39 Best American Restaurants in The Woodlands

“Living on Lake Conroe, in Conroe, TX, restaurants are limited—especially restaurants offering healthy, quality meals. This restaurant was just 20 minutes from my house on the East side of Lake Conroe. I took my 83-year-old mom there today. From the moment we walked in the door, service was friendly and professional. Our waiter, Luis B, was so attentive. He introduced us to the manager, who was also friendly and thanked us for being first-time guests at the restaurant. The food was so good. I don’t have a single complaint!“

“Food was delicious and fast and the cocktails are amazing 😻“

“Great service by Josh! and the stuffed pork chop with spinach and a cream sauce 😋 is delicious.... and let's not forget the bacon jalapeño mac & cheese .“

“Great ambiance, delicious food, and popular with all my clients! I enjoy bringing clients there for a post-closing celebration!“

“Went for brunch yesterday with friends and the customer service was top notch!!! Genuinely kind staff who went above and beyond for us. My youngest has FA and they greeted us upon entry and let me know how to discuss the allergens with the staff. We got the counter to order and I kept it simple with just bacon and fruit for my ANA kid to make it easier on everyone but the staff member made sure to let the kitchen know about cross contamination. When we looked at desserts the staff was highly knowledgeable about what desserts had allergens and which had cross. Their knowledge of ingredients and honesty over a sale was phenomenal. On top of that, there was a young gentlemen (whose name I can’t remember) but he ensured our food was perfect and that we enjoyed our meal. Just kind people all around. It was such a nice and relaxing time out that we usually don’t get with FA. Thank you so much for this. Will be back.“

“Delicious, healthy food. My fav is the Forbidden Rice bowl. 😋“

“Stopped in for a Vienna Beef chili dog, however I decided to go with the Ultimate Egg burger, it happens 😂. Burger was cooked perfect and Mgr Jeannie brought me over a sampling of homemade chips with sauces. Their onion rings and fries are top notched. Everything done in house. They bring your food and clear the table. Recommend a visit. All the employees were really nice and friendly.“

“So serene. It was nestled in the woods. The food and service was outstanding. We will be back.

Parking: No problem finding a spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids seem to be welcomed. There were a bunch when we were there.“

“I have fond memories of going to downtown Houston to James Coney Island for hot dogs when I was a child. Stopped in today to enjoy a couple of hot dogs and I enjoyed everything. Not quite the same atmosphere as it was In the late 60’s and 70’s . All the men who served you and the desk’s that you sat in to eat were really special. Thanks for keeping it going for all these years. JC is my favorite“

“The young man named Jonah there was lovely!!! Wonderful food and drinks, lovely staff, beautiful atmosphere, the music they play in the background is always good, always satisfied when we visit!! I’ve visited about 5 times total and I’ve never had a single bad experience here!!“

“It had been a while since we ate at Brazil, and it is just as good as we remembered it. The Asian sesame ginger salad with grilled chicken is the absolute best !! I keep saying we're going to try something different the next time we come in, but we love this salad so much, we end up ordering this every time.“

“Tris did not disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch, making us feel right at home. The food was exceptional; the wagyu steak was perfectly cooked and literally melted in my mouth. The truffle mashed potatoes were rich and flavorful, complementing the meal beautifully. Their cocktails were crafted with care, and to top it all off, the chocolate cake was light, airy, and the perfect sweet finish. The evening was made even better by the wonderful company, making it a truly memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“I atrended a rehearsal dinner there. The wait staff was conscientious without interrupting conversations. The food was wonderful, especially the fish dishes. They have unusual fish offerings, such as Chilean sea bass with artichoke, mushroom, and scallop lemon sauce served with brown butter rice or Australian Barramundi (tastes like if trout and halibut had a baby- firm and crispy but buttery light taste) with risotto. Generous portions. I am from Louisiana, and they did Cajun cuisine proud. I live an hour and a half away, but I would drive that far to go there again. It is pricey but worth it.“

