You can come here for dinner or lunch. Today we got the classic burger and a build your own sandwich. The serving sizes were hefty and we definitely left with a happy tummy. The food was fresh and high quality. The wait staff was accommodating and so friendly. We even got to speak with the manager who made us feel like family. There was a large number of pies to select from which honestly was the toughest part of the whole experience. We settled with the key lime pie which was such a great choice but will definitely be back to taste the other types of pies. Lastly, this spot was bustling. We came around the lunch rush so there was a line. However, the line went quick and the tables flipped pretty quickly. We didn't have an issue finding a table and the wait staff was on top of it. This is a family friendly spot that had a southern, homey feel to it. Can't wait to be back for those pies!!

Been here twice now…read more Great key lime pie. Food is good and the place has a nice atmosphere. The first time a nice lady waited on us in take out line. She was a friendly and nice lady. The next trip was tonight. We stood in front of the pie & ice cream counter and no one came. There was 4 younger folks standing by the registers area and they did not even acknowledge our presence or the folks that walked in behind us. I finally walked the 4 feet to the register to get the young man's attention and let him know we would like ice cream and a pie. He seemed a little put out at first but, in the end was pleasant to deal with. Nice place worth trying. They just need a little more awareness on folks coming in and giving them some guidance on where to order and acknowledging their presence. Welcome and can I help you down here would go a long way.

The chicken fried chicken was really great, it was nice and tender & the breading was flavorful without being too oily or too much breading. The gravy was good and pretty creamy. The beans were good, nothing special but nice. The ice tea was great & perfectly sweet. The interior is pretty simple but does the job. It was pretty clean & the bathrooms were nice too. No complaints! Will be back again

Ambiance: Located in the middle of a mid‑size plaza, parking may get tight on busy days. Once you step inside, though, the space feels like home. There's a small stage for open mic nights or local bands, and the music sets the tone -- loud enough to vibe with, but still comfortable for conversation with your party or the staff. Service: Make sure you speak with Jasmine. She was fantastic, and the rest of the staff matched her professionalism. I appreciated that food was delivered with gloves and that the team stayed attentive, consistently looking for ways to elevate the service and presentation. They carry themselves well, and it shows. Food: This was the highlight of my visit. With so many tempting options, choosing was tough -- so I went with the Fins and Feathers. The greens mixed with cabbage were a pleasant surprise, and the garlic mashed potatoes hit the spot. My party ordered the smothered pork chops with greens and mac‑n‑cheese, and everything was rich, comforting, and satisfying. I wanted seconds, but my stomach tapped out. Overall: I highly recommend stopping by. They offer a loyalty program and weekly specials, which is always a plus. The next time I'm in Katy, TX, I'll definitely be back for more great food and great service.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: 3 Seventeen Happy Hour Friday…read more Let me start by saying this: the food is absolutely delicious. That's the reason this review still earns 4 stars despite some very noticeable issues that management should address. First things first, 3 Seventeen needs to advertise that they have TWO Happy Hour menus. We specifically called beforehand to ask about Happy Hour offerings, and at no point were we informed that reservations are practically required. As potential new and returning customers, that information would have been extremely helpful. When we arrived, every table was reserved. Every. Single. One. We ended up sitting separately at the bar until a very kind hostess noticed the situation and was able to move us to a table together off to the side of the bar area. Shoutout to her because she saved the experience before it even started. The Drinks After ordering our food and cocktails, our margaritas arrived. I looked down and immediately thought someone had brought me a cup of lemonade. Why? Because the margarita was served in a plastic cup. Naturally, I asked why. I was told that after a certain time, all drinks are served in plastic cups because customers frequently break the glassware. Now I understand wanting to protect inventory, but here's the problem: 3 Seventeen is a beautiful venue. The décor and aesthetics create an upscale vibe, yet the drink presentation completely works against that image. A handcrafted margarita loses some of its magic when served in the same cup used at a family barbecue. Adding to that, I noticed the shelves behind the bar were completely bare of glassware. Then there was another issue that management should seriously consider addressing. The walkway from the bar toward the rear of the building exposes the area where hookahs are assembled and supplies are stored in plastic bins. From a customer's view, it looked cluttered and somewhat unsanitary. A decorative partition or curtain would make a huge difference. Presentation matters, and once customers start questioning what they're seeing, they start questioning other things too. Honestly, it almost made me lose my appetite. The Food Thankfully, the food arrived... and that's when things got MUCH better. Spinach Dip & Homemade Chips Creamy, flavorful, and paired with fresh homemade chips. Every bite was warm, cheesy, and satisfying. Spinach Dip with Shrimp This version takes things to another level. The juicy shrimp on top added extra flavor and made an already good appetizer even better. Fried Shrimp The shrimp were HUGE. Well... most of them. One shrimp looked like the little cousin trying to sneak into the family photo. I wasn't sure if they ran out of the jumbo shrimp or if one simply wandered into the wrong basket, but it definitely stood out. Loaded Fries The loaded fries are made with steak fries. If you're not a fan of thick-cut fries, keep that in mind before ordering. They were loaded and filling, but definitely potato-forward. Catfish Nuggets Now let me give everyone a pro tip: Order the catfish nuggets and dip them in the Hot Honey Sauce. Trust me. That combination is a COMPLETE game changer. The sweet heat from the sauce mixed with the crispy catfish created one of the best bites of the entire evening. The Birthday Celebrations Now... let's discuss the elephant in the room. The birthday celebrations need a complete overhaul. At one point, there were FIVE birthdays happening at the same time. The staff, who were already stretched thin, were literally running from table to table singing "Happy Birthday" and delivering bottles of champagne. ‍‍ It looked chaotic. Customers were confused. Employees looked exhausted. The entire process felt disorganized and distracting. To be completely honest, it was one of the most ridiculous and chaotic birthday processes I've seen at a restaurant. The staff did their best, but the system simply isn't working. Final Thoughts What makes this review difficult is that the employees were genuinely wonderful. Everyone was friendly. Everyone was trying. Everyone appeared to care. The real issue isn't the staff. The issue is that the operational systems have not caught up with the vision of the establishment. The owner has clearly invested a lot into making 3 Seventeen visually beautiful. The space is gorgeous. However, the service flow, staffing levels, reservation communication, drink presentation, birthday procedures, and overall customer experience need attention. The good news? These are fixable problems. Because the hardest thing to fix is usually the food... and fortunately, the food is fantastic. With stronger management processes, better staffing support, improved presentation, and a few operational adjustments, 3 Seventeen has the potential

