$2.99 margaritas- yasssssss!
Pauline J.

Service and ambiance are what you would expect... Fred's Frito Pie is what you come for! A cold, gray, rainy day is the perfect time for a warm train ride and a chilly walk to Tolbert's where you sit down to a hearty bowl of tasty Texas chili (NO beans!) topped with cheese & Fritos. Yum!

Fried Pickles
Angela Q.

We stopped by Tolbert's for a quick drink and appetizers. They had a to. We were right on time for happy hour and they had a ton of beers on draft. I can't remember which one I got but it was light and good. My friends had a variety of drinks from espresso martinis to bourbon. We ordered chicken bites and fried pickles. The band came by and set up for later. Too bad we missed them. The bartenders were super nice and we actually got a table to eat our apps but didn't stay long.

They have live music everyday! And the food was excellent. Staff is super nice. Great laid back atmosphere. Super family friendly.

The Original Texas "Bowl of Red"
Taylor B.

I had to see what Texas chili was all about so I ordered Tolbert's via Uber Eats when I have landed in Dallas. I ordered a bowl of the Texas Red chili and a side Caesar. I love that the chili comes with an entire Serrano for you to cut up as you wish into your bowl. What a great way for folks to be able to make that as spicy as they like. The pepper was perfectly ripe and had good amount of spice to it. The bowl also came with chopped onions and cheddar cheese to add, in addition to saltines, of course. The chili itself is greasier than I expected it to be. It has good flavor and there is a generous amount of meat in it. Is it the best chili I have ever had? I don't think so! But, it is decent enough where I'd get it again. I would be remiss not to comment on how amazing the Caesar salad was. I really love this dressing and I wish that I had gotten a larger portion versus the side salad.

Terilingua Terlingua Burger , Mac and Cheese -- DON'T GET THE Mac and Cheese

This restaurant is on the main street of downtown Grapevine, Surrounded by so many fabulous paces to visit but those other cute stores close early! There's parking along the street out front or a small parking lot nearby. This restaurant has a country western theme. It has a huge dining room and a large bar area. They have live music some nights and we went on a night to see a certain musician play her guitar and sing, and she was fabulous! The server was fantastic! He was always checking on us and answering all our questions, our food came out in a timely manner. We started off with the torpedoes and they were really good. They were a good size, about two bites and stuffed with plenty of chicken and cheese. I got the Terilingua burger because I wanted to try the chili but also wanted to try the burger. It came in a perfect combination. The only disappointment was that they didn't have a regular burger bun, it was a brioche bun which I'm not a fan of, but luckily the burgers flavors and chili were strong enough to overtake the flavor of the sweet bread. It was a good size burger that came with three large delicious onion rings on top. I got the macaroni and cheese on the side because another reviewer said the macaroni and cheese was so good. It was vastly disappointing. The mac and cheese was powdery/gritty and lacked flavor. It was as if someone had poured sand into the cheese. It was not creamy at all. Kraft macaroni and cheese from a box would have been better than this. I returned it and got the tater tots instead, which were crispy and delicious. I also ordered a spicy margarita, which is not on the menu, it was great and extra spicy as requested. My friend ordered the Frank's Frito pie, which is a bowl of chili and a side of corn chips. She raved about how delicious the chili was. My other friend ordered the fried chicken sliders covered in a buffalo sauce. I took a bite from one of his sliders. It was good, but I'm not a fan of buffalo sauce. He got it with a side of seasoned fries that were very good and I love the flavor of the seasoning. For dessert, one of my friends ordered the Keylime pie, which definitely tasted frozen, not fresh. I had to wash the taste of it out of my mouth with Kilwins fudge & ice cream across the street. I will definitely be back for the chili or the burger! The menu items are hot & miss, if you're nearby, it's a good place to try out but wasn't worth the 40 minute drive from Dallas. The drinks were really good. They have a happy hour, but unfortunately I live too far to get here in time for that.

Was here again to listen to some music on a Sunday night. The server was a little gruff, and I ordered a cheese quesadilla and she brought it and said the kitchen made an error, and they made a chicken quesadilla, I said fine, don't re-make it, but then on the bill it was listed as a Chicken quesadilla - so I think SHE put in the order wrong (and blamed the kitchen. I think I should only have been charged for the cheese - which is what I had wanted. I will say the music was great, and -- Hot tip -- the fried Zucchini is FIRE!!

