Happy hour
HsiaoCheng W.

Went on Tomahawk Tuesday but saw no signage for the event at the place. Had to ask our waitress if it was even going on. So online they advertise tomahawk steak for $55 but waitress says it's $60. Sheesh. And it's also ala cart. Dang, for half that price I can hit a churrascaria and get an awesome pre-meat buffet to boot. I wanted to have a positive experience here, so I decided not to order it because I just sensed only disappointment would ensue. They also have a ribeye special Tuesday. Online they advertise for $18.99. But waitress said it's which is now $20.99! Yo!! Really starting to piss me off with the outdated prices online. They really need to update them! Mashed potatoes and side salad included. But if you agree to the loaded mashed potatoes it's an extra $2 (I only discovered this when the check came out). And the salad comes out pre-tossed so no way to control the amount of dressing on it. How was it? Tough AF. It looked really good but my kid couldn't even swallow the bites she cut off. She had to spit each one out eventually. I thought she was being totally ridiculous. So I tried it myself. Whelp she was right! every bite I felt like a cow chewing grass. Like the energizer bunny, chewing on and on and on. Like chewing gum. Then the final swallow was difficult because you just can't grind it down. WTF. There's a happy hour where chicken street tacos are $3 off the regular price. Buffalo fries and mozzarella bites as well as queso are discounted and some drink specials. 4-7 pm. We got the tacos and the meat was dry AF. I'm sorry I just really wanted to love it but it was so incredibly dry. Ain't no street taco I've ever had. Usually they're moist and greasy AF. Just the opposite here though. Staff is uniformed. My kid said it reminded her of twin peaks but I beg to differ. However they were more friendly than twin peaks staff. They have a couple of pool tables. Other games as well like corn hole toss. Many tv's. Private dining area. And an outdoor patio. Ambiance is nice. But food just sucks. Sorry. Maybe id come for drinks. And then once I'm drunk enough the food would be edible. But otherwise we wont be back for dinner again.

Nice spot with large TVs, indoor entertainment, and a patio area. Excellent for watching football. The fried pickles are great, the siracha ranch has a nice kick to it. The wings are large, and the buffalo mac is tasty. Large beer selection as well

From the cheeky puns, to the luscious lounge, expansive bar, games, and decor, this restaurant is surely a Woodlands standout. Apart from the that above, the weekly specials and happy hour seem worthy of the drive alone. Unfortunately, my excitement dwindled with the service and food. -We had to flag our waitress down numerous times -we were not given the option to try any beer before making a selection -the queso had an odd flavor and texture -the tacos were a Texas miss -the burgers/sliders-very good! -given the experience I skipped dessert (a rare sentence from this sweet tooth) All of that being said, maybe we experienced a one off. Either way, I wish them the best! I'll likely drop in again when I'm in the mood for a good slider!

Girl Dinner

Ambiance: Aesthetic bar & restaurant with a large center bar and a number of high top and regular seating options. Ale & Ivy offers arcade games, a large patio with ample seating, a lounge area, and themed events like weekly live music. Their food and drink options are great! The cocktails are always unique - although a bit pricey. I highly recommend their Thursday "Girl Dinner" which serves salad & French fries in a giant martini glass. The space does get crowded so I recommend planning ahead for large groups. Parking onsite. Friendly service and clean bathrooms. A great spot for socializing and hanging out!

Ivy and Ale is such a vibe! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and fun. The music was on point--great variety that added to the overall energy without being too loud. One of the things I really appreciated was the diverse crowd--young, older, in-between--it felt comfortable and welcoming for everyone. The space itself is super cute and thoughtfully designed. There's an open bar, TVs everywhere for the sports fans, cozy couches, and even an outdoor area if you want to hang outside. They also had basketball games going on, so there's a little something for everyone. We ordered a few things to share, and the food didn't disappoint. The smash burger? Absolutely amazing. The pizza? Off the chain. We also got the crawfish--price was very reasonable and the portion was great. The seasoning was a bit different than I'm used to--maybe turmeric?--so it wasn't my absolute favorite, but still solid (7/10 flavor-wise). Our waitress did forget our waters, but honestly, everything else was smooth, so it didn't throw the night off. Drinks were simple but good--I had a seltzer and my husband had a blackberry Sprite. The bar options are wide open, though, so next time we'll explore a bit more. All in all, Ivy and Ale is a strong 9/10 for me. Great food, fun energy, lots to do, and a perfect spot to unwind. Definitely planning to come back for brunch sometime soon!

Currently here for St Patrick's day and the hosts at the front were so unwelcoming and completely unhelpful. Sat multiple people who weren't on the waitlist not sure if they were their friends or they paid them money to get sat but extremely disappointed that this is my first time here and this is my first impression when I walked in the door. Green beer is always good tho ! Prob never coming back tho.

