Restaurant is nice, but the crawfish is subpar. Let's those bad boys soak so they can get some flavor!

We visited family in Conroe and Korean BBQ was one of the planned outings. We're not new to the…read moreexperience and this place is better than some spots we have back home in Oceanside. Due to our large party of 9, we were seated at two tables separated by a low wall which was a good spot for purses, hats, etc. One table was new to the KBBQ experience. They really enjoyed it. The owner came by and helped with cooking, offering tips on the best way to handle meats on the grill. The equipment is better than what we've used. The griddle is a grate, allowing more of the foods to be in contact with the heat. (We're used to see the round grill with a solid surface and slits/openings on the perimeter.) The tongs are sturdy. The bbq exhaust is not fixed - it moves up/down so that it doesn't restrict maneuvering items on the grill. All these things, thoughtful in design for the best experience. Every spot on our table was covered with meats, side items. The food is very good. LA Galbi, Bulgogi (both Hawaiian and regular), Rib Eye Steak, Hawaiian Samgyepsal (pork), and plenty of sushi. If you like eggs, try the fluffy egg. Fried rice is always good choice. White rice works too if you want to savor the flavor of the marinated meats. The pricing is simple. No different levels for the types of meats. Service is top notch. There was always someone checking in. Everyone on staff is friendly. It was a great experience to share with the family. Side note: they have cute headbands with characters you can wear during your dining experience. Fun little thing for our group

Mi tía se acercó para preguntar si nos podíamos sentar en cualquier lugar o ellos nos iban a asignar a una mesa y la senorita la ignoró al principio y ya después le dijo que nos podemos sentar donde gustemos. Ya había gente en un lado del restaurante y una mesa grande ahí, pero mi familia y yo queríamos un poco más de privacidad y fuimos al otro lado del restaurante. En seguida, la senorita nos dijo que ya había una mesa grande pero nosotros juntamos una mesa para hacerle más grande. Cuando nos vio, fue a la cocina y vimos que se empezó a quejar con los otros empleados y se nos quedaban viendo y haciendo caras. Nosotros habíamos llegado esperando a probar un lugar nuevo con buenos reviews pero desde que entramos la energía estaba todo mal y si desde que nos sentamos nos estaban haciendo caras y hablando de nosotros, no nos queríamos imaginar cómo nos tratarían cuando ordenáramos. Mejor nos paramos y nos fuimos porque no vamos a aguantar un trato de ese tipo, especialmente de un hispano a otro. Cualquier otro tipo de buen review que tengan, mejor vallan para juzgar ustedes mismos porque que decepción de lugar, de trato y de personas.

Tonight, 3/5/26, we revisited The Red Brick Tavern, in Conroe for dinner…read more We walked in to some local talent on stage belting out song after song. At some point, we lost count on the songs, as one blended into another and each sounded just like the one before it. Hey, it was Thursday and he was a local putting himself out there for us to listen to. It's nice to have live entertainment during dinner and the background music was just background enough. Our seats were near the bar at the high top tables that gave a commanding view of the stage and bar area. The place was crowded for a Thursday night, filled with regulars enjoying the food and ambiance this century old building exudes in spades. Much like the breakfast menu we enjoyed a few weeks ago, our meals were almost identical. We both enjoyed the Reuben sandwich for our dinner. I personally wished it had more kraut, but the corned beef was tender and flavorful. I had added the sweet potato fried and we shared the cheesy fries as an appetizer. Cheesy fries do not do it justice. They were coated with more than enough cheese, accented with chopped onions and other herbs that added flavor and texture. Our waitress was wonderful and explained anything we had a question about during our meal order. I had an amber beer with dinner that really accented the reuben nicely. All in all, the dinner service was as enjoyable as our venture in there for breakfast. The Red Brick Tavern has now become a place we will go to more often ... not only for the food, but for the ambiance. Ciao, Darrell

I loved it. Tasted like the sonic lemon cream slushie. I drank the whole thing and it was worth the money for sure. We shared a gyoza appetizer, and it was great. They were perfectly crispy on the bottom with soft texture on top. The sauce was a bit sweeter than a normal gyoza sauce, but it was pretty good, and one member of our party really liked it. I got the Tonkatsu ramen, and it was better quality than your average American ramen! The chashu was perfect with a slight crisp to it, the noodles were springy, and I enjoyed the addition of the bok choy. It was also the perfect amount of food. I'm actually sad this isn't in my local area. I had a great meal here and would highly recommend.

It does come with a sauce which helps, but I wish the chicken itself was also seasoned. As for entree I ordered the spare rib ramen. Again, the fried spare ribs lacked seasoning, but the fry was well done. The ramen was very light, almost too light in my opinion for a true ramen broth. The chili oil they have though is delicious and improved the taste of the soup a lot.

The $20 ribeye special (12 oz with a side) is a standout deal that's honestly hard to beat. We sat inside near the bar, and the atmosphere struck a great balance--casual, a little lively, but still comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation without feeling crowded or rushed. I order my steak well done, which can be tricky, but they handled it the right way. The first one came out slightly under, and our server Madi addressed it immediately with no hesitation. What really stood out was her approach--professional, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. She even brought out a fresh serving of cilantro rice while I waited, which made a big difference. The second steak came out exactly right--flame-grilled, tender, and flavorful. The cilantro rice was fresh and well-seasoned, the fries were crispy, and the drinks were well balanced. We ended up staying after our meal just to relax, which says a lot about the overall experience. Great service, great value, and a place we'll definitely return to. Ask for Madi if you go--she made the experience seamless.

Our server was so nice, told us all about the building and some events they had coming up to check out. I had the chicken caeser salad but as a wrap, by far the best one Ive ever had. My husband had the steak salad; he also loved it. The homemade dressings were so good! Will for sure be back!
