This place has the best food ever. And to top it off the service is best than anywhere we have gone to. Our server was Allie I believe. Everyone was great. We have been going there for years. Best chicken fried steak and fried fish and shrimp ever. Keep up the great work. Don't change a thing. Please. Kathy and Daron read more

First time visiting this place and it was very good. It is very cozy and unique. The service is also pretty quick. They have free bread rolls with cinnamon butter and these were so pillowy and delicious. The menu is reasonably priced as well. I ended up splitting a 15 ounce New York strip steak with my husband and it was plenty of food for $40. We ordered the temp medium and I will say it was more like medium rare, but it was still yummy. Very flavorful although could be more tender. The jalapeño hush puppies are soo good. Would come back here read more

Delicious and those rolls! Yum! Went here for the first time for Mother's Day. Everyone enjoyed the meal. Will definitely return.

The place smells as bad as the food tastes! If you like overpriced, over cooked food then go to Hofbrau! The waitstaff is subpar as well. I will never go back again. The prices are set at a 4 star price and I find that laughable. read more

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! read more

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. read more

I like their steaks and everything they make my favorite is the mixed vegetables they put them on the grill they're really good I'm vegetarian so it's up to other people if they don't like vegetables but I always take mine when I was a kid.. Nothing to say bad about them they are always happy in great Service... read more

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. read more

Hofbrau Steaks - 13.99 cfs special with loaded baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Porter, Texas

Great food and service!! I LOVE their lemonade and rolls. They also play great music :-)

We recently moved into the area and hadn't been to Hofbrau in several years. Prices tend to be higher than our normal choice but the quality and quantity explain the price. I'd call it a big serving that could feed two easily. We each had to go leftovers for a meal at home. Service was excellent as numerous staff checked on us and refilled beverages. read more

Great food and awesome service! First time visitor, will definitely be back. We tried a few different things. For apps we had- Queso, Southwestern Egg rolls and boudin balls. All were great, but we wish we got more boudin balls. They were so good! For main- chicken fried steak and the fried shrimp, Both were great and took a lot home because we ordered so much. Oh, the rolls were good too! Nothing went wrong and no complaints. read more

Entrance smelled like smoke. We should have left then. Just ordered a burger but meat was premade and frozen, onions were soggy, fries were also frozen and tasted like old vegetable oil. The waiter disappeared and took a while to get our ticket. Lastly, the cats! Four cats at the main entrance on our way out. Definitely will not be going back. read more

This place serves quality food hot and fresh every time. It has been a go to for our family for years. The service is awesome too!

The Chicken Fried Chicken is HOLY! This is the first place that has ever gotten me to wanna come back specifically for Chicken and gravy. The brown Gravy was amazing, like this is the only place to ever get the gravy right for me. I absolutely loved my food, 6/5 Stars. And our server "Dailys" was also amazing, awesome service and was always checking on us! As well as they have a ton of cool decorations around the place. I was looking for the country food and atmosphere, boy did they deliver! read more

The food was good, the service was quick, and the atmosphere was definitely family-friendly. I might not go out of my way to eat there again, but if I were in the area, I'd go back. read more

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. read more

I love Hoffbrau however am totally disappointed the they ruined Fathers Day for me when the would not do take out orders...will have to rethink eating here anymore. read more

Saw an old review that said smoking allowed... no longer true if it ever was. We have talked about visiting this location for almost 3 years. Finally did today. Not an upscale steakhouse but really good. The decor is mancave gone crazy. Good menu and plenty of options. Our server was Phillip and he was great. Friendly, appropriately attentive and efficient. I got an 8oz Sirloin with green beans and onion rings. My steak was thick cut, very lean and perfectly grilled. Everything fried was delicious! Diana ordered fried sirloin tips with jalapeño hush puppies and fries. We both loved our choices. Diana is highly allergic to all seafood and Phillip double-checked and assured us that seafood has a seperate fryer and she had NO issues! Our food was served fast, hot & delicious. Overall a great experience. We enjoyed ourselves and did not break the bank. $50 before tip.we will definitely return! read more

I came in here looking for the Ribeye sandwich. Alas, the Yelp menu is obsolete and the item is no longer available. Still, it's a good place. read more

Everything went well. Definitely recommend .Food is fantastic and so are the staff. Clean restaurant.

