Save Room for the ‘Brownie Meltdown’ at Pecos Grilling Company in Tomball

August 9, 2016 by

The owners of Pecos Grilling Company, Dodge City sheriff Fred Sembera and executive chef Chuck Buenger, conceptualized Pecos as a top-quality steak and seafood restaurant with a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Take a walk through the dining room, and you’ll likely see parents and children enjoying a family meal, old-timers swapping stories over prime rib, and young singles enjoying themselves at the bar.

As for food, regulars recommend the fried asparagus appetizer followed by the pecan-grilled sirloin with fried shrimp. If you can take the heat, go for the jalapeno-topped Diablo Burger, or opt for something a little more comforting — perhaps an order of pot roast, "Mom's" meatloaf, or Grandma Glady's made-from-scratch chicken and dumplings. Whatever you do, try to leave room for dessert: the restaurant's brownie meltdown is the stuff of legends, and you can't go wrong with the rum-sauce-drizzled grilled banana!

Pecos Grilling Company opens at 11 a.m. daily. Free Wi-Fi is offered!
