The Grill Father

🌶 If you can handle the heat, come get some of this TEXAS CHILI.

Forget what you know—authentic Texas chili is all about the meat, the chiles, and the slow simmer. No beans allowed!

Tender chunks of chuck roast bathed in a thick, fiery paste of roasted chili pods, cumin, and garlic.

Rich, smoky, and deeply beefy.

The Rule: If it has beans, it ain't Texas red!
Grab a bowl, top it with a little shredded cheddar or green onions, and dig in.

This is it everyone!
The Grill Father summer season has officially come to an end. We're sold out and wont be reopening tomorrow.

We are humbled by your patronage, your smiles and the friendships we made along the way. It has been our pleasure to serve you great, fresh food, from the heart.

We aren't going far...just 2.5 miles down the road. So visit when you need a burger, want to try something new, or just pop in to say HI! Stay tuned for details.

From the Trapanese family, thanks for coming and we'll see you soon.
