Tumbleweed Southwest Grill

We ordered two different salads. The mesquite grilled chicken was not actually grilled. It was cooked, covered in sugary b-b-cue sauce and dumped onto a pile of shredded iceburg lettuce. There were about 5 black beans, three pieces of corn and a couple of chips on it. All yours for about $10. Horrible... Pros: Nice enough service Cons: Horrible food. more

I think the title says it all. Their margaritas are awesome. Go on Fridays and they are pretty cheap and absolutely delicious! I think the fruit flavors other than the original cost $0.50 more, but be careful with blended ones, some are too sweet. The service is decent and fairly fast. The restaurant smelled like feet the two times I have been there. Not sure if it was cheese or actual feet... I hope it was cheese. Either way, it doesn't smell pleasant and I hope they do something about it since I plan on going back for those margaritas. Pros: Good margaritas & happy hour deals on them Cons: funky smell, salty overpriced poor quality food more

It had been a few years since I had risked a trip to Tumbleweed. Always the hopeful sort, I thought perhaps Tumbleweed had done something to improve their offerings, especially considering the competition they have now, with all the new chains springing up everywhere. Turns out I was wrong. First, I was served the most atrociously bad ""frozen"" margarita I have ever had, anywhere. The consistency was only what I can describe as ""suds"" - it was a lot like quaffing a glass of tasteless foam. Why in the world does a restaurant serve a drink like that, and to keep serving it - I remembered that it was the same way years ago at Tumbleweed; at least they are consistent. The food at Tumbleweed can only be described as boring, boring, boring. They really can't decide if they are Tex-Mex, or American, or what, but they aren't very good at it, whatever it is. Chips were chewy and tasteless and salsa is awful, tastes like something right out of a can, tomato paste supreme. Service was prompt, but surly. Once I get a dose of surly-waiter, it's usually a long time before I come back. My advice is stay away, there are so many other great choices for Tex-Mex in the area. Pros: Might be OK for kids. Cons: Food, service, margaritas. more
