With the move to the west end of the Hill Country Galleria near Whole Foods, the fine folks behind Chisos Grill saw the opportunity to change up the menu and setting of the southwestern flair restaurant.

“I felt like we needed to make a step up. The one thing I heard from guests is they wanted something to keep them from going to downtown on a regular basis. Between this and Cafe Blue, we give them a more trendy upscale environment without having to go to the Domain or South Congress,” said Chad Jones, Chisos Co-owner and Executive Chef.

Chad also said they were eyeing the old Zinger’s Grill location for a while. It wasn’t long after the announcement of Hill Country Galleria Improvements for 2016 that the offer was made to make room for H&M and move Chisos to a more centralized dining area.

Here’s the message from the Walker Family:

Simply put, we need your help.

Starting a new and independent restaurant is incredibly hard. It’s required years of hard work and sleepless nights (such as this one) to open our doors.

It’s also very expensive. Our family’s entire savings has gone into this effort. Everything.

And now, just weeks after opening, we’ve encountered a serious challenge.
