Second time eating here over the years, was kinda hoping they'd have the tortilla encrusted chicken on this trip but I tried the pistachio encrusted chicken fried steak. Totally interesting and good. Way more food than a person could eat though-and wished I'd known so I could've shared it. read more

Terrible service. We were staying at the Paisano and decided to grab a margarita one night, as they had come highly recommended. Took forever to get a menu, and then a waiter, and when our drinks finally arrived they were mediocre. Beautiful setting though, and we loved the hotel! read more

Sat outside next to the fountain on their beautiful patio- a relaxing atmosphere with plenty of shade. We stopped by for a late, light lunch and ordered the strawberry spinach salad and hummus. Both were delicious and their happy hour prices were very reasonable ($3 bottles). read more

We went there to get a margarita and the bartendress was absolutely rude and said she would not serve us because i had a milkshake from somewhere else. She told us to sit outside if we wanted to get served. Once we sat outside, the waitress asked us to leave because i had a milkshake that wasnt from Jetts. I mean, were they going to explode if i just sat there with a milkshake while my wife had a margarita??? Ugly place, RUDE "service". read more

Located in the historic Paisano Hotel. We were there for dinner. Comfortable, gracious with a menu focused on beef and variations of Mexican food plus a pasta or two. The penne was mediocre -- bland tomato sauce -- nothing special. But the pistachio covered chicken fried steak was excellent -- flavorful crust, tender beef. Service was good-- attentive without being hovering. read more

Great food! Decent price. Dined outside in courtyard. Great atmosphere. The menu was limited but the potato soup was delicious and so was the crab cakes and pear salad. read more

This was probably our favorite restaurant on our trip to Marfa. The seating was outdoor and casual, and the food was impressive although a tad expensive. We both ordered chicken, my dish was breaded with tortillas and tasted fantastic. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and the whole dish went together perfectly with our beers. read more

Intended to just stop in for a drink not knowing this was the only place open on Sunday night. It was 8:57 when we realized this and the kitchen closes at 9:00 so we sheepishly asked if the kitchen would be pissed to get an order this late. They didn't even have to go ask, just said to order whatever we wanted! We sat at the bar and the bartender was great. Very personable and poured strong drinks. Ordered the hamburger and pistachio fried steak. Stayed around until about 10:00 visiting with the staff (no one else was there) and just had a great experience. Only suggestion I could make would be to reconsider portion size. Even though us two guys love to eat, we simply could not finish our food. read more

All we had were the breakfast burritos which were mediocre. The eggs and chiles mix was better than the bacon and beans. Green sauce better than the red chile sauce. Fun patio making a unique atmosphere. read more

What a cute restaurant and outside area in the hotel! We went in for dinner around 8:30pm on a Sunday night, and they were pretty busy. It took a while for a hostess to come up to the stand to seat us. We were instructed to get a drink at the bar while we waited for our table to be ready. The bartenders ignored us. Our waitress was super sweet. The food was ok for the price. read more

Great for a margarita on the patio. Get a prickly pear margarita and the chicken caesar salad and you'll be happy. THE FRIES ARE TERRIBLE. Eaten here 15 times and every time fries are very dark and great. Limp. I'm a chef so I know that to make fries crispy, you must have hot enough oil or else the oil will soak into the fries. I told the chef that and she tried again, still, limp and almost black. Can't believe they serve these to customers! Other menu items like the spinach dip, chile relleno, wedge salad, and fries aren't very good. Burger is decent. People like the pistachio chicken-fried steak and mashed potatoes. read more

Those margaritas are amazing!!!! Literally, they have the best margaritas in the entire state of Texas and we've lived in Texas for 9 years.

