We visited on Saturday night on Labor Day weekend, so there was quite a wait. We waited for about an hour, but there was a nice open area to hang out in. They also had some drinks for sale and a bathroom in that area. It was quite a peaceful wait. I was honestly not expecting what the restaurant was like. It is apparently made from the ruins of an old cotton mill. Therefore, seating is outside. The food and atmosphere were great! I had the Fresh Trout, which had a really good seasoning on it. My husband had the ribs, which were very tender and had a good sauce. Their Bloody Mary was also very good! It's definitely a place I would want to go again, but maybe not on a holiday weekend. We did notice that the poor waiters had to put up with a lot of people camping out at tables long after they were done, with so many people waiting for a table.
It's a super cute place to eat. The food was wonderful. Outside and inside seating. Nice views, waitstaff was polite and prompt. The onion rings were HUGE! The torpedo appetizers were delicious but more spice than I could handle. The hamburgers were large enough to fill up a grown man. The non alcoholic smoothies were so delicious and sweet! The kids' menu is verbally told to parents. I found that to be kind of odd. Overall, I'm very pleased with the visit. Parking: There was a large lot nearby that was free. There were several rows of vehicles, but plenty of people were coming and going that we got a spot near the street and walked down to the restaurant.
Over rated spot for the map here. This one has one hundred percent the feel of tourist/party attraction. The beer garden area was beet because there was live music and a nice green area for all the kiddos to run around together and play. The hostess girls were inviting and gave us a pretty accurate wait time expectancy. We chose to sit on the back patio to have a view of the river… well there is not a view of the river. There was tons of bugs that not only swarmed us but kept getting in our drinks and food. Also they seem to be way under staffed because although our waiter was good he was running all over the place. We started making sure we asked for anything possible because we were not sure when we would see him again. Our food took almost an hour. It was steaming hot and they have runners but wow be ready to spends extra time here. Below is our food which was good but way over priced. Onion rings were the regular and could definitely be cut one more time for fitting in your mouth better. Another bucket list visit that’s a one and done!
This was an awesome restaurant for the first time eating here, and I have no regrets but to say compliments to your chefs. The burger was awesomely delicious, and so was my spinach. Mushroom quesadillas were not shysty at all with the cheese very well made. I will recommend this place and didn't realize how huge it is. Hats off to your waitressing staff built a lot of leg muscles and all those stairs and carrying that giant plate above their heads. Wow. Take care of your staff Gristmill, that's a lot of walking. Overall, it was a great experience, and I will definitely come back and try other items on the menu. On another note, it does NOT have A/C throughout the whole restaurant. it's all ceiling fans and natural air whatever season it is. The only place that has A/C is the restrooms. So fyi. Watch your step and if you have kids plz have them seated and not wonder off thier chairs and run can make a bad accident occur with the staff being so overwhelmingly busy stay clear and just enjoy your meal and your day.
I ordered this salad without cheese, it’s the chicken salad with balsamic dressing- a great option for a hot day. It tasted good and was light, refreshing, and filling. Our waiter was attentive and filled glasses as soon as they were halfway empty - great service here!! If you’re visiting from a cooler climate, and sensitive to hot weather, I would not recommend coming here as it’s not air conditioned and there is only outdoor seating. Even the indoor seating at this location is basically outdoor seating with a roof. I would call and order ahead so you do not have to wait to be seated, although the wait was not bad. For parking, this area was busy- I believe we parked in a dirt parking lot nearby about a 6 minute walk from the actual restaurant. Dietary restrictions: I ordered salad without dairy.
The Gristmill is a Texas classic. Our latest visit was in the evening and it wasn’t as crowded as it typically is, allowing us excellent service. My chicken fried steak didn’t have enough meat and not as good as the last time I had it but the green beans were amazing and the rest of our dishes were outstanding.Food: 4/5
Very good food and sizeable portions. Restaurant is clean and i like the indoor dining area with windows so you can see the river but dine with air condition. We celebrated my son's birthday here and everyone was pleased. Parking: Great location that is right near everything in town also.
The beautiful grounds, amazing building, and the customer service alone would bring us back up The Gristmill. The food was fantastic too! We loved everything we tried. Don’t miss out on the onion rings. They are so so good and definitely live up to the hype! I had the chicken fried chicken and it was so juicy and tender! My boys both had the Grist burger and loved the spicy queso. My daughter had the pulled pork sandwich and really enjoyed it. My husband had the chicken fried steak—which I tried too and it was awesome! We were too full for dessert but I look forward to next time.
There is something mystical about a restaurant older than time still operating and going strong even in this economy. I first visited the Grist Mill around 1988 and fell in love with the ambiance. It is a concoction of modern-day and historical amenities set in a colonial Texas stone fortress. We'll, at least that's what if feels like. The food has been delicious since I was a child and for over 20 years and numerous visits, it has not disappointed.
Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Margaritas were excellent on a hot summer day in July! They had fans that were very refreshing. We will definitely be going again!Food: 5/5
