Fantastic chicken fried steaks here! Atmosphere is laid back and fun. Other menu items are also very tasty. Will visit again and again. read more

My wife and I came in for dinner. I ordered the burger, and it was amazing--just as good as I remembered. My wife ordered the grilled chicken breast, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. It looked like the chicken had been pounded down to about quarters of an inch, leaving it dry and overcooked, with some kind of glaze that didn't improve it. We've been coming here since you first opened, which is why this experience was so surprising. You're a mom-and-pop business, and we've always enjoyed supporting you. That's why it's disappointing to see a meal that felt like it was below fast-food quality. What happened? We know you're capable of much better, and we hope this was just an off night because we'd like to keep coming back. read more

Today was my 1st visit thanks to Yelp. My 94 years young mom lives nearby. This photo seems to have had poor perspective because hers seemed way bigger than mine. There is a 2nd piece of chicken "tenders" on the bottom & it was thicker than the top piece. This is a $8.49 kids/seniors deal! It came with a drink. Mine is a $12.99 steak finger basket. Next time I will ask for no salt on mine. I apparently am salt sensitive. The food was super yummy & was an excellent value. I would love to have a place like this in my gentrified neighborhood. LOG will motivate me to visit my mom more! I'm ready to try a burger & other menu items. Thanks for a great lunch! read more

First time visit. This was a very busy small restaurant. All of our food selections were good. The chicken fried chicken gravy was very flavorful. The chicken fried chicken was massive. Their side portions are massive. The atmosphere is family friendly. It is seat a seat yourself and serve yourself restaurant. The dining area was very clean. The restrooms were very clean. They did have outdoor seating. We sat inside however. read more

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). read more

I went on a Sunday. The setup is simple--order first, then find a seat. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for me. It lacked flavor, and the drinks were pretty weak; honestly, I could have just ordered a slushy and had the same experience. What surprised me most was how packed the place was, so maybe I just ordered the wrong items. read more

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. read more

We were searching for chicken fried steak and had heard about this place. We were with native Houstonians and they had not tried Live Oak. It is definitely off the heated path, but not too far from central Houston. You order at the counter from the large menu, and one of the friendly employees will help you. Four out of the five of us had the chicken fried steak. There are two sizes available. These come with two sides. The onion rings are some of the best ever. The fried okra was exactly what we expected. The collard greens were well seasoned and exactly what Icc bc was looking for. The fresh house salad was huge with homemade dressings and pickled okra spears included. They also serve lots of burgers and numerous other entrees with lots of side dish options. I might also mention that the prices were quite reasonable considering portion size and quality. The ambience had everything from license plates aligned into the shape of Texas to singing and dancing Grinch. I would definitely pay a visit to this local establishment. I know that I will return next time I'm in town. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Wife and I were in the area running errands and I remembered this place from a few yrs back. In we go. The atmosphere is rustic. Lots of seating. Lots to look at. We had a good time reading all the wall art signs. But we didn't come here for the art. We. And for the food. Looking around, we saw huge CFS, tenders, hamburgers. Large portions. We settled on the patty melt to split. Came w/ FFs. This had to be the best patty melt I've ever had. Nice hand make patty - and you can tell when they're hand made - melted cheese, grilled onions and then bacon and pickles. Do damm good. It was worth the drive from Katy. And it will be again. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 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. read more

The best hamburger in town. Live Oak also has some pretty awesome Tuna and Chicken fried chicken as well as other things on the menu.

I was in the mood for some good ole Southern cooking while in the Sugarland area. My trusty Yelp machine pointed me in the direction of Live Oak Grill. My dinner date and I arrived later in the evening so parking and finding seats was no issue at all. This place has that country feel to it outside with a lots of patio seating and little knickknacks all over the place. They also have a nice playground so the kiddos can let off some steam while the adults do their thing. Live Oak Grill is also a counter service type establishment. Peruse the menu, order at the counter and wait for your food. I don't mind that whatsoever. That being said, the little interaction with the staff was good. One thing I absolutely love when it comes to Southern cooking is a properly done Chicken Fried Steak. It's one of those ultimate comfort foods. I went with that and it came with two sides. This was an indulgent meal already so I added insult to injury and went with two starches. You just can't go wrong with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese as your sides. It also came with a roll and a choice of brown or white gravy. I think I'm the minority because I prefer brown over white with my CFS. The food came out fairly quick and was nice and hot. I went straight for the CFS without gravy and let me tell you, that was a delicious bite on it's own. The gravy wasn't needed, but it also didn't hurt as it was delicious too. The CFS was cooked to perfection, crunchy on the inside, tender inside. The batter was seasoned really well also. The sides were ok, nothing to write home about. I tried a bite of the pecan crusted chicken salad as well and this was really good. If you're looking for something a little more of the lighter side, I would suggest that. We also tried some of their cookies and they were delicious as well. Overall, I'm glad we tried this spot out. It's a little out of the way for me or else I would be back often. I will be back though! read more

Visiting from California and came here with Family residing in Texas. Did NOT disappoint. Our server (sorry that I didn't get her name . Ticket #234). We had many questions wanting to know their most popular entrees and she recommended. We also made several changes for the sides . She was gracious , knowledgeable, and patient. Lovely smile and energy . We were ordering for 4. Our order came out perfect. The food was to die for! Yum to the nth degree !! I had the chicken fried chicken with the sweet corn and special bean mixture sides. The chicken was lightly fried to perfection and tender and seasoned delectable to the taste buds. The sweet corn was just rightly sweetened and the beans were a nice mixture of protein goodness. Friendly atmosphere . A welcoming ambiance rooted in southern , Texan hospitality . A must for one visiting Sugarland, Texas. read more

This is a vegetarian sandwiches review. We had the black bean burger and portobello mushroom. There sandwiches were overall ok, but nothing to rave about and come back. I prefer the portobello mushroom more than the black bean. The onion rings were great though. Batter was well done. Hope they can have more selection of tastier vegetarian sandwiches. read more

Live Oak Grill - Cheesesteaks Near Me - Sugar Land, Texas

I'm a fan of this place; my wife and I go there often and have always recommended it to my friends and public in general. Unfortunately, this time I have to report a disappointment. Last Friday I had an order of Chicken Fried Chicken, to go. When I got home and opened the clam shell container I found, instead of its famous and formerly delicious, mashed potatoes a disgusting runny mush of lumpy potato soup I threw away. I don't know if they have a new and inexperienced cook or management has decided to lower the quality of the food they serve in order to reduce the overwhelming number of diners and thus, making the workload of its personnel less stressful. read more

One of the local favorites of Sugar Land, Live Oak Grill provides a laid back, family-friendly atmosphere, with a pretty extensive menu. The food is consistent and the kids menu is a great value with generous portions. The covered patio actually gets quite cold inside even on warm days. The little playground area which is gated provides the kids a place to run around and entertain themselves, giving the parents an opportunity to eat and even chat with fellow parents. We will definitely be back as this place is a great spot for easy and convenient playdates. read more

The counter service staff is friendly and polite. The menu has a big variety and is very reasonably priced. The quality of the food is average.
