The Gristmill A one of a kind, true Texas experience, the Gristmill facility was once home to a cotton gin (circa 1878) and is considered one of the most iconic dining spots in Texas for nearly half a century. The original Gristmill building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1975 and the Gristmill River Restaurant opened its doors in 1977. Our menu items are made from scratch daily, right down to the soups, sauces and dressings. With its exceptional, tried-and-true menu, multi-level patios and 7 indoor dining rooms, the Gristmill is a quintessential spot that celebrates the regionality that makes Texas so special.
