Concan Shrimp
Kristina G.

Food was delicious! We tried nothing but apps because it was an apps kinda night...did not disappoint. Shrimp were delicious, bacon cooked perfect, grilled onion...very tasty! Mac & cheese balls w/brisket...need I say more? Yum! We ordered the pretzel...lemme tell I don't live in Cypress but willing to drive to Cypress for this damn pretzel, it was that good! Stuffed tater tots were very good, just wished there were more! We were expecting a basket of messy greasy goodness and got a more refined version, but still delicious! Beer was great, nice and cold...Grace was our bar tender and she was awesome...let us try samples before making our selections on beer. She made us her Grace special original Pixie shots...did not disappoint! Ambiance was laid back...sat at the bar and enjoyed live band across the way right after. Will definitely be back...if for nothing else, that pretzel!

This place is loaded with atmosphere and I felt good walking in. Now this might sound a bit crazy, but I love picking up my cutlery and finding that it actually has some heft to it, and that's what I got with my knife and fork. LOL Mr. Picky really liked his shrimp tacos and I thought that his chili rice and black beans were really excellent when I stole bites off of his plate. I ordered the stuffed chicken fried chicken and was very pleasantly surprised. They substituted sides for me so I had green beans (very fresh and flavorful) and onion rings with it. Although I'm not usually a lover of white meat chicken, I actually found this to be moist enough to eat, I liked the Gouda stuffed inside and the outer coating was fried beautifully crisp. I particularly liked the gravy that they used and asked for extra so if you order this do the same. It had a nice peppery aftertaste and I asked if it was the same gravy that they use on their chicken fried steak. It is. For dessert we shared the sooapilla, strawberry and whipped pie thing, and bread pudding. Hands down, the moist warm bread pudding with ice-cream was by far the best. Overall, this was an enjoyable dining experience and we'll definitely plan on heading back. (Brunch on Sundays only.). Based on dining, it should be rated higher than a "3.6" so give it a shot when you're in the mood for some down-home cooking.

Really enjoyed lunch at Frio. Stellar service by Steve! He really was the highlight of our visit. Very attentive and food was prompt. Hamburger was grilled exactly as ordered. Chicken strips were perfect as was Caesar salad and yummy Mac n Cheese. We had some littles with us so loved the outdoor play area. It was a little early for a cold brew but it appeared this would be a fun night spot as well. Overall great service, strong menu and fun!

The food and service have been great each time we come here. The atmosphere is very comfortable and spaced out so that you don't feel like you are sitting at the other table next to you.

Okay maybe it isn't a solid 5, but it is a lot better than a 3.7! This restaurant is sooo Texas. It is quirky. Fried pickles and chicken fried steak sandwiches, a dessert called the Texas State Fair with fried oreos twinkies and snickers bars, and mystery cans of beer for $2.50! In these days of corporate similitude I have to salute a restaurant who will deep fry a twinky or two. Service was excellent. Mystery beer was "three on the tree lager" out of Blanco TX. They built it to look rustic.

Been here a couple of times and I've been happy both times! And both times I got the French toast…read moresandwich. It's always delicious with the different sauces. Also, I love their potatoes. It's always busy when I go there and when I went on a Saturday, parking was hard to find in the parking lot. But there is street parking and a church next door that has parking. Can't wait to go back to try something new!

We ordered the Breakfast Burrito, Benedict Buenos, and Chicken Fried Chicken & Eggs, and all of the food was great. The teas were also really good. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. It felt like we were being rushed, which was frustrating considering we made a reservation and waited just like everyone else. Our server's demeanor came across as rude at times, although it's possible she may have been new. For example, when she asked if we were ready to order, we began listing our items, but she abruptly told us to hold on because she wasn't ready. Later, when I finished my tea, she informed me that refills would cost extra, which I didn't mind paying for, but the way it was communicated felt unnecessarily harsh. To add to that, when I tried to pay with Apple Pay, her card reader wasn't working properly, and instead of resolving it at the table, she asked me to get up and pay at the front register. Overall, the food was excellent, but the service and communication could use improvement. A more welcoming and patient approach would make a big difference in the overall experience.

It's got chickens, goats, a pig, ducks, herb garden, a small pond, a country store and plenty of shady trees to roam around while you wait for your table. The food is good and for the most part, it's ala carte. And that can add up pretty quickly.

Unique farm to table place in town !…read more Gear up with patience because this place will not serve quick. I recommend to choose indoor sitting only. We all know the Houston weather, it doesn't get any cooler. Although, at the patio, you can see curious chickens roaming around your tables, which is cute and entertaining. We sat in a hot day of July, in the patio. I drank enough melted iced water for the whole week. Service was super caring. Many check-ins, many reassurances that she didn't forget our orders. My friend and I were having the best time in catching up. Food was lean. Smoothies tasted so good. My friend loves their coffee there. I wish I had the energy to visit the surroundings of the restaurant. But given how hot it was, I had to leave this for another day. Parking isn't the easiest but keep in mind this is a popular spot! I really appreciate this unique concept to remind us where the food comes from. Highly recommend, as long as you have a lot of patience !

We decided to try this place out for the first time because we were in the area and wanted to dine somewhere with good vegetarian or vegan options. If you're dining in, check in with the host/hostess and they will tell you where you will be seated. You will be given a "ticket" to take to the counter to place your order. After you place your order, your food will be brought out to your designated table. We had a very enjoyable brunch at Harvest and will definitely come back next time we're in Katy.

I have to start with the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza because it was literally AMAZING. We ordered it…read moreas an appetizer, and it ended up being the best thing on the table. It was even better than I imagined it would be, and I would absolutely go back just for that pizza! Unfortunately, my actual entrée left a lot to be desired, and after one bite I ended up sending it back. The staff handled it well, though, and everyone was friendly and attentive. One of the fun touches here is the serving robots that bring food out to the tables. Definitely something different and entertaining to watch! Overall, we had a good experience despite my entrée not working out. Great service, a fun atmosphere, and seriously--get the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza!

The location itself has a really nice view of the lake with plenty of outdoor seating available. Our server, Chase, was fantastic! She took wonderful care of us throughout our meal, keeping everything running smoothly despite how busy it was. The food overall was enjoyable. We tried the deviled eggs, which were just okay and didn't quite live up to what I was hoping for. However, the Philly eggrolls were delicious! We also ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp, which is an absolute favorite of mine from my usual home location in Memorial. My biggest critique of this location comes down to those three-tiered motorized robot servers. Personally, I'm really not a fan. I feel like they cheapen the dining experience rather than elevate it. I don't quite understand the point when a human server--often just whichever nearby staff member happens to be passing by, rather than your actual server--still has to take the food off the tray and place it on your table. It ends up feeling inconsistent and impersonal. I know AI and tech are here to stay and I embrace it where it fits, but we have to ask ourselves: does this actually enhance the customer experience? In my opinion, it doesn't, and those bots must have cost a pretty penny!It's truly a shame to have stellar, personal service from someone like Chase alongside good food, only for the overall experience to feel just "fair" because of a robot cart delivering dishes. I definitely prefer my home location in Memorial. It's smaller, quieter, much easier to park, and thankfully isn't running robot servers (at least not yet!). While it was a fun outing with a great view, I'll likely stick closer to home for my regular visits.
