WOW, if you are hungry this is the place to come, excellent service as well as food, the chicken fried steak dinner will feed two very easily... Everything is texas size !!! read more

Oh my it has been a crazy last few months. Travel, family and so on. I will cut straight to the review. We met here for two birthdays. I had of course the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. It came with a veggie but who cares about that when there is a huge chicken fried steak on the plate. The chicken fried steak is probably one of the best ones I have ever had. I like chicken fried steak, but my doctor does not like me eating it. What a great place to eat. The service was great and the atmosphere was great too. read more

The Hubs and his mom and dad andI all went here on Saturday night. Its walking distance from their house and we go here a few times a year. I like going on Fridays much better because they have a great fried fish that is only unfortunatly sold on Fridays :( This time around I ordered the chopped steak, it was pretty decent, its loaded with lots of grilled onions. I love the mashed potatos and the side salads come with tons of chopped up green olives, which anything involving green olives gets a plus in my book! My mother in law got the catfish, I snuk a bite and it was pretty good. Not fisy at all. The hubs got the tbone. He asked for it medium, but it came out on the very rare side. He ate it anyway and said it was good. I love that they have Shiner Bock here. That is up on my list of favorite beers! read more

Known for it's fabulous ribeye steaks, I have to say we have found our favorite place for Catfish, it is just delicious, and what a serving, Two big catfish fillets, served with mashed potatoes and gravy or steak fries, all for$12.00, you just cant beat it. The Catfish is always fresh and Fabulous, the crisp batter is like no other, and the fish is flakey and YUM YUM!!!!!. The chichen fried steak, is no joke, enough for two and just AWESOME,tender and tastey served with mashed potatoes/gravy and homemade biscuits, the kind of stuff that sticks to your ribs, you will not go home hungery, that is for sure. TEXAZ is a small place but it is cozy, parking can be a bear, but the food is worth it. Oh yeah, almost forgot , they do have a lovely pecan pie served a la mode if you like, DELICIOUS! read more

Best chicken fried steak ever!!! They have huge portions, great service, and the food is delicious. One if my favorite parts is the atmosphere inside. It's a really cool spot. Owners are always there working and walking around. Awesome spot! *phoenix foodies approved read more

We've been coming here for 20yrs at least and they never disappoint!!! Seen them through the name change etc. This place reminds me of home... Tucumcari, NM to be exact! Thank yall for the outstanding service and delicious food! read more

I've been eating here since I was a kid...we'd drive from 99th and Indian School just to eat at this restaurant (it used to be called Lone Star, but they had to change the name because the crappy restaurant chain of that name legally forced them to change names when the chain moved into town.) I'd still drive 40 miles to go to Texaz Grill. The fillet is wonderful (sometimes I get it without the butter). They have the best mashed potatoes in the state, swimming in a HUGE amount of gravy (good stuff, but I typically spoon off a bit). The salad is fantastic (chopped green olives on top...who'd a thought they'd taste so good on a salad with ranch?!) Service is good. They don't mess around here...good food, good atmosphere, decent pricing for what you get. read more

I'm so in love with the Chicken Fried Chicken, it's juicy and delicious. I admit it's really my favorite thing to eat here. I always think about, maybe switching things up, ordering something else. But no, I can't it's just too amazing. Ok so I've mistakenly ordered the fried steak, which turned out to be a happy accident. It too, tasted great. I've also tried, bites of other dishes, and pretty much everything tastes great. Portions are really generous. I usually end up boxing up about half of my meal. The salad and bread, do me in almost every time. Texaz has a "Clean Plate Club Card" sadly, I only have few stamps, I doubt I'll ever fill it. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the desert that's rewarded when your card is fully stamped. My Family has enjoyed eating at Texaz for many years now. Texaz is always amazing, every single time! read more

