I ordered salmon, and the glaze was so good! My husband and son got a ribeye and a filet mignon and both enjoyed it! My other son got chicken fried chicken and mother got fajitas they all loved the taste. I loved their salad bar and the variety that was offered. Their rolls are melt in your mouth good. The service was phenomenal, everything was done so efficient and in a timely manner. I loved the decor indoors, they had half the restaurant with an open wall ( did not affect cool indoor temp) and a playground! Very family friendly. Dessert was delicious read more

I enjoyed the southern casual environment and the food was good. I had the chicken fried steak per recommendation from my server, Kyrique. The service was very good, Kyrique checked on me periodically and made sure my order was correct. read more

I feel this establishment was really hyped up but disappointedly let us down. First, the wait was extremely long to get a table unless you went to the bar which is what we ended up doing. (We were there right before 7pm on a Tuesday, not sure what time their rush starts in the evening). It took a while for staff to even acknowledge and take our drink order. When we placed our drink order we went ahead and placed our food order as well. My husband ordered the All American burger which he said wasn't all that great. I ordered the fried shrimp basket. The shrimp tasted stale as if they had already cooked it, got cold and tossed it back in the fryer a few times. Fries however were really good. Think that was the only part of the meal we enjoyed. Place was vibing. Music was good. Although we didn't care for the food, we may consider coming back for the live band. read more

After hearing great things about Cactus Jack, visiting Baytown we wanted to give it a try. We arrived at 9:55 on Saturday 4/26, pulled in the building was full and there was also a live band!! We asked for a table sitting 2, the hostess behind the counter told us that it was 10pm and that the kitchen was closed. I was confused because I made to sure to look up the hours or operation before we arrived because I didn't want timing to be an issue, which from what I researched closing was at 11. I mentioned to the hostess that I thought closing was at 11. There was a second hostess that chimed in and told me no they closed at 10:30. Again confused, I said ok. The first hostess offered to check to see if we could still be serviced but after feeling completely taken back because none of it was making sense, we declined. The following morning, I called in to speak with a manager who was very understanding and informative, he explained to me the hours of operation etc. The hours that I originally thought (11pm) was correct! I explained to him the experience we encountered and how it was hurtful and disappointing. read more

I ate felt full of good enough stomach Cactus Jacks restaurant amazing cooking and excellent service that style country cool

Good food, great service and great vibes. We brought our bernedoodle and sat out in the patio. The heaters were on out in the patio but they were able to turn them off for us. There was a live singer on stage and really brought a nice vibe to the place. There was indoor and outdoor seating the place is quite large. My favorite was the salad bar- ayce! The Bloody Mary we ordered was a little too spicy for an empty stomach. But if it wasn't so far though we'd surely be back! read more

Great atmosphere and service. Our highlight of the evening was being served by Papi. He is very hardworking and makes your visit memorable. Will be coming back soon! read more

Nice atmosphere. The wife had the chicken fried steak and she enjoyed it. I had the chicken- sausage gumbo and salad bar.I do not recommend the gumbo. One of the worst gumbos I've had. The chicken was hard and tough. I don't believe it was cooked in the gumbo but rather Grilled and added when ordered. I would go back but will avoid the gumbo. The salad bar is good. read more

Great atmosphere and customer service! Food was AMAZING!! Colton was very sweet and attentive

First time at this location and it was a great experience. We were seated immediately upon arriving at 5:10pm on a Friday evening- 1 star! Seated at a tabletop in the middle of the room. It's a large area and plenty of conversation going on, but we didn't have any trouble hearing each other throughout the meal. We were greeted quickly and drink orders were delivered pretty darn fast for a Friday evening - 1 star. The menu had some surprises on it - food I hadn't expected to see. We started with the house queso and I got the Cowboy ribeye and it was great! We also got beef enchiladas and pecan pie for dessert. We were asked several times about drink refills - 1 star, and even had an offer for more chips with our queso. The staff were working together to get food and drink delivered efficiently. I always look for people standing around doing nothing and I was pleasantly surprised that everybody was helping out - well done! In all, it was a really good first impression. It is getting warmer in Texas and the humidity was pretty bad, but they did a decent job keeping the place cool with all the open doors and outdoor area letting the heat in. Large tv screens everywhere make this a great place to hang out and watch football in a few months! Alcohol prices are what we expected and they have a great variety with many locals included - 1 star. We'll be back. Often. The ambiance is pretty typical for this area and I like the open walkways and tall ceiling. Live music was a plus. read more

Has potential-- food was so-so for the price. A lot of staff standing around after lunch rush so it took a while to get everything back in order. Would prefer to see managers pitching in rather than one hustler and 3 people chatting. Our waitress was very good though and the food was okay. read more

Food was good. The crab boil was good. Kaylee was fantastic. Thanks for the wonderful service.

