    We decided to give this spot a try. We went for Sunday lunch and plenty of parking. We walked in and were immediately greeted with options for seating. Everyone was extra nice. The menu has lots of options. We got chicken fried chicken and fish. We ordered and it came out 8 mins later. The food was hot too. The taste was pretty mid. The Mac and green beans needed the most help. Im glad we finally tried it. Its of of those one and done for us.

    My ribeye dinner was delicious. The fried okra was nicely seasoned and not oily. It's a meal I would order again. Unfortunately hubby wasn't a fan of the chicken fried chicken, the breading wouldn't stay on the chicken and was slippery. It's a cozy restaurant that serves home cooked meals. Tables are kind of packed too close so it's a manner of maneuvering thru them to get to your table. Limited parking in the front but more space in the back. The place has an old feel to it and could use a remodel but I would recommend it for home cooked meals.

    We enjoyed chicken fried everything. The chicken fried steak was very good, nice crust and the meat was tasty with just the right amount of chew (slight). I got white gravy on the side. My wife enjoyed her chicken fried chicken. Both meals came with two very good sides, the last page of the extensive menu has a list of stellar sides. My wife went with and shared fried green tomatos and mashed taters, she got both white and brown gravy on the side per Clare's recommendations. I got the fried okra and fried onion rings, both amazing. Sides like these require an upcharge...not here! We ate half and brought the other half home. Great food and service.

    If you're craving a a true country southern comfort meal, look no further. I can't believe we have lived in Katy for 5 years and just found this GEM. The chicken fried steak is MASSIVE ( 2 can definitely share), the steak was SO buttery soft and was packed with flavors, while the apple crisp (apple cobbler) was homemade, nice and warm! OMG, and the FRIED GREEN TOMATOES?? You have NO idea how happy I am to FINALLY find a place that makes good fried green tomatoes. This completely made my entire week!!! Inside has tons of seating while the outdoor area has seating, a playground as well as live music on Friday & Saturday nights. I can't wait for fall so we can return for the live music outdoors (was a bit hot for us still). The girl that took our order never returned and we never had the same waiter which made it a bit confusing when we needed something. Otherwise that we had a great experience and can't wait to come back. 100% recommend trying this place out in old Katy!

    Came into town to see Grand babies. From Vegas so was a little skeptical about the 3.7 on Yelp. This place flat out rocks. Every thing was fantastic. Kids meals came out fist and fast which blew me away as this never happens. We will be back most definitely. Don't sleep on this place. Great service, food.

    I always see this place packed passing it on the road. I was craving a burger and I figured this place would have a good one since it's always packed. Parking lot was basically full, luckily to find one in the back. It was still fairly busy during a late lunch on a Sunday. A table opened up so we didn't wait. It was kind of stuffy in there, not a lot of air flow. Our waitress and service were great! On to the food: Burger was just ok. It wasn't bad...but it also was nothing to "wow" about. I still don't know why this place is always packed, maybe I ordered the wrong thing.

    My fiancé and I recently moved out to Katy from downtown. We wanted to have a bit more peace and a slower pace of life. Boy, did we hit the jackpot finding this week 2 in Katy! We went with his parents as they were visiting, and were able to get a seat immediately on a Friday night! They had live music going and the gentleman singing was wonderful. The vibe of the place is exactly what we wanted, no frills, authentic. You go for the food, and this place DELIVERS. My fiancé and his father got the Chicken Fried Steak and absolutely loved it! We loved this place so much, we have been back twice since this first visit and we've only been in Katy a month. I have tried the quesadilla and the BLT and both were to die for. Every single time we eat here, we leave happy and full. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. Do not skip dessert because they have so many delicious options. 10/10 highly recommend

    Texas tradition is a must hit. The service is out of this world, they're super friendly and accommodating. The food is delicious. The Philly cheesesteak was enormous. My wife's salad was huge and fresh. And it has that down home country feel inside.

    What a great dining experience! This was my first time here. I was heading into heavy rush-hour…read moretraffic, so I decided to avoid it and stop to have a good meal before heading home. This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

    Our experience was disappointing due to the way we were approached by the manager. We had simply…read moremoved a table in bar area and instead of politely explaining the situation, the manager came over and told us we couldn't because the table cost $5,000. While we completely understand wanting to protect expensive furniture, the tone and delivery came across as rude and made our entire table feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. On the other hand, I want to recognize our waiter, who was excellent throughout the meal. Raymond was attentive, friendly, and did his best to make us feel comfortable again after the interaction with the manager. His professionalism and kindness were the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food also fell short of expectations. In particular, I would not recommend the mussels. The flavor was unpleasant and left a very bad aftertaste, making them one of the least enjoyable dishes we ordered. Good customer service isn't just about enforcing rules--it's about how those rules are communicated. Unfortunately, the manager's approach, combined with the disappointing food, overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.

