The Powerplant Texas Grill

Unique! My brother and I sat outside and looked at the Guadalupe River that once powered the plant. Some of the original massive machinery is still inside the restaurant. Food was good! We had the Frog Dip as an appetizer, because, well, Frog Dip?! And we each got a Rueben sandwich (excellent!), him with serious onion rings and me with homemade chips. Service was good too. And a big turtle sunbathed on a log in the water ehile we ste. Definitely an altogether cool experience! Price was worth the delicious lunch. Parking was...interesting, but not difficult. Better signage from road would have been helpful.

Great food with even better ambiance. Had the chicken fried chicken with the optional queso and pico topping, as well as mashed potatoes and poblano cream corn which were all excellent. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was still juicy with a nice amount of crispiness which was complemented nicely by the queso. The cream corn was also a nice addition with a little twist on a typical classic. Weather and views were excellent for sitting outside and enjoying the riverfront in a cool historic setting.

Wow! What cool spot to visit for a beverage and bite. We stopped in by chance and it was an absolute WIN! Everything from the decor, patio view to the amazing food and especially the service. Let me start by saying Brittany was our server and she was terrific, she's definitely an asset to the establishment. It's not her first rodeo for sure, she was attentive and intuitive of our needs. Brittany thank you again!! Drinks were immediately brought to the table along with our appetizer We highly recommend the frog dip and chips it was delicious. I decided on the powerhouse burger with grilled jalapeños and onions and a side of onion rings I'm not even kidding when I say it was probably one of the best burgers I've had, top five for sure. The onion rings were perfectly crispy, be sure to get the chipotle ranch for dipping My wife ate the chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, another winner of her plate was the poblano cream corn for sure Everything was definitely priced reasonably So if you made it this far into the review you should 100% give them a try, be sure to sit in Britney's section tell her that Jimmy and Maura sent you. She won't have any idea who you're talking about but if enough people do it I'm sure she'll laugh and that's a good thing

Unique one of a kind setting that differentiates this dining experience. Relaxed setting - indoor & outdoor seating. Our outdoor seating overlooked the Guadalupe. The people were great & friendly. Food was served quickly. Drinks were A+ Highly recommended!

View is beautiful and the food and service were fantastic! I honestly one of the best bison burgers I have tasted in a while. Fries are an upcharge and good but the burger definitely made it. Drinks were very good and well priced. Will be back!

We stumbled upon this place when we were traveling from San Antonio to Houston. The view is enticing, and the food is great. There's an option to sit at the covered patio overlooking the river. This is a family-kid friendly place. Very attentive staff. Overall, we are pleased with our meals and we enjoyed our lunch.

My wife and I had a great experience at Power Plant Texas Bar & Grill. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating they even cut and plated our chicken fried steak into two portions when we mentioned we were sharing. That level of service really stood out. The views of the Guadalupe River while dining were beautiful, and it was a treat to experience a piece of Seguin history in such a unique setting. The food? Texas-sized for sure. Appetizers could easily feed four, and everything we tried was full of flavor. If you’re in or around Seguin, this spot is a must visit. Great food, generous portions, amazing service, and unbeatable views.

Location is amazing with the view of the Guadalupe River and the rustic charm of the historic building. The interior has a great feel with the mix of old architecture and some funky decor. Menu has plenty to offer and I was very surprised with the high quality flavor and feel of every item. Ordered onion rings as an appetizer and they were cooked to perfection and the chipotle flavored dipping sauce was vibrant and creamy. Recommend the meatloaf as well with the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Every part of the plate was made hot and fresh. Seasonings were done amazingly and I loved every bite. I cannot recommend coming by here enough, it’s worth the drive and definitely worth the visit.

The food was great, service was phenomenal. Would definitely make the drive again from SA.

Super cool atmosphere and excellent food. Great service as well. Everyone was pleased with their food.

I recently visited Seguin Power Plant and I was super impressed with the venue itself. As a restored and converted hydroelectric plant, they've done an amazing job of preserving the historical significance of the building. The industrial, factory feel has been beautifully incorporated into the restaurant's design, and it really pays homage to its past. Plus, with its view overlooking the river, the location is hard to beat -- perfect for a relaxing evening out! That said, I do recommend being prepared for parking. There isn't a ton of parking right in front, so if you're coming on a busier night, you might have to park in the overflow lot. It's a short walk back to the restaurant and the lighting is a bit limited. Not a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind. Now, onto the food. I ordered the fried chicken sliders, and they were... decent. Not mind-blowing, but good. The honey chipotle sauce was a bit sweeter than I would've liked, but dipping them in ranch helped balance it out. Overall, a solid choice, but nothing I'd rush back for. In the end, Seguin Power Plant is definitely worth checking out for the unique atmosphere, great views, and history. It's a cool spot to visit if you're in the area!

