The Grille — Restaurant in Pauls Valley

Late dinner here at the Grille proved to be well worth the stop of off I-35. On a Thursday night it's not easy to find a decent kitchen in this area that's opened past 9 pm, but this place is open till 10:00 pm. Just like most of the other reviews, our party of 5 was seated and our drink order was taken immediately. Not one time throughout the meal did Anthony let any of the drinks get below half full. As a table, we ordered 2 different burger meals (bourbon bacon, and jalapeño burger), the cajun shrimp entrée, the chicken tenders kids meal and the avocado blue cheese salad. The burgers were very good (see pic below), cooked medium well and the toppings were adequate and very tasty. The cajun shrimp was fantastic and the sauce that came with it did not dissapoint. The chicken tenders reminded me of a moist, beer battered tender not like the normal pub fare over cooked dry tender that is as dry as a popcorn fart. These were very, very tasty. All of the above listed meals came with seasoned fries, although you could add sweet potato fries or Onion rings for an additional cost. Everyone said that the fries were very good, and I agreed. The salad was very big and my wife only found one bad piece of salad, which wasn't old but just the butt end of the head of lettuce. No big deal. The dressing was tasty, and all the acoutrements were also freshly prepared (sliced hard boiled egg, bacon, blue cheese crumbles, avocado slices, croutons, tomatoes, green peppers, onions, cucumbers). Kids ordered sweet teas to drink and they were pleasantly mixed with more like a 50/50 mix of sweet and unsweetened tea unlike the mom and pop beetus teas that are overly sweet. Beers were tasty and properly chilled.

All in all this place was phenomenal and knocked it out of the park. Food was great, came out hot like it had just been cooked and the staff did an excellent job. Will...

Over priced, borderline gross to mediocre food depending on what you order, & small portions to boot. Nothing worth bragging about here. Would not recommend. Won't be back.

Edit I notice that your response to the negative reviews is to tell the customers they should speak to the manager during their visit. Not everything needs to go down that way. Sometimes an unpleasant experience is just an unpleasant experience, so I suggest maybe just appreciate the honest reviews and move forward. No, everyone does Not need to speak to the manager. Regardless of the copious amounts of social media you may consume, I promise you that the world is not Full of "Karens".

Why spoil a date or a family gathering by bringing the manager to the table and embarrassing anyone else that may not want to be involved? Do YOU request to speak to the manager at Every establishment you've ever been dissatisfied with? If so.. I find that very interesting...

On the plus side for you & your restaurant, it appears that the patrons seem to overwhelmingly enjoy dining there as opposed to the latter, so I'd heed the advice in just accepting your few losses as losses. No restaurant in existence can please EVERYONE. Our family just happens to be one of those seemingly few that didn't enjoy yours. The waitresses were very nice. No...

A Perfect Venue for Our Company Christmas Party

We recently hosted our company Christmas party and ugly sweater contest at this fantastic restaurant, and it was an absolute hit! The venue provided the perfect festive atmosphere for our gathering, and everything about the evening exceeded our expectations.

The service was phenomenal, with Hevan serving as both our server and bartender. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and warm demeanor made everyone feel welcome. Assisting waitresses Kaylee and Destiny were equally impressive, ensuring that the food was served promptly and all our needs were met throughout the evening.

The food was top-notch! The steaks were cooked to perfection exactly as ordered, and the quality was outstanding. The appetizers were diverse, plentiful, and delicious, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

To top it all off, Tyler Russell performed during the evening, providing an unexpected and thoroughly enjoyable addition to the night’s entertainment. It added a lively and festive energy to an already fantastic evening.

I would highly recommend this restaurant for any company party or special event. Great food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere – they truly made our night...
