Great service. Food excellent, as always! We brought a 'newbie' and he's now a convert to the chicken fried steak . Bravo!

Where do I start. The vibe of the restaurant was definitely a Texas vibe with items on the walls from El Fenix and Canton Trade days. Places you would definitely recognize if you're from TX as we are. The service was fantastic. Server continued to walk by to make sure our drinks were filled and see if we needed anything. The server and the hostess were both from Texas so it was nice to reminisce about Texas with them. The food was delicious! My husband has been wanting a good chicken fried steak since we moved here and sadly doesn't seem like you can get that in the Phoenix and surrounding areas. We don't have to search further. The chicken fried steak was excellent. It was tender unlike some you have to chew on forever. The breading was light so you aren't eating mainly just breading and the gravy was not overly seasoned like a lot of chicken fried steaks that you get at restaurants where there's to much pepper or to much salt in it. I ordered the barbecue brisket sandwich to try. Oh my! It is one of the best I have had. It reminded me of my childhood when we would frequent a shack like place in Texas. I can't say enough about this place. From the food to the service it was just a really good experience. read more

This is indeed a spot to check out. If you're looking for southern, Texas style food this is a place to be in Arizona. This establishment is particularly popular amongst many locals and there's a good reason why. The chicken fried steak here is great. read more

As much as I like the TexAz grill for their chicken fried steak, I got a little perturbed when I learned that they charged me a $3.00 up-charged when I ordered the chicken fried steak from the children's menu. When one is 80, that is all an appetite allows. With that said, the meal was great and Holly was a delightful server. read more

This place is amazing. I was looking up steakhouses near me and found this place on Yelp. The food is really, really good (I got the 'chicken fried goodness' sampler platter, chicken fried steak, chicken, and pork, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn). I got coleslaw and a biscuit on the side. My server, Mary, was very friendly and helpful. The food is served in HUGE portions. This goes for the hot fudge sundae also, which might be the biggest and best value sundae I've ever had. It's the little things here that stand out: not one, not two, but three different servers talking to me and helping me at various points. A table caddy with every kind of hot sauce, honey, and other thing you could want. Them bringing me out a sample of one of the meat dishes I was thinking about so I could try it. Amazing food quality. Great ambience and decor. Wonderful service. LOW prices (I'm not sure how these guys make money, the prices are so low). Mary, Sherry, Cassie!! Thank you all for a great experience! Go here, folks. And then thank me after. read more

Came for a casual Monday night dinner and was immediately sat at the bar. Ashlie was super personable and attentive. Best service I've had in a while. I ordered the hand battered fried pickles with the most juicy and flavorful southern fried chicken. Not only was the batter full of flavor and made from scratch on both but the chicken itself was packed with a well balanced array of flavor and seasonings. The best fried chicken you'll ever find in Phoenix. read more

Holy crap, this food is incredible! The staff and servers were great, the vibe is just what you'd want for "comfort food".

I'm sad to say that with 2 ownership changes the place just isn't the same. I've had 4 straight mediocre at best meals. Chicken Fried Turkey was dry and flavorless. Chicken Fried Steak was over-breaded and tasteless. And the last time in, on my birthday no less, my GF and I both got steak and they were what you might get at a place that doesn't serve steak. To top it all off we were both in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Steve, please come back and rescue the Texaz Grill. Until that happens I won't be going back read more

Saturday was our fourth visit here. The service is great and food has been excellent each time. This time I had the chicken fried chicken, with mashed potatoes. She had the rib-eye with mashed potatoes. Both had a salad. Holly was awesome! The portions are are good size. We have had the desserts on previous visits, this time we were too full. Would recommend giving this a place a try. read more

Waited 55 minutes for our dinner. Manager said sorry I'll take care of it. Then she disappeared... finally we left....

We heard great things about the TexAZ Grill so we thought we would give them a try. On the positive side, the service was exceptional. The hostess greeted us as soon as we walked in the door and we were seated shortly thereafter. Our waitress showed up shortly after being seated and took our drink order while we looked over the menu. We started out with an order of the loaded potatoes as an appetizer. They came with both sour cream and ranch dipping sauces and were very tasty, although they could have used a bit more bacon bits. My partner ordered the prime rib and I ordered the smaller portion of the house specialty - the chicken fried steak. The portion sizes were very generous. However, my partner found the Smokey flavor of the prime the overwhelming. I was disappointed by my entree. The breading on the steak was doughy at best detracting from the steak and gravy. The mashed potato's were good - definitely had that home-cooked taste. The parking lot out front where we parked does not accommodate larger vehicles and was a really tight squeeze in our compact car. Overall, we were delighted by the service but disappointed with the main courses. read more

