Great food Better drinks

by houstonfoodguy24

This is the place you have been looking for!!!

Just go in and have your self a big bowl of pasta or maybe even the burger. Trust me your not going to be mad about it. If you go to the bar have a rum and coke. Make sure you ask for a tall glass. This is a sailors bar so you can go here and be with real Americas cup sailors.

• Pros: You and the wife can have dinner and a drink for under $20!!!!

Long-time local favorite on the north shore of Clear Lake with a divey bar scene, busy lunch crowd, dinner specials and weekend breakfasts.

by Joshua Hinsdale

In Short
As the Clear Lake shoreline gentrifies and high-rise condos replace older apartment buildings, this casual cafe adjacent to the lake is a favorite for patrons from both groups. Regulars fill the bar to chat and visit while the lunch and dinner crowds order appetizers, soups, burgers, sandwiches, steaks, salads and seafood specialties from the diverse menu. The cafe is open early on weekends for migas (Tex-Mex eggs), pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and other faves.

Best Local Spot

by stewmas

Food is great. Service is prompt and friendly. One of my favorites. Try the Benson Burger. I have been going there since the beginning and have a lot of respect for a restaurant that can maintain such consistency. Definitely a top 10 for the CLA.

• Pros: food, service, friendly
• Cons: parking

Everything is awesome

by abaileyc

Whether you're in the mood for bengiets or milk shakes, this is the place to go. Everything on the menu rocks and is very reasonably priced. The seafood is great and their pasta rivals just about any place in the greater Houston area. I have to give this place a definte 10.

• Pros: variety, cheap, friendly service

Ambience isn't much???

by rogerbev

Give me a break.

If you're looking for the plush, soft, comfy amenities of home you don't wanna go here. But this place is full of fun people and excellent food.

Check out the Seafood Gumbo, there is nothing to compare in the Houston area. Just excellent.
