Stopped by Home Run Dugout in Katy while scouting locations for a potential work town hall, and I have to give a shoutout to Gabriel--his energy and customer service were outstanding from the moment I reached out. Super responsive, welcoming, and just genuinely great to work with. When we arrived, he met us outside, gave us a full tour, and let us experience the space firsthand. We got to play some of the batting games, try an entrée, and grab a couple of drinks--everything was a great preview of what they offer. The setup is really versatile. You can host a meeting in a private space and then transition right into the batting experience, which makes it perfect for team outings or offsites. Pricing was very reasonable, and they even offer 15% off on Corporate Thursdays, which is a nice perk. Also didn't realize they host concerts--definitely adds to the overall vibe. We haven't officially booked yet, but this spot is absolutely worth checking out. Whether it's for a team event or just a fun hangout with friends, it's a unique and well-run place. read more

Don't take your children here they threw us out of a concert because my daughter got too hot and got sick The bathroom lines were so long she couldn't even get in and we didn't even get to see a show that we paid for and they threw my 15 and 16-year-old daughters out on their own. I had to go outside and find them very bad place read more

We gave this spot another try - Watch out for this place the servers will add an automatic tip indiscreetly regardless of the number of people in your party and then try to get more on top of that, they will also never bring out a detailed receipt with the check. God I hate that crap read more

Fun place to hang out and show off your batting skills. It's well managed, clean, and has good customer service. Our company had a happy hour here. They had chilli dogs, burgers, salad, chips/dips, and desserts. Not gourmet, but enjoyable food for this type of setting. The batting station is pretty cool. Basically, a ball pops up and you hit it, and the screen animates where the ball goes. You can to play different games at different ball parks. Creates a bit of friendly competition. They have an outdoor field for wiffle ball as well. I saw some kids play and it looked fun! I recommend checking this place out! Fun spot to hang out and experience something new. read more

Decided to check out this place while we had family in town. We made a reservation online but had to call and change it because our lunch reservation ran over. They were really accommodating and pushed our time back. The establishment is pretty large with indoor and outdoor activities including photo booth, corn hole, baseball, simulation baseball, and merchandise to purchase. The simulation game was cool. If you enjoy baseball I think it offers a great alternative. We didn't try the food but it looked good. read more

First impressions it was very cool and diffrent and was like a top golf but for baseball looked very nice. Sat down and the menu was short, I ordered a turkey blt with house chips and it was great. I normally avoid turkey because it's dry but this turkey was great and the bacon was too. Then the house made chips where un believable also I highly recommend. The owner I think was our server and he was so enthusiastic and kind and always made sure we had what we needed it feels like someone who really loves baseball made this place and not a greedy corporation. And the main attraction the baseball is very nice and fun this place seems to be the most perfect place for a birthday party. I love it the only thing holding it back from 5 stars is the unfinished feel it feels like a project that is still being made and the menu is short if I could it would be rated a 4.5. The bathrooms are super nice also read more

We had an amazing Sunday at the dugout! The virtual reality games were fantastic and very easy to use for all ages. We chose to eat before entering the virtual area, but if we had known we could eat while playing, we probably would have taken that option. It's nice that you can order food and drinks while you play. When we arrived and went out to the bar area, it took a moment for someone to come and serve us. Additionally, the chairs at the bar were quite dusty, so we asked an employee if she could wipe down our two chairs. She mentioned that someone would come around to do it, even though she had a towel and cleaning spray in her hand. Fortunately, she decided to clean the chairs for us. The food was really good. I ordered the BLT, and my partner ordered the wings. The lemon pepper wings are a must-try, and the BLT is huge, so come hungry! I would definitely visit again. I'm considering coming back in the evening to see the outside scenery lit up. read more

Fun place for friends and family to enjoy. The baseball simulator was pretty user friendly and our entire group could make contact with the ball regardless of experience. Food and drinks were pricey for what they were. Comparable to top golf. Service was friendly but as others have mentioned it was kinda slow. read more