Papi and Hayden were our servers. They were great. Food is always good and service is always amazing!

We went back after our first debacle here soon after they opened. Talk about a turnaround, OMG!! This place now is amazing! The ambience is awesome! Beautiful surroundings, great stage setup. This place is a party waiting to happen! And the food is sooooooo good! I had the barbecue wings. Crunchy and delicious! You don't need anything to dip them in, but it comes with them. I also had a sirloin, cooked beautifully. So tender you could cut it with a fork! My only tiny complaint might be that it had a bit too much salt. And the salad bar to start is the bomb! My wife had the fried shrimp that were a nice size and cooked beautifully! We also tried the delicious spinach artichoke dip with chips. So,so good! Now the service. Just amazing! read more

Celeste was amazing! She was very tentative. She even interacted with my 9 month old overly active daughter with such ease! Service was fast and the food was delicious. read more

Cactus Jacks - Sports Bars Near Me - Baytown, Texas

Waited over and hour and half, Kept getting skipped. I asked the host what was going on was told just to keep waiting. Never coming back.

We went for lunch or so I thought. We had a very sweet young lady that waited on us. We ordered spinach dip as an appetizer and I ordered a brisket potato. My spouse ordered salad and sandwich. I had to ask to replace my silverware as the first and second one I received was dirty. I was told by waitstaff that the bbq was running behind so I patiently waited. My spouse received his food while I continued to wait. The first potato was cold. The butter would not melt. The second one they brought was also cold and had ingredients that I did not order. The third potato I ordered to go as my spouse had already finished eating. We spent 68.00 and change. I would have thought they would offer some type of discount for all the issues. They did not. I wasn't expecting a free meal. The waitress ask if we wanted a desert being there was no discount on the food. We declined considering what had already transpired. The manager Nate came by the table to let us know it was not the servers fault. He didn't want what happened to affect her tip I guess. I never blamed her and we left her a nice tip. Needless to say the first time we visited we had similar problems. We wanted to give them a second chance. I don't believe we will go back considering all the issues. If I am ordering a 25.00 potato I expect it to be hot and correct. It's a real shame. read more

We had one of the best waitress tonight her name was Kenzie P. The food was great also!

We placed a online food order. It took 45 minutes for our food to be delivered. Our washer was sitting at the restaurant for 30 minutes waiting on our order. When our food finally arrived it was cold and tbe cream gravy was already setting up in the container it came in. We called and talked to the manager. She didn't not offer an apology or anything. We will not ever be ordering from here. read more

