Babe's Chicken Dinner House
Babe's Chicken Dinner House is a restaurant in Granbury serving chicken and comfort dishes in large portions meant for sharing. Each entree comes with sides including salad, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and gravy.
The building dates to 1917 and originally served as Granbury's first car dealership, selling and servicing Model T automobiles. The restaurant opened in 2007 and preserves original tools like the hydraulic lift discovered during renovation, remnants from its automotive past.
The name Babe's reflects its family-run roots and approach to hospitality. The way meals are shared family-style and the space is arranged emphasizes bringing people together around food and conversation.
The restaurant is wheelchair accessible with nearby parking. It is wise to arrive early during peak times or be ready for a wait, and calling ahead is recommended if you want an entire pie or need a large table.
During renovation, workers discovered the original hydraulic lift buried in an alley, a tangible remnant from the building's car shop days. This accidental discovery connects the structure's industrial past to its present life as a gathering place for food.
