This has happened on more than one occasion - when menu items would be unavailable - but never to the extent of today. The staff is no help either. I finally gave up on the app and called.

When we arrived, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially considering the large group we brought. They took our orders quickly, the food came out at a nice pace, and the restaurant itself was clean and well-kept. I ordered the French Dip. It was not the worst I have had, but definitely not the best either. The baguette was softer than I expected, and I prefer sturdier bread since the au jus usually makes it soggy. The roast beef was also a little dry, although dipping it in the au jus helped with that. On the side, I chose the potato salad, which was very good. It was seasoned well, the potatoes were cooked perfectly, and it had a refreshing flavor that balanced out the creaminess of the mayo-based sauce and the heaviness of the sandwich. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but the food did not leave a lasting impression. It was good for a casual meal with a group, though I would not go out of my way to come back on my own.

However the yucca both fried and con mojo lacked flavor. I had the pernil asado and it was moist and well seasoned. I also enjoy my congris but was a little disappointed when I had to salt my yucca con mojo bc it lacked flavor. It just tasted like boiled yucca. That would be my only complaint in regard to the food. The service started off good and they were very friendly. However it took forever to get our check as it seemed like there were only 2 waitresses but only one of them could take orders and produce the bill. It would be better not to have to wait so long when you're ready to go. With that being said I would still come back!

Prices were high on the Cuban sandwich 18$ for a Cubano and fries should be $12. Also, $9 for fries yucca (5 sticks), should be $5 max, other than that it was great.

You just don't see that often and I wanted to try it. The stars aligned and my family and I met up here for a weeknight dinner. Alvin is the true definition of a small town. It is just south of Pearland and life moves a little slower out here. Atleast for time being as it is becoming more developed now. The building itself is old and full of character. Everyone seemed to know each other. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, but service was a tad bit slow at times. My family isn't a big drinking family so we stuck with water and sodas, but they have quite a nice bar program here. They have a really impressive beer selection, a long list of specialty cocktails and lots of wine to choose from. I'm definitely coming back to check that out without the fam. For appetizers, we got an order of the scotch eggs and the Bavarian pretzel sticks. This was my first introduction to scotch eggs and a wonderful one at that. You really can't go wrong with anything wrapped in sausage and deep friend. It was a nice treat and something I will not be sharing next time. The pretzels were also very good. Our waitress suggested some cheese sauce to accompany those. These sticks of goodness were excellent. For my entree, I was stuck on a few items as their menu is pretty extensive. Our waitress said my option for the Pork Milanesa was the way to go, so I did. I've had milanesa at Mexican restaurants, but never in a tavern nor prepared this way. This was hand battered in panko and then topped with a mushroom gravy. It comes with broccoli and mashed potatoes but I substituted the veggie for mac and cheese. This dish was very good and the portions were very generous. Enough for me to have a full second meal minus the sides. The pork was thinly pounded and kept it's crunch even doused in gravy. The gravy was rich and very delicious. My family got a mix of items like the philly cheese steak, flat iron steak salad, tavern salad, and chicken fried steak. For research purposes and for my loyal readers, I tried everything. There wasn't anything that was bad to me. We were full so desserts didn't happen on this trip. Overall, Gordon Street Tavern is a solid spot that I would happily return to if in the area.

Mr Freak (owner and a very friendly guy) and I hate that I don't have great, positive things to say about his meat but, I'm always honest with reviews (as I see it, eat it) He let me taste the boudin he had just prepared; umm no brother that's NOT boudin the way French people make it. It was a bit spicy but, it was just mushy w/a chunk of smoked meat (I think) was chicken but, I didn't ask. I tasted sliced smoked peppered turkey which was great. I tasted jalapeno cheese sausage - greasy-overcooked. I was embarrassed but buy anything because Mr Freak and his female employee were so nice, so I randomly picked 1 smoked boneless chicken breasts to go. $15 (huge) When I got home I broke it down to package for lunch and lawd it was dry as bone. What's the deal man; are you overcooking it OR has it been sitting under a lamp all day(s)? Mr Greak is from Rosharon TX and being a country guy he should know how to smoke meats by default, no? I should have bought the smoked turkey because the 3 other meats were a thumbs down. I can see why the freezers are full

Mistakes happen, and I understand that, but when I politely pointed it out, she simply stared at me without offering any solution. There were also quite a few gnats in the dining room. The food itself was very good, but the drinks were not. Today, we asked if we could sit on the patio. We waited about 15-20 minutes, and during that time, I observed four staff members walking out the front door toward the alley. One was vaping, another was making out with a man, and the others appeared to just be wandering around. Meanwhile, no one came out to assist us. I also have to mention the dress code. This is a family-oriented environment, and I personally don't understand why a $32 steak needs to be served with a side of butt cheeks. There is a difference between wearing something comfortable and appropriate for work and wearing something that seems unnecessarily revealing in a family dining setting. The food has been good both times, but unfortunately, the service and overall experience was no good.

She was awesome. Everyone loved their food. I had the Big Breakfast again and had the same banana pecan pancakes I ordered during my last visit but this time I got jalapeno bacon as my protein and hashbrowns instead of grits. The bacon was SO GOOD and was full of jalapeno flavor but minus the spice. I could've eaten a couple more slices of that goodness. It was crispy, a tad bit burnt but again it was so good. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. I also made sure to get plenty of strawberry butter this time and I slathered it all over my pancake and biscuit.
