    This is an iconic restaurant in a historic building. It is full of personality and has a great staff. If you pay attention to the daily specials, you can do really well in terms of value. Sunday's pork chop dinner for $19 is regularly priced at $42, for example. (Please see my photo of the daily specials board.) That said, this former bordello does have some downsides, which I need to mention: First, it is too loud -- nothing sound-absorbing in the place, and the jazz music recording was turned up the day we were there. This caused communication problems with the waiter, who misheard me, and I really couldn't hear what he was saying. This is not an intimate spot for deep conversations. Second, parking is a challenge. No parking lot. There are some spaces across the street along the railroad tracks, but not enough. I parked on the other side of the tracks and hiked over the rails, but that is a little dangerous. There are some $ 5-a-day parking lots up the road. Is the pork chop better than Perry's? I liked the mashed potatoes, and the meat was properly prepared for sure, but the seasoning was not exactly right for me -- I think they added cinnamon, though my wife thinks it was allspice, and a hint of sugar. An East Texas sort of flavor--I prefer Perry's. But a close second for sure. Allec, I can't find your card, so I know I am spelling your name wrong, but you were a great waiter, and so I am giving this shack a 5.

    Amazing Service from start to finish!! The waitress even offered to take us on a tour of the upstairs rooms/museum! Ask for Zoe!! She's the BEST! Hubby thoroughly enjoyed the appetizer trio with sausage balls, cheese curds, and fried pickles, but his FAVORITE was the double cut chop!! It was juicy and tasted more like a ham than a dry chop! The elote was a hit and he ate so much he made himself sick. I liked the appetizer as well, but was really happy with my wedge salad and mushroom soup!! I also had a slice of beer bread with honey butter, and it was good but not as notable as the rest! Great "saloon" feel in an old building that has been open for 100 years as a brothel, restaurant, hotel, and saloon! Big screen TVs in the bar for the sports fans! Go Astros!

    Beer Bread Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich.

    Wunsche Bros Cafe & Saloon has been here since 1902. The sign on the building says so, the front room leans into the history with wood walls and staircase. Everything else has been either redone or remodeled to death. Nothing feels or looks old, the bar area looks downright 2000's hipster industrial. The bathroom was genuinely cool though. As a history teacher I'm giving the decor a D. Once again, the wife and I had some errands to run in the Conroe area. I decided on Wunsche Bros, a place I've always wanted to try. Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. We ordered beer bread for an appetizer, a Caesar Salad, and the Chicken Fried Steak with Mac and Cheese for the entree. The beer bread was okay. It was dense and had a good flavor but I've had better. Beer Bread gets a C. The salad had identity issues. The lettuce was a little limp. The dressing, and parmesan cheese slices were top notch though and that kept it from getting a failing grade. Caesar Salad gets a B-. The Chicken Fried Steak was good. The breading was crisp around the edges, and held up against the gravy. The steak was firm but not chewy.. The mashed potatoes were velvety and creamy. I liked the chunks of skin. They felt like they were marinated in butter. The Mac and cheese was a let down. They tasted like elevated Kraft macaroni and cheese from the box covered in seasoned breadcrumbs. My wife said everything was too salty for her and after contemplating I had to agree. Chicken Fried Steak: C+ Mashed Potatoes: C- Mac and Cheese: F Service gets an A. The wait staff was very attentive and worked quickly when my wife spilled her water. Overall it finishes with a C minus. I liked Old Town Spring and plan to go back but I won't go back to Wunsche Bros. There's other places to try and this place didn't make the cut for traditional "must do" places. I had high hopes though. *extra credit- crispy mashed potato bite: good combination of the mashed potatoes and crispy fried breading. It gets a C minus. Beer Bread Steak Sandwich: beer bread is too dense, not recommended! It gets a D minus.

    Our first time here. But I can tell this place is normally a solid 4‑star spot, although today's visit was a 3‑star experience at best--mostly because the small, meaningful touches just didn't happen. Birthday Misses: I told the staff three times that we were celebrating my kid's birthday. We got one quick "oh, happy birthday" at the start, and then... nothing. No candle. No card. Not even a simple "happy birthday" when the cake we ordered arrived. I actually had to say as a prompt, "we have to order a slice of cake since it's her birthday," which felt like pulling teeth. Even a tiny acknowledgment when dropping off the dessert would've made her day. Service & Knowledge: I think this came down to our specific waiter--clearly new and still learning. I saw other servers who looked fantastic, but ours didn't even know what sides came with the steak, and couldn't answer basic questions (including the ghost stories my kid was excited about). Food Notes: * My kid's steak was ordered medium rare, but came out very rare and blue inside--see pic. I would've loved it because I love Pittsburgh style steak. But my kid don't like it when the meat is still kick'in. * The whiskey cake wasn't sweet or chocolaty, which is unfortunate because that's exactly what my kid loves. Her review: "Wait... that was chocolate?" * The half‑priced pork chop was excellent--right up there with Perry's!! * My mashed potatoes had cold pockets, which was odd, though most of it was fine. Atmosphere: We were seated in the half of the building that previously burned down. It's very obvious which side that is, both on the inside and outside. We asked about hauntings (my kid was hoping for a fun story), but our waiter didn't seem to know much or want to embellish. Final Thoughts: I still recommend this restaurant--like I said I can tell it's usually a strong 4‑star place. But today, between the missed birthday moment, the undercooked steak, and the uneven service, I feel it just didn't reach its usual standard.

