We had a large group (16 people) and were amazed to be seated on a Sunday night right away. Our table was outside under the canopy of trees over looking the river. We were all surprised that it was not crazy hot or that the bugs were not bothering us. The food was great but the best part was the... More

Nothing out of the ordinary, more like processed chain food. Very plain salads, ordinary margaritas, weak sangria. View ver the river was nice if you can get a table.

My family took me to The Gristmill for Mother's Day. Anticipating a busy day, we arrived early and learned that the restaurant had opened early that morning, as they do once a month. Our meals were delicious, service was friendly and efficient, and the view was fantastic. Through the green umbrellas, we could see the river below. Although there is... More

We were fortunate that the weather was very mild when we made out visit. Our table was on a deck outside overlooking the river. Beautiful view to go along with good and well prepared food. Our waitress was excellent. Kept the ice tea glasses filled without having to ask. The prices were reasonable.

Found this to be a unique restaurant. When you enter you give your name and wander into a courtyard. There is a big chalk board where your name is written when your table is ready. Great margaritas to purchase while you wait. There is an extensive menu. It is an old mill that has been converted into a nice restaurant.... More

Seems like all roads in Gruene lead to The Gristmill. The food is OK; nothing to write home about, and nothing awful. It's a vast place that seems to go on forever. The waitstaff are not very polished, but you WILL get a lot of food. If you're hungry and aren't fussy, it's a good bet.

First make sure you order the onion rings. Second, go when you're real hungry as the portions are huge. Order the burger and you can't miss. Of course they have all the local brews and cocktails. This was a highlight of my visit to New Braunfels, Texas.