Meh... come MAINLY because you want to enjoy the environment. But if that's your objective, my tip is to grab a cocktail, glass of wine, or beer and hangout in the room outside the restaurant, the lobby, or the courtyard. The food is old-fashioned, plain, and skews toward fried. It was fine, but I would never eat there again. read more

We enjoyed our early dinner at the bar. The wedge salad and shrimp nachos were delicious but the best part was the excellent cocktails made by Raul. See you next year! read more

Great little oasis in a historic hotel in the middle of Marfa in the middle of nowhere. Great service all around and fairly quick. Salad was a bit drenched in balsamic but still good. Bread and butter were amazing. Good relaxed atmosphere. Fried portabella burger was above average. Prices are pretty reasonable for the location and ambiance. read more

I am sitting at the bar a jett's grill watching Lissa handle a crowd of over 20 with grace and aplomb and also make drinks for the entire restaurant inside and out on the patio. It is Sunday night in Marfa, not much is open, sit down and enjoy the fact you are here. read more

Lissa here at the bar is a champ!! Handling her customers and staff in an overwhelming situation. She and Leslie make Jetts one of the only reliable restaurants in Marfa. Bravo read more

Went here on Friday evening around 6. The pistachio chicken fried steak is delicious! Amazing amount of food for the price Service was a little too slow for how empty it was. Took way too long for someone to greet the table considering how empty the restaurant was. Overall, it was a good experience. read more

The fried artichoke hearts were absolutely fabulous!! The tortilla crusted chicken was yummy and hubby's burger tasted great and was enormous. Will definitely come back again next time we're in Marfa! read more

Jett's Grill - Beautiful, historic hotel and fabulous restaurant. - American Near Me - Marfa, Texas

My husband and I had appetizers and drinks while in marfa. The fish taco appetizers were more like a meal, and the bacon wrapped shrimp were pretty hefty too. Since we weren't too hungry it was great for us, but cost as much as a dinner. We didn't mind the cost, but some people may. I'd definitely go back again; we loved the atmosphere and had a nice waitress too. read more

Great food. We sat at the bar and got TERRIBLE service! Like no eye contact and rude, literally first person in Marfa to not be amazing ... Also they were out if chicken fried steak :( read more

We ate there because we couldn't stay at the hotel and wanted to check it out. Our waitress was nice and quick with the bar beverages. My husband and I shared an artichoke and spinach dip that my husband thought was "an abomination." It was just chopped up artichokes and spinach topped with Parmesan cheese that burned in the oven when being heated. The waitress took it off our bill. We also shared "the Giant" burger topped with avocado, bacon and cheddar that was mouth watering!!! The fries were good but a little over cooked. I might go back for drinks because the courtyard is very nice and so was the ambiance in the restaurant but were told some of the other places we considered were a lot better. read more

This place would be amazing if they could just get the overhead lighting right. It is too bright and way too fluorescent.

Overpriced with average to below average service. We felt rushed - the servers hurried to collect our plates (before all of us were finished) and rushed the bill (which had a mistake) on us. read more

Quite possibly the best meal I have had in Texas in years. The red grape chicken was amazing and the mashed potatoes were creamy. Elegant ambience ... West Texas style. Tres leaches cake toooooooo. I am in love. read more

Great food, solid service, good change of pace from the rest of Marfa

Great dining experience! My fiance and I went full fat kid and ordered the chicken fried steak, which is FANTASTIC. We also split the ahi tuna which was very good as well. We ordered drinks one classic margarita and one spicy cowboy drink. Only 4 stars becuase the service was a bit slow. read more

When we arrived, no one greeted us for the longest time. It wasn't even busy except for the bar area. We just stood there waiting for service. Then when we did get seated, the waiter arrived without saying a word and handed us menus. We ordered Texas-style poutine, sweet potato fries, and chicken fried steak. The fries were good, but the steak tasted so bland and off--like watery chewy hamburger meat. No flavor. The mashed potatoes were also bland. Only good thing on the entree were the brussell sprouts. It's a neat place with history (RIP James Dean), but falls short with the lack of service and unappetizing food. read more

At the beautiful Hotel Paisano, very nice atmosphere to sit outside in the evening to have diner AND they have great cocktails !

