I am a life long resident of Clear Lake. The meal at the half moon will be my LAST. My family was there last Wednesday. We arrived at 5:30 PM. Took a very long time to make our order as the staff was very busy. I tried to order the ribs but told they would not be cooked till 7:00 PM. The last time I was there I could only get a half order because that is all they had left. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast. 2 hours later the order came to the table. The hash browns were burnt to a crisp, the onions on the chicken were burnt black, the chicken was cold so the cheese was not melted. The owner, wait staff and cook should be ashamed of themselves serving this garbage. I will never be back.

Such a great restaurant.

My wife and I stumbled upon the Half Moon Inn while traveling up I-35, and we're so glad we did! Google Maps led us here thanks to its good reviews, and they were well-deserved. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was really pleasant. The absolute highlight was the steak. The steak was truly excellent! The house salad was also fresh and delicious. Our only minor critique is regarding the pace; if you're in a hurry, this isn't the spot. We'd budgeted about 45 minutes for supper but ended up staying for closer to an hour and 45 minutes. That said, the quality of the meal made the extra time worthwhile. Highly recommend for a relaxed, delicious meal!

Just left at 7:30 p.m on a Thursday.
Can't rate the food, but the last time I was here, food was great.
No service but water. 20 minutes and no drink order even taken.
Eye contact was nil. No service.

I had a salad and appetizers. My friends had burgers. Very good. I liked the service and atmosphere even more. Active, but not too loud. Sara our server, was great at checking on us. We didn't have drinks, but they have those as well. It's a good place to be on a Friday night. 😄👍

Best restaurant in Clear Lake. This place hasn't changed much over the years and our favorite place each time we visit. The food, service and original atmosphere is why this place continues to be so popular.

One of our most treasured destinations for date nights is Half Moon. Every time we enter, we feel a deep sense of belonging and familiarity. The culinary offerings are consistently exceptional, but it is the outstanding service that truly distinguishes this establishment. If you are searching for the perfect place for a delightful dinner experience, your quest ends at Half Moon.

Steak was over cooked, mushrooms were cold and service was slow. Place was very busy and difficult to get into due to construction

Great vibes and atmosphere, superb staff, especially one of the bartenders, Natalie, I think was her name (make sure to tip/treat her well). The food is pretty good, but when it comes to beef products, ask for a longer cook time than you actually want because the cooks might under-do it.
