stars easy. It was a struggle to give it 2. Somehow the food quality has gone down and prices went up. So so service. They can bring the food out in record time but if it doesnt taste good what's the point. It tastes like much of the food is pre packaged and reheated. The restaurant is still nice. Just a shame they allowed what was once a quality resturaunt let it become sub par. read more
