Steak
Keisha R.

No issues. We went on steak night and it was surprisingly so good. Cooked perfectly. The butter on top was amazing. The guy out front on the grill did an excellent job. The sweet corn is amazing. A little hard as in undercooked but good. Sweet flavor. Good priced drinks and shots. Male waiter was good. No issues there. It's a chill vibe. Games at the tables. A lot of tvs. I'll come back here to watch games.

I used to visit CT's location in the energy corridor plenty of times because it was down the street from my job. We were looking for a good HH spot on the fly so we came here. The HH menu seems confusing for the bartender. She gave us the QR code but it only brought up reverse HH which isn't the same as the daytime HH, which I thought was strange. And FYI, according to the bartender, there's no food offerings on the regular HH menu, unlike at night. But why not, so stupid if it's true. Anyway, outside of that foolishness, she was a pretty good bartender. Service was good, it wasn't even remotely close to full when we went but even with the 20 or so ppl sitting at the bar, it wasn't hard to get her attention. I'd return but we need some clarification on these HH menu, offerings and prices.

Ohio State Menu

OH-IO!!!!! Let's go Team! Tailgate time.... Let's go OH, Let's go!!!! Christian's tailgate is the place to officially watch The OHIO state football. We went for the Ohio vs. University of Michigan game and had a great experience. I called a head and spoke to Shane. Super nice and very knowledgeable! We got there super early and as soon as we were seated we were greater with great customer service by Jay! He was our amazzzing server! Super attentative and always checked on us! Even with all the excitement, he never left us hanging. Parking: Get there early. Parking is fierce. We got there an hour early and there were only a few spots left. Music: DJ is just okay. Music could be turned up a notch or two. Not in volume, but in hypeness. The music didn't consistent keep the crowd walking. It would be good to play dance music (e.g. line dances, etc during the intermission and half time). Ber Service: Definitely could use more bar tenders for the amount of people in here. But the drinks were good! We ordered off the Ohio State Special Drink Menu! We had the Ohio Mule and the Brutus Chiller. They were tasty, but I think they ran out of the Banana Rum, the second Brutus Chiller tasted off. So we sent it back for a different drink. Food: For appetizers, we ordered Fried Pickelss and Mozzarella Sticks. For our main course, we ordered the Bacon, Bacon Burger and the Buffallo Chicken Sandwich with half onion rings, half French fries. I should've ordered onion rings, the frieds were not the best. The Bacon Bacon Burger was good. The Buffalo Chicken Sandwich needed a bit of work, but I guess is what you can get for bar food. It is basically 2 Chicken tenders dipped in Buffalo Sauce and placed in a dry non-toasted Bun. Altogether, it's a cool place to tailgate. Feels like you are with the team on game day!

This was my first time going, the service was pretty decent and the drinks specials were amazing. They have a happy hour and a reverse happy hour. The food was good as well I asked for the best burger they had and that's what they delivered. Not noisy as all, not a lot of people. A nice quiet bar with decent music, if you're looking for something quick this is what I recommend.

We are fortunate to have had Christians Tailgate host my daughter's draft party. The whole experience, from start to finish, was beyond spectacular. The ENTIRE staff is so friendly and kind. They made for one unforgettable night. At Christians Tailgate, they don't miss! Appetizers, drinks, food, and games made for an amazing experience and a memorable night. Did I mention the patio? Open space with TVs, games, and great furniture. And, the burgers...DELISH...#iykyk

Solid neighborhood sports bar with plenty of tvs. Tried the chicken fried steak and it was pretty tasty with my choice of sides (I chose jalapeno mac and cheese, onion rings, and added green beans). Overall it was a great place to watch the Astros win.

