Where to Eat in Granbury Texas
Last Updated: September 11th 2025.
Granbury is a town close to Tolar, Texas. About an hour south of Fort Worth. When we stayed with friends on our Orlando to San Francisco road trip, who live in Tolar, we went out for dinner a few times in Granbury. This ais the restaurant to eat in Granbury. There used to be 2 on the list, sadly one has closed its doors.
Stumpy’s
Well we went twice here. Our friends took us here at the beginning of our stay with them and we loved it. Their fried catfish is the best. Don’t take our word for it, take it from our friends who are locals.
You can sit inside and outside, we did both. They have all these funny texts all over the inside. Outside you have a view over the lake. You can feed the catfish, turtles, ducks and geese in the lake.
Next to the fried catfish they have delicious taco’s. The place is next to the lake Granbury marina.
Address:
Stumpy’s Lakeside Grill
2323 S. Morgan St.
Granbury
TX 76048
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
Sadly, Dickey’s in Granbury has closed its doors. You’ll have to go to Fort Worth to go to Dickey’s.
Second place for restaurants to eat in Granbury goes to a fastfood joint and that’s Dickey’s Barbecue Pit. It’s part of a chain, that’s been around since 1941.
They have delicious spareribs and good food. Their large drinking cups are a show on it’s own with a large text on it. The restaurant has old pictures and fun texts on display.
It’s delicious so worth a drive to Fort Worth from Granbury.
In other words you can eat well in Granbury, Texas. So if you happen to pass by, Stumpy’s is perfect for a stopover.
If you’re stop is a little longer, these are perfect things to do in Fort Worth an hour’s drive away.

Dickeys sounds good. We don’t have one in Canada (at least not Ontario). It sounds like a great alternative to the usual fast food places

Hello! Local gastronomy looks delicious! I like all these bbq dishes. It’s an excellent idea to visit the cafes mentioned above when hurry up, isn’t it?

I’m tempted to try the catfish, never had it that way before. I’ve only had it the Malaysian/Indonesian style: cooked in coconut turmeric curry or deep fried and doused with sambal. But Texan kind looks delicious too!

The spare ribs from Dickey’s look fantastic, its a shame they’ve closed. I love a good BBQ spot, thanks for sharing!

I live in Texas and I didn’t know where Granbury was! I had to google how far it was from me (because, as we know, Texas is huge!). Having a BBQ spot on your Texas city restaurants list is expected!
Cosette
Yes, Texas is indeed huge. We drove around only a small part of it on our trip.

I’ve never been to Texas, but my fiancé and I would love to try the BBQ meats there. The spareribs look delicious!

Your guide to places to eat in Granbury is really helpful. I like how you included a mix of casual spots and local favorites. Stumpy’s by the lake looks especially inviting.

Stumps is a winner for fact that you can feed the animals 🙂

I never heard of Granbury, TX, but I just may need to take a road trip to find Dickey’s!
