not worth the trip

by LoneStar4200

The landing was not worth the drive. I make this statement because most of the people that are willing to pay the $27+ for "all you can eat" do not live anywhere near the landing. It is located in a less than desirable area of town. It does have a nice view of the ship channel, in all its cargo ships glory. The building itself is nice with great personality. There are plenty of banquet space for rent "probably the only reason this place is still in business". The staff was helpful and adequately professional. The worst thing about the place was the food. I honesty felt that I have eaten better at a Golden Coral. Best thing was the salad bar, it was fresh, but still just a bunch of lettuce. I will have to say I sampled every savory item on display and nothing came close to being satisfying. Many of the items appeared to be previously frozen "fried shrimp and catfish". My last selection was the Gumbo. I lifted the lid and noticed an aroma that I had never smelt before. After a few moments of debating whether to try it or not I laddled me a bowl. When I sat back at the table I took my first bite and realized what the taste was, musk. I sit here almost an hour later still unable to get the taste of funk out of my mouth. Diner Beware.

• Pros: nice building, party space for rent, seat with a view "sort of"
• Cons: food quality, taste, and location

Big dissapointment!

by Lovettgirl

I went to Brady's Landing for Easter brunch with 4 friends (we all go to Rice). We don't go out and spend a lot of money eating a lot so we were looking forward to Brady's Landing for a while as a nice treat for Easter. However, it was a huge dissapointment. Not only was it in an pretty sketchy area of town, but the food and service were both orrible and the views were of ugly freight boats. There was a lot of food but most of it had been sitting out for hours and with no waiters replacing it. We had to scrape the bottom of the platter to get any food at all, and all of it was tepid and unappetizing. We were all very dissapointed and felt sick afterwards. It was also very overpriced for the quality of the food and service.

Best Brunch

by takethisdog

Way over priced, especially to be bothered by crying children and the uneven multi-leveled dining room makes it difficult to serve myself plates of food. If I'd wanted to haul plates of food around to serve myself, I could've stayed at home, saved the $25 plus tax and tip! As for the view, it was dismally raining and the ship channel is dirty with trash and litter floating down the stream! There was ample variety of foods, however, much of it fat laden and unhealthy.

• Pros: huge variety of food
• Cons: view, uneven flooring, buffet, not for children, over priced
