Great food and always consistent. I love the salads, Burgers and Salmon. Restaurant is clean and well maintained. Service personnel focus on hospitality and friendliness. Happy Hour margaritas and wine are good deals with nice prices. One of my fav go to places. Try it soon! read more

My wife, daughter-in-law and grandbaby-boy enjoyed a liesurely lunch. My wife enjoyed a couple chicken enchiladas with refried beans and some tasty Mexican rice. Our daughter-in-law enjoyed a southwest bowl with chicken, brown rice, avocado, slaw, pico, roasted peppers, tortilla strips, black beans and chipotle dressing...she said it did need a skosh of salt. I went with the mesquite grilled pork chop, it came with sweet tater fries and grilled veggies, it was very tasty. I think this is owned by the same people that have Los Tios and Adair's Kitchen. The grandbaby snacked off of all our plates. read more

I had the salmon main (4/5) and it was tasty and grilled to medium. The sides were yummy and there were plenty of teas, soft drinks, and flavored waters to drink. The nachos with queso and ground beef (4.2/5) is definitely worth a try. The service was counter-style, but friendly, and the ambiance is nice and casual. read more

I was really craving chicken tenders so I came here for lunch with my cousin after a zoo visit. My go to's here are the burgers and tenders. Tenders are seasoned well, crispy, and juicy. The basket comes with fries, country gravy, and Texas toast (can get 3 or 5 tenders). Great food, good vibes, and affordable prices (3 tender basket under $10). It's just a cozy and friendly spot to eat. Cons are parking and seating. Parking lot is big but always packed. Seating here gets cramped. read more

Just had lunch there with my co-worker. Really great place to have lunch. He had two fajita tacos and side of fruit. The tacos and salsa looked great. I had the grilled chicken salad and it was delicious. Great staff, from the cashier to the food server, really friendly people. read more

Really miss this place in Katy. Food is always good here. I ordered the deluxe chicken skeeter with fries and side of honey mustard. The chicken was flavorful and tender and the honey mustard was delicious. They need to bottle it up & sell it. The margarita was good too. The only issue we had is that it was 4 of us meeting for dinner. Two of us got there early and when we ordered, we asked the young lady at the counter if they could please hold off putting in the order until the rest of our party got there so we could all eat together and she said that was fine. That didn't happen. I understand that there's a system in place and we would have held off putting our order in if told differently. Other than that, it was all good. read more

I hadn't been to this restaurant since I had my end of the season baseball team awards dinner way back in the 5th grade. We used to come here as a team at the end for trophies, awards n such from 1st to 5th grades, then did Fuddrucker's on Buffalo Speedway for my middle school baseball dinner awards. So it had been a long time for sure and brought back memories. I ordered a Hamburger togo with just a few slices of tomato and some pickles. I tend to often prefer a good burger to be simple to really taste it. It was very delicious, good quality for sure, real beef and juicy in every bite from the meat-buns-toppings added. The meat was beefy n hearty in taste with some good grill flavor to it. It was crumbly as you ate it, which is a good sign of real beef not needed to be cooked too much either. I do think a little more seasoning would've made it excellent, but it was enough all in all to be a solid A. I would get it again for sure. The buns were very soft and fresh not outweighing the meat ratio. The tomatoes n pickles were cool, refreshing, firm and juicy to the right degree. One of the best cafe burgers in n around Houston imo. There are some places that dropped off over the decade and hard like Miller's, Cliff's, Southwell's possibly, but oh well. Great, friendly service here as well. read more

Online and even at the tables it says they do a Saturday breakfast Buffett - apparently they do not do that anymore. Mentioned to the staff, didn't seem to care. Ordered breakfast: potatoes were cold. Biscuit is bland and stiff. Eggs bland. Kid got chicken tender basket - wouldn't eat it because they taste like pickles. read more

So good I stopped by twice in the same week! The tacos here are *chefs kiss* brilliant! The service is quick and my whole party was pleased! Everything was clean even for how busy it was. I'm not from Texas but when I visit again, I know exactly where to start eating! read more

Skeeter's Mesquite Grill - Mexican rice, fruit, beans - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