    The service started off a little combobulated but it got better as the night progressed. The food was good but the atmosphere was very busy. Loud because people were packed in the dining area. It's located in Old Town Spring

    A true Texas legend started over a century ago when two local brothers Charlie and Dale Wunsche, opened a Hotel, brothel and saloon for the railroad workers and travelers. The business thrived until prohibition when it was sold and became a café in 1949. Today we came to try the popular $19 pork chop special. They have wonderful daily specials. They do have wonderful starters such as sausage and sauerkraut balls and Texas style queso. The fried green tomatoes are fabulous. Numerous burgers and sandwiches. They have campfire fair such as house smoked sausage and stuffed poblano peppers. Traditional entrées, such as chicken fried steak and fried catfish. They have steaks and their double cut smoked pork chop. Tons of southern sides, such as southern collard greens and squash casserole. You might wanna end your meal with their famous whiskey cake, which started being served the day after prohibition began to use up the rest of their whiskey. Yummy! Lots of seating but the parking is definitely a premium. If you're looking to throw a gathering, they do have an event and party space downstairs as well as upstairs with a rooftop lounge and patio. Charming but also a bit loud for dining conversation. We did receive fabulous service from Allec! Enjoy

    Modern restaurant with southern vibe. Service and atmosphere: This is modern and well designed restaurant and bar. There are plenty of seating options and different rooms to hire on the second floor for special events. The place was clean and organised. Our server SiSi was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Food and drinks: Good menu options. You can choose here meat and seafood dishes , salads, sandwiches, and desserts. We enjoyed our mains, mashed potatoes with wasabi and seared ahi tuna, and fried chicken plate. Good seasoning and flavours. Chicken was still succulent and had perfect amount of crunchy breading on the outside. There is full open bar where you can order beers, wine, and signature cocktails. Pricing: $$/$ - the menu items were priced fairly and the experience was worth it.

    The service at our table was amazing. Harmony made our evening special and memorable. We decided not to order appetizers to save room for other items. We ordered their beer bread which was just ok. Nothing real special in our opinion. We ordered a Caesar and House Salad. There were very good. My wife ordered their beer bread grilled Salmon medium rare and she thought it was great. I ordered the smoked sausage and it was good, but I thought the food temperature should have been hotter. The white bread on the side is really unnecessary. The portion was great, and the grilled jalapeño was phenomenal. I could have read the menu wrong but I thought the onions were supposed to be pickled red onions, and they weren't, The ambience was nice. It is an old salon and the nostalgia is dripping all over the place. All the employees were encountered were super friendly. We ordered the Pecan Pie dessert and it was mediocre in my opinion. I don't drink alcohol and normally order cranberry juice. If you want a juice refill you are charged for it. I came here for a Yelp Elite event about a year ago, and this is the first time I had a full dinner experience.

    One of the best pork chops of my life was had today at a haunted hotel and brothel built in 1902. They hand cut their French fries like Fritos scoops and are amazing! Famous squash casserole was surprisingly sweet but good. Sweet potatoes are praline sweet! Expensive but you're paying for quality.

    Fried pickles, cheese curds, sauerkraut bites
    Samantha H.

    We stopped in and ordered a variety of appetizers to share. Standouts were the cheese curds, Cesar salad and pork bites. It is a historical building with lots of charm and fun decor. Also a cool history associated with the restaurant. Staff are so friendly and service was great. We enjoyed all of the food options and would definitely recommend!

    The food was excellent. Our server was great getting us everything we needed. The ambiance was good the music got a little loud but was still in a good range.

    Mac n cheese
    Ryen W.

    From the moment we walked in, the experience was top tier. Our server Hannah was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed -- customer service was A1 I ordered the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese, paired with a non-alcoholic hibiscus margarita and BABYYYY ‍‍‍ FYE DOESN'T EVEN COVER IT. The food had that perfect home-style comfort feel, seasoned just right, and cooked to perfection. My mom had the fried catfish and fries, and every bite was crispy, flavorful, and so well seasoned. You can tell care goes into the food here. If you're looking for comfort food done right, a welcoming atmosphere, and great service this spot is a MUST. We'll definitely be back!

    Pork Chop Special
    Jennifer S.

    Today was my third time visiting, and honestly, it was the best experience yet! We came on their Wednesday pork chop special night. My husband and I were in a time crunch and only had about 50 minutes before our next plans. Our server assured us we'd be fine -- and she was right! Our food came out in about five minutes, which absolutely amazed me. My husband's pork chop was massive, tender, and full of flavor. The apple butter paired perfectly with it. I ordered the chicken fried steak, and I can honestly say it's the best I've ever had. The portion was generous, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious -- especially with the steak. The mac and cheese was simple but still tasty. We also tried the Wunsche Mojitos -- they were sweet and refreshing (I just wish it was a touch stronger). Our server was fantastic! I didn't catch her name, but she had such a great personality and made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to come back again -- and enjoy our leftovers tomorrow!

That's nice so you don't have to put on the required latex gloves to use their veggie bar to get these yourselves. It's in a separate bag. I thought this was the buger at first and was secretly getting a bit concerned when I saw the cook toss it onto the counter like a bean bag. The cashier was super nice. He offered me water as I waited. They had another guy working in the back cooking the food. You also get a thimble of ketchup in your Togo bag along with a packet of mustard and mayo. The bun was a little burnt. And I couldn't taste any of the mixed in jalapeños. Also I kinda wish they had whole lettuce rather than chopped just because it kept falling out of the burger. But other than these issues the burger was pretty tasty. Definitely not a McDonald's burger like one person posted. But also not the best burger ever as many other posters swear by. Definitely glad I went. But don't know if I'd be willing to spend another $20 on one of their Burgers either. They're closed on Sundays according to Google maps which is old school nice to see.
