Since 1993, Big Woodrow's Bar & Grill has been well known throughout the Houston Area for its rockin sports bar theme & huge outdoor deck. Woodrow's was voted by Citysearch-"The Best Outdoor Bar in Houston". It is the preferred viewing location for big playoff games as hundreds of fans turn out for each game filling up, not only the available seating indoors & on the front deck, but also the parking lot as well!

Big Woodrow's currently bills itself as a Texas-Sized Sports Bar with a lot of Cajun Spice. We offer a complete food menu highlighting Cajun food items; such as crawfish, catfish, jambalaya, and much more. Relax with a beer, wine or other beverage to complement the extensive food menu. Woodrow's can accommodate any type of event; big or small. Give us a call, or better yet, come by for a tour. The staff at Woodrow's look forward to seeing ya'll for a good time.

Editorial Review for Big Woodrow's Bar & Grill – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
Big Woodrow's, as it's called, draws a business crowd during the week for happy hour, and a raucous bunch of students and college alumni on big game days. Within the bar's weathered boards and bayou-style exterior is an efficient operation that provides cold, affordable beer and some of the best Cajun bar food around. Along with sports on more than 30 televisions, Woodrow's adds live entertainment, karaoke on Thursdays and TV trivia into the mix without compromising its sports-bar status.

Woodrows is a great place to go and unwind, the beer is cold, the food is hot, and there is most likly something of interest on the tvs. I have been frequenting Big Woodrow's for the Crawfish for as long as i can remember, and althought the priceing is average (at $4.99 a pound) the quality is not lacking! The other food on the menu is great as well, we always start off with an appatizer of fried pickels and gator, move on to the Crawfish, and finish every thing off by munching on some texas hushpuppies. The over all atmosphere is quite unique. Entertaining and friendly, If one ever has a problem the waitstaff or managers are willing to help in any way they can. The decore never ceses to amaze me, every time i walk in there is something new on the walls. (every thing from new specials and new neons to a dress and other random bits of clothing.) I would highly recomend going to Big Woodrows to any one who loves to have a good time, enjoy good food, and be around real good people.

Pros: One of a Kind Atmosphere

A good sports bar for a brew and some crawfish, even if you aren't a sports nut.  See the full editorial review.
