Came into town to see Grand babies. From Vegas so was a little skeptical about the 3.7 on Yelp. This place flat out rocks. Every thing was fantastic. Kids meals came out fist and fast which blew me away as this never happens. We will be back most definitely. Don't sleep on this place. Great service, food.

If you're craving a a true country southern comfort meal, look no further. I can't believe we have lived in Katy for 5 years and just found this GEM. The chicken fried steak is MASSIVE ( 2 can definitely share), the steak was SO buttery soft and was packed with flavors, while the apple crisp (apple cobbler) was homemade, nice and warm! OMG, and the FRIED GREEN TOMATOES?? You have NO idea how happy I am to FINALLY find a place that makes good fried green tomatoes. This completely made my entire week!!! Inside has tons of seating while the outdoor area has seating, a playground as well as live music on Friday & Saturday nights. I can't wait for fall so we can return for the live music outdoors (was a bit hot for us still). The girl that took our order never returned and we never had the same waiter which made it a bit confusing when we needed something. Otherwise that we had a great experience and can't wait to come back. 100% recommend trying this place out in old Katy!

Philly Cheesesteak Wrap

Texas tradition is a must hit. The service is out of this world, they're super friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious. The Philly cheesesteak was enormous. My wife's salad was huge and fresh. And it has that down home country feel inside.

Burger, grilled onions, Cajun fries

I always see this place packed passing it on the road. I was craving a burger and I figured this place would have a good one since it's always packed. Parking lot was basically full, luckily to find one in the back. It was still fairly busy during a late lunch on a Sunday. A table opened up so we didn't wait. It was kind of stuffy in there, not a lot of air flow. Our waitress and service were great! On to the food: Burger was just ok. It wasn't bad...but it also was nothing to "wow" about. I still don't know why this place is always packed, maybe I ordered the wrong thing.

My fiancé and I recently moved out to Katy from downtown. We wanted to have a bit more peace and a slower pace of life. Boy, did we hit the jackpot finding this week 2 in Katy! We went with his parents as they were visiting, and were able to get a seat immediately on a Friday night! They had live music going and the gentleman singing was wonderful. The vibe of the place is exactly what we wanted, no frills, authentic. You go for the food, and this place DELIVERS. My fiancé and his father got the Chicken Fried Steak and absolutely loved it! We loved this place so much, we have been back twice since this first visit and we've only been in Katy a month. I have tried the quesadilla and the BLT and both were to die for. Every single time we eat here, we leave happy and full. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. Do not skip dessert because they have so many delicious options. 10/10 highly recommend

Small Chicken Fried Steak

I had the small chicken fried steak with cream gravy, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and green beans. The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender on inside with good flavor even in bites I took without the gravy. The mash potatoes were buttery and full of flavor with the brown gravy. I would say this is one of the better chicken fried steaks I have had in a long time.

The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and very friendly. The place accomodates large groups. The music is all country. Which is fine with me. Now for the food. My wife ordered the double pork chops. Her two sides were fried green tomatoes and fried okra. I tasted one okra and it was pretty good. She gnawed on the bones but left a little meat on them so I finished the rest. OMG! They were perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. Tender and juicy. I got the fried shrimp. My two sides were house salad and sweet potato fries. The shrimp were cooked just right and they were jumbo shrimp cooked down to extra large. What really impressed me was the breading. It was light. Not that extra thick breading that you have to bite through to find a salad shrimp underneath. Their tea is really good. All beer is $4. Except for Modelo. It's $5. I didn't take pictures of the menu, sorry. We will go back and try some other dishes. Next time, I will take pictures of the menu

Cheese burger
Suzanne J.

The food was excellent. My husband had the chicken fried steak, with green beans and hush puppies and Texas toast. He had brown gravy. I had the bacon chicken wrap. And fried okra . My daughter had the cheese burger and chili cheese fries . The service was great. The waitress so nice and on top of it!

Prime Rib Special

First time visiting and glad we found this place. We saw a Reel on social media. I had no idea It was there and I have lived in the NW Houston for 21 years. Great food and service.

Chicken Fried Steak

This just became our favorite restaurant in Katy. Incredible food. Great service. Great price. Musician was also really good! We will 100% be back.

