    3.5 stars is for the food but I'll bump it to a 4 because the service was very good and welcoming. Every single staff member was very helpful & kind. So the restaurant itself has no frills, it's rustic and has a homey feel to it. Their food feels like it's made from home and with love. Here are some of the items I've ordered. * Chili- we can argue up & down if beans are suppose to be in chili. For me, I don't think beans should be in them and I stand firm on that. Fortunately, they make theirs without beans (thank goodness). It was seasoned nicely, hearty and filling. The meat however was a little dry. Not a bad bowl of chili though. 3/5 * Buffalo wings- good buffalo sauce, but a little overcooked. Ranch was fine. 3/5 * Chili cheese fries- nostalgic. Felt like I was in middle school again. Tasted like your school cafeteria chili cheese fries (not a bad thing though). It was very good and they were not stingy on the chili. 4/5 * Blackened salmon with green beans & collard greens with a side of blackened shrimp- salmon was seasoned & cooked to perfection. It was salty with a hint of lemon. The green beans were boring and not seasoned. I had to doctored it up with salt & pepper. Collard greens were good and they definitely put some thought to it. Greens were vinegary. Shrimp was delicious and had a lot of Cajun seasoning to it. 3.5/5 * Peach cobbler with ice cream- so freaking good. Someone's grandma was in the back making this. The crust was more on the doughy side versus flaky but had good texture. The peach didn't taste like it was canned. You can't go wrong with some blue bell vanilla ice cream. 4.5/5 I got to try my friend pecan crusted chicken and it was pretty good & I also got to try some fried okra. Which I will order the next time I'm there. It was lightly battered & the okra itself looked fresh. It also came out piping hot. Overall, it was solid. Idk why I haven't given this spot a try considering I work 3 minutes from the restaurant. Prices are very reasonable & it matches the quality of the food. Ordering is simple, it's counter service. They give you a buzzer and once your food is ready you'll pick it up at the counter. Will I come back? Oh heck yeah. I hope they add some spaghetti with meat sauce to their menu. It's one of my favorite home comfort food.

    This place had a big menu, offered alcohol, was family friendly, and had indoor/outdoor seating. You order at the counter and get a buzzer. I got the chicken fried steak (thin and perfectly battered), green beans (lightly seasoned), and mac and cheese (tasteless). The people working here are very friendly. I would come back for the burger (saw a lot of people getting that).

    My steak was black . Could not even eat .They tasted like charcoal, it was a chopped steak that was strategically placed on a baked potato so I could not see it only until I started moving the potato around . Disappointed because I usually have good food there.

    Oh my goodness what a discovery I found down in SUGARLAND. Huge menu so many choices. I ended up getting the jalapeño burger which came with onion rings, lettuce, and sauce and grilled jalapeños extremely tasty cooked to Perfection. Curly fries were pretty good too. I cannot wait to come back and try something else.

    It had been many many years since our last visit, and it's nice to see that some things haven't changed. Back when it was just a small restaurant with a tree growing through the middle and no playground, it was already a great place to eat, and it still is today. It remains a wonderful spot for a family meal. The food is tasty, and the service is friendly and quick. It's always nice to return to a place that continues to deliver a good experience.

    Great place for the whole family to grab a meal before a Space Cowboys game! Their menu is pretty extensive but after reading a lot of reviews mentioning burgers I opted for the Diablo burger with side of fries. Great tasting patty with a good amount of kick from the pickled Serrano peppers paired with the Diablo chipotle sauce. I really liked that kids meals came with fruit cup (mandarin oranges), yogurt, or apple sauce. This place has plenty of seatings inside and out. We took a table in the covered dog friendly patio area that was kept at generously cool temps. Beyond the plastic barrier that keeps out the Texas heat you'll find a kids playground and additional tables with umbrellas. Major highlight and props for this place being and encompassing all aspects of family friendly!

    Lotsss of options! I feel it was slightly overwhelming but tons of options for everyone. Workers were very friendly and kind during ordering. The portions are huge! 3 people couldn't finish the loaded fries with boneless wings. Lunch time is pretty hectic with lots of people but still able to find a table and it wasn't too loud inside as well. Parking lot is also big so no worries with that!

    Back-home style country eatery. Food was good, staff were friendly and I enjoyed having a plethora of sauces/dips to choose from. I'd like to come back on a weekend night during good weather to enjoy the patio.

    Again all were good, very nice outdoor seating on a cool night. Very busy, inside and outside made to order but came out Quickly.

