    Cajun shrimp Cobb salad
    Victor H.

    A coworker of mine held an afternoon reception lunch here where they rented a section of the restaurant for it. I definitely see why this is a favorite amongst the locals and my coworkers party. Patio seating gives a gorgeous view of the water or you can sit inside amongst the many tables and booths available. As for the food, they offer cajun-inspired eats and seafood options here, all of which are quite tasty. They have oysters available along with crawfish if you want to go that avenue. My girlfriend and I kept it simple starting with the stuffed mushrooms, comes with 7 mushrooms stuffed with crab in a butter sauce. Pretty tasty although most of the flavor comes from the sauce. As for entrees, she ordered the cajun pasta while I went with the cajun shrimp cobb salad. The pasta is quite large and rich which suited her. I enjoyed the salad which had all the fixings of a cobb salad; I would've preferred the egg be chopped up but I can't complain. We finished our meal with the bread pudding which was delicious and full of cinnamon and caramel. Apparantly it's their best-selling dessert and I can see why. I noticed they also have live music here on certain days and an expansive happy hour. While this spot is far from where we live, we're definitely open to coming back here to taste other items.

    Monty's Lighthouse is in a beautiful location. Unfortunately, it was a pretty hot day and we had our newborn with us, so we didn't get a chance to enjoy the outdoor seating, but the views alone make me want to come back and try it another time. The highlight for us was definitely the oysters. We tried a variety of them and really enjoyed them all. Fresh oysters with a good view is always a win. I ordered the po' boy, and honestly it just wasn't my favorite. That said, if you're going to order one, definitely get it with the voodoo sauce. That sauce was the best part, sweet, spicy, and packed with flavor. Service was good, and we got everything we needed without any issues. The restaurant was pretty busy, but I actually liked the atmosphere. It felt lively without being overwhelming. As a new parent, one thing I really appreciated was how easy it was to bring in a stroller. They have a variety of seating options, and we were able to roll right up to the table without feeling cramped or in the way. Overall, a solid experience, and I'd definitely come back. Especially when the weather cools off enough to enjoy the patio. This area I love with all the restaurants!

    We enjoyed driving out of downtown Houston for a relaxing Saturday evening and alternative to going to Galveston. The food and drinks were great yet the service was just okay.... Overall I am glad to have this as an open for a quick weekend day trip.

    My BF and I stumbled upon this spot. I didn't know what to expect since I didn't read any of the reviews. To be honest, I throughly enjoyed my food. This restaurant is located by the lake so we decided to sit outside to enjoy the views. Our server Collin was pretty nice and was on top of everything. Checked in on us a few times & made sure our drinks were refilled. To start, I ordered their gumbo. For our mains I got 3 pounds of crawfish with sausage & it comes with 2 potatoes & 1 corn. My BF ordered their shrimp Po-boy with French fries. & for dessert I got some beignets. I also ordered the Cajun pasta with shrimp to go. Now, I'm not gonna lie I was a little disappointed that I was overcharged for my crawfish. So they had the happy hour which you can get 2 pounds for 14 bucks. However I was charged 20.99 for 2 pounds on top of that another 7.99 for an extra pound. Okay, now I know I'm not tripping but the math ain't mathing. I didn't look at my receipt until I got home, but I'm not going to be upset over a few bucks. * Seafood Gumbo- kind of expensive for a cup of gumbo since it was 9.69 however it didn't taste bad. The sauce was on the thicker side and it wasn't salty, it had the right amount of seasoning. I would order it again. 3.5/5 * Shrimp Po-boy with fries- loved the batter and the shrimp was fried to perfection. Sauce was good too. Fries were just okay. 3.3/5 * 3 pounds of crawfish with sausage, potatoes and corn- whoever is boiling in the back knows what they're doing. The crawfish was buttery, spice level wasn't too spicy but had good amount of heat. The spicy mayo dipping sauce that was provided was delicious. Sausage was above standard. Corn was cooked nicely but the potatoes could've been boiled for another minute or two. The only criticism I have is that they need to purge their crawfish a little better. 4/5 * Cajun Pasta with shrimp- the pasta was creamy and shrimp was cooked nicely. However for an extra 5 bucks to substitute for shrimp they could've given at least 6-8 shrimps. The 4 I received was on the skimpy side. 3.4/5 * Beignets- came out piping hot. It was doughy, pillowy and had good texture. It also wasn't oily which is good. I just wish they had some sort of dipping sauce for the beignets but I ain't mad at the whip cream though. 4/5 Overall, I'll definitely come back. The inside looks nice with a beach type vibes. The patio views next to the lake was also good. Collin was a solid server. They also have a full bar as well. I'll have to order some of their cocktails next time.

    Great spot on the lake with great views and a great atmosphere. We always order the Voodoo Shrimp appetizer it's our favorite! Friendly service and a great place to enjoy a meal. We'll definitely be back!

