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

“Ate lunch there on July 6th to celebrate my wife, Jan‘s birthday. Best seafood and service around. Plates are overloaded with fresh HOT seafood. Highly recommend this place.“

“Walked in after a cruise not knowing what to expect. The manager greeted us and explained no worried its casual sunday. The service was exceptional! The breakfast buffet was amazing with plenty of options. Stumbled upon this spot on accident. After this visit now its a mandatory visit every cruise.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great service. Karen was great. Bacon is a little small.“

“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.“

“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 😊😋“

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

“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.“

“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 “

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“!!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 food and great service!“

“Good music. Great crowd. Fun place.“

“Food was great but the bartenders were even better. Paige and Britta were both very sweet and attentive. Will definitely be back soon.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Visited the Aquarium in Kemah this past Saturday. It was an immersive experience from the moment we entered the restaurant. The atmosphere immediately takes you into the depths of the ocean. Loved the ambience and being able to admire all the life as we enjoyed our dinner. The star of the evening was our waiter, Rob (aka mustache guy). It was apparent he thoroughly enjoys what he does and applies his joy in how he treats his customers. He was full of friendly banter, informative about our options and willing to assist in a photo for us. So impressed with our meal. It was a wonderful, dining experience.“

“Went to little Ceasars today. I tried to use the 3 off if you spend $18 or more. Mabi, the manager, Melissa and erica was so kind and friendly about how to use the discount 🤔she explained it with such care and patience... sorry guys, it's an online only discount deal. Mrs Mabi gave me some sauce instead, hat's off the manager and her crew... thank you little Ceasars“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“The food is pretty great! Atmosphere is awesome. Been there during the day and the evening. Haven’t experienced bad wait staff yet. Nice spot! Locally owned! The wings and Mac N Cheese are my FAVORITE!“

“Waffle House never disappoints! The food was great as always, fresh, hot, and exactly what we expected. The only issue we had was that an employee named Jay made us wait for our drinks while he was playing on his phone, which wasn't the best customer service experience. Other than that, everything else was excellent, and we'll definitely be back because the food is consistently good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I have been eating here for so many years. The Best Catfish in the Greater Houston/Galveston area. I have since moved away from Dickinson, but I come to see Ms. Lily once a month and still get the "All You Can Eat Catfish." A MUST when in the area or traveling to Galveston. 5 stars all the way...they treat you like family.“

“The food is great and decor is unique!“

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

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