Grizzelda's - Austin

The food here was terrible and expensive but our server was nice and attentive.

The service was great. The server was very attentive, and I never had to ask for anything. The food was good. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles. The spicy syrup is a great touch, and the waffles melt on your mouth. The decor was very charming but the noise levels were loud. I felt it was very pricey $50 per person), and the choices on the menu were limited. Portions were generous. I was surprised with a 3% wellness fee on the check. When I asked, I was told it was to help with insurance cost.? I 've never heard of that before. I was told it was optional and that it could be taken off. I enjoyed the experience but am not sure that I 'll go back.

Two of the four plate we were served food on had major chips on the rims. Time to replace those dishes! Server was great. Fish tacos was a huge serving and we are glad we shared them. Toastditos were excellent too.

My group of 5 came in for the Thursday free queso and $5 spicy margarita promotion and ordered dinner as well. We have dined here a few times over the years and it's always been decent but maybe just that? This time solidified that thought and quite honestly for the cost compared to the flavor of the food I likely won't return. We ordered: Queso which was free with the promotion and very tasty. The chips and salas that came with it were also fresh and tasty. Spicy margaritas which were a nice price of $5 with the promo but we didn't find them spicy and felt extra sweet honestly. Two of us split the Jacoby steak fajitas that were market price. We ordered ours medium rare and it came out medium well way over cooked and at a price of $50 was disappointing. We ate it anyways. We also added on shrimp which were just ok. Everything had a very heavy char on it and it tasted more burned than charred. Vegan fajitas, which came out with cheese on the spinach so it was not truly vegan. Chile con carne enchiladas this got the best reviews of the table. Lots of flavor but a very small dish for the price. Beef quesadillas which also received great reviews from the table. Size and price was appropriate on this item. Our server was very attentive and personable so great reviews in that department. We didn't want to burden him with our dissatisfaction with some of the meals so we didn't speak up about it, that is on us for not doing so. Overall, this location probably wouldn't be on my top list to come for fajitas anytime soon but we had an ok time and the group we were with and I'd maybe come back for apps and a drink at best.

Food was average. They need to do something about the acoustics in the dining area. Those foam sound panels taped to the ceiling aren't cutting it. Crazy loud and wasn't all that busy.