We used to live within walking distance of Texaz Grill back in the late 90's. We pretty much O.D.'ed on the place. Yeah, it's that good. What some might call, "A heart attack on a plate", I call "Redneck Paradise" (minus the boots, Bermuda shorts, wife beater tee, and cowboy hat, of course). Texaz grill serves the best Chicken Fried Steak and Chicken Fried Chicken I've ever had. Be forewarned though. If you come, bring your appetite. If you leave Texaz hungry, it's your own fault. The portion sizes are more than generous; I think "Obscene" is more accurate. The mashed potatoes are mashed with the skins on and smothered in thick white gravy, as was my chicken. The corn niblets are nice and buttery and the chicken was nice and crispy. My co-workers had the chicken fried steak and the steak was larger than the plate. You also get a biscuit, although I'd prefer a roll, I just forgot to ask. The Chicken Fried Steak and Chicken were both $7.00 and the Iced Tea was $2.00. I feel it's a pretty fair deal for lunch. The Texas and Arizona memorabilia that adorn the walls and ceiling are fitting for this place. I remember when you could smoke in restaurants and it was very smokey too. I'm so glad the smoking ban passed. I've heard the place can get busy for lunch, so we went early and didn't have any problems finding parking and we were seated right away and served promptly. Texaz Grill gets 5 stars in my book and I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you left the Bermuda shorts at home and come fully clothed. Now for that angioplasty... read more

So I read about this Texaz place having great Chicken fried steak. My partner loves some of that! I really shouldn't eat it and it's where? Close to home. How much do we have to pay for it? $7 maybe less. Really? The place does look divey and we might not have tried it without Yelp. Got a parking place right up near the door, sauntered into the Texaz . Noted the armadillos and horned toads scaling the ceiling, the hats, the bric a brac, the country music, the beer signs. More condiments on the table than I'm used to. Lea and Perrins, Heinz 57 Steak Sauce, A-1, Ketchup, mustard, Tabasco, another hot sauce, jar of chili's, Sugar pourer, salt, pepper, and a caddy of pink sugar packets. The waitress was right on cue, with menu and kid menu, a cup of crayons and no rush. Drinks came immediately. We ordered some chili frito's (in the bag) a chicken fried chicken, a chicken fried steak and a pork chop all with mashed potatoes, corn and white gravy and totally tasty biscuit. Frito-bag chili came out first and was yummy, we all shared. Dinner came just as our bag o' chili was gone. It was hot and ready. My partner absolutely loved the gigantic chicken fried steak, my chicken was moist and all white meat juicy. The corn had that roasted buttery flavor I adore. The drinks never languished. The server was always available but never invading our space. Pacing and food and price couldn't be beat. Those were very good mashed potatoes! No one had any leftovers to take home. My daughter even ate almost every bite and she had ordered an adult meal! It was too late when I noticed the oyster po'boy special... shoot! I'll have to come back. And then I'll have to come back again because with three steak sauce choices maybe I should have bought a steak? There is an ad on the table that they serve the cheapest steak for your money. I have to know if it's tasty and not just cheap. Couldn't leave without a dessert. We also couldn't pick between pecan pie and bread pudding so we left it up to our server. She brought us out a 3 1/2 inch square of very hot sweet, drenched in sauce bread pudding. Very Yummy! Our bill was light and our tummies were heavy and we left with a five star feeling. However I had to remove a star because an hour after we ate we both suffered some gastric distress and frequent visits to our private bathroom. I still will return, because it can happen anywhere and there was a lot of dairy in that gravy and in the potatoes, so it's partly our fault, but I had to mention it to be fair in the review. Still...If what you are seeking is down home food, not counting the calories or concerned about the cholesterol, just come on in and eat it up! It's some tasty Texaz. Update: Went for dinner this time, and the service wasn't near as good, prices were much higher than food value and as such it wasn't worth the bill price. We know now that you should order the specials, those are generally good deals and come at lunch. The mashed potato was still stellar but the gravy was too thick to move. My Prime Rib was +30% fat and that left me with a much smaller portion than I expected. My partners steak DID need the steak sauces, so it's not that they have fabulous NY strip. Docked one star off my original 4 star rating. Come if you want hearty lunch foods though, then it's worth it. read more

