    Ketchup Salt Pepper
    Anthony L.

    JLB Eatery Friendswood is delicious and the employees are really nice. They have a variety of tasty American food options for low prices. I ordered wings, they were spicy with just the right amount of tang for a buffalo sauce. The fries were fried perfectly and had some light seasoning on them. The side salad that came with the meal had fresh veggies that looked like they were straight from the farmer's market. JLB Eatery reminds me of old school casual restaurants from the 90s, but the best version of this type of place. I'm not in Friendswood often but I would definitely stop here again if I was, and I am looking forward to trying other JLB Eatery locations in the future.

    I quit!

    Order the double meat at your own risk! Great tasting food, good service, and clean environment.

    **Tip Shaming Alert** Though this place felt like a mom and pop operation -- perhaps because of its location in a strip mall, lack of branding on cups and the kitschy laminated menu at the counter -- but there appears to be numerous locations throughout the greater Houston area. The atmosphere and service here also made it feel like a homegrown business. Laminate counter- and tabletops, a variety of Magnolia-esque decor and nine tables fill this clean, small spot. Ordering happens at the register here and the customer service was good. The young lady taking our order was new, and she was assisted by someone whom I assume was the manager and/or owner. We let them know that we were first-timers, and they let us know what was popular (and why). Very nice. Without a doubt, the best thing about the burgers here is the bread. The restaurant makes claim that it is baked fresh daily in-house, and the fluffy consistency and rich flavor confirms that. This might be the best bread that I've had with a burger in quite a while! The burger itself though... While it appeared to be course ground, there was really no juiciness. This place advertises that it uses Black Angus to make the burgers. Either they use an 11 percent fat ratio (or lower), or someone left mine on the grill a little too long. The flavor was good, albeit over-salted. The London-style catfish fillet was superbly prepared. Crisp batter. Very clean and flaky fish. I initially believed that they really should be using cod or pollock, as did another patron that I overheard. But, I was wrong. This is good stuff. Fries here are served hot and crisp. Beverages here come from the self-serve fountain and are of the PepsiCo brand. Overall, a good experience with freshly prepared food. **Tip Shaming Alert** The practice of tip shaming has become more prevalent over the past few years. It essentially involves an option at the point-of-sale to tip or not tip -- while the employee is right there looking at you. First, gratuities have traditionally been offered *after* the meal. Further, gratuities are traditionally intended for servers whose hourly wage is much less than other restaurant employees. I am hardly 'Mr. Pink' (Google "Reservoir Dogs") when it comes to tipping. But it is quite presumptuous to *ask* for a tip.

    Bottom of the Crazy Burger

    JLB Eatery is what you want a local restaurant to be. It has phenomenal customer service and the food is even better. I had the chance to eat a burger from here during a work luncheon that won me over instantly. The fresh baked hamburger buns are to die for. They are so soft and delectable. On to the food. JLB Cheese Burger. 9/10 1 Certified Angus Beef patty, mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, and onions on a fresh baked bun. The burger was great, the veggies were crisp and fresh. The bun was like wow. So good. Crazy Burger. 9/10 2 Certigied Angus Beef patties, 2 Slices Cheese, Mayo, Lettuce, Pickles, Bacon. Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, and Thousand Island Dressing. Ok, the burger was better than the first burger I had but the first one was still great. With the two patties it was quite monstrous. Loved the crispy char on the edges of the burger. Way to big to eat and go back to work comfortably but I did and paid the price. Oh well it was worth it. Go give them a try if you haven't, it's a really great place that will give you awesome food and service.

    Cajun Style Fish n' Chips

    The food and service were equally great, and I plan to return and try more menu items. The interior is small, but it is clean and has adequate seating. The service was excellent. The cashier/manager was very welcoming and offered recommendations for food. Additionally, she offered several different types of salad dressing and sauces for the fish. I ordered the cajun-style fish. It was excellent. The fish n' chips I eat are hit or miss, and this is definitely a hit! The batter was crispy and seasoned. The fish was soft and flaky. Paired with the tartar sauce, I was a happy camper. The fries/chips are equally excellent. They were the perfect level of crispy, had good flavor, and were a great complement to the fish. The same can be said for the hush puppy, which I wish I had more of. The slice of bread was fluffy and light, and you can tell they're not lying when they say it is made fresh. Overall, I recommend you try JLB Eatery. The prices are fair, so it's not a huge investment to enjoy the food.

    First time here, got the fish and shrimp combo

    Had the Cajun fried fish and shrimp combo very good. Normally I don't have much feedback for Tatar sauce but it really stood out as really good. Excellent hospitality up front as well

We had the cutest bartender and my hubby was impressed with how she made his Old-fashion. So much so, he ordered two. Ambiance is coastal themed. Cheese curds are great and they are on the happy hr menu so you can get them for $5. We ordered fish and chips & coconut shrimp w/onion rings. Our best bite was the cheese curds.

The food was okay nothing really stood out. I tried the brown butter scallops, and they just tasted like oily scallops. Not too much flavor, but they were cooked nicely. I also tried their avocado tuna taco, and those were a bit weird. The flavors and texture weren't it for me. The inside was kind of mushy, but it did have a hint of yuzu sauce, which made it tolerable. Next, I tried the gumbo with cornbread, and the cornbread with the gumbo was a game changer. It definitely kicked it up a notch. The gumbo didn't have very strong flavors like other gumbos, but I still enjoyed it. Then I tried the fish and chips. The fish was cooked crispy to my liking, and the portion size was decent. However, the fries were a bit too hard and tasted a little stale. The oysters were the last thing I tried and they were pretty decent my favorite was the easy coasts ones. My only complaint with them were the shell some pieces of shell ended up in the meat portion. The service was great too and they have happy hour.

You have to want to eat and drink…read morewell enough to drive a little farther than is convenient--and that's already the first good sign. This isn't a shiny, soulless concept bar with Edison bulbs and a marketing team. It's a neighborhood joint that understands the fundamentals: cold beer, poured correctly; food that knows what it is; prices that don't insult you; and a staff that actually gives a damn. Let's talk beer first, because they clearly do. The draft list is deep and thoughtful--enough variety to satisfy the hop-chasers, the lager loyalists, and the folks who just want something cold and honest after a long day. And yes, they know how to pour a proper Guinness. Settle time. Correct head. No shortcuts. That alone tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. The menu doesn't try to reinvent the wheel or lecture you about provenance. It's bar food done with intention. The street tacos are the kind you order expecting "good enough" and end up wishing you'd ordered two more. Balanced, flavorful, no unnecessary nonsense. The fried cod special? Exactly what it should be--hot, crisp, flaky inside, and served without ego. Comfort food that respects the eater. Prices are fair. Refreshingly fair. The kind of prices that make you relax, order another round, maybe stay longer than planned. That's not an accident--it's hospitality. This is the kind of place that reminds you why local bars matter. Why it's worth skipping the chain down the road and driving a little further for something real. 2 Ways Draught & Kitchen isn't trying to be famous. It's just trying to be good. And that's why it is. Go thirsty. Go hungry. And don't rush it.

It wasn't till after I got a paper receipt did I see they added 20%. Sorry but serving water to all customers is not a valid reason to add 20% gratuity to the check. I still tipped an additional 12%.
