Gristmill Restaurant - New Braunfels

If you are looking for a very special restaurant with wonderful food, excellent Texas ambience, great view of the river, look no further. When I want to celebrate a special event occasion or take out of town guests too, I think of this wonderful hidden gem of a restaurant. Great food and reasonable prices and wonderful wait staff. Highly highly recommend!! Also while you are in the area, take advantage of the shops in Gruene and possible live music. While there, we heard live bands playing blues music. Wonderful area to explore!

Friendly staff, very good food, and a cool atmosphere. My wife and I both had the chicken fried steak with gravy I had the fries on the side and she had the mashed potatoes. We both thought the steak was well prepared and tasty, with a very good breading on it. It's easy to see why this is a favorite dish here. My wife thought the mashed potatoes would have more garlic flavor based on the menu description but they still tasted good. Portions were large we probably could have split an entree and been fine but decided we wouldn't mind some leftovers and are glad we got our own plates. We also left room for dessert and the Jack Daniels Pecan Pie really hit the spot. I thought the chocolate chips, while not necessary, complimented it well. My wife thought it needed more chocolate based on its description. We had been told prices were a bit high but we didn't think so. If we're near Gruene again, we'd like to go back and try some other dishes since everything coming to the tables around us looked great.

What a great place to eat! Live music, good drinks, and it overlooks the Guadalupe. I had the chicken salad sandwich was a spin on the original and was fantastic. The steak was also great as well. It's a unique environment and I can't recommend it enough to people coming to visit. Thanks!

Gristmill River Restaurant offers relaxing indoor and outdoor seating. It’s large and spacious. Much of the outdoor seating offers shaded areas with hilltop views of the Guadalupe River. There was a diverse menú of fish, seafood, steak and burgers. It was good but not great. However the reasonable prices makes this a perfect location for families and dates.

Literally one of the prettiest places I’ve ever dined at! Service was amazing, a cohesive staff from greeting, seating and serving. I genuinely have no complaints and the food is 100% worthy of claiming your next meal. Advice: ask to be seated at the large open windows!