Solid food offerings with an unbeatable view make this a good destination in Seguin. The view off the terrace is something to behold. Beyond that the food is your standard Southern comfort fare. Well prepared and tasty with some hits and misses. The key is to stick to the standards. The chicken wings were delicious as was the BLT. The jalapeno poppers were so-so. Flavor was mild but the interior ingredients were mushy which made the overall taste average at best. Service was good and friendly.

The onion rings were amazing, the view is beautiful and it's a fun place to eat. I had the Cobb salad which was good. It needed more bacon and the blue cheese dressing was runny but overall a great salad. My friend had the burger and enjoyed it.

The atmosphere is great. The landscape is breathtaking. The service was good. The food was okay.

We stopped by for a quick night and enjoyed the happy hour bites and drinks. The hand battered onion rings were amazing. As well as the poppers and wings. When in Seguin, come and enjoy this historic location, views and river!

This place was the best part of my trip to Seguin, TX. Wow, during fall with a nice breeze, this place makes the perfect spot for dinner or brunch! What a cool and unique spot with amazing staff, interior, and exterior. A family with a dog sat next to us and the staff placed a water bowl for the dog & refilled a couple times.

What a complete disappointment. This former power plant boasts such amazing scenery with a natural water feature and I just wish the owners would use that more to their benefit. What an amazing attraction this could be not just for locals or folks passing through. It could be a true destination spot. The food tasted like it came directly from the food supply vendor without much thought put into it. Why not cook and add great flavors? Why not have themed meals or drinks to play off the beautiful and natural surroundings? I had a strawberry margarita that tasted like warm Kool-Aid with a couple ice cubes tossed in. The queso tasted like it was poured straight from an industrial sized can. Our server was a young and sweet kid; I can't help but think how much more he could get in tips with a revamp that would bring more guests. The decor is lacking as well; really need to play up that whole power plant vibe.

I grew up in Seguin and visit regularly. This wasn't my first visit to The Power Plant but it has been a few years since I was last here. The food is good and the waitstaff were very friendly! I'm currently working with the event coordinator, Veronica, to plan a party here later in the year. The real attraction of The Power Plant is the scenic, historic setting. It is beautiful! I love that this special place is right in the heart of my hometown. Definitely worth a visit.

We had fun here on a Sunday afternoon. We ate on the patio & the view was nice. The building is historic & pretty cool & right on a park (I was a little disappointed that the soil was so compacted in the park, stressing the trees & that a really nice bald cypress is struggling with an infestation of grapevine that is blocking photosynthesis). The food was pretty good. I really wanted a veggie burger with fries, but they didn't have a veggie burger. I had the mahi mahi instead. It's wasn't the best mahi I ever had, but it was good. The rice & veggies were good sides. The bathrooms were clean. There was no wait at 2pm. It's definitely worth a stop & we would come back if we were in the neighborhood.

Beautiful views! If you are able sit at the outside tables. The waitstaff was super nice here and paid attention to the food allergies in our party. The Brussels sprouts and stuffed brisket peppers were amazing. The buffalo chicken sandwich was messy, spicy, and tasty. The cole slaw had a good flavor, but was very wet.

Great ambience. Lots of energy with staff looking and happy. Good home style food. Place is huge. Many rooms. Patio was perfect with this 78 degree weather. Will be back.

This restaurant has a fantastic setting and I suspect it would be a fun place to listen to some music. As the name implies, it's located in an old power plant overhanging the river. A+ on the location. Service was okay! Pretty prompt and friendly enough. No real complaints. The food was just okay. The salmon was overcooked and a bit bland. I suspect I would have been better off trying the burger. Maybe I will on the next visit.

Power Plant Restaurant Seguin Texas. I had the Pecan Encrusted Chicken, with sweet potato fries and it was awesome! http://LoneStarRider.tv http://RidingForACure.com #AmericanDiabetesAssociation #RidingForACure  #iphone14 #rexcovingtonphotography  #lonestarrider #connectedforlife #ManyRoadsOnePurpose #seguintexas #powerplantrestaurant

Great find on a road trip! Found this spot on yelp as we were driving home and am very happy we went off the beaten path. The location was super cool (next time we will come during the day so we can see the water) and the food was delish. My kids had the mini corn dogs and catfish- but their favorite was the chips and queso (mom and dad approved too). We had the crispy Brussels to start and that balsamic sauce they are soaked in was KILLER good. We were imagining all the ways we could cook with it! I had the shrimp rissotto which was very good (white wine cream sauce ) and my husband had the burger and house made chips (he said his was very good). Would definitely come here again (and the kids agree). FYI- check the website for the more up to date menu- there was more on there than what yelp showed.