    Another picture of the redfish

    Say was a great server. The stuffed blacken redfish was excellent. Hard to find good Creole food here

    Plenty of parking as it's in a shopping center. They had no issues with accommodating our walk in party of 8 people and a baby. We sat outside and our server did a great job with our orders and service. For appetizers, my husband and I split the Baked Tri of Oysters and the table split the Jalapeno Crab Queso. The Baked Trio was really good, I liked the flavors a lot. The Jalapeno Crab Queso was good but not as spicy as I would have hoped. Most of us ordered the crawfish (minimum 3 pounds) and you can add a variety of items to the boils. My husband order the Shrimp and Grits. The crawfish were delicious, I loved the spice of them and the Shrimp and Grits was great and packed with flavor. We did also order the Beignet Flight and I absolutely loved all of them but preferred the Hazelnut Chocolate the most. Definitely recommend coming in for a nice, casual dinner with friendly service. I felt a little bad because I know the restaurant was closing soon but the crawfish were taking some time and the server was friendly and did not rush us.

    Made a visit to Monty's Lighthouse Cajun Bar & Grill for some seafood on the lake. This is a "mom & pop" place and they have a varied menu to choose from. Worked with my server Ryan and decided on a shrimp cocktail and the Stuffed Redfish. The shrimp were good, but I didn't taste the Cajun Boil flavor...but they were good and the cocktail sauce had a solid kick. The Redfish was a nice slab and the crab stuffing was layered between a slice into the fish. I really enjoyed the lemon butter caper sauce, really complimented the fish without being overly "lemony". The veggies were excellent, perfectly cooked and seasoned while the dirty rice was some of the best I've had in a long time. Great food, wonderful view of the lake, and great service.

    View of Lake Conroe from the deck.

    Love the outdoor seating by Lake Conroe. We had fish tacos and the hamburger which had shrimp, carmelized onion and cheese on it. Amazing. Great service. Will absolutely return.

Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I wish I caught her name! One thing I really liked is that it feels like there are two completely different vibes depending on where you sit. There's a restaurant side and a bar side, which is perfect now that I have a newborn. It felt much more family-friendly than I expected and didn't feel like I was sitting in a sports bar. The food was awesome, too. Either it's been a while since I've been to a Tailgaters, or this location just does things differently, but I was surprised by how many food options there were. I finally got to try gator for the first time and ordered the Gator Dog. It was honestly delicious. It's mixed with pork, so it eats more like a really good sausage, which I loved. We also had the steak fingers and fried crawfish, and both were great. The real showstopper, though, was the onion rings. We had absolutely no idea how massive they were going to be. I'm still thinking about them. I seriously wish I had taken pictures of the food because it all looked incredible, but somehow I completely forgot. We'll definitely be back, and next time I'll remember to take photos before we start eating. But I had to add pictures of the menu because that's the one thing I looked for on the Yelp Page here and could not find it so hopefully this helps someone else.

The decor/setup provides a slightly upscale, but still casual, sports bar feel that's family friendly. There are dart boards and various games surrounding the tables but it's all separated appropriately. Tbh this would be a perfect place to watch your sport of choice! The lineup: SOFT SERVE MARGARITA: you read that right & The reason we came here (thanks Instagram!) we got strawberry and it was everything and more I needed it to be. Will be back for this alone.

I am soooo picky about fried pickles and these are the best I've had. The pickles were good, crunchy, not overly oily, and stayed together! 12/10 Pickle flatbread: apparently I felt in a pickle escapade mood. Surpringly not over pickly and delicious. I would absolutely get this again. The crust was soft and cheese was melty! 9/10 Fish tacos: average. The chipotle sauce was a bit spicy. Don't know that I would get these again. 5/10 Fries I could skip, not my fave. The street corn was so good, though I wouldn't consider it traditional &! A bit heavy on the red onion, but I enjoyed it! Their sauces were all so good! The prices were fair & I feel like the amount I paid was relative to what I had, so kudos to management for that! Last but certainly not least, Prestyn, our server was great and hilarious. We truly enjoyed her & her jokes! PS - Girl, you and your name are beautiful!

My family and I were actually out to go strawberry picking but ultimately did not meet our expectations. We were all hungry and by a search happened to find Landshark Bar & Grill. Interesting was the location next to Margaritaville.

Good selections and a nice crispy bite to each. Overall I think visiting Landshark Bar & Grill. The food ok and the atmosphere nice since it is overlooking Lake Conroe. Service was ok as well and I did appreciate manager stopping by the table to ask if everything was good. Maybe there is a cheeseburger in paradise.

My dining companions and I are veterans of the restaurant, catering & hospitality industry. The fish on the fish & chips was inedible. The first attempt was burnt beyond recognition. The second attempt was boxed, previously frozen fish patties that were under-cooked. The only thing edible on the plate was the "chips." The steak sandwich consisted of a slab of flank steak that could have replaced the sole of a shoe. Flank is the wrong cut unless it is sliced, thinly, cross-grain. It was also poorly seasoned and bland. We ordered a crispy chicken sandwich that wasn't crispy, it was grilled. This entre' and the fries were the only acceptable dishes served. We asked if the crab cakes were made with lump crab. Our server checked with the cook and informed us it was imitation crab (pollock). I spoke with the manager to let her know about the experience. "You can't fix it if you don't know what is wrong." I was offered a complimentary meal on our next visit. I told the manager that wasn't necessary as we are just visiting the area. I waited a while for the check while my companions went to get our car. The server finally delivered the check and the two inedible dishes were deleted from the bill. I paid and tipped our lovely server more than than the total check would been. It wasn't her fault.
