My wife and I came here for the first time to have lunch. We were received warmly and sat down right away. Our server Jessica did a great job but a young man named Rocco also checked in on us and very attentive. I ordered chicken friend chicken and my wife ordered chicken fried steak. Both were delicious, filling, and tender. The dishes also came with tortilla soup that was the best we've had in the RGV. Prices are reasonable. We are definitely coming back and bringing family and friends. read more

Service was great. The ambience was cozy and cool. The food was delicious! I had the steak and eggs! Soo good

Manager was rude , mind you can't even speak English correctly which I really don't mind but when you want to act like a Karen,, waited over 30minutes to get our order taken , he wants to claim because we were talking to some friends of ours , I was facing the kitchen at all times never did we get approached by server. After 40 minutes we were called by doctor next door and told him we were going to pay for our drinks he started getting all mad and speaking loudly , very unprofessional we go next door and the nurses tell us he is very rude that he practically argues with everyone read more

The liquid in the portobello Mushroom appetizer brought the whole dish together! Griffin Burger didn't have enough chipotle sauce, but when asked, extra sauce was served. French fries tasted homemade and very yummy. Love the grilled peppers and onions! Definitely if you haven't been here you must. Good music, atmosphere, service and food!! read more

Excellent restaurant with great staff. The menu and food are presented beautifully, and the taste--WOW!

Excellent place for great food but their service is becoming horrible...they take for ever to sit you down and really not that busy...Today I got there at 1:55 a family went right before me got sat down and I got turned away saying they close at 2... Mind you I understand i got there right before closing But! If you say you close at 2 then close at 2 not 1:55.... I hope they do better because I really like their food but not their service is becoming horrible especially seating takes for ever they ignore you!!! read more

This place is very good value! The place itself is warm and inviting with awesome service. There are lots of seating options and comfy booths. We went for brunch and #1, coffee is really really good. Plus it was unlimited refills for 2.00! Like what? The food options are plenty but the prices are crazy good. I got a hearty salad, veggies, potatoes and a pork chop with sauce for 10.00! The sauce was different. I didn't get to ask what was in it, it was thick like a gravy but tasted like a wine reduction. Really delicious. We also started with the nacho with the asada and it was so good. Everyone on the table loved it, although it was rich. My son got the salmon, my mom got the lemon caper fish. The fish dishes were perfection. My dad got the steak and really enjoyed it. I think one thing that stood out is their sauces were homemade. I could tell they take a lot of pride in the recipes, preparation and cleanliness. I do think they are undercharging a bit, but I'm not from here. Anyway, next time I visit the valley I'm sure to return. read more

Food is great when you dine in, do not order their hot plates to go. They use absolutely the cheapest styrofoam containers that melt and releases chemicals onto the food. Styrofoam should not be used on hot foods, they should at least put aluminum foil between the plastic and the food. read more

Always great food. Great, friendly staff. The variety and prices are good and they always seem to have smiling staff that's ready to refill coffee cups and bring the extras we forgot to ask for. read more

Stumbled upon this place as I was on a business trip and needed to grab a quick bite before my first morning meeting. As always, checked yelp for the highest rated breakfast spot in the area and this was it. Happy to say, it was well deserved! Their food was very good (and you can tell/taste it was made with true quality ingredients), but the thing that stood out the most to me, was their service. They were so friendly and clearly take pride in the way they treat their customers. The place was busy and full, but that did not stop a handful of employees (server, busier, managers?) from making their way to our table to make sure everything was great and tended to. I will come back to The Griffin Grill every time I'm in town! read more

3rd time ordering from Griffin . Breakfast and lunch food was hot and awesome . They included fruit with each order much appreciated .

The best. Just the best. The food is fabulous and prices are very reasonable. Jalapeño Sea bass and Rosemary Chicken are two of my go tos. Tortilla soup is the best I've ever had. And we're always treated like family, even tho we're just a couple of gringos is town a few times a year;) Breakfast and brunch are great too! read more

Brunch today after church, so so good. We had tried to go after church before; got seated quickly but noticed no one was eating and we were super hungry, so we left. After church drive by's revealed same busy place. Spoke to a co worker who confirmed the Grill was worth the wait. Absolutely no wait today. Greeted promptly... enjoyed a lovely brunch, even shared menu details with the owner. We will definitely be back. Can hardly wait to try their dinner menu. Prices were very reasonable as well. Despite the small size of the restaurant, there were a handful of large parties among the usual parties of 2 and 4 with enough room for the wait staff to provide great service. read more

I would give. 5 stars but i had their panini Let's say is not good But ...but their chicken fried chicken steak( not beef) or milanesa chicken steak are the greatest Not expensive Also the workers are pleasant Good atmosphere for lunch. Rest room clean My friends ate here and guess what we ate The one and only delicious chicken fried steak (not beef) From my point they are number 1 for this entree... just my delicious opinion. By the way i may not be a panini man. I have a panini toaster for sale read more

