“Ive lived in the area for about 4 years. We usually drive into the city for dinning but tonight we came to Marais. Everything was excellent from the host, to the food, the atmosphere and our service top tier. We went tonight for our 4 year anniversary and they were so sweet about acknowledging the occasion. Definitely a new go-to. Their Sunday Brunch will be next!“

“Wonderful 9 course experience where the chef and staff treat you like you reserved the whole restaurant. The team spends 7 days a week preparing for the special tasting menus. They also take time to ask about any allergies or other preferences. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and friendly. Take your time to enjoy the experience and bring your friends and family because it is worth every penny!“

“This was my first visit to Backyard in Seabrook and it did not disappoint. The food was really good, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was laid-back and enjoyable. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming here for a couple years now and I’m very impressed with their newest bartender maybe 3 weeks fresh in at Scotty’s, Chris. He is personable and has a loyal group of regulars that are starting to trickle in and grow a soft spot for our beloved neighborhood pour. He is bringing in a lot of business, but I can’t say I’m surprised by this. He has a way of connecting with people that make their experience as such when someone actually connects with you and remembers the little things when they see you again. Nobody feels like a stranger. He’s adapting quickly and always busting his ass behind the bar to make it a great experience. The staff here is top notch 💯🤌“

“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 “

“Great food and great service!“

“This was my first time at Village Pizza & Seafood and I really enjoyed it! The food was fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and made me feel welcome right away. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“I did an online order for this new location, and honestly this was the best little ceasers I had in a long time. Usually when I go to other locations the food be okay and dont be fresh and hot, but this location had my food hot & fresh, and it was good!“

“I recently checked out Tookie's Seafood and had a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy some good seafood. I ordered the Gulf red snapper along with the fried alligator and kept it simple with a couple of bottled waters. The snapper was fresh and cooked just right flavorful, tender, and definitely the standout of the meal. The fried alligator was a fun addition too, crispy on the outside and nicely seasoned. Service was friendly and attentive, and everything came out in a reasonable time. It felt like a place that cares about both the food and the customer experience. Overall, I would recommend Tookie’s Seafood if you’re looking for fresh, well prepared seafood in a laid back setting. I would definitely come back.“

“Not only is the food hot and quick but the owners drop kicks are too! Been supporting them for YEARS And FOR SURE gonna keep doing it!!!“

“Our fav steakhouse in the League City, TX area. Food, staff & atmosphere are 5-star. We eat there at least 1-2x/month. Collin, restaurant manager, is so kind, personal, welcoming & always jumps in to help when restaurant is busy. You will not be disappointed.“

“Delicious experience!! I enjoyed every bite!!“

“Wow — one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had! I ordered the chilaquiles plate half Verde, half Roja and topped it with fajita beef… and let me tell you, that fajita meat sent it over the edge. So much flavor and perfectly tender. I also grabbed a side of corned beef hash — if you’re a corned beef lover, this is the one. Crunchy on the outside, packed with flavor, and paired with the best grilled onions. My husband went with the chicken fried steak plate. The steak is tenderized and made fresh to order, and the gravy was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place. The service was top-notch, and TAMMY did an incredible job welcoming everyone into the diner!“

“My husband is working here in Texas and we came by 2/17/26 for supper and it was amazing. The steak was great, the brisket was way better than our bbq place back home and the ribs were great. The BBQ sauce was to die for. I had ordered the sausage but then was told it was sold out which was okay because we came around 9pm. We tried all the things that diners drive in and dives tried. Let’s just say if my husband comes back to this part of Texas we will be back ohhh and let’s not forget the armadillo eggs those things was amazing my husband have talked about how good they were all night and day. This is a must try place!!!!“

“Great 👍 food excellent Ambiance with almost reasonable price 👌“

“good taste and large portions.“

“!!PLEASE READ ENTIRE REVIEW!! My family and I stopped and ate at Casa Fiesta on our way home from vacation. My wife is in the final stages of brain cancer so everything we do as a family is precious time. When one of the owners...Ray...saw us praying before our meal, he came over and greeted us and told us we were a blessing to him. We visited a lot, got to know about his family, etc. He brought cake and churros and the best special drink for my wife. My wife's late father's name was Ray, and this Ray gave us our favorite memory from our vacation. A couple of my adult daughters cried tears of joy and gratitude because of him. Ray will be a friend of our family forever. He was a very special blessing to us. Especially my wife. Guys like Ray deserve the best. Eat at Casa Fiesta often. Best restaurant experience ever! BTW.. the food was absolutely amazing and the staff was the best.“