My friend and I were looking forward to coming and eating here, the host was nice and sat us quickly but the server (some guy with glasses) put our order in and that was about it. Only gave my friend a second beer and never checked on us, I had to go to the bar to get my soda refilled because he was nowhere to be found. When we did see him he was huddled with the other servers by the bar talking and hanging out. The food was good but the service was very lackluster and disappointing, we've both worked in the restaurant and service industry and know this is not how you do things.

We went a few weeks ago and our server and food were really good. It has under 4 and that will normally deter me from going to a restaurant. I'm happy I went. I don't understand the bad reviews. The onion rings had great flavor, and the homemade ranch and chipotle ranch was the bomb! My only complaint would be that the onion rings are way too big for my liking. So overall it was great and I'm happy to see water in the river!

This is a must for great food and views. Tucked in Seguin, this old power plant has the best views of the Guadalupe river. We sat in a back area featuring windows all around and a bunch of the old machinery in the space. So unique and fun for groups. The food was very good, the star of the show was definitely the risotto. Super creamy and flavorful, with large shrimp. The steak of the day was cooked perfectly and the sides were very delicious. I love the combination of the home style cooking and the unique venue. When you're all done don't forget to take some beautiful pictures by the water. Will definitely be back to celebrate again with family!

A lovely place to have a meal. Very unique place as it's built inside an old hydroelectric power generation station. The views are amazing and very un-Texas like! Food isn't bad either. We had a burger, a New York strip and a grilled Mahi-Mahi. The burger was excellent, and the steak and fish were average. Our waitress was excellent and was right on top with the service. Recommended and we will return one day if we are nearby.

Super cool building, with an amazing view and such a fun piece of Seguin history. Do yourself a favor and just go for Appetizers. I wish they had a Small/Large option on all apps instead of just dips because the portions are HUGE. Thursdays 6-8PM is Karaoke night so that was a bit of fun. However the staff was slow and inattentive. We got our food before silverware, had to ask for napkins, and water refills, I would understand if it was a busy night - but there wasn't many so I didn't really understand the service. The Fried mushrooms were fresh and delicious, however the ranch dip was super runny and unseasoned like it had been watered down. Chips & Queso - super yummy no complaints. Fried Catfish platter - fish's better was too thick, fries were good, hushpuppies weren't fully finished on the inside, tarter sauce was good. Chicken Fried steak - Broccoli was not fresh, potatoes were a bit gummy but seasoned well, steak itself was well flavored but needed more rest time on a rack or paper towel since it fell apart, needed more crisp! I really want to love this place so we'll try again in a couple weeks and update our review!

What is this place suppose to be; bar, restaurant, hangout, need den? Yes!! Location is the old power plant and has been mostly gutted/remodeled, but the original walls, ceiling and a few turn-of-the-center machines are in-place. Very cool atmosphere. The additional of Star Wars and other various geek/Americana/man cave decor keeps it fun. Summer is a bummer for the outdoor seating areas, due to heat, but the views and sounds of the water rushing by and a neat trade-off. Food is solid, nothing unique but my wife and I enjoyed it. Staff is pleasant. Wait can be +45mins on the weekend.

Excellent service & food. Enjoyed the beautiful view of the river from the exterior deck. Great drinks.

I highly recommend a visit to this historic destination. It's such a beautiful location and so many cool things to see inside. Very family friendly and great food made to order at a reasonable price.

Always great food and service. I love the onion rings and mushrooms. The risotto with shrimp is also incredible

A bit off the I 10 corridor, the food was worth the diverted route. Freshly made offerings that were filling and delicious. Hubby had the meatloaf plate and I had the bison burger (minus the bun). The crispiness of the homemade chips were a wonderful side to the juiciest burger I have eaten in a while. The big engines and turbine were a great additional attraction for my mechanical engineer newly retired hubby. Service was attentive. If it hadn't been so warm when we were there, I would have loved to set on the screened patio and listened to the water flow throughout our meal. Just a not to go back this fall when weather is more accommodating.

stopped in on Sunday afternoon for quick bite on my drive back to San Antonio from Galveston. decided on the cheeseburger meal. the burger was simply fantastic with that fresh off the charcoal grill taste....and service is always friendly. FYI can get loud with large tables.

