Grand Central Cafe - Kingsland

Drove almost 2 hours from San Antonio to dine at the house from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie. The food was delicious, the servers were friendly, but there were two issues. 1. Aside from some still photos hanging on the wall, there was no emphasis, information, or palpable enthusiasm for the main reason why anyone would visit a restaurant in the middle of nowhere.....its connection to the 1974 classic horror film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. We inquired about the house, the staff barely bothered to reply that it was, in fact, the house from the movie. No other information was offered. Nothing. No tour. No background information on how the house was selected. Nothing. How did this house come to be a restaurant? Nothing. 2. Reviewed the menu and asked about the chicken fried steak and mac-n-cheese. The staff assured us portions were large and delicious. We decided to order the Chicken Fried steak (comes with mashed potatoes), along with mac-n-cheese but were told entrees were not available until 4 PM (we arrived at 2 PM). Interestingly, the staff mentioned we could order the Chicken Fried Steak Eggs breakfast instead as that was still available. Indeed, more interesting was the fact that the sides....you guessed it.....mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese were also available to be served (available after noon). So the individual items from our original order (chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, mac-n-cheese) were available and could all be served, but only if they were also served with eggs and a biscuit??!!?? Settled for a fried chicken sandwich along with fries and mac-n-cheese. Food was delicious but the lack of emphasis on the historic setting and the inability to overcome the basic math of the 'entree ' dilemma pretty much soured the experience. Not worth the drive.

Food was good, granddaughter loved the Chainsaw man's house.

Food was delicious, service was great. They let you roam the house and take as many pics as you’d like.

Consistent good food drinks. Our family's favorites are the tacos, hot chicken, fettuccine alfredo burger

My family had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The server provided excellent service and our food arrived promptly. We also enjoyed watching the F1 race on TV in the bar area and looking at the pictures from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I ordered the migas tacos, my husband had steak and eggs, and my kids had pancakes and French toast.
