The food is good, the ambiance in general could use some attention. It's almost like the restaurant itself doesn't belong on the property. Hopefully they can get the help they need. read more

The food was good but could've been seasoned more. The vibe of the place was good but the property needs maintenance. The servers were speedy and kind! read more

Good food. Drinks OK. THE BAR IS FULLY STOCKED. The view is terrific. Their stairs are difficult for impaired folks. Come prepared.

Great waiter and bar tender!! He put up with the 11 of us on a Thursday night, after a lot of drinks.

Food was great! Burgers are huge and tasty! Kitchen staff does amazing! Appearance wise, it really needs an upgrade or upkeep. Tables outside were full of cobwebs. Only one young man working but he was amazing!!! When we drove in, the place look's abandoned. Literally gave 4 stars for the staff! read more

Food was surprisingly really good, service was good, had the Olympics playing which is cool.

I made reservations for 7 people for a Sunday at 11:45. When we got there, there was no handicap accessibility which I had requested in my reservation. We had to walk through the neighboring apartments, through a locked gate and through the pool area to reach the restaurant. Not very conducive for a senior using a walker. Upon getting in the restaurant, we were greeted by several staff. They were friendly but not prepared for my reservation. (There were 2 other patrons at a table on the deck. The restaurant was empty and no need for reservations!) We were seated in a back room. The restaurant was FILTHY!! Tables not wiped down, windows with smeared food and fingerprints. All the glass on the doors were full of dirty handprints. It was obvious no cleaning was done before closing the night before or before opening that morning. Had it not been for a 40 minute drive and a frail senior with me, I would have walked out! There were 3 other staff sitting at the bar the whole time we were there that should have been spending their time scrubbing tables and washing windows. The food was ok, our server was good, however stood over my shoulder, waiting, when I said I would be paying the tip in cash and not on my credit card. Disappointing experience! read more

My husband got the chicken parm sub and I got the mac and cheese and both were soooo good!!! way above what you would expect for bar food. Service was great too, got refills before we were even finished with our drinks. read more

It would probably be better if there was some fire places outside because me and my family where freezing. The service was nice we had to ask to move inside. read more

The lake views and serves very good , especially in sunset , but the food quantity alway very small !! Especially in main course . Very dissatisfied. read more

I thought I'd post an update regarding my most recent visit. We stopped by for lunch and some drinks. They've added some new tables outside, and have made some improvements to the facility. The restrooms were clean. The servers were attentive and it was fairly busy. Just had bottles and cans of beer but they have a decent selection. We had crawfish and it was very good. They include potato, corn, and sausage without an up-charge although it's just one of each. They're making progress and I'm happy we came back. read more

My family and I dined in last night on the patio for the first time and will not be back. We had a decent service however the queso was horrible and tasted like chemicals, the shrimp tacos had no flavor and had maybe 7-8 total in three tacos, the ketchup had a film on top and chicken was way over cooker for the kids strips. This place needs a lot of TLC and really sad because it's a great spot on the lake. Sucks we wasted a nice Saturday night at this spot and wasted hard earned money. read more

VEGETARIAN REVIEW This is a cute little place on Lake Conroe. The margaritas were good and so was the service. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. She made sure that we always had a drink. We also ordered the chips, queso and guacamole. The queso was "meh," but not bad. The guacamole was good, and I would order it again. They had multiple vegetarian options including mozzarella marinara, crispy brussel sprouts, vegetable quesadillas, pasta primavera, and various side dishes. I was surprised that they didn't offer a veggie burger, but they did have plenty of other options. If I return, I would order the margarita again for sure, and would probably try the veggie quesadillas. One last note. The music was terrible, and I was left with song "Girls is Players Too" stuck in my head for days. read more

After my friends + I have been coming here for a year, I've felt obligated to leave a review: If you can navigate the exposed nails + loose boards on the deck, there's a beautiful view of Lake Conroe at the end of your journey. Are you looking to scratch the hull of your boat? If so, dock at The Wave as the exposed nails (yes, they're dock side too) will leave a warm reminder of your time at The Wave. If you love whiskey and mixing it occasionally with Coke ICEE. Don't knock it til you try it -- oh wait, you can't try it. Sadly, Management has told us multiple times it's too expensive to fix the ICEE machine. This has gone on for months, a fun game we play with them. We're currently pooling loose change + dollars we find around our houses to buy one off Amazon or FB marketplace and donating it to The Wave. I hope my review helps. I encourage you to visit and see for yourself. One more thing -- take a friend's car or bring your AAA card. The parking lot looks like an earthquake wrecked it. Truly a wave of an experience. Cheers! read more

