Music, Music, Music

by junie3 at Citysearch

The food is always excellent and so are the prices but I often hesitate to go there because of the loud country music. If you insist on country music, play something a little more cheerful and please turn down the volume. When people go out to eat, conversation is as much a part of the occasion as the food and it is difficult to concentrate on talking when the music is so loud.

• Pros: Grreat variety, Good salads
• Cons: Music too loud

What Skeeter's Wishes it Was

by djsaint at Citysearch

Instead of focusing on what this restaurant is NOT, I'll talk about what it IS. Jax is my standby--a friendly family place where I know I'll always get a great meal at a great price. The food is simple, fresh and-dare I say-gourmet. I'm not sure why people keep putting down the fine burgers. I hardly ever get them. Jax has so much more to offer-all of it fantastic. Go for the salads (I get the Southwest Salad with fajita beef) which are topped with amazing homemade dressings. Or try the fish special of the day. The list of daily specials always features innovative items with gourmet flair, like pork loin with plum sauce, or Amber Jack with a white wine crab sauce. Sure, it's crowded, but isn't that usually a good sign? Don't listen to the complaints. Go give Jax a try!

• Pros: Fresh, flavorful Food, Value, Friendly

Wonderful

by rrraaazzz at Citysearch

This restaurant is great; my family frequents it quite often. It's often crowded, especially during the summer, but do not let that deter you from waiting in line for a great meal. It's the perfect place for you to take your kids because the atmosphere is very kid friendly and welcoming. Their burgers are great, definitely a lot better than the ones from the Bellaire Broiler Burger.

• Pros: Yummy food

Spinach Enchiladas

by MMajorwitz at Citysearch

Don't order the spinach & crabmeat enchiladas. Way too much spinach, not enough crabmeat, and the ancho sauce doesn't go with the strong taste of spinace, a white sauce of some kind would be better.

• Pros: inexpensive, pay as you go
• Cons: Bad parking, patio needs cleaning

Bring your Kids

by piedraalan at Citysearch

Beats the heck out of Luby's! For that matter, this place beats Skeeter's, Chilis and many others in my opinion for feeding the kids. They have everything to eat and the games to play (and the TV to watch). Not gourmet, but does the trick...
