Service was great. George took good care of us. Had the bacon wrapped quail starter - excellent. Prime rib was cooked to perfect medium rare, mashed potatoes were great, each bite was sublime. We didn't try dessert or any cocktails. We were happily stuffed. Highly recommend. read more

The staff is absolutely terrible. I would give it zero stars if I could. Marfa as a whole is hot garbage.

Chicken fried steak, just do it. Never thought to make this a spicy option, but that was pretty fantastic. Come for the drinks, stay for the CFS, thank me later. read more

Jett's Grill - Chicken Fried Steak - American Near Me - Marfa, Texas

My husband and I each got a cup of French Onion Soup (the soup of the day) to start and then asked to split the Chicken Fried Steak (CFS). The chef and waitress were awesome and brought us two made up plates (half the sides and half the CFS), very nice touch to not have to split ourselves. The chicken fried steak is out of this world! Gotta be one of my top three favorite chicken fried steaks. We both were sooo stuffed even though we split. Their cocktails are crafty and delicious and taste like they are made with quality/fresh ingredients (I got the Tequila Cowboy and thought I would get wine during my CFS, but loved the cocktail too much.. so I got another instead of wine). This is a MUST visit, if you're in town for dinner. Call ahead and grab a reservation, you'll want to go here. read more

Waited 1.5 hours for food to arrive. It arrived cold and sorta crusted over. Gross. Something was very wrong in that kitchen tonight. Ambiance is ok. Nice courtyard, good bartender. Believe the bad reviews about this place. We ended up going to Dairy Queen. I'm not usually fussy about food. read more

Had a Friday reservation, seated at such a noisy table by the door we asked to be moved. Cocktails took 30" ("only 1 bartender"). Table incomplete set had to call server back after she dropped off the bread basket and request bread plates. Ordered a bottle of red wine, she brought us 2 glasses of red wine. When we corrected her she went back to the bar and brought us a part bottle of the wine and said she'd opened it in the bar-didn't show us the label, open it in front of us, or offer a taste. Several menu misspellings. Ordered the Valentine's market price special steak Oscar to share. It arrived lukewarm overcooked with a small amount of tasteless crab and NO Bernaise sauce! By then we were so tired of complaining we just paid and left-we were charged $55 for the steak. We were staying at the Hotel Paisano where the restaurant is located. I went to the front desk the next morning and asked to speak to the hotel manager-"out until Monday". Asked to speak to the restaurant manager- "out until later". I explained that I requested a credit for the steak and the clerk agreed to give the restaurant manager a message. He said he'd had a other complaint that AM. Such a lack of training and quality control. A bad experience. read more

This was amazing compliments to chef Margaret she made these perfect good amount of meat and cheese and etc can feed a family or friends of four and everything tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned will definitely eat this and other things here again and it was happy hour so amazing price read more

The service at Jett's was atrocious. Waitress took forever to even meet us meanwhile the entire interior was completely empty. Didn't even ask us if we wanted drinks and refilled our water one time when all of our glasses were empty for almost the entire meal. It took forever for our food to come out. I will say my burger was pretty good until my friend found a fly in his food and I lost my appetite. After complaining about the bug the manager didn't apologize or offer to replace the food. At least he took my friends meal off the tab. read more

My partner and I decided to give this a go although some of the reviews we read ahead of time about this place were not that great and let me tell ya......there were all true. Before i start this review, I would like to let the reader know the only reason why we are giving this a one star was because our server was very nice to us. The staff was very inattentive and not friendly and were clearly ready to leave for the night (and we didn't even come in at the last minute before they were closing!.). Bartender was on his phone most of the night which was why our drinks took a little longer to get to our table (yes we could see the bartender the whole time from our table). Furthermore, most of the drinks I wanted from the menu the bartender was not able to make..... (no clue why). The cooks and the other servers seemed disgruntled or not in a good mood as they came out into the dining room every now and then to converse with the bartender and manager; didn't bring good ambiance to our dining experience. Let's talk about the food: The chicken salad contained chicken that tasted like it had been microwaved multiple times after it had been in the fridge for days (it was hard as a rock)! The chicken tortilla soup was a minestrone soup disguised and tasted horrible. The rest of what we had ordered was not very good also. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone that is passing through or even living in Marfa. read more