Tried Texaz Grill again after Covid. I was in the area and thought about those Chicken Fried Steaks. I arrived at about 11:30 and there were three full tables. Texaz Grill sported the full Texas decor and country music I had remembered. I ordered their famous Chicken Fried Steak, which came to $14.95 plus tax and tip. Texaz Grill has been known for their huge CFS and my plate was overflowing with a crispy CFS, corn and mashed potatoes. Sadly, about 1/3 of my CFS was just batter. The gravy was very pedestrian, so, between that and the excessive batter to meat ratio, I couldn't say that it was my 'best in the world' CFS. read more

Boyfriend took me here recently as he was watching a friend's pet in the area and TEXAZ was one of the options he gave me. Good thing as I had just finished a gym challenge and wanted a good meal to celebrate. It wasn't busy when we arrived so we had choice of where to sit. While the menu isn't terribly extensive, it was definitely hard to pick what to order. Their service was quick and she basically picked my meal for me since I was so indecisive. Chicken fried chicken meal it was! And when you order slaw as a side, consider it a massive house side salad when it arrives before your meal- honestly could be a meal in of itself with chicken. I couldn't finish my meal sadly, thank Lord for to go boxes. #FunFact the house gravy comes in a coffee cup when you order it on the side. Like soup. read more

A very surprising hole in the wall. The location is decked out in signs and license plates. We walked in and were seated quickly. The food comes in large portions and is exceptionally good. We loved the biscuits, they tasted like they were made from scratch. read more

Been coming here since I was 20 years old. Still great after 30 years! Portions a little smaller these days but still has same ambiance, just more crowded now that the words out! read more

I should have known chicken fried steak can't be take out the breading on steak was almost off due to condensation.the mashed potatoes great and gravy, fries soggy but I'll keep going but only for dine in read more

We've now been twice and both times have been great. The food is wonderful- they're known for their chicken fried steak and there's definitely a reason for that! The wait staff is friendly and it seems like they have a lot of old timer customers who have been coming for years. read more

We have driven by here a ton and always said we have to stop by- and we finally did. I regret not coming in earlier!! This place is the real deal. The food is absolutely delightful. Being from the south, we like to think that we know good country cooking and this place has it all. We absolutely devoured the chicken fried steak, ribeye, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans and peach cobbler. We left absolutely stuffed but can not wait to come back-- hopefully for Sunday Brunch! Inside decor is very cute, and kitschy in a good way. Our server was incredibly nice and welcoming. Everyone we interacted with was so sweet and kind. Love this place! read more

I love it! I lived in Texas and Montana and this place makes me feel at home. The chicken fried stake is amazing!!

We haven't been here for twenty years, ordered their chicken fried steak. It was enough for two but the gravy was bland and the steak was overcooked. The batter fell of the steak , I did like the potatoes. Not sure that we will be back read more

Just what you want and expect from a Texas joint. Everything fried is great, and their gravy is honestly delicious. Not super salty or even heavy, if you can believe it. Unpretentious, straight up, comfort food. Super friendly staff. I had the chicken fried chicken and it was HUGE. My mom loved her fried cod. read more

On Halloween we called to make sure they were open normal business hours and the girl we talked to said yes, open until 9. We got there around 8:15. We tried to pull open the doors and they were locked... Understandable if they want to close early for a holiday but, we had called to check so it was a super disappointing experience to have went out of the way to call and check, drive there, and then been lied to. Doubly disappointed because I had been dreaming about the food all evening and had excitedly told the neighbors where we were going after festivities. Called the next day to talk to a manager because I was so dissatisfied and the first one we talked to was very understanding and said the manager on duty the night before would give us a call later to make it right. He never did, so I called the restaurant back later that evening thinking perhaps they had forgotten and asked to speak to a manager and the girl on the phone asked if this was about the Halloween incident... Why would another staff member who wasn't a manager know about this unless they had been talking about it to other staff??? I made sure to only tell a manager about the experience. It's very disrespectful that the staff had been talking about us... very unprofessional. Nonetheless was then transferred to the manager who had been working the night previously. Told him the experience and he couldn't have sounded more bothered to listen to me. He also lied to me. Said that they had locked the doors at 8:30 bc it was slow. I remember checking the time on my phone. I don't go to restaurants 30 mins before closing unless it's to go because I work in the industry. It was 8:20 when I looked at my phone after trying the door because we had a quick smoke before trying to go inside. All I got was a, "sorry we disappointed you". Normally when a restaurant makes a mistake on their end they offer some sort of apology gesture to promote a good relationship and we received nothing on the promise that they would make it right. Overall very very bad customer service perhaps the worst I've gotten in the valley. So sad because the food is so good but it was not an enjoyable experience to be made to feel like a burden, the staff talking about the experience when they should have never known, have been lied to twice, and then received nothing after everything to bring our business back after such a poor experience. Was craving them so bad that night but now I don't think I'll ever crave them again. Had heard they were under new management...and it shows. read more

