    Woodlands Salmon, asparagus and jalapeño bacon Mac and cheese
    April K.

    Another amazing dinner at my favorite restaurant! My Grey Goose martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was great. The Woodlands Salmon was cooked to perfection along with the asparagus (I saved the jalepeno bacon Mac for a later indulgence). The service was excellent. I can't say enough about the Republic Grill locations up here!

    Wedge Salad, very shareable and delicious
    Vik P.

    Yes yes yes! Only a few minor discrepancies for our visit. Smoked wings were just okay and service was a bit slow. Everything else was a hit from the kitchen & bar. Drinks - old fashioned had 2 and they tasted amazing, not too sweet and still taste the whiskey...it also did have me staying a little longer to allow the buzz to wear off. Food Wedge Salad - big enough for us 4 to share, loved it, not sure why so many restaurants don't serve this salad, one of my favorites and pretty simple. Gumbo - meaty and very good Smoked wings - lacked a little flavor Flounders were both great - prefer the blackened one, though it did come on the small side, you can't tell from under the seafood sauce. Sides enjoyed both green beans and mac.

    We were looking for somewhere to eat in the Spring area and we decided to check this restaurant out. The parking is free and the restaurant is nice. They have a patio area but it was too cold to eat outside. We came at a great time because we were seated immediately, without a reservation, and then it got crowded. The host was good and explained today's special to us before our waiter came. We started with the Chips & Queso with ground beef and it was AMAZING and had a nice kick to it! I had the Shrimp and Grits and added crawfish to it. It was too bland for my liking even after adding salt and pepper. My husband had the fish and chips and it was good. For dessert, we had the bread pudding and it was good. We tried two cocktails each and they were all great! Our waiter, Ben, was amazing, and the manager stopped by to see how everything went. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Can't believe I haven't left a review yet!! This is our regular place for Friday night dinner!!! The staff is attentive and friendly! I don't think you can go wrong with anyone here... Adam, Craig, Ed, Colin, Katie, Carson, just to name a few! Service is always on point here, as is the food! My favorite is the TRG Top Chop with the cornbread and broccoli!!! Do yourself a favor and dine here!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

    Pork chop, Mac n cheese

    Took my friend out for lunch to celebrate her recent engagement & she chose here. We started off with a bottle of Prosecco. It was probably one of my favorites and the only thing I enjoyed here. We shared the wings and they were decent. I had the chicken fried chicken with the bacon jalapeño mac and cheese, & broccoli. The chicken could've had some more flavor in my opinion. My friend said she enjoyed her pork chop though. We shared the tres leches - it could've been a bit more moist and soaked in leche. I'm all for giving restaurants a second chance so I may come back but not in the near future.

    Went here to celebrate a birthday. Staff was super friendly and the food was delicious!

    Went here for a girls meet up, just a walk in. One of my friend's first time going here. Wait was about 30 mins to sit inside so we opt to sit outside. Although it was raining it's covered so we were fine with sitting outside. We waited for about 10-15 mins for us to get a waiter. Our waitress was Tia, she wasn't very friendly or engaging when taking our order. she was very direct and to the point. Anyhow I got the Caprese as I've gotten before, it was fresh and delicious. Also got the jumbo wings but they were not fully done and the dipping sauce wasn't tasting like anything at all. We all had the wings and had the same sentiments on the taste and how it was done. I've been here before and had the same exact meal so hence why I got it again and I was dissatisfied. Also the music for outdoors was so loud we had a hard time hearing ourselves while conversing. I did say I'd come back here after my first experience but now I'm iffy.

    Chicken fried steak was more breading than steak

    Service was excellent…read more Ambiance--usual diner feel Food: Ox tails delicious--tad too spicy but I enjoyed every bite! Rice & gravy gummy with no seasoning! Cabbage was good--greens very spicy! Gave to my sister who rated 9 out of 10 would recommend. Cornbread was like hard day old bread and went into the trash! Bbq platter: BIL loved his plate! Said potato salad was meh but all else good! Hotlinks, ribs, and beans! Sister got fried chicken and added mac&cheese along with yams! Chicken was fresh but not seasoned much! Mac&cheese good for diner menu option, and yams were okay she said! Greasy spoon Mac is better IMO but Granny's oxtails the best I've had here in H-town! Although spicy/hot food is not my favorite I did enjoy them If the cornbread were softer & sweeter I think the rating would be 4! Would I go back? Hmm! Yea for the tails of course! I saw they have catfish & black eyed peas so I may try those next time as well! Overall 3.5 but can't do half stars By default I left it at 4

Daily specials of classic comfort foods, fried catfish, pork chops, barbecue, burgers, rolls (with margarine, I didn't know even know that was still a thing, isn't it bad for us ?) Banana pudding, peach cobbler, which is one of the best cobblers I've ever had. Red and white checkered vinyl tablecloths and booths that have seen a lot of action, this place is unchanged for who knows how long. Okay, as an Italian that loves to cook, I will say this place is catering to its older generation and overly cautious about its use of seasoning., and their paper cost. (We've asked for napkins 3 times now) I don't think they even salt the water for the potatoes or macaroni because both of these sides are blah. The black eyes peas were creamy and good ( and yes, I had to add salt to these too, but thats a given) once I got the salt right, I loved them. The portions were big enough of the fried catfish and the sliced beef that we could have shared one of those entrees, but we both wanted something different. Overall, great place, definitely recommend.