Backyard Sliders

I had a good experience at ale & ivy. The vibe was really nice, but the food was just ok. Service was good as well. I stopped into ale & ivy on a Thursday night. It was moderately busy, but there are a lot of tables (so don't worry about making a reservation). The ambiance was really nice. It was a large interior space with tables & lots of TVs. They had a lot of games (pool, karaoke room, corn hole, arcade games). The music was pretty good and a bit loud. A nice bar space :) I got the backyard sliders. They were ok. Nothing blew me away but it was pretty good. We also got the street corn dip & chips. It was a bit of an interesting presentation but tasted decent. Drinks were very good. I'd try something else if I came back here. But the ambiance was so great, I'll probably come back for happy hour with my coworkers.

We came here after a work team building event. The food here was surprisingly good given that I usually have low expectations of bar food. The chicken wings were my favorite as they were very generous in size and the ranch was extra delicious. The service was friendly and attentive. There's plenty of free parking. My coworkers have been here many times for the karaoke and I've heard that it's a blast. I'll have to come back for that next time.

Tuesday is Tomahawk steak night!

I've been going to Ale & Ivy since they opened. I go there for three reasons: great food (they are always improving their menu), great drinks (I've been all over the world and I've never had a better smoked old-fashioned - get the Mesquite smoked with an orange twist!), and one of their most experienced servers who has also been there since they opened: Karter. Karter makes you feel welcomed, she has great recommendations and friendly service. Whenever I come in, I ask to sit in her section. I brought a group of friends in to eat and all six of them commented on her professionalism and great energy. Ask for her!

Caesar
McCall S.

Great place! I love their wings and their Caesar salad. All of their food is absolutely delicious, it's the perfect kind of food you need for a late night! Service is usually good, If you're sitting at the bar either way, it may be my new favorite spot

Old fashioned
Allene N.

This salad is good and old fashioned amazingly good. Service is pretty good when it's not extremely packed

Good food and service! Recommend…read more We had a burger and ahi tuna both were great. We had a burger and ahi tuna both were great.

Why 4 stars? Because this was a great pre-concert choice…read more --- --- --- I bookmarked Local Public Eatery as soon as it opened and have wanted to check it out for a while now. I was going to a Dave Matthews show at the Pavillon and wanted to grab dinner beforehand, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity. I got to Market Street about an hour and a half before the concert started, and quickly became really nervous when I discovered the Market Street was apparently now Grand Central Station in New York City. Every human being on Earth was also here and the area was buzzing. After hunting forever, I finally got a parking spot and hustled down to the restaurant, only to be told it would be a 30 minute wait. Not good! However, just in the time it took me to sit down and scan through my phone for a last minute pivot to a new restaurant, my name was called. My 30 minute wait turned into a 5 minute wait and it could not have been more clutch. But because I was still in a bit of a hurry, I was ready and ordered the Trophy Burger as soon as my server came to greet me. And as was the theme of the night so far, said trophy burger was at my table within a few minutes. And because this was a solo mission for me, said trophy burger was in my belly in only about the time it took for them to cook it. My thoughts on the burger is that it was perfectly 4-stars. In between average and amazing. One thing that really stands out is that it was a messy undertaking. Don't eat this on a date before you're comfortable with the other person seeing you with sauce constantly all over your face and spilling onto your plate. Everything was all happening at such hyper speed that I even had time to order the dessert. I love Reeces, so when I saw a Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cup on the menu, I couldn't resist. You'll never believe it, but it was on my table within 2 minutes. My rating for this ranges from bite to bite. Some bites were amazing and others were just okay, depending on which ingredients were within that spoonful. Overall, I wouldn't need to order it again, but no regrets on trying it out. This is a nice addition to Market Street, and the back-of-house deserves a healthy share of the tips with how on top of it they were during a night with a packed house!

I visited here when I didn't know what to eat for dinner. This is a sports bar with a pretty large…read morefood menu and they even have daily specials. It is non-smoking, thankfully. They serve everything from apps, to soups (5 different kinds), salads, sandwiches, burgers and even larger entrees. If you want to splurge, they have 2 steaks that are around $28-30. They even make their own homemade potato chips. Some interesting dishes which you don't usually see at sports bars include: shrimp & crab fondue, jaegerschnitzle/spaetzle, and red fish fritters I originally came in for the burger, which is make your own, but after seeing they have a wing special on Mondays, I picked the wings. They're 10 bone in (or boneless) for only $10 and choose 2 sauces. I picked lemon pepper and mango habanero from among their 9 different sauces. I also added a beer on tap. They have 20 on tap currently. Wings - these were really good and meaty. You can tell they are fresh and likely even cut up back in the kitchen as they were various sizes and some were not cut quite properly. My fav was probably the mango habanero. It wasn't nearly as spicy as Wingstop, but nearly similar flavor. The lemon pepper are pretty good, just not quite as great. Service was pretty good as I was checked on several times by the bartender. Overall, this is a pretty good place to grab a casual meal, or watch some sports with your buddies.

This is a great sports bar with great food. I've tried the burgers the wings; they have schnitzel…read more I've tried the steak fingers, chicken fried steak, nachos. It's all good. They have a full bar and the white staff is friendly and attentive. You can't go wrong at Ronny G's !!
