    Molina's has several off menu items like Chicken Fried Steak and Jalapeña Ranch dressing. Bartender Santiago is always on point!

    Black Bean Empanadas
    Sabrina A.

    I called in an order to-go. I ordered the puffy tacos and black bean empanadas. The empanadas were absolutely delicious--crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. The puffy tacos were good too, though the meat was a bit greasy, causing the taco to fall apart. Overall, the food was tasty, and I would definitely eat here again

    Wire that was in my rice
    Amber A.

    Never again. Found this wire in my rice, literally chewed it on my first bite and all they could say was "sorry". Luckily it was myself and not my kids.

    Taco salad
    Nicki M.

    I love all the different seating options this place has to offer - both inside and out! I went for lunch and it was pretty chill and quiet. Our server was friendly and helpful. I had the taco salad with ground beef and it wasn't the best I've ever had but definitely good. The ingredients were fresh and the shell was light and crispy.

    Came for a quick lunch with co-workers, and this was the perfect place! The lunch menu provides many options to choose from. Upon arrival, we received a basket of chips and a wonderful set up of many dips: medium and hot salsa as well as some sort of avocado dip. All sauces were flavorful, and the chips were perfect - not too thick or thin, not oily at all. I ordered the lunch enchiladas, which came with a choice of beans (black, charro, refried), and side of rice. Plenty of food for lunch! I couldn't finish it all. Service was quick, and we appreciated that for our lunch hour. Ambiance was very nice on the inside. I would come back again for a dinner with friends or a date night! Give this place a try :)

    Service needs tweaking. My wife's meal came out 15 minutes before mine. She was done eating before I even started. Food was just so-so.

    Cute place but queso, rice, and beans were gross. Would never go back. They also charge for tortillas to go. Save your money.

    ambiance is nice, but the food is overpriced and painfully average. I've had better tex-mex.

    First time to visit Local Spot since we were in the area. Have visited their sister locations…read morenumerous times so we knew we'd be getting a great meal. The place seems to be in a community center so the area is beautiful to sit outside or walk around after your meal. The menu seems smaller but still has lots of great options. Love that they have an all day breakfast burrito on their menu. Chloe was a great server!!

    Local Table was one of those places that looked more impressive than the actual experience ended up…read morebeing. We were in Fulshear and wanted to try something different that we don't have near us, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the outside with an inside that has a modern, open design. You come in and seat yourself, and while there were several tables available, the restaurant definitely wasn't empty. There were people dining in the back room and out on the porch. It was a gorgeous day, but we opted for the AC. Service wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't especially attentive. It took a while for someone to come by with menus, and throughout the meal things just seemed to move slowly despite the restaurant not appearing understaffed. I don't mind a relaxed pace, but I also don't want to spend my entire afternoon sitting indoors at some random restaurant waiting around. We started with chips and queso. The chips were decent, but the queso was extremely thin and soupy--more like cheese soup than queso--thus definitely not worth the $10 price tag. Unless you love soupy queso. Then maybe it's definitely worth the $10 to you. For lunch, my brother and mom ordered The Local Burger with Fries and added avocado, my friend ordered the Beef Tenderloin Steak Wrap with Chips, and I tried the Spicy Buffalo Pizza because honestly, every menu starts looking the same after a while, and I wanted something different. Unfortunately, there were several issues with our order. Everyone's food arrived but my brother's because our server somehow assumed mom and he were sharing one burger since they ordered the same thing. They also forgot the avocado add-on for both burgers. Mom gave my brother her basket, and they shared the burger until his came, which was about 10 to 15 minutes later. Mom liked the fries because they came out hot and weren't overly salted, but neither she nor my brother really raved about the burgers. I think by then they forgot they asked for avocado, and we weren't charged for it, but that's kind of annoying to ask for something and nothing is said...they just quietly make sure not to charge you for it. The Spicy Buffalo Pizza was probably the biggest disappointment for me. I expected a more traditional buffalo chicken pizza, but instead it was kind of a layered, heavily drizzled mess that didn't really work together. The crust also appeared to be some sort of cornmeal-style crust that wasn't my favorite and didn't hold up well under the weight of the toppings. It was the kind of slice you knew would end up on you rather than in you, so I was really careful to make sure it hit the pizza board and not me. I ended up boxing most of it for my housemate. Mark wanted dessert, and they have something called "The Spot Ice Cream Sandwich," which is a brownie or assorted cookie with vanilla ice cream and toppings. Mom asked whether he could simply order the brownie by itself, and our server Victor said he would ask, but we never actually got an answer. One thing that really annoys me at restaurants is charging $4 for fountain drinks and then not keeping them refilled. Victor did eventually ask about refills, but by then the meal was basically over. Overall, this place wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. The atmosphere and design are probably the strongest part of the experience. I wouldn't necessarily avoid it, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to come back. What made lunch even funnier is that next door at Cross Creek Ranch, there's a hanging sign advertising an "observation deck." We had debated going before lunch but decided to eat first and then check it out afterward. Much like the restaurant itself, the concept sounded far more impressive than the actual experience. There really wasn't much to observe. I just found it amusing that both experiences ended up being equally mediocre.

