Love the Italian margaritas, chicken tortilla soup, hawaiian pork ribs, and others. Service can be a little slow in the bar at times.

We visit this place every time we're in Gruene. The service is great, the views are gorgeous, and the food is terrific. Try the chicken enchiladas or the gorgonzola burger. Delicious and very reasonably priced.

We actually ate there twice. Dinner was wonderful and they were able to make substitutions without a problem. I had a burger for lunch. It was a bit over cooked. Fries were tasty. They have indoor and outdoor eating area. I would have liked to eat outside and enjoy the river view but they still allow smoking outside. Too bad.... More

Went to the Gruene River Grill with a group of ladies for our monthly lunch. I like spicy food and the chicken enchiladas hit the spot! If you are not into spicy food don't order these. The restaurant sits back from the street on the river. Indoor and outdoor seating available. When you are done eating take the time to... More

We went to eat here on a Thursday evening. Should have know when just 3 tables had customers that this was not the place to be. My wife and a friend had the halibut and it was just awful. I mean bad!. We were guests of our friend and he just wanted us to let it go. The service was... More

This is a large and quaint restaurant overlooking the Guadalupe River in Gruene. Excellent service, large and reasonable menu and wine list. Several fireplaces and large built in bookshelves with interesting old books. Our first visit there and we like it much better than the other large restaurant nearby where we usually eat. Offstreet free parking, also.

Probably much better in the warmer months with the outside atmosphere and view, but it was amazing food and atmosphere when we visited as well. I would love to come back for short and t-shirt weather. Right down the road from Gruene Hall and overlooking the river.
