holy grail pub

great pub. one of the best pubs in the dfw metroplex. great, knowledgeable service. top notch beerselectionand food is very tasty.

holy grail is a trendy bar trying to disquise itself as a dive bar. this isn't a bad thing though in a sick way i like the deception. it's dark, small and crowded making it feel divey but the beerselectionis on par with the best. i went add with the beer options, i couldn't pick for the longest time and eventually discussed my options with waiter and decided upon an ipa. besides the beer they offer a food menu as well that also is disguised as divey but turns out as another falsity because the food is actually pretty good. i ordered the bacon quacamole burger and it was cooked medium with plenty of juice and flavor. a popular place for a reason, kudos holy grail.

brew ha. looking for great food and beer to match, this is the place. greatselectionof beers and super food to to go with what ever style of brew you like. the braised pork sliders make my day. the food is creative, not just a bar grill. i enjoy stouts and there are several to choose from. if you enjoy discussing craft beers the staff has plenty of cool trivia and facts. the atmosphere is kicked back, and what a pub should feel like. so if you can't be in durango colorado and your stuck in texas this is the place for you. i dare say even worth the drive to plano.

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 greatselectionof 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 grilled cheese bites 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.

fledgling gastropub. beerselectionis commendable and honor all types of tastes.
old rasputin stout was an enjoyable experience, velvet dark chocolate and wonderful. small glass, but it will ast you.
jack daniels single barrel is always good, and it was a hefty portion and well iced.
food was good (not great). i only say not great however because it could be great. the ingredients were fresh and that is the best way to start. the salad was lovely, but a common mistake was made, too much dressing for too little salad. but the flavor combinations were spot on, presentation nice and the larger chunks of ham a nice savory counterbalance to the bibb lettuce. these were no bacon bits!
the pork belly sliders were good and nicely presented, but the aoli was overpowering the taste of the pork. the pimentos seemed superfluous and only for color, though a nice pickled item can really bring out a great counter to pork belly. also, they were overly greasy, though this is minor, as it is hard to perfect pork belly without this. the cuts could have been better and perhaps thinner, but as a whole it was a very tasty dish.
lettuce wraps were also nice, but left no fire or lingering enjoyable taste, they were eatin and gone with a whisper.

i really enjoy the atmosphere, its clean, perfectly lit for a nice pub, aesthetically pleasing and wednesday night trivia is always a hoot.

i would definitely recommend this to others and say that with a small bit of work they could be an excellent gastropub.

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 and cheese sandwich, 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 hugeselectionof bottled and draft beers, and again to nurse the hangover with the best pub food around!

i tried another "pub" tonight and realize why i keep coming back to the holy grail. the service is great. the girls are cute. the servers and bar staff are very knowledgeable. they have the best beerselectionin the area with new seasonal stuff available all of the time. and by the way, the food is outstanding. best burgers in plano/frisco area. after tonight, i've sworn off all other "pubs" in the area and will only go to the holy grail. it's simply the best.

great place for drinks!. to be honest, when i went here last week i didn't have any of their food. we were looking for a place where a few friends could sit and talk in an environment where it is not very loud, and have a few beers. this was the perfect place for it. the service was excellent, regardless of the fact that it was a pretty busy friday night. the noise level never got loud enough to where it was difficult to hear my friends talk, which is a nice change from the typical bar/pub. the beerselectionwas fantastic, and it was a cool environment. would definitely recommend the place for the beer and atmosphere. you will have to consult some of the other reviews to find out about the food they serve.

great place! atmosphere is what you would expect from a pub. outstanding and well-presentedselectionof beers. i had the pork and beans - an excellent choice. fish and chips is also very good. wait staff is great. very helpful and knowledgeable on both the food and beer. highly recommended.
