Skeeters in Kingwood has been around as long as I can remember! My husband and I ate lunch there today. His hamburger was not cooked properly and when he returned it to the counter, the older lady that he talked to, rolled her eyes. I got the chicken strip basket and my Texas Toast was burnt. When I returned it, they said they are having issues with their appliances and the heating elements. This sounds like an important thing if you are cooking people's food. I will say the Lady at the register was very sweet and helpful which we appreciated. Food quality does not seem to be what it has been in the past. Ambiance is typically nice! We like going there.... Just hope this isn't the beginning of them going down. read more

Skeeter's Mesquite Grill - Front of the restaurant - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kingwood, Texas

We have been going to Skeeters for years now. I used to always get a burger because there amazing. The past few times I have had the pork cho. The Mexican dinner is great too. The staff is pretty friendly and the food always comes out pretty fast and hot. A few years ago they remodeled the dining room and got rid of most of the clutter. Now they have a cleaner more modern look with a private room in the back. read more

This is a good Kingwood spot that has withstood the test of time. It's one of our favorites for weekend breakfasts or lunch with friends. The food is all cooked to order, nothing sitting around under a heat lamp. We get a mix of things; I am partial to the Breakfast Enchiladas or the Breakfast Tacos and my wife loves the Sausage, Egg, & Cheddar Biscuits for breakfast. For lunch we like the burgers and Tacos or if I am trying to eat healthy I get the Skeeter Bowl. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant and they have a large room in the back for groups to use. In the summer they keep the AC nice and cool so you can take a break from the heat. Restrooms are clean and well attended. Give Skeeter's a try, you won't be sorry. read more

We eat here twice a month ooooffff this visit such a sad moment Super long wait Wrong order The girl at counter taking orders was sooooo "stressed" fired it was off the table Your our one place in kingwood we look to for consistency...:( read more

I eat here at least once per week. I'm drawn to the fantastic salads and wonderful fish tacos. Yesterday my husband and I decided to have lunch here and were offered a brand new seasonal item: POTATO SOUP. It was excellent! It took me back to childhood memories when my mom made Potato Soup. I'll definitely be ordering it again on the next visit. To top it all off our waiter, Zane, was excellent. He always is; making it a nice start to each and every visit. read more

I've eaten here one other time and it was ok. This occasion I was disappointed. Stopped in for lunch and ordered their Skeeter bowl with chicken. When the plate arrived, I was like, where's the rest of my salad? I could see the bottom of my bowl. Chicken was dry and for kale, it was barely 1/4 cup of kale. Lastly, this dish was $15. I could've went to Kroger/HEB and got a prepackaged salad with the same ingredients for way less than $15. I won't even explain how my husband's dish was pretty much the same and at over priced for what we were served. We are regular restaurant visitors and know what dishes are normally priced at and this was way off. Skeeters should bulk up their content of those dishes for the prices listed or lower the prices. Response to owner since I cannot directly reply in Yelp: I believe I explained clearly what my experience on what I ordered was like. I'm not looking for any free handout but only to communicate what my husband and I received when we ate here. Thank you Molly but I will pass. read more

I've been to Skeeter's a few times since moving to Kingwood 10 years ago but have made it more common in the past 6 months. I meet some girls from church here every month for Bunco, so Skeeter's has become a staple. I'm also gluten intolerant, and their menu has several GF options. When my parents were in two months ago, we took them here, and they raved about their service and quality of food. My dad said the Turkey burger was the best he's had. My mom commented on the large portions they provide. They also split a potato and still had to bring some home. My constant order is their shrimp tacos (I make it a plate with chips and salsa). They do accommodate for GF and will grill the shrimp then put them in corn tortillas. They also have a chips and queso happy hour special M-F. If you want Tex Mex, there are several options as well. It tends to be busier on Friday evenings, so get here early, especially if you want a booth. The food is reasonably priced, especially with what you get, and the staff are extremely accommodating. We will continue to come back! read more

Food was delicious service was great !!! Young lady at the front counter was very kind and attentive. Ambiance was very casual feel. This place makes the best burgers. Love how they cook them over mesquite wood grill. read more

I've eaten here 10-15 times over the years. Lately it's gone downhill. Management doesn't put enough staff taking orders at the front, and the staff that's there doesn't have much initiative. The last two visits they've gotten our orders wrong. Tonight they didn't even cook the shrimp on my wife's shrimp tacos and totally left off one of the components to my meal. They finally cooked my wife's shrimp, but still forgot my component. The only bright part of our visit was the young waiter/busser that brought out the food. He was working very hard and had a great attitude. Sadly, this has been the trend for Skeeters over the last year or so. read more

I love Skeeters. I think the food is fresh and delicious. Everything I've had there has been really flavorful. I think it's fast and easy to get your food. You order at the front and they bring it to your table. The atmosphere is casual which I like. I'll continue to come here often. read more

Within the last 3 years of working near Skeeter's I've watched the quality and amount of food Skeeter's puts out go from decent to mid at best. The reason I decided to FINALLY write a review is because I just spent $8 dollars on cheese fries...to get a container barely filled with fries. This isn't the first time I've noticed and complained to them that they've decreased the amount of food the give, yet their prices continue to go up. The salads use to be filled to the top of a nice sized round bowl. They've switch the containers multiple times and offer way less every time. It is disappointing being that, as employees working nearby, we're limited where we can grab a quick (good bite to eat. read more

Skeeter's Mesquite Grill - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kingwood, Texas

