Love this place! The crawfish truck is SO DELICIOUS!!!! The place is great to have some drinks with friends after a long day of work

I love this place. The vibe is good the music is good. The people are friendly. Not so much the waitresses. I honestly think they need more waitresses because I'm always standing there looking for someone to even acknowledge I'm standing there. Everything else is good. Oh, they need bigger bathrooms. read more

Really great bar. Awesome atmosphere, drinks, people and staff. Located off I-10 in Katy, it is a little out of the way, but once you get there you see why. There is plenty of space to do so many things there, it's not just a bar. This place was on Bar Rescue and with the new owners, it really shines. The night I went, a local band was playing live. The music was great and the vibe was relaxed and chill. I didn't get a chance to try any food, but will on my next visit. Drinks were good and not over priced like most places. Find this place and check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been away from Houston a year and a half. I miss this bar and all of the events that go down here. Definitely a great escape from the rat race. The owners are dedicated to making this bar the best hangout in Houston. Staff is beyond friendly and always makes sure you have a full, cold one. Never have to beg waitress or bartender for a new drink. The band's are always top notch. The crawfish boils are to die for. They have the best flavor and size crawfish during season. Just one experience and you'll be coming back for more. read more

Not your typical " biker bar", in that the clientele is so varied. Great stopping place after a nice intake of wind therapy for an adult beverage and just plain fun. Great bands play here many nights a week. Just go to the website! read more

Great outdoor venue for live music. Had a family party there at their separate party venue on the property and it was so fun. Nori the bartender was so sweet. read more

This a real dump of a place. Rude management and staff. Drinks are watered down. The health department needs to visit this place more often as it seems to be the same "cleanliness" standards that Good Ol Boys had (which was none, and they are gone and this place will be joining them in the near future). read more

A Thursday afternoon 5pm- a DRAFT beer is $5... Plenty of guys in midlife-crisis standing around complimenting each others bikes with 5k miles. No reason to go back. read more

This place is becoming a great place to see live music. Very clean and friendly! I really only have one beef with the place. We came out to see a concert. I was the DD so I ordered Iced Tea. I got two refills. When we got the bill. They charged me for three very small glasses of tea. When I asked about it, the response was that they were in the business of selling drinks. When I asked about being the DD, the mgr. came back at me and asked if I told them. My response was that I was drinking Iced tea at a Jakyl concert. I was not asking for anything free, I just don't think I should pay $1.75 for every tea refill. That is fine, if that is the way they want to do business. I will just not give them mine. Now, in all fairness. The Mgr. did refund the money for the refills. read more

Great local bar in Katy, Texas. The drinks are priced good, service is great, and the atmosphere is fun. Friday Nights is Karaoke, Saturday Nights Have Live Bands, Plenty of Outdoor Seating, Great Hidden Bar...You will definitely come back for more! This place gets business by word of mouth and I will highly recommend it! read more

The Wildcatter Saloon - Outdoor stage, bar hut and picnic tables. This is the view from the main bar. - Bars Near Me - Katy, Texas

I have to be honest, the reason the hubby and I decided to checkout Wildcatter Saloon is because we saw it on an episode on 'Bar Rescue'. Prior to that, we had no idea there was a bar hidden off the I-10W feeder, just west of downtown Katy. In addition to the main bar which which had a variety of indoor and outdoor seating, we noticed a larger stage and outdoor seating adjacent to the property across a small bridge. Definitely curious about that stage! We were very pleased, and plan on going back again. The service was attentive & friendly, including the owner Jeff who stopped by our table twice. We made new friends with another first-timer, and a couple who were regulars, before the makeover. The crowd was an interesting mix of bikers dudes and chicks (probably holdovers from the 'old bar'); and suburban couples & small groups of folks mostly age 30+. Live music started around 9:00p, and it happened to be the first night that musician's Stacey Steele's new band 'Devil Anse', made-up of some members of local band 'Toy Subs', played. Awesome mix of rock, country, cross-over, 70's, 80's, etc. The food from the semi-attached food truck was terrific! Hubby had the Turkey Meatloaf Sandwich, and he kept stealing bites from my Knuckle Head Nachos (made out of a foundation of waffle fries in lieu of tortilla chips.) I think we'll try the Wings and the Beer-Battered Fish Steak Sandwich next time. We also ordered one of their signature shots Wildcatter House Whiskey -- A chilled shot of Bullet Bourbon infused with cinnamon extract and Simple Syrup. (Tasted sort of like Fireball.) I'm giving it 4-stars for three reasons: The band wanted people to dance, but there wasn't room to dance. They just need to remove 1 table to make it work. Katy, TX is one of the holdovers that allows smoking in bars. We spent half our visit on the outdoor patio to avoid too much smoke. They've got to put a better, more visual sign, on the feeder road. If you're not looking for this place, you'll never find it. If you're looking for a fun place to kick-back, whether you're in denim or leather, heels or boots -- Wildcatter Saloon is a great place to drink, eat, and be yourself. Rock on! read more

