I have come here for years, love the place, but the quality has gone a bit up and down. My last couple of visits, I was extremely happy. The prime rib was excellent and the chicken fried steak was good again! It had deteriorated to being a thin, nasty piece of meat with too much breading. But it was back! Unfortunately, we went there last week and wanted steak. Although in the past, I had tended not to order steak here, I thought, "what the heck." The ribeye was expensive, but I thought it would be a nice piece of meat. It wasn't. It was a very thin cut and not tender. Or flavorful. Plus, I was under the illusion that they would cook it on a grill. They didn't. It was pan fried. All in all, for the money, it was not a good meal. I can still recommend this place for the prime rib, chicken fried steak, the chicken fried chicken, But I have some questions after getting three rather poor ribeye steaks. I will be back and let's hope this was an aberration. But $35 for a bad steak seems a real waste. And the first time, our waitress was less than great. Abrupt. A little rude. Ignored us for a long period of time. And it wasn't that busy. I've always thought that The help staff here was terrific. Chalk it up to just one bad night. I guess. read more

Anyone remember when this place was called Lone Star. Then a lousy chain going by the same name came to town and made them change the name. Food still looks great tho. BTW that place went belly up and these guys are still here:) read more

My husband absolutely loves the chicken fried steak here. This time he ordered the larger portion knowing he'd have leftovers. After having the liver on a previous visit I opted for the chicken fried chicken this time. Also amazing. The homemade pecan pie a la mode was best I ever had. We love this restaurant. read more

Absolutely delicious! I used to come here as a child and I am SO happy everything is the same!!! I love the vibe and the staff was extremely pleasant. We will definitely be back!! thank you!!! read more

One of my favorite meals is the chicken fried steak, mashed potato's, both covered with milk gravy and a side of fried okra. Talk about memories, my mom's is the best. So when we discovered this place, we didn't know if it would match my memories or be another frozen mock up. Walking in, the decor is really country chic, very old school, from the old photo's, the license plates to the lighting. Our server was quick and friendly. We got our food and it was delicious, since my meal didn't come with the fried okra, it was an add on, it came out way before our meal along with the bread, and both was eaten way before the main meal, but, they were hot and I didn't want them to cool off, so we ate. As for the chicken fried steak, the breading was close, but not exact to my mothers, it didn't taste or look like a frozen piece, so it was one the best, chunky, breading, golden brown, tender steak. So someone knew what they were doing with cube steak! read more

Went on the recommendation of a friend as I asked where to get a good country fried steak. It was probably 2-3 ounces of a super thin tasteless steak and 7-8 ounces of breading. Service was stellar, business was dirty and worn out. read more

After going here for 25+ years, it had been about 4 years since we were here. The chicken fried steak was good but not as tasty as before. The pork ribs were very tough and were taken off our bill. The grilled fish was very good. We'll give TEXAZ Grill another chance and hopefully the chicken fried steak will be better next time. read more

We have lived in this area for seven years and always wanted to try. Today was our lucky day! We both ordered the chicken fried steak and we were delighted that it lived up to all the rave reviews. The service was also great, very attentive and informative about the menu. The ambiance was very unique. I loved it all so much. TEXAZ you have a new customer for life. If you are tempted please go. You will not be disappointed. read more

What a great find! I was in the area visiting friends and we talked about getting a chicken fried steak. This place appears to have been around a long time. I started with a house salad...nothing special but was a nice serving. The lettuce was crisp and it had ample tomatoes. Next was the chicken fried steak that was breaded perfect and a very large portion. It was served with real mashed potatoes and everything was covered in white cream gravy. I felt like I was in my hometown enjoying a lifetime favorite meal! I'll definitely be back if ever in the area again. read more

Ownership promptly reached out to me to discuss and I am pleased to say both the owner and management were courteous and extremely professional in the manner in which they handled my concerns.