It has been several years since I've been to Skeeter's Mesquite Grill in Kingwood Texas. A lot has changed since this was pre-pandemic. One thing that hasn't changed is the wonderful smell of grilled meat as you approach the front door. They smoke and grill all of their food. The menu is much the same: fajitas, burgers, fries, onion rings and such. They also have maintained two fully functioning margarita machines. However it seems like they've gone through a facelift. It seemed like they have grown up. At one time, this place was kid team central. I'm was a favorite hang out for elementary age kids to celebrate after a game - complete with crayon drawings on the walls and various little gaming machines . It was friendly but dark and somewhat had a McDonald's type feeling. Now the crayon scribblings are gone from the wall. Also I didn't see the gaming machines. Most importantly, the ceiling, the walls and everything seem to be considerably brighter. Reasonably priced and the television sets are still strategically placed around the open concept building. I highly recommend this place for families, kids, or even adults on a date. read more

After the morning's yard work, I really wanted a hamburger but not the usual nor fast food. Glad to find this local grill. The area seems nice, the people seem nice. The Skeeter burger was perfect! So good The tables are covered with butcher paper. It has good family vibes. I look forward to coming back - want to try the NM Chili Burger. But this is one of their Burger Fridays coming up this month. read more

I ordered the chicken and gravy plate thru Uber. It was not very appetizing. To begin with there was no gravy at all. I ordered onion rings also. They had a good flavor however the onions were hard and not eatable. I am very disappointed at what I spent my money on. Not ordering from Skeeters again. I don't know why the gravy missing. It all tasted like leftovers read more

Great burgers grilled to the requested amount. Good chips and quest too! Salads are fresh

I love their shrimp tacos! Delicious!! Fast service and friendly people Large dining room and very clean. I love going there. read more

The food is good and probably deserves another star. I can't give one though because the a/c is always too cold and the staff say that management won't let them change it read more

This is my go-to place for good food and drinks! I'm so glad they are in the neighborhood. Love being able to easily place an order and pick up drinks (alcohol) and food curbside. My favorites are Katie's t-sip dip, Skeeters bowl with chicken, and the FROSE! Best in Houston! The staff is super friendly - Michael, Ignacio, Valera (at Betsy's). We are big fans of all the Adair family concept restaurants. read more

Skeeter's Mesquite Grill - Skeeters Bowl, nachos with beef and fries - Tex-Mex Near Me - Kingwood, Texas

terrible service - so bad we left. we had no one come to our table and when I went to the front all I got were stairs and absolutely no one acknowledged my existence. I was there with my dad who is 90 and has lived in Kingwood over 51 years. he has never seen such poor service and treatment. read more

The Sunday breakfast buffet was delicious. Food was hot and the made to order omelets were the best!

First and last time going here. Really disappointed with the food. Went with my wife and two sons. We ordered burgers, chicken tenders and a salad. The food is so mediocre, not one of us finished our meal. read more

We went here for lunch on a Sunday. It looked like we just missed their rush because there were dirty table everywhere. We actually cleaned our own table off to sit. There were not any silverware for us to use either. My husband and I shared a spoon and knife with our fajitas and salmon. We asked the server but she never brought any. Our entrees came out before our queso dip and it was cold. The beef fajitas had excellent flavor and were a very generous portion, however. It was a nice relaxed place. I may come back for drinks and and appetizer but not much more than that. read more

Love the remodel!! Looks really great, brings in lots of natural light. But best of all, the same great food....wood smoked grilled meats rule! Always a plus over a griddle and they are still open for breakfast. read more

A/C not working in 101 degree weather!!! We were not told until after we ordered and went to sit down realizing it was burning hot in there. The staff said it been off for 2 weeks. We left - shame on the owners for putting employees and customers in that situation with the extreme temperatures in Houston. There are so many warnings about being in the heat and even opened shelters in the city for those without a/c. read more

Sunday breakfast is amazing! Highly recommend the HUEVOS RANCHEROS! Pancakes were huge. The omelette was extra cheesy. We will be back!

Was so excited to see Breakfast buffet back - huge disappointment today. Food cold - and mediocre at best - and only because their salsa is the bomb! - 15.95 plus a drink made our total 41.00 for breakfast- I'll stick with DiMaria for a breakfast taco and 3 mimosas for 16.00 Two stars instead of 1 because salsa was as good as always and I got a hot fresh tortilla after asking for it. read more

Love, love, love their salads! Also awesome hamburgers that my kids get I always sneak a bite and wish I could still eat. Like that but everything I've ever had here was good. Salads are my fave though. read more

Rather than go to one of the many new restaurants serving burgers in KW thought I'd go to tried & proven Skeeters. News Flash! Burgers are 1/4 smaller & way less fries. Burger over cooked! I understand costs have risen, but fior the price very disappointed! No more Skeeter's for me! read more

This place never disappoints when it comes to a good burger. A Kingwood institution with a long history of serving great food. The staff was friendly and quick to get our order in. The food arrived as ordered, hot, and delicious. Looking for a good burger pass by the fast food places and "treat yo self"! read more

I didn't even realize this place existed, but my husband had been in to collect a few orders for food delivery and suggested we check it out. For whatever reason I decided to have a salad and OMG the Chicken Pecan Salad was sooo good. Smoky chunks of chicken breast, sweet hints of crunchy pecan, spicy red onion, cool creamy ranch. They hit all the notes on that one. My husband ordered the pork chop and I was expecting, you know, a pork chop. But they brought out this thick, gorgeously grilled hunk of meat, perfectly cooked, and smelling amazing. The dining area is a little ascetic and industrial for a date night but with food like that just gimme a fork and let's go. read more

I love mesquite grilled food ...and I have eaten at Skeeter's all over Houston for decades ...and I know we are in strange times right now with restaurants ...but the manager needs to take that whole drink machine out and start over! none of those drinks tasted right ...and that whole area needs a power wash !!!the burger was OK ,The fries were not crispy and not hot and delicious, but again, we are in the middle of some weird times in restaurants. read more