My husband and I joined some friends at Wildcatter Saloon last Thursday night to watch an NBA finals game. We had trouble finding the bar, and the drive in was a little creepy. Now that I know where I'm going, it won't be an issue. The dark drive in is kind of nice, since it allows the bar to be secluded from the city lights. The bar had a good amount of people at it for a Thursday night. I'd say most were 30+, except for our group. The server was very attentive, and refreshed our drinks regularly. Their signature whiskey drinks are to die for. We tried 4 different ones, and they were all unique and incredibly tasty. My husband and I ordered food from the food truck. We got mozzarella sticks, and two of the burgers. The mozzarella sticks were just your standard bar mozzarella sticks appetizer, but they were served with very little marinara. OMG! The burgers! The burger is served on a jalapeno bun that was so fresh and moist. It's topped with fries jalapenos, cheese, bacon, and sweet pickles. The meat patty was a pre-formed patty, but they seasoned it and cooked it well. They had karaoke while we were there, and the winner of the karaoke contest got a $50 bar tab comped. Several people went up. There were your typical drunk people that are fun to watch, and then some people that were actually really good. In between karaoke singers, the DJ was playing a good mix of music from classic rock to current stuff. There's outdoor seating by the food truck, outdoor seating by a stage, and indoor seating. I'd love to come to an outdoor concert on a nice evening out in Katy. We will definitely be coming back here soon. It's the type of place I'd love to be a regular. I'd give it 5 stars if there was no smoking. The bar is in Fort Bend, so it's not smoke free. That was really the only complaint I had the entire evening. read more

I was really excited to visit this spot since it is so close to my neighborhood. I saw the episode about it on bar rescue and had to visit. It is a nice place buttttt... 1. The bar tender introduced himself to everyone but me and my husband. 2. We ordered food and drinks and he tended to the 5 other people in the bar before even putting in our order...they were ordering a second round. 3. The drinks were gross. I definitely will not waste my time on this spot again...i live closer to Einstein ' s Pub and would rather their friendly yet smokey environment then be ignored again at this place. read more

I have been to the Wildcatter Saloon a few times and I've enjoyed it everytime. The first time I went there was for Beerfest, they had a bunch of local breweries (No Label, St. Arnold, Southern Star and a couple others) there. Got to try some new beers I would of never tasted otherwise. Much fun. They have a food truck instead of a kitchen. I was a little leery at first, but it was surprisingly good. Try the turkey meatloaf sandwich. Also have bands on the weekend, usually pretty good local talent. I plan on going back, both for the beer and the food. read more

Wife & really enjoyed the atmosphere. We went to see the Marshall Tucker Band which was a big disappointment. Will go back there for another visit. The Chad Cooke Bank was awesome. We ate from the food trucks that were there and enjoyed that. Drink prices were very reasonable. read more

Great place great atmosphere the tv on the patio isnt great for watching sports outside but the bar is amazing!!

Don't ever go to a concert there, they have no idea how to run a venue. We stood in line for over an hour and still didn't get a beer. They over sold and had no idea how to serve or control the crowd. Horrible experience. We won't be back. Had to stand in line to try to get a refund and we were done. read more

Came here around 3 on a rainy Saturday so it wasn't very busy. We started inside but it was very smoky so we moved to the outside area. It was a pretty cool area. Very laid back and relaxed. Cold beer, good drinks, nice waitress/bartender. Looks like they are ready for a huge bonfire when the wether cools down...I want to be there for that! Also looks like they have a nice set up for concerts. read more

Love this place. The food is excellent and the people are great. Cheap beer and there's always entertainment. If the band is too loud the outdoor area is a nice get away. I only wish that it was in an more accessible area. read more

Worst concert venue EVER. Mismanaged, unorganized, understaffed.... Waited in line on the feeder road of I-10 trying to get into the parking lot for 30 MINUTES and didn't even move. We left and just forfeited our tickets. Got intel. from my daughter that the inside was a shit-show and people had been standing in line for drinks for a solid hour! What ??? How can you book bigger acts and then not have the staff to accommodate the crowd?? That just goes to show you.....owners are all about the bottom line, NOT the experience for their patrons! I'd like to get a refund for the concert that I never attended - but somehow I don't see that happening. read more

Went here tonight with some friends after another event sold out. Great atmosphere. Good drinks. Bands and music were awesome. However the food was awful. If you want to go here - and it gets busier as the night goes on - eat first. Then enjoy the drinks and music with your friends. We will definitely return - but as a drinking place only. read more

An okay spot far out in Katy. Music was way too loud, our party of 8 had to yell at each other across the table when we were sitting 2 feet away from each other. I enjoyed some of the songs played but other than that, nothing special. Maybe we were there on a bad night or too early but it's not going to be my first choice when I decide to go out again. read more