The food was amazing authentic chicken fried steak. Huge portions. Shiner Bock served. But the waitlist was not managed well. We were told 20 min and we waited well over an hour and 15 min. We had nowhere to be so we just waited, People were angry about not getting called when they were on the list. It was ugly. read more

You only need to know three words walking into TEXAZ Grill: chicken fried steak. It's a huge monster, with a crispy double dipped batter layer encasing a beautiful tenderized steak, smothered with a beautiful white gravy. Without a doubt TEXAZ Grill has the best chicken fried steak in the Phoenix area, perhaps even Arizona! Portions are huge too! The dinner portion actually gives you two steaks while the lunch portion gives you one. The coleslaw and mashed potatoes on the side were huge as well. The restaurant is a bit small and the parking lot a bit smaller, but the interior is definitely cozy and the staff is very friendly. It really makes the meal worth it on top of the kick*** CFS. You NEED to try this out! read more

Texaz Grill - Chicken fried steak so awesome it doesn't fit on the plate! - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place never disappoints. The staff is friendly and efficient. They will make you laugh and feel as is you are apart of the family. I had the Chicken fried steak, warning I would get the single serving , otherwise you will get two and it takes up to 2/3 of the plate, stacked. It comes with a small side salad, just your generic salad. Mashed potato's and it is all smothered in a milk gravy, very southern. It came out nice and hot and you could cut the steak with your fork, the potatoes were very good. They had some good deserts but was way to full from the meal. Stop by and say hi. read more

The chickens fried steak is great, although I don't love the gravy, but the actual chicken fried steak is great. The waiters are super nice! It's a great place to read more

I don't understand the hype behind this place. The interior looks like it's from 1987, complete with the duct tape holding the booth upholstery together. The silverware is flimsy, cafeteria-grade to boot. Service is atrocious. Dined here twice, equally disappointed in the quality and portions. First time, the signature chicken fried steak was overdone and bland. The second time, the steak sandwich lacked flavor with exactly 11 "Texas" fries on the plate. read more

I really like a good chicken fried steak. Theirs is the best I've ever eaten. Great service.

Service is great w/the friendliest staff. Chicken fried steak is the greatest. Servings are generally plentiful. On the opposite end of the spectrum is their brisket on a bun. Brisket was tasteless, dry, chewy, & didn't seem like it was fresh as it formed like a frozen burger patty as it wasn't tender & juicy tender like that served at other restaurants. Jt's appearance appearance was unappetizing. Tasted like it had been cooked, formed into a patty, & frozen. BBQ sauce was almost tastless. It's the worse brisket I've ever tasted. Their desserts are delicious. Salads are plentiful. Biscuits are fresh & good. Bathrooms are not ADA accessible. read more

What can you say about the location that has sold more Chicken fried steak then any place in Arizona and also the only one that keeps count, so who knows. The ambiance is dive bar mates with a old world Texas eatery and the result is The Texas Grill. The portions are large, more then anyone can eat so that's a plus. If you are looking for good chicken fried anything, this is the spot for you. Chicken Fried Steak was legit also had that fried shrimp Po Boy, which I self created, paring a few dishes together. Worth trying...Yes...blow your socks off...No. read more

Texaz Grill - Great steaks amazing chicken fried steak get some!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I ordered a rib eye which was tasteless & swimming in grease, it was suppose to be medium but came as medium rare...disappointing. The mash taters was fair; it could've used less of the overpowering white gravy. I want ed their peach cobbler, nada, all sold out! read more

I was craving for country fried steak and drove to this restaurant to fulfill it. As you enter the restaurant you will notice the hats, license plates, nostalgic Texas decoration. It feels like you've been transformed into a Texas country bar. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and sat down inside of a booth. The menu is right side up on the table. Inside the menu are comfort foods to order such as, chicken fried steak, fried okra, steak and burgers. Of course, I ordered the chicken fried steak with the gravy on the side; it was so delicious. Five stars!! It was good enough to feed two people. Additionally, the bread pudding is served warm with whiskey sauce. It was a perfect ending to dinner when you're all fried up! read more

