“We’ve dined at Schafer’s several times & have always had an above average experience! Last Saturday we dropped a piece of jewelry down between the cracks on the patio & the manager was kind enough to unscrew the boards & retrieve it for us!! I just love this place & the staff. The Outrigger’s fish tacos are amazing! But also love the meatloaf, burger & key lime pie! Highly recommend!“

“when I first went there they had only beer now they have my margaritas and his beer.“

“Wow, the food was superb!! Today was my first time ever dining at First Watch. I am a pancake lover and if you like lemon ricotta pancakes, try these!!. First Watch FM 646, in League City!! BTW, Aleydhe is the BEST. Awesome service.“

“Great dinner, and the wait staff is great especially a waitress named Harper who should be the manager, super Intelligent as well as a total pro at what she is doing for a living. Great personally and a problem solver and super hard working and totally unwilling to compromise the quality of service that Black Bear Dinner is known for. Ronald R Mosher“

“Stopped in for a quick Breakfast and I have to say Randi was absolutely amazing! Hands down the best service. My 3 year old is autistic so we try not to go out to often. She made us feel so welcomed and accommodated him perfectly! I will definitely be coming back to see her! Service was outstanding!“

“Everything was delicious! I kept seeing posts about this place. The burgers are huge and mouthwatering and look just like their pics! Those were probably the best fries I’ve had in my life. The food came out fairly quickly but it was a weekday night so not too busy. The staff was friendly as well I’m glad we live so close. We will be back often! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We had a group of first responders in our building today and Maria with Ernie’s took wonderful care of them. She was very polite, professional and attentive to everyone. The food was delicious. It tasted fresh and flavorful. The peach cobbler was amazing as well as the brisket and the barbecue baked beans.“

“We go to Marais Sunday brunch 4-5 times a year. Our waiter Nick seemed to always be helping other tables. We were always waiting for something, a hot towel or our ticket and he never pour us more champagne. The main disappountment was my banana foster. It's my favorite and I always look forward to it. The sauce was overcooked and not warm. Hated that for my meal.“

“My husband and I had an absolutely delightful time.

Chef Skinner and his team prepared a delicious 19-course tasting menu featuring different Indigenous dishes.It was interesting learning the history behind each dish alongside each unique flavor.

Describing the dishes really does not justice to the flavor - these ranged from corn soup to morel mushroom fried skewers to rainbow trout on native US wild rice. Each dish was just sublime. Legitimately each dish that came out we were surprised to find it as tasty as the dish before.

We personally do not like artichoke or cauliflower - but even these were prepared nicely and worth trying. My husband absolutely *despises* beans and yet he had multiple helpings of the bean soup. It was really shocking to see him enjoying eating beans.

We do not drink often, but the drinks we had were beautifully prepared and smooth.

Everything was perfectly flavored. The staff were kind and the restaurant space was beautiful.

I never write reviews, but we loved our experience so much I needed to share. I cannot recommend enough, and we look forward to coming again.“

“I highly recommend this Café. I ordered to go as I’m leaving state after breakfast, but the girl that helped me carry my drinks out was super sweet. Not being from Texas I was curious about everything on the land and she was very informative (I should’ve gotten her name). I ordered the Sycamore 2s which was 2 pancakes (choice of 1/2 waffle or 2 slices French toast), 2 eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon (choice of sausage also). I got my son an order of French toast, and a friend the brunch burger. Everything was AMAZING. The server mentioned Mondays they have a mimosa special (she told me exactly but I forget it). I like over medium eggs and this is the first place I’ve been that’s gotten my eggs PERFECT the first time around. It’s an adorable little café and there’s a wedding venue in the back. I highly recommend trying their food if you haven’t before. I took photos but it won’t let me add them to my review.“

“Just came from our first visit and the food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful and we were served quickly. We had the avocado toast and barria tacos and they were both amazing. I will say we were a bit confused as to how and where to order at first. There are wait staff but some people ordered from a window. We will be going back for sure to try other items. I can't believe it took so long for us to give it a try but so glad we did!“

“We loved our visit to Twin Peaks. A group of us guys were in need of some beer and stopped by Twin Peaks. Genesis was helpful with the lunch menu. She constantly kept checking up on us.“

