Great view, average food. It accomplished its purpose...I wanted a water view, and I was hungry. Pretty good service. The margarita was meh. Too sweet. The bloody Mary moonshine was spicy and good. The Alex Brisket Grilled Cheese was yummy and filling. Oysters and fried mushrooms were meh. Could've been worse, though. Next time I'd skip those and I'd also sit outside. read more

We made a reservation for a bday brunch in the picture window area. We were allowed to bring in balloons and some table decor. The lake view was really nice. Email communication was amazing! Very responsive and answered all my questions. We were promptly seated, given menus and a few mins to settle in. Waitress took everyones order and all foods came out served hot and in a timely manner. Everyone enjoyed their food and the mimosa tower was great! The waitress was friendly and they were kind enough to store our cupcakes in the refrigerator until we were ready for them. Automatic gratuity was charged because we had a large party, which we didn't mind. They also broke up the bill as specified. We never felt rushed and enjoyed a wonderful brunch. Overall my daughter and her guests had a great time. No complaints, just a great experience. I had previously came in to try the crawfish and it did not disappoint! We've never had a bad meal nor service here! Stop in if you enjoy a great brunch, mimosas with a view, and friendly service. read more

Our server was great. Good happy hour drinks and apps prices. However the crab/crawfish cake was ok... I was expecting it to be more fried on outside which is down that it wasn't ... but way to much breading. It tasted like thanksgiving stuffing... again not a bad crab cake just not the best I've had. The onion rings were so good and crunchy. The bonesless wings are small. But I'll deff be back to try some thing else on menu. read more

If your server recommends it, you get it! The service was great, but the shrimp was even better. I loved the shrimp tacos, but our wonderful server recommended to get it grilled. Great views, great seafood, and great service! We will definitely be back. read more

The decorations in here are really cute. They were definitely going for a fun theme that would look cute in photos and I think they did a great job. Plus a large patio on the water, so it definitely has atmosphere. The drinks are better than you'd expect which is a big plus. Margarita on the rocks isn't too sweet or too tart. The food is usually a hit but can be a miss. The Hot Nashville Chicken Sandwich is delicious but I wouldn't call it hot personally. Not spicy, but it has spices. I will order it again because it tastes great. The burger is decent, but has come to me personally before with not everything on it. Not a big deal because it still tasted great and the server was super nice about it and fixed it for me. Pulled pork sandwich hits the spot. Overall the service and atmosphere were great. Could use a smidge more "oomf" with the food, but it is reliable to be good each time. Rating a 5 because we will certainly be back. read more

We always enjoy Moonshiners. We are seated quickly. The servers come by shortly to take our drink order. My husband often gets the Alex Bregman brisket and grilled cheese. It's very good. I like the Kountry Kobb salad. I think it's the best on the lake. There is also a nice view of the lake. It's one of our favorite places to go! read more

The worst crawfish of my life! Flavorless and half-raw, and the potatoes tasteless. No, it's impossible to eat. read more

My husband and I wanted a casual dinner on. Sunday eve. We were promptly greeted and seated. I had the shrimp tacos and he ordered a burger. My shrimp Tacos were very good. The size of the shrimp was impressive. The panko crust was delicious. I chose to have the firecracker sauce on the side and ordered another sauce too. Only suggestion is to shred the cabbage rather than have the giant chunks. My husband said the burger was good. The fries were a bit cold and had two different kinds like they had run out? They do have a great happy hour with $5 margaritas too. Nice lake views. Good service. read more

The food and drinks were pretty good! Great views and good music. The service, however, was slow and pretty awful. I think they were just incredibly busy but our food came out cold. We ordered an ice cream/cake dessert and when the waitress dropped it off, it was just liquid ice cream and liquid whipped cream. I don't know why she dropped it off like that but like I said, awful service. read more

Food was great! Staff were friendly and attentive! Setting was relaxing, comfortable, and had wonderful views. Banana pudding- absolute yum! read more

Not a lot is similar between this moonshiners and the one downtown. The one town town that has similar menu items somehow another they are able to prepare them with a lot better flavor . The service was average, but not great for an evening that was not packed in the middle of the week. Again, the layout of the restaurant is similar, but it doesn't have the same kind of vibe as the one downtown. Overall fairly disappointing or something I was so hopeful when it opened read more

