Kathy was so sweet and attentive!! Absolute doll!! Man's DEVOURED that chicken fried steak had to unbutton his pants at the table. Quesadillas were also delicious. We also had the quail bites and the grits with some sort of honey sauce hit the mf spot. Will definitely be coming back.

Our book club had our Christmas party at the Frio on December 5th. I can't say enough about the excellent service we received by the staff. There were 21 of us and we received our drinks and food in a timely manner and our server Kathy went above and beyond giving us attention and service. The food was delicious, too. We will definitely be back!

This place is loaded with atmosphere and I felt good walking in. Now this might sound a bit crazy, but I love picking up my cutlery and finding that it actually has some heft to it, and that's what I got with my knife and fork. LOL Mr. Picky really liked his shrimp tacos and I thought that his chili rice and black beans were really excellent when I stole bites off of his plate. I ordered the stuffed chicken fried chicken and was very pleasantly surprised. They substituted sides for me so I had green beans (very fresh and flavorful) and onion rings with it. Although I'm not usually a lover of white meat chicken, I actually found this to be moist enough to eat, I liked the Gouda stuffed inside and the outer coating was fried beautifully crisp. I particularly liked the gravy that they used and asked for extra so if you order this do the same. It had a nice peppery aftertaste and I asked if it was the same gravy that they use on their chicken fried steak. It is. For dessert we shared the sooapilla, strawberry and whipped pie thing, and bread pudding. Hands down, the moist warm bread pudding with ice-cream was by far the best. Overall, this was an enjoyable dining experience and we'll definitely plan on heading back. (Brunch on Sundays only.). Based on dining, it should be rated higher than a "3.6" so give it a shot when you're in the mood for some down-home cooking.

I recently dined at the Frio Grill and had a fantastic experience. The kids' area is excellent, and the beach balls provided extra fun for the little ones. The French fries were perfectly crispy, and the burgers were juicy and flavorful. The kids' chicken tenders earned a solid 8/10 from my young critics. Overall, a great spot for families with quality food and a fun atmosphere.

Amazing service, everything was so good!!! I recommended the chicken tenders and the fries Mac n cheese balls!!!

Delicious! From appetizers to desserts! Great service! Such nice ambiance. Lovely ppl. Feels like home.

This place has wonderful food and service. Our server was attentive, made small talk, asked about us, and provided us the history of the restaurant. We ordered fried pickles, pecan bourbon chicken, chicken fried steak, and the pull pork sandwich. All items had great flavor and were served hot and fresh. I will say, I made a mistake in not ordering my own pecan bourbon chicken entrée. I tasted my son's dish and it was outstanding! No complaints on my selection.... I just can't wait to visit again and order my own Pecan Bourbon Chicken.... We went on a Sunday and will consider this a new local favorite.

Frio Grill absolutely nailed the Frio River theme, the nostalgia was intense. Our waiter, despite being extremely busy was very attentive and seemed happy to be there. The Mac N' Cheese balls are AMAZING. Not only are they fried to perfection, but the Mac itself is tasty with a hint of spice. Not your everyday Kraft for sure. Stuffed Chicken fried Chicken, a solid dish. No complaints, loved the Gouda and the French fries are actually seasoned and enjoyable. If you're a fry lover like myself, definitely get some. My mother ordered the Pecan Bourbon Chicken, it was a bit sweet but a nice meal. If you're more towards savory I suggest just going with the chicken fried chicken. Drinks were good too. We will be back. The environment alone is worth it. 10/10 experience.

Okay maybe it isn't a solid 5, but it is a lot better than a 3.7! This restaurant is sooo Texas. It is quirky. Fried pickles and chicken fried steak sandwiches, a dessert called the Texas State Fair with fried oreos twinkies and snickers bars, and mystery cans of beer for $2.50! In these days of corporate similitude I have to salute a restaurant who will deep fry a twinky or two. Service was excellent. Mystery beer was "three on the tree lager" out of Blanco TX. They built it to look rustic.
