We decided to give this place a try and I'm glad we did. The draw was the variety of the menu, the live music and the welcoming from The staff. We decided to try some of the appetizers. We ordered some pretzel sticks and fries. We also tried their icees and sodas. The icees were so good and refreshing. The sodas were huge and tasted amazing. Sorry but it your drinks aren't good, it's a total buzz kill for us, hahah. The everything came out to our table quickly and hot. Nothing worse than cold fries. The pretzels were a good size and super fresh. The fries were hot and so good. We left not a piece or scrap. The staff were so kind and friendly. They offered us refills on everything and made the experience wonderful. We loved the live music and the restaurant was super cute with their decorations. I highly recommend stopping in for a refreshing drink and meal. We really enjoyed this stop and will come back again real soon. read more

The Loose Caboose - Locomotive guacamole burger - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Meh Tourist Trap. Nachos rival whatever you've had at a high school football game. But you got 'em fast! Service is good, I guess, never saw them during the 10 minutes it took to find a sign "Please order Inside." Ambience is wonderful. Suggest BYOB, and a picnic. I'd be astonished if anyone working here noticed you're not ordering anything. read more

The Loose Caboose - The best Crawfish you'll find. I'm old and have been eating crawfish for 60+. Years and I will tell ya dat they are good Pooyie - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

I saw this place had gumbo and decided one bowl couldn't hurt. One thing about the interior is that there is a lot and I mean a lot of decor inside. If you are person who gets overstimulated, you may want to choose to eat your meal outside on the patio benches which are covered and nice to sit at when the weather is good. I just ordered the gumbo to eat there. They told me it would be spicy-I tasted just a slight amount when I finished the bowl. The one thing I wish they would have said when they brought it out was that it was piping hot. I did a precursory blow but that wasn't enough and I actually burned my tongue on the first spoonful. The gumbo rue wasn't as thick as I would have liked and like I said it wasn't spicy or had any other distinguishing flavors. All in all I'd return to try something else on the menu in case they have another dish that they feel is their speciality. read more

While shopping in old town Spring, we stopped into the Loose Caboose for a refreshing beer on a rather warm day. What a great place to sit and have a drink or try out some of their delicious looking BBQ, burgers and potatoes. The drinks were cold and a great price and we sat inside and enjoyed the eclectic decorations that adorned the dining area. The service was great and we all want return so we can actually try out their delicious looking selection of BBQ. read more

All things fried! AND the staff is absolutely amazing! Would definitely recommend to anyone around.

The train that could brought on the most delicious and juiciest hamburger! Did you see the size of that burger in my photos? I almost said I ordered a single, not a double. But I got all the toppings: the crispy bacon, gooey cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and onions. One bite and the cheese would stretch with the mushrooms, bacon, and onion, holding on for dear life from your mouth to the burger as you pulled away. I had no shame eating this burger in public; a little here and there was dropping, but I just swooped it up and kept eating. Y'all, it was really a massive burger!! Now, for my side, I added the Cajun fries, and many times, I say Cajun, but regular fries magically appear. Well, not here; this was really the first time that seasoning Cajun fries appeared, and they were crispy with a nice crunch! Not a hard french fry at all, one with a nice texture and crunch. I enjoyed myself here, talking to a guy, I think, who was part of the team at Loose Caboose. He was military and shared some history with me, and the guy out front was playing some nice guitar. But I had to move on a little early. A big family came in, and I offered to give them my table so they could sit together and enjoy the place as much as I did. I'll be back soon! read more

The Loose Caboose - 3lbs of crawfish!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Service sucks!! I went there and ordered 5lbs of extra spicy crawfish to go. I waited 30 minutes and got medium spiced crawfish.

Best food in Old Town Spring, great service, great atmosphere and you can't go wrong with the Saturday crawfish boil.