Went there tonight and was not impressed at all. Service was bad and very slow and they weren't busy. I got crawfish grilled cheese and was really bad. It took forever to get refills etc It was beautiful sitting outside though, but that's it! Don't waste your money!!! read more

The food was amazing and service was even better! I have zero complaints. We went on Sunday at 5 so I get it wasn't the busiest but there were several patrons. The waitress and servers were attentive and made sure we had enough drink, etc to keep us happy. Not to mention a great location on the water. I'll definitely be back. read more

The service was great not only with us but watched several tables the servers were always helpful. We had wings, BIG hamburger w/ fantastic onion rings, a couple of drinks, and one of the best chicken fried steaks I have ever had. Table next to us she didn't like something & over heard they would bring out a whole different order on them. Now that is taking care of your customers! The view was beautiful and nice to just watch the lake. We will be back VERY soon. The prices are WAY less than what you get anywhere else for that much food. Thank you for a wonderful Saturday on the lake. read more

This was our second visit to this cute place on the lake. First time was better; this time I made the mistake of not checking the check for accuracy. I was charged for the salad I did order, as well as the wrong salad they initially brought out to me that I told them was not what I ordered. The place was all but empty, lots of servers, so not like they were busy or anything. The restaurant has never been clean, not sure why. Maybe bc most go there to drink? Either way, I was overcharged, the food was just ok, nothing special, and.....I won't be back. Sad because I like watching the boats on the lake from this place. read more

First time ever at moonshiners atmosphere is very nice. The restaurants very clean great location great views now to the negative the pull pork tacos were really good. The burger for $15 was over salted and not very appetizing. Wasn't worth the service was poor. The waitress took seven minutes acknowledges when we got there Brought us. Our drinks took another 12 minutes for her to come over and take her order the thing that worried me though the food was out within three minutes. I don't know how you can cook a hamburger properly unless it's already pre-cooked that quickly I understand what the tacos pulled pork takes hours to make so keep that warm, but overall, I will try the place again and have the tacos read more

Ordered the burger based on a previous review. It was bland. Not even a hit of salt or pepper. The kettle chips were also lacking any seasoning. It's not bad, but it wasn't good. The husband liked his hot chicken sandwich. (which is why I gave a 4 over all) read more

Fun new place on Lake Conroe! Giving it 5 stars because it's doing a great job of being what it is - a sports bar/casual restaurant. Don't expect fancy. Boat docks, outdoor patio, restaurant area, bar area with TVs and games. Very fun atmosphere. Service was fantastic. Catherine was very attentive and engaging. She took care of everything we needed. It was clear watching other servers that they were on top of their game as well. Limited wine and cocktail menu, but we enjoyed it. Menu had a variety of choices - and the food was really good. We had tomato soup, smothered chicken, and coconut shrimp - all of which we would order again! Oh - and dessert!! Vanilla butter cake! Yummy! So sweet we needed the whipped cream to tone it down. But worth every bite! Definitely recommend you give this spot a try! read more

Wow! How things change in two months. Went tonight to finish out a good cheat weekend. Was very disappointed this go round at Moonshiners. Was looking forward to trying that Alex Bregman brisket grilled cheese. If I was Alex Bregman I would not have my name tied to that sandwich they make there. The idea is good but the brisket was half-warm total mush with no flavor. Looks like something purchased and scooped it out of a bucket. Not even sure there was any cheese on this grilled cheese. My girlfriend ordered a brisket sandwich that was supposed to be served with coleslaw added. No coleslaw and again barely warm and thesame mush. When they brought what was supposed to be coleslaw we were served this bowl of red cabbage with lord knows what dressing on it mixed with some jalapeno. Very disappointing. The fries were totally over cooked and certainly not homemade. See pictures. Nothing left to the fries. All were hollow like this. If I ever go back it will be just drinks and the nice lake view. Don't waste your money on the food! read more

Really fun atmosphere. Lots of stuff to keep you entertained. Great food trucks and cocktails.

Early on a night that started out not so busy, we lucked out and sat in the back, a casual room right on the water. The jambalaya was truly a big hit - made to order. The fish and shrimp entrees were delicious. The room did get more energetic (ie louder) as room filled up. The great service, drinks and nice dinner were more than worth a noisy room with a view. read more

Amazing food and even better service! Jacob had his hands full with our large party and didn't miss a beat. Would highly recommend The Moonshiners and make sure and ask for Jacob! read more

Food was horrible. The chips served with the dip were soggy and the Cobb salad was unflavorful!