    Came for lunch because of how many solid reviews there are. It must be more of a local favorite because I totally do not understand the hype surrounding any of the food we had. The menu is extensive, which is always a bit of a red flag in terms of the quality of each dish. We grabbed the steak sandwich, which was essentially a piece of meh steak stuck in a hot dog bun with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and a chipotle sauce. Physically difficult to eat. Every sandwich option comes with mayo, which I would preferred to have a bit more variety. We grabbed the burger, which was really just a fine burger of the quality I probably could've made in someone's back yard. The fries were okay... and the side of green beans was actually surprisingly one of the better aspects of the meal but I suspect the way it's cooked diminishes any health benefits you may expect from choosing this over the fries. Also grabbed a side of the gumbo, which was fine. There is a ton of seating. The outdoor area is actually fairly cute, with 3 separate swing seats and a bunch of picnic tables. It was too windy to open the umbrella (we, as well as many other tables, tried and were promptly told to close them). I think if you work in the area it's probably a fine option for brunch but as we were visiting Houston, it certainly was not worth the drive outside the city to venture to.

    Chicken fried steak
    Tim C.

    The Chicken Fried Steak and the Chicken Fried Chicken were phenominal. The two sides that came with each one were just as tasty. Each entree came with two sides. We enjoyed the green beans, fried okra and the fried onion rings. The fried onion rings and the fried okra had a slight upcharge and they were worth it. The white gravy we got was dipping heaven, came in a small container. Most places just pour a dab on the steak, makes the steak a little soggy and they don't give enough.....another thing this place does right! We've been here before...14 years ago....why did we take so long to come back for more of these goodies!? They have a nice playground.

    Country fried steak and burger/onion rings
    Nancy L.

    This place has been bookmarked for the longest time and finally made it out. Plenty of parking and country feel. They have a little play slide area outdoors for kids to play (though watch out for the woodchips!). Once inside, you can see the menu and order at the counter before seating. Country fried steak and burger was solid. They do have some benches in an extended area of the restaurant that's covered. Overall, a solid option in the area.

    Scott D.

    This is a great casual place to enjoy a quick tasty meal. As they say in their description, the food is simplr but there's a great variety. I've had the fish and chicken sandwiches and the ribs and all were very good. It's counter service, take a buzzer and pick up at the counter. I've always been there on weekends and it's busy but no problem finding a parking spot or a table. The staff is very friendly and attentive and your food comes out pretty quickly. Nice outside seating area, and a play space in the back for the kiddos. Portions are generous. Reasonable selection of canned and bottled beers in the cooler.

    What are some of the important details for the TUESDAY Evening Steak special ? what is shown on web site is vague ... imo

    16 ounces of juicy rib eye steak cooked to perfection on a open fire. Your choice of sides and soup of the day or a salad!

    Are there items on the menu that are both gluten and soy free?

    They DO have gluten free hamburger buns!

    Is this place pet friendly?

    Yes. You can have your dogs in the front and back patio.

    Is this a good venue for large parties of 15-18 or more people? Such as an adult birthday dinner. Or will the space be too cramped?

    It will work in door or out door . But you should call the manager to reserve space and tables. The friendly folks there will work with you.

The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming--he thanked nearly every customer he saw multiple times for coming in and even acknowledged the tip that was left, which was such a thoughtful touch.

I am very much a creature of habit and usually order and stick to the same thing, but I have decided to make it a point to expand my choices on future visits to return here with a well rounded update review. Until then, I find that the owner(s) is/are great and always welcoming and make sure their patrons are happy and satisfied. It's a small shop with ample seating and the food is available for take out as well. I recently discovered how my expectations have increased due to Kabob Shack's wonderful food as they now set the bar for any other gyros I've ordered from other establishments and have found many don't measure up. Most recently I tried their competition in the same center and was so disappointed with what I ordered, that I made my way back to KS that same week to make up for it. If you simply want a great tasting gyro wrap with tons of flavor you can't go wrong with their lamb/beef gyro wrap (my favorite!) The meat is always so flavorful, the sauce just the right amount of garlic, and the pita is sooo soft and fresh. My mouth is watering as I write this, but be warned, the spicy is very spicy, at least for me. If you are not a fan of spicy you can request no spice without concern of losing flavor as it is every bit as savory with or without spice. KS does not skimp on anything. The hummus is also wonderful and I usually order it to share as it can be a great deal of food otherwise. I like that there is emphasis on the fresh without emphasis, you just taste it in every bite from the protein to the pitas. I believe this is what makes Kabob Shack stand out for me and sets the bar for other restaurants of the same to live up to in general. I highly recommend! Try it out.
