    We had exceptional service with Ajonee! She's the sweetest waitress! We came in pretty late for dinner and the food came out promptly! The steak salad was sooo good! Steak cooked perfectly! This is the best steak salad! My husband celebrated his birthday! He had a $25 reward for his birthday! Sign up to get yours! The birthday slice wasn't complimentary and we didn't ask..: but it was the best chocolate cake! The slice was huge! It came out cold and it was so good that way! The kids meal came out like an adult portion! Great night out! Will definitely request Ajonee when we return!

    Bacon Wrapped Quail Bites (seasonal) are soooo yummy!

    The problem with chain restaurants is the inconsistency across locations.... But I have to say, Saltgrass SHENANDOAH never disappoints. I've always had an amazing meal and stellar service at The Woodlands location. Well seasoned steaks - cooked to the right temp & sear, a vast selection of appetizers and sides, Happy Hour offered M-F from 3pm-7pm, and if you're a member of the Landry's Club you get additional perks. Our favorite menu items are Quail Bites (seasonal), 16 oz Pat's Ribeye (cooked medium with extra seasoning and hard sear), Cattleman's Prime Rib (end cap!), garlicky Mashed Potatoes, and caramelized Brussels Sprouts. Kudos to the management & staff for never skipping a beat.

    Best steak I've ever had at Saltgrass thus far!!! I ordered the filet medium well and it was cooked to perfection! Melt in your mouth amazing-ness! I also ordered a side of blue cheese crumbles and smeared it on top for an extra treat...DEEEELICIOUS! Service was great! Managers were actively present and inquired with customers about their experience!

    Why are we rating this place low?! I love this location. Of course I never come during peak times so I can enjoy the service and my food. For example: I made a reservation online for a Sunday evening and no wait. They sat me in the front secluded section and I was not forgotten about or ignored like most places. Cody was on point and super friendly. Our waitress Cody was so cool. She made the best recommendations and en enhancements on what we wanted. Best judgment as everything was perfection. We had: Porter T-bone steak (medium) with the creole topping. With mac and cheese and asked for our Brussel Sprouts extra crispy. Caesar salad, yes could have a little more dressing but it was still very good.

    I've been to several Saltgrass locations, but these days, my parents prefer the one in The Woodlands. I wanted to take my parents to HRW, so I booked a reservation for a Sunday early evening. I'm so glad I did because it was packed. They were incredibly busy. So busy that they couldn't keep up with the utensils. It reminded me of The Bear. IYKYK. Natalie got us started with drinks and menus. Codie was our amazing server. She was on it and refilled my half and half tea without asking. This location worked like a well-oiled machine helping each other deliver plates and clean/pick up dishes as we finished each part of the HRW menu. As always, we started with the complimentary bread and butter. That's always a hit, but I ate just a small piece to save my appetite...or at least tried to. First course - My mom ordered the queso and tortilla chips. I like how they're cut in large rectangular strips, but some of the chips were stale and not crispy. The queso with the pico de gallo was good and had a nice spicy kick. The consistency was just right. I had the fried mushrooms with parmesan ranch. I always enjoyed their fried mushrooms. It was a decent size portion that was still shareable. My dad had the shrimp cocktail and really only ate that and not the greens in the cup. Second course - We had either the potato soup or tortilla soup. We all enjoyed it. I like the bits of potato among the pureed soup to give it texture. The potato is always cooked well and soft. Third course - My dad and I had the 12 oz. smothered ribeye cooked medium. It was topped with sautéed chopped mushrooms and onions and butter. It was cooked perfectly medium. You get to pick a side to accompany the protein, so we got mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were a tad too salty. My mom had the blackened redfish topped with shrimp and got a side of herbed rice. We all liked the dishes, but we were so full that we took most of it home. Fourth course - Dessert time! I had the strawberry and white chocolate cheesecake, and my parents had the carrot cake with cream cheese. I asked for it to be boxed to take home. Codie boxed our meals for us and told me about the Landry's program. I really should do it. When you first sign up, it's $25. When you get 250 points, you get a $25 reward back on the card. You earn a point for every dollar spent. There are so many restaurants affiliated because it's also owned by Fertitta. I live and have been to a lot of them. There's also hotels that you can get discounts and earn points. I would've had $50 back from having been to Brenner's on the Bayou just 2 days before and at Saltgrass. On other visits, I've also had the Caesar salad and prime rib with horseradish sauce. It's all yummy. We will always be a fan of Saltgrass. It's a family friendly establishment.