“Great place. Service is friendly. Sammy G himself came out and said hello. Food was great. I had the fish sandwich, which was excellent, and the wings were fantastic.“

“Good music. Great crowd. Fun place.“

“do not get the pizza. The crust is so hard it could possibly break your teeth used to have the best crust in town but something happened crust is too dense, not fluffy and crisp. The way it used to be.“

“Very friendly atmosphere, delicious breakfast, courteous service. The staff is very personable. I will definitely visit again to try other items on the menu! 👍🏾“

“Absolutely the best burger. Smoked Gouda and mushroom burger“

“Excellent service, I would recommend it, their cuts are exceptional.“

“Was just there this morning for the Swiftie Breakfast and it was amazing!!! All the staff were so kind, welcoming and on theme! There was a photobolth, tattoos, friendship bracelets, themed drinks and food!!! I had a blast it was so much fun! The food was insanely good, and came out super fast!!! I will definitely be going back! Thank you so much for this event!“

“What an experience. The Clear Lake Shores Police Department has set up a high-intensity policing area. If you visit local businesses, make sure you look both directions before doing anything. They like to sit in local parking lots, watch stop signs, turns, traffic lights, everything - handing out citations left and right. It really puts a damper on experiences knowing that when you leave, you have a high probability of immediately getting pulled over. What's a few hundred dollars, right? We can all afford a ticket to visit a great restaurant or venue. Make sure you salute the boys in blue. Protect and serve, right? Make sure you try their drinks here.“

“Great menu and a great environment overall I definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.“

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

“This is such a fun place! It's got the dark warm decor, friendly knowledgable staff, and quick plates packed with flavor. If you want a fun wine date, girl date, or need a place to get some work done (they have wifi), this is a great wine bar to try out.“

“Very nice server, great soup. Pleasant place to stop and have nice meal. They do have tables outside for the outdoor person“

“Sammy‘s is my new favorite place! I have experienced both the in person experience and the DoorDash. Let’s start with the in person experience… You are welcomed as soon as you come in the door whether you are sitting at the bar or sitting at a table. Super friendly you don’t wait very long and a drink is in front of you whether it’s a well drink or just water with lemon! The food is phenomenal. I am personally hooked on the fish tacos! When the owner is there which is pretty much 24/7 he will definitely come up and say hello to you introduce himself and after that, you’re not a customer, you are a friend. It’s a place that you can go to by yourself and feel comfortable. On a date or even with a group did I mention the fish tacos are delicious and the fries too and I might as well tell you that the Moscow mule is pretty tasty too! I look forward to warmer days when I can sit out on the deck! Highly highly recommended! 10 out of 10! Keep up the great work!“

“Audra was amazing her customer service was great. Food was great our waitress was amazing too thank y'all for taking such good care of us. I woke till 2am so I absolutely love breakfast food and Audra outdid herself tonight. Thank y'all again we'll be back 😋😊“

“The food is great and decor is unique!“

“The staff were amazing. Food is out of this world! The view never disappoints. Highly recommended.“

“I am a foreigner and I passed by the place by chance and I think it is good. I recommend it. Good luck.“

“Man, dese burgers! My new burger joint! Affordable and way tasty. And fries are perfectly crunchy and golden brown...mmmm! DDash delivers, as well, this is my 2nd order in 2 weeks. Sure will be ordering again

Great job, y'all. Thanx 💙💜!!“

“Love Cabo! However our experience today was off. We ordered drinks and at bar and then got a table outside to order food, and the waitress refused to serve us, stating TABC rules, but we weren’t ordering drinks from her, we are really good customers and tip really well. I’ve never had that happen and have always had good service there. Maybe a new inexperienced waitress, worried we weren’t going to tip her? Or maybe I didn’t know you couldn’t a have drink tab at the bar and order food at a table separately? I’ve worked, waitressed , in the food industry so this was new to me.“

“Our server Jerrico was simply Marvelous. He was cheerful and very kind. Also, the other staff members I had contact with was great and the food was good.“

“We’ve been going to the Aquarium Restaurant for years. This time it was a turnaround… Our daughter took us to celebrate the memories of us going over the years. We were a large group with six small grandchildren and four adults. Our server, Maria, did an absolutely amazing job managing the group, the orders and absolutely everything. Well done!“

“Everything was delicious!“
