Tolbert's Restaurant
Frank X. Tolbert’s life-long passion for chili inspired him to write his world-famous book “A Bowl of Red” 50 years ago. He founded the Terlingua Championship Chili Cook-Off in 1967 and joined forces with son Frank 2 in 1976 to open the first Tolbert’s Restaurant in Dallas, with daughter Kathleen helping manage starting in 1977. Kathleen, with her husband Paul Ryan, selected Grapevine’s historic Main Street as the new home of Tolbert’s in 2006. The tradition continues as Tolbert’s Restaurant & Chili Parlor features classic southwestern cuisine with our signature Bowl of Red, using the same recipe developed by Frank X. Tolbert and his son. Enjoy your visit and tell your friends!
— Kathleen, Paul and Steven Ryan

“Probably the best chili ever. And if you don’t get donkey tails you’re not getting the full experience. TONS of beer options, good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff! We always go when we’re in town!”
- Jerica Q.
“Great Music, comfortable cozy venue. A place I would visit again with friends!”
- Jean T.C.
“We could hear the music from across the street. We stopped in for a beer and enjoyed the band. Ended up closing the place down!”
- William S.
”Great food and atmosphere, loved the food. Will be back!“
- Larry M.
“Tolbert’s chili parlor is unspeakably good. It’s goodness transcends the bounds of any language. You might die if you don’t go- at least die on the inside.”
- Mark E.
