“My first visit at First Watch was totally awesome thanks to my server Brianna. She was very attentive to my needs and wants. The food was great and her service was excellent. Thank you Brianna for a wonderful outing. I most definitely will be back to see you.“

“Our server Amber was fantastic today! We come regularly and last visit almost made us stop because of poor service.“

“Bri was absolutely AMAZING! This visit kicked off the month of our 10th wedding anniversary, and she made it feel so special from start to finish. She was caring, attentive, and truly knew her job and the menu inside and out. Her recommendations were spot-on, her timing was perfect, and her energy made the entire experience even better. Bri didn’t just serve us—she elevated the night. BJ’s Brewhouse is lucky to have her. We’ll definitely be back and asking for Bri! 💛🍻“

“The food here is always fresh, and I absolutely love their fried chicken sandwiches, every one I’ve tried has been excellent (especially the Nashville). Service is consistently friendly, everything is made to order, and it’s always delicious. I find myself coming here at least once a week.“

“our first time today, everything was good, from service to the food. we'll definitely be back“

“Great food, nice atmosphere!“

“Got to check this place out for the first time on Easter. Really good food, amazing atmosphere, and friendly staff.“

“The food was very reasonably priced. Was good too. The waitress was so nice and very friendly. We will definitely go back for more. The tater tots were delicious, cooked perfectly and the homemade burger was scrumptious. Like I said I will be going back for something else on the menu.“

“This restaurant is fabulous! Great food! Great staff! I give this restaurant 5 Stars! Stop by and tell them Manny sent you.“

“So glad we were introduced to this little gem! It has a down home, nostalgic, feel to it. The service and food were excellent; and, prices are very reasonable. Hubby had a Bacon Burger and I had the Ribeye Quesadillas; he enjoyed his burger and the quesadillas were to die for! 🤤😋 Seating is limited inside, however, there is seating available on the outside patio; also they close at 2p.“

“We were a large group of friends and enjoyed our dinner at Kelly's. Most of our group had never been to Kelly's and was surprised by the portion size and reasonable price. As senior citizens, the price is important. We all went hom with leftovers.“

“Thank you to Texas Grill 49 for excellent service and great food and drinks for a recent birthday celebration I hosted there. If you’re looking for a place to have a large (or small) celebration I totally recommend them. We were a party of 50+ and they didn’t miss a beat in making sure all of our guests were tended to!“

“Good food! Excellent customer service!!“

“This was our first visit, and we thought it was very good! The seafood gumbo had great flavor and lots of shrimp. Our fried shrimp were fresh and fried just right with a great batter. Thomas was our waiter and was very attentive. We would definitely eat there again when we're in the area.“

“Gordon Street has very good food, it’s surprisingly good and cheap. We live in Downtown Houston where everything is super expensive and usually not great. Gordon streets food is always better and always 1/2 the price. When we want to unwind and sit in the peace and quiet this is one of our favorites.“

“Ohhhh Wrap and Roll is my new favorite place! The loxation by Green Tee has 20 claw machines!!! Not only is the food so filling and delicious, but the staff is awesome and friendly, and my son just LOVES coming here for the food plus claw machines! We have a blast every time we go :)!“

They have so many food options. I also think it's great this place is open 24hrs a day. Makes is easy when you want to go somewhere and eat and knowing this place is open. They even have a nice bakery portion. Wonderful desserts to choose from.“

“The food and service was great. Our server Jayden was outstanding. I visit this restaurant several years ago and food was good just thought it was a little drive for me, after my last visit it is worth the drive. Definitely in my dining rotation.“

“Dariannnnnnn made this outing for me and my sis a great one! From the time he came to the table to introduce himself up until the time we left… CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS ON POINT, you can tell that he had a bubbly down to earth personality and being nice is just him. & his recommendations were on point with the appetizers the smoked chicken wings 10/10!!! Our food came out hot and fresh.. he was attentive to our refills and just checking in without us having to call him over. When you visit this location be sure to look for him…“

“The staff and manager James at the Alvin location were all awesome! We got burgers, fries and onion rings and Omgosh! It was all good and fresh! We did get delivery as well and our delivery driver was awesome too and our fries and everything was not soggy! Everything was perfect!
We will be regular customers there for sure!
😎. Chad and SarahJo“

“Excelente todo, la comida , el recibimiento y atención ♥️“

“Great place love it.“

“EVERYTHING is fantastic here! My parents were married in 1963 in Freeport. They honeymooned in Galveston. They drove through Alvin and stopped at Dairyland on the way. Since they were teenagers they drank Cherry Dr Pepper and they said Dairyland has 1 of the best! We moved to Alvin in 1977. I have been going to Dairyland and eating and hanging out for the last 45 yrs!! I have had everything on the menu and it’s all good! There is not a teenager from Alvin that hasn’t eaten and hung out here since 1960!!“

