Smokehouse Burger
Ken L.

We found this restaurant from one of my favorite TV shows, so decided to try it. My wife got the Oh My Gosh Sandwich and it looked amazing. I had the Smokehouse burger and it was also impressive. Food was good and portions were large. We went mid-week and after the lunch crowd, so it wasn't too busy. The place was described to me as a hole-in-the-wall, and it looks like something you would find out in the country, not in the middle of Sugarland. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere, and will definitely return to try some other options on the menu.

Good people and good food in country casual rustic restaurant. Great burgers and fries. Big indoor and dog friendly outdoor patio. Nice and chill. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Salmon dinner

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.

The food is amazing. Onion rings are bigger than the burger but not greasy. Idk how they do it.....yummy!! The service is great. Atmosphere since the moment you park, is fun and gives a country vibe. The drinks are very well blended and ohhh yeah you feel it....happy time Highly recommended

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).

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.

Chicken Fried Chicken

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.

Kid's 4oz Cheeseburger
Jamie M.

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!

I love to eat here! Food is soo yummy and big serving too!! It's casual place to bring family.

Old Fashion no lettuce
Raven B.

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.

Fried Shrimp with fries. Fried Pickles and Chicken fried Chicken.
Gary P.

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.

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.

And although the walls are a little beat up the tables are leveled with worn napkins, and the plates are plastic, the food is worth the experience, and I got the restaurant all to myself :). Per the sign, after placing my order, like a one man band, the cashier got to work. First they prepared fresh pita for my hummus. Next, the chicken shawarma pita combo. While I didn't stay to watch the construction, I appreciate the open kitchen concept mainly because it allows me to view the prep station as well as the condition of the ingredients (everything looked fresh btw). So let's talk food. The hummus was exactly as advertised, nothing more, nothing less. The pita on the other hand was unexpected. Undoubtedly fresh, I was served cross between pita bread and a pita chip. I asked for my wrap spicy without tomatoes. While it did arrive with tomatoes, it was undeniably delicious. My eyes were 100% bigger than my stomach, so after a few bites I was satisfied. They don't skimp on the chicken. While the fries weren't my cup of tea, I'd certainly return for the pita. On the way out, I noticed their menu included family deals and lunch specials, a kids meal option, and multiple high chairs, which eliminates your excuse not to visit. :D

Great Drinks, Great Food & Even Better Vibes!…read more Sometimes the best experiences are the ones you don't even plan! I decided to stop by Whiskey Cake in Stafford, Texas, to check out their happy hour, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint! They offer $8 cocktails and appetizers, which is already a win in my book! Espresso Martinis: 5/5 Now y'all know I love a good espresso martini, and baby, these were DELICIOUS! So good that I had TWO! Perfectly made, smooth, and absolutely worth ordering again. And apparently, I wasn't the only one impressed! Once people around me started seeing my martinis, they were like, "Ooooh, that looks good! I want one too!" At that point, I was basically an unofficial brand ambassador! Spinach & Artichoke Dip: 5/5 Rich, creamy, flavorful, and just GOOD! What really stood out to me were the little crispy crackers they served alongside it. I'm so accustomed to spinach and artichoke dip being served with tortilla chips or toasted bread, so this was a nice change! The crackers complemented the dip perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Service: 5/5 Now, let's talk about Gori, my server and bartender! What a sweetheart! The restaurant was SUPER busy, but you would've never known it based on the attention and service he provided. He was kind, personable, patient, and took the time to answer my questions without ever making me feel rushed. And did I mention he made those delicious espresso martinis?! Gori definitely deserves his flowers! Atmosphere & Good Company: 5/5 But what really made this visit special was the PEOPLE! I was sitting at the bar and struck up a lovely conversation with a group of gentlemen enjoying lunch to my right. Then, to my left, I had the pleasure of meeting two of the sweetest ladies, Stephanie and Natalie! Y'all, when I tell you we had such a great time talking! It felt like catching up with girlfriends I'd known for years. We laughed, shared stories, exchanged phone numbers, and hopefully this is the beginning of some new friendships and future outings! And that's what I love about experiences like this. Sometimes you go somewhere just to grab a cocktail and a bite to eat, and you leave with so much more! Overall Experience: 5/5 Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great atmosphere. And most importantly, GREAT PEOPLE! Whiskey Cake, you understood the assignment! I'll definitely be back, and if you're in the Stafford area looking for a good happy hour spot, I'd absolutely recommend giving them a try! LoveJones Eats | Good Food. Good Drinks. Good Vibes.

Cute place with a heartwarming backstory. Nice and busy for brunch on a Saturday morning!…read more I got the scrambled eggs with chorizo and onions and it was DELISH. Also came with a biscuit and jam, which were average - the biscuit tasted like it might have been from a box or mix rather than scratch? But not sure. My friend got the Oliver's breakfast which was a large portion, and she also got a blueberry pancake, which was packed full of blueberries and had a nice crispy edge. She also ordered hot tea and got to choose her tea bag from a lovely box, which was a cute touch. The only thing I might say is that the owner was a bit brusque/gruff. I understand being businesslike and I know customers can be a pain in the food industry, but his attitude was just not very welcoming I suppose. Still a good experience overall though!

If you stop serving customers at 1:30, then that should be reflected in your business hours. We could have saved ourselves the time and gas driving there. What made it even more frustrating was being told that breakfast was already cut off because they had "sold too much" that day. That was honestly confusing considering this restaurant is known for breakfast, operates during brunch hours, and advertises that it is open until 2:00 PM. We also weren't the only customers being turned away. It was extremely disappointing and felt very unprofessional. If customers arrive during your advertised business hours, they should be able to expect service. We arrived with plenty of time to order, eat, and be finished by closing.
