This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 5 pm–2 am. Note that it does not open on Monday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (956) 330-8582. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. More information is available on its website, thegremlintx.com.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 285 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded bars & pubs in McAllen.

McAllen is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and McAllen follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I love the food here. Drinks are hit or miss. Sake bomb is ok. Wings are good but 4 wings with a dribble of sauce , no fries or drink for 12.99 is Diabolical!!

A friend brought me here about a year ago, and it quickly became my favorite place. The atmosphere has always been nice, but sadly the quality of the food has gone downhill a lot. The portions used to be good, the food tasted great, and the prices felt worth it. My last visit was the worst experience. They took 35 minutes to bring my food, and when it finally arrived, I was literally served 4 fries and a sandwich that was honestly ridiculous for the price and quality. I felt very disappointed and disrespected as a customer. Of course I sent it back. Because this used to be one of my favorite places, I gave them many chances, but I definitely will not be coming back and I cannot recommend this place anymore.

This place is soooooo amazing. I came to watch my stepson play a show. The atmosphere was super cool and bar tenders were so friendly. Let me tell you the Lumpia is the best in the valley no doubt. I also got the combination fried rice and ommmmggg it was soo delicious. Our food literally came about 7 minafter we ordered and it was so fresh and delicious. I cannot wait to come back again for sure thank you so much for the amazing experience!!!! πŸ’•

It is such a great and welcoming environment, honestly. I've made some good friends here and the food is great! They serve brunch on occasion and their menu changes here and there. Live bands, DJs, open mics, and comedy nights, this place has got it all.

Came here to see glare and I was so impressed with everything! It’s a beautiful venue, lovely scenery, and the bathrooms were really clean. The bar had a variety of drinks, the bartenders were super polite, and the food was awesome. Ordered the chicken sandwich and fried Oreos and both came out in a timely manner! Everything was super delicious. There were little merch booths set up, I was able to be super close to the stage, and overall it was just a really great environment. Can’t wait to come back 🩷 I had a beautiful experience here

Tues 2/21/23 7pm- We normally don't visit downtown McAllen but decided to give this location a try. It's small inside but there is plenty of outdoor space outside. The location does give a bar type vibe; the inside is very charming. They had an event around 9-10 but unfortunately we couldn't stay. There is a small stage in the front and a bigger stage out back. It's a nice hangout spot.