    This isn't the first time to this location and the bar always seems on the slow side. My wife and I sat at the bar and it took about 10 min to get drinks. It was busy, but with two bartenders it shouldn't take that long to at least be welcomed. It happened pretty much every time my wife and I need more drinks the 3 hours we were there. Another issue was the Texas Holdem red wine use to be on Happy Hour. I didn't see it as a choice on the menu but the bartender said it was on happy hour. It was not and later she didn't remember saying that so we paid full price. Which is fine if she would have just said that at the beginning. We ordered 3 appetizers this time and all were good and came out pretty quickly. The mozzarella cheese was really good. The happy hour menu is really good. We have had their steaks many times and they always come out great. We love coming here but they really need to work on the bartenders taking care of everyone not just their few favorites they stand around talking to.

    First let me say I love Saltgrass and have been to many locations including this one. Very consistent when it comes to quality, service and friendly staff. Xmas eve with 6:45pm reservation, seated by 7:05pm not bad at all as I expected a wait of between 20-30 mins as it was very busy. Plenty of staff and very friendly. This location has plenty of parking and tables... Party of 5 and our food was perfect to order..our waitress was great too.

    We really enjoyed our date night meal here. The restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the food all tasted great. We both enjoyed perfectly cooked and well seasoned steaks for our entree (ribeye and filet), the sides were also delicious (I loved the sweet caramelized tangy marinade on the Brussels sprouts), and the carrot cake dessert was a nice ending to the meal. The wine list was good too. The only downer for me was that our table was stuck in the center of a busy, brightly lit area, so the ambiance was definitely lacking. We would have loved a booth, but they were all taken. That said, we will definitely come again. All in all, this is a good value option for a nice steak meal.

    Our friends took us here straight from the airport for lunch. Conveniently located off the expressway, with plenty of parking, and were seated right away. A little dark inside the restaurant. Our server was friendly and very pleasant. Quick service. Bread was warm, soft, hint of sweetness, and delicious. Fried mushrooms not overly breaded and well seasoned. My 10 ounce rib-eye was huge!! Cooked perfectly to medium. Juicy and tender. Seasoned well. I had their Old Fashioned and it was just ok. I prefer mine on the slightly sweeter side and this one had too much bitters. I also prefer my Old Fashioned served with one large ice ball or ice cube and not nuggets of ice as presentation is key for me; and, using one large ice cube prevents it from tasting watered down. Overall, we had an enjoyable dining experience with friends and would definitely recommend.

Our waitress, Sarah, was exceptional. We didn't have to ask for anything. She suggested items off the menu and offered to get me the gluten-sensitive one when I mentioned I have an allergy. As part of restaurant weeks, I did the lobster bisque, filet mignon, and creme brulee (they subbed since I couldn't have any of the listed desserts). My husband had the meatballs, jalapeño salmon (which is very mild), and citrusmasu. Sarah recommended he should get it. We split a side of broccoli. The food portions were large.

Not because of the waitress, I asked to move a table over because I preferred the view from there. We were initially behind a pillar. The vibe was nice and some patrons were dressed way more casually than I expected. I know it's not a super duper fancy place but still, it surprised me a little. When we moved over we had a few other people tend to us, but Michael was the main one who would continue to come by the most. He was awesome. Super polite and friendly, attentive but not overly. I went out of the way to stop the manager and tell her he was awesome. In the same breath, I said the same about a gaucho named Diego. Apparently he's knew, but he was very friendly and would make casual conversation with us. All gauchos were good, but he stood out. Shoutout Michael and Diego!

I wish I would've taken more pictures but I was in the zone! I only managed to snag a picture of their shrimp appetizer. It was 6 large shrimp with cocktail sauce. It was solid but I'd probably order something different next time. Now onto the meats! I said yes to every single piece of meat that was offered to me lol. Sadly, the filet mignon was my favorite and came out last. So good! Super tender and flavorful. Easily my favorite. I didn't get a chance to try the Parmesan chicken which I remember loving from years ago. Other meats were all solid as well. There was a spicy meat that was runner up. I did make two goes at the salad bar and loaded up on deli meats, cheese, salmon, and their chicken salad. The cheese bread they bring out to you is good too. They brought complimentary polenta and caramelized plantains that were very good as well. I'll definitely be back sooner than later, and maybe sooner than anticipated because I did receive a promotional text from them for 50% off my next visit. I left so full I felt I was sweating haha.

The Amalfi Martini, Cucumber Martini and Smoky Rye Old Fashioned were all balanced, beautiful and some of the best cocktails we have had ever! Repeated the Smoky OF as the aroma and balance of sweetness and rye with the complexity of the smoke and spicy was so crave-able. Cloche presentation was nice. Apps- 5 star.

