Pretty good! For some reason, despite visiting City Centre over 100 times over the past decade, I…read morehaven't dined in at Yard House until now. I decided to meet up a friend for happy hour and overall, I was pretty satisfied and would come back. Without the happy hour prices, Yard House can be a bit pricey for what you get, but Happy Hour really is a steal. I tried the fried calamari - portions are huge! Flavors are average - definitely not disappointing. The poke nachos were pleasantly surprisingly in terms of portions and flavor. The amount of fish was more than I expected. Lastly, I was a bit disappointed that they don't have bone-in wings on the happy hour menu, so I opted for boneless wings which was basically like nuggets. I got a Korean flavor and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is nice. Restaurant is very spacious. Service was quite impressive. It's easy to order and pay. Downside? It's City Centre. The parking sucks unless you're willing to pay. If you come for happy hour, you'll spend a bit of time and patience looking for a spot.

This is one of those spots that just makes a great low key neighborhood bar. The parking out front…read moreis small, but you can usually find a spot around if it's full. They have plenty of tables inside and seating at the bar. The patio area has a nice covered area with some TVs, typically with a local sports game on. Typically at least a couple of families are around, either playing a game or just enjoying the patio with a cold pint. Food & Drink - 4.75* Great local craft beer selection! Definitely give the wall a close look as there's probably something you haven't tried unless you frequent the place already. For food, they have plenty to choose from. Starter and shareables such as chips & queso, pretzels, flautas, or spinach & artichoke dip. For mains you can grab a salad or a guilty pleasure like burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches. I've had plenty of the items and have never been disappointed. I definitely recommend the onion rings if you go with a sandwich meal. That's not to say the tots or fries are bad, it's just their onion rings are really on point. On Thursday they do ribeye night, so give it a go if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. Service - 4* I've found generally speaking the service is pretty good when ordering at the bar. They can get a little busy at times and slow, but never egregious. Everyone is quite friendly when you ask questions and looking for some recommendations. Cost - 4.25* Always subjective, for me, I find their pricing pretty good for an above average pint and burger. If I were to knock it a little, I think some of the larger brewers "easy drinking" lighter beers could carry a slightly less cost, or maybe run more "specials" to sell at volume with thinner margin. Just a suggestion. Overall, I've never been turned off by any of the pricing. It's definitely refreshing to support local brewers and a local bar more than going to some of the more corporate establishments that sit nearby. Overall - 4.5* Whether you live nearby or need a good meetup location for family and friends around the city, this is a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a laid back family atmosphere.

Lazy Oaks is a solid beer garden in the Spring Branch neighborhood that has a little bit of…read moresomething for everyone. They have plenty of indoor seating between booths, bar stools, and high tables. If the weather isn't too oppressively hot, they have a great outdoor area as well with covered picnic tables, and even a play space for kids. There's beer on tap ranging from the standard to the craft, and they offer a full bar if you're looking for something stronger. I haven't ordered food yet but everyone I know who's eaten here has said that it's above and beyond their expectations. If you're looking for a place in Spring Branch to enjoy a beer and have a casual chat with friends, Lazy Oaks will be right on target.

Mixed feelings about this place. My husband was really excited to bring me here, he had a beer that…read morehe had enjoyed on a previous visit with his friends. Unfortunately, they no longer had it, which was disappointing but understandable. What stood out more was the service. Each time my husband asked the bartender a question about other beers he could try like the one he had, the responses felt short and dismissive, and the answer was essentially "no" every time. My husband remained patient and friendly throughout, but I believe good service is a big part of what makes an experience enjoyable. That said, the place itself is cute, clean, and has a nice atmosphere. Overall, I'm glad we gave it a try, but I'm not sure I would return.

I called back again to make sure there wasn't a minimum or anything, and they confirmed my reservation. When I showed up on game day, I walked into the full bar that clearly had no tables and went up to a man with a Decoy shirt on who said they don't do reservations. I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

Thank you to Zoe for the great service. Full service bar however no food available although have food trucks some days. They can even make mocktails if want!