    (+) Very neat venue, with both indoor and outdoor spaces (+)…read moreAmple seating (+) Free parking on the premises (+) Food was tasty (+) Service was attentive (-) Can get very crowded inside We came here to celebrate a milestone birthday for a friend. Similar to other recently opened venues that serve beer on tap and feature both indoor and outdoor spaces, there is something available for all ages in your party. Though parking is free in their lot, it does quickly fill up as the evening progresses. Our friends had reserved a few tables outside, but it also turned out to be the coldest day of the year, so we ended up settling inside. We sampled sliders, hot dogs, flat breads, pizza, pretzels, nachos, and chicken lollipops, which were served in metal catering trays along a long table. All the food items that were ordered were good. We did not order anything to drink, but the servers did a great job of coming by our tables to see if we needed anything throughout the evening, and he had quite a large party. The outdoor space is pretty large, with open areas of turf for lawn games and kids to run around. There is also ample outdoor seating, with a few food trucks along the outer part of the venue. Not sure if these are left out year-round, but they had these fire pit space heater/light sources between the tables that provided a nice touch to the outdoor space, especially as the evening grew darker. Although we don't live nearby, this was a great spot to celebrate a birthday, hang out with friends, date night, etc. I definitely recommend this place if you live on this side of town.

    With a name like Beer Garden I had NO clue they had craft cocktails. And such an ample selection…read more.. cocktail categories of refreshing & balanced, booze/spirit forward, tiki, tart, sweet & an entire list of over 60 classic cocktails! The atmosphere is really great & with inside, outside, & lounge seating, they have a vibe for everyone. - Inside is a large open area and the beers bar is located there. - Outside you have covered & uncovered seating and both areas lend themselves to a large group/party. Also there is an artificial grass open area which is setup for a great space for the kids to play. - The lounge is where the cocktail bartenders are located and is an inside, chill adult vibe. You order your beer or cocktails at the respective bars and then take your drink to your preferred inside, outside or lounge seating. If you order food at the bar, they give you a number & the food will be brought out to you. I was thoroughly impressed with the place, the concept. I hung out in the lounge so I can only speak about that service. All the bartenders were super friendly. They quickly acknowledged patrons as they approached the bar. Shout out to bartender, Rojas. He gave great drink recommendations based on sharing your preferences and was also great to talk to. I didn't have any food because they were out of chicken sliders & chicken lollipops. It was a Saturday late afternoon. On my way out I saw 2 food trucks on property by the patio area where u can order food. I highly, highly recommend trying this place! My experience was 4.5 stars, leaning toward 5. I will definitely return & may have to upgrade my rating after I eat & get one more experience here.