We liked the spot however we did not think the batting was as fun. I understand they have to make it safe for all. Do not go in expecting it to be like a batting cage. The location is fun. Outdoor area for kids to play. Larger outdoor area. Dueling pianos for live music the day we went. We did not need reservation for a batting bay. Food was good and service was good. The batting bay is very expensive for what it was. read more

Made a reservation ahead of time for 8pm and our slot wasn't available until 820. Service was not great and no time estimate was given to us. The food was fine - we got the nachos but subbed fries for tortilla chips. It was good queso but the jalapeños were terrible and only like three shreds of pickles onions were given. The game felt really dumb to me. The ball used is really soft and therefore the simulation is sub par. I wouldn't go back. Maybe for tiny children. I also ordered a margarita and it was an entire cup of ice and like two sips of drink. read more

This place is fantastic, but the food is just average. I've tried the fried pickles, meh, some french fries that I was told would be outstanding, meh and was really looking forward to the Brisket queso. Didn't find a lot of brisket in it. Too many black beans and too much corn, so meh. Higher costs than similar dishes at other places. read more

I had an amazing time with some friends that came into town at Home Run Dugout! To be honest, the only real negative of this place was the parking - if you get there after dinner time on a weekend you will be out of luck and have to find parking at any of their adjacent parking lots. The reason why? Because aside from all their batting activities, they have a bar, stage, and open floor for dancing to live music at night that gets pretty lively. I would assume during the day and on weeknights it isn't so packed, but just be aware you may have to walk a distance from where you parked. The batting itself was fun and I loved that it was indoors. Think top golf as far as the bay setup but instead of hitting a golf ball into the open green, you are hitting a baseball into a virtual screen. I will note our particular bay seemed to have the baseballs not pop up as high as others bays to hit, so we did struggle a little bit having to swing so low almost every time. However, that didn't take the fun away from some friendly competition. To top things off, the food and drinks were pretty good too. I had a birria quesadilla which was recommended by our waitress and it was satisfying. I will definitely come back with family next time and just make sure we come earlier in the day! read more

Ordered the sweet potato fries they were hot, tasty and meaty. The service was a bit robotic but cordial. Wipes would be nice. The ambiance has a Texas country feel. The air feels good though. Activity best for a group setting read more

Great waitstaff and our party had a blast. Came for food, drinks and play time. The machines are a bit laggy and we had to ask for service twice within an hour but help came promptly and were very accommodating. read more

A great venue to spend Time with the family . Went with nephews and grandkids and we all had a great experience. Food was good and the service was great. read more

Ok so first off if you're renting a bay on the weekends after 7pm for 60mins it's 140$...no it doesn't come with a drink, complimentary appetizers Nothing! So that's that off the table. Service was excellent, our bartender Tristin was prompt, informative, professional and all around GREAT! We had never tried peanut butter whiskey only heard of it on a tv show..but it was delicious and Tristin was very informative on this drink and his experience..lol Fiid we ordered a 58$ platter that contained 12 wings, fries, pizza, cheese sticks , celery n carrots...everything was good and hot. Our bay contained aluminum bats of different sizes and the instructions were simple. Once your time runs out and you go close out they is when they charge your bay and food/drinks you ordered. Our total was 222$...a lil expensive but for a fun night , good food, great service and peanut butter whisky (4shots) I think was well worth it! Definitely returning! read more

Home Run Dugout - Peanut butter whiskey! Delicious! - American Near Me - Katy, Texas

Honestly, this place was such a letdown. We came in, waited patiently, and watched other groups who came after us get seated and served first. The staff clearly didn't care -- no explanation, no apology, nothing. It really felt like they only paid attention to certain customers and ignored us. Totally ruined the vibe. Food might be fine, but the way they treat people? Awful. Not coming back. read more

I enjoyed the batting experience and the service was very good. The problem I had was that I was unable to use my own bat even though the HRD website states to bring your bat in and have it approved for use. I did that but was told outside equipment was not allowed. Either do what the website says or change the website. Thank you. read more

