    I really enjoy Gator's. I've had the Cajun Pasta , crawfish, Beef n Noodles, Lasagna, chicken fried…read morechicken, and just about every Appetizer. For the money it is delicious! The service is also always good!

    Last night was approximately the 3rd or 4th time ordering food from Gators. The first few times it…read morewas pretty good but last night was another story. I ordered a Filet and it was decent. The steak was tender and cooked right but had more fat than usually found in this cut. My sides were awful. The baked potato (which was loaded, minus chives) had tons of cheese on it, not in a good way and that's it! The potato was hard with a weird texture. It was not like a nice hot fluffy potato should be. I ordered sautéed mushrooms to go on my steak and never have I tasted anything this bad. It tasted like burnt, dirty, greasy grill. I couldn't eat either the mushrooms or potato. My side salad, was lousy, a 7 year old could have done a better job. I didn't dine in so I can't attest to how that is but for $33.00 for just one meal, I was extremely disappointed. So many places are not upholding the good ole, "make good food, make return customers" and Gators unfortunately is one of them. If you don't make consistently good food, expect to lose customers. There are way too many other options. I highly doubt I'll ever eat here again.

    Weiner Wednesday! Weiner Wednesday!!!…read more I just had to say that; it's too much fun! On Wednesdays, you can enjoy 50% off all schnitzel orders, and let me tell you, the schnitzel is excellent--both the pork and chicken options are fantastic. The beer is cold, and there's a vast selection to choose from. Now, let's address a controversial topic: some of you don't eat sauerkraut--heathens, I say! King's has the best sauerkraut in Harris and Galveston counties, bar none. Yes, it's a bit out of the way, but the atmosphere is lively, and the food portions are relatively large. It can get a little rowdy, though it's a fun kind of rowdiness. If you're more of a wet blanket, this might not be the place for you. If you enjoy camaraderie and good food, this is the spot for you! Weiner Wednesday (lol)!

    This evening I was in the mood. In the mood for a Reuben sandwich. If you don't know what that is,…read moreI'm not sure we can really be friends. But since I'm a likeable sort of guy, I'll explain. A Reuben is simple: corned beef, sauerkraut, toasted bread (usually marbled rye), a bit of Russian or Thousand Island dressing, and Swiss cheese. Toast it up nice and warm--basically like a grilled cheese that went to college and got a respectable job. Over the years I've had stellar versions. I've had mediocre ones. I've had them burnt, soggy, and even a few where I had to remove half the meat because the sandwich had been stacked like a small geological formation. A proper Reuben is about the stack. The corned beef should be impressive--something you look at and think, "Yes... this sandwich understands the assignment." So tonight I thought: a German place should have good kraut. Surely they'd have a good Reuben. I ordered online and requested that they toast the bread, meat, and cheese but put the kraut and sauce on the side. Anyone who's ordered a hot sandwich for delivery knows that kraut inside a sealed container quickly turns bread into something resembling damp cardboard. The good news: they followed the request. The sauce and kraut were indeed on the side. And that's about where "what they got right" ended. The sandwich was, to put it kindly, wimpy. It came on a few very small slices of what appeared to be marbled rye... or perhaps bread that aspired to resemble marbled rye. The flavor certainly didn't suggest rye. As for being toasted, perhaps they briefly waved it near a heat source just long enough to dry the bread out slightly, as though it had been left on the counter for a few hours. I assembled it myself and gave it a fair shot. The corned beef did, in fact, pass as corned beef. The kraut was acceptable. But even a DIY reconstruction couldn't save the long list of small things that could have made this a proper Reuben instead of what felt like an appetizer-sized sandwich. Now, I do have to mention the large pretzel with mustard and beer cheese from the appetizer menu. The pretzel had a decent bite to it, but it wasn't quite warm. In fact, it had the distinct personality of something that may have spent just slightly less time in the microwave than it should have. Not cold exactly, but not the warm, chewy, certainly not the freshly baked experience one hopes for from a German biergarten. The beer cheese actually stood on its own--though you do have to pay extra for the tiny cup. The pretzel itself, however... I hate to say it, but sprinkle a little sugar on it and you've basically got a funnel cake. I'd say "you're not fooling anyone," but apparently you are. My suspicion--though I could be wrong--is that the establishment caters more to people who want to drink beer while examining the structural engineering of push-up corsets and lederhosen. This $15 sandwich belongs in a gas station cooler in a plastic clamshell for $5.99, not at a place identifying itself as a German biergarten. I'll give one star for the delivery driver and one star for correctly following the deconstruction request. But that's about all I can do. I've seen some good reviews for King's BierHaus at this location, so I would hate to think--though I can't entirely dismiss the possibility--that delivery orders might receive a little less care than dine-in meals.