The day before the game we hit up twin peaks after we arrived and checked into our hotel. Although it was cool there, we were looking for more football fans with vibes so we decided to check out Kirby Ice House and was so happy we did! The following day after we left our World Cup game, we went back to twin peaks to grab wings to go and headed back to Kirby's for the next 5 hours for the remaining games! It's a HUGE sports bar with LOTS of TVs and seating areas/options. If you don't mind the heat, they have a huge outdoor patio with plenty of TVs. Me?? We avoided that until the sun went down lol. Inside they still have a lot of tables and TVs or you can opt for the bar and there's plenty of TVs there as well. I love that the vibe in here is super chill! Everyone was very nice. Kim the bartender was the best! They don't serve food but they have different food trucks each day (they have a schedule on their website) and they also allow you to bring outside food just not alcohol. Their cocktails are pretty good and they have a big variety of beers and specials.

There are a lot of tables to eat at. I believe you can bring food but cannot bring your own water bottles. Overall, cool spot to play pickleball & volleyball at.

I visited this place this past Sunday, 3/30. I went for the all you can eat crawfish by Phil's…read moreCrawfish. The price was $35 without sides and $40 with the sides included. I did without the sides. The crawfish was very good, flavorful, and they were decent sizes. I don't do spicy food and the crawfish wasn't too spicy. I definitely appreciated that. I usually don't care for Cajun flavor, but these were really good. The whole setup over there is really nice. Nice vibe and atmosphere. There is an area for sand volleyball and a place where kids can play. The process of getting the crawfish, they really have a good system. You get a band and a to go box. They have places where you can sit, buckets, paper towels, and extra seasonings if you would like to add more. They open up at 1pm. I suggest you get there early if you want a seat and he does run out before close time. However, I did get my money's worth. My only take away is that they should let you know not to throw your to go box away. You use the same box to get the crawfish. As a newcomer, I didn't know that and almost threw mine away. I was with my friend who told me that I am suppose to keep it. Overall, I had a great experience and I will be back. This is a great place for families or friends to meet and enjoy each other's time. Oh, there also is another vendor there who sales ice cream. I tried that and it was so good. Sorry, I can't remember the name.

Sides were ok, rice was incredibly well seasoned but the Mac and cheese was a bit underwhelming. I think the only thing would be the cost; quite pricey for barbecue.

Every table had paper towels, and while some of the tables were a little dirty, we were able to find a clean table to eat at.

I had been craving BBQ for a couple weeks and decided to give the pit room a try. My husband had…read morebeen here before for work and he enjoyed it so I decided to try! The environment is super cool, plenty of seating, a bar, private rooms, a dessert bar. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but the workers spoke Spanish to each other the whole time until it was time to check out, so there wasn't much engagement. Which lead to a mix up of my order that we had to fix. What we are all here for, the FOOD: Chicken: Very juicy, tender, basic chicken, a great portion. I was grossed out by the amount of blood under the skin. (I KNOW it's an animal with blood but I've never had bbq with that amount of blood on the meat) but I'm not penalizing them for it. Def 7/10! Brisket: Super tender, melted in the mouth, great taste. 8/10 Green beans: Not greasy, tender (not mushy or undercooked). I think they may have spilled the seasoning into the batch they main because holy moly, a TON of pepper and salt. I'm heavy handed with my seasonings but that amount didn't seem intentional. I'd never thought I'd say this but the flavor would've been great with less seasoning. 5/10 Mac&cheese: Nothing special but definitely better than most bbq spots. I enjoy the texture and light flavor 7/10 Elote: Yummy but where's the beloved cilantro?! 8/10 Cornbread: Great flavor, not dry, and had jalapeno peppers in it! Super yummy 9/10. My only thing too, they had only 2 bbq sauce options, a bourbon coffee and their house bbq. To me, they were not good at all. I was extremely disappointed in that. Other bbq spots have like 8 different bbq sauces
