Very Poor

by sdpper

Went second week in September 2011. We had some visitors in and since they are close to Hobby Airport thought we'd wine and dine our customers. Big mistake! Bonnie's used to be a first class restaurant but they have gone down hill big time. The Blue Cheese dressing was watery. Our order was late and we consumed a whole bottle of wine waiting for food. Oyster appetizer was horrible. When our food arrived it was cold. Had to send it back to get "steamed" or so they said. I think they probably microwaved it. They did knock some off the price for this debacle which was nice and I must say our waiter was very apologetic and we tipped him on what would have been the full price. But it was an embarrassment to us with our customer and a bad way to end an otherwise successful evening. I hope Bonnie's will consider their patrons again as they did years ago when I used to eat there regularly. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon if ever again!

Terrible.

by llock

We went in July 2011 and the place has gone so far downhill, it is not funny. The carpet was so old and dingy and worn out. The corn chowder soup was tasteless. They used to have a clam chowder that was good, but this was the cheapest, tasteless stuff I have ever had. I tried the salad bar, which was fresh, but nothing had any flavor, including the macaroni salad and the salad blue cheese dressing. The rib eye steak that I ordered was thin and not something a restaurant shoudl serve. I get much thinker and better quality steaks from Sam's Club stores. This place needs a Robert Irvine-Restaurant Impossible makeover on the decor and the food. Yuck. Never again.

Great food + wonderful customer service + Great Live Music

by Great Food and Service

In the vanishing world of "no service," Bonnie's is a STAR. All of the employees were genuinely kind and helpful. I was highly satisfied with my filet mignon, asparagus, and baked potato (took most of it home). The salad bar was excellent. High quality live music, performed by a multi-talented gentleman, was an added bonus.

Never go back.

My friend and I came there last night. It is close to my house, but I haven't been there before. My friend ordered a glass of white wine, which he said he could barely drink it, and it was $10. Then he switched to red wine. He got a Louis Martini glass, thinking that it would be a better wine since it was $15. No such luck. The wine arrived in a very small glass. It was definitely not worth $15. My friend drinks a lot of different types of wine, and he could tell it was just a cheap wine. We got NY strip steak for diner. On the menu, it said that every entree comes with a salad AND a soup. We share one entree and we told the waitress that my friend would have a salad, and I would have a soup. Well, she didn't tell us that she would charge us $6 for the soup which I had to go to get it myself. It was ridiculous. We asked her when we got the check, and she told us that because I ate that soup, not my friend ate it. My friend asked her what the difference was if who ate it, and that we were supposed to get a salad AND a soup as it metioned in the menu. She said they couldn't do this (?), and told us she would call the manager to come and talked to us. We waited there for 10 minutes, and nobody came. She just totally ignored us. We were very upset, and left her zero tip. The whole dinner was more than $80. Totally ripped off. Never come back to this place again.

Everyone is welcome

by eating is fun

I never do this writing thing, but I come in this place as often as I can. That review was sooo wrong I cannot sit back and let it go. This place has great food and great people and they are not racist at all. I asked about that night and those white people that came in were the bartenders ride home. They play poker after work and they came to pick him up like they always do. Things are not always what they seem and people assume the worst. If those people called and the hostess was wrong, she needs to get her hours of operation straight and should be reprimanded, but don't hate the place because of one mistake by an hourly person. We should not ever look at color or assume our color is what is causing the issue. Look beyond that. He says he had a drink with the owner the first time, he needs to contact the owner, the owner cared enough about him as a guest the first time to sit with him, why would he think he did not care the other times??

• Pros: food, people,salad bar
• Cons: not open on Sundays usually
