“Was recommended by a friend to this amazing place! Variety of great food!Love it“

“best seafood hands down, drinks was good food was good food was actually excellent loved it would recommend it to anybody and everybody“

“Delightful New Orleans style brunch with chandeliers and choice of buffet or menu. I’ve had the buffet both times I’ve been here, nice variety of choices including crab and peel and eat shrimp. Don’t miss the banana foster French toast made on demand, or the carving table prime rib. Looks like an expensive bougie place but even the buffet is only $40 and the menu items very reasonable.

The manager, Doug, was amazing at accommodating our big group on little notice, even when we had additional people join our table. No fuss, just made sure everyone felt welcome. Our waiter Chris prepared a special treat for a birthday boy with us. And overall just made sure everybody was taken care of and had a good time.

Highly recommend for a nice Sunday brunch!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 food was really good tonight! Thanks for serving us👍🏼“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and great service!“

“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 “

“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!“

“good taste and large portions.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The service was quick, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. This has officially become my new go-to spot for Greek/Mediterranean food. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!“

“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!!!!“

“!!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.“

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

“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! 👍🏾“

“Good music. Great crowd. Fun place.“

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

“This place is a staple among my friends. The atmosphere is fantastic with dim lights, quiet music, and plenty of seating. The food is delicious, there’s not a thing that I’ve tried that I haven’t liked. Their wine menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. Their selection of cake is a must try. My favorite is the Boston Cream Cake. The service is wonderful, and their bar/kitchen staff are attentive and kind.“

“Idk if everyone knows, but Rob is the best. If you go to the aquarium here in kema, request rob. He used to work the kitchen and moved to server. Extremely knowledgeable and is willing to go out of his way to make any accommodations he can that you ask!!! Did all the steps of services coming from the restaurant industry in fine dining, and hit every mark possible. All 46 steps of service rob hit! Managers look out, this guy is on the rise!!!! Best service that I have had in years, better than Perry's and saltgrass. Steak was cook perfectly even for not being a steakhouse, they really have something going for them, everything was on point to the tee! Way to go man! Keep slaying everyone with that work ethic!!! And keep the mustache! 🤪 hes a great photographer also!!!“

“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.“

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

“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.“
