Drusilla Seafood. We went about 2 months ago because we had a nostalgic streak. It was objectively terrible.

Haven’t been in awhile but they used to have the best AYCE boiled shrimp deal in town.

I think it finally bit the bullet but I was always stunned that Cafe Francois on Bluebonnet stayed open for so long.

so sick of this bandwagon mentality around here of hating on any restaurant that is popular.

stop it. stop this nonsense.

TJ Ribs has good sauce and ribs. also, Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters have good wings. love going to all of them.


TJ's has the absolute best wings in BR. They are smoked then fried to crispy. And they serve the whole wing as a wing, so when you order 5 wings you get what every other place around calls "10 wing pieces".

Pizza is greasy and the place is dark and cramped and are they still cash only?



Cash only.
Cramped (because they are always busy).

Yeah. This is a real puzzle. Wonder how they pay the bills.

TJ Ribs was awesome about 15-20 years ago. It has faded since then.

Piccadilly on Sherwood caters to the older crowd but every time I drive by there’s maybe 7-8 cars.

Tax evasion and I wonder if they outright own the property instead of lease. Overhead could be low all while being cash only can make them be creative...

I think their corporate office is next door, so they probably have a lot of employees running in and out all day.

The one on Essen is massive and doesn't seem to be that busy. The one on Florida across from the Chevrolet dealer is a bit better.

That's how the only skate place in Katy, Tx is... it's nuts. There was almost too many people to even be able to skate. I actually think the skating ring market would do well right now, similar to how it used to be.

if Little Village is the pinnacle of Italian food for you then it's possible you just have bad taste.

anything on Florida blvd

I always wondered how Hobby Towne on airline and Florida stayed open. Im really happy that it is but it seems like Michaels and Hobby Lobby would've done away with it like Target and WalMarks did to toy stores

We I first moved here 20 years ago, new acquaintances all raved how good it was. Worst pizza I ever tasted.