Why 4 stars? Because this is a fun place to spend an afternoon. --- --- --- I've been wanting to check this place out for a while and I didn't think there was any better reason to finally do it, than to make it a Christmas present for my 10 year old nephew who's obsessed with baseball. We rented a bay for one hour and played all three games: just regular batting practice, home run derby, and something that I think was called Basebowl, which I'm still unclear on how it was different than home run derby. The technology is in the bays is good, not great. You should definitely not swing to hit the ball hard, as much as you should aim to just hit it straight up in the air. Even mishits are ruled home runs when you're on the easy setting, as long as you hit it up. Also, the balls sometime don't really come out of the tube right, but an employee showed us how to re-do a "pitch" about halfway through our session, so that was helpful. We also enjoyed playing wiffle ball on the field for a while. It would be the perfect place to play a legit wiffle ball game because it was a super nice turf field. We didn't order any food - only some waters and sodas, but it was convenient to have a guy walking around waiting on us. It's not cheap - about $100 an hour for a bay, but I did appreciate that they threw us some extra time. I said we only needed 5 more minutes and he gave us 15 to finish the last round of our game. I'll definitely be back in the future! read more

Gabriel did an amazing job organizing our party! The indoor baseball venue was perfect. clean, spacious, and so fun for both kids and adults. Everything was well-coordinated, from the setup to making sure we had enough tables and space for our vendors. He was very helpful, responsive, and made the whole process stress-free. Our guests had such a great time, and the party turned out even better than we expected. Highly recommend Gabriel for any event! read more

Really disappointed with the tipping setup here. They hand you the payment machine and say "it's going to ask you a question," which is obviously the tip screen. The suggested tips start unusually high, and even worse, they calculate the tip based on the full hitting bay rental cost instead of just food or service. It feels manipulative and intentionally designed to pressure customers into over tipping. Just be upfront and fair with people and pay your employees fairly. read more

We came here as a company outing and we all had a blast. Our server, Mia, was phenomenal as she presented a high level of service that for a big crowd, any server may feel overwhelmed to handle. The food was delicious! Our food was buffet style due to the big group but the way it was served, made it easy for everyone to grab a plate and sit back down. Once it was all gone, they had another round within 15 minutes. I was a bit skeptical on how the entire experience would go because of the bad weather we experienced that morning, but everything was great once it was all over. I will be back with my family! read more

Meh. The game was really struggling for us at Lane 13. Mechanical issues several at bats, and at times the software would glitch where it would not show our hits. Restarted a few times. Staff did a great job helping with mechanical issues. Speakers and TV were not working in our area. Just expected more. Food was good. Ambiance was good, and the entire facility was very clean. read more

Huge place for going on your own, with friends and/or family with the kids. There are a lot of things to do and very attentive servers with great live bands. One bartender (blonde in pics), only one did not seem very friendly and walked by my empty drink multiple times, and it was not very busy yet at outdoor bar. The other bartenders were great, and I am glad this place is here. The wildcatter saloon is a smidgen better with a more home feel, but this place is great also. Flip a coin for here or wildcatter saloon read more

So we drove all the way to Katy from Pearland to check out the Chihuahua Races at Home Run Dugout. I really wanted to have our chihuahua Chica in the race but she hates car rides, she hates being outside, she hates other dogs, and she hates people not in her family. LOL, so we did not take her this time. When we got there, they let us walk right in to find seating. There were almost no shaded seating areas for us. We found a table and a waitress came to us right away to take our order. They had $3 hotdogs for this chihuahua race so my son was pretty happy about that. There was a man with a guitar and was signing which was nice. He sang some good 90s and early 2000s songs. Which of course my kids had never heard of. They hosed down the turf with water to prepare for the race. Which I thought was great, it's extremely hot out and no one wants their dog's paws to burn. The dogs raced two at a time until the final championship race. A dog named Penelope won, and her owner got a $100 gift card. The second place got a smaller monetary gift card. This was a lot of fun. We have no interest in playing baseball, but we would definitely be back for future chihuahua races. read more