Great place and atmosphere, very pleasant and attentive staff, beautiful views and very relaxing and secluded area. ~ Ben was awesome and super helpful with menu and food recommendations. For sure we will return! We came back with family and the kids love the food as well, Jordan was amazing and very attentive. read more

Staying in the neighborhood & stopped in here for a few happy hour appetizers & drinks. The happy hour menu they were advertising everywhere included: - Chips & Queso - Chips & Guac - Boudin Eggrolls - Buffalo Sliders - Meatball Sliders - Margaritas (house & flavored) - Well Drinks - Draft Beers (domestic & import) They had no draft beers, no tequila for house margaritas, no frozen margaritas, and no well liquors. So happy hour started out not-so-happy. We ordered 3 happy hour apps & 1lb of crawfish. Waitress forgot to put our crawfish order in, then once she did, it took so long we ended up canceling (had kids with us & needed to head back to our condo). The kicker was getting our bill & being charged full price for 2 of the apps. Then we had to wait around for a manager to approve the happy hour price, which took a while because he was apparently unloading a delivery truck out back (hopefully with some alcohol!). This place has so much potential & an incredible location on the water, but right now it's pretty much rundown, frozen food, and a green pool outside. Hopefully someone can give this place a cash infusion to update it & it would be amazing! read more

Dang!!!!!!! Burgers are amazing!! Waitresses are hard working peeps earning every cent of their paycheck. Drinks are amazing, We WILL BE BACK( say in arnold's voice )!!!!!!!! read more

The food is so horrible and the prices are so high. Club sandwich could not have been made at local homeless shelter and been worse. Loaded nachos look like pig slop. Couldn't even make spaghetti. I can't post this without giving them one star and they 3 back HORRIBLE read more

Welcoming, fun atmosphere with good food. Great local, relaxing place to unwind at the lake.

Great food, service, staff, and location! I love the atmosphere and vibe as well. I've been here multiple times and they have been consistent with the quality and service. read more

We love this place! So close and food is great! During crawfish season, it's some of the best we have had. Offseason, the other food options are great too. Everything from the burgers, pastas and mac and cheese. Owners and staff are very friendly. They even deliver when we are too lazy to drive a mile. :) read more

I have to admit - I've never been a huge fan of dining in here as the service was always lackluster in recent years, despite the amazing views and atmosphere... but after ordering some crawfish to go I'm tempted to try dining in again. Ordered 4 pounds for take out around lunch time. Price as of today (2/21/24) was $10.99/lb which included 2 good sized potatoes, 2 corns and 2 slices of sausage. The flavor profile was classic spicy Cajun (I was sweating), very easy to peel (nicely soaked but not at all mushy) & decent size considering time of season. The waiter who took my order even threw me some extra butter/seasoning, which I hardly used because the flavor was already spot on. Willis & Conroe folks - don't sleep on the crawfish here! Prices should also drop soon but not bad at all for $10.99/lb. I will be back! read more

Wave On Lake Conroe - 4lb of spicy crawfish to go! Two pans included two large potatoes, two corn and two decent sized pieces of sausage. Delicious. - Bars Near Me - Willis, Texas

Nice view and ambience. Plenty of food per serving. To go order was fast and friendly

We stayed at Seven Coves Resort and were able to walk to the Wave. Although it was cold and windy,we had a lake view table which was perfect for watching an amazing sunset. The beer was good and cold and affordable. I ate the fried catfish and fries plus a salad. This place was fun in the cold. I can only imagine what its like in the spring through fall m read more

Avocado burger had amazing taste! So did the spaghetti and chicken parm! Awesome atmosphere, great food! our waitress was also super friendly and amazing, she was the only waitress bc someone called in, but she was working her behind to make sure we had everything we needed! read more

"Meh" Food was ok. Staff was amazingly friendly, but entirely inefficient. We waited about 30 minutes for our drink order. Food came out quickly and was tasty, but simply okay. Took another 40 minutes to get our check, which came out with things we did not order on it, which took even more time to fix. read more

As soon as we walked up the server told us there is a 45 minute wait to get our food, and there is only one cook. We decided to wait it out. I'm so glad we did. The scenery is beautiful and the food and service was amazing! It's family friend. It's literally in front of the lake (we took a few steps down, and looked at the water - you can dock your boat and have a bite.) It's family friendly, and even perfect for a night out with friends. I would highly recommend Wave on Lake Conroe. I know they are understaffed, but the food is really that good! We will be bringing our family there soon, and possibly hosting a rehearsal dinner there, as my brother is getting married down the street. Check the pics for some of what we ordered. read more

