It's harder to find a good CFS. About the last 3 I've had (At very popular CFS restaurants), have all been a tough piece of meat that oddly enough, all sweated the crust off them, so that you could pull the whole piece of meat out of the crust. Campfire Grill says the meat and the crust should not separate as you cut into it. Top it with some obvious home made gravy and you're good to go. read more

I really can't believe I didn't take more pictures. Service was outstanding. We came here on a whim with our church group of 15 people. They made accommodations for us even without advanced notice. We went down the menu pretty much. Appetizers were the fried bacon and Texas tumbleweeds. both were out of this world. We all had different main dishes but I had the chicken fried steak, which was really good. I shared the banana pudding with my wife and that was also great. I was told the peach cobbler was really good too. I also really loved their prayer wall. Take and prayer and leave a prayer. Can't wait to come back to town and try this place again. read more

My wife and I've kept hearing how we MUST visit Campfire Grill Texas Kitchen and how ALL the food was SO good. Finally, we headed to see what all the allocates were about. We soon found out that all that we heard was true, our visit was phenomenal that started with a warm friendly greeting when we entered the restaurant. With the wonderful signage, we knew we needed to order at the counter where we would receive a number to put on our table. We had to step back for a bit looking up at the menu boards showing all the deliciousness that we could partake in. Gosh, could I have one of everything? My wife said NO you can't. Everything sounded so good. After some "cussing and discussing" we decided on our entrees. My wife opted for the BLT with fries, and I choose the Combo seafood platter with fried catfish and shrimp. I'd never met a catfish I didn't love! We also HAD to order the peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream to top off our meal. The restaurant was super clean, well kept up and decorated nicely. They have a neat thing, "The Giving Wall." The restaurant picks out 6 charities to support, customers stick their meal receipts in the box and the charity with the highest dollar amount in the box, gets a 10% donation for the month. What a wonderful gesture on the restaurant's behalf. After a short wait. our entrees were brought to our table and everything looked so delicious. Guess what it was! My wife said the BLT, which was stuffed to the brim with bacon. She said it was one of the best BLT's she's ever had. My catfish/shrimp combo platter was wonderful. The shrimp and were fried to perfection and had a wonderful batter on them. My hushpuppies were the perfect accompaniment to the patter along with the Cole slaw. Both of our French fries were prepared perfectly and not greasy at all. Right when we were finishing our delicious entrees, here come the peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. It had a great crunchy topping to it and the peaches were so tender. What an incredible way to end our meal. Thank you, Campfire Grill, for a wonderful first visit, it won't be our last. read more

As a dedicated explorer of all things fried fish, I'm always on the hunt for the best spots to satisfy my cravings. Imagine my delight when I stumbled upon Campfire Grill, a Black-owned gem right in my neighborhood of North Richland Hills! It was Fried Fish Friday, and they had a catfish special that was calling my name. Let me tell you, this was some of the BEST catfish I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and not a hint of fishy taste. The sides were equally delicious and complemented the fish beautifully. But the real star of the show was the banana pudding. Oh. My. Goodness. It had a cheesecake-like consistency that was rich, creamy, and absolutely heavenly. The atmosphere at Campfire Grill was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and efficient. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu. This place has definitely earned a spot on my regular Fried Fish Friday rotation! read more

We found this place when we were in the area. It is an eclectic mix of Southern food with a Chicago feel. You can find Chicken Fried Steak, an Italian Sausage Sandwich, and Gyro Wrap. It has quite the local following and seems like it would be a great spot to be featured on The Food Channel's Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. We had the Patti Melt, Salad with Gyro Meat, and Pumpkin Cheesecake. It was all tasty. The atmosphere is very casual, the service was prompt but they do have quite a few To Go Orders, and the food was delicious. We will definitely come back again. read more

My husband, myself, and our three kids enjoy coming here! Food is always warm, fresh, and full of great flavor. I especially love the blackened chicken dish (so juicy!) and my husband is a fan of the fried catfish combo plate. My son loves the burger and fruit and daughter always gets chicken tender and seasoned fries! Delicious! I didn't snap a pic of our meal tonight, but did manage to get one of the dessert! Super yummy. Brownie with vanilla ice cream. Service here is always great and workers are very kind and welcoming. Over all, the restaurant is very family-friendly and very homey feeling. Will definitely be back! Thank you Campfire grill! read more

