    Classic Chicken Alfredo
    Erica C.

    4/5/2015, Saturday - our first time there. We arrived around 8pm. We were told we moused the rush. Very friendly employees and interesting decor. They had a variety of options to choose from including Chinese food. We ordered appetizers, fried pickles, fried gator and shrimp bombers. Fried gator were small and 5 bombers came out. all tasted good. Lots of food on the plates and should be shared as entrees. Everything was great! I would come here again. See photos. From California visiting over here.

    Crawfish Queso

    This is definitely a "hidden" gem! Greeted as soon as you walk in, small & quaint! Food is absolutely delicious! We started with the crawfish queso - it's great with the home made chips. Had the hangover griddle - boudin, sausage, eggs, potatoes & cheese and can't forget the waffle!! Huge portion & the waffle was delicious!! Definitely worth a stop when en route to Alvin!

    Picked up to go order. Ordered egg rolls. They were OVER COOKED. Burned. Were not pleasant to taste.

    Soft shell crab was phenomenal!

    The food was great!! Service and timeliness of said service was top notch. Definitely plan to return.

    Gumbo and eggrolls.

    I stopped buy this past Tuesday, the food was not good, the gumbo was awful tasted like cumin-bo, some kind of Mexican concoction. The fried shrimp was also awful they had a weird taste like they were going bad. I will not be back.

    Pretty nice service. Good Cajun food. A friend thought it was on the salty side. I'm a fan of salty foods so I wouldn't know if it was or not. It had flavor to me. 3 Flounder and etoufee 3/5 Flounder was good. Etoufee was soso. But watery. Not as saucy as we like it. Gumbo 2/5 Light, tad bland. Too watery. Flavor was okay. Fried seafood platter 5/5 Fish was good. Super tasty batter. Lots of food to try. Everything was still tender. Tartar was good. Boudin something 5/5 Unique take on boudin. Tasted like dirty rice fried in both sides. Super flavorful, had a nice light crunch and soft inside. Played a good balance in texture. It maybe I'm just weird. Stuffed flounder 4/5 Has a good flavor and sauce on top but was a bit dry. Cesar salad 5/5 Solid salad. Dressing a bit salty but it's on the side so that's good.

    Fried Seafood Platter

    Outstanding fried seafood! I needed fresh gulf seafood while in the area, and this place did not disappoint. The platter is more food than it looks in the picture, and I subbed out the fries for a salad. Everything seemed fresh, and all was delicious!

    Sad little crawfish etouffee :(

    This place does good business! We got there at 5pm and had to wait a bit for a table. Fried alligator with onion strings - 5/5 Would order again. Alligator was tender and moist. Onion rings - 0/5 Terrible, thick pancake like batter and mushy onion. Never again. Jumbo shrimp cocktail - 3.5/5 Nothing wrong with it other than the word "jumbo" being misleading. Large shrimp at best. The cocktail glass dwarfed the shrimp. Chicken fried steak - Didn't try it but the consumer had no complaints! Crawfish etouffee - 1.5/5 Decent amount of crawfish, but too different in flavor from pretty much every other crawfish etouffee out there. The color made it look more like a curry. And it wasn't very warm. Not for me. Nobody at the table wanted to finish it. Sorry, etouffee. Fried shrimp/oysters/crawfish/etc. - 5/5 No complaints. Crispy and fresh. Hushpuppies - 0/5 Absolute trash. Please improve these flavorless, hard balls. Spicy boiled red potatoes - 5/5 My mouth was on fire in the best of ways. Italian cream cake - 4.5/5 The only thing that would make it better is more cream cheese in the frosting. It tasted more like buttercream. We had some hits and some misses but we'll be back to try new things and more of the good things! The staff was also very friendly and we loved our waitress!

    Stuffed flounder platter.. the flounder was too tiny and too much starch in there... couldn't even taste the fish itself

    Stopped by and picked up a fish and fries for my mother and this is what I unveiled when we got home.

Even after joining the waitlist ahead of time, my party of seven still waited about 30 to 40 minutes before being seated. Considering the holiday crowd, though, that was completely understandable. One of the highlights of the evening was our waitress, JB, who was genuinely one of the best servers I have ever had. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and efficient throughout the meal. We started with an order of fried pickles, which arrived almost immediately. The pickles were crispy and well fried, though I found the ranch dressing a bit thicker than I prefer. For my entrée, I ordered the 12-ounce prime rib cooked on the rare side, along with steak fries and a Caesar salad. The salad was fairly standard, and while the steak fries were nothing extraordinary, I still have not found a side I prefer more. Prime rib can sometimes be hit or miss when it comes to temperature, so I was happy to see that mine was cooked perfectly this time. It was incredibly tender and seasoned just right. The au jus kept every bite moist, while the creamy horseradish provided the perfect contrast to the richness of the meat. My sister ordered the country fried chicken, which was less successful. The chicken itself was decent, but the white gravy was noticeably salty and overpowered the dish. I also would have preferred the gravy to be served on the side rather than poured over the chicken, as it made the breading soggy and masked some of the flavor. Overall, this was another solid Texas Roadhouse experience. Between the excellent service, well-cooked prime rib, and lively atmosphere, the restaurant delivered on what it does best. While not every dish was a winner, the quality of the meal and the outstanding service made for a memorable Father's Day meal.

