The menu has been changed about a month ago. New menu consists of goat cheese everywhere. Personally, it’s not for me, or the rest of my family. We used to go here all the time, not any more. They took the chicken fried steak off the menu. They took the green chili & cheese grits off and subbed it for goat cheese and bacon grits (it’s gross). I know that chefs like to change up the menus, but he is headed downhill quick. I absolutely would not recommend until the menu is changed. The staff is fantastic, all so sweet and efficient.

We had a great evening of food and drink. My wife ordered the 8oz filet. It had pretty basic seasoning, a little salt and pepper it would seem, but was cooked a spot on medium and was a good piece of meat. All in all about a 7+ for the steak flavoring. I hate to do that, but here's the rub. It seems that there were selections of flavors to go with the steak as an add-on. We only sometimes do add -ons but if it were recommended, I suspect she would have done that, and knowing what we know now. The lady was new and so this will not take away from the 5 stars that this place deserves as I know some may just like salt and pepper, which is how I generally cook mine, but this was hers. I had the catfish etouffee and here is how that turned out. The catfish was fried to perfection. The flavoring was spot on and the shrimp etouffee had just the right amount of spices and seasoning. The rice with it was also seasoned and cooked very well I would give my dish a solid 9+. What was needed for the 10? The lemon wedge they gave with it was cooked on one side and not the other, leaving a just barely overly citrus flavor. Cooked on both sides it would have burned off a bit more citrus, leave ng it with a great flavoring and I would have had given the long sought after 10. Phenomenal and I will be back to have that again. Wife ordered the mashed potatoes and side salad as well. The potatoes were creamy, buttery, flavorful, bits of thin peel which totally added to the flavor, cooked perfectly and it was a pretty big bowl, enough for two oddly enough. Wife and I agree, perfect 10. Her salad though, looked like a bowl of leafy greens with cheese on it and a cucumber slice. She added a bit of dressing and then proceeded in with the fork. Tomatoes, cheese, cucumber, onion, pepperoncini and just a great mix all around. She thoroughly enjoyed it, but I didn't ask her rating. I will have to score that later. (To be added here). Then dessert. The waitress had somehow not seen that her ticket didn't print and so she offered us a free dessert, ok. We were having a great time and the service times were just fine, even with that error. I didn't know... :). So, we had an amazing dessert, drunken bread pudding a la mode. Just wow! All the flavors were there. Not overly sweet. Warm vs cold and just the right amount of sauce. That earned a 10. We hadn't had that great of a desert since Del Frisco's in Fort Worth, with one of their old desserts that they changed profiles on us. Forgot, the rolls at Crossfire. Yeast rolls, fun flavoring, buttery and a little garlicky. Solid 9. The waitress was sweet, it was a nice place, not overly loud. Old country feel inside of an arena... And I'm glad the smell from the arena didn't permeate into the restaurant. Wheh. Such a great meal and such a great time. Will be back for certain. Oh and it was priced right also, shockingly. Final note. Crossfire is the name of the team I called my son's soccer team for about 8+ seasons. Didn't realize the name of restaurant until I looked at the menu... Good stuff.

We really enjoyed our meal, and the service was great.
We arrived an hour til’ close and received the best service. Thank you, Lacey, your recommendations were spot on and you were such a joy! I had the Sweet Chili salmon with asparagus, both were seasoned and cooked to perfection :)! I’m not really one to leave reviews but, with the quality of food and Lacey, I had to give them recognition. We will definitely be back <3

This MUST be on everyone's bucket list !!! Set in beautiful Hamilton county Texas hill country nestled inside a top notch arena, the food is amazing. The staff from the lady at the front who greets n seats to our waitress the beautiful Alina with that huge sweet Texas size smile, I highly recommend. We are absolutely going to be regular guests..no more like family. P.s. when you are done enjoying your meal go outside and enjoy the balcony and the creek or maybe catch some rodeo action or just sit at the bar and relax.

Crossfire Cafe and Cantina is an oasis that Hamilton is fortunate to have. Chef John uses quality engredients and perfectly prepares the meats to order. I also appreciate there are local wines paired with the meals. Best of all, the kids can swim or rope or shoot hopes in a safe environment while the adults enjoy themselves!