Don't get Texa'z' food in Phoenix. It wasn't very good. The meat was a very small portion (not exactly following the saying of everything is bigger in Texas). The side dishes were not very good, but the desert was pretty good. Did I mess up and not get the chicken fried steak which this restaurant is known for? My health had the best of me when considering it was a fried dish, so I avoided it. But then I opted for a very lean slab of beef which isn't exactly the healthiest either. I do have to commend them in making Shiner Bock their house beer. Luckily it wasn't the Lone Star. The Shiner Bock Black was pretty good. read more

I just don't get it. this place is like a homeless shelter but with even worse food. I know it's southern style....but EVERYTHING is double fried...and you walk out of their feeling like death. It's expensive ($25 pp with soda) and just not quality food. this is worth a big SKIP.... read more

Thank you TexAZ for introducing me to the Steak Lin Su Saturday special! It's a fantastic steak topped with bernaise sauce, artichokes, and mmmmm shrimp. YUM! Also, thanks for suggesting Tito's Vodka. Surprisingly smooth and tasty. I liked it so much, I went & found it at Total Wine & More. Fast, friendly service with good food. Always busy, but you never feel like you wait for too long. I'll return regularly. read more

Alright. I am finally writing a review for TEXAZ. One word. Friggin awesome. Ok, two words. I am a huge fan of the smoky prime rib of which I usually get the mulligan (or the American) cut, a 22 oz monster that comes with a killer jus and horseradish.. mmmmmmmmmmmm. The chicken fried steak is what they are famous for but try the fried chicken. Super juicy. Make sure you get there a little early as they tend to run out of the prime rib... read more

Truly a unique spot, the ambiance is that of an old-school local streakhouse with stuff plastered all over the walls. The service was efficient. The food portions were good sized and nice flavor. We ordered the chicken fried porkchop and NY strip. Both were nice and tender with good flavor. The mashed potatoes were very good. read more

Don't get a cholesterol test the next day cause your doctor will get on you for it being so high. The only thing that I didn't like is that they have a smoking section and you know what that means... all the smoke floats over to the non smoking section. The ceiling is low so the circulation isn't very good. No need to dress up. Put on your elastic waist pants and go for it!! The chicken fried chicken is DELISH!!! And all that gravy and mashed potato!! Ahhhh!!!! One meal is enough for 2 people, but me, the greedy porker.... I HAD to get my own. The Jack Daniels bread pudding is plate lickin' good!! read more

CHICKEN FRIED - CHICKEN FRIED - CHICKEN FRIED - CHICKEN FRIED - STEAK!!!! WHITE GRAVY!! I was pleasantly surprised the first time I ordered this dish a few years back - didn't have a lot of hope that the gravy would be "right" - boy was I wrong! I have not stopped going back!! A girlfriend and I go for lunch and we can split the portion - it is huge! The dinner portion is off the charts! Everything is right about this dish - the steak is so tender and the crust so crispy - and the gravy - well, Grandma would be envious!!! read more

Beefsteak Mexia - so now we have a version of the CFS which is topped with red sauce and longhorn cheese. And the steak is almost the same size as the plate. So delicious it can't be put into words. Now I find myself in a real dilemma . . . which one takes first place as the "fave" chicken-fried-object??? Every time I think they've topped themselves here . . . they come up with something new. Guess I'll just have to keep on coming back! Thanks to all for continuing the top-notch food and service!!! PS: the Pecan Pie slice is now 1/6th of the pie, rather than the 1/8th it was before. Dear God in Heaven what a delicious dessert!!! And more of it!!! Back to the gym I go . . . . :) read more

