4 reviews for The Gruene Onion Grill
We've been to the Gruene Onion Grill many times, and always come away impressed. Their food is tasty and creative. The menu is obviously put together by people who care about providing something delicious and which you might not have tried before. The service is excellent -- attentive without teetering over into being obnoxious. The atmosphere is quite nice, but not overbearing. One would generally feel equally at home in shorts or in a suit.
The prices run a bit high in the evening, but if you're there at midday, there are a number of good lunch specials that won't cost you more than an equivalent meal at a chain restaurant would. Their salsa and other southwestern fare taste more like New Mexico cuisine than Tex-Mex, which is a pleasant change of pace if you enjoy those flavors.
This is one of those places we bring people when they're in from out of town. Terrific food, nice atmosphere, and quiet enough to actually talk -- what more could we ask for?
Well, I previously gave Gruene Onion 3 stars, but after having dinner with co-workers tonight, I have to upgrade that to 4 stars. The menu appears to have been reduced down significantly, but everyone ordered something different, and everyone was very happy with their choice. I had the grilled chicken with cilantro sauce. It was delicious. The pecan crusted chicken looked amazing, and reportedly tasted "wonderful".

I am a huge fan of the Onion. I've had better burgers and they were EXPENSIVE! I'm not into paying a dollar for everything you want to add to it on top of the I'm guessing 7.99 you already pay for it. I think, sorry I can't remember, that the fries might be extra. Yeah, they were. 80% sure. C'mon, it's really good but NOT the best of the best.
The food is really great though. The atmosphere is great for a date. They have a bar that is attached to the building but separate. I dig the little bar because it has a nice little feel to it.
I really like it all for the most part.
Nice place, cozy atmosphere and some of the dishes experimental yet good. The place is also known for it's martinis and a friend of mine really love them there.
The service is very attentive.
