Great place to come and hangout with friends. They have an indoor area, bar area and patio area to sit. Food is typical bar food but it's good! They do have specials and other deals which is nice. Their tots were delicious!! read more

This was my first time visiting the new location. I absolutely love the spacious patio and outside bar. We were greeted as we walked in by the host that was friendly and courteous. He allowed us to choose our preference for seating. We waited a bit for someone to come to take our order and finally asked if the host could send over a server. A young man approached and we asked if he was our server. He responded "no I was sent over to take your drink order". The entire exchange was a little uncomfortable, but we brushed it off. Another table was seated next to us and a very bubbly server came out, greeted them, and quickly took their order. A few moments later, our server Mia arrived, apologized for the delay and proceeded to the provide excellent customer service for the duration of our visit. She was polite, courteous, efficient, and a very sweet young lady. She more than made up for the rocky start to our visit. I ordered the "what she's having" and it was as delicious as I remembered. Light and refreshing. I chose the pulled pork sliders with the honey mustard slaw, and added a side of barbecue sauce. I opted for the sautéed green beans instead of fries or chips because they are always delicious and full of fresh garlic and just the right amount of sea salt and fresh pepper. They mentioned they had a live band that night and I made a note to come back another time to enjoy some great music on the patio. Overall, a great place with good food. read more

Scholars and Scoundrels - Pulled Pork Sliders and sautéed green bean. - Seafood Near Me - Katy, Texas

Cool place. Very modern feel but still with a sports bar kind of vibe. Very friendly staff. Didn't have the opportunity to order food. Went in looking for a specific football game but they only had the local games. They thought they had them all though and even got additional staff to try to change the channel. read more

First time here at 1130AM or so to beat the crowd and try it out. Nestled right by Katy Mills mall and was very impressed. So many things to write but come in and enjoy if passing by or leaving wife and kids at mall. Just say you are going to the bathroom and got lost while they shop. Sophie was very professional and automatically made me feel at home like we knew each other for years. I ordered the little hack sliders. Let me say great job. Tasted like a big mac with a mini burger that was not dry and was incredible. The bun was semi sweet and worked well with everything. Tony is the owner and another manager was there who also jumped in with making me feel at home. Very attentive to all clients and super friendly. Food was spot on. The tator tots were great as well, not too big but perfect size. One thing, maybe fry them for 29-30 seconds less as some were stuck together and were very lightly overcooked. Also, no big deal but had to ask for salt and pepper...maybe I got here to early, not sure but no biggy. They have incredible specials throughout the week and a very inviting comfortable place for business meetings, by yourself, family and friends as well as large groups. Old and young all will like this place. Felt like family. read more

1 star for the food & great drink prices. Losing the other 4 because the bartenders can be extremely prejudiced here. There's 1 who is the worst (old in the face, short stringy bob) I don't know her name but I faithfully came here for 2 months and she ruined the experience enough times for me to stop. I waited a month or 2 and tried to come back .. maybe I was rolling off of my previous bad experience but the service started off terrible once again. I had to track down the nice guy I met when the mean bartender lady wouldn't serve me to get the new bartenders attention. She seemed to notice everyone else fairly quickly. I explained my previous situation to her and she apologized, I won't hold it against her, thank you for making me feel welcome Cassie! But hey .. side note .. if y'all don't like colored folks in your establishment just put a sign up and I promise I'll stop coming. read more

The new location is much larger. We went there for a comedy night on a Saturday night. They have different types of free entertainment on Saturday nights. Check their Facebook to see the schedule. They have a pretty good selection of food and burgers. Definitely much better than bar food but nothing noteworthy. But it is nice not to have to eat before you get there. The servers were fast and friendly. I am looking forward to going back for their dueling pianos night. The music is just a little loud to have a conversation at your table. read more

The food and the staff are amazing. I had their steak one night and it was delicious. The place is way more spacious than the other location. It also had outside seating but it was as too cold. Anyways the beers were cold and my whiskey drinks were good to go! Friendly bartenders and they pour outstanding drinks! It's one of my go to spots in the Katy area. read more

Awesome food, great service and has a great atmosphere. I had the "fire in the hole" burger without the bun and grilled green beans. Food was amazing. read more

I came here to pickup some takeout after a late meeting. Their pulled pork sliders are excellent and their French fries are excellent. However I did not like their cheeseburgers. The staff on duty was very attentive and friendly and it seems like a cool place to hang out with a fairly chill vibe read more

