Cool place to unwind. Bar has plenty of space and the staff is friendly. Also for dinner at the restaurant. This is not your usual bar or restaurant. It's a unique place. They allow you to smoke in the bar area. Numerous outdoor seats are also available. If you are in the area, check it easy, find it interesting.

A friend recommended this restaurant to me. I didn't eat here. There are two main reasons why. Apparently you can still smoke in restaurants/bars in Grapevine. When I came in, I was immediately greeted with the smell of cigarette smoke from the bar area. It shocked me. I asked for a non-smoking area and was advised to go to the back of the restaurant. Kinda stunned. Secondly, I tried to eat healthy. Avoid meat and friend food. This is not the place for it. Burgers and roasted food and meat were the most important things in the menu. There was a salad bar as an option, but I wanted more than one salad. I wanted to eat somewhere else. I'm sure the food is good, just not what I was after.

We had the upstairs reserved for a party. We arrived in slow parade, not all at once. Personally was one of the last ones to arrive. My entire service the only interaction I had with the server at all whatsoever was bringing me my first drink and her wanting payment. Not only did she not bother to refill anybody's drink that I saw, they completely ran out of sweet tea.... this is Texas they ran out of sweet tea!! But she still went ahead and added her gratuity to the ticket without asking her anything else because we were a party that sit together that's all we were. we did not order together. To say she didn't jump through hoops would be a gross understatement she didn't do anything but bring me one tea. And couldn't even make more. No I will not be back. Who runs out of sweet tea in Texas? Let me rephrase that who runs out of Sweet tea in Texas that wants to stay in business?

Just walked to main street Grapevine I found good prices for lunch in Sunday. Its American buffet taste so so for me.

My husband was curious to try this historic restaurant but I was hesitant due to the negative reviews. We went early in the evening and there weren?t many people there. You do have to walk past the bar to get to the restaurant and there is a smell of cigarette smoke but it wasn?t overwhelming. However I could see how it could be if there were a large crowd. Our waitress was very friendly. I?m not going to say that the food is terrible because it isn?t, but it isn?t great either. A band came in and started singing before we finished our meal and they took time to talk with us before they started singing. Overall we enjoyed our visit.

Nestled in the heart of Grapevine, this historic restaurant-bar offers a unique blend of ambiance and comfort. Patrons appreciate the friendly service and appealing decor, highlighting a lovely atmosphere perfect for a casual night out. While some dishes shine, such as the acclaimed banana pudding, others leave diners wanting more—particularly the chicken fried steak. Unfortunately, the lingering smell of smoke may deter non-smokers, though it's a cozy spot for those seeking a relaxed vibe. With live music and a vibrant scene, it's an inviting destination that has both charm and room for improvement.

The service was nice, but the food fell short of expectations. The chicken fried steak tasted like it had been reheated from leftovers. Additionally, the pervasive smell of smoke filled the entire restaurant, giving it more of a bar vibe rather than that of a dining establishment trying to appeal to non-smokers. While the historic ambiance was charming, the presence of smokers detracted from the overall experience.

This restaurant in Grapevine is outstanding and rich in history. The food is incredibly delicious; my Grandpa would come here for breakfast every morning for more than 10 years. They also feature live music and have an upstairs area with pool tables. If you're exploring Main Street, bar hopping, or simply in search of a fantastic meal, this is a must-visit spot.

This is a fantastic place to relax and unwind. The bar offers ample space, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Additionally, you can enjoy a meal in the restaurant, which makes this spot stand out. Unlike most bars or restaurants, they permit smoking in the bar area. There’s also plenty of outdoor seating. If you're nearby, be sure to check it out — you may be pleasantly surprised!

The restaurant boasts an incredible staff who remain friendly even during bustling festival times. The bartender is hospitable and offers a diverse range of beverages. The buffet features an extensive array of dishes.

This was my first visit to Texas, and our group of 12 was greeted by a very friendly server with short hair. I think her name was Micah, but I could be wrong.

The service was outstanding. The omelette was tasty, and the fried chicken was likened to that of Golden Corral. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and overall, we have no complaints.