For the part of the world Jett's is in food is phenomenal. Highly recommend the pecan crusted chicken fried steak. In my top 3. Only thing better would of been a baked potato instead of mashed. Highly recommend. Wife had the portabello burger although not my choice but Susan felt the same way I did about the CFS. Will be back again on our next Big Bend Hiking trip. We didn't stay at the hotel but we will next trip. read more

We were in town visiting from Austin and came here for dinner. Service was great but the food was terrible. Two of us ordered the salmon and both dishes were bitter with a horrible concoction of spices that we couldn't even force ourselves to eat. I am not sure if the cook made a mistake with the batch or not but I can't imagine how anyone would eat that. Someone in our group also got the chicken with the veggies and the chicken was super bland and without any flavor. For the price we were expecting better food, coming from Austin this was a very disappointing meal. read more

Great atmosphere, food, and service. This restaurant is connect to the famous Hotel Paisano. You can dress it up or wear casual attire. The courtyard has plenty of seating as well as inside. Rene, our waiter, was very kind, welcoming, and is local to Marfa. My husband had a burger while I had the pistachio crusted steak, both were superb! I would highly recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere and food. read more

Good food and great service. At there two nights and both meals were good. Server Rene' was a treat. Ask for him if you can.

One of the qualities I love about Marfa is that folks don't seem to be in a hurry. It is a great reminder to those of us from the city who are accustomed to having all of ours wants/needs met instantly. Eating at Jett's may require you to get out of the mindset of "me, me, me, now, now now!" It is a wonderful place to relax and engage in conversation and admire the amazing ability of the locals to mingle despite their drastic differences (hard-working cowboy rancher, tattooed heavy metal man, and groovin' hippster all shooting the breeze). My husband & I enjoyed the tortilla chicken the 1st night and pistachio crusted chicken fried steak the next night. Both come with wonderfully fresh veggies. Their margarita's are also very good. For those commenting on slow service, I would hate to see you at Mando's down the road (service is ridiculously slow, but the food is amazing!) read more

Basically, the date night hotel for locals and like most places in Marfa, succeeds because of the extremely limited choice. The setting is on the ground floor of the Paisano Hotel, which on a lovely evening is simply lovely. However get the most basic things on the menu--chips, salsa, burger--and you should be okay. If you're visiting Marfa to see Judd and Chinati, go elsewhere. If you want local color, it's just right. We spent most of our dinner marveling at the outfits. The knee length satin skirt cut up the middle and hung with a fringe in contrasting color was worthy of a museum. read more

The patio is lovely to sit at when its nice outside and have drinks with friends. However, this place is overpriced for the food they serve. It's hit or miss sometimes. I ordered one of the most expensive items on the menu-a ribeye steak for $36. I hadn't eaten all day, so was excited to try it out. I asked for it to be cooked to medium but they overcooked it to over well done, so it had the texture of leather. I think I could have made a better steak at home (which was my original idea for dinner that night). The waitress who served me was a bit rude and dismissive. When I asked for change after paying cash my tab she retorted, "yeah, I'm going". It felt as if she was annoyed I had requested change. read more

enjoyed our service & food! absolutely loved the prickly pear margaritas they had! will definitely be back!

This place hasn't been updated since James Dean was here for the filing of Giant in the 50's, and the menu is just as tired. The chile relleno looked like KFC fried chicken and was bland as could be. Their beers on tap oddly consisted of 2 porters, a stout and a dark beer. No concept at all of providing some variety The custard in the creme brûlée was almost as thin as the hardened crispy top. The brownie dessert was gigantic but ordinary. The service was nice and efficient. read more

The service was pretty bad. Dinner took just over 2 hours. One night they ran out of lettuce and the next night they ran out if ice cream and substituted the ice cream with whipped cream and thought we would not notice the difference. They are lucky to be the only restaurant open. read more

Arrived here around 330 and noticed the bar had about 6 or 7 people but no one at a table. We wandered around for about 5 minutes as the bartender kept eying us. We finally decided on a table and were about to sit down and a wandering waitress told us they had bar service only. I guess the bartender was too busy was reveal to us this little fact when she first noticed us wandering around like lost tourists. We headed to the bar and since the only places to sit were occupied by used plates and glasses, we decided to make life easy on the bartender and not force her to clean her area for paying customers. We left and headed back to Alpine to spend our hard earned money with an appreciative restaurant owner. read more