Let me start by saying Scholars and Scoundrels is a must do for good food and some drinks. The service was impeccable. Our waiter Matt, did the best job at making sure we were seated quickly and that our table was always tended to. Matt even brought over little games and coloring books for my child which he informed he bought himself for the customers. That to me is amazing! The food was awesome and the beers were cold. The queso and salsa is a must try and my lady loved the birria tacos! The setting is more like a bar and grill which gives the feel of a very relaxed family outing. I loved my experience and will go again whenever possible! Highly recommend. read more

Came here on Saturday afternoon for lunch with the family. It was DEAD. Should have clued us in... service was super slow, we actually had to ask the waitress to come take our order. Food quality varied: wings and tacos were fine, the steak and potatoes salad was basically inedible. Steak tasted old/bad, potatoes weren't cooked all the way thru, and the greens were slimy. I'm not sure if it's under new management since moving from its previous location, but it used to be good. But after that experience, I will not go back. read more

We LOVED the old s&s! This place killed off the best things about it: - service isn't just bad, it's completely nonexistent. If they aren't bringing food or a check, don't expect them to be visible AT ALL. And abrupt at best. - The volume is INSANE. - Bait & switch on steak night is a real thing. Website gives one set of prices, menu another. When brought to the servers attention, she shrugged. - Cocktails were always AMAZING at the old location, these were just awful watered down, flavorless drinks. The burger and fries were still good. The steaks were cold, fat, not rendered, heavily charred, and served cold. When I told the server that my plate was cold, my steak was cold, and even my potatoes were cold, she sort of laughed. When it came back from the kitchen, it was slammed on the table in front of me and nothing was fixed. The garlic butter was flavorless as were the steaks. The sides were laughable. We paid $10 for a brussels sprout and pork belly appetizer. There were less than eight brussels sprouts in the entire order, it looked like a soup, and the pork belly was so hammered itwas inedible. We're hungry here. Please, for the love of all things holy Do Not order the garlic butter potatoes gratin. I have no words to explain how awful that dish was. I am highly disappointed, and we will not be returning again. All of the things that Made this restaurant such a hit with us in the past simply don't exist anymore. Horrible service. Horrible food. Horrible drinks. read more

This place is legit. The food is good and they wouldn't let me drive intoxicated. 5 stars

This was a 3rd try for us which is more than I usually do. The first two the heavy greasy food always sat funny. I was a sucker for what was supposed to be an event for Star Wars day. I looked everywhere for the brunch menu online to look ahead of a picture on Facebook and could not find it. We arrived at it was fairly empty. They were playing Star Wars music, I never saw a DJ. There were some tattoos on the table - and as we were finally leaving someone started a trivia game. But it was quiet otherwise with any signs of Star Wars fun. Drink was good. Looking over the brunch menu there were two avocado toasts. One listed chicken and the other one did not. First - who puts chicken and eggs in the same dish? I ordered the one that did not list chicken and asked if it had bacon and paid extra for bacon on the side. Then it came out with chicken. The staff did not seem very familiar with the menu. Bread was just regular wheat sandwich loaf bread and nothing special. The bacon made it taste much better. There are no sides that come with it either. It was our anniversary brunch and I should have gone with something I knew would be good instead of what sounded like a fun May the Fourth be with you event. read more

Very strange place. The menu doesn't have prices. They don't have romaine lettuce. The sides are sold separately. The staff isn't very friendly or attentive. It's like they only pay attention to the people they know. It wasn't busy, but I can see why. read more

We came to scoundrels for steak night for $17.99 (it says all day). I even told my friends and that's why they came. I checked the website the day of. I get there with my team. They show us the steak night menu which was different than on the website. They told us we couldn't have steak until after 5 even though the current menu they gave us said 11-9:30. We were told they would honor the $17.99 and that we could order the steaks before 5. The food was okay and our server was nice. When it came to get the check. The price was not $17.99. It was $10 more. We asked to talk to the manager and the person that said he was the owner, told us he would not honor the $17.99 because he gave us the menu. We told him that the lady that works here told us she was told they would honor it. The owner would not budge and was quite rude. I've gone to scholars and scoundrels several times and never had a bad experience. I unfortunately will never come back. read more

Scholars and Scoundrels - Website that shows steak night is $17.99 all day. - Seafood Near Me - Katy, Texas

Went here on 12/12/2025 with a party of 6. 4 adults and 2 children. Not crowded at all, only 2 other tables with customers and a couple people at the bar. Service was terrible and the food was even worse. Just about inedible. They had the manager in the back cooking and the waiter said he was trying to train them. None of us ate much of anything, it was disgusting. Took about an hour to get the food and they were basic orders. Burgers, wedge salad. I've never complained at a restaurant or have written a review but wanted to make sure people avoid this place. read more