I was just there with a large group and we were all pleased with our food and service. Most of us had chicken fried chicken and fried fish. My chicken and gravy was delicious. read more

Is anything fresh? Was the resounding question at the table. My neighbor decided that she wanted to celebrate here for an accomplishment. I guess she had fond memories of what this steakhouse used to be. To be honest the most I see this parking lot with traffic is during sports events. We walked in on a week night and it was roughly 20 people in the whole place. The orders were chicken fried chicken, steak bites with gravy on the side and a chicken tender basket. Everything came out barely warm, but the "gravy" was piping hot. They gave an extra baked potato instead of a an extra vegetable option as ordered. The chicken tenders were gummy and you could tell they were right out of the freezer. The chicken fried chicken, ended up being chicken fried STEAK. Even with that the waitress told my neighbor she simply "ordered wrong". So much for customer service. Her chicken fried steak was huge, but cold and could taste freezer, and bland. However the gravy was what was warm. Which leads me to believe they prep and freeze everything. When ordered heat it up and put hot gravy on things to make it seem fresh. This place is far from an authentic steakhouse, and according my neighbor not at all what it used to be. GROSS!! read more

Excellent service, Logan and Dia are the Best!! They deserve 10 stars for their service given with my party for over 16 people. They were absolutely on their game! And A+++ to the chef the food was delicious . everyone has called to tell me that they will definitely be returning to the restaurant. This is a nice is hidden treasure we have in Porter Texas. Love everything about Hofbrau!!! read more

My wife & I took a group from our Bible Study group after church recently. They had our table set up on time and provided great service throughout the meal. Everyone enjoyed their individual dishes. read more

Service was excellent but the food was sub par at best. Salad did not have cheese like it shows in pictures and the baked potato didn't come w bacon even though it also shows it w bacon. We had the ribeye tips w onions and mushrooms and the flavor of that was the best part. I hate when places skimp on ingredients but still charge a pretty price for the item. $5.99 for a fully loaded potato is worth it when it actually comes fully loaded! I will not be returning to this place due to lack of value! read more

Atmosphere was nice but we weren't impressed with the steaks at all! Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. I might give this place a second chance but I don't think I would order steak again. read more

Bartender Phillip is the best! Knowledgeable and quick, always have a good experience at the barZ

Good chicken friend steak! Haven't ate here in years forgot how much I was missing out. Yummy food.

Not what I expected for the price and service wasn't that great either. I have eaten at another location in Houston that was so much better. Was very disappointed. Sorry guys, but we won't be back read more

Food was great. Waitress incredible. Good vibes and best spot we've been to in the Porter area. Went out with great folks and had the fried catfish. Prices were even pretty reasonable, and again the food quality was excellent. We will definitely be back soon. If you're near Porter and Hwy 1314 stop by. You'll be happy that you did. read more

Hofbrau Steaks - Fried Catfish & Baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Porter, Texas

Good service, love the atmosphere! But... I got a simple Ribeye steak, (I'm something of a steak connoisseur) and it was disappointing. The steak itself was a decent piece of meat, but prepared and cooked horribly. First off, they only lightly seasoned one side of the steak. Then a very light sear (enough to get grill marks on the face, but leaving the steak a light gray). Then the steak was VERY obviously just stuck in an oven until at temp which made for an extremely bland, chewy steak, and definitely not worth $36. I can cook up an infinitely better steak for half that price and a trip to HEB. The sides and appetizer of Fried Pickles were top notch. read more

Hofbrau Steaks in Porter, Texas made my day. The server named AARON, has the first server in my history to have another drink ready for me before I finished. My 21 year old son is a picky eater but review from him was beyond excellent. PHILLIP, the manager was like a friend. I had a hard day and didn't want to feel like a number on a ticket....you know how after you pay your bill the sever never comes back to your table, well the folks kept checking to see if we needed anything after we were done....and never were we rushed out of the restaurant to make room for others. It down home feeling and a great place to go if you are hungry. read more

Always a delicious meal and great company anytime we go here. Food is delicious and the banquet room in the back is a great spot for large events read more
