Riley's Bar & Grill

Midland Open 11:00 AM – 2:00 AM 5.0 (10) 3421 W Wall St, Midland, TX 79701, United States

About this place

Riley's Bar & Grill occupies a stretch of West Wall Street in Midland, Texas, where it has built its name on two things regulars mention before anything else: the original Steak N' Bake and Bloody Marys the bar itself calls world-famous. Chef Jeff runs the kitchen, and Sunday afternoons turn the place into a standing-room football crowd built around that Steak N' Bake tradition.

The menu keeps things centered on hearty American plates. Ribeye steaks come up frequently as some of the best diners say they've had in Midland, and the bacon-wrapped, cream-cheese-stuffed jalapeños known as armadillo eggs are a standard starter at the bar. Spicy catfish, fried chicken, and a full micheladas lineup round out a menu built for pairing food with drinking rather than fine dining.

The atmosphere leans divey but energetic, with live music some nights, an outdoor patio for cooler evenings, and a private lot that makes parking easy on busy weekends. It's a solid pick for a casual dinner, a Sunday football gathering, or a late-night drink with friends, though the kitchen does close before the bar, so plan food orders earlier in the evening.

A Classic That Keeps Getting BetterI’ve been going to Riley’s for over 30 years, and somehow this place just keeps getting better with age. It’s the perfect casual spot to grab a cold beer or Bloody Mary with friends and enjoy some good music. I’ve never tried the food myself, but my dad is a regular—first in line on Sundays and back again during the week, so that says something!Just a heads up: smoking is allowed in the bar area, so if that’s not your thing, consider yourself warned. Personally, I’ve always had a great time and made tons of fun memories here over the years.Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Super friendly, and when Uber and Lyft wasn’t working they found me a ride home so that was super nice. I would definitely recommend this bar to anybody

Nice "PUB" feel with friendly staff who are constantly working to get orders and drinks out quick!! Outside shade seating available too. Plus LIVE music.

Sunday Steak & Bake not to be missed. Huge portions, steak had great flavor. Best Bloody Mary we have ever had. Ask for a mini pitcher. Outdoor patio was perfect.

Friday is the day to come if you like fried catfish. Very cool place to hang and have a beer or a few! Pool tables, outdoor sitting, cool deco.

This was my first time eating here. The food was amazing and compared to other places that offer burgers this place has to the best place I have gotten a burger in many years. I would definitely be back here again. And would definitely recommend to try out for everyone.

This is one of those tiny little bars. It's very rustic and worn down. But the food is really good. And the bartender was a doll. I had a very good time. Met there with some friends from work. Drinks were very good too.

Food and drinks are always great. It's a great place to hang out especially when they have bands. The bartenders are always great and give awesome customer service.

It’s a Biker Bar so I shouldn’t have been surprised that it smells like an ashtray. Thankfully, the food was delicious!! I especially love their chicken fried steak plate.
