    Always a good experience at Pappa's steakhouse. It was my first time to sit in the smaller dining room which I actually loved since it was quieter than the main dining room so was easier to hear the table conversation. Service was impeccable as always. I was surprised how packed it was for a Monday night - so awesome to see. :)

    Very good experience. Waiter was very attentive. Food was amazing. Highly recommended. Only thing I will say is a lot of the sides come with pork so if you do not like pork ask in advance.

    We have eaten at both locations in Houston several times and have been impressed every time. The food is amazing and the service is great. The wait staff clearly knows their job and even with a 4000 label wine list were knowledgeable of every one we asked about. It’s a little pricey but well worth it. We will be back every time we come to Houston or Dallas. We need one in Austin!

    We love Pappas Bros. The food is amazing. Tonight was the first time that we had a mishap at the restaurant, the bus girl while pouring our water accidentally spilled at whole glass of water on my daughter in-law and Grandson. Her pants soaked. The girl disappeared and we never saw her again. The manger came over and moved us to another table but during our meal he never came back to check on us to see how our dinner was or to offer us a complimentary beverage or dessert.

    The 22 ounce bone in ribeye was one of the best steaks I've ever had - and that's saying something because I live in NYC and eat at Peter Luger's every year. Au Gratin potatoes are cheesy and creamy. The host tried to give us a bad seating location in the bar at first, but accommodated us with a nicer booth in the main dining room when I asked. Our waiter was pretty good though. Expensive restaurant. Ambiance is at the level of The Capital Grille. It is a good restaurant. I would return.

    We had a reservation, but had to wait 45 minutes for our table. Manager was aware of this and kept checking on us. Have us two complimentary appetizers. Overall a very good experience.
