Typical country bar and restaurant. Super casual atmosphere. Not your traditional stuffy steakhouse. Burgers a good!! Steak Melt was a glorified grilled cheese sandwich For a steakhouse, I was expecting more than one little slice, an inch wide. Dining partners said the burgers were great!! My favorite was the fries!! Oh ya!! They are delicious!! read more

Grif’s Steakhouse - Steak Melt- fries are my all time favorite!! Steak melt is a grilled cheese sandwich with a little slice of steak and lots of onions. - Steakhouses Near Me - Shamrock, Texas

Delicious down home food with excellent service. Today's special was fried catfish, with light cornbread breading. The homemade fries and fresh coleslaw were the perfect sides. Others in our group enjoyed the chicken fried steak. Not a huge menu but great food! read more

The pork chop is terrific!!!! Seldom will you find a place that knows how to prepare pork but this place does.

Great breakfast food with a very nice waitress! Will plan on going again. This is a true small-town diner.

If you are in the area or driving by you must stop in Shamrock, TX. This place is a must visit, Great food, great service, everyone was very nice, especially our server Mackenzie! We had the bacon wrapped jalapeños, 10 oz ribeye, and the beef scrap plate everything was very well seasoned, they do not skimp on portions. Try it you will not be disappointed read more

Ok so we were just passing through and staying at a nearby hotel. Been in the road since 5am so just wanted to eat and go to bed so it was early and we were the only customer. Drew greeted us and let us have the table of our choice. She was really fun. We ordered drinks, and a steak dinner. The steaks were really good and cooked perfectly to our likings. We were glad we went there and would def do it again. Thanks Drew for a memorable experience. read more

Truly amazing meal! There steaks are worth every penny! Wish we drove through here more often. Bar area is cozy and the service great! We hope to return soon. We ate our leftovers the next day and the meat was melt in your mouth delicious. read more

We were staying at a local hotel for the night and didn't want to go out. I was told this was a great place to eat and we were satisfied with our meal. We ordered over the phone and they delivered it to our hotel. I was able to use cash to pay!!! The food was a good portion for the price. and was well packaged. Next time maybe we will visit this location in person. read more

Food was good and reasonably priced. We had a cheeseburger, fries and jalapeño poppers. Everything was good, although not exceptional. Fries and ranch were the best. Service was very friendly and responsive. We called in and did take out- the restaurant seemed old and pretty minimal. We would return if in Shamrock again. read more

Excellent. Sat in the bar, great waitress. Genuinely interested. Got the Beef Scraps w/mashed potatoes. Tender, great flavor, and priced well. When in Shamrock, will go again read more

We didn't see the name of the restaurant outside. The sign simply said "Steakhouse." It is definitely a hole in the wall establishment. Our waitress was Kellie and she greeted us as soon as we entered, as we were the only ones there. I chose a 10oz ribeye and my wife ordered a 10 or 12 oz fillet. Mine was 70% inedible fat and gristle. I mentioned it to the waitress and they offered to replace it. They brought out a smaller steak that was absolutely perfect. I am completely fine with the arrangement. The sweet iced tea was sweet enough. The fries were crisp. My wife's green beans were skillet cooked with butter and garlic. The service was great but I'm not sure if we'll ever return, just due to the distance between our house and them. read more

Garrett was an excellent server and dinner was delicious. There is a bar, but we totally missed that. Excellent ice tea was a great substitute. Beef scraps was an odd name but my husband loved it. Chicken coop salad was perfection! read more

Faded sign still says Big Vern's, which closed, but a new business is serving steak here again. Decor is simple, with some old Texas history murals. Service is young and inexperienced. But my ribeye was cooked perfectly, extremely tender and seasoned exquisitely. Across street from Tesla superchargers. read more

The chicken fried steak my husband had was wonderful and huge. Home made mashed potatoes and roll. Worth the stop in Shamrock every day. The 10 oz steaks I saw at the tables looked perfect read more

This place has the best food ever along with fantastic service. Go there! It has a rustic vibe with a main dining room and dining in the bar area. The steak was grilled to perfection and the grilled vegetables were perfect! read more

I just have to give a shout out to Grifs Steakhouse in Shamrock, Texas. We had around 20 people show up there a little after 4pm Monday. We had a very young looking server. Several of us went to the bar and ordered drinks. When she went and got her phone to see how to make my margaritas I was a little worried, but it was actually one of the best ones I have ever had. Then back at the table we had the same server, I think she was the only one there at the time. She literally was great. She got all of our orders correct and the food was delicious. The fried onions and pickles were super good. If you are ever in that area stop by Grifs and have a great meal. read more

The food is amazing! I highly recommend the ribeye. The service was excellent! They are all willing to work with you and help you with any request. The ambiance of the entire restaurant is extremely welcoming and warm. If you ever catch yourself in Shamrock I highly recommend this little steakhouse. Hat's off!! read more

