This place has been around since 1985 and a fun neighborhood spot. The service/staff is welcoming and helpful. It's an easy order easy hangout spot for some down home food. The food was exactly what we expected, tasty and filling. The portions are large and a box to go most likely is needed. They have a bar with seating for happy hour or drinks/food. read more

This place has a great vibe, service and food. We enjoyed the food from scratch. My margarita was yummy and strong. Chicken fired steak and prime rib did not disappoint. Peach cobbler like mama used to make. read more

My wife and I visited from Los Angeles, but she is from Houston, TX and we wanted some chicken fried steak. We got the chicken fried steak and it was good, gravy was very very hot, not a negative, that was my bad to eat it right away. Everything was good and well priced, waitress was nice and attentive. Lots of Texas memorabilia to look at, felt like an old school cracker barrel. read more

A long, long time ago, overplowing in thr morthern tier of states and strong prevailing winds blew the topsoil of Kansas, Colorado, Montana and South Dakota into the Texas Panhandle. It was called "The Dust Bowl". It shredded the US economy, upending the lives of many. Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" is a microtome slice of those millions of stories. Why do I tell you this? Because three of my grand-uncles stayed put, toughing it out in the Panhandle. My grandmother grew up cooking for them and a host of farm snd ranch hands. Sundays in Los Angeles our family sat diwn to fried chucken, real msshed potsties with chicken gravy and any number of sides. TexAZ is that for me. I enjoy the food immensely and nostalgically. In Grandma's childhood the chuken and beefvwrre home-grown, varfish caught in local water bodies. Life's changed. I thank the msny beasts whi've shared their fleshy goodness with me. Especially breaded and fried. read more

We went to Texaz twice this week for lunch. Wednesday special was Texaz Reuben and Thursday was Open Face Roast Beef Sandwich with mashed potatoes and mushroom gravy. These are 2 of our favorite specials (there are more Shrimp and Grits). We had the usual excellent service and went home with a to go box. We are regulars and always try to make it to the Oyster Shucking Event with former owner Steve Freidkin. Best Chicken Fried Steak in town! read more

We were sat at a booth on the far right initially, but had to move to the opposite side due to the pungent smell of BO. Smelled around and it was coming out of the wall. Picked this place after looking at the reviews for best chicken fried steak. At first look when it arrived, the steak was huge. However, not only was it the most tasteless, but the actual meat inside it was like paper thin. Added note, the mashed potatoes were cold. Maybe because I had the gravy on the side. I contemplated giving a review, but it was a long drive for us to get here. I think at one time this was the dive place that delivered real grub, but over time (and lack of cleaning all the items that cover the walls), this place needs a complete overhaul :( read more

Food was delicious. Our server Ashlie was such a pleasant surprise! I am not quick to jump at the opportunity to go out for a meal these days. It seems like ever since COVID the expectation of good service has disappeared and the quality of food is lacking everywhere you go. The only thing consistent is the price increases we continue to see. Tonight was great service with a "I'm happy to help you" great attitude. Lots of suggestions on seasons that will taste good on potatoes to trying their homemade cocktail sauce!! And guess what? The shrimp cocktail was delicious not to mention the chicken fried steak. Best experience I have had in a very long time. Thank you Ms Ashlie! read more

Today they are busy, it's Mother's Day. Service is good. Ambiance is great. Food is good. My grandson ordered catfish also. Just before we left my daughter asked for peach pie to go. It looks delicious. They did bring a slice of apple pie as it was Mother's Day. We three on it till it was gone. It was very good better than any I've eaten in a lot of places. It was even warm. The waitress was kind and checked on us several times. We mentioned no tartar sauce for the fish and she says oh my goodness and rushed back and brought it right to us. Why it wasn't put on the plate to start with. We have no idea, but it doesn't matter. It is a country Texas place. It's been there for years and we go there every once in a while. Prices are very reasonable, and we love the ambience of the place with the car tags from all over, their cap now in the ceiling, some of the hats around the room and posters. My grandson remembers it with more hats and car tags. I don't really remember the hats, but I enjoy looking at the car tags and see where they're from. It's a great place to visit. Don't expect it to be one of these top hat, places, jeans and a T-shirt or jeans skirt and shirt are just fine cowboy boots or tennis shoes even flip-flops if you have a western hat that you usually wear or you can wear it in or a baseball cap. I'd have to say it's cozy, but I don't know about intimate. It's an enjoyable place where groups can go or just a couple or even a single person. I have not been to the bathroom in several years but quite a number of years back, they were small, which didn't really matter to me as I'm not big anyway. We always enjoy going there. My favorite dishes are prime rib, catfish and chicken fried chicken all of which are very good and will not break the bank. I didn't put much in because it was so much noise there at the restaurant but then again it's Mother's Day so it was busy. I considered average although I read other reviews that thought it was too noisy but then I wonder if they've really been to Texas establishment. I've lived in Oklahoma, and most of the places are noisy. I've lived in Arkansas, the same and even in Missouri. Likewise in California and even here in Phoenix. Restaurants are where people order the food and sit and talk and visit. I expect the noise unless I'm going to a really expensive place and I do expect it to be a bit quieter because the clientele will normally be different. Awesome place love it and yes, we'll go back again. I just don't know when. read more

