Intro: After checking out two bars in Clear Lake, we were looking to complete the trifecta. A quick…read moreYelp search revealed that there was a tiki bar 10 minutes away. I'm all about tropical vibes so we made our way over for a nightcap. Located in a shopping center, parking won't be a problem. We were there pretty late on a Thursday night. Ambiance (4/5): Tiki bars are all about ambiance. Hawaii vibes. What's cool about The Great Kanakas Atomic Tiki Bar, outside of their excellent name, is that they're indoors but the bar makes you feel like you're actually outside. I liked the concept. Relaxed with the vibes you would expect at a tiki bar. Service (4.5/5): We sat at the bar and our bartender was attentive and friendly. She even recommended an off-the-menu drink that other folks like which was a nice touch. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet so I'm not even sure if they have food. Drinks (4/5): When you're at a tiki bar, you're looking for a creative mix of flavors with a nice presentation. I went with a cocktail with such a cool name that I couldn't say no. You'll know it when you see the menu. It's a long name, sounds very Hawaiian, and you'll have difficulty pronouncing it. You'll get a kick out of it. While the drink were solid, I've seen more elaborate tiki drinks elsewhere. I'm talking the type where fire is evolved or fancy garnishes. Overall: Clear Lake surprisingly has quite a few cool bars. This is one of them.

We popped in briefly early on a Saturday evening, and were unimpressed. There was very little…read more"tiki" about the place other than the drink menu and the "hut" over the bar -- certainly not the music, which was pretty typical modern, and overall I just had the impression of a dingy bar. We tried a couple of drinks, and they were fine, and the bartender was patient and helpful. Perhaps it gets more interesting when it gets busier later at night, and sitting on the patio might be nice when the weather is cooler. This is just not what we're looking for in a cocktail bar, but YMMV..

I don't want to call out our server by name even though it is on the receipt. We've not seen him before. He couldn't manage a smile. Wasn't very friendly. My wife saw him make a sour face at us when walking away as I asked for more tea. He was equally rude to another couple that sat down next to us. Great opportunity for the manager to train him up or move him out. Your restaurant deserves better. My ratings are 1 for service and 5 for food.

On our way back to the hotel, we found Pappas Delta Blues Smokehouse on the map and decided to stop. The restaurant was very busy and we had to join a waitlist, but it was absolutely worth the wait! People in Houston kept telling us we couldn't leave Texas without trying Texas smoked BBQ, and this was the perfect place to experience it. I ordered the Prime Brisket Combo with smoked beans and coleslaw. Oh my goodness! I had never tasted brisket so tender and flavorful--it practically melted in my mouth like butter. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! The house-made BBQ sauces were delicious too--I tried every single one! The smoked beans, coleslaw, and bread were all wonderful. Hunter took excellent care of us and was very helpful explaining the dishes and drinks. Toward the end, Jonny also came by and kindly treated us to an apple dessert with vanilla ice cream that was absolutely delicious! The country décor, music, family atmosphere, and warm hospitality made the whole experience even more special. I returned to California already dreaming about coming back! Thank you, Hunter, Jonny, and the entire staff for making my daughter and me feel so welcome. We will definitely return the next time we're in Houston!

Houston Restaurant Weeks offers some great deals but Delta Blues takes it to another level. Part…read moreof the Pappas family of restaurant, this is their high end, elevated bbq stop that takes bbq and steaks to a new level. For starters, their HRW dinner menu sits at the low end price wise with a $40 option. Sure you can upgrade to a better steak but you can land a filet mignon on the $40 menu. Appetizers offered include a salad, a queso with sausage and chips and a boudin link. We sampled all. And because I love pork belly added their sticky pork belly appetizer to the table. First off, they don't skimp on the HRW portions. The waitress was clear that the boudin only had one link but it's was more than enough with the seasoned crackers, pickled onions and stone mustard. The queso features beef sausage and homemade chips. And the pig cubes are magic. Sticky and perfectly cooked. Mains too are well executed and plentiful. The steak eaters smiled big and those of us who opted for the triple bbq option were floored by the big ribs and the two additional meats that filled the plate. And than add 2 sides (bring an empty belly and plan on leftovers. Dessert is stunning as well. The cheesecake was light and fresh and the pecan cobbler an artistic delight. Shout out to the management who stopped at the table to discuss allergy precautions staff would take to protect a member of our party and to our super waitress Malaysia who handled our party with humor and kindness. She had a great handle on the menu and continually brought us containers for leftovers. The restaurant itself is relaxed but well appointed in the style you expect from Pappas. Run people!

I went at 430 for a pickup order and the entire restaurant was packed. Picked up their 5 LB crawfish boil bag for 35 which is a steal for Viet crawfish and shrimp fried rice for 16. The crawfish were seasoned really well with viet spices and were huge as it's peak season. The fried rice was flavorful with their star sauce and 1 lb of shrimp. A great spot and much more affordable option to nearby alternative like Crawfish cafe.

The ambiance is pretty chill with a few tables, but it is a smaller place, and most people were getting the poke to-go, which is what I did too.

My friend went next door and they said he is always running late bringing in groceries or something. Sure enough we waited to still give them a chance. He arrives at 12:19pm with groceries in hand. Saw us and didn't apologize for running late or said "I'll be right with you" nothing of that nature just ignored us. We were there with our 1 and 2 year olds. After he finished bringing in his groceries we waited another 10 mins as he still had his closer sign up and messing with the music. He didn't open the window for us till 12:31pm asking if we had cash because his card reader wasn't working. We said no so he said we needed to wait more till he got the reader working. We waited a few more minutes and said he would try to see if the reader would work he said no so I asked if we could Zelle him or something as I only had $7 cash, he gave an attitude saying he couldn't do that so I said that's fine we would just go somewhere else. Before we left my friend asked what time does he usually open as we were under the impression they opened at 12 he said he was just running late today but my friend said "well next door said you're always running late with groceries or something " and he just rolled his eyes and closed the window on us.