Went on a Sunday. Was by myself and sat at the bar. I was the only non regular and felt like I was treated as such. I probably stayed when I shouldn't have. Never was offered a food menu, but instead asked for after sitting there for what felt like a very long time. Food was decent but I don't feel like $9 for two slices of French toast was probably worth it. I used to love this place when it was in its old location. Maybe it was an off day.....but it's definitely going to be a while before I want to give it another shot. read more

Do not waste your time and money. I ordered the Red, White and Blue. The meat was not seasoned, over cooked and there was no blue cheese. The fries were good. The music was very loud and more appropriate for a night club. I miss the old Scholars and Scoundrels. read more

terrible service and brad was annoying and burnt food and soup sucks Tell Brad run my fade read more

This place is awesome! I'm a veteran and not only do I get a discount the food is extraordinary! Service is always top notch!

Recommend the Walk of Shame. Best chicken sandwich I've had. Better than the Lord's chicken! Fries were good & even their ketchup. Kids actually ate their food. My husband's burger was giant & he said good. Do yourself a favor & get the queso WITH meat. Loved the baked tortilla chips. Definitely would go again. read more

Service is normally not bad, and the food is hit or miss at best.. When it's on point, is delicious, but when it isn't... it's really bad. They just need some consistency. read more

I guess I am not surprised by the three star rating this place has. I went for steak night recently and ordered the ribeye steak. Basically the steak had no fat marbled into it so my assumption is it was not a ribeye. It was a sirloin I guess they think their customers are just stupid enough not to know. With my mistake, I ordered a Caesar salad. Turns out it was field greens with Caesar dressing on it so, that is a fail. The atmosphere was fun because they had a DJ doing some events that night, but it was not crazy busy and the service was slow overall . Perhaps the guy was new or something we ended up tapping out early because he said we were his last table. I would have tipped him way more money and he just stuck with it. Probably will not visit again. read more

Paid for 10lbs of crawfish when I got home I only got 6 . Tried reaching out to them , they've just ignored my messages . Terrible customer service , besides the fact that the crawfish are old and mushy . read more

I love the food, and the service is great but they play the music way too loud! It's a family restaurant and it would be nice to have a conversation with the people at the table. Please reconsider your music volume during dinner and lunch. Maybe it would be appropriate later at night? read more

I was at this establishment around closing hours and i have nothing but good things to say. They were always aware of my priorities and preferences, not to mention great food and drinks. I'm so happy this location opened this close to me. Wonderful bartenders! read more

Don't go here to watch sports. Even though they have a ton of tvs they refuse to turn the loud music down to watch any games. It was so sad to see a bunch of tables streaming the game on their phones just to listen to Thursday night football game because the owner refused to turn music off. As far as food goes We have only been here twice for steak night and both times both our steaks were over cooked. Will not be back to this location read more

I've been to this place numerous times and I've always liked liked this place. The food is top notch and the service is even better. It's definitely a fun place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend this place. read more

Great food and fantastic service! Prices are really good too this restaurant will become a regular dining spot!

Easily the worst service i've had in 30 years and i'm only 28 years old. Nothing like waiting 45 mins for a water and going on 1 hour for a beer. Promote crawfish and Texans Game-day and don't deliver. The manager reminds me of David Carr the way he runs this team. Just hoping for Matt Schaub. C read more

We visited early Friday evening. The restaurant wasn't busy. It took a long time for our waiter to take our drink order. It took even longer for him to take our food order. And it took even longer to get food. Or at least we thought we were going to get food. A waitress (not ours) walked by and asked how we were doing. We told her we were waiting on our food. We had been waiting at least 20 minutes. About 15 minutes later, our waiter came out and asked us if we gave him our order, because it wasn't in the system. We waited for over 30 minutes just to find out he forgot to put it in the system. He didn't even apologize. I feel like my one star rating was quite generous. read more

Very good comfort food and the Crack Mac & Cheese was excellent. The location does take some looking for.

Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was good. Burger and fries were great. Really enjoyed sitting in the porch and enjoying the breeze.

Have to agree with Angie T. My wife and I really enjoyed the food and great service...but that crazy loud music

The old location has always been our go to place after high school football games. First time in the new location. The food was still great. Had the Declaration Burger with tater tots. Our server (unfortunately did not get his name) was awesome. However, we probably won't be back due to the noise level. When we walked in we could tell the DJ was way too loud so opted to sit outside. Not much better. The music out there was also loud and we couldn't even hold a conversation. Plus it was one rap song after another and not everyone likes that kid of music. They need to turn down the volume or will run a lot of customers off. read more