A neighborhood spot for American and grilled Tex-Mex inspired eats. Order at the counter and then seat yourself; they will bring your food out to you. Food is cooked to order, so the grilled items come out fresh which is nice. I had their grilled chicken sandwich and it was simply executed with no frills, just how I wanted it. Their sweet potato fries were a hit as well. Lots of TVs showing a variety of sports, so would be a good family place to catch a game. Parking - large shared lot. read more

Wanted to try something different since I've lived out her for a year, so went to try Skeeters! They have tons of food options on the menu, even the pickiest of eaters could find something they like! I went with my boyfriend and sister, and we all got completely different things! I went for a safe bet and got the chicken tenders. They were actually really good! I've decided that this restaurant is a must for to go orders whenever I'm feeling lazy to drive far! read more

Terrible place, they give you no food, paid 15 dollars for a burger that is smaller than a quarter pounder

Hush Puppies? More like Sick Puppies! Skeeter's Restaurant is a TOTAL DISASTER! Served my beautiful pregnant wife RAW FISH! Can you believe it? Very dangerous! We've been going there for 3 YEARS, twice a week. Loyal customers. But now? NEVER AGAIN! This is the THIRD TIME they've given us undercooked food. Once, maybe a mistake. Twice, bad luck. But THREE TIMES? That's CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE! And get this - it's the third Adair Concepts restaurant we've had to QUIT because of TERRIBLE SERVICE. Sad! When we complained, did they care? NO! Just a shrug. No apology. No offer to make it right. After all our business! DISGRACEFUL! AVOID Skeeter's and ALL Adair Concepts restaurants! They don't care about customers or PREGNANT WOMEN! Many people are saying there are much better, safer places to eat. Time to WAKE UP, Adair Concepts! Without customers, you're NOTHING! Just empty tables and a FAILING KITCHEN! Make Restaurants Safe Again! read more

My wife and I attended a birthday celebration lunch at Skeeter's. She ordered blueberry pancakes. I went with a traditional cheeseburger with onion rings. Foods came out fast. The pancake stacks were huge and full of blueberries. My wife said it was puffy and tasty. My cheeseburger was on the smaller side with fresh ingredients. The beef pattie needed some salt. Onion rings were ok. The counter service was friendly. Busboy removed empty plates, baskets, and utensils promptly. Overall, it was a nice meal in a nice casual atmosphere. read more

First time eating here, food was very good. I ordered the Bacon Cheese Burger very tasty and a Coke Zero to drink. The location was very clean, quiet. But the real reason for my review was the excellent service, from the cashier to the wait staff. I have never had such great service friendly and very attentive staff. We were group of 10 people, everyone on staff top notch. You will enjoy the food and service a guarantee. read more

It was my first time eating lunch at Skeeters and I was impressed! The, drinks, food, and service were amazing! I had expectations but it blew it out of the park because it was one of the best restaurant services I ever had in my life along with the other restaurants I had been to in my life! Definitely, highly, and so Recommended! And the Ambiance were amazing as well! read more

Skeeters did a great job of catering breakfast tacos for a party! The service was great: they let me order over the phone, sent me a digital receipt, and had the tacos ready on time. And the tacos were delicious: the flour tortillas were clearly homemade; the portions were generous; and the tacos tasted great! read more