The wave is a unique step up in restaurant quality here on Lake Conroe with three separate establishments inside one building, all run by one owner there's a local pub/sports bar, there's a wonderful high and whiskey bar and there's a event venue. The food is excellent, the service staff is well trained and the food is amazing. Now, when you add all that to one of the best sunset views anywhere you've got a you need to visit. My favorite at the WAVE is the whiskey bar. Be sure to speak Bogart, the most amazing mixologist we've run into in a long time. I recommend you try the old fashion it's the best anywhere in Texas. read more

We went on a weeknight- happy hour. Mixed review. What I liked: Friendly staff, love the pool area, reasonable prices, mediocre food, family friendly (sort of) excellent view of sunset. What I didn't like: No masks or COVID protocol, mediocre food, no happy hour specials, no handrail on stairs to enter pool, lousy hip-hop music which was not only inappropriate for the type of clients they serve, but was full of vulgar language (not family friendly). how about some Jimmy Buffet, raggae, or even some variety, should be more pool friendly. and finally, they need a better check presentation method. I was given the check and a pen. It's wet and windy around the pool- can you get those black check holder things? Returned on Saturday afternoon. Much better! Servers excellent as always. Food was good. They had DJ Anarchy who is really good too. Music variety is good. Having fun! read more

They only get an extra star for the service. The food is overpriced, and poorly prepared. The quesadillas were plain Jane, the chicken Alfredo was bland, and didn't come with anything else (not even bread), the catfish and shrimp were overcooked, and soaked in old grease. The avocado bacon burger was good, but they were out of avocado. The floors were extremely sticky. The outside area is rundown, with piers that have broken and missing boards. It has a nice view, of the lake, as long as you don't look at the place. read more

After reading the reviews I was a little worried but this place was AWESOME! Liz was AMAZING and took such good care of us. Brought us an umbrella(the sun was vengeful), she carried a heavy ass sand bag across the restaurant so it didn't fly away, she checked on us often while running around taking care of many other tables! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME time here. Thankful for a perfect experience. Spicy Margs we're lit as well. read more

Venue very rough, needs remolding, tearing down, food as the building lots of help, looks as local support keeps it alive.

Fun place to enjoy drinks and the water. Decent food and good menu variety. Looks like they have live music pretty often.

To me, if you're going to hold yourself out as a choice of restaruants on Lake Conroe, you're going to have to change some things. First of all the food is good, a little pricey for the portion, but still good. Staff and service also good. But folks have to know, this is the club/house restaruant of a group of condos and a neighborhood, next to the community pool. Not really a standalone eatery. But there is hope. Yall have a lot of people workin there and a great view - right on the water - looking west. But, the windows haven't been cleaned since the 80's. Can't yall see that? Dirty. And that's not cool for a restaruant. The inside is older and uses outdoor tables but its ok. Lastly, you advertise a happy hour, but the beer and wine we bought were excluded. With a little bit of work you could be a contender. Just pay attention read more

Well we went in February. Beautiful weather. Food was good. This place seriously needs to be updated by Bar Rescue. We sat outside at a table with duct tape on it. Moved to another table. Out of draft beer & other beers on the menu. Poor wine list. Ordered crawfish which was good, but in a plastic bag. Ben was a nice waiter. Stayed in a condo next to restaurant ordered food to be delivered & they were out of crawfish. Don't advertise if you don't have it. I mean the place had no customers. A fresh coat of paint and bright colors are needed to give this sad looking restaurant a lift that is in an excellent location. Hope next time it will be better and nicer looking read more

Great place to swim and eat! Nice afternoon spot on the lake! Lots of fun if you go as a group!

I'm so torn on what to write! The food was DELISH but it was a bad experience from the beginning. The boudin egg rolls and the mac and cheese were bomb! Our boat was getting trashed by waves and banged into the dock. Once we got it secured we exited the boat to a dock in TERRIBLE condition with lifted boards and exposed nails. MAJOR safety hazards. My friend tripped over a board. The pool was nasty. I hope y'all can get the dock and pool fixed up so we can come and continue to enjoy the awesome food!! On days the lake isn't calm I guess we'll just have to order it for delivery on the dock! Ha. read more