We had an amazing experience while dining at Jett's Grill and staying at the hotel, this thanksgiving and weekend. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Pistachio fried steak and the service was top-notch. We dinned at the bar, both times, while eating at the hotel. The two lady bartenders were very attentive and made excellent recommendations, on both nights. The ambiance was perfect for Thanksgiving and the weekend. We can't wait to come back again soon!". read more

The food was so great!!! We were so pleasantly surprised. The pistachio crusted redfish was out of this world. Fun town! Loved the hotel

Can you leave less than one star? Sign at the host station says wait to be seated. It should say we won't talk to you and you must have a reservation. We waited for 10 to 15 minutes the person before us said he had been there for a while and no one addressed him. Glad we did not wait as long but it would have been nice if someone would have said something earlier. I think there is one waiter for the whole restaurant and a bar tender. . read more

Most disappointing spot I was in Marfa. There are very serious customer service and kitchen issues that must start at the leadership level. Been a few years since any one at our table had been treated worse. Our appetizer never came. Food was disappointing in nearly every regard. Asked for salt and pepper to be put in our table and was laughed at.. told the soup course we were on didn't need anything else.. I insisted... I still am requesting pepper... The server rolled his eyes and returned to slam it on the table and say "there's your pepper, bro... Nobody's EVER needed to add salt or pepper to the soup" It was absolutely confusing for such a simple request. The rudeness is hard to state on this app... We all started going to the bar to get drinks, since the service at the table was so slow. The bartender went ahead and closed out my tab and put gratuity on it at shift change. Then wouldn't let me see the bill after looking for my credit card for 10 minutes..Utterly confusing. The entire place needs some serious management help. read more

The atmosphere was fantastic, but the food was horrible. The ribeye steak was overcooked, the porterhouse pork chop was dry, and the carrots were soggy. The service was not up to par, even had horribly wrinkled tablecloths. I am hoping they improve; however, I will not return. read more

The food was exceptional. Ambiance -in a great old restored Hotel El Paisano. The waitress(Chrissie)was very accommodating for our party of 5. We were there for drinks at the bar before the opening of Jett's Grill at 5 p.m. There were a lot of people enjoying the majesty of this historic old building, so we were forced to sit in an ante-room with a wonderful old fireplace. Come 5 p.m. , Christie ushered us into a nice big table close to the bar and kitchen(no reservations though , I highly recommend them). Drinks were superb . Everything from Old Fashions, martinis, and margaritas,plus ! We had a delightful appetizer of fried artichoke hearts and fig jalapeño poppers(could've used a bit more fig , coming from a fig lover ). Entrées included a pistachio crusted chicken fried steak - freaking delicious, crab cakes- bejum , and a BBQ'd pork chop that I watched my friend salivate over and had to stop him from picking up the bone and gnawing on it . Thank you, Chrissie, for your recommendations and for getting us that table with food and drinks, Pronto! Will go back . read more

