    I have to say this was the strangest experience we have ever had at the Frio Grill! We brought friends of ours to the restaurant bragging about how great the food was, and how large the portions have always been, and it was quite the opposite. We didn't arrive until 9:00 despite our earlier reservation at 8:30 (which we apologized for), and from the start the staff at the front (hostess stand) informed us that they were about to close and weren't sure if they could accomodate us. The restaurant was not busy at all (maybe a handfull of people in there) and as I recall closing time was 10:00 so we had plenty of time to eat and get out of there before then. When our dinner was delivered, it was cold, and the portions were embarrassingly small. My friend and her husband shared the pecan crusted chicken and the two pieces were only about 2"x2" in size. Definitely not the normal portion we are used to and they had to stop on the way home for fast food! Our waiter was very nice and didn't make us feel rushed, but the overall experience was not good. I would hope that the teenagers at the hostess stand didn't have anything to do with the poor experience as a punishment for our tardiness, but they were definitely annoyed that we arrived at 9:00 and asked to be served. Sadly I don't think our friends will be coming back, and I am not sure we will after that. Very dissapointing.

    My wife and I had reservations for 6:15 and arrived about 10 minutes early. We were seated at about 6:20 and placed our food order around 6:30. At about 7:10, we asked about our order and was told it would be “a few more minutes” and was given chips and salsa to hold us over. At about 7:30, we inquired again (we would have asked sooner but the waitress was too busy chatting with an adjacent table) and was told it would be about another 10 minute and was offered a pretzel. We passed on the pretzel, asked for the check and left. On the way out, we informed the manager of our experience and he seemed as though he could not care less. We will not be back and will recommend to anyone that may ask to seek another venue.

    We'll probably get the quail bites with cheese grits and bourbon bacon gravy every time. Exceptional appetizer. We had stuffed chicken fried chicken, shrimp tacos, terlingua trio, onion rings and pork medallions. All delicious. Great food and then walk across to The Barn for music and drinks. My wife loves twisted tea and most bars don't have it. The Barn has it on tap! Great venue. And as a bonus the staff at The Frio and The Barn are the best. Helpful, nice, good people.

    We we’re meeting family for a bday celebration. From the moment we walked in, the greeters were extremely rude!! We were seated and took a bit for a wait staff to come around to check on us in the private room, as he had not been notified he had a table. We had a extremely great waiter, Forrest! We let him know about the issues with greeters, he acknowledged we aren’t the first to say anything. Our family showed up, and instead of being helpful to direct them to our table, the host got extremely rude again and said “yeah we know, they’re back there!!!” This was our first time here and not impressed by the faces with attitude that “greeted” us upon arrival.

    Apparently this place has been right under our noses for years! Loved the food, music, the drink selection was great, prices were fair, and our server was new but honestly so terrific that we didn’t even know she was new till our meal was over and we were just chatting. Fun seating options, loved that there’s an outdoor bar and a live music area that we are excited to try soon. Honestly can’t wait to go back.

    We love going to Frio Grill and couldn't wait to take an out of town guest. We like their drink selections, especially the wide variety beer menu. And the food, is just not the same old same old stuff. Really like the addition of grits to some of the meals and appetizers. Our guest LOVED the gravy on the quail bites! Only thing that kept us from a perfect score/meal was the "I've been here all day" attitude of our server. Drinks took a little longer than normal, but it was Mother's Day, so there was that. Won't stop us from going again, for sure.

    This was not the experience one would want when celebrating Mother’s Day. First, we were seated 35 min after our reservation time. When we were seated, it was at a table that had been empty since we arrived. The meals arrived to our table long after we ordered. When it did arrive, it was all warm at best. The biscuits and gravy were runny. The sausage and burger was over cooked. Most importantly, they forget one entire entree. When discussing with the manager, all we got were excuses. This place is trash and would be better served shutting down. We won’t be back.

    I typically love this place and thought the fun, relaxed atmosphere would be ideal for Mother's Day... but our Mother's Day experience was extremely disappointing. We waited 25 minutes for our confirmed reservation (no biggy)...but it took another hour and 30 minutes once ordered for food to arrive.... when it finally arrived, it was cold and very lackluster. My daughter is a vegetarian, and confirmed with the server that the dish was meatless due to her dietary restrictions. They were out of hashbrowns, so they subbed in homefries... which were full of bacon, no effort was made to correct it or bring her something else. We never did receive requested condiments and just gave up, paid the bill and left. I understand that Holidays are challenging, but the brunch menu was basic, and they were out of half the items.

    The buffet food was warm to cold. Their were flies everywhere on the food and it was unappetizing. The eggs were not even Luke warm, the waffles were cold and the chicken items were cold as well. I will try it again because it is a neat place, but will not ever try the buffet again

    It was a really good experience for a special occasion. And the buffet was kept up well. The management goes out of their way to make sure everyone is taken care of- the only downside was I was very surprised at what they charged for my 2 and 4 year old, probably wait to go again for this until they are a few years older.

    We have been to the Frio Grill several times and the food & service has always been great. However, this time we waited for over an hour for our food to be served after ordering and then the food was not great. We were told there was a large party and the kitchen was very busy. Still unacceptable! Also, we were not happy with the large group of teenagers & adults roughly playing football & soccer, tackling & pushing each other down. Our littles couldn’t enjoy the field without fear of being smashed. I don’t think we’ll be going back anytime soon.

    We chose to have our family Christmas dinner here, since it’s centrally located for the majority. It was our first time, and we were all pleasantly pleased. Wasn’t a fancy place, which I knew, so I brought holiday decor and couple of poinsettias centerpieces to dress up our table.. management and staff were all very accommodating. Service was attentive, menu was simple and delicious—- most surprising was the cocktail menu, the drinks were unique, made fresh and also very tasty. There were 12 of us and everyone had a wonderful time. No complaints 👍🏻 We didn’t get to check out The Barn, but we will on our next visit (when the weather is better).

    We were celebrating a special occasion and made a reservation online. There were a lot of parties going on so they put us in a private dining room. It could not have been more perfect for us because we wanted to be able to have a conversation and be able to hear each other. So even though it was noisy in the restaurant our dining area was quiet enough so we could enjoy our dinner and talk. The service was great. The manager Alyssa made sure we were well taken care of. She was awesome! Our waitress was good too. Friendly and knew the menu well. We had a great time!!