First of hopefully many reviews. I always love to try new places, but kinks are inevitable. These are the things that are suggested for Cactus Jack's management: 1. The salad bar; get spoons & have a set person assigned to it to stock/clean it. Get some bread- either at the table or at least with the salad bar. 2. Gravy comes on mashed potatoes. It should always be an option, and not one that cost $2.50 more. 3. Make sure the cooks know the difference between steak temperatures. If steaks are one of the main items, they should have this down pat. 4. Get a lot less peppery on the gravy & chicken-fried steak. Let the other flavors shine though! 5. Kid's meals; they don't need to be the size of an adult meal, but shouldn't be the size of McDonalds either. Or people will just start going there for less $! 6. ALWAYS have waitstaff inform tables when gratuity is added. This is should be a given, but was not. We visited Cactus Jacks on Christmas Eve. Ambiance is great. I had expected it to be loud, and although there was music on (not live), we were able to have a conversation which was a nice surprise. We were seated quickly for a table of 8. Our server greeted us right away and took our drink order. We asked for recommendations and chicken-fried steak their steaks were both recommended. Both of these come with one side and the salad bar. I went to look at the salad bar. There was a good selection, but quite a few containers needed refilled. I ordered the sirloin & mashed potatoes. Others ordered the chicken-fried steak, salmon, kids pizza & chicken nuggets. It had been about 15 minutes since I first looked at the salad bar. Items were still not stocked, even with a steady line. Most of the items had tongs for serving. The line moved slowly because is was impossible to use to them for hardboiled egg pieces, grapes, etc. The area was very messy since half the stuff fell off the tongs before you got it to your plate. They had cheese like Taste of Texas, which is amazing. But, no rolls or bread. Cottage cheese would have also been nice. Salad bar rating was 6/10 due to difficulty getting the items, empty containers, messiness and no bread options. Our waitress was attentive at first, but we realized we had to flag her down for drink refills. There were also things on the menu that she said were unavailable. The food came out in a timely manner, but delivered by someone else so we had to ask for a couple sides/refills. My husband asked for extra gravy for his CFS. After tasting my mashed potatoes, and realizing they were plain mashed potatoes (good, but no garlic or other flavors to enhance it), I too requested a side of gravy. Those two sides took quite a bit of time to get. Unfortunately, my steak was almost gone and half our table was done by the time they were brought to us. Once again, there was no rolls to accompany any of the meals. My steak was ordered med-rare, but although it had good flavor, was definitely med-well. Rating for the sirloin was 6/10, once again room for improvement. The people who ordered the chicken fried steak were unimpressed. There was so much black pepper in both the breading and gravy, that it overpowered the taste of the CFS. Rating for it was 5/10. The salmon was decent, but a bit dry. The kids meals were both very small. The pizza was the size of a saucer, although good. The chicken nuggets were like McDonalds, only 4 of them were on the plate, with a handful of fries. Incredibly small for $7. When our waitress came to bring our check, she gave us each our total on the Toast app. I always like the fact that we can pay right there from the device, but dislike that there is no explanation of the bill. She gave me my total, and it was quite a bit more then I anticipated. When questioned, she insisted that it was corrected, once again without further explanation. I paid and asked her for a receipt. She brought back the receipt, which is when I realized that gratuity had already been added. Everyone of us had added this on as if there was no gratuity added. I also realized that we were charged almost $5 for our two sides of gravy, without ever being told there would be a charge for it. Gravy should be standard for mashed potatoes. And if I had known there was that much of a charge for it (almost the amount of a side), I would not have got it. All in all, I was leaving her an over 50% tip for mediocre service at best. She has already disappeared, so I requested to speak to a manager on our way out. Carl was very nice and apologized for us not being aware that gratuity was added. I did not bring up the gravy at that point. It was Christmas Eve and although I was wanted to be generous, I just couldn't leave a $35 tip for a $60 meal. The rest of our party (the additional gratuity was only $5 or less), didn't bring it up. He refunded me the portion that I asked and we went on our way. We will be back, but hope some of these things can be addressed! I will update my review! read more

We came in for dinner on a Wed. We are a family of 5 with 3 Littles. They sat us close to the stage close to a DJ and we could barely hear and it was hot. We had to ask for our waiter because he was also servicing a table of about 30. The food was okay. The salad bar has alot of options, but it was a gross hot mess that had not been cleaned up or refilled. After eating, we had to ask another waiter to get our check. She found a manager. The manager could not be bothered to ask about our experience. She printed the check, we paid, and she moved on with literally no conversation. It is a cool concept executed very poorly. read more

The food comes in good portions so bring your appetite. The hostesses are very nice and the rest of the staff are as well! The ambiance is very fun and very loud! It's great to bring the kiddos because they have a play area inside toward the back where you can enjoy your food and still have a good time read more

Cactus Jacks - A cold beverage. It wasn't delicious. It tasted stale and sour. - Sports Bars Near Me - Baytown, Texas

visited for a birthday dinner. was seeking a great steak,service and birthday song experience. I have never felt so discriminated in my life. We asked for the experience and witness how great they did at celebrating others. They brought my cake out with no candle no song. After my husband explained he requested the song experience, All we got was sorry and walked away. Waiter said we will bring a candle out for you. waited for 10 minutes, I stopped him and he said sorry my team wants me to handle other items first. spoke to a manager who said oh we are sorry and no bother to accommodate or change the experience. my daughters asking why we were treated different than others. read more

The service is always on point when your server is Steph! She always has the best recommendations. I think last time, my husband and I got the Tomahawk steak, and it was perfect for the two of us--with some leftovers to take home!

Worst service i have received. Cactus Jacks main attraction for parents is the playground so before heading out called and asked how the playground area was looking. The hostess said " we aren't busy at all". Once we arrived to location hostess said area was reserved and we won't be able to get a table around the area either. BUT said the area wasn't busy at all over the phone. Very disappointed. read more