My boyfriend and I came to dine in and it was a wonderful experience. Upon entering, we were greeted by one of the owners and took a seat where we pleased. Service was great, they attended us promptly and happily. We started off with a tortilla soup and a caesar salad which were both very delicious. For our meals we got the shrimp scampi and pasta primavera. Personally I enjoyed both, more so the pasta primavera one, which is now my absolutely favorite pasta I have tried. Ultimately both were very delicious and I highly recommend if you like creamy pasta. The lava cake was amazing. I was a bit sad that it didn't come with ice cream but the whip cream really made up for it, as it has a thicker consistency and didn't taste as if it were store bought, and paired nicely with the cake. As for the cake, all I can say is wow. It was light and airy yet rich with flavor. The strawberries really sat well with the cake and were fresh. I came in kind of skeptical and left very satisfied. Online, the portions seemed a bit small and was worried it may have not been enough but the portion was great! The owners were there as well and was nice to see them taking part of really running the place and gave a nice atmosphere! The prices were very good as well and honestly I wouldn't be too mad if they raised it a little more! Nothing but good thoughts on this place and really hope anyone wondering if they should go, end up deciding to dine in! :) read more

Everything was great. We had cheeseburgers chicken fried steak and the special fish service was absolutely terrific. It's a small gem hidden in a strip center among medical offices but you should give it a try. You won't be sorry. Oh and French fries are home made read more

We went there with friends to celebrate one of their's birthday. The chicken fried steak was very good. It comes with soup or salad and I would normally pick a salad. However this time I choose the tortilla soup and I am so glad I did. It was so good I could have made just a meal of it. If you are in the area I highly recommend stopping in here. read more

The reviews don't lie. Restaurant was super clean and staff very attentive. Upon arrival we were greeted and sat right away. One of the owners is constantly walking around and asking if you need any assistance. This restaurant has an upscale feel to it without the upscale price. Coffee was very good I just wish the cups were bigger. I ordered the Mexican omelet which had chorizo jalapeños and cheese let's just say the combination is perfect. My husband had the chicken avocado, good flavor recommend asking for the mashed potatoes. The only bad thing was that the chicken was a bit on the tough side but nothing too bad. This is a place to go back and try more of their menu items. read more

Wanted to check this spot out for the cocktails; they were a bit potent, so you couldn't fully savor them. I've had better margaritas too; the menu appeared to have stains on it due to a drink spill, but the rates were reasonable. Service was excellent, which was a bonus." read more

Had the chicken fried chicken. It was phenomenal, has never been here will be back ASAP. The food is amazing he a bite of my wife's' burger and it was like my moms homemade burgers growing up. Seriously if you've never been, do yourself a favor and stop on by. Pictured is aftermath I could've eaten 2 of these not cause they're small but cause of amazing flavor and texture. Not a corn guy but mash potatoes were excellent compliment. read more

So we decided to try this place because it had high ratings. I don't know why they served us something beyond burned trying to pass it off as medium. I took one bite tasted like char BURNED! We called the establishment I WISH the establishment would have done more when we called but they didn't. Maybe it's good when you dine in. delivery or pick up I wouldn't recommend! First and last time trying this place. Super disappointed in this disaster called breakfast. read more

The Griffin Grill - BURNED STEAK suppose to be medium - American Near Me - Mission, Texas

The in-laws wanted to grab some grub post a 5K (which we walked the entirety of, because darn right we did!). And The Griffin Grill happened to be open and conveniently located. My in-law called beforehand and confirmed that the grill had vegan options - which is still sort of a rarity in Mission. Upon first impression, this certainly seems like the type of place with a bunch of "regulars." The owner knew several of the people dining there by name and was super warm and friendly! Our server, was also pretty darn awesome as our large group might have been a tad high- maintenance with all our food and drink orders. As luck would have it, she was vegan herself! A quick conversation with the owner determined that the house made black bean burger was vegan, along with a side of fries. The server confirmed that she enjoyed it and assured that I would also find it quite tasty. So it seems like in no time, our food arrived. The black bean burger was maybe a tad mushy, but that can happen when you're not relying on egg as a binding agent. It was massive and quite delicious and I suspect the perfectly crispy fries were hand cut as they all seemed to be varying thickness and size. I was able to reserve half of my burger for later, which I always appreciate as I live for leftovers! By the looks of it, everyone else seemed to really enjoy their selections as well and service remained top notch. We consumed an ungodly amount of coffee and our coffee mugs were never left empty for more than a couple of minutes. All in all, do recommend! read more

Amazing food! Cooked to order. Love their salmon! Service is friendly. Omelets are very good!

So we tried this restaurant because we love fish and on google it had great reviews on the salmon dish. To our disappointment it was okay but the rice it came with was mushy and bland, the veggies were very over cooked. I ordered the lemon garlic white fish plate also very bland and mushy. My daughter ordered shrimp scampi and she couldn't bring herself to eat it! It was a very lemony soup and not an exaggeration. Sad to say it was a waste of money and a bad experience. We wanted to take pics of food but we didn't want to embarrass our daughter. Hope this helps someone! read more

Excellent place, friendly staff and extremely delish food. Will be my top five choice for meals.