Being a Texas native, foods like fried catfish, biscuits and gravy, and chicken fried steak all hold a place near and dear in my heart. TEXAZ grill has taken up a permanent residence. Eclectic decor? Check. Bumper stickers, license plates, University of Texas football team picture from 1986. This place has it all. Portions large enough to feed Zeus, Mr. T, and a Brontosaurus at the same time? Check. The ribs were probably taken straight from an elephant. The biscuits are about as large as my newborn's head. And the chicken fried steak is enough food for the offensive line of the Dallas Cowboys. This place is the real deal. A few reviewers have been disappointed by the heaviness of the food. To that small minority, I would say this- you came to the wrong restaurant. It's called TEXAZ Grill. I'm not sure if they know what kale is. read more

We have been wanting to try this spot out for quite some time and finally had a chance to make it out that way. It seemed like the hostess/server forgot that there was COVID protocols in place. She didn't have a mask and even mentioned that she forgot. I figured that was fine, she'd go get it and all is good. She just kept going about her business... so I was a bit hesitant. They then forgot my son's drink and the server kept going and continuing her conversation with another individual at another table. At the end of the day, we came here for the food. So I was excited when the food came as it looked great. However, both my wife and I were a bit disappointed in the chicken fried steak, which was not nearly as big as the pictures suggest. That said, I must say the fried pork chop was delicious! We all thought that was terrific and wished we all just got that. We may give this spot another try if in the area of the valley again, but time will tell. read more

Coworker recommended this place to me. Turned out to be a very rare homerun here in Phoenix. Most restaurants inevitably disappoint, but this place was mega solid. Service is really great. Nancy was our server and she is a true pro. Very nice change of pace to have an attentive and efficient waitress. This place runs like clockwork. Food was outstanding, and came out at just the right pace. I love chicken fried steak, but I rarely order it because it never stacks up to the old Stroud's in Kansas City. Texaz does a very solid CFS. Giant, dinosaur sized piece of meat, cooked perfectly, just slightly under-seasoned, but overall awesome. I ate the entire thing, and I'm well under 200lbs. Coleslaw was near perfect, too. My girlfriend had their ribeye. Cooked as ordered, very tasty. Her mashed potatoes were spot on. She was happy, and our dogs loved the connective tissue we brought home. Beer list is a little thin, but that's not why you would come here. Decor is cool; definitely reminds me of a lot of the hole-in-the-wall places I've eaten at in mid-sized Midwest cities. Pricing is good, but parking is shit. It's always busy for a reason, though. We came around 8p on a Tuesday, so luckily there was some parking and no waiting. If you come here during happy hour, best of luck! Highly recommended. read more

Even though they have new owners the food quality stays the same. So often new owners try and change things these people are intelligent enough to leave what is good alone. I do like the ability to order half of the chicken fried steak. Us small eater's couldn't handle that big one. read more

My husband and I went to dinner here. It was our 1st time here. I had a steak with coleslaw and mashed potatoes and he had chicken fried steak with a salad and mashed potatoes. We loved the food and the service was great. We will definitely be back read more

I am a sucker for great service. The only complain I have would be I wish they included their daily specials in their regular menu. My ice tea never went half empty unless I begged them to stop refilling. read more

Great food HUGE portions. The chicken fried steak is the same size as the plate. Gravy was awesome. I usually hate white gravy because a lot of places make it with a smokey flavor, this does not. It was so good. Pretty sure we had leftovers after half way through. Always try and come when we are visiting family in Phoenix. If I remember correctly parking is limited. read more

