Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Bryan, TX

Carlos Santos Best bar in downtown Bryan. They have the most skilled bartenders here and cool music. Also, I like how inclusive and friendly the bar is. I ordered an “Ocean Water” and a Guinness. Both were tasty and refreshing. I like this bar for a launch night with friends or even colleagues. I absolutely love this place and I’ll be back. Highly recommend.

C Roger (TexanPlumber) We stopped in for lunch yesterday at 3rd on Main and were thoroughly impressed. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, and it was excellent — the vegetables were crisp and fresh, the bread was soft, light, and tasted freshly baked. Every bite had that made-from-scratch quality that’s hard to find these days. Great food, great flavor, and a comfortable local atmosphere. Definitely a 5-star experience!

Ada-Jean Moody My husband and I went in for lunch here. Ive only had their breakfast tacos (amazing btw) so this was a first for me. I ordered the lunch special (Enchilada plate on Wednesdays) and it was amazing! The texture of bothe Enchiladas was perfect and not dry as other places are. Their rice wasnt overly dry nor did it have surprising ingredients (which is a good thing). The staff was friendly, funny, fast and just wonderful! I highly recommend this amazing place

April Walker-Davis I recently had the absolute pleasure of attending a cocktail making class at La Bougainvillea Kitchen & Lounge (in Bryan-College Station, Texas), and it was truly a standout experience! This vibrant space, home to both a delightful Café & Bakery and a hub for local food talent and artisans, proved to be far more than just a venue. The class itself was both fun and incredibly informative. The owner and specialist leading the session took their time, patiently guiding us through each step of the cocktail creation process. Their dedication to explaining the nuances of mixology made learning genuinely enjoyable. As a bonus, we received fantastic cocktail recipe cards to take home, ensuring we can recreate our newfound skills, and enjoyed delicious food while we learned. What really struck me about La Boug BCS is its incredible versatility. Beyond amazing cooking classes and "Dining With The Chef" pop-ups, I can easily see this space being perfect for a multitude of group experiences – from book clubs and painting classes to intimate family cooking events or networking sessions. For any group visiting the area, I highly recommend adding a unique experience at La Boug BCS to your itinerary. They truly offer a platform for creating memorable experiences within a welcoming community atmosphere. Check it out and let me know what you think! From Texas with ❤️ -april

Landon Foltz The burger and tots were delicious. I got the 1/3 pound and it was a great size for me. The service was really fast, everyone was friendly, and I had a great time. I will definitely be back

Logan Langley Moms gone wild… but make it Topgolf. Took the mom squad to Topgolf and let me tell you—we came for the bonding and accidentally found our competitive streaks (and maybe a new obsession with the guacamole). The food? A+. The drinks? Flowing. The heat? Relentless. We were sweating like we just ran a 5K… but make it cute. It was approximately 112° and our swings were just as wild as our kids at bedtime. The crew was super sweet and didn’t even judge our chaotic energy, off-center swings, or the fact that we cheered like it was the Super Bowl every time someone hit the ball straight. Would 100% do again—just next time, we’re bringing portable fans and stronger SPF. Moms swing hard, okay?

ziegle9876 Home cooked food like it once was, plus excellent BBQ, a hidden gem in Bryan/College Station. Worth a detour, and a must if you stay in the area. Whole family was happy, and we came back several times during our stay in College Station.

Marcela Salazar these are considered by Marcela’s top ten ranking like The best authentic Mexican tacos in town!! They are Number 1 on my list that I just made up! . Be careful with the “pastor” it’s so spicy that you’ll think “ why is this so spicy though?!!!!!! “ while taking more bites and adding salsa to it, wondering if it’s going to be like that tomorrow morning when digestion does its job lol but you cannot , I repeat: You cannot skip pastor! you need to try that “me asusta pero me gusta” kind of taco! It’s so good! Unless you can’t handle spicy hot super spicy hot, then, you won’t be able to finish your first bite and you will be crying like a baby and blaming me for it… do it at your own risk… and in case of this situation happening just mix it with the other tacos and that should work … if that is still bad , then … why are you ordering Mexican food in the first place? Just kidding! If you don’t like spicy hot food then order bistek, fajita or any of the other delicious stuff they have. And remember that they not only have tacos, they have quesadillas , sopes and I don’t know how many more yummy stuff ! They also have sodas ! It’s not really for dining in, it’s a taco truck, but i mean, you can eat there if you want but you’ll be standing juggling with the food, the soda and plastic bad will felt away and your napkins and you’ll be filling them while chewing … so just take your order and go home! You should enjoy them sitting at home!! On weekends they give you charro beans while you wait ! They are also so so so so good!

Garo Gomez If you come, be sure to ask for Kay Love, she is so friendly and she will take great care of you!!!

Fiona Lockhart Shout out to Maddens Casual Gourmet at Phillips Event Center at the city golf course on Briarcreat. John was our server and he was excellent. The food was SO good and even the patio looking out over the golf course was wonderful. Don’t miss out on this local gem that is finally back.

Scott Bayer Delicious food very clean restaurant very nice people. I have the chicken and my wife had the meatloaf and we would both recommend him. Thank you! P.S.amazing peach cobbler

Karen Lashbrook Great service. Great food. The cucumber jalepeno margarita was really good, just the right amount of spice. The pretzel with cheese is huge, soft and tasty. Our party also had the bacon bleu burger that was coooked to perfection, with a soft bun and lots of bleu cheese crumbles. The bacon ranch chicken wrap is enormous as well as the triple deck club sandwich. You will definitely not go home hungry. We had lots of leftovers to take home.

Evan R Stopped in for a solo early dinner while I’m in town for a couple days, came for the fried pickles and loved them! The Reuben was also delicious, just what I wanted. I also got gifted some deviled eggs to try from their upcoming brunch menu that starts January first and those were amazing as well!

M G Schnitzel is apparently their specialty. With a full menu page dedicated to schnitzels, they have many different style options, each with pork, chicken, or veal. Their hot (warm) German potato salad was also very good and nothing like American potato salad. Dont expect a fast meal, at least during the summer off-season. I would expect more waitstaff and faster service when Texas A&M is in session. Either way, I strongly recommend the food. And of course, dont forget the on-draft beer selection.

Marc Cooper I actually loved the food from here. The brisket was great. I also really loved the creamed corn and macaroni! I personally also loved the sauce. A handful of people told me this was the best BBQ in town and now I see why.