Well, 2nd trip to TEXAZ grill to try the smoked prime rib. OMG, it was awesome! The bark was just right and the smokey flavor was in every bite. It was served in a platter swimming in an ample amount of delicious au jus. The meat was juicy, tender throughout, and cooked just right. I asked for horseradish and later felt bad for not eating it.....the prime rib was soooo good, I just wanted to savor every bite of meat without the horseradish! TEXAZ grill will now be my go-to for prime rib. It's well worth the trip from Surprise where we live. Go early before they run out - the prime rib is popular. read more

I was introduced to this place years ago by two good friends that are regulars. I have not been back until two relatives from the Midwest were craving a down low place for a good steak *boom it clicked. From the outside to the inside you are in dive city but inside it is one of those places with everything stuck to the wall, every square inch and it's kind of cute. Service was good can't complain and when we were ordering I decided to go big or go home (chicken fried steak) when our server asked if I wanted a full order or a half order I was like "pssssh I'm a grown man give me a full!" OMG when it came out it was an unassuming huge piece of CFS with delicious gravy and flavorful potatoes and I wasn't paying attention until my friend looked over and said "there is another huge piece under that one" upon inspection I had an entire meal under my meal = full order. Half of it was just as delicious reheated the next day. Huge portions, unpretentious and a delicious ultimate splurge! Friends liked the steak, next time I want to try the chicken fried chicken or fried shrimp.....we will see if I am man enough again for a full order! read more

I know, 5 stars for a joint in Bethany Home and the 51... are you crazy? The answer is no, the exact opposite. I'll start with the service, I sat at the bar today, lovely young lady who was very engaged and determined to make my first experience here a lasting memory... she succeeded. I ordered a drink and discussed menu options with her, I landed on the trio of fried meats, cfk, cfc, and cfp however I hate chicken so I asked to substitute for an additional piece of cfp. I wasn't in to the sides as I really don't like potatoes or vegetables (yes I am a fat person who loves meat) so she suggested a double order of salad, I declined thankfully as the salad she brought out was more than I could eat in a week. The salad was old school style, not that thick ass nasty dressing, appropriate consistency and very tasty, I actually ate more than I expected. Then she brought the fried meats, now typically I go gravy in the side but I got distracted and forgot to add this to my order, but the gravy was so good it didn't matter. They pounded the cfk and breaded it to order, I assume the same for the cfp. Outstanding in crunch, tenderness, quality and flavor. Absolutely delicious. I will be back again in the next few days for sure. Do yourself a favor, don't sleep on this throwback to what great restaurants used to strive to be.. this place is legit!! read more

I left hungry, heart broken and very disappointed. I absolutely love chicken fried steak so of course I wanted to try their's. It's a cute spot without a doubt. There is so much to look at inside. Buttttt it took my boyfriend and I a while to get seated and our simple cup of chili and "Bubba's special" which consisted of eggs, biscuit & gravy and chicken fried steak never made it to our mouths! Yet the table of 3 that came way after us got their fried okra, dallas tacos, some kind of burger, salad & chicken fried steak before us?!?!?!?! Something wasn't right, we could feel it. So we asked the server where our food was? And why the table of 3 got theirs before us and she said "it depends on what you ordered" Yeah umm no you're not going to tell me that you had to make the chili and bubbas special fresh from scratch. Go elsewhere. Even Denny's has a decent country fried steak. Save your reply Business Manager, I don't want to hear any excuses for your shitty service. read more

Excellent chicken fried steak! Mary provided great service. Don't miss out on this restaurant!

