Food was great, atmosphere is fantastic. Our server Maile was accurate, fast and so much fun. She was welcoming and made us... feel so comfortable. It was a cold day today and the fireplace gave a warm cozy feel. I would give 6 stars if I could for theexperience of eating here. We will be back!! Read more

The food, service and atmosphere are all great! The catfish is delicious. My son had the chili burger, I think the empty plate... in the picture speaks for itself on how good it is. Glad we decided to try this place. Read more

Had lunch today with a buddy. We recieved a warm welcome and fast service. We both ordered the enchiladas, I had shrimp and he... had the chicken. Both came with refried beans and rice. We also ordered the chips and salsa, and a side of guacamole. Ourserver was funny and friendly. The portions were large and we both agreed everything tasted fantastic. Read more

Gave this place a try today. Nice little place to go. Has that old small town vibes nice change from the big city feeling ever... where else. Historical area just adds to the feeling. Was very easy to get a table . Parking was easy but at times will bedifficult. Service was guick but not that great. Could be more friendly and show that they are happy having you as a customer. But I was alone and most treat you like you won't tip. But always do. Was early before live music was to start playing in theback of the restaurant. So what I had for my meal was the chili have been looking for some scratch made for some time. Thechili was delicious all meat made it even better. The chili does have a bite to it . The flavor was right on point. Thetexture was also right on point. MUST TRY THE CHILI ?????. I also ordered the onion rings they were really good a bit on thesmall side and portion was also light for the price. But over all the food was good and I will be back again for the chili andto also try other items on the menu. But as always this is my experience also my opinion. I highly recommend the chili the #1item to give a try over everything else. It's a chili parlor it's a must. Read more

Delicious! We were in town and wanted to try a highly rated eatery, Tolbert’s looked like it could fit the bill. And it... definitely did! We were seated immediately and drinks were promptly brought out. Our server was amazing btw. I ordered thefried chicken sliders with fries. Hubby ordered the chili tacos which he let me take a bite of, yum! My sliders were way betterthan I expected, chicken breading was cooked to perfection. I almost opted out of the chipotle Mayo but I’m so glad Ididn’t, it had a savory flavor with just a kick of spice. Loved it! I recommend giving them a try :) Read more

Tolbert's was on my Texas Bucket List that I almost skipped, but I'm SO glad I didn't. I wanted to go to one of the originals in... the Chili game, so when I saw it was 15 minutes from my hotel, I made it my trip's last dinner destination. The menu is muchmore than chili, but I was on a mission to sample both of their standard bowls. I got a cup of Red, sans chopped onions, and acup of Chile Verde. The Red has a really good mild base flavor that I could eat repeatedly, but also tweak at home for my ownfamily. If I make it back to Grapevine, I'll get the 5 alarm ???? The Chile Verde is similar to the kind I've had in El Paso -very brothy. The diced pork was very moist & the diced green chiles, tomatillos, and other items were flavorful. It would be agreat breakfast dish with some flout tortillas. The Queso Rojo was pretty darn good. It is their queso dip with a scoop of Redin it. The service was quick & efficient, the decor was pleasantly what I expected, and the people were really friendly. If youfind yourself near Grapevine, make Tolbert's one of your meal destinations.

This was a great experience and they were not kidding when they said their chili is award winning. They have live music and a... chill vibe. I would highly recommend that you try this place out for yourself. 2 people $30 (beer was ordered) Read more