I heard about Fish & Chicks on my Facebook feed for locals and also on Yelp. We decided to spin the…read moremeal wheel for a quick place to grab a late lunch. We walked in to a really cozy but welcoming place. The cashier was the most polite and knowledgeable young person I have met in awhile. He took our order, made recommendations and rang us up. We sat down and waited for our food a bit. Omg the food was absolutely amazing. The best spots are found on the spur of the moment and this was no exception. What sold us even more was the owner came out, greeted us and chatted a little while. We were able to give him immediate feedback and the highest of praises for his restaurant from the delightful young man to the food to the decor. We are sold and this will be a regular on our list. The food: I got the shrimp fried rice, lemon pepper bone in wings and red beans and rice. We split the boiled shrimp. My husband got the catfish, tilapia and shrimp basket with fried okra. Everything was excellent! But if I had to pick, the shrimp fried rice with the small onion bits won! The lemon pepper wings second and the fried okra was amazing! Everything was so good we ordered more wings to go and another order of fried rice. Everything was fresh, nothing from a box. The price point was good too and portion sizes were great. 1000/10.

My husband and I ate here many years ago that it doesn't even count since we couldn't remember our…read moreexperience. We ordered in the drive-thru during that time. Thus, we were literally in shock when we entered into the venue and realized that it is a SIT-DOWN RESTAURANT! I didn't think it would be fast food style like Popeye's or KFC. However, I imagined it would be along the line of Cane's, but a little more upscale. My first reaction was, "Aww man, I'm going to have to pay more for something that is already sort of pricey." I'm thinking in terms of tipping. HOWEVER, I actually had a really great time here. The menu is simple, yet unique simultaneously with monthly special burgers and Korean inspired flavors. I LOVE the fact that you can substitute the crispy chicken for GRILLED. I'm all about eating out, enjoying food, but also trying to select better options. Healthy eating doesn't mean boring! This place seems like an American/Korean fusion restaurant, or an Americanized version of Bon Chon. The vibe is really cozy, intimate, and chill. It's a great spot to casually hang out with friends or family. The wait for the chicken was long, BUT it was worth the wait. The food was hot and fresh. The Korean BBQ OG Grilled Chicken Sandwich - It was huge! Even though I am a petite 95 lb lady, I devoured that sandwich. The flavor wasn't an authentic Korean flavor, but it wasn't bad! It was more sour and salty for my taste. I think it would balance out more if there were no pickles, and a mixture of the kimchi carrot slaw + regular mayo based coleslaw. Szechuan Fries - The Szechuan mustard sauce is powerful and incredibly overwhelming. I do NOT recommend that sauce at all. I think if you order these fries, just OMIT that mustard sauce. I felt like all my sinuses cleared up and my eye balls were about to pop out. Dirty Fries - You can't go wrong with cheese fries. I am not a sour person, so I didn't enjoy the pickles on the fries. Our server, Brenna, was INCREDIBLE! She is the main reason why this review is getting a 5 star. She didn't know that it was basically our first time and she still gave us exceptional service. She was friendly, patient, and sweet. We ordered the Szechuan Fries because it was a free offer upon signing up for their rewards program. I told her I didn't like the mustard sauce and she offered to get us the Dirty Fries! I was like, "What?!" The fries were already free, so I didn't expect her to even offer a substitution. ALSO, for the Kid's Meal, she let us know that the side could be substituted for something else at no extra charge. If she didn't make that known to us, we would have had no idea. I'm glad she mentioned it because the boys LOVE mac & cheese, so that was perfect. Also, we were already getting fries, so it helped us to get more variety. All in all, the place is a little expensive, but I had a great time. The service was superb, the food was great, and I noticed that they are involved in the community. I love supporting businesses that give back. Thus, I would recommend trying this place out, even if it's just once!

Boy was I surprised to be seated by a hostess only to glance around to find a bar, enclosed patio and semi open kitchen. Did the meal itself differ from its fast casual counterparts? Not by much, but the offerings were more robust. I love to see pie on the menu alongside shakes, and while Mac and cheese and fries are welcome, orange chicken, Korean spices, broccoli salad, collards and heavenly eggs are a welcome change of pace. Our first trip (dine in) was about a 4-5 star experience. I waiter was not the most attentive and the food took quite awhile but the experience was positive enough for me to return. The second trip was a drive thru experience and it was...not as pleasant. Our service wasn't the best, our attendant less than enthused to be doing their job. A matter of fact, I felt like I was bothering her by ordering. While my food was fine, my sandwich came without napkins and again the food (one sandwich) took quite awhile. I'm unsure if I'll return with so many options in the area, but I'm glad I experienced them twice!