Ok, Grapevine! Yes, you better keep shining Tolbert's! Yes, honey with that burger! I would have to say- best burger I've had in a minute- juicy, smoky, succulent and savory! Yes! Fresh and fantastic! Slow clap- love! Oh yes. Great service- nice entertainment. Love the vibe! Pickle chips- go ahead! Crunch! Forgot to take a picture of my burger- cool, so sorry. Just believe me- go get it! Two hander for sure- heavy lifting required! So good.

liquid marijuana - drink was actually blue - but this color that the lighting captured seems more appropriate :)

friend & i were in grapevine for business and yelp helped me find this AWESOME dinner spot! live band was bad company tribute band and they were great! that was a nice bonus! we were seated near the door, aways from the band, but we could still chat while enjoying the band. the bar was FULL & people kept up a steady stream of keeping it full. i decided on the burger and onion rings and that turned out to be a great choice! burger was BIG - juicy & tasty. bun was top notch too. i had to unhinge my jaw to take a bite! half was PLENTY! orings were great, fat - not my personal preference - but the breading was good & onions were cooked through - so you could take a bite without playing tug of war with the onion. friend had chicken fried steak & said it was very good. i did order a drink - a rarity for me, but the ingredients appealed - i like fruity drinks with rum. i was charged a higher price ($9) versus the $7 shown on the menu, but didnt notice til later. service was top notch, the hostess checked on us, refilling drinks in between visits from the waiter. overall a great dinner at very reasonable prices with live music too boot!

Fantastic Nepalese/Indian cuisine on Main Street!…read more We stopped by Karma and it did not disappoint! The restaurant is large with a nice bar area and the service was very friendly and efficient! Apps: Chili Momos (Veg) and Gobi Manchurian - the momos were super crispy and the sauce was very spicy in a good way! The Manchurian was so saucy and packed with flavor. Recommend both! Mains: Himalayan Thukpa, Palak Paneer, Malai Kofta - the Thukpa was the highlight! The broth was perfectly salty with a great umami taste. The Malai Kofta was rich and I enjoyed the cheesy koftas. The Palak Paneer was tasty, but I enjoyed the malai and thukpa more! Dessert: Pistachio Cheesecake - delicious! More like a pistachio ice cream cake, but it was so good and not too sweet! Overall, we really enjoyed our meal! Will absolutely be back!

The Himalayan thali was the highlight naan so soft it felt like clouds, and lentil curry that carried deep, cozy flavors. The chowmein with lamb and chicken had that smoky stir-fry kick, and the momos were a joy to try. The butter tikka momos were creamy and rich, while the choila momos with the chef's sauce brought a spicy spark that stayed with me. The drinks matched the season perfectly. The Gurkhas Old Fashioned was smooth with a twist, and the hot rum punch felt like warmth in a glass just right for winter. The place itself was cozy, with a vibe that made me want to linger. Even during busy hours the staff stayed friendly, though the food took a little longer to arrive. Still, the service felt welcoming. Altogether, the mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere made the evening memorable in its own way.

What a neat place - good atmosphere & vibes when we went on a Friday for a special lunch…read morecelebration. Big booths and various seating options inside & out. Friendly service. Good Happy Hour 3p-6p & Lunch Specials on weekdays. We enjoyed our meals and choice of side items. I got personal pizza & house salad. House salad was nothing special and they were very skimpy on the ranch. Pizza was tasty! Parmageddon & fries were enjoyed. Only thing my Dad didn't prefer with his dish was side choice of "seasonal veggies" and it was just broccoli. He was expecting more than one vegetable. He does not like broccoli but will tolerate a small amount. Lesson learned for next time, ask what the veggies are that day. Shrimp & Calamari app was good. We'll be back!

The original location in Frisco was always a go-to for us. This location is closer so we have tried…read moreto visit as often as we can. Their blackberry mojitos are well made and easy to drink! We love the decor and era theme with the MTV music video vibes. Like others have mentioned though, the service needs attention. We typically have issues with getting service on the patio, drinks are slow, we have to push for additional drinks, our food isn't severed timely, etc. Our most recent visit, I have to give our server credit, the pre-lunch salad was ordered incorrectly so it went back and by the time they re-made the salad, it came out after the main meal. My husband HATES that! We do not think twice to drive 45 minutes to get to Rock & Brew for the blackberry mojitos but to get bad service, that makes it difficult to justify. If you are headed to the bar to just have a few blackberry mojitos, I recommend this place all day. If you want service and plan to eat, I am not sure I would give it any stars with the last few visits. We have had great service here, just not in the last 3 visits.