We decided to try this place out after doing a quick google search.. we decided to give it a shot... pretty disappointed with the customer service at this establishment... which I would ignore if the food was exceptional.. but this place just wasn't it.. We weren't greeted, you order at the front even if you are dining in.. which is fine if you explain to your customers upon arrival to your restaurant. That didn't happen.. wasn't hard to figure out but as we put in our order the cashier lady was just plain rude. She barely said four words.. "what else?" And "Any drinks?" There weren't very many people out today which was nice.. but even more reason to be kind and courteous to your customers.. When we got our food she realized there was a ketchup missing and before I could ask for an extra plate to feed my son.. she had already left.. when I politely asked for an extra basket.. she left without a word... I thanked her and she just walked away. Just not friendly at all. Mind you the kitchen was maybe 7 steps away from our table.. Anyways now for the food... We tried the pretzels.. they were okay but fried? Not described on the menu. I had a grilled chicken loaded potato and it didn't look appealing, but I was hungry. My daughter said the chicken nuggets were good.. they are a decent size.. my Oldest also had the pulled pork fries with cheese.. the meat was very dry.. For the price of the food and terrible customer service...was not worth it at all... I won't be back.. and I don't know how they are in business if they treat everyone as rude. Didn't take a picture of anything because it wasn't picture worthy. If you're reading this and thinking you should try it out... Don't... a waste of time and money. read more

After a long hike and paddle boarding that morning, we were wanting some food, really any food. We wandered into Old Town Spring on our way home, and spotted The Loose Caboose. Parking is a bity tricky, but there is a grassy yard where it's okay to park and not get towed. Just read the signs carefully. We both opted for messy homemade burgers and fries with a soft drink. Between us we had the Butt-Burner Burger and the Locomotive Guac-Burger. The Butt-Burner Burger had a 1/2 pound of beef with pepper jack cheese, grilled onions, jalapenos, and barbecue sauce with a jalapeno bun was what my husband opted for. I can't handle that kind of spice, so I opted for the Locomotive Guac-Burger, which also had a 1/2 pound of meat with guacamole, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a regular bun. I omitted the onions and bacon. They were quick in the service, but while we waited in an unpretentious setting, we enjoyed the live music in Old Town Spring. We sat outside near giant fans, and there was even a sink with soap and paper towels to ensure your hands were clean before you ate. It wasn't crowded, but people were consistently coming and taking a seat. It was a popular place and glad we found it! Great place to throw on a feed-bag. read more

The Loose Caboose - Outdoor space - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

First off, they are dog friendly which is huge when you have a puppy you are working on socializing. They have water bowls for their 4-legged visitors. I had the KC dog which is basically an amazing Ruben on a hot dog - Loved it. We also tried the fries, cheese sticks and my husband got a really meaty sandwich (sorry don't remember which), all were very good! Prices are very reasonable even if you have a few beers. Location is perfect, close to everything, tons of people watching. Service is fast and friendly. Might be our new Sunday Funday hangout! read more

Didn't try the food, but the beer prices are unbelievably good, $4.75 for a draft beer: amazing! Waitress was super nice, patrons are friendly, you're near a bunch of music and antique shops.

The Loose Caboose - Patio with live music - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Among the fun shops and restaurants in Old Town Spring, The Loose Caboose is definitely one of my favorites. Beyond the great name, this place is extremely well run and the atmosphere is incredible. The restaurant's popularity is not surprising. The live music (recently Duaine Hatfield) is impressive and the menu items include fun county fair foods such as funnel cake, deep fried Oreos, Cheesecake and more. Beyond the deep-fried madness, they serve good BBQ and a long list of corn dogs (more tasty fried stuff). I'll try their brisket nachos on my next visit. In addition to everything else, the drink list is also noteworthy. They pour my favorite and hard-to-find local beer (ZiegenBock Amber) on draft and I can't get enough. Five stars. read more

We came on a Saturday and they had live music that definitely set the vibe; great atmosphere. We got the hot mess burger which I loved and the Caboose burger. The fries were soo fresh and crunchy but a bit pricey. The have both indoor and outdoor seating, and live music outside. However, they don't serve you, get in line inside and pay for your food and they bring it to your table. Def check this place out read more

The Loose Caboose - Live Music and cold Beer - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