Walked in and was seated right away. Sat for 10 minutes and nobody acknowledged us so we walked out.

This restaurant has a unique location in an old power plant building. The atmosphere is nice, with a large covered outdoor seating area and a nice river view. We had a group of 17 people, and the service was good for such a large group (though we did have to ask for tea refills). Some of the favorite dishes ordered by the group were pecan crusted chicken, salmon with mango salsa, stuffed mushrooms and salads. The house-made chips were also a hit. Those of us who ordered meatloaf did not feel it lived up to the server's recommendation - we agreed we would go with something else on our next trip.

First of all, the building is gorgeous and the outside view is just as stunning. It was pretty busy, but we only had a 10 minute wait. Decided to meet up with my parents here for Sunday lunch! We were all having FOMO every time a server holding appetizers walked by and we decided next time we stop by, we're just going to get a ton of apps to share! I got the pecan crusted chicken with green beans and mixed veggies. Absolutely delicious, the chicken was cooked perfectly and super moist. I could eat it multiple times a week and be content. Green beans were good, mixed veggies were just meh. My mom got the risotto and was blown away, perfectly creamy and cheesy- it almost tasted like a fancy Mac and cheese in the best way possible. Dad had the Cajun pasta and loved it as well, only wishing it was a bit spicier. (Keep in mind he has basically burned his tastebuds off at this point with his love of hot sauce- so take that with a grain of salt) Overall awesome experience and we can't wait to go back and try more! ( especially the apps.) Oh and if the weather is nice, sit outside! Tons of fans and it's not too hot with a lovely view.

The Power Plant: Potential Customets, staff and Owner, Overall I like this place hence the rating :0) The food was good. The regular burger was good. I asked for medium well, it came out black very well done. Others in my group had Spaghetti. Meh Chicken fried chicken with queso - Wow The server was nice :0) The Service to get food out was not as expected. Arrived during day, 1 hour after it opened, the food had to be made to order bc it took Greater Than 45 minutes to get our food (dont come, hungry and eat an appetizer to help). The ambiance was wonderful, with nice fall weather and background was great. I know it sort of outdoorsy in some areas... There was even dust and cobwebs in the corners not to mention a palmetto bug on his back waving at you aah remains of Halloween... The payment was reasonable. Using Cash vs. Card is not explained just asked. $2 - $3 difference is not a lot, however the perception maybe is. Did you know using credit instead of cash usually increases sales around 33% more using credit cards? I know the TV personality that stopped by this establishment, nice picture. I would go back. I'm not a restaurantour, however, I'm a consumer. I want you to do better than ever and shared my review with you all. Happy Eating and Best Dishes to you!

We've been waiting to come visit after seeing this place on The DayTripper and We are so glad we did! We day trip anyway and it was a great drive. A wonderful place to have a meal in a scenic location. The kids and "adults" loved looking at the turbine, generator controls and other left over power plant decor. Plus the other things on the walls inside and on the patio. If it is pleasant, definitely snag a table on the patio. The food was tasty, we had the meatloaf plate, the bison burger and 2 kids meals (chicken tenders and mini corn dogs). Let's just say only crumbs were left by all diners... Side note the ladies rest room was clean and nicely decorated, I would stop in again. Overall a great adventure for a lunch date, family meal, taking a turn at the mic on karaoke night or some drinks at the bar. We will definitely stop in aga

The views were great! We were seated in the outside building facing the water with old machinery. Plentiful parking. Food was ok. Menu is very limited! Fried mushrooms were huge, however the brussel sprouts could have been cooked longer. I ordered the salmon and it was ok, mixed veggies were bland. Nothing amazing. Chicken fried steak was large, mac and cheese was tasty, poblano corn - people were not a fan. In addition, one of the people in our party found a fairly large piece of plastic in their mashed potatoes. We were the first party of the day too. Upon checking out, the waitress put the wrong items on the check resulting in mixed split checks. Service was subpar. Wouldn't recommend unless you enjoy good views and mid food.

Slow service. Food was less than ideal. Soggy leftover coleslaw. Stale fries. Hard crust fish with soggy inside. Windows dirty. Very loud.

