About Us
The Molak Corporation is a family owned and operated restaurant and entertainment group, established in 1975 and recognized for owning some of the hottest joints in Texas: Gruene Hall, the Gristmill and Josephine Street, to name a few. We have grown from two employees and one business to what you see today, 10+ businesses and over 600 employees between Gruene and San Antonio. We are still a small business at heart, and we pride ourselves on preserving historic Texas properties and offering a great culture for our employees.
The Gristmill A one of a kind, true Texas experience, the Gristmill facility was once home to a cotton gin (circa 1878) and is considered one of the most iconic dining spots in Texas for nearly half a century. The original Gristmill building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1975 and the Gristmill River Restaurant opened its doors in 1977. Our menu items are made from scratch daily, right down to the soups, sauces and dressings. With its exceptional, tried-and-true menu, multi-level patios and 7 indoor dining rooms, the Gristmill is a quintessential spot that celebrates the regionality that makes Texas so special.