    Genuinely a great option. Service above par. Food was delicious…read more The bread was so soft and paired with a chimichurri and a pecan butter. The chimichurri had a kick to it from time to time, but I still ate it because it was really good with the slight sourness I like! The guacamole chicharron was so crispy and flavorful! I would come back just for that. We also ordered from the restaurant week menu. I got the Flora di Zucca which is zucchini blossoms. I genuinely thought it would be pieces of zucchini cut into shapes of flowers, but it was the actual flower! It was yummy! When I seemed confused, they let me try their regular zucchini too! I got the soup of the day which was a creamy mushroom soup and upgraded the sirloin to the filet. Both were worth getting. The filet was a little more cooked than I liked, but still pink in the middle, seasoned well, and tender. Their mashed potatoes honestly might be the best I've ever had at a restaurant. They gave me a sauce to go with the meal that they couldn't exactly describe. I can't exactly describe either. It was good though. I feel like it was similar to stroganoff gravy, savory and sour and a hint of something else. I upgraded one of the sides to the strawberry mozzarella salad, but I did not care for the vinaigrette that came with it. The pistachio cake was not what I was expecting. It was ok, but didn't really taste like pistachio aside from the pistachio crumble on top and was slightly dry. For just the chicharron and the mashed potatoes, I'd come here again. But pretty much everything we ate was solid and worth trying.

    Another pleasant surprise in what I'm going to arbitrarily designate as a brunch fusion menu…read more Firstly, it's a very nice layout. Tables are well spaced plenty of room eight crisp environment really just a very comfortable ambience. The services superlative from the moment you walk in in which you are immediately accommodated to the server who takes an order and then the servers who serve the food which is not necessarily one in the same. It's simply a very efficient service system and very pleasant if you're a customer. You get warm food. In my case I had hollandaise with Salman underlying it, which was very good. The eggs were cooked perfectly the hollandaise not by any means obnoxious but a very deliberate Irving and a wonderful salad, which both underlines the egg and is served as a side with the eggs, which were perfectly poached. In so far as the buzz is concerned, there are wines and beer available and really quite an extensive menu in both. I enjoyed a beer with mine, which I know it sounds like an odd combination, but it worked quite well for me. Really this is a wonderful addition to Katy options for breakfast or brunch.

They serve brunch on Saturday and Sunday until 330. The brunch menu is huge. It is not a super large menu, which I feel very endearing. We decided to try the bagel and lox with cream cheese, the Buzz burger with fries, and their homemade chips. They start off by bringing you this beautiful craft of bottled water. That to me was an amazing bonus. We also ordered two sodas which came in a can. I sort of wish it was a more of a fountain drink than one can of soda for the price. *Now service was super slow. However, the waitress did come and tell us that they are running a little behind and she apologized for it and she was super sweet, so that made up for the weight. How do I known how long it was going to take, I don't know if I would've stayed, but in the end, the food was amazing. The burger was cooked to perfection. My boyfriend is a hamburger snob and he kept saying how good it was how fresh it was and how perfectly cooked it was. They serve you shoestring fries that feel like they're double fried and they were phenomenal. My bagel was toasted perfectly and had a very good amount of cream cheese and lox. As a Jewish girl living in the area that I do, it's very hard to find good bagels with lox and cream cheese. I will most definitely be back for this sooner than later. The homemade chips took quite a while to come out, and at one point I was ready to say we don't need it, but these potato chips beat Buccees beaver chips, 100%. They were super fresh and very crunchy and tasted amazing. I will definitely recommend those to anybody that orders some. My boyfriend then ordered a tropical sunrise smoothie and it was so tasty and tasted like a strawberry banana smoothie. Now once again that did take a long time to come out and at one point, we were wishing we had not ordered it but once we did get it, it was really good and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is not very large and it's the perfect brunch spot for anybody looking for a smaller Cafe with very good choices.

In addition to the regular menu, they gave a chef appetizer of Rockefeller Oyster. Nice touch. One comment though, when it was served, they put mine on top of the bread plate which I thought was odd. Oyster itself was very flavorful. For starters, we had the Jumbo Peri Peri shrimp and Jollof's Fire Bomb. The shrimps were just regular shrimps and was chewy. The Fire Bomb was tasty with brisket meat inside. We order the ribeye and fried red snapper for our mains. Suya Ribeye was very flavorful from the African spices. The jollof rice was delicious. My first time trying it. Kinda crispy and has a kick. Fried Fred snapper was well executed. My wife loved it. It was unfortunate that the restaurant was so dark that you can't really see your food to appreciate the effort that was put into it. It was a nice gesture that Chef Casey came out to talk to his customers. For desserts, we had the crème brûlée and banana fosters. Banana fosters was a big scoop of ice cream with couple slices of banana which was a bit disappointing. In comparison to other HrW restaurants, you can get more bang for the buck at other places. We would go back for the mains but skip the appetizers and desserts.
