    Food-- Philly cheesesteak: 5/10- super cheesy but mid, it's missing something flavor wise. The fries were crispy and cooked to perfection but I'm also not a fan of these types of fries. Added peppers and there were barely any in there /: Service-- They were kind, quick & attentive. Ambiance-- Went mid day a lil after lunch time and it was quiet with a couple customers eating indoor.

    I was rather impressed with the cheesesteaks here. They were really well seasoned, though I could see how they could come off a little high in salt. The fries were perfect! So crispy!! Service was quick and friendly, offering suggestions on how we could modify our order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quiet and decorated with cool old school signs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    This location has plenty of other options as well, but I've only had the cheesesteak, regular with not gravy.

    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!!

    Our experience was disappointing due to the way we were approached by the manager. We had simply…read moremoved a table in bar area and instead of politely explaining the situation, the manager came over and told us we couldn't because the table cost $5,000. While we completely understand wanting to protect expensive furniture, the tone and delivery came across as rude and made our entire table feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. On the other hand, I want to recognize our waiter, who was excellent throughout the meal. Raymond was attentive, friendly, and did his best to make us feel comfortable again after the interaction with the manager. His professionalism and kindness were the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food also fell short of expectations. In particular, I would not recommend the mussels. The flavor was unpleasant and left a very bad aftertaste, making them one of the least enjoyable dishes we ordered. Good customer service isn't just about enforcing rules--it's about how those rules are communicated. Unfortunately, the manager's approach, combined with the disappointing food, overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

    Another pleasant surprise in what I'm going to arbitrarily designate as a brunch fusion menu…read more Firstly, it's a very nice layout. Tables are well spaced plenty of room eight crisp environment really just a very comfortable ambience. The services superlative from the moment you walk in in which you are immediately accommodated to the server who takes an order and then the servers who serve the food which is not necessarily one in the same. It's simply a very efficient service system and very pleasant if you're a customer. You get warm food. In my case I had hollandaise with Salman underlying it, which was very good. The eggs were cooked perfectly the hollandaise not by any means obnoxious but a very deliberate Irving and a wonderful salad, which both underlines the egg and is served as a side with the eggs, which were perfectly poached. In so far as the buzz is concerned, there are wines and beer available and really quite an extensive menu in both. I enjoyed a beer with mine, which I know it sounds like an odd combination, but it worked quite well for me. Really this is a wonderful addition to Katy options for breakfast or brunch.

    I have lived near this establishment for almost 2 years now and have never tried it. So today we…read moredecided to give it a try and it was worth it 100%. They serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday until 330. The brunch menu is huge. It is not a super large menu, which I feel very endearing. We decided to try the bagel and lox with cream cheese, the Buzz burger with fries, and their homemade chips. They start off by bringing you this beautiful craft of bottled water. That to me was an amazing bonus. We also ordered two sodas which came in a can. I sort of wish it was a more of a fountain drink than one can of soda for the price. *Now service was super slow. However, the waitress did come and tell us that they are running a little behind and she apologized for it and she was super sweet, so that made up for the weight. How do I known how long it was going to take, I don't know if I would've stayed, but in the end, the food was amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend is a hamburger snob and he kept saying how good it was how fresh it was and how perfectly cooked it was. They serve you shoestring fries that feel like they're double fried and they were phenomenal. My bagel was toasted perfectly and had a very good amount of cream cheese and lox. As a Jewish girl living in the area that I do, it's very hard to find good bagels with lox and cream cheese. I will most definitely be back for this sooner than later. The homemade chips took quite a while to come out, and at one point I was ready to say we don't need it, but these potato chips beat Buccees beaver chips, 100%. They were super fresh and very crunchy and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend those to anybody that orders some. My boyfriend then ordered a tropical sunrise smoothie and it was so tasty and tasted like a strawberry banana smoothie. Now once again that did take a long time to come out and at one point, we were wishing we had not ordered it but once we did get it, it was really good and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very large and it's the perfect brunch spot for anybody looking for a smaller Cafe with very good choices.

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.

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.

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.

    Exceptional Dining Experience - Chance Provided World-Class Service!…read more​We had a fantastic evening at Perry's Steakhouse! From the warm, inviting atmosphere to the incredible food, everything was top-tier--but what truly elevated our night was our server, Chance. ​From the moment we sat down, Chance was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. He timed every course perfectly, made spot-on recommendations from the menu and drink list, and made sure our water glasses and glasses were never empty without ever feeling intrusive. It's rare to find service that strikes such a seamless balance between highly professional and warm and personable, but Chance nailed it. Beautiful 20 year wedding anniversary.

We also got the chicken that also comes with crab on top and a creamy sauce. Everything was so delicious! We will definitely be back!
