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...

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!

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...

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!

The last time I came here was about a decade ago. It was as amazing then as it was today! Friendly service, delicious food & drink. Long islands, burgers, and fries+ONION RINGS ftw. You can't beat the central Texas scenery in an open-flow environment, especially during these crazy covid times. Well-...

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. The service is kind, and the setting is shady and not uncomfortable considering that the seating is mostly outdoors. You will ...

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.

First time here and the food is delicious. The queso was amazing, especially on the burger! Understated yet amazing flavor, I truly appreciate that. The waitress was polite and very attentive. The entire restaurant made me say "wow" it's massive and amazing. The restrooms were clean with inspiration...

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...
