Cliffs Grill

Cliff’s Grill is a well kept secret in Jacinto City. While it’s not technically in Jacinto City, just outside, you can walk there from JC. :) It’s in the same strip as the Marriott. And I am really surprised at how many people have never heard of it.
Granted, aside from the cool sign (that might make it look like a chain, when it’s not), this doesn’t look like might from the outside, and there’s sure not much parking in the front. But a tip, just drive around behind the hotel and there’s tons of parking back there.
This is a place for good ol Texas home made southern, uhm… Soul food? No… Not really soul food… But close. Killer chicken fried steaks. You will see a diverse crowd here (AA/​white/​hispanic) as the food is unique and quite wonderful. It’s wholesome. Not too salty, kinda like what your aunt would make on a really good day in the kitchen. :)
Keep this place in mind when in the area. I don’t see how anyone could be let down. It’s a favorite hangout of the Union Pacific Railroad train drivers and crew when they stay at the Marriott. It’s really large with many seating options from booths to tables, to a bar type stool counter. You can pick where ever you want to sit.
They serve large portions, so you will probably leave here with a to go box and be glad you took the rest home, cause this is really good. Prices are reasonable, family friendly, clean restrooms, nice southern drawl staff and excellent fresh iced tea.
