    Wow did we luck out finding this gem of a place! From atmosphere, to service, to food...it's all…read moregreat! What a fun location as well tucked inside an RV park! We ordered the loaded grande nachos, the brisket sliders with Mac and cheese, and the queso and chips. We also got a side of their in house Cole slaw and sweet/spicy pickles. Let me tell you I will be dreaming about those pickles! Who just thinks to put pineapple in with pickles? This place! And it works. Christi was our server and she had a fantastic smile and was attentive to us. She also gave GREAT recommendations! We loved it all. Our two boys said best sliders hands down. If we lived here, this place would be a staple for us. I will be returning here anytime I'm in the area!

    It was lunch time again and I was looking for something to eat and this place popped up.Its kind of…read moreoff the beaten path.When I pulled in the place I looked around and thought I made a wrong turn or something because I was in a RV park.But no there the place was on the left hand side as you pull in.I walked into the place and one of the ladies in there told me to take a seat where ever I like.As I sat down I kind of looked around and it's kind of a small place but big enough.They have about a dozen tables and about 4 or 5 TV's hanging on the wall.They also had some 80's music playing which was right up my alley.Then the waitress came up and took my drink order.As she was getting my drink I looked at the menu and decided to get the sliced brisket sandwich with potato salad.I am really picky about my BBQ but I can say this sandwich was pretty solid.Really tender and had a good flavor to it.And the bun was nice and soft.Now the potato salad was a little on the chunky side which I prefer the smooth.But as far as taste it was pretty good.After I was done she came back to my table and asked if I wanted some cobbler or banana pudding.At the time I said no.But about 15 minutes later I changed my mind and got the cobbler.And I can say it was also pretty tasty.So overall I was very impressed.The food was good,the waitress was really great and friendly and the prices are reasonable for BBQ.I would definitely recommend this place.

    My wife and I recently made our second visit to Rio Brazos Grill, and the entire experience was…read moreexcellent. We don't think of it as often as we should because it is a bit of a drive outside Granbury, but this dinner reminded us that it is well worth the trip. We started by sharing the bacon and poblano jumbo lump crab cake. It was beautifully prepared, flavorful and an excellent beginning to the meal. I ordered the 6-ounce beef tenderloin prepared medium, with asparagus and half of a twice-loaded baked potato. The tenderloin was wonderful--extremely tender, remarkably flavorful and cooked exactly as requested. Wife ordered the Red Snapper A La Plancha. It was seared and served over wild rice and sautéed asparagus, then topped with roasted-corn salad and lemon beurre blanc. I don't typically consider myself a fan of red snapper, but after trying a bite of hers, I had to admit it was delicious. We finished with a bite or two each from the chocolate ganache plate, which was the perfect ending without being too much. What made the evening especially memorable was our server, Cynthia. To our surprise, we recognized her from La Crêperie in Granbury, where she previously cooked and presented special dinners. Cynthia is French, extremely knowledgeable about food and genuinely enjoyable to visit with. Her warmth, personality and attentive service elevated an already excellent meal. If you visit Rio Brazos, I strongly encourage you to ask for Cynthia. Great service can transform a good dinner into a memorable evening, and that is exactly what she did for us. Rio Brazos offers upscale food in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, with thoughtful presentation, quality ingredients and outstanding service. It may be a little outside town, but it is absolutely worth the drive. Rio Brazos Grill--and Cynthia--earned every one of these five stars.

    The rumors are true Rio Brazos Grill is fantastic. Not "good for a small town," not "surprisingly…read moredecent" just flat-out good. The kind of place where it's immediately obvious someone in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing, which already puts it ahead of most restaurants pretending to. The meal starts strong with flash-fried calamari Fresno chilies, sweet chili sauce, balanced heat, and a clean execution. It comes as strips, which feels a little safe. Rings or whole baby squid would've shown more technical confidence, but fine the flavor still delivers, and at the end of the day, that's what people actually remember. The Calabria chili shrimp follows with the same sense of control: spicy, but not trying to prove a point. Paired with grilled baguette, it does exactly what it's supposed to do support the dish instead of getting in the way. And then there's the Chicken Fried Ribeye, which sounds like a bad decision until you eat it. Crispy on the outside, rich and tender underneath, covered in black pepper gravy with buttermilk mashed potatoes, a potato nest, and because apparently restraint is optional--two fried quail eggs. It's excessive, but not stupid. That's a very fine line, and they walk it well. Chef Clint Connaway clearly has classical training--nobody just stumbles into a proper beurre blanc. The menu pulls from Southwestern, Native American, Mexican and French influences, which should feel chaotic but somehow doesn't. It works because the execution is consistent, even when the ideas get a little ambitious. That said, the place isn't perfect. The quail eggs show up so often they start to feel less like a signature and more like a habit. And for all the technical skill, there's a noticeable lack of local identity. With Bosque Ranch right down the road, it's hard not to wonder why more local beef isn't front and center. A stronger focus on seasonal or locally sourced ingredients would push this from great to something more grounded--something that actually tastes like where you are. And then there's the obvious question: why no brunch? A kitchen like this could absolutely dominate a brunch service. Instead, it's just... not happening, which feels like wasted potential. Still, none of that changes the core truth. The food is thoughtful, the technique is real, and most importantly you leave feeling satisfied instead of questioning your life choices. That alone is worth something.
