Comfort food speaks to us on a soul level here in Texas, and one Watauga restaurant knows how to serve it up just right. Campfire Grill specializes in all the Southern classics that feel like a warm hug to your taste buds: chicken-fried steak, catfish, burgers, and the most decadent banana pudding you’ve ever eaten.

Located in an unassuming Watauga strip center, Campfire Grill encompasses some of our most cherished values here in Texas: good food and unconditional hospitality. With hot meals just like mom used to make, plus service that always puts the customer first, this homestyle restaurant will definitely become part of your regular rotation.
Upon stepping inside, you'll immediately notice the walk-up ordering counter. It might take you a while to decide given how massive the menu is, but the friendly staff will be ready when you are.
Gulf Coast favorites such as fried catfish, butterfly shrimp, and blackened tilapia are Lone Star State delicacies. Sides like hushpuppies, coleslaw, dirty rice, and slow-cooked green beans make for a well-rounded meal sure to satisfy all who enjoy it.
Southern comforts like chicken-fried steak smothered in cream gravy, mashed potatoes, and green beans take you back to Sunday supper at Grandma's house. Other Texas classics include BBQ meatloaf, pork chops, and blackened chicken.
In the All-American section of the menu, you'll find mouthwatering items like chicken tenders, a patty melt, and this chorizo burger. Topped with an over-easy egg, avocado ranch, ghost pepper cheese, and jalapenos, one bite and your taste buds will be on fire in the most delightful way possible.
Leaving without a bowl of Southern banana pudding might as well be a criminal offense. Thick as ice cream, this decadent treat tastes like heaven when it's scooped up on a Nilla wafer.
Before you head out, stop by the Giving Wall to really get a sense of how selfless the owners are. Just drop your receipt in your box of choice, and a portion of proceeds goes towards the listed charity.