Well, our son decided we needed to eat here - we are in town visiting him. I would have preferred something lighter, but I am telling you that if you want a hearty meal in a very colorful setting this is the place. The menu is largely steak and fried foods, but you get a salad and potatoes with every meal. They do give the options on some of the foods - pork chops, chicken, shrimp, fish - to have it grilled if you please. Special of the day was liver and onions, which we all passed on. I decided to go whole hog, and got the bear battered fried shrimp, our son got chili as well as two fried chicken breasts (he is a construction worker, so can eat like this), and my husband got the grilled pork chops, with big sides of grilled onions and grilled mushrooms. The service was excellent and the food very good, although maybe not the best choice for the night before Thanksgiving. The decor, if one could call it that, was the most fun of all - walls and ceilings plastered with old advertisements (haven't even thought of Nehi in years), letters, pictures, license plates, and on and on. It was a lot of fun, but back to salad and lighter things. Except tomorrow for turkey day. read more

We really wanted to love this place! But the service was so slow and the waitress was slightly preoccupied. Our good wasn't good-order the chili and it was terrible, they did remove it from the bill. The ribs were good though limited side options. Seems like a good spot for regulars and tebar looked the bar looked relaxing. read more

Stopped in here not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised with the strange decor and all of the hats hanging everywhere. The bartender was very friendly and talkative. Didn't have a chance to try the food (waiting for an Uber to take us to our next location) but our drinks were spot-on. read more

A great neighborhood restaurant and bar, the staff knows its regulars and the service is very good. Known for its chicken fried steak, the portions are enormous. The mashed potatoes and gravy are amazing, great comfort food. I have yet to have a bad meal there. read more

TexAz Grill is the number one restaurant in the entire world. Just go there everyday and order everything. Then get coffee and desert. I love the dinner salad, it comes with always perfectly ripe tomatoes and green olives. I order it with ranch, and add salt and pepper. Holy cow it is good. I like all the entrees and specials, order with beer, and chase with coffee, and peach cobbler. Home run. Must check this place. read more

Id definitely recommend this texas style hole in the wall joint. It reminds me of my days I texas. Funny bumper stickers and hats as decor. Expire fed friendly waitstaff that know how to get you feeling comfortable or put you I your place. I went with a cold bud light as the domestic choices just spoke to me! The chopped brisket sandwich was really quiet good despite being served upside down. Maybe that's the thing. I ordered a frito pie and and it came on bag ready to go. What a good ole Sunday place. They brought be a fun little fried rice cake beignet thing with a good amount of powdered sugar and life was good. If this place wasn't in a strip center I think you'd believe you were in a shack on a ranch grubbing down. Enjoy! read more

Absolutely nothing comes close to the chicken fried steak. But the chicken and dumplings are close. Grab a Shiner Bock and enjoy read more

Grew up eating here...Since it has changed hands, the food is bland, and just " different "..not the same feeling..chicken fried chicken was disgusting. I just hate not being able to go there anymore.. read more

TexAZ Grill does one thing & does it well: STEAK. (Actually, they'll cook yours to order, not just well.) You'll get a reasonably priced, delectably tender portion of your favorite cut of meat. Their mashed & baked potatoes are good, so is the coleslaw. Salads are lackluster, mostly iceberg lettuce, cardboard-like tomatoes, served as a vehicle for the dressing. But you don't go to TexAZ for rabbit food, you go for meat. And Texas beer. Best steak within 20 miles. Used to be the best deal around, too, but as of mid-2008, prices have been raised - plan on $20+ per person if you want a meal and a beer, $14-17 per person if you just drink water. read more

There's a reason this place has sold over 700,000 chicken fried steaks! We went here last night and that's exactly what I ordered. I couldn't believe the amount of food I got once it was there. The hot gravy on top of it, along with a side of mashed potatoes. Amazing. Before dinner though, they bring out fresh biscuits, which I quickly buttered up and coated with honey. This review was based on my own dinner. The four stars was for the chicken friend steak. Im being generous because on the downside, the salads we got seem wilted and old. Our waitress at times was too busy talking to people than checking to see if we were ready to order or go. My girlfriend got shish kabobs and wasn't too much of a fan.. especially after she tried my CFS. haha.. My friend got the pork chops and it seemed too much fried food. Weird? Overall it was good, but there was room for improvement. read more