Bottom line, plenty of spaces. Side note, they're not all spaced the way you might expect. Walking in, the place was hopping. Much more crowded than the former business. Pretty good sized menu. They serve you the red salsa, but you can ask for the green. The kind that gives you heart burn for hours. Worth it. Both salsa were great, chips were fresh. We ordered house margaritas, and those were also very good. Pricing was average. For food we ordered the parrillada El Malecon. Mixed beef and chicken, with ribs and quail. Here's where things went a little rough. We ordered the "for two" but the entire was still in a " for one" portion. 3 pieces of steak, 3 chicken, one quail 2 rib portions. Definitely seemed off. The manager came by, and we discussed. On THEIR menu, the double portion is only 4 strips of steak, 4 of chicken, still only one quail, and two rib portions. The reasoning we were given is that people don't seem to like the quail. First, nothing about this is "for two." For 45.99 this isn't it. The chicken and beef were good, the quail was not seasoned well unfortunately, and the ribs were over sauced with a cheap syrupy sauce. Overall food was a no. But here's where I also have to give credit. They stuck with their defense, and while we discussed someone brought a plate of chicken and beef. While we weren't going to ask for anything, we do appreciate their thoughtfulness and speedy resolution. Maybe they knew it was coming , or maybe they just jumped ahead to make it work. Either way, we appreciated that effort. Overall, service was great, food was 50/50. Wouldn't do the parrilladas again, but would try other menu items.

On this particular evening we stuck to the seafood and we were not disappointed. We came out on a Tuesday, and Pizza Hut, next door, was running a 5.99 deal and the place was bonkers. On a normal day, parking is not much of a problem and there's plenty of space, but on this day it was a little hectic. Don't expect that to be the usual. Walking in the restaurant was quiet, there were three tables being served at the time. We were immediately set and we had a lot of different menu options to go through. We had their normal menu, their feast and their weekly and daily specials. So many things looked good, so we took our time going over the menu. We ordered half a dozen raw oysters, and these were massive. They serve them with lemons and Sriracha. Excellent combination. 10 out of 10 would order again. The gal went with flounder fillets and crawfish etouffee over rice. The flounder was fried perfectly. The etouffee was fantastic. I had the redfish with crawfish etouffee and I loved my redfish and the etouffee was fantastic on my dish as well. 10 out of 10 would order the redfish again, same with the flounder. Overall this is a fantastic meal. We had a bill of $46 for two big plates and half a dozen oysters. Not a bad deal. They do have some pretty good deals on it. Some of their other specials and their larger boils and feast. And while we were there they also had 1199 lb crawfish rate. We'll have to come back for the Crawfish and see how they do. They also have events throughout the week and month at the restaurant. That might be worth checking out if you're in the area. Was very pleased with our meal and visit. Will definitely be back.

From what I understand, this spot was opened by a child or children of the owners of Emma's. It's a family affair and it's right down the street. The restaurant is located right outside of my neighborhood so we decided to check them out to celebrate family November birthdays. We called the day before to see about holding a table for about 10 people and they were accommodating and said they would. When we arrived the restaurant was not too busy and they never even asked about a reservation. Our waitress was very nice but service overall was a little slow. It took a couple of asks to get cutlery and napkins. They only had a couple of place settings out. They were good about refills of chips and beverages, but the food took a very long time considering it was not that busy. My crew got a variety of different things so we really got a good sample of the menu. They have all your typical Tex Mex options. I had a taste for beef so I went with the carne asada and added the flameada topping which was chihuahua cheese and chorizo. The plate come out sizzing hot and was a pretty generous portion of skirt steak. It was served with fresh tortillas, rice and your choice of beans. The steak was a little on the tougher side but the flavor was on point. The addition of chorizo really elevated every bite. The rice and beans were good but they give really small portions of that. I ended up taking food home but without rice and beans. Everyone in my group seemed to like their food. I like that they really put thought into presentation of the plates as well. Overall, it was a solid spot. Is it my favorite in Pearland? Nah. But this close proximity to my house will make it very appealing to return.

I'm a regular at the Pearland location and was excited to check out this location in Iowa Colony which is just south of Pearland. My friend who lives in the neighborhood and I decided we should do pizza at his house and gather up some friends. It was a Monday night and the Texans had a playoff game. Center Court happens to run one of the best deals around on Mondays which is get any of their pizzas for 12 bucks. Glad we ordered ahead because everyone in the area had the same idea. The parking lot was full and there was a wait to get our food even with ordering way ahead. The restaurant sits on the end of a strip of businesses and this location even has a patio and playground. We got a variety of their specialty pies and they were all solid. The Ninja Turtle is a pepperoni lovers kind of pizza It was loaded with pepperoni and lots of extra cheese. Free Throw was their take on a supreme. It had the meats plus some veggies to brighten up that bite a little bit. Carnivore was a meat lovers type of pizza. There may be a thing of too much meat as it was a little on the dry side. A little more sauce would have gone a long way with that one. Asian Persuasion was one of my favorites of the night. Think of pho on a pizza. It had a gochujang base with beef, onions and fresh jalapenos. It was different in a good way. Lastly, we got the Buffalo Chicken pizza. It was another favorite of the night. It had some heat and the buffalo sauce did not overpower the pizza. One thing I also love about their pizza is that they season their crust with this wonderful green concoction of I don't know what, but it works. We didn't stray from pizza on this trip, but Center Court has lots of other options as well. They have calzones, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, salads and desserts. Two of my all time favorite things they serve is their pepperoni rolls and their wings. Their wings are some of my favorite in the whole city. I have yet to go to a Center Court that has let me down. I will definitely be returning here if in the area.
