  My family and I tried this place out a few nights ago, after one of my aunts and cousins kept telling us about how good it was...... big mistake. Let's just start by saying as a restaurant, you should not re-use the Whole Foods water bottles, fill them with what tasted like city water and tell me it's Whole Foods water. Let me tell you, I drink the Whole Foods electrolyte water often, and the taste is very different from what was offered as table water and the bottles are not cloudy in appearance.
  
  The next thing is there is one poor little hostess/waitress/table busser who works her ass off, and is not appreciated by the pompous bartender/boss. He stays behind the bar, except to bring food out to people sitting at the bar and brags about himself with all the bar patrons.
  
  I ordered sangria, there was none already made, so the waitress asked him to make some more. 20 minutes later I do not have my sangria, so I ask her about it. Meanwhile, I am seated where I can see the bar area, and the bartender is chit chatting with everyone and not making the sangria. He finally makes it - some cheap red wine, some other mix and some simple syrup....the nastiest sangria I have ever tasted.
  
  Needless to say the food was not any better. The pizza had soggy crust, and the very bland, tasteless pizza sauce that drowned the crust - well I have had Ragu and Prego that tasted much better. The meatballs and crab cakes (supposedly home made) tasted like they were frozen from CostCo or Sam's Club.
  
  Paper napkins??? Really? Having a nicer, more upscale restaurant should have cloth napkins.
  The wine and liquor selections were not impressive. Where's the Grey Goose???
  
  There were a few good things there: the waitress was fantastic. Her name was Kelsey. Kudos to Kelsey. The restaurant has a nice ambience. The Black Forest salad with the balsamic dressing was delicious. The bread they serve with the meatballs was delicious as well.
  
  I am a foodie, and I appreciate fine dining. I also appreciate a good, greasy burger and fries. I enjoy fine wines and spirits, but I also enjoy an ice, cold beer. With that being said, I did not enjoy my meal at Bonfire Grill. In fact, the three of us commented on our way home, that McDonald's French fries and McNuggets would have tasted better
  
  I hope that the "newness" wears off, they hire more help for Kelsey at night time and that they put a little more effort into serving a more upscale and tasty cuisine than what is currently offfered

  So glad to have another foodie spot in Old Town Tomball. We had three dishes all prepared very well. They all came out in succession, BF has been open for less than a week, pretty normal for non-national chain soft openings. It was great we each shared a bite as they came out. Awesome bar section with an excellent bartender; my old fashioned was perfect! We will be back.

  Interesting place. Good food, made fresh and served hot. Non-standard menu. Craft Beer, good wines and spirits. Nightly food and drink specials. Server and chef work hard, however, they are understaffed, making service slow. Entrees come out in stages. If you don't mind the wait, it's a great place to dine.
