    Chicken fried steak - extra large portion
    Albert T.

    Went here for the first time, after passing it on the road so many times...what a hidden gem! The place is huge! Parking lot is big, as well. Walking inside can be a little bit of a maze but once you get to the line you order your food first and pick one of the many tables. You can sit inside, outside, or covered patio area near the kids section with the huge sand pit and some small rides ($). The green space is huge to let the kids run around. Originally I wasn't too sure about how the food would be here, but man was I overly impressed with the chicken fried steak. I ordered the larger size and was it good! Crispy fried, steak was tender and not tough to eat. Honestly one of the best chicken fried steaks I've ever had. It hit the spot for my craving. Will be back for sure!

    Saw the sign for crawfish for $4.99/lb, so I decided to check it out. Got a few pounds, some hush puppies, and called it a day. Crawfish weren't anything to go crazy over but solid. I didn't like the seafood boil seasoning. It oddly tasted like pizza sauce. I love the atmosphere here. It really feels like a family friendly place where everyone can go and enjoy.

    One of the amazing scenery's you can enjoy.

    What an incredible special celebration of life to a great man, friend, and brother. Tiffani was an incredible bartender and complete server.

    The food here is amazing. Ordered the seafood platter. The platter accompanied (2) fried catfish, (3) fried butterfly shrimp, fried popcorn shrimp, hush puppies, switched out onion rings and cold slaw. The service was friendly, upbeat and highly suggested of the menu. The ambiance was western and child-friendly. Very clean, exciting but safe. Full of space and activities for the young ones. I highly recommend this establishment, it's totally worth the trip. Haven't been here in years but once back I remembered why I liked it so much.

    I went to Clay's Restaurant to see what this place is about. I love the vibes here. The staff was friendly and accommodating to make sure my food was served right. I had the chicken fried chicken and peach blueberry cobbler. It was delicious! I participated in their Eat Drink HTX event where the proceeds help the Houston Food Bank so I love that they help local community organizations. Thanks for a great food experience!

    Chicken Fried Steak, red beans and rice and green beans

    Very good chicken fried steak. Order at the counter and bring the table number with you. Server will deliver. Overall very good and would come back. Red beans and rice are a must try side dish

    The service was decent. You order at the register. Drinks were okay. Now the carwfish was nasty there was no flavor to it. Just toget potatoes, corn, sausage, boiled egg and ect., you have to pay per item. Which ends up getting a bit pricey. I will not be back for the crawfish!

    Crawfish

    Was SO excited to try the crawfish here for the first time after seeing their FB post about having a great Easter deal! I've been to Clay's many times before and everything was great. We ordered 7lbs of crawfish to go, last night and when we got it home.. when I say.. GRIT and muddy! I'm fully aware that crawfish come from mud but there is proper ways of cleaning them... this is NOT ok! I went back to the post and commented on their Facebook (after they asked for a review on the crawfish) and comment was deleted and I got BLOCKED!!! Haha.. I then called and spoke to the manager and explained. He took my info down to "check this out" and said he'd be giving me a call back aaaand... nothing.... Didn't want to have to do all this but if this is how you treat and serve paying customers... yikes!! The pics show about 85% of the 7lbs, dated and timestamped for your convenience can't hide now..

    I absoutley love Clay's, and I frequent this place often. This place is very casual and kid friendly. This is the kind of place you go just to enjoy a nice evening out with the family, get some good food and laugh. When I go I always go for the crawfish and margaritas but I always also try something new. My son always gets the burger kids meal. I love the fact that we can go dine and my son can hang out in the courtyard area where there are typically other kids. Because it's so affordable I like to go on random weekday nights just to get out the house and spend some quality time.

    20 out of 10!! We drove 30 min cause going out to eat just isn't fun unless my babies have somewhere to play. The kids areas are amazing what I wasn't expecting was the best fish & chips I've ever had! There is something special about this place and I'm ALL about it!!

    Come here every Wednesday and it's always delicious! The crawfish is huge and only $4.99 a pound! We've also tried the cheeseburgers, loaded baked potatoes (pulled pork is better than brisket in our opinion), quesadillas, and potato skins. All really good and reasonably priced! The servers here are so nice and super helpful with whatever you need- especially Jo & Princess! Every time they see us they always greet us with a smile and help make our visit more pleasant. We always sit on the giant patio- so many tables & fans- to let the kids play on the large green space while we chat. TLDR- great family friendly place/ reasonably priced/ awesome servers

    This kind of reminded me Blazing Saddles for some reason

    Super popular burger spot in Houston - but is it worth the hype?…read more It is a build your own burger concept with fast service. Food comes out quickly and you are able to modify it however you want! There are coloring sheets for children and wifi. Lots of seating to eat (both indoor and outdoor). There is a soda fountain and water that is self serve. Definitely a place to hang out with friends/family and grab a quick bite to eat. loved the SWEET SOURDOUGH as the bun since it was slightly sweet and had a nice squishy like chew. The sourdough element really gives it that tug that I love in bread. the patties are thin, lacy, and smashed. Nicely salty and seasoned. for the sauce I would recommend the SCALLION AIOLI since it was warming and garlicy adding a really nice punch of flavor. the SWEET POTATO FRIES were a delicious side (crisp, piping hot, tasty). Overall I have not much to knock burgerchan on - besides their lack of lettuce wraps as an option haha but they do offer your burger on a bed of lettuce. they also have super fun unique milkshakes like vietnamese coffee, black sesame, etc (I'd try that next time). lots of sides and protein patty options in case you don't eat beef. they also have chicken, turkey, and falafel.

They had a good menu, with options for anyone's dietary needs. This is a 100% family centric business. I had read about their story on the website. Highly recommend you take a look. They bring in elements of this into their restaurant with theit kids names throughout the joint. Parking was easy enough, and it looks like they labeled the parking barriers with names of the family's kids. I ran into some of the owners as I waited for my order. They were decorating the back patio, and they have the kids up on the walls too. I walked in to make an order, And left 15 minutes later with everything I needed. I ordered the Montecito, a very tasty chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, and well flavored. I also upgraded the fries.
