What's than an outdoor live music/punk/all genres watering hole and food stand? Nothing I tell you. Moon Tower has it all-FANTASTIC FOOD, amazing staff, more beers than you can imagine, and a huge outdoor patio. I had one of the best hotdogs I've ever eaten. All beef frank that was super juicy on a thick and soft bun. My boyfriend got the Crankin' Hog sandwich. That thing was legendary and insane! Insane good. Spicy salami, Black Forest ham stacked with house-made pimento cheese, pepperoncini, arugula, and mayo. He had a side of potato salad with it and said it was the best he ever had. What a freaking great place for humans to come together. read more

The food is pretty decent! I love that they have bunch of different meats! Because who just wants a boring plain dog! The place is outside so be mindful! It is covered but the wind and cold will still get in. They did have two heaters outside to help, but It didn't help lol There's a restroom, it's not the cleanest. But also this is not that type of place. There's lots of street parking, and you should always be able to find something. Overall I'd go back again read more

Moon Tower - Bacon Blue Cheese Potato Salad 2GO - Dive Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

What's funny is this is one of the earliest places I remember food from in Houston, but it was always a vague memory. I think the first time me and my friends went here it was after a night out and I'm not even sure of what's the reason we ended up stumbling across here. As someone who loves to expand my food horizons I was very intrigued to see just how many different meats they had for the hot dogs. I can't lie as if I remember exactly what I had back then but I do recall that it was good enough for me to feel that I would go back. After my recent visit, I know for sure that I would like to go back! There was about a decade between my first and second visit but both times I enjoyed the chill, outdoors vibe. There's heavy metal design in the branding, posters and some of the wall art but otherwise it's really just a nice outside park feel. It's the kind of place that's good to eat at but also nice to hang out at if you want some air. I believe they also host musicians there but I've not gone on one of those nights to say who that experience is. I can't recall the service from my first visit but I don't recall an issue so that's good. During my most recent visit the man who rob took my order was kind and helpful, which is honestly all I'm looking for. He also helped me go through the menu in deciding what I wanted to go with. If I'm not mistaken, I had the Duck Apple Brandy, Lamb Merguez and Wagyu hot dogs. The first thing that stands out to me from all the dogs is the snap. They all have a really good snap when you bite into them. One of the bad things about trying multiple similar things at one time and not immediately writing a review is that you tend to forget some of the differences between items. That said, they were all delicious, so you can feel comfortable in that regardless of what you get it is going to be good. I do remember that the Wagyu reminded me the most of a normal hot dog because as a beef hot dog it is the most normal. The Duck Apple Brandy was really good and the flavors worked well together. The Lamb Merguez was the most different of the three, but again on it worked. They all had their strengths, so it's hard to say which was the best, which means I need to revisit for more delicious research. They are known for their great selection of gourmet hot dogs served on pretzel buns with just as great house toppings to add on, but they also have burgers, tacos and sandwiches if you're not in a hot dog mood. The person with me got the Fatti-Baddi-Daddi Melt burger. It was cool but I don't think I was missing out by not having it. While writing this with you I found the picture from my first visit in 2015 and it looks like I had something that looks like a chili dog with grilled onions. I feel like it may have been a wild boar hot dog, because this was back when I was eating swine still, or a duck hot dog. Not many places are doing the work to make hot dogs a stand out worthy of leaving the house, so if you can appreciate a simple everyday item being elevated in every way, then this might be the place for you. read more

We stopped by here for a quick bite before another event and I am so glad we did! I didn't really know what specialty hotdogs meant until now. I was never the biggest hotdog fan, but realize that I've just been eating the wrong ones. I had the elk hotdog and it was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. The size was generous for the cost and tasted excellent with the bread. Their were numerous meat options, such as deer and rabbit. The service was friendly and quick and there was plenty of outdoor covered seating. It was very comfortable and accommodating for our large group. A great hidden spot! read more