Was hoping for a great dinner in this beautiful, historic hotel but was disappointed. We did make a reservation, arrived about 5 minutes ahead of time and still stood around unacknowledged for a good 10 minutes. Finally seated, drink order placed, we waited a long time for drinks to arrive. Our very pleasant server was busy, but the bartender, who was within a few steps of our table and with only two locals at the bar, made the one drink (other was club soda) and then let them sit for about 10 minutes rather than delivering them herself. We shared the poblano salad, which was greens and corn dressed with a spicy poblano vinaigrette. It was ok, but could have used a few more ingredients on the salad; maybe some cheese, some pepitas for crunch...something to jazz it up and offset some of the spicy vinaigrette. Hubs ordered the chicken fried steak. It was a large serving and had a nice crisp pistachio crust but the breading lacked any seasoning. The gravy on the steak was very good and the asparagus side was nicely roasted. I had the crab cakes...the menu said they were served with rice but instead came with mashed potatoes. Rustic, skin on, mashed without a lick of salt. Potatoes need salt, if nothing else. There were two thin crab cakes on the plate but only one had the caper sauce on it that the menu said it was served with. Not one caper to be seen, but a nice lemony sauce anyway and the best tasting thing on the plate. I asked for additional so the other cake could get dressed up. They were just ok. Plenty of filler and no jumbo lump meat to be found. We skipped dessert. In a nutshell, the bartender never made eye contact and spent more time visiting with the two seated at the bar, than helping out the server who was very nice and obviously busy, resulting in slow service, and the food was under seasoned. Prices were what you'd expect for a hotel restaurant, but didn't live up the quality. One salad, two entre read more

I do not recommend this restaurant and I'm saying this is because the restaurant's menu is very limited..in other words, there's not a hell of a lot of food choices which is the pits! Not only that, but it's overpriced; especially, for the quantity of food they serve you! You're way better off visiting a buffet that serves you a lot more for under what Jett's Grill serves! I will never dine at that restaurant again! read more

The food was good. Instead of hip hop in the restaurant where there are guests you might want to try a different type of music for the ambiance of the restaurant. It doesn't go with the historical theme. The service was okay. read more

This place was recommend to us by a few friends. I'm not sure if it was because we had low expectations, but the food was absolutely delicious! I'm talking about wow! And the best part... Portions were huge! We were ravenous when we arrived, but still couldn't finish half of our dishes. Texas size portions, I tell ya. We got the pistachio crusted steak, chicken Alfredo, and their infamous margarita. All very delicious and definitely leave you wanting more. All in all, we paid $60 for our meal. Hands down worth every single penny! We also came back the next day during our bike ride to get another margarita (yes, it's that good!) and tried a new prickly pear margarita? Not sure if that's what it was called. But if you're a photo fanatic, this drink is it! It's a deep pinkish purple and very unique. Get it, you won't regret it :) read more

We enjoyed a pleasant evening by the fountain in the courtyard. Good food, nice service. All fine until we noticed the Confederate flag (among six) hanging over the entrance of the hotel. Really? Please take it down. It may be part of the history of Texas but at this point in time, it's just really offensive. read more

It's posted everywhere they do take out. I call tonight to place an order for 4 people take out and they refused the order. Said they don't do take out. Might want to update all your ads Jett's. I'm finding Marfa to be rather disappointing in general. Seems the soul has left the town. Sad. read more

We went the other night and I have to say that the burger is the best that I've had in a long time, I would highly suggest getting it

Expensive and bad, really bad. Only one of four could even eat the food. It ranged from unflavorful to undercooked chicken, to burnt. Wait staff was clueless, either on drugs, dim or didn't want to be there. Avoid! read more

Very good. Enjoyed dinner there. Good drinks. Good service. Not overly casual. A nice place to try when in Marfa.

Great food and service. Reasonable prices. The 12 oz burger with fries was awesome. Good service and great food is hard to beat. Reasonable prices too. Don't miss out on a great meal and experience read more

We made advance RSVP as hotel guests for dinner on Friday and Saturday evening during our stay. The Meomi Chardonnay is available by the glass. The artichoke appetizer is delicious. We split the jalapeño CFS and couldn't finish our halves the portions are huge. The next night we split the giant cheeseburger with Parmesan fries which my husband thoroughly enjoyed and on which I splurged. We also loved the Caesar salad. My husband ordered a second Cadillac margarita - a rare event for him. However the margarita was perfectly prepared.This is a must see and enjoy outdoor dining area in pleasant weather. read more

Ranch water, did not have dinner, just cocktails. Nit much going on in marfa. Herts is in a lovely old historic hotel.

