Grotto Grill

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This place is truly amazing! First, it's in the middle of nowhere but manages to turn out cuisine that you'd stand on line for hours in NYC to get and pay five times as much in the process. Jason Boyd is a genius with food as his creative art and is absolutely dazzling in his ability to turn out consistantly great dishes with very little help in the kitchen. All dishes are prepared when ordered, nothing is left on a steam table and every salad is freshly prepared and all with in-house dressings. This means that one can order the same salad daily and although each will have exactly the same ingredients, every salad will be a touch different and always perfect. His handling of fish, fowl or meat is equally stunning with sauces and garnishes that combine tastes in a most creative fashion and every surprize is a pleasant one. In cooler weather, his soups are to die for. A caution, however, as every dish is individually prepared, there is no fast food. If you're looking to grab a quick bite and hit the road, better you go to Sonic. If however, you're looking to dine and a 25 minute wait won't kill you, you owe it to your palate to go to the Grotto. Be prepared for a happening. The beer and wine list changes with the tides and specials are put together with serendipity. Some really fabulous dishes have come and gone with the whim of this chef who wants only to give his customers fresh, healthy foods; prepared with a style and panache that would be hard to find in Paris. I know, I've lived in both places and I'll take Bandera's Grotto.

The owner/chef has a wonderful way with food. The flavors mesh with each other extraordinarily well without it being overly 'busy'. Stop in, take a load off and be prepared to be amazed! It will make you wish your stomach could hold more - but, one can always return and you will find yourself doing so.

We had dinner here recently and the food was AMAZING!
This is definitely going to be a place I would recommend to anyone looking for a variety in menu choices.