To start off the decor is side is amazing! If you sit by the window you get a great view of the lake. Out front there is also the perfect photo op if you're a tourist or just want a cute picture to post on social media. Our server was very attentive and helpful when making an accommodation for the Bregman Grilled Cheese. The spinach and artichoke dip was AMAZING! Zero complaints from me. Will definitely go back to try their happy hour! read more

I've been putting off going here for a while because I was worried I'd be disappointed in the food (there have been quite a few restaurants here.) The atmosphere was wonderful. Emily was our waitress, she was excellent! And Ada was amazing as well!!!! The food was definitely better than anticipated!!! I recommend the Buffalo blue quesadillas, they were great. And I couldn't stop stealing the kids chicken tenders (so great.) Must try the drinks as well! read more

Katherine (Hi Kat!) was one of the best servers we've had in the greater Houston area in quite some time. Top notch, could NOT have been better - and for that alone I give 4 stars. -1 star for cocktails - the bartender CLEARLY has a sweet tooth. Do yourself a favor and ask for any sweetener (agave or simple syrup) on the side. Kat did her best, and it was appreciated. A+ Pretzel appetizer. Could go a little easier on the salt, but it was hot, fresh and delicious. The cheese dip had a lot of flavor without being too heavy which was nice. A+ Fried Mushrooms. Dang. Large, fresh, properly cleaned mushrooms not from frozen and a light crispy batter that stood up to the moisture inherent in fresh mushrooms. B - Coconut shrimp. Yes, it's coconut but there was a marked lack of salt (which isn't on the tables, you have to ask for it) and an abundance of sweetness. A squeeze of lime did wonders. Neutral/C - Blackened chicken pasta. If that's blackened, honey chile, you are from the north (which I am and I STILL blacken harder than that). Lots of garlic, etc. but the dish was on the cold and one-note side, a little 'thick' with sauce. Go visit. It's quieter outside and the lake views are amazing! read more

We visited on a Wednesday night, early April. Business was good, with big, loud groups inside and outside. The first impression is "Huge Sports Bar", as an interior wall stretching across the room features end-to-end TVs. We liked the vibe - very loud, happy, busy crowd. Not so great was our outside table, placed directly under a loud speaker. We did enjoy their playlist, but missed being able to talk to each other, or hear the servers. Service here is excellent - amazingly fast. The different young ladies that took our orders returned with drinks, apps, and entrees literally just a few minutes after ordering. Impressive! The food...not so much. Call this menu New American with a sports bar twist. The crab and crawfish cake is dense with filler, with no discernable crab bits. The fries, requested crispy, were limp and a little greasy. Better was the coconut shrimp - smallish shrimp but a great batter and dipping sauce. The pulled pork tacos were very good, and a very large serving of three for $14. Prices here are fair to high. High for Montgomery County, fair for a place on the water. Every outdoor table features an ashtray. We'll see if smokers turn the outside deck into a smokers' lounge. Signs state that lunch and brunch menus are coming soon. We'll be back to try those and hope for the same quality of service, maybe try a few different items from their menu. read more

Shrimp tacos. Pretzels and cheese. Great service. Great food. Will definitely be back!

HEB has better crawfish than here. The young wait staff is not very attentive. Great view of the lake sorry we won't be coming back.

Only reason I left 1 star is because we love the restaurant. Great location and a great menu. But they need to hear the truth. We went specifically for the boiled crawfish today and they were possibly the worst I've ever had at a restaurant and definitely the worst this year. Dry and over cooked. I didnt even finish. The service seems to be getting slower and less friendly too. Owners - fix it read more

The food is absolutely delicious and the restaurant is so relaxing but the service is horrible. We waited 20 minutes just to be greeted as we were getting up to leave we were asked to please stay. We saw our servers once. To bring our drinks and that was it. Above was a few months ago we went yesterday and the same issue. We waiting 20+ minutes and was never greeted. We left. We also walked in and there was women wearing close to nothing coming off of the water. Definitely not a family environment. We will not be returning. read more

I had really high expectations cause it looked like a modern place with prime real estate. The service was really good, the live music was nice, the view is great. Inside felt like frigid cold the entire time. The food was fine. We had the pretzels and cheese and they were pretty good. The boneless wings were decent. The burger was good but the French fries were basically inedible and the ranch tasted off. read more
