Had a reservation in the snug on a chilly winter night. The front door opening and the cold wind blowing in caused the thermostat to read that It was really cold in the restaurant which made the heat blast in the back where we were. My guests and I were on fire and it was extremely uncomfortable and unenjoyable. The server claimed there was nothing she could do until we finally asked for a manager. Luckily, the manager was responsive and did make adjustments to the thermostat which made the experience less miserable. The food was average at best. The Irish nachos were pretty good but a very basic food. The buffalo cauliflower was also pretty good but oily and vinegary. When I called to make the reservation, the staff who answered the phone were extremely helpful and detailed which was probably the best part of the experience.

Much like the authentic Irish Pubs I've visited on the The Emerald Isle, The Goose's Acre has some outstanding food and excellent service. Tip: The portion sizes here are quite generous - you won't go away hungry ;-) The venue is situated on the Woodlands Waterway, and the place looked quite lovely on the completely clear day of our visit. We opted to dine on their outdoor patio and very much enjoyed the ambiance. The cocktail menu was well appointed, but I was in the mood for a draft so I made a mental note for our next visit. We each ordered a sandwich - I chose the Late B Sandwich; it's made with whole wheat toast, peppered bacon, a fried egg, red leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, and herb aioli; it was excellent and came with some perfectly salted garlic Parmesan fries that were delicious as well. Over and above my delightful sandwich I very much enjoyed the Irish Nachos - these are everything you would have on a regular nachos but on a REALLY THICK cut of potato instead. I'm talking 1/2" plus in thickness. The taste is very different, very satisfying and highly addictive :-) To sum it all up, the service was efficient and attentive, the ambiance was laid-back and relaxing, and the food was satisfying and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

GREAT service!! From the host right when you walk in to the waite, everyone was so nice. The food was amazing and came out very fast. Live music and the restaurant itself was such a vibe and makes for a great night out!!

I rarely leave Yelp reviews but I pulled out my phone to make one because the Deviled Eggs were SO GOOD. They have fried chicken and carmelized onions on them and I can't even describe how much I loved them. Definitely try them out if you pass by!

So fairly dead...but best meal ever (as far as pork chops go)! Would get the pork chops 15 times over! Great recommendation by our bar tender!

While known as an Irish Pub, they serve a wide variety of sandwiches, salads and main dishes. Excellent selection of Irish Beers and Whiskey.

Worst service ever. Came for lunch, waited more than an hour for our appetizer. Waitress didn't know the menu at all and was hugely incapable. When we asked about our order her response was "there are a lot of orders on the screen". What does that even mean. Won't make the mistake of returning.

Always good and plenty of choices. Kids under 12 eat free on Sunday, so here I am with my youngest grandson for brunch. Breakfast with a side of fried calamari and live music on the patio overlooking the waterway skip the biscuits and sausage gravy

My first visit here was amazing!... I've recently returned twice in the past few weeks and it wasn't so great :( Service was great! Views were great! Food was NOT GOOD AT ALL. 2 weeks ago I ordered the birria grilled cheese and was not impressed. The sandwich had a weird taste. It's hard to describe but it's like the meat was cooked in sour water...fast forward to this weekend when I ordered the artichoke dip pizza. Now, I love artichoke so I know what it's supposed to taste like. The smell coming from the pizza was PUNGENT! The taste was awful and the same sour taste was present. No matter how much ranch and hot sauce I dipped the pizza in, the taste was just unbearable. This last visit really did it for me. Unsure if I'll return, and if so I'll have to get items that don't necessarily have ti be prepared such as fries. :-(

The food is bar food not very good , service was poor but the location was great. Nice patio area to sit and relax.
We walked in and noticed a sign stating, "1/2 priced Lunch" on Sundays and confirmed with the hostess that it included Brunch. We were seated and received our food. The omelet order was incorrect and took until the rest of the meals were finished to arrive. The avocado toast was wet and tart. The ham served with the pancakes was like deli meat for a sandwich. The salmon was flavorless. The mozzarella sticks were sadly the best part. Upon receiving our check we were surprised to see that everything was full priced. When we asked the waitress, she said the hostess was new and must've been confused. I went inside to take a picture of the sign: it had been erased. This was a major marketing error on their part which they should've honored. We left dissatisfied and will not be returning.

While touring around The Woodlands, we stopped by this Irish pub for a frosty and people watch. This 2 story establishment is truly a little bit o' Ireland. Go to the website and read the history of this transported Irish gem. Great selection of brews and libations as well as a full menu. The heat just broke here, so we sat outside on the patio. Great service, super clean and well appointed. The bar woodwork is amazing! Looking forward to a return visit to try some of their fare. if you visit Houston, you have to take a trip to this area, voted one of the best places to live...one visit, you'll agree.

Deviled eggs so good, went for the .25 cent name day calendar and even 10 Oz beer wasn't very cold but you can't beat 4 beers for 1.00

Went a Saturday night for a couple drinks with friends , my sister and I went to go use the restroom downstairs when 5 black bouncers came over to us and told us we had to leave. We kept asking why since we were just going to the bathroom and we had just gotten there. We told him all of our personal items were at the table but he didn't care at all and ignored us. The black guy in kacki kept threatening us he was gonna carry us out if we didn't leave. We followed what he said but told him we couldn't bare not going to the restroom so he proceeded to have someone escort us there. We don't understand why this happened to us , super disrespectful in general . I would've understood if we were drunk but we were barely on our first round. How are you a grown ass man coming up to young girls and talking sh*t? very unprofessional. Don't get me wrong the service from our server was amazing yet sad to say that black guy in khaki tried to ruin our good night. Overall we were still unfazed since we know that's the only time he feels powerful in his sad miserable life.

Let me start off with the food, I've been here several times and the food is great all the time! My favorite dish here is their fish & chips though (hint: Monday's is half off!). I've also had their shepherd's pie which is excellent and for sharing their tuna poke won't disappoint. Their service is always friendly, never had a bad experience. Every time we come in their manager is seen making rounds to the tables asking if everything is good. Great service! The only thing I would say brings down my review is the cleanliness of their place, it is fairly clean however I would recommend new sets of cloth napkins and newer menus. Overall great place to eat for lunch or dinner in The Woodlands waterway.