I tell you this was the draw of the straws when we got to Arizona to find some place to eat. It just so happens that this kind of fit the bill for what we were looking for. We wanted some place that was casual, that had drinks, and had barbecue. We were more than pleasantly surprised, the menu was terrific the food was huge, and I mean huge it came on platters. Our waitress was more than friendly and helpful when it comes to choosing our dishes. And trust me she makes one heck of a cocktail. It was just what I needed after a Long Day's flight I wish I could have spent the whole evening there. Good job guys, keep up the good work and I hope everyone that reads this goes and visits. read more

Very disappointing. They did not everything on the menu. No longer have beef ribs. The worst hamburger I've ever had. They did comp the burger because I only ate half. It was not good enough to take the leftovers home. The service was acceptable. I would never go there again and I live in the neighborhood. There are so many places in the neighborhood where you can get excellent food read more

Chicken fried steak hangs off the platter. Gravy mash potatoes nothing compares. One day a week it's a special price.

We have gone here a few times. The menu descriptions do not match the items (beef kabobs) causing exposure to allergens. The waitresses are snotty with condescending attitudes. The salad is iceberg lettuce and tomatoes?! Side choices are limited as are drinks. It is basically a place to get a fried food fix (if you want entrees drenched in oil)- and the skin/coating peels off to reveal undercooked meat The lighting is low (probably to hide the poor quality of food) and the music is loud depriving the waitresses to be able to communicate effectively (if they can) The food and service are definitely declining which is too bad as you really want this place to be good. read more

Texaz Grill - Salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Excellent food + service - a more authentic Texas Roadhouse founded by true Texans. A great history to the place as well.

5/3/25: Short version - the food was okay, the decor very western, the service was the best part of the experience. Long version - if you have been to the Tortilla Flats Saloon, you'll have a good idea of Texaz's interior. Instead of being covered in dollar bills, however, Texaz was covered in biz cards, paper armadillos, and license plates (the oldest I saw was '73). Of course they have a John Wayne poster, along with busts of boars, deer, steer, and pheasant, to name a few. Our server, Cherie, was on the ball. Taking our drink order quickly, bringing refills without us having to ask, returning to ask how everything was. The food? Well, we were both rather disappointed. I ordered their chicken & dumplings special, my sister the tipsy Texan, plus an appetizer of the fried okra. The okra was good; the corn that came w/ the dumplings was totally canned corn, and I suspect the gravy was simply canned soup w/ some spices tossed in. My sister said her burger flavor was good, but she would have preferred fries to the bag of Fritos (don't know if that was an option, or an upcharge). We both ate half-heartedly, wondering if their dinner entrees would have been the better route to go. But then, if they serve canned corn for lunch, it's highly unlikely the dinner would have been better. A couple things to beware about: 1) Parking. There is a semi-sizeable lot tucked away behind the complex, but its entrance does not accommodate more than one vehicle; it's a pretty tight driveway. If you're trying to exit while someone is trying to enter, be prepared to back up & let them enter first. You can't expect them to back out since they would be backing out smack onto Bethany Home Road. Other than that, there is one lane of parking on the south side of the restaurant (behemoth trucks beware). There is two aisles of parking on the west side, but again, if you have multiple large vehicles, it could be a pretty tight fit. 2) Restrooms. I can't speak of the john, but the ladies' restroom is claustrophobic. There are two stalls, but it's so small that I stayed outside while one lady was washing her hands. Trying to maneuver around her to reach a stall would have been tight. If you are a large woman, which my sister is, unless you have to go badly, I would hold it. When I returned to the table, I immediately told my sister she would be extremely uncomfortable trying to use the facility. All in all, Texaz is not worth a revisit. Yelp!'s two-star rating is dubbed "could've been better". I give Texaz three stars for "okay" because I don't relish giving lower reviews, but it definitely could have been better. read more

Couldn't have asked for a better meal for the prices presented. Steak has a buttery flavor and the mashed potatoes are thick and smothered in gravy! The chicken fried steak was definitely one of the best I've had,with a crispy crust! On top of everything our server was very kind and was hustling multiple tables at once but never forgot about us. read more