“Great service! Great food! top notch experience all around. Becky one if the best servers ive ever gad the pleasure to meet!“

“We came late afternoon on a Saturday so it was pretty quiet. We were seated immediately, our server Devon was great! Appetizers came out quick and everything was delicious. The onion rings are YUMMY and the portion was huge! We didn’t order any wings, but all of our entrees were really good. The margarita shrimp tacos are highly recommended with the bacon cheddar burger coming in a close second. Beer was cold, tea was sweet and we will definitely be back!“

“BBQ was very delicious! We ordered the potato with brisket/pulled pork and my wife the brisket plate. The sauce was damn good and the brisket super juicy!

Food was so good we had to take a break/nap on our way back to make it home 😋🤤. Would recommend.

*One note is they don't have public restrooms but not an issue because there is a gas station 3 minutes away and the restrooms are very clean.“

“We went for my grandaughters birthday!! We had a great time, and the food was delicious’n“

“I visited the cafe late evening and the food was fantastic. I had a delicious shrimp taco with some well cooked wings. I had two servers that showed exemplary service. Cam and Cleo made my last minute experience in this friendly cafe so much more worth it. Will definitely be returning in the near future!“

“I have been eating here for years! I lived down the street and would always end up here for lunch. It’s a great spot with delicious homemade food and they are not shy on the portions! The staff is very friendly and the food always smells so good. Personally I love the Texas Original Chicken Sandwich with Tots. I also love their Burgers and Philly Cheesteaks. I don’t live close anymore, but any chance I get, I stop by for some delicious grub! If you ever find yourself in the area, this is a great spot to try!“

“Love going to Busy Bee. We went this last Saturday as we do every Saturday. Savannah was our server and she was kind and did a great job. Christina usually is our server and she is great, but she was not working that day and Savannah did a great job serving us. We like all the servers there and we go there a lot and feel like we are with family. Always enjoy the food and company.“

“Hometown Sports Bar never disappoints. The food and service are consistently solid, and I especially recommend the Cajun pasta and the wings as they’re my go to favorites. Friday nights are always a blast with karaoke, and the place fills up fast with good energy. Singo Bingo is another fun highlight, giving you a chance to win a little extra coin while having a good time. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax, eat well, and enjoy the night.“

“It was four minutes till opening, we had walked in man I was with is 80yrs old. Told we couldn't sit at a table or bar just to wait outside on bench. We left not at all happy couldn't believe we couldn't stay inside. Forget their Rules, we ate at a more welcoming restaurant.“

“Honestly, this is the only brewing I visit. They have the best fried pickles! The bartender Joel always makes the best drinks!“

“I can’t say enough about the amazing customer service we received tonight at Slim Chickens! My husband and I came in about 25 minutes before closing (which I felt bad about, especially ordering chicken and waffles), but Peyton Hyatt and Esmeralda Salazar never made us feel like an inconvenience. They greeted us with genuine kindness, no attitude, no rush—just great hospitality.

While we were waiting, I noticed banana pudding jars in the window and asked about them. Peyton not only showed me the pudding, but also pointed out the other dessert options they had available. As my husband and I talked, Peyton and Esmeralda decided among themselves that they wanted to surprise me—and they bought me a banana pudding out of their own pocket! That kind of thoughtfulness and kindness is rare these days and it truly made my night.

These ladies went above and beyond with their customer service, turning what could have been an ordinary late-night stop into a memorable experience. Slim Chickens is lucky to have employees like Peyton and Esmeralda. They definitely deserve recognition (and a raise!) for representing the brand with so much heart.

We will DEFINITELY be back!!“

“Red Robin has a good selection of different type of burgers and they do have great fries. The staff is very hospitable and friendly, the only con to me is their prices. Kinda sorta high when you're on a fixed income but still good.“

“Always on point and delicious!“

“This was the best experience here since I moved to Pearland 3 years ago! Noah is absolutely amazing! He was extremely attentive, always prompt and kept our drinks full. He made great conversation and was so sweet too! Thank you for helping me forget a rough week, this old girl needed that. Keep up the amazing work!!!“

“This place has been here since the 90s, but I started going here in the 2010s. The main food thing here is fried chicken and french fries which are good, I go for the chicken tenders which are always served fresh. There are other options like fried rice, mashed potatoes, and lemon cake. At one point they sold a chicken tender/shrimp salad, I loved the chicken tender salad. The prices are fair so if you want a good value for your money try this place, you will find something to like. And also they got 1 of the best Kool Aids, OH YEAH!“