I think this is our third time here. We know a few people who always rave about this place, and we keep thinking maybe it will get better. Maybe we were there on an off night. But I must conclude after this visit that this isn't really the case. Some folks clearly do love it, but I am totally underwhelmed. Our table this time ordered the southern pork chop, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, and smoked prime rib. Some of this we had previously, some was new. First the chicken-fried steak. I believe I commented last time that it was mostly breading, and not very flavorful. That is still the case. Without the gravy it has no flavor at all. I would expect some from the breading, but it just wasn't there. Denny's makes a better one. I am not kidding. The southern pork chop is basically a chicken-fried pork chop. This one was pretty good because there was more meat than breading, and so I could taste the pork. The breading and gravy worked well with it, but it was still lacking any real flavor to distinguish it from other restaurants. The chicken-fried chicken was similar to the pork. More meat, and you could taste the meat, but the "chicken-fried" aspect is totally lacking. The smoked prime rib was easily the best dish we ordered. The au jus was a bit salty, but it was a very smoky and flavorful hunk of meat. Portions are reasonably large, though for some reason they have reduced the size of their plates. We compared to our old photos and it was obvious. Seems silly to me to cram the same amount of food onto a smaller plate. The "fries" were actually large chunks of potato that were not seasoned in any way. The outer bit was fried, but the rest was like a baked potato. The mashed potatoes were just mashed. No garlic or anything. The cajun seasoning on the table helps. And the salads were not very popular among those who ordered them. So all in all a very expensive, and very disappointing dining experience. We have their punch cards, and they're half full. But we have no plan to return and so will likely just toss the cards in the trash. read more

My boyfriend and I went in and had their prime rib, which was excellent cooked exactly how we wanted it to be. We had reservations and we seated right away. Our server and others came and checked on us quite a bit. The server was very knowledgeable. The restaurant was particularly quiet on this Sunday and it just seems like a hometown kind of restaurant very western I would go back 100%. read more

Can't go wrong at this place, its all good, wish I could go more often. Great service and price aren't to high.

My wife and I happened to be in the area and she is from Texas and appreciates a good chicken fried steak. Our search turned up Texaz Grill. What a great find. We could not stop fawning over our food. She of course ordered the chicken fried steak and it was huge and delicious. I know. I had to taste hers! We ordered a side of cole slaw; so delicious. And we both ordered the mashed potatoes and gravy. We also were served a true homemade biscuit. It was so darn good. For my order, I got the catfish. This catfish was huge! It was amazing. She got sweet tea and I got unsweetened tea. Our server was great. She provided that down home flare. Great manners, personality, and pleasantly attentive. She made us feel like she knew us for years. The ambiance was great. A sort of old style down home country bar with nostalgic pictures plastered everywhere. It was so darn cool. I ordered a slice of pecan pie to go. I'm a pecan pie critic and I would give it a 6/10. That's fine though. I'm going to try the peach cobbler the next time. We were so delighted with our dining experience here and we vowed to return again perhaps for Sunday brunch. We can't wait!!! Thank you Texaz Grill!!! read more

Fabulous fabulous fabulous!!! The food here is just indescribable, it is drool worthy!!!!! Down home comfort food to the max! We had chicken fried steak, (which by the way they have the very best chicken fried steak you could ever experience and the quantity so huge it will serve two people two meals!) make sure to ask for extra gravy to take home so you have enough for your leftovers! Comes with skin on mashed potatoes, And a really nice fresh salad with chopped up green olives and ranch dressing. We also had corn, fried shrimp, amazing coleslaw, homemade biscuits, and for appetizers we had fried okra with an amazing dipping sauce and macaroni and cheese! Then... For dessert we had homemade peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream They have made some nice improvements and changes inside but still keeping the fun eclectic look with lots of neon signs & baseball hats & trophy animals on the wall, it's really fun- All of the staff are incredibly friendly and warm and helpful and just make you feel good I give Texaz 10 stars read more
