The BEST chips you'll find anywhere. Awesome food, good service, great atmosphere. No AC so you'll be sweating on those really hot summer days. Only complaint- the house margaritas are terrible.

One and done. This restaurant has a great location and appealing atmosphere but the overall experience was poor. The checkin process for guests is bizarre. You give your name to the hostess and are asked to watch for your name to appear on a chalk board in a thicket of trees. No digital checkin whic...

Always love coming back to the Gristmill. Food is wonderful. One of my favorites is the chicken salad sandwich on sourdough. They also have a new jalapeno margarita. Yumm!

Little bit of a wait but worth it! Super friendly staff and the other patrons waiting for seats were really cool. Almost didn't even need a knife for the steak and the sides were amazing! The Gruene beans alone will have you coming back!

Excellent service. I listened my friends advice and tried their chicken fried chicken with gravy sauce. Great food. Must eat here if you visit the town.

Usually great, but today not so much. I enjoyed my steak salad, but my wife did not like the ribs. I feel like the barbecue sauce was used for the seasoning only, and artificial smoke to give it the smokey taste. Taste through out the meat was lacking. Maybe because I can do much better ribs I don't...
Very very long wait, call ahead

After rafting down the river for 4 hours, everyone was hungry. Our friend told us about the Gristmill so I decided to take our family there for lunch. 2 family, total of 9. Wow, I love the restaurant setting right above the river. The place have no air condition here but there were plenty of sha...

In here, you are paying for the experience rather than the food or it's quality. It's a tourist spot that it's not woryh the wait in my experience. Go to the bar on the corner, next to the general store. Talk to the bartender and save time and money. I ordered a pasta salad dish and it was not very ...

Frozen margaritas are a must! We had the slow cooked ribs and fries, and the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. The patio fans were perfect for this Texas weather heat! The staff was peppy and attentive, the view and breeze from the river was refreshing!

Gristmill is worth the drive, you will not leave hungry. The Onion rings were my favorite among so many amazing dishes, side dishes, and appetizers that are equally amazing.

Great steaks - they know how to cook blue rare - and if you like sangria, try their frozen version. There are lots of different seating area and different views, all fantastic. We saw two small bucks sneaking through by the river while we were there.

This place is a very pretty place in a unique setting minus what happens behind all of the smiling and happy management it s a pretty terrible place to work for. Anyone is allowed to look at the kitchen any time they visit. Best time to do it would be during a busy weekend. You can see that no one...
