    Rolls and cinnamon butter
    Tracy B.

    Family dinner time. We were seated right away and asked for the hot, fresh bread and butter--it was great. Sadly, I didn't get a photo of the fried mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce, but they were really delicious--crispy and gooey logs of fried cheese. The fried pickles with ranch dipping sauce were also quite tasty. The service was decent, and everyone in our group was happy with the meal. Everything was fine overall--nothing too extraordinary, but a nice evening out.

    This place is a gem. Excellent food, huge portions, and the service was wonderful. I can highly recommend this family owned gem in a world of chains; do yourself a favor, go at at Hofbrau!

    13.99 cfs special with loaded baked potato
    Jeremy T.

    I swear I had been here before many years ago, but it's been so long so I came back when I was in the area for a late lunch. Luckily they have lunch everyday until 4pm. The exterior is like a large cabin in the woods. You park in a lot east of the restaurant and cross a bridge over a ditch and get to the main lot where the building is located. Inside, the interior is like a roadhouse with a lot of exposed wood and signs plastered all over every wall. Some are advertisements, some are catchy slogans, some are funny license plates. Either way, it's a lot to look at before waiting for the food to come out. I ordered the lunch chicken fried steak special for 13.99. They actually have 4 different chicken fried steaks, the difference is the size and quality of meat. The 13.99 does not use Nolan Ryan beef, but you supposedly can't tell the difference. The 3 larger sizes do. The largest size, a Texas size cfs is supposedly 10 oz. All come with 1 side, so I chose loaded baked potato for 1.99 more. All the meals come with a homemade yeast roll, whether you're here for lunch or dinner. When the food came out, it looked nicely sized and delectable. After taking a few bites, I started to realize that it was just way too much breading. The steak is pounded thin, and I do like some breading, but when it's just overwhelming and you can barely taste the meat, then you know its too much. So, I would either recommend ordering a larger version, or just skipping and ordering something else. Service was excellent as it should be at an off time, when I visited and there were only a handful of other customers, if that.

    Ribeye tips with mash potatoes., very satisfying.
    Judith P.

    Wow I had no idea this delicious place was so close to us. This restaurant is in Porter and I was blow away as to how good it is. The BOIDAN BALLS Were amazing!! I forgot to take a photo of them because we were too busy indulging. The fried catfish was so crispy and not oily at all. The same with the fried shrimp. I got the fried catfish and fried shrimp platter. My boyfriend got the ribeye tips and he said they were so good. The atmosphere was spot on the hill country ambience. I recommend you guys give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    Cold beer! Awesome service! Will defiantly be back!

For Houston Restaurant Weeks, they're offering a 4-course dinner for only $39, and when I tell you it is a GREAT value... whew! The portions are generous and you are definitely not leaving hungry! My choices were: 1st Course: Bourbon Glazed Bacon 2nd Course: Dinner Salad 3rd Course: Salmon Bianca with Brussels sprouts 4th Course: Cheesecake EVERYTHING was delicious! The Bourbon Glazed Bacon was thick-cut, sweet, smoky and so good. The Salmon Bianca was another winner with that lemon butter sauce on top. By the time dessert came around, I was STUFFED! I had so much food left that I had lunch for the next day. Everyone in our group really enjoyed their meals, and it made my uncle's 80th birthday celebration even more special.

We shared the boneless buffalo wings to start, and then we ordered two medium ribeyes and a pulled-pork platter. Unfortunately, both steaks came out well-done instead of medium, so we had to send them back. I'm really glad they were willing to redo them, but for a place that specializes in steaks, you'd hope they'd get that part spot-on the first time. Aside from that hiccup, the service was fantastic, they are super friendly and attentive, which made the experience much better. All in all, some great moments, but hoping for a bit more consistency next time, especially with the steaks.