We are not lobster fans but this was the most tender and we have ever had. Oysters, clams, shrimp all good with perfectly prepared mignonette. The touch of lemon zest on the shrimp was very nice. Cups of tuna tartar (5 star) and seafood "salad" (3 star) were nice additions. Main courses- 5+. Specials are well thought out and complement the menu well. The add on list is exceptional and allows options. Had the Veal (melt in your mouth) osobucco and added two jumbo Hokkaido seared scallops for the ultimate surf and turf. Had the Seafood risotto special with Lobster, jumbo scallop, jumbo shrimp. The show stopper here was the Roasted Branzino $95 for 2 with mixed veggies. I cannot explain how flavorful the branzino was. The herbs, salt, pepper and crispy skin was life changing. They topped it with an amazing olive oil. The belly of the fish melted in your mouth.

The crispy cornmeal was perfect, the sweet chili glaze wasn't spicy but more like a sweet and sour sauce which sounds odd with catfish but it works! So delicious. And that bed of mushroom risotto- creamy, and with plenty of mushroom pieces, no skimping there and we're not taking about teeny pieces and sparse mushroom in this risotto, good size pieces and plenty! Although it was lunch we also added dessert- the banana foster egg roll, crispy on the outside, great cinnamon flavor, a delicious buttery sauce, so you can pour on top as much to as you like and a soft, sweet, delicious banana filling. Perfect end to the meal on a sweet note. and then also had the black Aji tuna nachos so good lots of flavor some citrus to it. Mushroom risotto amazing. Service: impeccable. Everybody was super nice very helpful and the ambiance was like a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere focused on comfort and unhurried conversation. I loved everything about the experience and would definitely go again.

    5 stars all the way for location, vibe, food, and service. A tad shocked though, as to how pricey…read moreit all got in the end - essentially a drink (cocktail and beer)-sandwich - dessert meal for two costing $92, including tax and tip. Ordered Prickly Pear Mezcal margarita, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing light IPA beer, cup of Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Caprese Panini on Focaccia bread with Herbed Fries, West Coaster Panini (Ham, Avocado, Arugula) on Ciabatta bread with Herbed Fries, and a Coffee Fudgy Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream to go. Service was fantastic with our server (Will) being very knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and food arrived quickly and were fantastic - the drinks were on point, the food ample in quantity and flavorful in taste. The Fudgy Brownie was divine! Well-done! As I mention above, the final tally was a bit shocking. Otherwise, a great place to hang out; planning to return to avail of the Mon/Tue $25 Wine and Bruschetta Board special.

    [EDIT only to correct to "Postino"]…read more I use the one-stars sparingly, I really do. This has nothing to do with the food, as we never got that far in the course of my miserable experience at this location (not sure if it's a chain or not). Walked into a relatively quiet restaurant somewhat later in the evening after strolling a bit in the summer Houston heat around the Woodlands. A couple of people recommended Postino. The issue arose when I asked for a possible menu modification. Specifically, I was trying to avoid GOAT CHEESE on the meatball dish I had my eyes on (which otherwise looked pretty tempting). The server indicated that they probably couldn't do it but I nevertheless requested this... a couple of minutes later the server returned with the bad news. Apparently, it simply had to be served as-is, according to the menu. This in itself wouldn't have got me to the point of writing this review. However, I, incredulous, was kind of laughing (you have to laugh) and said something like "so I can only order exactly what's on the menu, and the kitchen can't do anything different?" (slight paraphrasing, perhaps). There wasn't much further conversation with the server but within about 30 seconds of this exchange, a "manager" stormed over to the table and borderline-abusively shouted "is there a problem?!". This "mini-manager" as I will refer to her, proceeded to inform me that they could NOT accommodate changes because it would "violate the integrity of the restaurant" ... I of course I also found a bit humorous, and in this state inquired further about what sense it made to be so obnoxiously strict for someone just trying to grab a quick bite about 30 minutes before closing. I'm sensitive to the work involved in running restaurants and serving obnoxious customers, but I was NOT rude, obnoxious, or difficult. Just blown away by this treatment. I was then informed by the mini-manager that she was from LONDON which I assume meant I should accept that her cosmopolitan background and (I assume vast and high-level culinary experience) meant that I should shut my trap and stop being so picky. At this point I was compelled to mention that I, too, grew up overseas and was very surprised at this complete lack of flexibility. Within another 30 seconds or so of this dialogue, the mini-manager tipped the menu over on the table and abruptly shouted, "you know what, I'm refusing you service!" That made it all easy from there as we promptly (while laughing, partly out of shock) exited the facility. Huge disappointment and embarrassing in my view for a restaurant that seems otherwise to have maintained a great reputation - and especially so for the fact that service (and people in general) in Houston tend to be kind and accommodating, not typically RUDE or reactionary. I'm encouraging this restaurant to have a look at the service model. I can't say I'll try Postino again the next time I'm in Houston, but I certainly hope it continues to truly earn its 4.5 star rating, 'cause they sure did NOT when I was there this weekend.
