Rio Grande Grill opened it's doors  in 2007 when Ben Rushing his wife Sherry and son Logan had a dream to open their own restaurant.  Located in historical downtown Harlingen TX on the West side of town in one of the old Van Buren buildings, corner of Van Buren and South D Street, across from Diaz Park.

Everyone in the family contributes to the making of their delicious foods.  Ben specializes in smoked meats and built a unique smoking system.  There is a lot of talk around town about his delicious brisket, chicken, sausage, pulled pork and ribs.  Logan is a butcher and mentored with the best at Whole Foods, the world's leading retailer of natural and organic foods.  One of Logan's specialties is his sausage stuffed with poblano and cheese, a unique sausage found no where else in the Valley.  Sherry's recipes include the delicious macaroni and potato salads and cold slaw, but what has really made a hit is the poblano chili sauce you get with many of the Mexican dishes.  When they added Carmen, a 20 year chef specializing in Rio Grande style Mexican food, they knew they had a winning combination.