Out front patio

**3.5 stars** I was surprised to see that a Christian's Tailgate popped up & took over the old Amazon Grill location a few weeks ago. I had only been to the Heights location once and remembered enjoying their burger my first go around (and since the new front patio looked so inviting), I decided to give it a try. I'm glad we got there early because once the place started filling up, our waitress became very inattentive. It took us forever to get our check and then for her to run our cards. I can only assume the lack of waitstaff is due to their newness and that they are still trying to fill their roster. As for the food: Started off with their Queso, Chips & salsa which were both ok; good but nothing special. Unfortunately the chips were WAY TOO SALTY, crazy salty, so next time I would definitely ask for unsalted chips. Their "small" 1/3 pound burger was not what I would call a small burger, it was plenty big enough to fill me up......especially since all their burgers come with fries (with an option to upgrade to rings for a $1 up charge.) But as for my burger, it was on the bland side (maybe because they forgot to add cheese I asked for) but the patty itself just didn't have much of a flavor. And I thought it was weird she asked my friend how they wanted their burger cooked yet neglected to ask me how I wanted mine prepared. I liked the batter on the onion rings however the fries where as bland as they could have be with absolutely zero seasoning. The article in HP (Houston Press) said it considered Christian's to be another "breast-araunt" addition to the neighborhood which apparently means family friendly sports bars. They had 2 arcade games for the kiddos and have plans to add a playground in the back soon. As for as it being claimed to be one of the "best burgers in Htown, far from it. I'll come back to give it another shot, let them get fully staffed and let all the kinks get worked out. I would've loved to enjoy the beautiful day out on their patio but we all know how Kirby traffic can be. May I suggest trying to construct some type of sound or plant barrier along the front patio to diminish some of the traffic noise. The Pros: -LOTS of TVs for you game lovers -Good local tap beer selection -Daily Specials -Nice Sunny front patio -Kid Friendly -Good Menu selection

O-H! I-O! For the second year in a row we crashed CT's alumni party for the big OSU v Michigan game. SO. MUCH. FUN. we might as well have been on campus. Half the cars in the parking lot had Buckeye license plates or stickers, and inside was a sea of scarlet and grey. The game was on every single TV (and synced perfectly - audio too - which was impressive) and the place exploded with every single down. The live DJ was a special treat who played old school/party jams during commercials. $15 buckets, Buckeye drink specials, and $2/3 shots every time they scored made for a rowdy crowd! But, for the most part, it was slightly older crowds - some with kids (there is a little playground outside) - so nothing too crazy. I ordered off the extensive tap list and our wonderful waitress kept em coming. We chowed down on wings and fried pickles, both of which I'd order again. The pickles were cut into fries which I'd never seen before but made total sense. The only thing I could thing to enhance the situation would be some kind of shout out to each graduating class; could be fun to give a free beer to the oldest/youngest alumni for example, but primary to connect classes. My husband kept looking around on the slight chance he might recognize someone. (Now, I realize tens of thousands of people graduate every year, but still.) SEE YA NEXT YEAR!

I just had beverages here as I was watching MSU basketball. They were very kind and switched one of their TVs just for me. Thankyou!

Friendly clean bar with loads of TV's Taryne our waitress…read morewas lovely - attentive without overdoing it - kept us hydrated had the cob salad which was excellent

We stopped by Social Beer Garden HTX for St. Patrick's Day and had a really good time. We went in…read morethe early afternoon, and the atmosphere was already lively without being overly crowded, which made it easy to relax and enjoy everything. The ambiance was great for the holiday they had themed drinks and specials going on, which added a fun touch and made it feel festive without being chaotic. Definitely a solid spot if you're looking for somewhere social but still comfortable. The drinks were good, and overall the vibe was on point. It felt like a place you could hang out for a while, whether you're there to celebrate something or just have a few drinks with friends. One thing to note is they don't serve food, I did hear they rotate food trucks at times, but none were there when we went which was a bit of a downside, but they did allow us to bring in outside food, which honestly made up for it and gave us more options. Parking wasn't too bad when we went, and since it wasn't super packed, everything felt smooth and easy. Overall, great vibes, good drinks, and a fun place. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a casual hangout or social night out.