Great live bands on Sunday cheap drinks and relaxed atmosphere . Was rescued on Bar Rescue TV show, still hidden location not sure if they really want to keep it that way? Biker friendly brunch buffet on Sunday and food truck is open as well. read more

It's a Saloon. It is a cool place. The staff is friendly and attentive. The only complaint is it is a smoke friendly establishment. The smoke smell is strong and when you leave you reek like an ashtray. read more

Dirt road, funky bar, great burger and a Shiner, I'll take it! Fun place live music and really a great little menu. Try the Catter Burger! Awesome. read more

Tried this place out for the first time last night. Fun atmosphere and the food was decent. The only issue I had was all the smoking. It was so thick and I ended up smelling like an ashtray. I'm not a fan of that. Wish they would ban indoor smoking like most places do. I had to leave earlier than I would have liked because it was too much. However, they have what looks like a great outdoor venue for bands so I will probably come back and try that out. read more

This place may be a little difficult to find but it is worth the effort. Menu is limited but excellent and made to order. The outside bandstand and the grounds are a great place to chill. Very cool place. read more

I went on a Monday at 5:30 so I didn't get to experience this place in all it's glory but what I did experience, I loved! The bartenders were quick and friendly. Like most, I had never heard of this place until Bar Rescue and I don't live nearby so I hadn't been able to make it out for a few years. I don't remember much about the episode but it looks like most of the transformation stuck. Everything was clean, nice and organized. Similar establishments get gross pretty quick. I never got to use the restrooms or wander around but the little I did see, I liked very much. I left wishing I lived closer. read more

Love this place. All you can eat crawfish on the cheap during crawfish season is my favorite! Love the bloody mary bar and buckets of dos equis. I like the outdoor/indoor feel and it's always fun when there is a live band. If you're over the Katy bar scene and are looking for somewhere different, this is a good choice! read more

My boyfriend and I actually found out about this bar from tv. We drove two hours specifically to come here and my goodness if we lived closer we would be here all the time!! I don't even know where to start! The bartender we had I believe her name was Andrea, she was so engaging and helpful the moment we sat down! I had no idea what I wanted to drink and told her to surprise me and I was wowed!! It was amazing!! Outside of the main bar area they have a food truck! I wanted everything but I settled for the fried bacon and fried green beans, it was delicious!! The prices are very reasonable for both food and drink! I believe the total for both food and drinks we got was around $30! The owner came over and talked to us he was really a sweet guy!! Literally him and his entire staff amazed my boyfriend and I with their kindness and loving hospitality! The place is super clean and the bathrooms are too! They have a bridge that you can walk over to get to another hangout area where the big bands play, the have hammocks, swings, chairs, benches, cool decorative lights and a huge fire place! The place itself is very spacious, we will definitely be coming back!! I highly recommend coming here! read more

When friends invite you to follow them you will be wondering if they planning on killing you until you see the building. Then it changes to HOLY COW! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! Now has 3 stages. Small indoor, medium outdoors, and a large one outdoors across the bayou with it own full bar. Tribute bands, dinks, crawfish, and great food truck. All the employees and owners are great. Happy and friendly. If you are into live music you will make this place you go to hangout. read more

I have been wanting to go to this spot for a while now, finally convinced my friends and it was AWESOME!!! Nice set up, great bar tenders- the live band was ON POINT! read more

So glad we found this place! Went last night with some friends and has drinks and good food on the patio. Can't wait to come back and see some live music! The patio is amazing! And looks to be kid friendly, at least during the day! Place is a gem! Great bartenders, very friendly! Owner introduced himself to us. Very nice and polite man! read more

Went this past Saturday. Nice bartender but you will not get service unless you go to the bar. We never got to order food and left after never getting service on the side patio. Nowhere to sit inside so had to sit outside. It was cold & they couldn't turn on heaters as they said the band was playing and they couldn't plug in heaters due to not having enough outlets. Loved the band that played a great variety just wish they had better service and heaters. We would have stayed if they had those two things. read more

Went there cause I saw this place on bar rescue. Met with the owner who actually used to own the end zone in west Houston. Nice staff. Fast service I enjoyed my visit and if I'm back in the area I'll come back. read more

We love this place! The atmosphere is great, servers are attentive and love the live bands on Saturday! I met the owner and she treated us like we were family.. I was genuinely surprised, don't find that too often in businesses these days. I suggest anyone in the area to go and try it out!. read more

This is a great get away from the city for some relaxing and fun. The staff is super friendly and nice atmosphere.

I can't say enough good things about this place. My wife and I came here to see a show they were putting on (Lynch Mob) and were impressed. This was our first time here (from out of town) so we had no idea what to expect. What we found was a great place to hang out with good prices, good food, and friendly staff and atmosphere. No BS attitudes here! Everyone from the owner to the rest of the staff were checking on the customers to ensure they had everything they needed. John, the event coordinator, did a great job with the concert, keeping everything rolling and getting us where we needed to be. I'd stop by here anytime! Good luck guys! read more