We (couple) ordered 2 steaks. It took 45 minutes before we got it. Explanation: "an urgent order came through". Strange to learn that we are apparently not a "important" customer. When the steaks finally arrived they were both way overcooked. Both the medium and rare were (very) well done. Half of the steak not eaten because it was dry (logical when not rare). As compensation we received a $3 (!) discount.... Advice: choose a restaurant where you are taken seriously. read more

Today is day 3 of a long roadtrip. I didn't intend to stop in Shamrock but a blowout trailer tire had other plans. My children and I stumbled upon Grif's. I had low expections for a small town but I couldn't stomach another fast food meal. Our food was incredible. The steak was phenomenal and made to order. Customer service was amazing. The two ladies working were very kind, prompt and took great care of us. read more

Food was great. Service was better. Nice old place right off Route 66. Stop in and ask for Alesiha.

We didn't think Grif's was open when we got there because there were no cars in sight. It was in the middle of lunch and dinner so we didn't know for sure, but we saw the open sign and walked in and was greeted by a sweet guy named Joel. Ordered some beers and fried pickles for appetizers. These were hand breaded and fried in house and served with ranch dressing. They were so good and the perfect amount to share with the table. I ordered a side salad and loaded baked potato and they were just that. Nothing spectacular but didn't disappoint. Someone in our group ordered the Steak Melt and another ordered the Mango Habanero Chicken Sandwich. The star of the show was the chicken sandwich! It was amazing!!! Had the perfect amount of heat with a delicious glaze and topped with fried onion straws. The hand cut French fries with each meal were an excellent addition and very tasty. This place is definitely a four leaf clover in a field of weeds in Shamrock, Texas! Hopefully they will stay in business long enough for us to come back again and try out their dinner. read more

See all

Food was great and service was superb. Sam was so nice and friendly. Amazing little spot!!! read more

See all

Just finished up a excellent meal, I had the Salmon it was delicious. My coworker had the 14 oz T-bone it looked good said that it tasted just as good. Not anybody else here right now. I travel through town often and have ate at the other steakhouse multiple times. My personal opinion is this place is superior. The service was good but once again we were the only patrons. read more

Our steaks were good, the French fries were awesome! The place was pretty slow and our food took a while but everyone was nice and attentive. Would go back again if in the area. read more

Awesome all around.Head chef and owner had a great personality and work ethic.Don't know which waitress I had but she had a great work ethic too.Very polite and helpful .The greeters were full of insight and had great recommendations as well I had the honor of trying out the cheeseburger which was perfectly cooked through and through. their fries cooked perfectly as well and had a great color on them also . The amount of seasoning was right on the money not too much not too little the greeters were full of energy and ready and waiting for you before you could open the door ready to seat you .10 stars out 10 stars if not more .The ambiance was welcoming and lively as well too. read more

Food not fancy but above average, especially after a long day of driving. It's new, just opened this month, and awaiting its liquor license. Still worth it. And very close to the sweet, no frills motel we stayed at, Shamrock country inn. Altogether food and lodging cost us less than $100. On old Route 66. Perfect combo for budget travelers read more

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise, I would like to give it a 4.5 but app doesn't allow. It was welcome for the four of us after a long car day on Route 66. It's a big open room with a separate bar so not huge on ambiance but great food and service. Our server, Ella, was a delight, charming and efficient. The food was really good-we started with fried onion strings (which will be upping my Thanksgiving green bean casserole game), a nice size simple salad with good dressings, 3 10 ounce ribeyes (I would have loved the 14 ounce bone-in but too big for me with no leftover options) and a 10 ounce top sirloin-all cooked just as ordered. There was a nice selection of sides-the 3 ribeyes all choose the loaded baked potato which would have been stellar but a bit under so on the hard side. The sirloin guy had the housemade mac and cheese which was outstanding...I know it's panhandle TX but we're all wine drinkers, one white which our white drinker didn't want to risk, and 2 reds, a merlot and a cab (only info given by bar person, lol). We chose the merlot and actually it was very enjoyable. Too full to try desserts! read more

We both had a steak. They were wonderful. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. I had fries that were hand cut and my husband had onion rings that were made in house. The service was great. We will stop here again. read more

I wish I could review the food, but we were never served. After arriving with only a few tables occupied, we place our order. One hour and 15 minutes later we left hungry. Other customers came in after we ordered our food and 12 were served before us. The waitress blatantly lied about the kitchen plating our food and continued serving other patrons until we left. read more

Really good food in a pleasant atmosphere. We came through town for the night and had a real nice time.

Great food ... good service. Be sure to visit the "Cars" movie gas station across the street. Nice people!

This place is set up very nicely, the staff were friendly and very helpful!! We had appetizers all the way to dessert! The beef scraps over rice was delicious!! The atmosphere has the perfect Texas vibe! read more