Great place to hang out with good company and food! We came here with a group of 10 people just to hang out. My fiance and I did go to the rodeo and then met up at Moontower with our friends so we didn't eat alot but decided to order just a sampler plate to try some of their sausages which were really good! We let the cashier pick the sausages so I don't remember what we got. I just remember the sausages being very delicious and I'd come back to try other stuff also! We ordered 2 rounds of beers as well which my fiance enjoyed trying some different beers he hasn't had before. This place is outdoors and great for large groups since there's several long tables to fit 8-10 people. Dog friendly definitely and I think they have live music since we saw a stage but at the time (sunday) there wasn't anyone there. They did play music though so that was nice! read more

Food was bad. I ordered the Chong burger and it was over seasoned with black pepper. Server said "it depends on who's working". First time here and not a very good experience. Seems like a good place to hang out outdoors and drink beers with friends. read more

Love the patio! The servers are always nice. The beer is always good and the burgers are great! Good hotdogs and their platters will feed a crowd! Really recommend the platter if you want to try all the different meat options. read more

I've come to Moon Tower a few times now and have been happy with their service, food, and drinks. It's open air seating with lots of picnic style tables. Although some of the tables are located under some large fans. They have QR codes everywhere that you'll scan to look at their menu. Making it easy and accessible for everyone. We tried their Moontower Burger and were honestly surprised at how good it was. I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise and completely forgot to ask for no mayo but am glad I didn't. They also have a huge beer selection. My favorites are their nitro beers. I'll definitely be coming back for more burgers and nitro beers. read more

My friends and I came straight to Moon Tower as soon as we landed in Houston. We weren't able to catch dinner so we decided to grab a late night meal here. It doesn't look like they have any indoor seating -- all of their seating is outdoors but half of the area is covered. They also have heaters in case you get a bit cold sitting outside. Since it was late, my friends and I decided to share two items: Harvey burger -- it included lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, cheese, and their signature sauce. All their burgers come with a bag of chips as well. The burger had good flavor and it was cooked well. All the condiments complimented the flavors. Definitely would recommend. Lil Moontower Platter -- it comes with two dogs with stout kraut, mustard, southern caviar, and bread. We also opted to add in boudain. Apparently the southern caviar was pimento cheese and they make their own boudain in house. Normally, it comes in a casing but theirs don't. We decided to get their duck foie gras and lamb oregano dogs. I wasn't a huge fan of the boudain to be honest. It was my first time having it so maybe I'm just not used to it? I really loved the dogs though. They tasted great on it's own and with together with everything. They were super flavorful. The bread was toasted and buttery! Definitely would recommend! We also got some Duchesse Red -- it is one of my favorite beers. It's a Flanders red ale brewed with cherries. I believe the beer is Belgian and honestly, Belgian is the only place where they can make beer with cherries and it won't taste nasty. Tastes like juice! Really enjoyed the food and the beer here. Wouldn't mind visiting again. read more

It's like a food truck that serves beer :) Outdoor patio seating with communal benches' plenty of benches/tables but you may have to share with others when it gets busier at night, definitely a popular outdoor venue in this part of town and I've noticed people bringing their own mugs and regulars coming in at night. Parking is street parking so plan accordingly. Been hearing about their adventurous selection of wild meats like the Buffalo, Pheasant, Duck, Lamb, and Rabbit? the menu is extensive and features burgers, appetizers, tacos, and sandwiches. I wasn't a great fan of my duck Foie Gras dog but enjoyed their creative toppings/seasoning. I'd be interested in trying out the buffalo or a burger next time for sure. You can also pick and build your dog/burgers/or anything on the menu, very cool. Got to try a few of their house beers like the magic brownie and cobra shark, both were rich and delicious, the price point is a bit high for a small cup but the quality is good- glass may be worth the investment, excellent selection overall. Overall, would definitely come back and trying more of their creative menu. They also have weekday specials like BOGO burgers and drink specials so check their website out. read more

The staff were friendly and welcoming. Restaurant style service. I enjoyed the outdoorsy environment. The Elk hotdog was interesting, but it's not something I would order again. The flavors did not combine well. The Fat baddi daddi melt was amazing! Juicy and flavorful. Made to perfection. I would come again just for the burger. The hot dogs are a little too exotic for me. read more