This is a staple in Old Town Spring and they've been here many years. It's great for grabbing a few beers, having some all American food and enjoying the outdoor area. I had the Caboose Burger with mayo, LTC. The patty was an inch thick in the center and could have used a little more seasoning but had a good grill flavor.The main recommendation I would make is to get an extra slice of cheese since the patty is large. I liked that the fresh bun was toasted. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant is awesome and the food is great. Prices are reasonable, maybe cheap for nowadays. The burgers and fries seem like real fresh made food and not over processed. I was really surprised with how much I liked it here and will definitely return. read more

The Loose Caboose - Butt burner burger & The Hot Mess Burger Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Ordered the brisket burger. It was a lot of meat for $18.95 though the price was high. You mostly get the outdoor backyard bbq vibe and it's in the middle of a lot of shops. It is good for kids and the service is very attentive. What I noticed was they do crawfish fresh in buckets daily so I'd probably recommend it more for that. read more

The Loose Caboose - 1lb Crawfish add Potato & Corn. Not spicy at all, but nice size w/ a Swirl wine based Margarita! - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

Nestled in Old Town Spring (a collection of restaurants and shops) this joint boasts a nice covered patio with live music. The music was a little loud though so we sat inside. Once you enter to the right ahead you will find the counter where you order and pay in advance. Once you order you receive a number to which they will bring your order when ready. The menu really just seems like a lot of fast food - in true fast food fashion I ordered one of the 'train wreck snacks.' 6 Mozzarella Sticks - $5.95 I was tempte dby the sampler platters but didn't feel like spending 13-14 bucks on a bunch of fried things. They were ... fine - possibly a little underseasoned. Not really the best mozzarella sticks I've tried but it's hard no mess up mozzarella sticks. Personally I prefer the ones with pizza dough crust. I'm not sure how they made it underseasoned since cheese is usually very salty. There are also strawberry and regular margaritas (made with wine) for sale. The alcohol tasted cheap and gasoline-like but they were strong. They have an array of board games in varying degrees of wholeness. We found some checkers with a knitted board that was reasonably fun to play. Not particularly clean, not particularly exceptionally nice or delicious. Just average. read more

The Loose Caboose - Fried Oreos - Barbeque Near Me - Spring, Texas

The best burgers I have had in a long time. Homemade jalapeño poppers with crab filling were the best I have ever had had.

Walked in on a beautiful Sunday to grab a drink. My husband asked if they had corn dogs, the cashier said yes so he asked me,"Do you want a corn dog,?" I say yes and a diet coke and a lemonade for you, she hears us and says ok so 2 corn dogs, I say no just 1, she says with an attitude well yall are both saying corndog. Rude AF. Then a young guy brings me my corndog and tells me to swap out the to go packet of mustard instead of using the mustard on the table so that I don't take their basket that the food came in. I said why would I take your basket it's a corn dog on a stick. These people had an attitude and were rude. Treat your customers better. read more

Service: it's a walk-in and order then find and seat and they find you type deal. The lady working the register wasn't the most excited person I had ever met but she was nice because my daughter was taking forever to decide what she wanted. She also made recommendations and they were good. Food: the food was great! We (group of 7) tried a bunch of different stuff and nobody was disappointed. I got a potato with bbq meat in it and it was amazing! My daughter got the frito pie and she loved it. Then we tried damn near all the fried desserts and they were so yummy! I didn't not get to try the apple pie because my daughter ate it all before I got to try it. Needless to say it must have been good anyway! Loved the food and the atmosphere we will for sure go back. read more

I get that's it's busy today but 45 minutes for a burger and chicken strips and when food arrives fries taste cold still? Chicken strips were harder than a rock. Finally anyone can tell a handmade Patty over a frozen one. When I asked to take it back I didn't realize it was going to be an ordeal so I just cut my losses and moved on. Won't be back to this place. What a bummer cause it's a nice little set up here too. I counted 3 employees not wearing masks as well. read more

Great food but terrible service. Came in the middle of the day when they were slow. Set outside and when food was delivered we had asked for ketchup, mustard and silverware the person who delivered our food rolled her eyes and walked away.
