Classic Chicken Alfredo
Erica C.

4/5/2015, Saturday - our first time there. We arrived around 8pm. We were told we moused the rush. Very friendly employees and interesting decor. They had a variety of options to choose from including Chinese food. We ordered appetizers, fried pickles, fried gator and shrimp bombers. Fried gator were small and 5 bombers came out. all tasted good. Lots of food on the plates and should be shared as entrees. Everything was great! I would come here again. See photos. From California visiting over here.

Crawfish Queso
Adriana A.

This is definitely a "hidden" gem! Greeted as soon as you walk in, small & quaint! Food is absolutely delicious! We started with the crawfish queso - it's great with the home made chips. Had the hangover griddle - boudin, sausage, eggs, potatoes & cheese and can't forget the waffle!! Huge portion & the waffle was delicious!! Definitely worth a stop when en route to Alvin!

Soft shell crab was phenomenal!

The food was great!! Service and timeliness of said service was top notch. Definitely plan to return.

Gumbo and eggrolls.
Miss H.

I stopped buy this past Tuesday, the food was not good, the gumbo was awful tasted like cumin-bo, some kind of Mexican concoction. The fried shrimp was also awful they had a weird taste like they were going bad. I will not be back.

Fried Seafood Platter

Outstanding fried seafood! I needed fresh gulf seafood while in the area, and this place did not disappoint. The platter is more food than it looks in the picture, and I subbed out the fries for a salad. Everything seemed fresh, and all was delicious!

Alfredo pasta

Pretty nice service. Good Cajun food. A friend thought it was on the salty side. I'm a fan of salty foods so I wouldn't know if it was or not. It had flavor to me. 3 Flounder and etoufee 3/5 Flounder was good. Etoufee was soso. But watery. Not as saucy as we like it. Gumbo 2/5 Light, tad bland. Too watery. Flavor was okay. Fried seafood platter 5/5 Fish was good. Super tasty batter. Lots of food to try. Everything was still tender. Tartar was good. Boudin something 5/5 Unique take on boudin. Tasted like dirty rice fried in both sides. Super flavorful, had a nice light crunch and soft inside. Played a good balance in texture. It maybe I'm just weird. Stuffed flounder 4/5 Has a good flavor and sauce on top but was a bit dry. Cesar salad 5/5 Solid salad. Dressing a bit salty but it's on the side so that's good.

Stopped by and picked up a fish and fries for my mother and this is what I unveiled when we got home.

Stuffed flounder platter.. the flounder was too tiny and too much starch in there... couldn't even taste the fish itself

Sad little crawfish etouffee :(
Samantha M.

This place does good business! We got there at 5pm and had to wait a bit for a table. Fried alligator with onion strings - 5/5 Would order again. Alligator was tender and moist. Onion rings - 0/5 Terrible, thick pancake like batter and mushy onion. Never again. Jumbo shrimp cocktail - 3.5/5 Nothing wrong with it other than the word "jumbo" being misleading. Large shrimp at best. The cocktail glass dwarfed the shrimp. Chicken fried steak - Didn't try it but the consumer had no complaints! Crawfish etouffee - 1.5/5 Decent amount of crawfish, but too different in flavor from pretty much every other crawfish etouffee out there. The color made it look more like a curry. And it wasn't very warm. Not for me. Nobody at the table wanted to finish it. Sorry, etouffee. Fried shrimp/oysters/crawfish/etc. - 5/5 No complaints. Crispy and fresh. Hushpuppies - 0/5 Absolute trash. Please improve these flavorless, hard balls. Spicy boiled red potatoes - 5/5 My mouth was on fire in the best of ways. Italian cream cake - 4.5/5 The only thing that would make it better is more cream cheese in the frosting. It tasted more like buttercream. We had some hits and some misses but we'll be back to try new things and more of the good things! The staff was also very friendly and we loved our waitress!