We visited Jett's Grill during Covid times. In some ways you would expect any restaurant to be trying as hard as they can given the limited number of customers. Jett's Grill didn't really meet the bill. The service was nice, friendly, and perfectly fine. However, they had no clue as to where their food comes from. When you are selling a $42 ribeye, it might be good to know from where it comes. The waitress went to ask the cook, and no one knew. All I wanted to know is whether it was from a Texas ranch or not. I don't fault the waitress - I fault management. I didn't order it simply because I had no interest in having a ribeye that I could get anywhere. The rest of the food was little better than a mediocre local diner. The menu was very limited, but that's fine if what they are offering is really good. We had the fried artichokes, which were plentiful, but not very seasoned. The dip was necessary to give it some taste. The greek salad was okay, but the dressing was too acidic - likely just from a large container. We had high hopes for the chicken stuffed portabello sandwich/burger, but it was really somewhat bland. They did serve a full half avocado with it, though. The cocktails were adequate, but small. The wine was limited by the glass but reasonably priced. As Marfa likes to be a foodie/artsy type of locale, this place doesn't fit the bill. I'd spend my money elsewhere. read more

There were so many negative issues when we went a few weeks ago. Just a miserable experience. The host treated us like we had the plague. There were 3 of us and we were seated at a 2-top when the place was barely half full. We had to find a third chair, flatware and a napkin on our own. I ordered the burger medium rare. It came out so well done that if the meat had been cooked a second longer, you could've carved marble with it. Also the fries had clearly been left under a heat lamp for a very long time. Our waitress was sweet but took 25 minutes to get our drinks and our food was served nearly an hour after we sat down - again it wasn't that busy and they had plenty of staff. We don't make it to Marfa too often but we'll never go to this place again. read more

This place was awesome! We came around 6pm and they were already booked until 8:30pm. We hung around the bar and got a seat within 30 minutes and so glad we did! The service was phenomenal! They're following all the COVID precautions. Even have clear dividers at the bar! We ordered the jalapeño margarita and Moscow mike, they were both delicious. For apps we got the bacon wrapped shrimp and fried artichoke hearts! But along with their accompanying sauces were out of this world delicious! The jalapeño orange marmalade that comes with the shrimp still has me searching the internet for a replica! We got the pistachio fried steak for our entrees and it missed the mark on flavor following the two amazing apps. The jalapeño gravy just tasted like regular white gravy and the steak could've used more seasoning. The mashed potatoes that came with it were creamy and delicious though! All in all, amazing time and would definitely recommend if you're in Marfa! read more

Pistachio crusted chicken fried steak! Very good! Didn't love the Brussels sprouts because I like them crispy. Good mixed drinks. Loved the cream brûlée! Pork chop was done well and tasty.

Food was wonderful. Came and ate a Pistachio steak, and a burger. Both were not only presented beautifully on the plate, but also had amazing flavor! Will definitely come back. I should have given my compliments to the chef personally, the food was that amazing. The waitress we had could have been more attentive, but the food alone will bring us back, hopefully they'll get better help up front. read more

Food was okay - not anything to ride home about. However, the margarita was great! I also loved the ambiance of the restaurant being part of an old restored hotel. Also, the courtyard is gorgeous to have a drink at and hang out if you are looking for a good cocktail hour spot! read more

We came here hearing Hotel Paisano had the best margarita. It was pretty good but the experience at Jett's Grill was like none other. We realized after waiting for anyone to show up for 15+ minutes at the table that everyone around us was receiving apologies, comped items on bills and also delayed in various stages of their dining. We chose Jett's after not able to find any to go orders in town. (Spring break). The waitress was called over by us and upon first introduction asked us if we were interested in any entrees?! Forget the drinks and apps. Then we proceeded to order apps and drinks and had to remind her at least 2x for the drinks, 3x for the apps (received only one) and never received the last app. The unsweet iced tea took about 4 kind reminders and then were delivered sweet tea. The adult entrees were eventually delivered with dried gravy tops (bc they sat waiting for the whole table's food to be cooked) while the 4 starving kiddos waited. Their burgers and fries eventually came out and when ketchup was requested the last straw was ramikens of tomato paste delivered to them all instead of ketchup. At this point we were honestly dying laughing. What else can you do?! It was one persons birthdays and 2.5 hours later it was the biggest S%*t show all we could do was laugh. The food was honestly just very blah. Tasteless. The mashed potatoes were good....thats all I got. We know it's hard Marfa...rolling influxes of crowds, spring break and potentially college student staff gone....but you really needed to step it up to a decent level at the least. This was an epic fail I'm so sad to say from flavor to function. read more

