HISTORY
TEXAZ GRILL
est. 1985
When we opened in 1985 as Lone Star Steaks, we
promised to serve great food, from a real Texan, done one
meal at a time, at Phoenix's Original Texas Steak House.
We never imagined that anybody would be so arrogant as
to try and lock up the name for the great state of
Texas. We were wrong. A huge restaurant conglomerate
from Kansas has threatened to take us to court to force us
to quit using the words "Lone Star".
Well - it seems there just wasn't enough room in town for
two LONE STARS. We decided we'd rather keep on putting our
money into great food and great service than blow it on a
bunch of lawyers. So even though we were right and had a
legitimate claim to use our old name, we sure didn't want
to be confused with some slick, national chain with
almost 100 restaurants.
So - the old Lone Star became the TEXAZ GRILL at
16th Street and Bethany Home Road. And as for the new
carpetbaggers in town; yeah, well, real Texans know what's right.
We're the same folks with the same great food, service
and atmosphere. We take pride in our hometown place
and like seeing all of you come back again and again.
Thank you for your support and continued loyalty.

It was more than 20 years ago that Jim Mitchell and I opened
the doors here at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road.
Jim has now retired to a well-deserved life of golf and
travel, his two biggest loves right behind his family
and the TEXAZ Grill.
He still hangs around (whether we want him to or not),
giving advice (whether we want him to or not).
My business and personal relationship with
Jim has been one of the great joys of my life.
Still, next time he orders the Rib Eye steak,
he’d better have the cash!
Jim, may your flights be on time
and your golf balls in the middle of the fairway.
As we enter our 25th year in operation, all of us at TEXAZ Grill
want to thank you for your continued patronage and loyalty.
We are still committed to serving a quality product,
at reasonable prices, in a fun and comfortable
atmosphere with Texas friendly service.
Since our opening in 1985, we've guaranteed our product to
your satisfaction. If for some reason the food or service
does not meet your expectations, please tell us about
it immediately and we'll make it right.
If you just tell your friends and never come back,
then nobody is happy, and we’d hate that.
Let us know your suggestions, requests or comments. You can
e-mail us at
texaz@texazgrill.com,
or just
chat with us face to face when you're here.
