    Solid food and good service is available to hungry travelers here. I recommend the chips and queso, which can also be ordered as chips and salsa. Chips were crispy and fresh and the queso was standard. I particularly liked pthe fries because they were waffle fries and seasoned. Served hot and fresh with ketchup, these totally hit the spot.

    Stop by for breakfast before my flight in the AM. It was 9 am so was seated without any wait. Server was nice, although service was a bit slow especially considering it's in an airport. My food was okay, nothing special. Sort of generic bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast taco on corn tortilla. Potatoes were very obviously frozen tator tots.

    Pretty good spot for breakfast. The food was warm, tasty, and portions were just right. Service was quick and friendly too. Nothing fancy, but it definitely hit the spot for a simple, solid breakfast.

    Nice spot to get a quality meal quickly - service was great and they had plenty of power plugs by the booths. We both got the chorizo, egg & cheese tacos. The included breakfast potato's were great - the tacos themselves were good, I wish they would have had a little more chorizo, and the corn tortillas were a little dense, but overall it was good for an airport meal. They also did a good job making it cute for being in an airport hallway.

    Based on this being an airport spot (haha, Spot) i thoroughly enjoyed wasting time here . DAsia was a doll! She was attentive and always ready to offer service. I ordered wings which were delicious. It's a relaxed spot and has a quick service option. I was here on a Wednesday afternoon and it wasn't too busy, but I was able to observe a couple other bartenders and DAsia was hands down the friendliest and most efficient. If I'm ever in the area again and have time for a drink or snack I would definitely come here again

    The upgrade of $1.50 to get 4 lousy Onion Rings.

    Nice people behind the bar, service time was good, my Chicken Sandwich was a good size and delicious. I upgraded to Onion Rings and got 4! They have a sample platter with 4 different small bites. One of them is Shrimp and I am allergic. I asked if we could swap it out with more of one of the others. The answer was no. No flexibility, even for those with food allergies. Next time Ill go somewhere else when at Hobby Airport.

    I had a layover at Houston Hobby airport this morning and went on Yelp to locate a good place for breakfast. The best reviews were for "The Spot" at the beginning of the International terminal. The service was excellent and the food was very good. I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes. They were huge. They were a tiny bit on the dryer side but still really good. I asked for extra butter and syrup which they were happy to oblige. I'm really glad that I have found another good airport restaurant. So many are sorely disappointing. Even though the prices are a little more than I would expect OUTSIDE of an airport, the pricing was very fair for being IN an airport since prices for everything at airports is high.

    I was eager to try one of the new restaurants in Hobby. The spot is in the international terminal so it's nice theme for that side of the airport. It is very colorful and welcoming. I came around 8:30 pm and it was pretty empty. Service was just okay, my server was preparing for close so she didn't feel very present. The food was pretty good but airport expensive as expected. I ordered the queso and it came out a bit cool so it wasn't very dippy. The honey hot chicken was delish but half the bun was dry. I decided to ditch the bread since it didn't seem worth it. I really enjoyed relaxing in this space, the abundance of outlets was very appreciated!

    My husband connected at Hobby a few days before me and our daughter and after stopping here for a burger, he told us how good they are. A few days later our daughter and I stopped in and even though I was tempted by the Cobb salad or fish tacos, I got a specialty burger and she did too. They were excellent! You can get a basic one or a specialty one. (Hers had bacon and fried onions and mine had bacon jam and fried jalapeños!) Delicious. They're served with waffle fries. Only minus one star for high airport pricing.

    I was disappointed that the Pappas restaurants were removed from hobby airport. Until I found out that The Spot was going to be one of the replacements. I've loved the spot in Galveston. Now I get it anytime I'm in the international terminal! And the service is so much better than pappasitos was. The bartender at the spot is super friendly. Everything on the seafood platter was perfect. And my husband's burger was what he's come to expect from the spot. So happy to have this place conveniently in the airport.

    Drink prices were amazing for the airport. I got a rum flight for $18, super good. Glass of wine was only $11. Hubs and I shared the sweet and spicy burger with onion rings which was excellent. Kayla was a phenomenal server. She made recommendations and was there with perfect timing. My water was always filled.

    If you offer a glass for $10 if you buy a certain drink don't say you can't buy it after you bought the drink just to get the glass.

    Not the same as Pappasitos. There's not that many customers and they don't allow food to be ordered that the bar.

The wings had no flavor at all and the coating/rub did not even stick to the actual wings. I'm so disappointed. This was my go-to halal wings place and now I have to find something else.

    We drove a good distance to come here--since we wanted wings and this was a top rated spot on Yelp…read more I was really surprised by all of the positive reviews after I finished eating here. We opted to eat here, since they do have a small counter with a couple chairs and it was a long drive back--we wanted to try the wings fresh. We ordered the spicy honey lemon pepper wings and the buffalo garlic boneless wings. Also an order of fries and some cheese sticks. Sadly, they weren't offering waffle fries, because I was really looking forward to trying those. Out of all of the food, I probably liked the cheese sticks the best, but nothing was impressive to any degree. We had both ranch and bleu cheese, and it was hard to taste a difference between the two. They didn't put lids on some of the dipping sauces, so from the walk with our bag from the kitchen to the counter where we ate, white sauce spilled all over the bag and made a gigantic mess. The spicy honey lemon pepper tasted like mostly honey, but the wings themselves were cooked fine. The boneless wings were tough and the garlic flavor was just overall underwhelming. The fries were about as boring as it gets--I'd guess that they're frozen. The cheese sticks that I mentioned--I've actually had better at Jack in the Box. The guy who took our order was nice and easygoing, but he was constantly talking on the phone outside when not taking orders. To the extent that others who came in to order after us were taken aback and unsure if they needed to wait for him to finish his call. I really wanted to find a local business with great wings to support, but this was not it for me--I wouldn't come back.

Wings can either be tender or tough, it depends on how quick you can pick them up whenever they're ready. I also did the fried oreos here one time; now those are must order! Fried goodness with a hint of powdered sugar, it melts in your mouth and a great item after you've been salted by the wings and fries. Since it's easy to order, I'll probably order here again and try some other flavors out. Heard the tenders are also tasty so that could be next.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and.

The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values its customers.