Being from Texas, this place was a complete disappointment. The ribeye steak was something I would expect from a roadside diner. Definitely nothing from Texas. The rolls were like bricks pecan pie was disgusting. The only reason I put 2 stars was my waitress. Was a gem, holly. Otherwise is would be a hard pass. read more

This place is hilarious. We went on Sunday night at 8, the kitchen closes at 9 even though they say they are open to 10, they said they can't control YELP, HEY YELP, THEY CLOSE AT 9 ON SUNDAYS!! The food is authentic Texas, fried and then fried again. None of us tried the chicken fried steak because we forgot our Lipitor. Had fried chicken, beef brisket, and the rib eye all were ok, mashed potatoes were probably better earlier in the day. Nothing to flavorful except I did like the coke slaw and the biscuits. It's probably more fun at peak times when your waitress isn't running on fumes. We were sitting after we ate and they started to turn the lights out, we went out the door and they locked it behind us. A little abrupt. Oh well.... read more

I can't believe I've never written a review on Texaz Grill! I've been many times over the years, including Christmas Eve a couple years ago w my family. Anyway, back to the food. There are a lot of reviews and I don't want to be repetitive, So I will attempt to summarize those attributes that contribute to my five star rating. #1: the food - The food is consistently excellent. While I haven't had everything on the menu, I've had quite a few items and they never disappoint. One of my favorite things to order is a large portion of prime rib dinner for takeout. Also the chicken fried steak is another takeout favorite. I had the chicken fried steak tonight and it was perfect when I got it home- crunchy and hot. #2: the service - The service is always friendly and efficient. I've never had an empty iced tea cup, they've made great menu recommendations. #3: they are accommodating- they are nice about modifications. I had the Brazos Burrito made as a salad, gotta love me a brisket salad! #4: generous portions - I always have enough left over for another meal. If you haven't tried Texaz Grill you're missing out! read more

Probably the 6th time I've come here, TEXAZ grill offers consistently good food, service and a fun ambiance. Every time I visit, we always see something we didn't notice before and strikes up some unique conversation. I always (and probably forever) order the Chicken Fried Steak! It tastes homemade, savory and satisfying. Imagine a huge portion and then double it - that's TEXAZ for ya. You're lucky to eat half of the dinner portion, but the price can't be beat. A great stop for a casual lunch or dinner. The wait staff here is sweet as pie! Bonus is they always offer you some extra gravy for your leftovers!!! read more

I have lives in Arizona for almost 15 year and this is my first time here. The food is amazing the country fried steak was perfect! The decor is so Texas! read more

Outstanding food and wonderful service. This place is a staple and coming back after an almost 20 year hiatus it was just as I amazing as I remembered it. Cool atmosphere and great food. What more could you ask for. Tip: don't come in a long bed pickup, parking is tight. read more

Let's say that this is homestyle cooking. The food was ample in portion but needs a little lift. The salad is very basic and bland. Needs a little color and flavour. There was not a lot of excitement from the start. I was craving a great steak and I had never been here before. The Ribeye (My favorite cut) was lacking in the quality of the beef. It tastes like grocery store Holstein and looked like it when it cooked up too. The meal covered my hunger bit I felt this place could be so much better with just a little tweeking. The decor I loved and it screams Texas. It was fun to read the articles and see all of the hats hanging from the ceiling. As always, I may have just caught it on an off day. Check it out for yourself. read more

If you want the sweetest waitress in the entire world, just ask for Helena! I stopped in tonight for the first time since the restaurant changed ownership about a year ago, and I can confirm that the food is still just as delicious as ever. The recipes have not changed. I'm so glad - no need to mess with a good thing. My only problem was not enough room for the Clean Plate Club! read more

Still the best chicken fried steak in town! Texas size portions! Come hungry! Try them for dinner tonight

I'm new to.the Phoenix area and Texaz Grill like many other eateries are in walking distance from where I live so I ordered take out so I can.have a relaxing movie night. I ordered the chicken fried steak, fried okra and mash potatoes. It came with a salad and a biscuit. When I went to pick it up I was checking out the look of the establishment it's really neat. Biz cards on the ceiling, I'm mean its covering the just about the entire ceiling, baseball caps repping Tx and so many other great souvenir pieces The next time I will go in and eat to take pics of the nice establishment. I saw on the menu they have liver onions so I definitely want to try that. Every once in awhile I want a good meal. I will return Texaz Grill. The chicken fried steak was very tasty along with the okra and mash. Sald was good with the mustard vinaigrette dressing. This was my take out box.ill be eating on this for the next 4 days. Lol! read more
