holy grail pub

really is best bar food. 12/3/13 update: i have been back three times since my original review. i love this place. their menu will change. the dessert changes daily weekly. we had snicker's cheesecake a few weeks back. last night it was pumpkin cheesecake. both were awesome. the food is so good. recent orders have been brisket chili frito pie (great), gravy fries (yum), shepard's pie, brisket melt, and tomato soup w/ grilled cheese. we have yet to have anything where we said, "no thanks." the chef changes the menu and does a really good job.

original review: there is a sign on the wall that says best bar food 2012. it truly is. i finally asked why the bar food was so good. they said they had a real chef who prepares fresh ingredients each day. it shows. the place itself is a heavy wood bar with stool seating. there is a full menu of beer choices.

while i like the beer, we come for the food. the fried goatcheeseis creamy and wonderful. the fresh cut gravy fries are well done. there is not too much gravy that you cannot still pick at it with your fingers, but forks work best. the grilled steak shepard's pie is very good. two of us ordered it. the blackened fish taco received great reviews from one person in our group. the real highlight at holy grail is the burger. they are spectacular. the bluecheeseand caramelized pear burger is top notch. the pear was an unexpected pleasure. we have stolen the idea and now make pear burgers at home. to finish the night, we had the snicker's cheesecake. the snicker flavor came through in each bite and mixed with the creamcheese. very good.

we have yet to have anything at holy grail that is anything less than good. most is great!

i ordered their holy grail burger that is a "mix of fresh sirloin hand-ground on site, seasoned with spices and a touch of pork fat, grilled to order on a soft ciabata bun topped with your choice of any of the artisanal cheeses from ourcheeseboard selection". they say artisanal cheese… they must mean artisan cheese. never mind it all sounds good to me. thecheesefrom theircheeseboard was salemville blue, compte gryuere, sweet cream brie, paprika crusted smoked cheddar, herbed chevre goat cheese, bruder baslil, red dragon and finally a cahill porter chee

surprisingly good food. along with the great beer selection, the food is not your normal bar food. i have tried the monte cristo, the basil tomato soup with grilledcheeseas well as thecheeseplatter. everything that i have tried so far has been great. my boyfriend has also tried the pork sliders and really enjoyed them. each time i have gone in, the staff has been nice and the bartenders are knowledgeable. i'm not the biggest beer connoisseur so they helped me out! as for the atmosphere, its small but charming. you can definitely carry on a conversation with the people you came with as opposed to other pubs in frisco. if you like good beer and good food, try it out!

can't go wrong .... a great find in the north tier of the dfw metroplex. the staff are knowledgeable and friendly, with a head chef who makes "fat-kid food" to go with a great selection of distinctive beers. non-smoking inside so you can enjoy your food and drink without nicotine additives. can get loud in the evenings, especially on weekends, but lunch or brunch are great times to visit.

recommended ... everything on the menu. personal favorites are the rich and spicy tomato basil soup with chewy grilledcheesebites on the side, as well as the heart-attack inducing brisket melt and pulled pork melt. burgers are excellent, and the french fries, either with or without spicy brown gravy, are always crispy and flavorful with skin on and sea salt. get the staff recommendations for beer to go with each dish - there's always something new and unique to try.

brunch is a highlight on weekends - phenomenal fried chicken with habanero butter and a waffle, and the brisket hash with skillet potatoes is a hands-down winner. hard to beat a giant plate of breakfast with award-winning beer.

plan to spend a couple of hours if you can so that you can sample a few beers without incapacitating yourself. leave room for the coffee and doughnuts dessert - powdered-sugar coated doughnut holes and a cup of espresso mouse topped with whipped cream.

what a pleasant surprise! i walked in to the holy grail expecting a typical "pub" with generic pub food for the menu. not so! the food selections are, for the most part, typical pub items - fish and chips, meat loaf, burgers, etc. we ordered the hummus appetizer, the gravy fries, the meat loaf, and the monte cristi sandwich. all items were well prepared, and delicious! the monte christo (basically a toasted ham andcheesesandwich, deep fried, served with a blackberry jam, and dusted with powdered sugar) was like christmas in my mouth! i could see myself going here many times! first to sample the huge selection of bottled and draft beers, and again to nurse the hangover with the best pub food around!

awesome service ! had the manager stop by to tell us about new beers/cheeses not yet on the menu. try acheeseplate, then have them put your favorite on your burger ! great beer selection, nice and cold, and a nice atmosphere. get there early, can fill up quick especially on weekends. my wife and i will be back many times i'm sure !

awesome burgers. we tried the holy grail pub for the first time last week. the atmosphere is the standard dark-wood and high-backed booths you see in traditional pubs. the menu has some diverse and reasonably-priced items. i had the house burger with smoked cheddarcheeseand it was phenomenal. they mix ground pork in with the beef to make a super tender and flavorful burger. the fries were homemade and really good. our server recommended some beers that i didn't end up liking much (arrogant bastard was one) - plus they were expensive, around $6-8 for import drafts. for dessert we had a neat coffee-flavored cream with tiny homemade fried donuts - delicious! i'll definitely go back for the food and just drink a beer i'm more familiar with.
