Maroon Weekly

By Betsy Ellison

Good friends? Check. Good times? Check. Good food? Check. If this list is just as important to you on a weekly basis as it is to me then there is only one thing I can tell you, all of these things and more can be found at Ozona Grill & Bar any day or night of the week.

Ozona, located on Harvey Rd., is by far one of my favorite restaurants in College Station, without question. They have the best brunch menu, fully loaded with everything from Migas to biscuits and gravy, and award winning burgers and fully loaded nachos that are sure to blow your socks off (or at least a button or two off those jeans).

Now, I could go on and on about the ridiculous menu at Ozona or I could cut right to the chase—the bar scene, because if this were a restaurant review column I’d be about 15 pounds heavier and broke for as many places as I talk about.

You wouldn’t typically think that such a well-known restaurant would be such a fun and entertaining place to hang out at night, but Ozona most definitely takes the cake as far as drink specials and environment goes.

Monday nights are typically a good one for anyone involved with one dollar margaritas all night. Sit and sip on your frosty beverage while reminiscing with friends either inside or out on the deck, where you are sure to run into at least one familiar face (not too many people pass up this deal).

If you like your beer cold, crisp and (most importantly) cheep, then Tuesday nights at Ozona should be your new hang out. All night long, $1.50 domestic longnecks are served up with a smile from the extremely friendly wait staff—who over the last few years has come to recognize my group of friends.

Remember that brunch menu I mentioned earlier? Well, every Saturday and Sunday you can enjoy it with a custom made Bloody Marry; yes, custom made. Ozona’s award winning make-your-own Bloody Mary Bar is fully loaded with everything imaginable that one could add to their tomato juice and vodka filled glass.

There is so much more to experience at Ozona Grill & Bar than just the amazing menu. The next time you go for a bit to eat, stay a while and go out back on the deck, get out that check list and treat yourself to a night of enjoyment with good friends (check), good times (check) and good food (check).