“I love the Cajun Ribeye and the atmosphere!“

“Mother’s Day brunch would only have been better if my daughter was able to join me. My server, JAVIER, was thee BEST 🤩 He was very attentive and even though it was super busy he kept a smile on his face and even laughed and chatted with my son and I. I will definitely be back really soon. Ask for Javi, you won’t be disappointed 🫶🏾🙏🏽“

“food was incredible, staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was top notch!“

“Stopped in before concert on a Sunday afternoon and got a table for 6 with ease. My wife and her family had been here before but it was my first time and l loved it. The atmosphere was chill , the waitress was awesome , the drinks were on point and the food was delicious. I played it safe and got my “go-to” chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans -which was spot on- but tried the chicken and leek empanadas and the shepherds pie empanadas and they both were amazing!
The Parmesan garlic fries were fire too.
This is my new spot when I’m in the woodlands whether driving or on bike or foot .“

“Enjoyed so much! My Rueben Sandwich was one the best!“

“I come here every week with my boyfriend and out of all the waitresses Maggie is hands down and by far the best. She’s very sweet, attentive, friendly, and overall I don’t feel judged compared to some others that have served us. It’s always delightful when we have her as our waitress. Highly recommend the snooze classic and the Juan breakfast tacos we get this everytime!!“

“The burger in a bowel. A no carb option on the menu will draw us back frequently. The atmosphere is a plus.“

“Great seasonal cocktails and consistently good menus for brunch, lunch and dinner. We’ve always had excellent service too.“

“Wonderful stay and super patient staff! Full of energetic children and exhausted adults, everyone was sooooo nice and accommodating. The night auditor deserves a raise. She was so great at her job and pulled in 1000 directions but was quite patient.“

“We went yesterday for my fiancé birthday dinner. It was our first time being there. We have been in Houston area for almost 2 years and have been disappointed with the food scene , until last night at Perry’s!Food was excellent and our waiter was funny , attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu.We had an amazing time! They did have a 50 top and a packed house! So we were there from 7 to 10! So be expected to be there for your evening! We will be back ! Thank you!“

“Good food Great service. Good atmosphere“

“We had a lovely evening here tonight. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the service was so fantastic. We started out with a sharable appetizer platter and was plenty for the 4 of us to sample each item. Our drinks were exceptional and they even had live music on a Wednesday!! And our entrees were wonderful, great portions and lovely presentation.“

“The best Cajun pasta chicken Alfredo !!! I eat it at least once a week. Highly recommend !!“

“Irish bar with nice ambience, old photos, art work. A dozen of us got together on a Wed evening - drinks and 1/2 price burgers! We were able to reserve a table and they set us up in a very nice spot upstairs at the back. Server had no issue with 11 separate checks for a group of twelve! Will be back!“

“Great selection of breakfast entrees personally like cowboy scramble and wife had brisket scramble. Both were large enough to have breakfast today with plenty left over for tomorrow's breakfast. You might consider having BBQ sauce available for the brisket scramble.
Had their version of shrimp and grits today different but good.

Update last Sunday and service left a lot to be desired 3 of the 4 orders were wrong. The regular coffee tasted very old. The decaf coffee drinkers had to wait not once but twice to get coffee, refills were fe and far between. I hope this is an anomaly but if there is a repeat that's the last time I'll go there.

A reason to stop there was fine. They were back to their normal quality. You've not only coffee, they were very busy so service was a tad slow but bit adequate I enjoyed their double decker omelette with grits and a biscuit and it was very nice. Certainly amble quality and quantity“

“Amazing atmosphere, great service and THE BEST SHUSHITO PEPPERS!!! If you’re in Houston at The Woodlands definitely stop by!!“

“Went for a 50th birthday party celebration in the bar area for 25 friends. Beautiful spot and delicious appetizers and drinks! Great relaxing vibe“

“So sad this place is closing down! It was our favorite spot to grab breakfast in the Woodlands.“

“Haven't eaten here in years, door dashed it one night, bowl, chicken crispers, Cajun pasta all really good! Went there a couple times after that, everything was really good every time. They have stepped up their game, creating a smaller menu and fresher items.“

“Me encanto el salmón a la plancha con quinoa Exelente“
