    Wow! Great new addition to Hitchcock! Soulfood that you definitely will be impressed with. Owners are nice and food is excellent. Plates are really two meals for the price of one. Get here early before they sell out!!

    Oxtails, dressing, rice gravy, yams. Beautiful color, freshness and flavor!!!

    The food (ox tails, greens/cabbage, cornbread dressing) is really 5/5, it was seasoned wonderfully and the portions were good for plentiful leftovers.

Very friendly service willing to help new customers with suggestions. She suggested as a first timer to get a burger. I chose the Crazy Burger. She warned me it was a large serving. Crazy Burger-Double beef patty, grilled onions, bacon, & thousand island. I made it a combo with Fries and a drink. My wife got the Bacon Avocado Chicken Wrap. Also in a combo but with Fresh cut Onion Rings. This burger was massive. Bigger than my open hand. The burgers had a perfect crust on them. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The wrap was perfect. Very filling and full of flavor. The onion rings were fresh cut with a light batter coating. This was a great first impression. Definitely on the return list. If you're in La Marque, Texas swing by and leave with a full belly.

Rose Garden went out of business a few years ago, and in its place rises JLB Eatery. Based on what I could gather online, there are quite a few JLBs in Greater Houston, with this location likely the newest one. No. 15 to be exact, per the extremely kind Ms. Kara, the franchisee. The eatery serves the usual American favorites such as fast food and seafood in a laid back setting. Given its the second Friday of Lent, my mom and I came here determined to try the timeless British classic, fish and chips. JLB has three options for the item, and we went with the one-piece just to be on the safe side. I admit, I was expecting my meal to be small, but my eyes lit up when the waitress brought us our baskets. Instead of one piece, each had two, which were prepared in Cajun cornmeal batter per Ms. Kara's recommendation, lying on a bed of fries. Also included were onion rings, a hush puppy, and toast. I'm delighted to say that we immensely enjoyed our orders. The fish didn't even taste like fish, but like chicken. It was nicely done as were the accompanying sides. Portions size, huge enough for an individual meal to where it could feed two people. My assumption is that if the F&C is great, the other items on the menu would be on par or better. However, I have to wait until after Easter to find out if the burgers and chicken are also worth it. Ms. Kara is a joy to talk to. Let me assure you that she'll take care of you if you stop by here.

I love their sandwich...It's tasty spicy, not just hot for hots sake. I didn't leave the place sweaty but my boys sure did. I only now learned they only use fresh chicken and make most everything fresh. You can taste the difference it makes. If you are a fan of the "more chicken" spicy sandwich, you need to try this one. It's far superior and costs less. The place is clean, comfy, and the staff is so helpful and friendly. I give them 5 stars for cleanliness, 10 stars for cooking fresh, not frozen, chicken and homemade sides. I'm trying the chicken and waffles next.

    This was one of the most disturbing food experiences I've ever had. My delivery driver informed me…read morethat the staff were handling raw and cooked chicken with the same gloves, which is a serious food safety violation. Even worse, an employee reportedly put an oil sprayer in their mouth and then used it on customers' food. That is beyond unacceptable--it's disgusting. Tucking the drinks under their chin/mouth to give them to her. This shows a complete lack of basic hygiene, training, and management oversight. I will not be ordering from here again, and I strongly urge others to think twice. This is a serious health risk and needs to be addressed immediately. I do want to thank our DoorDash driver for being honest and looking out for us her transparency is the only reason we knew what was happening.

At approximately $20, it's essentially a steal. Diners get a slab of bovine that nearly takes up half the plate alongside vegetables and loaded mashed potatoes. I was very impressed how my steak came out just as I requested - medium rare - and I couldn't get over how super tender and juicy it was. Maybe it's just me, but when the meat easily melts in your mouth, you have to slowly enjoy it. The veggies were fresh and seasoned nicely and the mashed potatoes came alive flavor wise thanks to the shredded cheese and bacon bits. I just wished they were a bit bigger to match the steak portions wise. As for the establishment itself, a bit noisy, but it can be easily overlooked by the laidback vibe. I really dug the music that was blasting through the speakers. One minute, it was Luke Combs. The next, Pantera. I'd say this place can be a hangout for me when I want to catch the Astros, Texans, or Rockets.

Has 3 pool tables, 2 electronic dart boards, 2 golf games & 2 shuffle board games Only popped in for drinks. Didn't try the food. Prices were surprisingly low for top shelf liquor. Tanqueray gin & tonic, $5.50; Don Julio reposado margarita, $8.50, but the Don Julio anejo shot had more standard pricing at $17. So many sports bars no longer have the electronic (auto scoring) dart boards which I love so much. Thoroughly enjoyed playing. Machine takes cash only & costs $1.50 (6, 25 cent credits) for two players to play a game of cricket for example. I would definitely return to try their wings. They had a large variety of wing flavors. I was there during an Astros game. Pretty cool place to chill & catch a game.

    Opened this summer, Mr. Taco is Texas City's newest Mexican eatery. It's located about a block away…read morefrom the fairly busy Palmer Highway, which makes it a little hard to spot. But once you arrive, you're in for a real culinary trip south of the border. ​I dropped in very eager to try one of their taco plates. While the pictures on the restaurant's Facebook page had already piqued my appetite, I wanted to see for myself if they were the real deal. So, for my first meal here, I ordered the Pastor Street Tacos. ​Like at any good Mexican restaurant, my meal began with chips and salsa. It's an unwritten rule of mine that if the complimentary chips and salsa are good, the main dishes will be just as good, if not better. Fortunately, that rule holds true for Mr. Taco. I tried both the red and green salsas, which were truly spicy--a definite plus in my book. ​The tacos arrived after a few minutes. While the menu said they were miniature--there were four in total--they were a perfect portion. Anchored by marinated pork and topped with fresh onions and cilantro on corn tortillas, the tacos were accompanied by a bean-filled consomme and rice. With just one bite, I imagined myself on the streets of Guadalajara or Monterey; the authenticity was simply evident. ​I occasionally dipped the tacos in the consomme, which I could describe as a bit earthy and salty. Overall, the meal was incredibly enjoyable. This dish is a prime candidate for a go-to order on a return visit. ​I was very well taken care of by our waiter, Samuel. The meal's spiciness had me quickly finishing my water, but he kept the glasses coming without me having to ask. ​While working on the meal, I was parked in front of one of the business's massive TVs, which were tuned to the Astros game. That said, I consider Mr. Taco an ideal place to catch a game. It helps that it's open until 10 p.m.--or 2 a.m. on the weekends--though a staff member told me that's assuming they're not having a slow night. ​Price-wise, I'd say the costs are quite fair. My platter was about $13, which would be roughly three dollars more elsewhere.
