    Spicy Pineapple  margarita

    Couldn't think of a better place to celebrate National Margarita Day! The staff is exceptional they are so welcoming and attentive. This place has great food, good drinks and plenty of seating. Asia made me some great margaritas! Can't wait to go back for a meal, a drink, and of course a vibe!

    Got a too good to go surprise bag $6.48, the food came hot and fresh so I was excited. However, I definitely expected more food for the value given that it's the "special" bag and compared to other too good to go value bags. The food itself is pretty average / good compared to all the Jamaican food I've had. Heard some people on google reviews had stomach issues with it so we'll find out! Service - fast and nice staff Ambiance - it was empty inside apart from people getting takeouts and a man drunk/out at the bar

    This is a cute restaurant off if 610 and close to downtown. It has a nice bar and space to host a party. We went on a Sunday and tbe service and food were an A+. We ordered 2 lg oxtail plates and I love their seasoning and sauce. They have happy hour all day on Sunday and the rum punch was too good. This is my maybe third time going and i will def be back.

    I'm usually a Cool runnings Jamaican grill and bar fan and that's where I'll stick to ordering from now on. When my food was delivered I had one scoop of cabbage that was smashed into the plate, 2 small plantain, some goat curry and rice and peas. Half of the food was inedible. One of my plantain was extremely dry, the goat was rubbery and fatty with a lot of salt and mostly bones, the rice and peas was not good and I didn't even touch the cabbage. This "large plate" was $27. I get twice the amount for $20 at cool runnings and the food is always immaculate. Thank god door dash gave me my money back.

    It's not even located on Bourbon Street, or even within 5 hours of it. False advertising? Bourbon Sizzler aka Island Sizzler aka Indian Sizzler is definitely a very popular Jamaican restaurant and it takes over a spot that has had so many other Sizzlers (such as Island Sizzler which was very similar and Indian Sizzler which was quite different). No matter what the Sizzler, it's always been a good place to eat and now is not an exception. Yes there are some dishes that aren't as good as others and yes they're not the cheapest considering the neighbourhood, but it's still a great place to come and get food.

    Eat at your own risk lol. The food and service is inconsistent. I assume since they have changed the name the restaurant is under new management and so the experience is definitely different. The inside was very dim... no island music playing just some guy at the front taking your order while on his personal phone. The customer service wasn't bad but it also wasn't great. The restaurant was pretty dead when I arrived. I was able to place my order and get my food pretty fast. Upon opening my small curry plate, it was definitely the smallest portion of curry chicken I have ever received from this restaurant. I guess they are cutting back. My portion size should have been on the appetizer side. The favor was there, I could taste the authentic Jamaican food but it was just OK. I guess I want more from this place since it's one of the only places in the area that serves Jamaican food. I am not sure I will be back but then again I tell myself that all the time and 3 months later I am back... always slightly disappointed lol

    placed an order using the TGTG app; the food was delicious!! amazing portions for the price paid. the service was really really great and the ambiance was nice. i will be back in to try their lunch specials as well as their DAILY happy hour and it definitely looks like the bartender knows how to pour a good drink.

    Jerk Chicken

    Overall, the Bourbon Sizzler's jerk chicken with rice and peas was satisfying, but I'd prefer more sauce on the side. Opted for takeout. In and out is my preferred choice for a quick meal, given the outside activity levels.

    Not good. If you are looking for oxtails they seem to have good reviews. Never have chicken patties in 3 weeks i have requested. Orded small chicken curry. No spice. Barely any flavor. Asking for steam rice which is on menu. Not available again. Only cabbage n rice n peas. I don't like either. I had rum punch n d pending who is making it might be decent. Drink only

    Beef Patty

    So disappointed! I haven't ate here in a couple of months but I never would have expected the food to be so off. The oxtail were not seasoned the same, not tender & had a sweet taste to them. Not to mention the beef patty was soooooo greasy it needed a couple of napkins to allow it to drain more. I think the place has switched owners there is no way the same people are cooking.

    Jerk Chicken Plate: Jerk Chicken, Rice and Peas, Cabbage, 2 Fried Plantains

    If I could give a 3.8 star rating I would and here's why: * The jerk chicken was great seasoned well and not under or overcooked but I didn't understand them not having jerk wings available since it is a Caribbean restaurant but the chicken was good so a win is a win on that. * Rice and peas were fine and not over/uncooked either but thankfully I ordered oxtail gravy which literally made it amazing! * Plantains were top tier! Love a good sweet savory plantain and that made the meal not overall not so great because for the next one. * Cabbage gave very much high blood pressure immediately. No exaggeration, it tasted as if they made the cabbage in saltwater literally. 0/10 for the cabbage without a doubt. * Price point was great for the amount of food received. * Delivery packaging could be much better (sticker, seal or even double knotting the bags for safety purposes).

    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.

    This is one of Rice Village's only real bar scenes, and it's slightly off the beaten path…read more The exterior looks appealing with a nice patio. The interior is dimly lit with a variety of interesting pieces of decor. One thing that I love is this used to be an old bank, and the location has gone through a handful of owners and bars, but the old bank vault still remains, and is even an area where you can play games and sit and enjoy your beverages They have board games, a lane for darts. There's also a popcorn cart in the middle of the bar with complimentary popcorn The staff is fairly pleasant and efficient. The drinks were fine. The ambiance just wasn't my thing. It was fairly dark and the bar, darts area, and a couple other spots just felt crowded and congested. This is also a Rice Owls bar, and many of the clientele are rice students or alumni, and when we went it was very "bro-y" for lack of a better term Come tips: If you can, get reservations for the speakeasy that is located directly above the Owl Bar. Much better vibes, drinks, and service Cheers!!

    Rice Village isn't exactly known for having a bunch of cool bars so it was nice to find this spot…read more Had some friends in town for a conference that were staying in the Galleria area. They looked up bars and suggested this spot. I had never heard of it but rolling up, I recognized it as where Kelvin Arms used to be. It was a cool spot back in the day and still a cool spot now. It shares a lot with other businesses and parking wasn't an issue when we went during the day. Inside is dark with an old bar feel to it. I believe this used to be an old bank and the original vault is still there. You can go in there and chill in a lounge like atmosphere. We ordered drinks and sat out on the spacious patio. I started off with an Old Fashioned. It was strong but tasty. What I didn't like was the used of regular ice as opposed to a proper, large ice cube. We then switched to espresso martinis which was done very well here. Overall, this is a solid spot in the Rice Village area. I'd come back if in the area.