This was a very disappointing experience. The Asadero Chili Rellenos was very cold, greasy and taste was bad, the rice was cold too. The silverware had food stuck on it. It was disgusting. The french fries were greasy and bland. The drinks came when we were finished, well stopped eating... due to bad food and feeling nauseous. I asked for a lemon wedge and she never brought it. I asked for a to go cup for the over priced beverage and after waiting a long time I went to check on it so we could leave. Our server, Sueji, was waiting was talking to two other servers. The food was over priced and very disappointing. I have been here several times and the last two times were very bad. I'll never come back to Jett's Grill. We never saw a manager walking around and checking on customers. read more

Jett's Grill: Nothing beside remains It's said you die twice in life. The first time when your heart stops beating, and the second when someone thinks of you for the last time. I can say with complete certainty that the Jett's I remember is dead, kept alive only by my inability to forget the worst dining experience of my life. Throughout my life, I've visited Marfa a handful of times. Jett's Grill was always a highlight of the trip. Though relatively expensive, it was an incredible dining experience. Service by the wait staff was top notch, and the rotating seasonal menu was constantly great. Unfortunately, none of these attributes were present at my most recent visit to Jett's. Upon arriving with a party of six, it was clear that something was off. The inside seating area was empty, and the guests were few and far between in the outside seating. The confusion would continue after we were not served the complimentary bread that was formerly a standard. Though, we were willing to write these off as the menu looked fantastic, composed of many of the classic Jett's dishes. (Note: The menu was different than the one provided online on the official Jett's Grill website). Our poor service would begin after our waitress told my friend with Celiac she was not familiar with the "Gluten-Free Lifestyle", making it difficult for him to find options on the menu. Additionally, we were not offered more water after several minutes of our pitcher being empty, and never being asked what we would like to drink. This was especially upsetting considering the wait staff's utter lack of preoccupation. Several of the waiters clearly had nothing to do, looking at their phones or just hanging out at the back of the dining area. After 30 minutes, our appetizers arrived. They were fine, a step down from what I'd had previously, but nothing too out of the ordinary. 30 minutes later, our food would arrive. Though the last member of my party wouldn't get his food for another 15 minutes after the rest of us after being told the "pasta machine" was broken. (He was given a 75% discount on the pasta, but the added shrimp was inexplicably excluded from this discount). This was when Jett's committed an unforgivable sin. About halfway through eating my tortilla crusted chicken, I would notice a strange addition to my vegetables: a large fly. I notified to waitress, who brought out the manager. He quickly took away the plate, a came back a few minutes later to tell me he "took it off". No apology, no more food to replace what I'd been given, and only a single sentence in response to one of the worst things that can happen while eating at a restaurant, especially a high end establishment like Jett's. Additionally, we also found hundreds of dead flies under the windowsill at the opposite side of my table. Safe to say, our appetite was ruined. After this debacle, we were asked if we wanted dessert. "Absolutely not". I responded. Our checks came with gratuity automatically at 20%. If you ask me, they owed us money after eating there. The worst restaurant experience of my life. I'll leave you with a quote from Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley. "My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains.

The food came out quickly and was delicious. I got the crab cakes and the sauce that comes with it is the perfect pairing. If you are visiting Marfa, stopping at Jett's grill is an absolute must! read more
