Manny G’s!

Bottom line, this is a dive bar. They may have good breakfasts, and I certainly enjoyed the appetizers we had when we were there the other night, but make no mistake about it… this is a bar. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. We have so many snooty bistros in this area, and sometimes it is nice to go somewhere sort of seedy and have a beer and some cheddar bacon waffle fries. The beer is cheap and the wait staff is nice.

We have been looking for a good bar for a while and this fits the bill. We have only been in the bar area, bc the restaurant is closed by the time we get there. Our favorite bartenders are
Rachel and Sandy. They are attentive, funny and make us feel welcome. We always make new friends. They have really reasonable prices. I wish they offered late night snacks, cuz I get the munchies!!!

Ever since the median went in, this restaurant has suffered. They have great cooks and really great home cooking. We have been going here for years and are sad that business has slowed down so much. They are definitely one of Keller’s gems. Great servers and owners. Would definitely recommend them. Ask for the pork chops and corn bread, my husband Loves them.

Love the breakfast here! Also love the bar and patio. The owners are great! Drinks are not over priced, they have darts, and a great jukebox

$ 5.50 for a mimosa? My Bloody Mary was mostly ice. The waiter asked us how we wanted our chilaquiles done. We had to just drink our drinks and scratch the order after that. Stay away from this place unless you like throwing money away.

Should have been a clue when no one was in the restaurant, only the bar. We had a large group. Several ordered the nachos. None appeared the same. Ours had chips, cheese, and very little meat, $ 9.75. They were horrible.
Waitress was friendly… service very slow.
Previous reviews must have been wriiten by the regulars at the bar

Above average breakfast meal. The long wait did it for me very slow service. The waitress is in a bad mood getting refill from her is like pulling teeth… Will be back have my finger cross not to get in her section…

Two new faces behind the bar… But where is Jessica? Maybe it was my imagination, but Manny’s had a weird vibe tonight. I know it’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve been in, but something is going on… Mannny wasn’t even there. On the plus side, oysters on the half-​shell were being served, which only adds to the weirdness. I hope I get to the bottom of this. Any help would be appreciated.

Manny’s has great food. I personally like the BLT if I am having a meal. We love the chips and queso for an appetizer. The queso is smooth, thick and creamy with just the right amount of spice, and the chips have a unique seasoning on top that is really tasty. I am not a big fan of spicy food, but I have heard great things about the Armadillo Eggs and the Kickers. They have great drink specials, and a Texas Hold ‘Em night every Wednesday that is a lot of fun.
But what really makes Manny’s special, is that on any given night of the week, you can pop into Manny’s, order a sandwich or a drink, and make a new friend. Or several. It’s just the kind of place this is. It’s truly a place where «everybody knows your name». Places like this are getting harder and harder to find, and you can’t beat the atmosphere here.

Went for breakfast and was unprepared for the giant pancake. Everything was tasty with a lot of subtle flavor, so taste before covering it with things like tabasco. It appears that it has been redone since some of these pictures were taken.

Finally went in & tried the place. Met Manny. Had a giant burger — well half — and it was quite tasty! Good, friendly service & the homemade chips are outstanding. Definitely will go back.

Hadn’t been here in a while. Previous experiences were just so-​so. Typical bar food, with a nice little bar. Friendly servers. Nice local feel. We tried again for dinner and were really impressed with the experience. Same friendly service and cozy bar. In fact we sat at the bar and were served there. We started with the serrano kickers. Bacon wrapped serrano peppers stuffed with cheese. $ 1.00 each. So good. Hot and smoky. I’m still trying to figure out how they got the cheese into such a tiny pepper.
We also ordered the Manny burger. It was their basic burger, but our waitress asked what we wanted on it, could add any and all ingredients for the same price. Which was $ 9.95, so we said «everything on it». This burger came out at least 6 inches tall. Served on Texas toast, which I skipped because it was really too flimsy for a burger this size and who eats Texas toast on such a huge burger? Or on any burger really? But i’m not ever very interested in the bread. The burger and toppings were great. The meat was cooked medium, good flavor, but it was a little dry. But it was covered in melted cheese, with bacon and mushrooms, so that helped. Bacon truly does make everything better. And their bacon was thick slices, perfectly fried. Have I said how much I love bacon? And that theirs is good?. OK — just making that clear. It came with their homemade chips which were so good. Salty and fried to a yummy nongreasy crunch. It was a little pricey for a burger, but it was a pretty generously sized burger. With the chips, we split it and still couldn’t finish. We drank the house pinot and cabernet, both of which were decent.
We will definitely be back. Hoping to catch them on a live music night.

