    Belgian waffle with strawberries.
    Don G.

    Solid diner experience. Some pluses some minuses. First time here. Entry is extremely nondescript but very friendly welcome and service once inside. Came for brunch / late breakfast. Reasonable prices but substitutions do cost extra even though it seems you had options. Denver omelet was good. Adding salsa, extra. Two pancakes are standard but when asked if I wanted something different - toast, English muffin, biscuit and gravy - figured it wouldn't entail an up charge. Chose a biscuit no gravy. Biscuit (one smallish) was outstanding but an extra charge which seems odd because the price as a side is less than the cost of one pancake as a side, much less two pancakes. Oh well. No big deal. Also ordered a side of grits. Not impressed. Very runny. Wife had a Belgium waffle topped with strawberries and whipped cream. It smelled great and sweet but she said strawberries were cold and mushy like they had been frozen. She left three on her plate but did like the actual waffle. All in all a mixed bag but the friendly service and reasonable prices saved the day.

    Came here on a whim and were so pleasantly surprised. You seat yourself and a server comes to you. All of the servers were very kind and chatty, and the food came to us fast and was hot. The food we got also came in large portions for a good price. They were out of espresso (so no latte) but the regular coffee was just as good. Then we were totally sold on their fresh fried cherry pie (which came among a large variety of other flavors). It has a nice homey diner vibe and didn't feel sticky or gross. Very clean and put together.

    Every 6 weeks I go to Granbury to get my hair done by the best hair stylist in NTX! This time Javiers daughter Ximena went with me & we were hungry so I looked up breakfast/brunch near the salon & this place came up. I have to say I hate giving this place this review because the front of the house of this place is amazing. The wait staff, the bus staff, the guys walking around asking if everything is everything ok ,taste ok, need more coffee, gets you seated. Wow they are amazing. Friendliest service I've seen in a long time. Play with the kids & speak to the guest almost like they are family, but the food. The food. This food was almost inedible. Maybe it's me, but i dont know because Ximena was with me & she was just moving stuff around on her plate too. When I asked do you like it & she said it's not very good. It has no flavor. She ordered the pork chop plate w/mashed potatoes & baked beans & a roll. I tasted her pork chop. It had absolutely no seasoning. Her roll tasted like pure flour. I ordered the patty melt. 1st it didn't look like any patty melt I have ever ordered anywhere ever before. It looked like a sad grilled cheese w/extra onions & a McDonald's patty. That's what it tasted like too. I opted for the onion rings which Whataburger onion rings taste better. I asked for a side of ranch & they must use an off brand ranch, it's not homemade nor hidden valley. It was very thick & flavorless. I did order coffee which is very strong & with 4 creams & a lot of sugar it was perfect. Again I'm sorry to write this about the food because every single person that enters that building the customers, employees, everyone was beyond nice & wanted to make your day better. This was just my experience. My hope is that everyone goes out still & try's this business because your taste buds could be different than mine & you may absolutely love it or maybe their extensive breakfast menu may be way better than the lunch. Who knows, just don't let this review stop you from trying them out. Their kindness deserves a stop.

    Very sweet breakfast spot with loads of classic diner dishes! We were seated quickly and well taken care of, even had the manager walking around chatting with customers. The portions were large and we all left with full bellies. The food was a bit overcooked and under seasoned, so pretty typical for these types of restaurants, but we got what we expected, so no one was disappointed! The hand pies were fine, worth a try, but I don't think I would get it again.

    I've been coming here for years but with a new manager about a year ago, I feel like I can tell the difference. Coming for breakfast won't be a quit even. This is a busy bustling diner with great hometown atmosphere. The manager is super kind and talks to his employees with a great smile. It's a mix of both old gen and new gen providing great service. The food is good, sometimes may be a wait but whose in hurry on a Sunday morning. The coffee is hot and they walk around making sure you received your service and are happy.

    Eggs Benedict
    Jessica H.

    This place was recommended to us. Certainly did not disappoint. Right away I knew it was going to be good because locals where waiting in line. We got seated fairly quickly. The service was absolutely great. The waitress came and checked on us often and brought everything out as was ordered and requested. The staff look like they enjoy their job and greet with a friendly face. The eggs Benedict were really good. My nephew ate his entire cheese/egg omelet and pancakes and he is a picky eater. My parents already enjoyed their plates. We recommended this place to other family which plan to go and we will certainly return when we are visiting again.

    Nice little brunch diner. Lots of options. The pancakes were really good. The benedict was pretty solid. The grilled ham was particularly good on the benedict here. The grits were mediocre but okay. They were more watery, but not bad. The sausage links were okay but tasted like jimmy dean sausage links, again not bad but okay. If you want brunch, you can get a lot of choices here, but not the best overall.

    It's pretty clear. But just know it's three small pancakes.

It being Sunday of Labor Day weekend meant everyone was in town, and it definitely slowed things down. There wasn't a single open table inside or outside. I wasn't sitting down for service, just grabbing things for the road, but I ordered a muffin and an iced Cinnamon Twist. I think I regret ordering the size as big as I did (their grande was like 24 oz iced) because it was quite milky (my fault), but the cinnamon and vanilla were good. The muffin was the true star of the show. It was huge, dense, and fluffy. A much-needed carb and sugar rush after my humid Granbury run.

The experience starts with the hostesses who seem to think they are working in a Michelin starred establishment. Then the disappointment moves into the dining experience. Poorly cut steaks, and items you'd find in a Cotton Patch cafe. All at a price point that screams "we are in a hotel in Granbury who thinks it is the Beverly Hilton, just minus the money, service, and accoutrements." The difference being that the restaurants in Beverly Hills actually live up to the expectations, and even they aren't so full of themselves. The experience does not even come close to living up to its price and value proposition. Save yourself the time and drive into Fort Worth or Dallas to dine at a nicer establishment that's worth the money and more in-line with the advertised expectation.

One stop in Granbury for my dad to look at an old car for sale led my mom to The Pan Handle to shop while he fantasized about purchasing the vehicle. I think by the time my mom left The Pan Handle, she was fantasizing about moving to Granbury. She called me immediately after shopping there to tell me what a great experience she'd had and returned home with a gift for me - a cutting board by the same brand of one I got her last year that she'd broken. While shopping, she told the story of the cutting board's demise to Sara in the store and Sara kindly offered to contact her rep for the brand. He knew nothing about the specific design (a map of the U.K.) but said he'd try to find it in warehouses across the U.S. He did and almost exactly a month later, that cutting board arrived at my mom's door, packaged securely by the Pan Handle with a note signed by Sara. Even I, at 29 years old, know customer service like this is hard to come by and that's why I'm giving 5-stars. Sara knew my mom wasn't from the area and quite possibly might never return to the store, but she did everything she could to make sure my mom had a pleasant experience. Because of this, I think The Pan Handle might have to be a stop on any trips we take "up north" in the future.