I came here for a concert last night. I was not able to actually participate in the batting cages, but I plan to go back sometime! The place was really nice. The service was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised about how big it was to actually fit enough people to have a concert there. I am looking forward to my next visit! This is a new great place for concerts as well. read more

A lot of fun, good music everything was really good actually. They have all the right spots. There's not a bad spot to sit watch and listen kind of gets a little mixed up from the concert to the baseball but once she gets to understanding it is actually a standup place. read more

What a fun spot! It was a fairly large group of us. Most of us were first timers here. They did a poor job of explaining to us how to the game goes and how to set up. The atmosphere is great. Parking is plentiful. The bathroom is clean. The bartending service was great. Special shoutout to Shay for providing great service at the bar. The food was plentiful and enough to share. I will be back. This spot is an all around spot. Good for a date, group, and for children. read more

Finally went for the first time(on July 19th) and really enjoyed myself! Went with the boyfriend for noche latina since Texas Salsa Congress was doing free salsa classes there. We got there early to enjoy some drinks and the staff was really nice greeting as we walked in. We didn't plan on eating there so we just walked over to the bar. The place is much bigger than I expected, with lots of bays, outdoor and indoor bars, and a mini baseball field. Plus space for a live band to play which is what we also got enjoy after that dance class. The 4 drinks we got were very yummy and the bartender would check on us every now and then to see if we wanted anything else. Wasn't too busy when we got there at about 6:45, but we left at around 9:15 to grab food elsewhere and came back to it being packed. Plus no parking. So if you plan on going head out probably aim to be there before 9pm. Even if just going to the bar, because when we went back there was no seats whatsoever (there was people standing being those seated). This place holds lots of events! So check their insta page or their website, never know if you'll find something for you and the family. Eventually I'll need to go back to try out the batting experience! read more

Wow, this place is amazing! Me and some friends attended the Ted Nugent show at Home Run Dugout and everything went great! There is plenty of free parking, the front door staff was helpful and professional, the bartenders are amazing and on time and the restrooms were very clean!

I truly love and enjoy this place sooooo much !! Very fun and cute for a date night with your significant other ! This is also fun to go with your friends and family but I would suggest you go with a few people for the bay because of the time even though you get 90 minutes it does go by quickly ! I think 2-3 people per bay is better because then you get all the time needed for you and your friends to bat ! On Tuesdays they do half off the bay which is nice ! IPAs are a must when you are batting lol ! Also they have a cute outside patio area where kids can run around and adults can sit and watch the big screens! Depending on the day you go you might have to do a reservation, I would do one just incase to be safe! Lastly, the apparel there is one of a kind and very nice! Love the baseball aesthetic! Definitely will be coming back here ! read more

Not the best experience from the beginning and it just got worse from there. I went in to have post appointment dinner and play time with my 7 year old since he lives in Katy and I live in Houston. We arrived and the wait staff was lounging around. That wasn't a big deal, as the place is pretty relaxed to begin with. As my underaged, minor, 7 year old child and I got our food, I noticed that one of the wait staff helping a table, was sagging his sweat pants to a point where you could see his entire underpants all the way down to his hamstrings. And to top it off, the music that was playing when we started to eat had very explicit lyrics that are politically hateful toward people of color. It doesn't matter which political affiliation I may be, I don't want to patronize a business that allows such vile behavior from their wait staff and plays inappropriate music for our children to hear. read more

This place is a badly transformed of a fake baseball entertainment experience. What I mean by that is the technology didn't work half the time for the bases . The getting used to of a ball come up from this hole and hitting it was annoying. The staff here isnt very helpful. Or friendly. The food is way overpriced for a crappy experience. Also this place gets packed really really easily. Plus the prices to book a bay/ base is very expensive. Overall skip this place read more