This review is for the breakfast buffet specifically. Despite what the website says, Skeeter's serves it from 8 AM (not 9) until Noon on Sundays, which I confirmed via a phone call to the restaurant. Me and a friend arrived a little past 10AM, and everything that was out was still hot and fresh! The buffet was placed a little awkwardly; one end is near the kitchen window where servers collect 'menu orders', so I was often dodging people on my way up to get food. This isn't helped by the fact that it's very dark inside the restaurant, and the dining room also becomes pretty cramped with the buffet in action. When it gets busy - and it will - you'll find yourself constantly looking for the least awkward way to squeeze past other tables. But at least the buffet includes a build-your-own omelette station; toppings include ham, bell peppers, mushrooms and cheese, plus more I probably can't remember. The guy running this station seems to have his own tip jar, so feel free to bring a couple of small bills up there while you wait for your order to be made, fresh in front of you. It only takes a minute, but as it is just one guy with a single burner, expect to see a line. The rest of the buffet is also well-stocked; meat options include some bacon (pretty fatty, didn't like this too much) and some pretty decent sliced smoked sausage. After this was a basket of their house-made tortillas, a metal server with two kinds of scrambled eggs (the 'special' eggs just seemed to have chopped tomato added?), and some chopped potatoes and grits. The grits were pretty bland - and the potatoes didn't look too appetizing, but were cooked with garlic and herbs and tasted better than they looked. Other carb options included tamales with refried beans on the side, pancakes and biscuits, with syrup and white gravy both being kept warm. And last of all was fresh fruit; the star of the show for me, with one of the best selections I've seen on a buffet! Three kinds of melon, pineapple, blueberries and strawberries. Drinks aren't included with the buffet, but there's a good variety of options. Regular or pecan hot coffee, three kinds of iced tea (sweet, unsweet, and unsweet blackcurrant), a soda fountain, and iced water is offered with added cucumber or lime, mint leaves and lemon wedges on the side. The only downside is there's an entirely separate dispenser for ice - and since we were provided with clear cups, it didn't work unless we waved our hands in front of the sensor. It was kind of hard to get used to and didn't work very well, either taking a few attempts to dispense anything at all or shooting out way too much. Overall, it was pretty good. A little over $15 (as of March 2023) gets you all-you-can-eat, and soft drinks are priced reasonably. It's not the most efficient setup - but if you're willing to deal with a few minor annoyances, arrive hungry, and it'll keep you going all the way until dinner! read more

Ordered a baked potato with beef to go on Saturday at 6 pm. Potato was dark brown and crusty/dry. Preparer had to see all of this when cutting the potato to add condiments. Took it back to the restaurant, gave to the manager and asked for a fresh item. Manager requested another potato to go. No customer service professionalism from the manager at all. Never said sorry about that or anything of the sort. After another potato was prepared - manager said "here ya go". Acted just like he had done me a big favor. In addition to not offering an apology (or excuse for the poor quality item during a none-busy hour), the manager never even said thank you or come back. I thought I would give them a second try to a prior poor experience when they served me a taco salad with the lettuce so wet that the bottom of the taco shell stuck to the cardboard box holding it and had to be returned. Much of the same service from the manager that time as well. Oh well I'll avoid and save myself trouble . . . read more

Not to be confused with Ski-ers (people who slide down mountains on metal poles and hurt themselves) or Seaters (people who sit you down... sometimes on them), or Sweeteners (Ari Grande albums). This is a friendly place serving Mesquite style food, which tastes pretty good, on the bland side of spiciness but still with a nice flavour. The Mesquite chicken is usually my go-to, and I eat it on days when I lift weights, and it's not bad. Having said that it could be a lot better. It's not my kind of food and it's a little bit on the expensive side. I also noticed that a lot of the reviews are fake, but this is Houston, and Houston Yelp for some reason is totally not taken care of by the powers-that-be and has more fake reviews than I've seen anywhere. So I can't hold it against them for doing what most of the other restaurants seem to be doing too. It's probably more like three stars but I bumped them up to 4 because of nice service. read more

They have the best grilled chicken salad in town! The good quality is consistent and the service is friendly.

I decided to try Skeeter's after probably 5 or more years. Gone, is the beef plate, but they still have just as an amazing rewards program as they've always had. If you join their rewards program, you get a free $5 welcome reward as well as a $10 birthday reward during your birthday month. I chose to use the latter. I ordered the small chips & queso, which cost $4.95 and came with a big basket of chips - I couldn't end up eating them all, and a cup of queso. The queso was hot & creamy and I even used some of it with my meal. They have several big screen TV's around to watch the game you're interested in. I ordered the grilled chicken dinner which comes with a grilled chicken breast, but as you can see in the photo came with another 1/3rd of a grilled chicken breast. The plate also came with borracho beans & rice and flour tortillas. The grilled chicken comes sizzling on a bed of onions - fajita style. The plate is usually $14.95 Everything was tasty & delicious and I would definitely be back. I also added a small drink for $2.95. Thanks, Skeeter's! read more

