The Century Bar & Grill
What people are saying
In short, Fantastic place given you are in a small town in the vast Texas desert. With a few more details, Food was good, place had a nice vibe inside the hotel and clean and service was very nice and friendly. It would prob be 4 stars if it was in Austin but I’ll cut em slack and give them 5. Kudos to them giving good quality tasty food in such a remote location.
Fine, I’ll give it 5 stars. I’m super cheap and the Tater dish with green beans, mushroom, and cheese is pretty boss. It’s small for $16 (about the size of a large gumbo in NOLA valued at $10), but it’s quite tasty. The Caesar salad? Good, solid. The spinach and artichoke dip? Good but even better with their fried bread dipping chip thing. Boss, and quite unique of a design (instead of a chip or bowtie noodle). Their $45 steak? Excellent. In Houston or Dallas, it’s going to be $65 for the same steak with smooth, creamy mash potatoes and a subtle crunchy, well flavored green beans. Overall, pricey but it’s in a fancy hotel. Service at the bar table? Weak. The server is running the bar and the bar-tables so he couldn’t bounce from bar to our table very easily. Nice guy just mostly busy. So…5 star still b/c of the food.
Tried this place again, with better results, so I upgraded it to 5 stars. Second Visit This time we enjoyed a 3 dishes: the Ribeye with asparagus spears and garlic mashed potatoes, swordfish ceviche with chips, and a cup of split pea soup with ham and a toasted slice of garlic buttered sourdough bread. All three of these were wonderful full of flavor and delicious. Beware, the swordfish ceviche is a little on the spicy side and has a good kick to it. First Visit Nice place. Very historic with that south western feel. The hotel looks cool, but this is for The Century Bar & Grill. You have to go through the bar to get there, so be sure to ask around if you can't find it and everyone will help get you there. We had the fried pickles as an appetizer and they were so good, between my son and I, we forgot the usual picture. Main courses; fish and chips (really I had fries), then the beef and bratwurst burger with waffle cut sweet potato fries. The fish was thick cut with a crumb coating fried to perfection the regular fries were, we'll regular fries. The beef and bratwurst burger, was very unique, one patty was beef and a second patty from a smashed bratwurst. Together the flavor was amplified by the caramelized onions and Horseradish sauce. The waffle cut sweet potatoe fries were delicious. Our server was very friendly and perfectly timed her table appearances when we needed something or to check on food quality and preparation. We were there for an early dinner, so the bar was busier than the restaurant.
I had my wedding at The Holland Hotel this weekend where I had Century Bar and Grill cater my wedding dinner for a party of 27. Jon was exceptional at preparing all the food. We chose the Chicken Marsala, Chicken Alfredo, green beans, potatoes, salad, rolls, and the meat and cheese platter as an appetizer. I didn’t get many pictures due to me not having my phone on my wedding day, but all of my guests raved about how good the food was!! There was plenty of leftovers and I ate Alfredo for about three days afterwards. Jon made sure everything was perfect. I cannot recommend the Century Bar and Grill more for events!!!! Thank you so much to you and your staff for making my wedding weekend an absolute dream. PS we ate there again, and I ordered the ribeye that was delicious!! I attached a picture of my wedding plate and steak here.
The ambiance of the hotel and restaurant was beautiful for a first time visitor. The dinner we had was delicious and the visual presentation was on point. The only downside was the server. She may have had a bad night but everything was disappointing in that aspect. Thank you to the cook who took the empty plates off of our table to give us room.