Came here for "late night" noms because we had landed in Houston shortly before. Moon Tower is nice and open, with an "enclosed" area which was a little dark but also a fairly well lit "outside" area further to the back. We had ordered some food to share as it was fairly late anyway. Beer is instantly served upon ordering. Food will be made in the kitchen and picked up from the window around the corner (towards the back) with the number coin they give you (and they call out your number). Very friendly staff which helped explain what some of the things we didn't know where. LIL MOONTOWER PLATTER includes 2 of their wild game dogs (either picked by the person taking your order or you can pick ones yourself, we went with what they picked which was DUCK FOIE GRAS and LAMB MERGUEZ) cut into susage medallions, served with stout kraut, creole mustard, and southern caviar (pimento cheese). We were recommended to add a lil' boudain (typically a Cajun sausage made from seasoned rice, pork, and pork liver stuffed into a casing BUT their's is not in a casing) This was a GREAT item to share between the 3 of us. It comes with a mountain of toasted bread on the side, with small cups of creole mustard, stout kraut, southern caviar (pimento cheese), and the additional boundain. The 2 sausages were cut into medallions for easy sharing. You can do various combinations of how to eat everything or just eat it as is. Boudain apparently is a thing down here. Typically its in a casing but theirs is not. Delicious either way HARVEY BURGER is a 4 oz angus patty served on a sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, american cheese, and their super special secret sauce and a bag of chips) Well made burger. Soft bun. patty is well seasoned and the cheese was melty. Definitely a burger to recommend if you like burgers. Whatever bag of chips they gave tho was SUPER salty. I couldn't keep eating it. Main reason we came here was for their SUPER ULTRA SPECIAL LIMITED beer DUCHESSE RED by BROUWERIJ VERHAEGHE... DELICIOUS ! i typically dont like cherry anything besides the actual fruit. Overall, nice place to chill at. Was nice to visit since it was open late. The platter was great to share between the 3 of us while catching up and chatting. read more

Horrible place. Waiter so rude. It's not kids friendly. They do not have a baby changing table and you can't even bring baby food to feed your baby. I brought some eggs for my baby and I was told that I couldn't bring food from outside not even for my baby. I had to change his diaper (only pee) and I did it in an empty bench since there was no other place to do it. I wiped the bench after I was done. I was told that I couldn't change diapers here. Because people eat here. While you can see bird poop on the benches. People coming with dogs and they pee and poop here too. He was so rude that he made me cry. Never coming back. read more

Came here after a market we attended nearby in the evening and I thought this place was a neat local find. It's outside seating only, but had very chill lighting that set the vibe and paired along with a very nice playlist. You can order at the front bar counter or you can grab a seat and a server will take your order. Menu items that caught my attention were their burgers and hot dogs. I opted for a Wagyu Hot dog topped with fresh jalapeño, diced onions, & their sauce. I also got a side of their xxx spicy sauce - & it was indeed quite spicy but I also very much enjoyed it. Warning tho, if habanero spicy and up isn't your preference, I'd recommend skipping it. When you order the hot dogs, you can add the chef recommended toppings for $2 extra or you can customize your toppings individually but they charge for each topping individually as well. I felt that was a bit pricey tbh for hotdog toppings. The hotdog itself was good but nothing too crazy to rave about. My boyfriend and brother got burgers and enjoyed their meal with no complaints. Overall, I mainly liked the vibe here. Staff was very friendly and set up is great for a chill night out with a group of friends or family ( i did see kids and dogs here). It'd be nice if they put in some ceiling fans or a portable AC under their covered area considering we're in Texas and approaching peak of summer but the night we came, it was still breezy that evening. I'd come again when in the area. read more

Nut allergy friendly: Nothing they have uses nuts! Unless there's some rotating pecan beer. Parking: Street nearby Order-to-Entree: 10-15 minutes on a Friday night! One of the cornerstones of unique Houston spots. I've been going to Moon Tower for years and have seen it evolve from an outdoor open-air spot to having a full covered pavilion. Through the years, the hot dogs have remained loaded and very reasonably priced. I've had almost everything on the menu. One hot dog is great for a snack; two hot dogs or one hot dog and a taco (huge fan of the Sabbath) are great if you're hungry. I almost always order Chef's Choice of toppings plus sauerkraut. Awesome vibe. Great hot dogs. Great beer selection. Must-go if you're in the area. read more

