Eighteen Ninety Grille and Lounge - Granbury (TX)

1 /5 Brent Lambert: Not impressed at all. You have to leave credit card information to make reservations. They don’t tell you that if you cancel they charge you $20 per person and it’s nonnegotiable. So our party decided to go ahead and go. When we got there we had to wait 30 minutes for a table that we made reservations for (under duress). There was no mention or apologies for this, btw. The food was equally as unimpressive as the initial service. I don’t know if the chefs are actual professionals but the food wasn’t seasoned. It was bland and everything required salt. The only thing I actually like were the green beans. The steaks come charred no matter how you order them and it’s supposed to be a steak house. The portions are small. The cuts of meat are not the ounces you order. They are less. It was like mommy and daddy owned a restaurant, went away for the weekend and let the teenage kids run the place. Texas Roadhouse and or Longhorn Steakhouses beats the food here by far. I mean by far… The waiter was questionable. He was decent at service but was so fake trying to look high end that I felt more like he was a play actor at a theater. If you do your research on this place they have an enormous turnover in staff. It appears they can keep staff. They go through chefs and can’t keep kitchen staff. I wouldn’t eat here again if the dinner was complimentary…

5 /5 Jamey Royse: Delicious pork chop cooked to perfection. Melt in your mouth chops are uncommon. This one was delightful, seasoned perfectly, and well proportioned. This was complemented by friendly service with staff who effortlessly made everyone feel welcome and knew the menu intimately. Try the signature banana pudding for dessert. Great finish to the meal.

5 /5 Shelby: 1890 is a true hole-in-the-wall gem, and it’s almost unbelievable that it’s in Granbury—it could easily hold its own in Dallas and absolutely thrive. The food is outstanding and consistently excellent, and the service is top-notch. They have a small shop where you can buy dressings and spice rubs. It’s set in a charming, old-fashioned atmosphere, it’s a perfect spot for a date night, family dinner, or special occasion, as it’s guaranteed to meet expectations. I highly recommend the duck. We gladly make the hour-and-a-half drive whenever we get the chance—it’s just that good.

4 /5 Tristen Pool: A lovely establishment right off of the historic Granbury square. Our waitress was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere feels classy. However, for the premium price point I found the food slightly underwhelming. My mashed potatoes were notably dry and served in a rather modest portion. The mac and cheese lacked depth of flavor. If you come here for a special occasion I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all but it could be worth checking out other options depending on your circumstances.

5 /5 B L: Came here for my dads birthday and so glad we did. The food was incredible and the service and atmosphere were top notch! Can’t wait to come back!