This place has been on my list to visit for a long time. So we decided to give it a shot on a Saturday afternoon. Very pleasantly surprised to see how clean and nice it was inside. I was impressed that tables were cleaned and it always gives me comfort when a restaurant takes pride in their dining room. So it's a country kitchen with some souls food mixed in. I didn't realize this but was happy, since I grew up in the Deep South and appreciate good soul food. Loved seeing family working here and their young kids learning a good work ethic. They were all so friendly and helpful. We ordered a chicken dumpling as an appliance then I decided on the chicken fried steak and my wife ordered the fried catfish plate. Let me tell you about that scrumptious chicken and dumplings. Some of the best I remember. I could order a bowl just for my lunch next time. Then I got my chicken fried steak and was very happy with it. Great size, breading and taste. The only thing I didn't like was the gravy. It wasn't the traditional white gravy and detracted slightly from the great taste. It wasn't bad though. My wife loved her catfish. I liked that it wasn't too salty like some places make it. Overall we will come back. Very good food and a good value. read more

I really wanted a decent burger, and reviews here were excellent.. I got the burger and added cheese and jalapenos (kinda expensive to cost $1 for a slice of cheese, and $1 for like 6 slices of jalapenos. The burger tasted good, though. My biggest complaint was the fries which were nearly flavors since not enough of that seasoning salt on mine. Why remove a star? The cost of even adding 1 slice of cheese or a couple of jalapenos, is ridiculous. They also couldn't put mustard on the burger and just put a little in a small portion cup Also I ordered the banana pudding (all of this was a to-go order, so can eat in my car while jamming music). For it being a to-go order, they didn't put any napkins in my bag which is usually standard, and didn't even put a spoon in for my pudding (ended up running to QT to get a spoon, since that was near where pulled over to eat). So they will nickel and dime you here and not include stuff usually needed in to-go orders. But burger was good, so kinda on the fence about if I wanna come here again, despite so many good reviews read more

Consistency is key here. The food is always good. The people are always nice. And it's nice to support a local restaurant.

The food was awful last night - we had a burger which wasn't too bad , the chicken fried steak was freezer burnt and the gravy was like water. It seems like the place was sold and new cooks or owners. Not good. read more

The food here always comes out hot, seasoned, and fresh. The service is so friendly, and they go above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. The decor is fantastic! We always enjoy coming here. This time I had the meatloaf sandwich and fries. I got a thick, juicy sandwich with sautéed onions and bbq sauce on it. My friend had the chicken fried steak dinner. Let me tell you, there was no gristle anywhere! So tender! read more

Definitely among the best!!! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to some Southern comfort food for your soul.

You guys are my new favorite spot. read more

My brother and I decided to pop in to Campfire Grill after his doctor's appointment in the same plaza. If you like home style cooking, get in your car and head on over! Bubba got the lunch special order of the BBQ meatloaf, with green beans and mac & cheese, which was an upgrade at only .50¢ and I got the Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. First off, the green beans are DELICIOUS, oh my goodnesssssss, I could eat a bowl of those all by themselves! The CFS was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Really good. The mashed potatoes were silky and flavorful, and that gravy... no packaged gravy there, it was like what my Mamaw used to make! We will be putting Campfire grill in our rotation for sure, the staff was also incredibly friendly, I did knock one star off for the whole Menu up on screens above the order window literally ceiling height, that's just a personal preference for me, the whole dining experience is minimized if I have to go to a window like a concession stand at a ball game. They seem to have a pretty extensive menu, but the psychological pressure to find what I want while people are impatiently standing behind me is so icky. But the other reason I took off a star is the POS system asking me for a tip. What???? I have to order my food at a window, fill my own drink, and gather my silverware? I think it's crummy. If you want me to pay for your staff, just build the tip into the cost of the meal and pay them better. So going forward we will probably get our order to go, but it's the overall experience, of not having table service, not the tip lol, we prefer table service because I'm disabled, along with my brother. Good food for sure, so don't sleep on trying them out if you're craving some good Texas home cooking! read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend. Ordered a hamburger and fries. Asked for my hamburger to be cooked medium rare, not well done like places usually do, and asked for my fries crispy. Both came out just as I asked, and they came over to the table to make sure! Was tempted to try the banana pudding but will save that for another time. Will definitely be back. read more

Not sure about this place it's alright place food was good but it's kinda expensive dish it's 12+ for a little small portion of food