Is this place a total dive? Certainly. Hair in my food? Check. Dude sparking up a joint a few feet away from my toddler and newborn? Check. Running to the toilet the same night with gurgling in my stomach? CHECK! Was it all worth it? You bet it was. Motherhood has certainly tarnished my ability to appreciate divey bars/restaurants (and trust me, I've spent many blissful nights at much grimier establishments) but I will say that the dogs here are DELICIOUS. Loved the elk. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. Can't beat that. read more

Moon Tower has a really chill atmosphere--perfect for hanging out with friends or just relaxing with a good burger. The staff is always friendly and quick, which makes the whole experience even better. The burgers themselves are fantastic: juicy, flavorful, and made just right. That said, I can't help but feel like something's missing without fries on the menu. Burgers this good are practically begging for a side of fries to complete the experience. If they ever added them, it would make Moon Tower pretty close to unbeatable. read more

Looking at this place you don't expect anything extraordinary. Looks like it may have been an old drive in that is now used as a restaurant. I went to visit again on Saturday. It's was my 5th time there. I initially fell in love with this place because they had the best boudain burgers. Like mouthwatering. But it's not currently on their menu. I ordered the Southern Caviar, which is pimento cheese with buttered bread. I'm a country girl through and through and it tastes like my grandma made it. That's how delicious it is. Also ordered a burger called the Grim Reaper, it's was HELLA spicy, yet I couldn't stop eating it. It comes with a bag of Zapp's chips. I washed it down with a strawberry mimosa cider. Food is ordered at the bar, and delivered to you really quickly. Yum! Can't wait to go back. read more

I haven't been here in almost a decade since I got absolutely cooked by the grim creeper burger. Don't think that's on the menu anymore. Dropped by for a late dinner after a round nearby at East River 9. Happened to be BOGO burgers and we opted for the Cheech burger and another crazy burger of the options. Both had great cooks, toppings, and amazing buns. Definitely agree that it's a top tier Houston burger. Connor was very helpful behind the bar, and service was very attentive to get trash off the table. The place was packed and very busy for how late it was. Great spot outside and will be even better when it gets cooler. Looking forward to coming back. read more

So I came to eat with some friends , I started eating my food and I could only taste burnt hash browns.

A+ folks working here. Great craft beer selection and wild food options. Always trying to support the community whether it's supporting locally made beers, promoting local bands, doing fun markets for local vendors to sell. They are the best. read more

Why oh why did I wait so long to visit Moon Tower Inn. It is probably one of the oldest bookmarks I have on Yelp. Well, I finally pulled it from the bottom of that list and paid this place a visit. After a few cocktails nearby, we were looking for something to eat before heading home. Parking is street parking. You order your food and you have your choice of two types of outdoor seating. One under a covered patio type area or a large spacious open air patio. Both have plenty of communal type benches and tables. Customer service was great. The staff know their beers and their meat really well. Ask for suggestions and they will get you something you like. I will say, there is a wait after you order, so pack your patience. The only thing I knew about Moon Tower prior to coming was that they had great tubular meat. What I didn't know was that their selections were wild game that was totally chef'ed up. The offerings vary visit to visit, but they have the things like duck, pheasant, buffalo, pork, etc. So you pick what they call their World Famous Tubesteak and pick from a variety of their toppings. It's not your typical toppings either. It's things like sambal mayo, black pepper catsup or creole mustard for example. I got a rabbit with sambal mayo, fresh onion, feta cheese, fresh jalapeño and cilantro. I'm glad I only got one because this thing was hefty. It came on a pretzel bun that was the perfect vessel for the dog and toppings. The rabbit hot dog was absolutely delicious. It was seasoned to perfection and had that nice snap when I bit into it. It was my creation of flavors and toppings and I gotta say it was perfect. I also foolishly got a Fat Taco w/ beef thinking the hot dog wouldn't fill me up. I forced that upon myself, but it was delicious as well. I washed it all down with a Burlington Raspberry Whale Cake beer, which was a fruity cream ale. Delicious! Burgers are also an option which can be made with chicken or veggies as well. If I lived closer, I would be here atleast once a week. I can't wait to go back! read more
