I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

by Feleda Duby

This place is great...It's the type of place that you can go in with shorts/t-shirt and flip flops or dressed to the nines and it doesn't matter..you fit in! The staff is friendly and on our first visit we were made to feel like regulars that had been going there for years..What more can you ask for? It's also nice (as a smoker) that there is an area to watch tv etc and smoke without feeling like you have to go out back and stand next to the dumpster. Also, if you're a fan of crawfish, they have some of the best crawfish I've ever had and plenty of seating for our group of 20+ to sit together! I very much recommend this place..it's got a little something for everyone! Thanks Big John's!

  • Pros: Great Service, Fantastic Food, Very Laid Back Atmosphere

Too much smoke

by houstontxgal

Friendly bar, but too much smoke. In the cold days and nights, the barrier is open between the part with the garage doors and the inside bar and the garage doors are closed! However, everyone is nice and the bartenders are great!

  • Pros: Friendly bar with great music
  • Cons: Too much smoke!