“It's a pleasure to recommend this place, Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux in La Porte, TX. Excellent food and the best service at the bar. The beer is ice cold, and you can enjoy your favorite drink.“

“The food at this establishment was amazing. We had the chicken pot pie and a plate of grilled pork chops with is sweet bourbon glaze that was stellar. Service was provided by, Cameron G. This young man is the best. Very attentive and on point. Get this man a raise. My travel partner and I had a great meal and a very nice, quiet place to converse without distractions. No room for dessert. Prices were excellent as well.“

“We have been going for years and never been disappointed. Very friendly staff and food is excellent . Tender basket with honey mustard is incredible. Awesome deserts as well. Thanks for keeping us well fed Brad. S. Whynot.“

“The club is really clean. The food is hot and great. My bartender Kelly was the best, attentive, personable, amd stellar service. The girls are all very sweet and beautiful and no pressure which is refreshing and chill. Highly recommended, my favorite is Suki, she's ridiculously cute. Christina at the front is a real way to raise the bar upon entry try prepare yourself for a sleek, refined goddess. They won't break your heart, they might break your wallet lol but that's their job and they are sooooo talented guaranteed you find what you are looking for here.“

“I want to say how AMAZING this place is! I booked a birthday dinner for my boyfriend and the owner called me personally and spoke with me and made sure that she decorated our table personally and even got us a private room (which I had no idea was going to happen)! When we arrived, there were beautiful balloons, candles and a stunning room filled with low lights and music. Her husband even came in to make sure everything was to our liking and the waitress (Chloe) was outstanding! I cannot say how wonderful each and every person was that night and how great the food was as well. We will for sure be regular customers at this restaurant for years to come! Thank you so much to the owners and the staff....You made us feel like royalty! God bless you guys!“

“Fast friendly service, very fair prices, great location and ofcourse the food was awesome! I had the rodeo burger and it was really very delicious 😊😋“

“We walked into Sudie’s after a funeral, completely unannounced with a large party of 40 people. The management team went above and beyond to accommodate us. Coya, our only waitress, didn’t bat an eye. She was amazing and worked extremely hard to take care of all of us. Thank you, your kindness made all the difference in the world at that moment.“

“Old Mother's bar throws open its doors with a warm welcome, offering a friendly atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding and making new friends. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you'll feel right at home. Full Bar, Pool, Slots, and Live “

“The food is excellent! On Sunday's they have a DJ & the music is a little loud but good. There's usually a line to the door but the wait, about 15 minutes, is well worth it. Nothing real fancy. The food is served in to-go containers with plastic wear. They do have a seating area that's large enough to accommodate you or your group if you choose to dine in.“

“Scotty’s Bar and Grill is an awesome spot. The food, service, and overall atmosphere were all top notch. Everyone was attentive and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a great experience.

Dina, the owner, is a rock star. She was out on the floor making sure everything was running smoothly and that people were getting their food and drinks quickly, which really stood out.

The bar staff makes great drinks and the pricing is very reasonable. They also have live music on the weekends with some really talented performers, which adds a great vibe.

Highly recommend checking this place out. It’s a great local spot and definitely one I’ll be coming back to.“

“Strawberry Feilds Salad is absolutely wonderful. If you love a good salad for lunch. This is the one to try.“

“Great food and staff. Best chicken and dumplings I’ve had since a kid.“

“We've been here before and it was great then, its great now as well.

The food never disappoints. The service is good, and the atmosphere is excellent.

The wait list option is an awesome alternative to reservations.

Food and drinks are reasonably priced, with a nice variety.

I'd recommend to anyone looking for a more upscale bar & grill without breaking the bank.“

“I eat here probably twice a week. It’s the best hamburger I’ve ever had. I get the Kobe burger or the bison burger either one.“

“We wanted to find a new brunch spot. This was the first time going here. It was pretty good.

The bacon was crispy and that was perfect! There weren’t many options but it was still pretty good. The manager waited on us and was just the right amount of attentive. The entertainer was great!“

“This village doesn't disappoint. Gone to them for years and this one was nice enough to serve me right before closing time. I hate doing that to the cooks so I'd ask what's easy on you. Of course what I wanted the shrimp po' boy was perfect. Asked him to fire two up and it was damn worth it.“