I was running some errands in lower Pearland, or Manvel as they like to call it. I decided to stop…read morein for a quick bite since I had some freebies through the Whataburger app. This was my second time stopping at this location. First time wasn't the greatest but I chalked it up to growing pains. It's pretty new and it sits in the huge shopping complex on the corner of Highway 6 and 288. It's pretty small inside and has a new design where kiosk ordering is the new way to order. A human will take your order but good luck getting anyone to acknowledge you. I was having issues with my app and claiming my offer and it took awhile to get some help. It seems like alot of the staff is in the high school or college age range and they were more interested in socializing with each other and friends in the dining area. Once i made my order, it took a very long time to arrive. I customized my burger and the receipt and the stickers on the wrapper showed what I wanted. What I got was not what I ordered. I was not in the mood to deal with anyone in the front and just ate it. Whataburger still reigns supreme in my book as far as chains go, but this location has alot of work to do to live up to the greatness that was once Whataburger. I will not be coming back to this location anytime soon.

New location who dis!! Whataburger... Yay! This is a hot…read morenew location that everyone has ravvvved about, so I have high expectations. Customer Service: Tiffany is super sweet. I haven't been here in a while and it shows. She made some great recommendations. However, there was a young lady that came in to complain about being in the drive through and how long they took and how she still get her whole/ correct order. Clealiness: It looks like they are trying their best, but perhaps they need a bit more training. Looks as though the floors haven't been swept, the napkins need to be refilled, etc. This may be a shift change problem, I'm not sure, but there are opportunities for improvement here. Parking: This is a new shopping center and this WB is pretty popular. It has its own parking spaces, so you shouldn't have to park and walk far. Food: The food was just okay. Typical fastfood. However, I don't recommend the fries. They are shoestring fries that taste like a bag of oil. Maybe they were overdone! I got the Honey BBQ Chickenstrip sandwich. It was just okay as well. Essentially, this is a great place to stop if you just don't feel like cooking or if you have a taste for it. It's just not for me! Not likely that I will be back, but when you go, ask for Tiffany!!!

They were unimpressive. They did produce a pleasant aroma, but the taste lacked flavor and personality. The fried mushrooms were ok and I ate quite a few (lol). I also had the fries that were supposed to have seasoning. If it did I couldn't taste it, and I am all about flavor. Basically, I had bland fried food. I think it would be a good idea to sample the menu during happy hour. That way you're only out five dollars per item versus the full menu price. Oh, would be remiss if I didn't let you know that the barbecue ranch dipping sauce was very good and unusual. I suggest you try it when visiting. The atmosphere is laid-back and the service is reasonable. Overall, I expected more from Willie G's but it is what it is. Can I recommend this restaurant? Yes but mostly during happy hour. GN3

There is tons of different seating options and it wasnt too busy. It was moderate noise level and a good vibe inside. They have draft and bottled beer which was nice. Also, a few different frozen alcohol options. Beergarita: This drink was the only thing that was good. It came with a tiny bottle of dos inside. The margarita is standard and a very big size. Cheese Willy: At first it was a punch of flavor and pretty good. However, then I realized the other side of the burger was pretty soggy. The meat tasted a little funky too. The fries that came with the dish tasted good and fresh. However, a bit too salty.

We were picking at them from the basket. Kudos to the piping hot rolls. When we put our order in and she brought us second round of rolls, was the last time we saw our waitress. Two of my sisters ordered salad, when it arrived they again had to pick at it because we had no silverware (hard to find anyone to help us really). I had to get up to ask the hostess for silverware, she left and someone else got us our silverware. The hostess returned with wet hot plates. Mind you we were done with rolls at that point. When our food arrived, my sister was missing her side. Again hard to find help, my other sister had to physically go into the kitchen entryway to ask for the missing side. Our waitress didn't come to check on us, didn't get us refills. My food (pulled pork sandwich and fries) was so salty I ate less than half of it, and had to counter act the saltiness with a bite of the rolls with butter. We tried to split the bill per person, no waitress in sight, the tablet only allowed us to split it three ways. My sister ended up paying for the whole thing (we were in a rush). Our waitress finally came to our table when we asked for receipt and to go box. My sister left her 15% tip. When we got the receipt, waitress wrote THX, circled the tip amount and drew Definitely not a great experience at all.

