Great drinks and a one of a kind atmosphere in the heart of Katy. Service is off the charts fun and knowledgeable.

The structure is the exact same as it was when it was a functional rice mill in the early 1900s.

It's a historical place in Katy and it's very unique and has kept the place as authentic as possible. It's such a nice location with really fun events that cater to families, kids, adults, young and old. It's too cool of a place to miss out on. I definitely recommend checking it out at least once.

Super excited this place is open again, great space to hang out or have events. Fun drinks and lots of flavored vodka options to try. Great conversations with the bartender manger. Looking forward to coming again!

Julep and old fashooned

Nice outdoor bar area. The fans and shaded bar made for a comfortable setting even if it is hot out. All the cocktails were great that we tried. Julep and old-fashioned were the standouts. They don't have it on their menu, but they do offer flights so you can sample each of the spirits they make.

"Welcome home" is typically what you hear when you step inside. The owners are always so welcoming and the bartenders are always serving up something yummy. When you walk in, you go through a covered area to the bar and the sitting area, which is covered, but open. The tables are spaced apart enough to make you feel comfortable, so you can enjoy your drinks without getting accidentally elbowed by anyone consuming too much moonshine. My family frequents this place around twice a month and we love it because my kids can play the games they have there while the adults drink and they're still close enough for us to watch and make sure they're okay. I also love the fact that it's one of the few places I have felt okay with going during covid. I haven't been inside of a bar or eaten inside of a restaurant since last March and this place makes me forget about the pandemic for a few hours. You get to get out of the house and be around others in a safe setting and that's such a great feeling! There's normally a yummy food truck and some sort of live entertainment since they're only open on Saturdays and Sundays, so stop by and grab a box car punch or a wassail/apple cider with cinnamon moonshine and get a bite to eat from one of the yummy food trucks. You'll have a good time knowing you're supporting a local business and you'll be happy because you're drinking some delicious liquor.

It was my first time checking out the distillery this weekend and I liked it! There is a lot of room for everyone to sit outside. The drinks are very strong. I had one and I had to slow down right after that. There was a food truck in the back that you can order food from if you're hungry. I look forward to coming back again!

Vodka, White Whiskey, Aged Whiskey and Moonshine

MKT is a distillery which is about taste, ambience and experience. If you are a whiskey drinker, then definitely do not miss out their specially aged whiskey called "Engineer". The distillery is located right in the middle of Rice Silos of Katy which is definitely a Historical location. The staffs are very friendly and the owner Nicky and Nick are very knowledgeable. Good selection of cocktails they have.

The operation box for the silos. The barrels for the aging of the whiskey.

What a cool place that is preserving this area's history! We tasted all the different varieties and bought a bottle to take home. This is some of my favorite local bourbon. All the liquor was very good and unique. Ask for a tour and you get to see how they make it, all the best history of the silos and the giant scales. It's really neat! It's a good atmosphere and the people are so friendly. Will be back to support!

See all

I'm not the biggest liquor drinker but they had some of the smoothest whiskey and moonshine I've ever tasted.

Loved it! Definitely a five star experience. Food was amazing and the service was top notch.read more

What a great dining experience! This was my first time here. I was heading into heavy rush-hour…read moretraffic, so I decided to avoid it and stop to have a good meal before heading home. This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

As someone who frequents the Buzz and Bites in Spring Branch since it is right around the corner…read morefrom my house, I was excited when my job moved into a new office just one street over from the Katy location. I had been watching this one being built for a while and was especially curious to try it since this location has a full bar, which adds a really fun twist to the traditional coffee shop concept. I stopped in for lunch and decided to sit out on the patio which ended up being the perfect choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, bright, and inviting with a nice open feel that makes it easy to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in and everything moved quickly and smoothly. I ordered the guava mimosa and it was SO good. Light, refreshing, and honestly the perfect daytime drink. For food I had the chicken avocado wrap and substituted the chips for truffle fries and both were SOOOOO good. The wrap was fresh, warm, and packed with flavor and the truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade. I love that this location keeps the cozy Buzz and Bites feel while also leaning into a slightly more elevated vibe with the bar and patio seating. Between the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the great food and drinks, I can already tell this will become a regular lunch spot now that it is so close to our office.

I visited Buzz & Bites with a group of four, and the experience was pretty mixed. The wait to be…read moreseated wasn't too bad -- about 15 minutes -- and the place had a nice steady flow of people coming in and out without feeling overly packed. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We sat for about 15-20 minutes before even getting water, and we had to ask for basic things like a fork and napkins (which we ended up grabbing ourselves). The biggest disappointment was the food timing: everyone at my table received their meals, and mine didn't come out until about 20 minutes later. By then, I didn't even want it anymore and just picked off someone else's plate. What I did try from my friend's dish was decent, but the overall experience definitely wasn't a highlight. There were a lot of staff members standing around, so it was confusing why everything took so long. Not somewhere I'd rush back to, but hopefully they improve the service and timing because the atmosphere had potential.

When you come in, check in with the host, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - $63.50/person, and if you want to opt out of the meat, you can pay $39.50 for unlimited salad bar. 3. Ambiance - lighting is warm and dimly lit. The place is cozy and rustic, natural light during the day, leather chairs, and upscale feel. Dress code is business casual. This is a great place for a date, and spending time with family. 4. Food - amazing selection of meat. If you're a meat lover, you'll love this churrascaria restaurant. They have beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and shrimp. They have a salad bar also with all kinds of veggies and soup as well. 5. Cleanliness - Top notch cleanliness for tables, floors, and restrooms. SUMMARY I highly recommend this place. It's not an everyday occasion for us, but every time we go, it's worth every penny and the experience is phenomenal.

Constantly had servers pass me by when I had a green card showing. Third- Automatic 20% tip charge on your bill. Learn better customer service and not giving the customer to leave a tip percentage based on service quality is real tacky and low class. I will never dine here again and I highly recommend to stay clear of this place unless you already expect the above.

We have a senior furbaby who goes everywhere with us, and as she's aged, she can no longer be left home alone for long periods. Using the "Bring Fido" app, we searched for a pet‑friendly place to celebrate -- and to our surprise, our very own tradition, Perry's, was listed as pet friendly with an outdoor patio. It felt like everything aligned. Not only could we celebrate where we love, but we could do it without worry, with our little family complete. The ambiance was perfect, but our waitress, Max, made the experience unforgettable. From the moment she greeted us to the moment she shook our hands goodbye, she cared for us with genuine warmth. She treated our Bella as if she were her own -- bringing her a water bowl, a little plate of berries, and checking on her with the same attentiveness she gave us. Her smile never faded. When it was time to leave, Max surprised us with a to‑go bag and a hand‑drawn picture of Bella on it, wishing us a happy anniversary. That small gesture said everything about who she is as a person. We shared our experience with the GM, Arthur Seigmund, and let him know that now that we know Bella is welcome anytime, we won't be waiting for a once‑a‑year celebration anymore. Perry's has always been special to us -- but today, they made it feel like home.
