Service was very good and the special was well explained. We started with drinks which they do charge extra for refills, however the watermelon flavored drink was refreshing. Our appetizer the calamari and asparagus was excellent, even the batter it was fried in was seasoned, and went perfectly with the lemon aioli, the homemade marinara was good also. The entree's ginger glazed salmon was exceptionally delicious, perfectly cooked and the seasoning enhanced the flavor. The star of the dinner was the Trout, which was a delicious Whole butterflied and topped with lump crab and shrimp, every savory bite melted in our mouths.

I went with…read morethe catfish po'boy with fries, and since it was happy hour, I grabbed the small box which came with seafood fried rice and five large peeled shrimp for $7. The setup is pretty standard for this kind of spot. You order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. The service was quick and the staff was friendly, so no complaints there. The food definitely packed some flavor and spice. The catfish po'boy was solid, with a good balance of crunch and tenderness. The fries were crispy and a good complement to the sandwich. The seafood fried rice was flavorful, and the shrimp were nice and large, cooked just right. Overall, it was a good meal. Nothing mind-blowing, but it definitely hit the spot. I'd come back for the catfish po'boy and maybe try something else off the menu next time.

I have lived here a long time and I never saw this area behind the other business. It is a casual, laid back grill and sports bar. They offer Karaoke and a DJ. Tons of TV's for sports.

So if you find yourself in the Champions area of Houston and want a good hangout place to catch a game or just have a gathering , check them out. Don't be detoured that they do not have a flashy sign or the place seems a little out of the way. Just give them a try and see what ya think.

Recent inspection: August 14, 2009 (from http://houston.everyblock.com/food-inspections/by-date/2009/8/14/276787/): "Raw / prepared food removed from original containers / packages: being stored in unclean containers / being stored in uncovered containers." But, it's Mexican Independence Day, so I must do my duty and eat Mexican food. Chips y Salsa: Average. Red salsa only (thin, watery) Enchiladas Verde (chicken): OK tasting, but there is a much better choice down the street for this dish. Served 3 filled with sufficient chicken, mostly dark meat from drumsticks and thighs. Rice & refried beans: Typical & average. Rice was fluffy, non-stick kind. Service: After food is delivered, it's not so good for a mostly-empty restaurant at lunch. Some interesting menu items intrigue me, so I might try the relleno next time (assuming they cleaned the food containers and I don't get sick).
