    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!

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

    Came in today and had Caleb as our sever and he was amazing did an excellent job vary kind we also had the crawfish and that was very good as well will be coming back

    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.

    Lovely place. Really nice bartenders. Delicious boudin eggrolls. String drinks glad we made a stop!

    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.

It was nice to have such a good waitress who takes her job seriously, we have seen such a decline in service industry of late. The restaurant its self was clean and spacious. We will go back!

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!

TRUST. although..... I feel like it should've completely filled the glass like it does in the advertisement $9.99 a piece! 100/10 Appetizer: fried pickles spears - YALL. 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!

It's turned down so quiet you can't hear it. Basically, if you hate your life and just want to waste time and money come here.

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.