For as long as I've known my husband, he's liked chicken fried steak. (Chicken fried anything, frankly.) He even made it at home once and it was pretty ehhh mediocre despite the fact he's a really good cook. So the thought of finally driving out to try Texaz Grill didn't have me too excited. Fun fact: it was actually the night of our twenty fifth anniversary, but we had a fancy dinner scheduled for the weekend. Marriage is about compromise, so... This place was great! I ordered the chicken fried steak because you have to order their specialty. The meat was tender, (something I did not expect) the breading was crispy, hot and expertly fried. I loved that it didn't taste greasy or heavy. Loved the light spice of the gravy. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. Even the Little Tex with just one steak was ginormous- I had to take half home along with half of the mashed potatoes. They bring out a salad or slaw plus biscuits with your meal so you will be full. The restaurant has a nice roadhouse charm to it and the service is very friendly. Moral of the story: Step out of your comfort zone and try that place your spouse likes. You might be surprised. read more

This restaurant was smaller than expected but we loved the Texas license plate and memorabilia that covers the walls. Our server, Abby, was efficient, friendly, and had a sense of humor. We left the restaurant stuffed. From the warm biscuits to the nicely made salad (no wilted or brown pieces!) and the perfectly smoked prime rib, we enjoyed everything and finished our plates. I would have given a 5 but the silverware was a major frustration. The blunt tines on the forks made picking up the meat difficult and the dull knives just shredded the beef. When we come back I just might bring my own. read more

Honestly, I did love the atmosphere and the service. But I think this food was one of the flavorless foods I've had ever! I ordered a brisket sandwich, which the meat was hard as a rock. I also ordered two sides, corn and green beans, it tasted like nothing no salt and no butter! I thought Texas people like to add flavor, I was kind of shocked! And it was so bland unfortunately I was still so hungry when I got home. read more

I have been eating here for decades. This is my pick for a birthday meal almost every time. Went last night and was completely disappointed. All the sides were good. The service was good. It's the and dirty hole in the wall. Dirty little bathrooms. I already know that though. The disappointment was in what they used to do best. The chicken fried steak. The meat in our meals was both burn and un chewable but also think and under cooked at the same time. The batter was thick, mushy and gross. It all sticked together like a plate of mush with soo much pepper. . Not the awesome crispy breading it used to be. I'm sad. read more

Such a Phoenix staple! We love TexAZ Grill! If you sit at the bar, Missy is such a a rockstar, she'll take excellent care of you. In the dining room, be sure to have Cheryl wait on you! These ladies know hospitality. Of course, you MUST have chicken fried steak as your entree. And DO NOT say no to the homemade biscuits. I love them doused with butter and honey. So good! We usually start with the fried shrimp. It is perfectly fried, the breading is crunchy and not too heavy. The shrimp are jumbo sized and super fresh! Now as for sides, I know not everyone loves mustard but you really should try their mustard dressing on the house salad. It is unique and tangy and delicious. read more

I love the TEXAZ Grill chicken fried steak lunch. Its so fresh and good. The portion is very large and makes a full day meal. Its price is very reasonable. Thank you! Anyone who writes a review that they don't like this dish are fools!!!!! The servers are very friendly and they have lots of western memorabilia in the restaurant. Forget cracker barrel go here!!!!!! read more

The food was absolutely horrible. The mashed potatoes were so gummy and seems like they were on a steam table for a long time, corn and green beans had no flavor whatsoever do ever. And the supposed "best chicken fried steak" was almost inedible. So greasy that the breading didn't even stick to the meat. Don't waste your money like we did.....I would never recommend this place. read more

Big portion but the food was just ok... the server was kinda awkward to my table.. maybe because i'm an only Asian at this establishment ? We got chicken fry steak and fry gulf shrimp.

I have been coming to this restaurant for three years. I understand that not every meal is going to be perfect ,however, the quality of food and customer service by the new management has declined significantly. I have probably spent thousands of dollars at this restaurant, as being a regular customer. Tonight a manager named Chris S. Was extremely condescending and patronizing. I sent back a steak that I would consider to be the quality of a Denny's steak. The manager, Chris was condescending and insulting. For that reason, I will never come back to this restaurant. Not only for that reason but also because the food is not to the quality it was from the previous management. read more

Love the atmosphere, friendly service and generous servings of comfort food! The go-to item is the steak sandwich! A healthy strip of steak on a hoagie. Served with a side and made to order. Delicious! The fried catfish is a generous portion with choice of sides. If you order the chicken fried steak, make sure you bring your appetite as the serving usually hangs off the plate! Accompanied by corn and mashed potatoes with gravy, and it's a full, and filling, meal. Finally, leave room for dessert. The bread pudding is warm and delicious! The only drawback is parking. Uber if you can, as parking is limited and spaces are small. Enjoy!! read more