Sadly, that was where the good times ended. The decor is an eclectic mix of studio pictures from the attached photography studio. Random yet quaint. The hilarity of brown paper bags stuffed with white claws at the other tables lent a certain added character to the eatery. Certainly interesting. It is a BYOB establishment so you will be left drinking canned sodas or tea. Not a huge issue, but certainly sad. We ordered the lobster bisque as an appetizer. Fishy. I'm not afraid of fishy but I fully expect lobster to be sweet and the bisque to add a burst of creaminess. It was very obviously not fresh lobster. For entrees we ordered the lobster Mac and Cheese and the Blackened Stuffed Flounder. First, the lobster was no less fishy in the Mac and Cheese which was bland and not very flavorful. Secondly, the flounder was a huge disappointment. It wasn't blackened so didn't have that familiar character flavor profile. It was soft throughout. Like a pile of bland mush with zero flavor or texture. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't previously frozen and possible microwaved. To fail on all levels beyond the service is inexplicable. Sadly, this will not be on the rotation of wonderful restaurants to visit in the Kingwood area.

Noah's service was top-notch! He was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered the 20 oz. Ribeye and the 8 oz. Sirloin. The 20 oz. ribeye seemed a bit smaller than usual, but the food was still great. The mashed potatoes were definitely the standout side dish. If I had one piece of feedback, it would be that the floor in our booth and the seats were covered in bread crumbs.

However, the person who swept seemed to have a bit of a bad attitude, though she did take care of it promptly. It was very busy, so perhaps the staff was stretched thin. On a positive note, our waitress was very attentive and kind, which we truly appreciated. They also brought out a complimentary ice cream sundae for my dad's birthday, which was such a sweet touch.

My entire experience from start to finish was just perfect and well executed by the staff. I made reservations since I wasn't sure how difficult it would be to get a table. Upon entering....the restaurant only seemed half full but by the time I left, nearly every table was full. We were actually seated in a decent spot toward the rear of one section at a 2 top so it was nice and quiet. We started off with the oyster appetizer which seemed strange but turned out to be actually really good. The oysters were probably the east coast variety as they're visually smaller and better quality than gulf oysters. They seemed more steamed than roasted. I prefer chargrilled when cooking them but this was definitely an interesting take on an oyster appetizer that I'm glad I tried. For the entrees, we tried the filet with eggplant fritters and the Chilean seabass. Filet - this is a 6oz portion from Gourmet Ranch, but very tasty, cooked perfectly and of course tender. It seemed to be prepared with a dry indian spice rub. The menu didn't indicate it, but the filet already comes with the truffle mashed potatoes and you can choose 1 additional side. The eggplant fritters were very tasty, especially when dipping them in the red sauce. Note: The menu indicates you receive a choice of sauces with your steak (madras curry or kashmiri chili chimichurri) but the waitress didn't ask and just brought the chimichurri, which isn't spicy. I probably would have selected that one anyway. Seabass - The seabass was definitely on the smaller side but it had a nice presentation. It comes with an orangish sauce, asked for it on the side, which we felt was similar to the curry gravy you receive at Malaysian restaurants when ordering the roti canai. I already had dessert plans somewhere else, so I didn't get a chance to see Amrina's dessert menu, but I would definitely return and try it on a future visit. There were no issues whatsoever the entire night. Everything was timed perfectly, everything tasted delicious, but this all comes at a cost. Mine was around 100/pp on this given night and that's with no alcohol.

To be honest, when I made the reservation we didn't reserve anything with the tapas menu but we went with it. We were sat near the bar giving us the view of the kitchen and asked to check out the menus. I did the vegetarian tapas and my husband did the non vegetarian tapas. I absolutely love Indian street food so this worked out. In order we recieved: Pani puri - the puris were crunchy, had some spice and the passionfruit topping was adding the tangy spice, delicious! It also had avocado and fruit which is so unique. Presentation was picture worthy! Papidi chaat- not one of my favorites but tasted pretty usual, I enjoyed the yogurt also giving it some tang. Bhel puri- tasted like your typical bhel puri but the topping placed on the top was very unique- made it seem a little more high end. Pok pok po - the presentation was very unique- I almost didn't understand the dog statue as seen in my photo but the food was still good! But I also learned that the chef has another sister restaurant downtown called Pok Pok Po mainly Indian style chicken. Paneer wrap- had some heat! The chutney was a good addition to the wrap Birthday chai bomb- there was a chocolate ball where you pour hot chai on top and it was delicious! Choice of popsicle- the last item- at this point we were extremely full, I picked the passion fruit popsicle and it was fresh and delicious! The presentation again didn't really make any sense to me. Overall- the tasting menu was actually a really good surprise and delicious! I wound highly recommend! The staff were great, the chef brought us one item and introduced himself- definetly felt like a special night.
