Known first for their chili but now for their live music. Tolbert's has become the place to go on Friday and Saturday nights in Grapevine. They have some great cover bands and a great crowd. I used to only go there for lunch and didn't even know much about their weekend crowds until recently. At about 9 or 10pm on weekends, the band starts playing and people start dancing.

Basically it seems like they rotate through popular cover bands from a Tom Petty cover band to an Eagles cover band to a Beatles cover band, etc. It is lots of fun.

Amazing Chili. Tolberts is an great restaurant. Their chili is definitely what they are famous for even though I would argue some of their other food is equally as good. Their sour cream enchiladas, their tortilla soup, the nachos and their jalapeno poppers are some other favorites.

The restaurant really is the whole package, starting with the area. Historic Main Street in Grapevine is a really unique area. I would describe it as a true and natural town center as opposed to all of the fake generic town centers popping up around the metroplex. Definitely a lot of history on the street and in the buildings and Tolberts is a perfect fit for the type of restaurant to be located there. I could rave more about the restaurant, but I would just say try it and you will be impressed.

One of my new favorites- Awesome Chili. This place has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. The food is good, consistent quality, awesome chili, but I wouldn't say that is the reason to go there. The wait staff has been nice, courteous and responsive, but I wouldn't say that is the reason to go there either. I would say the reason to go to Tolbert?s is that it is different, an authentic feel in a city metro area in need of authenticity. The Historic Main Street Grapevine area has the great feel that the outdoor malls try to replicate but it has 100 years of history behind it.

I would definitely recommend Tolbert?s and I would recommend leaving a little time to window shop the unique area around it as well.

As far as recommendations, the chili is what they are most famous for, so give it a try. It goes really well with a cold beer.