I'm only giving this place a one star due to the cool scenery of the river. The service was sub par by the servers not knowing their own short menu. Out of the three dishes we ordered 2 of them were cold. Lastly, the upkeep and cleanliness of almost any surface area was below standard for any restaurant. Yeah, she doesn't know how to control her bodyweight

Went on a Friday night, it was fairly busy, and they had live music. The server was really friendly. Ordered the burger with bacon and jalapeños, it was delicious. It had really good consistency/firmness and seasoning. They also had a really good cocktail menu, I tried the watermelon, basil, martini, as someone who is obsessed with martinis - I loved it. The design and finish out of the building is very pretty as well. Would definitely visit again!

The atmosphere in this restaurant is ELECTRIC! Service & food are on point too! I made a 630pm reservation for 7. I saw they have Karaoke & live music nights. Lots of preserved history at this restaurant!

The location is awesome! The quirky decor on the inside makes it a fun ambiance to come to for an afternoon lunch or a fun Friday night out. The service was great and the servers were nice and attentive to our table. The portions are big and the quality of food was good. The food was good but not the best I have ever had. I had the crispy buffalo chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries are tossed in cinnamon sugar which makes them very sweet (nothing wrong with it, just not something I am used to). If you want to take someone from out of town to a restaurant this is the place. I posted a picture on the bottom of the location and part of the menu. I will be returning because it is such a cool spot to come and visit and I would be interested in trying their happy hour for drinks.

OH MY GOD! BEST STEAK EVER! Go here guys it is worth your while. The texture was there, the flavor was there, I'd give it a 10/10. Don't even get me started on the creamed corn. If heaven had a flavor, it would be the creamed corn. Also, the mashed potatoes were amazing. Props to the chef. The one who makes the steaks.

The hubs and I split a lunch. We got a fried chicken sliders meal. Sorry for the sloppy photo. I forgot to take a pic before we dug in. Anyway, while there was plenty of food for us to split (3 sliders and we upgraded to onion rings) but we really had to search for taste in both the sliders and the O.R.'s. I kept salting it in an effort to, well, taste it. The sliders def had heat from the chipotle pepper. That was fine. We won't get this plate again. They had a glitch with their computer so we waited 20 minutes to get our bill. The server had a flat personality. He's maybe not in the right kinda job. The ambiance is fun. It's iffy that we'll go back to the Power Plant Texas Grill.

The food quality was unacceptable, being cold and severely lacking in flavor. Furthermore, the customer service was inadequate, with our waitress seemingly more engaged with her phone than attending to our needs. The river was a nice view but other that this place has fell off

Came here with Courtney and Caleb (& Saylor) for a wonderful dinner. They have bison burgers and a bunch of old engines and the view is amazing

Had a short wait to be seated. Once seated service was quick and food was spot on. Great location in an old Power Plant. Will be back! Also great view in an old power station.

What a cool restaurant! Great place to eat, comfortable and funky decor. Kept a lot of history in this building. Great menu, well prepared food. App of chips with wueso/quac/salsa very good. A bit pricy, but really enjoyed our visit. Says dog friendly and sometimes has live music too. Recommend!

Best Mexican Restaurant I've ever been to. I had the chicken sliders. Highly recommend. Shout out to Brayan C.

My husband, myself, and our 2 sons ate here. The food wasn't good but the real dam engine and the view were great! Service was good. I had the brussel sprouts but they were covered in a bbq type sauce that took away any health benefits and left me burping that day and the next. My family had the mac n cheese, fries, and a burger. None of it was eaten more than a few bites as they didn't like it. The river/creek view is pretty. I'd recommend going here if you are wanting a view or to see the engine but if you want tasty food then I'd skip.

Was a very pleasant place to eat. Sat on the deck outside, listening to the rushing water from the dam. Ordered fried mushrooms, could have been a meal in itself. I had fried catfish, partner had bison burger. All meal were very good and well worth it. Thank you for great service as well. Definately coming back again.

I have been wanting to try this place for a few years now and we driving nearby and had a chance to go. The patio was pretty empty and we got a great seat right by the river. Beautiful view and a gentleman playing the guitar and singing outside. Our only comment is my daughter ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich. She orders this item any time she sees this on a menu or Buffalo wings. The sauce was so incredibly hot it was inedible and we all tried it. I still believe it was coated in Habernero sauce and I know a local Texas brand is trendy right now. The waitress did check and they said it was a new supplier. She offered to replace it or take it off the check. We are not big on conflict, and in the end got neither. The chicken fried chicken was really good and the salad looked really fresh. Very peaceful and a great table. They need to check that suace recipe. I have done a lot of hot wing challenges that were not that spicy.

Amazing Mexican restaurant! Shoutout to Brayan C. best waiter fr. Food was amazing and so was the ambiance.