On this particular evening we stuck to the seafood and we were not disappointed. We came out on a Tuesday, and Pizza Hut, next door, was running a 5.99 deal and the place was bonkers. On a normal day, parking is not much of a problem and there's plenty of space, but on this day it was a little hectic. Don't expect that to be the usual. Walking in the restaurant was quiet, there were three tables being served at the time. We were immediately set and we had a lot of different menu options to go through. We had their normal menu, their feast and their weekly and daily specials. So many things looked good, so we took our time going over the menu. We ordered half a dozen raw oysters, and these were massive. They serve them with lemons and Sriracha. Excellent combination. 10 out of 10 would order again. The gal went with flounder fillets and crawfish etouffee over rice. The flounder was fried perfectly. The etouffee was fantastic. I had the redfish with crawfish etouffee and I loved my redfish and the etouffee was fantastic on my dish as well. 10 out of 10 would order the redfish again, same with the flounder. Overall this is a fantastic meal. We had a bill of $46 for two big plates and half a dozen oysters. Not a bad deal. They do have some pretty good deals on it. Some of their other specials and their larger boils and feast. And while we were there they also had 1199 lb crawfish rate. We'll have to come back for the Crawfish and see how they do. They also have events throughout the week and month at the restaurant. That might be worth checking out if you're in the area. Was very pleased with our meal and visit. Will definitely be back.

I'm a regular at the Pearland location and was excited to check out this location in Iowa Colony which is just south of Pearland. My friend who lives in the neighborhood and I decided we should do pizza at his house and gather up some friends. It was a Monday night and the Texans had a playoff game. Center Court happens to run one of the best deals around on Mondays which is get any of their pizzas for 12 bucks. Glad we ordered ahead because everyone in the area had the same idea. The parking lot was full and there was a wait to get our food even with ordering way ahead. The restaurant sits on the end of a strip of businesses and this location even has a patio and playground. We got a variety of their specialty pies and they were all solid. The Ninja Turtle is a pepperoni lovers kind of pizza It was loaded with pepperoni and lots of extra cheese. Free Throw was their take on a supreme. It had the meats plus some veggies to brighten up that bite a little bit. Carnivore was a meat lovers type of pizza. There may be a thing of too much meat as it was a little on the dry side. A little more sauce would have gone a long way with that one. Asian Persuasion was one of my favorites of the night. Think of pho on a pizza. It had a gochujang base with beef, onions and fresh jalapenos. It was different in a good way. Lastly, we got the Buffalo Chicken pizza. It was another favorite of the night. It had some heat and the buffalo sauce did not overpower the pizza. One thing I also love about their pizza is that they season their crust with this wonderful green concoction of I don't know what, but it works. We didn't stray from pizza on this trip, but Center Court has lots of other options as well. They have calzones, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, salads and desserts. Two of my all time favorite things they serve is their pepperoni rolls and their wings. Their wings are some of my favorite in the whole city. I have yet to go to a Center Court that has let me down. I will definitely be returning here if in the area.

Solid pizza chain…read more I've been to a few locations and they are pretty consistent. This location is no exception. Gets busy on game days when Astros or Texans are playing. Decent selection of beer on tap. The pizza is always good. Sometimes needs to be cooked a lil longer though. Love the seasoning they put on the crust too. I'm a fan of the cannonballs, which are essentially deep fried jalepeno poppers in ball shape. Wings are good as well. We go with the breaded ones with lemon pepper and a side of buffalo sauce and blue cheese. Good pricing and average service. It's close to the house and a solid options for pizza and wings with the family. Plenty of room for big party's and a playground out back.