I love going to Manny’s in the evenings for a dirty kettle one martini, fabulous armadillo eggs, and cajun meatloaf. Just be careful with the cajun meatloaf because it really is spicy (I like spicy.)
The patio is comfortable and cozy when you want to have a more intimate atmosphere. The friendly bar area is always full of locals. Something cool is going on almost every night — whether it is live music, or poker, or a party, wine tasting… you name it.

I have wanted to stop into Manny G’s since moving to Keller over two years ago. I finally obliged last night as I took a break from running errands to enjoy a cold beer and a burger for dinner.
I noticed as I read Unilocal reviews that a couple reviewers were really down on the burger. I asked the friendly bartender what she recommends — and she immediately replied «you have to try the burger, it is great!» Hence my dilemma. Multiple negative reviews versus a bartenders hearty recommendation — so I took a chance and ordered the burger.
First of all, with a $ 9.95 price tag for a 10-​oz patty, my expectations are very high. Manny offers an extensive list of condiments available at no extra charge — way cool. So mine came with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, pico de gallo, and lots of mustard. I was glad to have the mustard. The patty was virtually tasteless, as at least one reviewer noted. I did not note a poor texture as other reviews mentioned, but it was like eating a whole lot of nothing. I ordered mine with onion rings, which came out nicely prepared and served as the highlight of the meal.
Draft beer was nice and cold — $ 2.25 for a pint of Coors Light. Now that I mention it, THAT was the highlight of the meal.
So I give them two stars. It was OK, but the burger does not support the hefty price tag. The beer was cold and the service was very friendly. I might stop in again to wet my whistle, but I will take a pass on the menu next time.

I’ve been twice with similar results. Slightly above average service, good sandwiches and homemade chips. My wife swears by the salads and carrot cake. The highly touted Armadillo Eggs are good, but not worth $ 2 a pop. Quaint dining area. The gem is the tiny bar in the back. Has a very local feel, decent drink specials, 3 TVs, attentive bartender. Most likely will go back for the bar/​live music rather than a p.m. meal.

Breakfast was great! I had the Huevos Rancheros. Their biscuits are delicious, get one with a side of gravy. Bloody Mary’s are spicy. Don’t forget to try the Armadillo eggs.

Hello, cougar central!
No, but seriously. They have a sweet, cozy little full bar and good bar food. They had live music most of the times I’ve gone. I had lunch there once and it was good, but all the other times I’ve gone I was just boozin’.
It’s a great atmopshere and a nice break from the chain-​restaurant bars with no character.
Only downside — there are a lot of regulars and a couple of the times I’ve gone it seems like they don’t especially love the random new people coming in. I’ve always met nice people there though, and I will definitely go back many more times in the future. Heck, maybe I’ll be one of the regulars someday. :)

Manny Gs gets a big gold star for me. They found a niche market out in Keller, where locally owned breakfast establishments are a tough find.
They go all out on service and the food at breakfast will take over the table. Everything is home-​made like what your mom would make. Real eggs, real buscuits, and real jump up and slap yo mamma bacon. The Anita Jane is my favorite! I’d like to see a cinnamon roll or a waffle… but the pancakes are pretty good (sometimes I’ve got that morning sweet tooth!)

Great little diner… so expect diner type food… nothing fancy, just good stuff! So far everything we’ve ordered off the menu has been very good and fresh. The homemade chips are awesome! Large portions and creative sandwiches.
Great lunch place!

my husband and i attempted to get up early today to make it to manny g’s for breakfast. we’re night owls and for some reason i thought breakfast was served all day here. its not, breakfast ends at noon.
we were quickly greeted by a friendly waitress and seated. after learning that our unwillingness to get up before noon cost us sausage and eggs, we opt for some armadillo eggs, which are pickled jalapeño’s stuffed with cheese then stuffed inside breakfast sausage then stuffed in biscuit dough and baked. delicious! the waitress was nice enough to explain how it was made if we promised to come back for breakfast. oh yeah, we will.
to be honest, i was prompted to goto manny g’s not because i hear the breakfast is good, but because we saw the chef, shane, on hgtv’s property virgins. so we were all into the place because we love breakfast. then the waitress starts telling us how the place is haunted by the women who owned the original home that was converted to the restaurant. hhhmmm… breakfast better be good.