We ordered our food to go so i can't speak much on the overall ambiance. It was well lit and looked clean from where we sat at the bar which was right by the entrance. Employees were nice and greeted and checked up on us every now and then for whenever we were ready to place our order. We ended up ordering 2 bacon cheeseburgers, quesadillas and the some French fries. And the guy that helped us (young guy, sorry that i can't remember his name!) Was nice enough to also offer some waters to go which I took advantage of. We had our burgers first at the hotel we were staying at, they were delicious! Cooked to perfection how we ordered I and very filling. These burgers weren't flat by any means. Quesadillas were also delicious and I'm glad the guy told us that it's big enough to share between 2 people, we ordered that to have as a late dinner. French fries were nice thick wedges and well seasoned. I don't make it out into Old Katy too often, but if ever do I'll keep this place in mind because i wouldn't mind going back for the same burgers again!

Fried green tomatoes, mushrooms, boudin balls. I made my own meal.

See all

What a great dining experience! This was my first time here. I was heading into heavy rush-hour…read moretraffic, so I decided to avoid it and stop to have a good meal before heading home. This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

As someone who frequents the Buzz and Bites in Spring Branch since it is right around the corner…read morefrom my house, I was excited when my job moved into a new office just one street over from the Katy location. I had been watching this one being built for a while and was especially curious to try it since this location has a full bar, which adds a really fun twist to the traditional coffee shop concept. I stopped in for lunch and decided to sit out on the patio which ended up being the perfect choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, bright, and inviting with a nice open feel that makes it easy to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in and everything moved quickly and smoothly. I ordered the guava mimosa and it was SO good. Light, refreshing, and honestly the perfect daytime drink. For food I had the chicken avocado wrap and substituted the chips for truffle fries and both were SOOOOO good. The wrap was fresh, warm, and packed with flavor and the truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade. I love that this location keeps the cozy Buzz and Bites feel while also leaning into a slightly more elevated vibe with the bar and patio seating. Between the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the great food and drinks, I can already tell this will become a regular lunch spot now that it is so close to our office.

I visited Buzz & Bites with a group of four, and the experience was pretty mixed. The wait to be…read moreseated wasn't too bad -- about 15 minutes -- and the place had a nice steady flow of people coming in and out without feeling overly packed. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. We sat for about 15-20 minutes before even getting water, and we had to ask for basic things like a fork and napkins (which we ended up grabbing ourselves). The biggest disappointment was the food timing: everyone at my table received their meals, and mine didn't come out until about 20 minutes later. By then, I didn't even want it anymore and just picked off someone else's plate. What I did try from my friend's dish was decent, but the overall experience definitely wasn't a highlight. There were a lot of staff members standing around, so it was confusing why everything took so long. Not somewhere I'd rush back to, but hopefully they improve the service and timing because the atmosphere had potential.

Food - amazing selection of meat. If you're a meat lover, you'll love this churrascaria restaurant. They have beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and shrimp. They have a salad bar also with all kinds of veggies and soup as well. 5. Cleanliness - Top notch cleanliness for tables, floors, and restrooms. SUMMARY I highly recommend this place.

He also came out after the mains were served to make sure everything was being enjoyed. We ordered a few sampler platters for appetizers, as well as oxtail, antelope and ostrich for the mains as we wanted to get a taste of everything. There was nothing that didn't taste amazing!

We have a senior furbaby who goes everywhere with us, and as she's aged, she can no longer be left home alone for long periods. Using the "Bring Fido" app, we searched for a pet‑friendly place to celebrate -- and to our surprise, our very own tradition, Perry's, was listed as pet friendly with an outdoor patio. It felt like everything aligned. Not only could we celebrate where we love, but we could do it without worry, with our little family complete. The ambiance was perfect, but our waitress, Max, made the experience unforgettable. From the moment she greeted us to the moment she shook our hands goodbye, she cared for us with genuine warmth. She treated our Bella as if she were her own -- bringing her a water bowl, a little plate of berries, and checking on her with the same attentiveness she gave us. Her smile never faded. When it was time to leave, Max surprised us with a to‑go bag and a hand‑drawn picture of Bella on it, wishing us a happy anniversary. That small gesture said everything about who she is as a person. We shared our experience with the GM, Arthur Seigmund, and let him know that now that we know Bella is welcome anytime, we won't be waiting for a once‑a‑year celebration anymore. Perry's has always been special to us -- but today, they made it feel like home.

The manager said he would "look into it" and update me, These glasses are valuable, and it's incredibly upsetting to be told they were there, only for them to suddenly disappear. I understand that mistakes can happen, but when a business confirms they have a lost item and promises to hold it, there should be accountability. I hope the restaurant takes this situation seriously and follows up appropriately. Until then, I'm left feeling frustrated and disappointed.
