Stopped at Bent Rim Grill last Friday on our way back from the Nueces River, and it hit the spot…read more We got the hot chicken sandwich topped with bacon, loaded with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions, plus an order of fried pickle spears. The chicken was crispy, the bacon was cooked just right, and everything came out hot and fresh. The fried pickle spears were crispy on the outside and went great with the ranch. We also had a root beer and a whiskey/Diet Coke to go with everything. Really good little stop after a day at the river--casual, filling, and tasty. We'd definitely stop at Bent Rim Grill again next time we're out that way.

When the guy behind the register read back the order to me, just from that, I absolutely knew I created a masterpiece. Luckily, the guy in the kitchen brought it life just as I imagined it! Absolute must: the sourdough jalapeno cheese bun. Really, every bite I thought, oh this really is a tasty bun. Two, count 'em two, patties, American cheese, bacon, and their own sauce. Man, so freaking good. Call this burger The Beast and get it on the board, baby! Had the sweet potato waffle fries, the onion rings, and the tots, and I would rate them just in that order. For a July day in TX we got super lucky and it was 80° so we sat outside (which I normally despise) and it was perfect. Could have spent the whole afternoon there!

Almost nothing in this little town but definitely worth the drive…read more Burger- Definitely more of a "fancy burger" than a greasy spoon diner style burger. The red stag is noticeably leaner than most burger. The assortment of flavors makes for a solid burger. The sweet potato fries were outstanding. The fish was not as crispy as some may like, but the flavor and texture I thought were great. I guess if you like batter to be the star of the show you might not love these but if you want fish to be, you'll love it.

Gorgeous hill country drive to get here. The brisket was moist and tender and flavorful- perfectly smoked in my opinion. I loved the barbecue sauce- very smooth, well balanced flavors and complimented the brisket well. My husband ordered a smash burger and potato salad and also loved both. Next time we will try the beans as the lady at the register told me the bean sauce with the sausage is the way to go. Our kids loved the fries in a bag- also perfectly cooked! Great prices too- $20 a pound for delicious brisket. I'm not sure who would correct this but the business name is Rock n R Chuckwagon...

Coming back from the Frio River over Labor Day weekend, we decided to take a more northern route…read morehome after driving through Uvalde on the way there Friday. We've tried quite a few restaurants in the area over the years, but somehow had never made it to TJ's. My oldest son was in the mood for steak, so this seemed like a good opportunity. We arrived around 5 PM and were seated right away since the restaurant wasn't overly crowded yet. Service throughout the meal was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was well decorated and we found ourselves trying to explain who Elvis was to the kids. My wife was a little disappointed to learn they don't have frozen margaritas, although they do rotate other frozen drinks through their machine. We tried the Key Lime Colada, which was excellent, along with an order of pickle chips while we looked through the menu. I ordered the steak salad, while my wife put together a vegetarian meal from the side dishes. My daughter chose the kids' spaghetti and actually liked it, which is always a win considering how picky she can be. For my boys, we found a pretty good ordering hack. They split the pizza burger that was on special, and we also ordered the steak-bite entrée for them to share. The steak bites were actually less expensive while providing more meat than ordering a regular sirloin, and the steak was excellent. Overall, everyone left happy with both the food and service. The steaks were particularly good, and there were quite a few desserts that looked tempting, but by that point none of us had room left. TJ's turned out to be a great stop on the drive home from the Frio. We'll definitely keep it in mind the next time we're coming through.

They are smash-style burgers with some interesting toppings to make each one truly unique. I found the meat to be seasoned perfectly and cooked just right!

We ordered the capoeira burger as a small combo. Also ordered one each of the following tacos: luchador fish, karate shrimp, and capoeira steak. The burger my friend ordered: she said it was good, but could have used a little more seasoning. (Ordered without the white cheddar). The fries were very good, hit and crispy. Not warm and soggy. The three tacos in order of my personal favorites: karate shrimp, capoeira steak, and luchador fish. The karate shrimp aside from the fact it had wasabi and I don't normally like wasabi, it pairs very well with the shrimp in this case. It was flavorful, the shrimp were a good size, meaty, and delicious. The capoeira steak was good. Flavorful, not chewy, and also paired with the Parmesan-onion crisp, made it. The fish taco was good, but it was a bit fishy for my taste. The service was friendly and nice. The place is very clean. I would like to go back to try the burger myself and some of the other items on the menu.
