    Bacon cheeseburger
    Janiah S.

    For airport food, this isn't too bad. We ordered from the Togo counter which was a lot faster than waiting 20 mins just to get a table. The service gal at the Togo counter was great. Our order took about 12 mins and she brought it out with a smile and packed with all the condiments, napkins and utensils. I ordered the spicy grilled chicken sandwich. It was just ok. It did have good flavor but I prefer a real chicken breast patty that is breaded, rather than a chicken nugget patty. Hubby ordered the bacon burger and he said his was 3 stars as well.

    We had a long layover at the airport & wanted get some lunch while we waited. Hubcap grill had plenty of seating with ample space for our luggage's, we sat pub style table. Our waitress was really nice, got us started on waters & gave us time to browse the menu. After a while we decided & our waitress came back to take our orders. I opted for the classic cheeseburger with tots, and partner got the bacon cheeseburger with fries & the kiddo got the hangover burger I believe with fries. The wait for the food wasn't too long, about 10-15 minutes. They have music playing & tvs in the bar area. Our food came out, everything was hot & fresh. The fries were delicious & well seasoned. My tots were lil over cooked for my liking but still good. Our burgers were juicy & seasoned. It was nice to have a space to eat, sit down & enjoy a meal.

    This place, just a few weeks ago, was the location of a Pappas Bros. joint. They were booted from the airport because ... probably politics. But I digress. Hubcap Grill had a location in my hometown for a minute, and their burgers are some of the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. This stop, however, was merely a beer run prior to hopping on a plane. The burger menu here is somewhat limited, which is understandable at an airport. The beer menu sufficed. The staff here was very polite. The joint was also clean and welcoming.

    I was a party of one and the host and hostess sat me at the bar even though there was a plethora of open tables and no wait. The service was a solid 2/5. I asked for a water and ordered a seltzer and bacon cheese fries. I never got my water even though I was at the bar. The staff was more interested in each other and tasting drink samples than anything else. My fries were cold and so the cheese coagulated almost immediately after I got served. I did not ask for a redo bc I couldn't even get the water I had ordered initially. So it was cold hard fries, cold yellow cheese, and sprinkles of bacon I really enjoyed my hard seltzer. I would recommend this place for drinks and drinks only.

    Pretty good. Food comes medium rare. But great. Ask for well done. Or get the Texas food version. Service was super fast. The taste was great. Burger with bacon. French fries were cracked pepper and salt. Tasty. My taste buds boomed. Refills fast. Quality att3ntion from the waitress. Great spot for a burger or chicken while at Hobby International Airport. Prices are a casual fair.

    Philly Cheesesteak Fries - Looks better than it tastes :-/

    Not impressed at all. The staff and service is below par. The Philly cheesesteak fries looked good, but it was very disappointing. My crown n Coke was very weak. Find another spot.

    Bacon cheeseburger with fries

    Place was cool not too busy for a Sunday afternoon waiting for my flight. Easily grabbed a table for 6 and ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Plate came out in about 10 minutes and the burger was huge. The bacon was crispy and delicious and the meat was perfect. It was great burger for about 20 bucks, a lil pricy but airport food is more expensive.

    I visited the HOU airport location so the menu may have been limited but I ordered a chicken sandwich and it was really good, as well as the fries. Prices are as to be expected for diner type food. Service was decent for a group of 7. Mostly burgers, sandwiches, loaded fries, and a few other sides and salad. They also serve cocktails and mimosas.

    Philly fries = ok
    Scott B.

    Good, quick preflight meal. My Buckle Bunny cream ale was light and refreshing and served in a refreshingly iced mug. My order of Philly fries came out hot & cheesy, and was larger than expected- a meal all by itself. The shaved philly steak lacked flavor and was a little dry. My server was prompt & very friendly.

    Must try the New Hub Cap Grill in Santa Fe, Tx. Great place to get a delicious Grilled Burger. Friendly helpful staff and nice atmosphere.

    Cheese fries were good! 10/10 Burger was ok! 7/10

    Not a real restaurant. It is operated by the airport catering company and has the same crappy food as the rest of the airport.

    Not at the airport. I would like at least one restaurant with semi-healthy food. Not even the salads rate healthy.

There is a parking lot available across the street with a sign saying "Social Beer Garden Parking" Good and fast service. There is also different fun events that they have on Fridays or weekends.

    Social Beer Garden just doesn't do it for me. I've been once or twice years ago and recently…read moredecided to give it another try, hoping for a different experience, but unfortunately I still left unimpressed. To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.

It could be defined as a dive bar, but we have had and have many of those in South Houston. People have always driven into this small city for night scene, remember the clubs: Hallaballoos and Rockys? Now-a-days we have many other places where locals hang out. The eclectic indoor area is spacious, they have a stage, and pool tables. The outdoors in front has a small raspa eatery feel to it, but a bigger, relaxed, and more gentrified area in the back. Are you a homebody? If you're a gamer or "I don't like people" type, then no worries come pick up your drinks to-go via the drive thru. They have a heavy hand. The menu has everything that tickles MY alcoholic fancy. Mixed drinks, Jello shots, stiff drinks. I felt like I was in EADO, come on my peeps, you'll enjoy this out of the way, yet in the way bar (club in our small town). I can really chill at this spot frequently and I don't say that about any spot!

Construction…read morein the area is heavy, and quite a bit of traffic, parking was packed, yet we did find a spot close to the door. Service has changed since last I have been here many years ago. In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.
