    Oh my god!!!! This place is so freaking slow. I've literally been sitting in this line for 20 mins!!! For a smoothie!!! The service is terrible because they hire little kids and don't train them in customer service. I hate that I love this place but I just can't afford to sit in line for hours waiting on a smoothie. Oh yeah I mentioned this to the owner 3 months ago....nothing changed except they got even slower!! FYI just incase your reading this and think I'm exaggerating, I took a pic of a guy who literally was so tired of waiting he got out of his car and was standing to stretch his legs!!!

    Good food fast. I had the southwest quesadilla and my wife had a jerk chicken bowl. Both were really good, although the quesadilla could have had more chicken in it, but still enough to be tasty. The smoothies were the best, decent price (a dollar less if you buy with your meal). Also, the staff was friendly and attentive. This is our third trip here and it looks like we'll be getting to be regulars here. Definitely worth a try.

    Pomegranate Plunge Smoothie

    My friend told me about this place so we tried it and loved the smoothies. We love the health nut and pomegranate one. I was on a liquid diet so I naturally wanted smoothies but that were healthy. This place is marketed eat better feel better but when I saw how they prepared the smoothies it is a lie. They put one scoop of fruit and the rest is concentrate juice with ice and water. I worked at Jamba Juice and all its smoothies had real fruit, juice and sherbert depending on the flavor. When I asked the person why it's all juice he explained he can't have all fruit smoothies and concentrate preserves the freshness and quality. Well concentrate isn't healthy for people watching what they eat. I was turned off by the lie on the board because it says pomegranate, banana, cranberries and strawberries. So it's a small scoop of strawberries and the rest was juice concentrate so you don't actually have the fruit in it. Maybe you should be clear about what is actually in your smoothies?!

    Baja Chicken and Strawberry Limeade Smoothie

    I just recently discovered this restaurant. During this quarantine I have been bored and tired of eating home cooked food. I seen someone on a YouTube channel that I watch go to this restaurant and remembered that I had one nearby. I went to the drive thru today and was a little overwhelmed by the menu. The person taking my order was very patient and kind. I ordered the Baja chicken wrap and the Strawberry Limeade smoothie. I also got the children's Turkey wrap and a Lil lime berry for my daughter. I absolutely loved my wrap and smoothie it was so delicious. My daughter loved her smoothie as well and liked her wrap as well (she's picky). I definitely will be coming back after things get back to normal as well. Love it and will recommend to my friends and family.

    Receipt

    I'm don't understand how y'all can feel good about charging 50 cents for (light) sauce. That is crazy ! Make it make sense. I understand everything more expensive. But to charge more for less... that's just stealing from your customers!! Shameful.

    Some of the healthiest smoothies around...hands down...I'm always satisfied when I leave this location...the staff is friendly and you always get a welcome type feeling when you enter the location...the food is quite delicious as well...today I'm trying the Southwest Omelet...and it smells awesome!!!

    So so good, will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area. They did an awesome job here, from service to great food. No complaints from me

    Beyond Meat Products!
    Meg W.

    Refreshing to see a healthy food joint open up in Katy. Pleasantly Surprised! Stopped by for lunch after a recommendation from a friend. The name is a bad representation it's much more than just smoothies and actually good quality. They serve BEYOND MEAT which made me very happy! Tried the chicken thai salad sub chicken for beyond meat and a cookie. Happy with it all :) I'll be coming back very soon!

    A solid restaurant for something to feed you at reasonable pricing. Great for dining in and to-go…read more I personally enjoy their mixed kababs with rice and hummus (comes with pita bread). Other honorable mentions: philly cheese subs (both beef and chicken, depending on your preference), beef kabab wrap, crispy chicken burger, and you must absolutely get their fries to share (or not to share, whatever floats your boat). Honestly, haven't had any issues with any of their entrees. Just a tip that fries actually are crispier if you dine-in instead of taking to-go. They also have catering service, which is great for when hosting for my Muslims friends and knowing everything I order from Busy Boy's are halal. I haven't tried their crepes but my friends love it here and always recommend it. There was a time over the Summer when I would randomly find hair but I realized it's one of the workers who kept scratching his head with food-prepped gloves. Haven't had any issues lately since then but just a headsup. I've been coming here for years and it's really a good option if you want food that doesn't take forever, halal, and just laid back atmosphere. Just please clean up after yourself to clear the table for the next guest. If you ever get a combo (with fries and a drink), I highly suggest the lemon-lime at their soda fountain but just try a bit of everything if it's your first time.

They have two new sandwiches on the menu, so I definitely had to try at least one of them. I went with the Cilantro Lime Steak sandwich, and was thoroughly satisfied! You get a nice-sized Cuban loaf, with lots of beef, string carrots, cucumbers, gobs of fresh cilantro, and a delicious cilantro lime dressing drizzled over the top. There is also a garlic mayo spread generously on the bread, so when it is perfectly toasted, it reminded me of garlic bread! And of course, I had to have my usual barbecue chips to top it all off. Another chef's kiss for a delicious sandwich! I will definitely be back to try the other new sandwich, the Buffalo Chicken Glaze!

    I heard so many great things about crave and craft and had to check it out when I was in the area…read more They're known for their halal sandwiches and wow they did not disappoint. They had TOOO many options to choose from. The inside is so cute and adorable- people were working from there which was nice. The service was great- the ladies working were so sweet and accommodating. They gave use recs and it was nice. We got the pastrami royale (14.99$) and the mahanattan melt (12.99$) and both were delicious. They were made fresh in front of you and you could personalize and add more topping if you wanted any. I love how they display the meats on a baking sheet which is so aesthetic. So incredibly flavorful and delicious. And the presentation was just wow!! I would highly recommend if you're in the area

I walked up and order the 2-pc London style. My wife, who was not down with the fried fish, went with the grilled chicken sandwich Came out pretty fast. And it was hot. Very hot. It came with fries (I guess that's their version of chips), onion rings and a hush puppy. Fish was just the way I like it for London style, which is a flour batter rather than corn meal batter. The sides were all good. It was just a lot of fried food. My wife's chicken avocado sandwich was huge. A massive chicken breast split and tons of avocado. I got a bite and it was very good. Good meal, reasonable price, friendly customer service so no complaints. I just wish they had real chips.

I really should have known better after walking in and it was warm and muggy, and the bathroom was kinda ran down grimy. Finally decided to give JLB another chance but decided to go to a different location. Walked in and was warm and muggy, the young lady at the register said she could turn on the fans, I was like yeah great idea . I went to the bathroom to wash my hands while my daughter and husband finished ordering, I came out and told her never mind we were not eating there and that the bathroom was disgusting. Also, I looked at the fans and thank goodness she did not turn them on! The dust was so thick and would have ended up getting all over everyone eating. What is it with the Katy locations A/C and bathrooms?! Is every JLB like this? I'm just trying to find a solid burger place since our move here. I'm just gonna stick to Old School Burger from here on out.