Came back again and it was just as good as the first time we checked the place out which prior to the pandemic. The food still had great flavor. I had a kids meal with Mac & cheese and mash potatoes with cream gravy. The Mac & cheese had really good flavor and was creamy. The potato's had some skin left on and the gravy had real bacon in it. The kids meal comes with a drink. My fiancé got the daily special which is $3 cheaper than regular price. He got the chicken fried chicken with mash potatoes and gravy and corn. The chicken was cooked just right not dry at all the breading was crispy and had a good flavor. We split the banana pudding and it had chucks of banana in it and was so yummy! I hope we make it back sooner and not wait so long. read more

Campfire isn't as good as it used to be. The place wasn't very clean and the service was decent. The food wasn't great but I love how they play Christian music but that's about it for this place. read more

this place is more like a 4.25 out of 5 stars. i really don't want to even bring this up, but when we walked in, there were a lot of over weight people dining there. I guess that's a good thing, cuz it meant the food must be good, right? lol. Anyways, we ended up getting the chicken fried steak, fried porkchop (friday special) and a banana pudding. The entrees will come with green bean soup and two slices of texas toast. The chicken fried speak came with some rice (dirty rice?) and the fried porkchop came with mashed potatoes. Honestly, all the food was really filling and delicious. I really enjoyed the chicken fried steak, and if you add hot sauce, it makes it 2x as good. Food didn't take too long for the kitchen to make, and service was friendly. We also something to drink, and i don't think i've seen a restaurant with Kool-Aid. very cool. (also if you're looking for sauce, they will keep all the sauces under the soda machine) I didn't end up asking for a receipt, but apparently if you do, you can put it into one of the boxes on the wall, and they'll donate to that charity you pick. read more

This place has great home cooking and one of the best Chicken Fried Steaks around. The gravy won't be mistaken for a mix because of the look and texture. It looks to show some grease drippings involved in its rue starter, so my wife (who doesn't eat red meat) and I have a pre-arranged "don't ask, don't tell" policy... read more

We tried this place out because of the reviews, but I'm not understanding why it has 4.5 stars. The food was just ok- I had the bbq meatloaf, hubby had the grilled chicken sandwich and our kids had burgers. Maybe other items on the menu are better? It has a cute rustic country vibe but the place was just not clean. The booth table and seat were sticky and there was old food stuck in all the crevices of the table top. The drink area looked like it hadn't gotten wiped down in a while either and there was caked up dirt/dust on the ledges, fans and other areas. I have an issue with eating in a place that doesn't look/feel clean because what does the kitchen (that you can't see) look like. Definitely won't go back. read more

Perfect spot for comfort food! Tucked in a shopping center campfire offers hot and quick service. Gives very much hole in the wall dive type of restaurant. Excellent food! Catfish was fried perfect and the gravy on the chicken fried steak was delightful. 10/10 would dine again! read more

A pleasant surprise tucked away in a strip mall! This place is simple and simply delicious. Wanted some home cooking and found just that. The decor was Texas themed and minimal and the menu was large with many American favorites. I got the chicken strips with fries and my husband got the patty melt. My food was great and the fries were perfect. My husband also enjoyed his sandwich. Also servers were so nice and helpful! We will definitely be back! read more

We absolutely loved Campfire Grill Texas Kitchen! The food was great and the whole family loved their dishes. We had catfish, burgers, and meatloaf plus fries and okra - everything was tasty! The service was excellent - friendly and eager to help. I loved the decor and atmosphere as well. I highly recommend this place to any family or anyone wanting some good home cooking. Another thing that stuck out to me was the donation boxes on the wall - this restaurant gives back to Veterans, First Responders, and other incredible charities. It is obvious the folks running this restaurant are wonderful people! read more

Okay I am probably being g hard on these guys. It's more me then them. This looks like a nice family run place. And it was consistently busy. I am from Ohio. I am only in the area and in Texas for business for a few days. Looking for something unique to eat. Good ratings so I came here. I ordered the chicken fried steak. I have never had chicken fried steak in my life. It was way too much for me. Not really what I would order again. Not the restaurants fault. It was good. Lots of food. Very heavy meal. Not something I'd get again. Just not me. That's why I am not faulting them. Not their deal just mine. They have fried chicken and a burger. Both of those probably more my speed. Very rich gravy and heavy. Not use to that and mash potatoes and green beans. Wow it was like a large food baby. I had to go walk it off for a bit. If you like southern cooking this is it. It's good. If you are like me and not so much I to the heavy gravy and that type of meal then maybe not as ideal for you. Try the burger. read more
