Gristmill River Restaurant & Bar

$$ Fodor's Choice

Dining at the Gristmill is as mandatory as shuffling your boots along the wood floors of Gruene Hall when visiting Gruene. On a sunny day, request outdoor seating on one of two decks overlooking the Guadalupe River, beneath Gruene's landmark water tower in a former cotton gin. No reservations, but you do get to listen to live music outdoors while you wait.