Delicious! My co-workers and I ordered lunch on a Saturday, 2 burger meals and 2 tacos, it was ready within 20 minutes for pick up. The brisket taco with the corn salsa and spicy mayo was the absolute BOMB! The brisket was perfect! The flour tortilla was warmed on the grill with cheese so it had that crispy cheese crust. It was absolutely fantastic! The guys both got the bacon cheese Skeeter burger and they were BOTH ready to take a fat nap after! We were completely satisfied with the food, prep time and atmosphere of the place when we picked the order up. We are all 3 taking about going back for lunch/dinner, or maybe even weekend brunch with our families. First timers, but definitely not last timers!! read more

Skeeters is our neighborhood burger joint. Walking in just feels right. The staff is always smiling and makes us feel at home. That's plus points right off the bat! But let's face it the real reason we come back time and time again is the food! With the current fad of smashing burgers all over it's great to get a nice thick smoky tasting burger. You definitely can taste the mesquite's subtle taste and it makes these burgers stand apart from the rest. Go for something different, something better!! read more

Really love having this place as an option for a delicious lunch--not too expensive, clean tabletops (they put a large paper table "cloth" for each group) and the food items aren't too greasy. Plus, they have quite a few healthy options. Love the tacos! read more

The taste of the food is great! However their burger size is a kids burger. Maybe next time I'll order a double meat burger. The service was great and the restaurant was very clean and comfortable inside. read more

Be careful! The cleaner they use to clean the tables are so strong if your skin is sensitive you can get a rash or chemical burn! We went to the zoo and had lunch there after. When we got there the booths weren't ready so we asked a guy to wipe it down and whatever he used to spray the wooden benches was so strong it gave me a bad rash/chemical burn that itches and stings. I didn't do anything different in my routine and the placement of the burn tells me it was from sitting on those benches and we watched him spray it all and wipe it. I would be careful! I hope they don't use the same cleaner in the kitchen near food prep! read more

Moved away so was excited to come back to Skeeters. What a difference two years makes. Grilled chicken came our sizzling, popping out grease onto me and my outfit. I tried to cover it with napkins. It would not stop. I have had griddles before and have never been burned by it. Also the rice was burned, manager says that always happens. He brought me extra rice, thank you. But issue was i paid $29.00 for dinner and suffered thru it. AND I WAS STARVING!! Also, our $5 beef taco was full of grizzle so there went that. Gee, you used to do better than this. DO BETTER!! I remember better!! read more

This is a reliable spot. The service and food is always good. Always easy to get in and out.It is a local spot that you see local people and is kid friendly. They have a few screens and a light bar. Overall I do recommend and would visit again. read more

This place is one of my favs. The mesquite aroma inside is the best. My go to are the Baja tacos. My choice is grilled & I get 1 fish & 1 shrimp with grilled asparagus. The dish comes with chips and salsa too. Grab a large margarita & you're happy happy happy. My husband usually gets a burger. They use potato bread for the buns & made to order-delicious. read more

Yikes. We ordered breakfast from here one day and it looked decent from the images, but to our surprise it was far from it. The food was lacking taste and very much resembled food that comes out of the freezer rather than being fresh. The biscuit was hard as a rock and the gravy was plastic looking. We were not impressed with the food at this restaurant. read more

We have been customers ever since they opened. The best food, employees, margaritas, and atmosphere! We LOVE Skeeters!

The workers were very rude. Our experience at skeeter's was not like it used to be. We came thinking it was very family friendly it was not. We got rushed to order. Other customers hogged tables & were very rude. I'm a new mom and thought it would be perfect. It was not. It's not like it used to be. Absolutely unacceptable. Food was okay. read more

This place never disappoints. I've been going here for the past few weeks every week with our office staff and they frequent this place since it's quick service and the portions are just the right amount. I love that their tacos come with chips and salsa since some places don't offer a side to accompany their tacos. Their breakfast taco is yummy and it's not even the eggs and bacon...it's the TORTILLA that really makes the taco. It's really soft and huge and I think that's what makes it taste even better. Their fried fish tacos are really yummy too. These are the only items that I have been ordering these past few weeks. I highly recommend this place if you work around the area and don't have much time to spare for lunch since they are pretty fast. We have also ordered to-go before too and they provided a bunch of chips and salsa to accompany our tacos! read more
