    Outdoor Seating
    Haley M.

    Some of the best food I've ever had. Can never snap pics because I eat it too quickly. Lunch specials are always to die for. Soups are out of this world. Burgers are the best I've ever had, the sourdough/white buns are heavenly. My entire family loves it here even my very picky father. I come every Friday for the lunch specials, not sure if they change them seasonally/monthly but the hot honey chicken sandwich, chicken pot pie, and chicken poblano soup are just to die for. Onion rings are tasty. Service is always super friendly. Reasonable wait time for food, none to be seated. Love the decor in the place and the outdoor seating!

    Was expecting a bit more based on the reviews. Ordered the chicken salad but it didn't have much flavor. Had to add a good amount of salt and pepper. Staff was friendly and kind. Restaurant itself was clean as well.

    This place has so many things to brag about! First of all, during the day time they have a lunch menu with awesome burgers & sandwiches. It's like a deli where you place your order at the register and then get your own drinks. In the evenings for dinner it's a totally different atmosphere. It's a cozy & romantic sit down restaurant with amazing food! Their sautéed chicken with artichoke is mouth watering. It usually comes with garlic spinach but I always substitute with the garlic green beans and they are so delicious. The bar has some wonderful drinks and you'll wanna try them all. Decor is very nice and the servers are friendly. Great venue for special events like rehearsal dinners, showers or even corporate events.

    A quiet, roomy, breakfast and lunch Cafe by day with dinner and a full bar by night. My, first time, Saturday afternoon visit consisted of lunch, however, according to their menu they serve dinner after 5:00 pm along with a full bar. The breakfast/lunch menu consists of bacon and eggs, burgers, salads, soups and wraps. Since I was in the mood for something light and I love vegetables, I decided to try an eggplant vegetable sandwich called The Great Outdoors with pesto and goat cheese on grilled ciabatta bread which came with an option of a side of potato salad or fruit, I chose the potato salad. The sandwich was very good, as well as the potato salad, and I'm picky when it comes to potato salad. My only complaint was the portion size was so small. It was served in a little plastic cup with the top. This is a great place to visit if you're looking for a light meal. The service was prompt and friendly from the moment I walked in, to order at the cash register, to the moment they delivered my food to the table. If you're ever visiting Lake Jackson Texas "The Local" is a place I would recommend. Oh, and the desserts showcase...OMG!!

    Fabulous service! And delicious food as well. Bryce was our server and he was fantastic! Not only was he super friendly and fun to converse with, but he was also extremely knowledgeable about the menu! He recommended the Spinach Artichoke dip to start and it was absolutely phenomenal! We finished our meal by sharing the strawberry cake... It was the bomb.com. Thanks for taking great care of us - we will definitely be back soon!

    This place is pretty good. Atmosphere is very nice, lots of seating. The only complaint I have is the small portion of fries for $2.95. It might have been a handful of fries. The Ultimate Club Sandwich was plenty big though. Probably didn't even need the fries. They have a large menu selection so you'll find something for most anyone in your family or group. A bit on the pricey side but it's good food.

    First time in and glad we came. Very busy line out the door and people waiting inside. We almost…read morechanged our minds. I needed coffee quickly so we sat at the bar waiting for our table. We had a good time with our server John that tended the bar around 9:30am that we decided to stay at the bar. Though a few hiccups with our food. Not a big deal considering how busy it was. We loved the ambiance we loved the team work. As busy as the staff was they never showed frustration! Food was delicious. We Recommend this restaurant and will DEFINITELY be back. Thank you John for a wonderful morning!!

    I've been to Asiel's twice this month…read more The first time, I went with my husband. We got there on a Sunday around 11:30am, and it was packed. We had to wait about five minutes for a table. Our server was very nice. He came to our table not long after we sat down and took our drink order and brought our drinks out quickly. Then he took our food order. My husband had a party melt and I had the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes. I also ordered two scrambled eggs. We did not have to wait too long for the food. A young male server brought us our food, and I told him I was missing my eggs. He said he'd check on that and never returned. By the time our server came, I was done eating so I said no to the eggs even though he said he would go get them. He also apologized profusely, and he seemed genuine. The food was good. It wasn't the best I have had, but it was decent. The prices were decent as well. The second time I went to Asiel's, I went with my 10 year old daughter on a Friday around 11:45am. It was't at all busy. There were maybe like three tables with two people each. My daughter and I waited almost five minutes for someone to come seat us, but no one ever came or even acknowledged us. I won't go back to Asiel's after this last time. First forgetting my food and not bringing it to me after I let them know I didn't receive it and second because we were not acknowledged at all even after waiting close to five minutes to be sat.
