Incredibly disappointed with my first visit…

I ordered its Friday dinner special – all you can eat fried catfish ($22), and they brought me three super small pieces… I did ask for second, then they gave me a few more small pieces. Before I could finish my fried fish and possibly ask for more, they were already asking me if I’d like some boxes and bringing me the check…

The fried mushrooms came out hot, but the coating was not at all crunchy.

The $5 fried green tomatoes were pathetically thinly sliced, and I only received 4 small slices …. You should really check out TMG Burger Grill’s fried green tomatoes – the best crunch, value, flavor, and size!!

The portion size for green beans was tiny and the taste was rather bland.

Service was very friendly, but too many of them standing right next to the table, and I still had some hard time to get their attention. In any case, the service was not the main issue. I would not be back, because I could easily get more and better food elsewhere.

I had high hopes when i saw how amazing the burger looked, but it was so dry it was disappointing. the soup wasn’t soup it was some strange
gelatin mixed gravy that i could taste some french onion soup powder in. And the cajun fries, well let’s just say they need to swap out the oil…
great service!!! There is no reason that burger couldn’t have been drilling with moisture as it was pretty big.

0 Stars. This place is a health code violation disguised as a restaurant.

This was, without exaggeration, the worst dining experience I’ve ever had — and I’ve eaten at Dick’s Last Resort, where being rude is literally the theme. This place managed to be worse without even trying.

Let’s start with the food.

Let’s be very clear: I was served moldy onions witg my burger. Not “questionable.” Not “slightly off.” Mold. When I pointed it out and stated I would be including it in my review, the waiter immediately told us not to include his name — even though he never gave it to us.

The receipt says Zachary M.

If you’re confident in your service, you don’t panic about being named.

Inside the same burger was a wilted, green, chewy mystery item that had no business being there. The entire meal was served cold. Not warm. Cold. Every single meal at our table was cold. All six plates. Not lukewarm. Not “sat under a lamp too long.” Cold. Burgers. Chicken fried steaks. Mac and cheese. Chicken tenders. Everything.

The chicken fried steak came drowning in gravy that tasted like flavorless paste. We ordered two CFS and were told they didn’t have steak knives — at a restaurant serving steak. We were expected to cut it with butter knives. That alone should tell you everything you need to know.

My daughter’s chicken tenders? One was almost entirely fried breading. Just hollow crust.

Now let’s talk about the service, because they have the audacity to automatically charge us 20% gratuity for being a party of six (4 adults, 2 kids).

The table was dirty when we sat down.
My child found a dirty steak knife on the floor.
Customers had to physically move tables so we could fit — not a single employee offered to help.
No one mentioned the live music.
No one mentioned the playground.
No one checked on our food (which is convenient, because we absolutely would have told them it was cold and inedible).

I had to ask multiple times for my drink.
When I asked again while drinks were being delivered, a girl with black hair and dark lipstick — wearing what looked like a host shirt — snapped at me that it was coming.

When we were ready to leave, we held the check in the air for five full minutes. The waiter made eye contact, served the table behind us, and ignored us until my husband stood up to force interaction.

If you’re going to enforce mandatory gratuity, at minimum provide basic service: refill drinks, clear tables, check on food, don’t serve mold.

I genuinely question how this place has 4.5 stars. Either standards are underground, or the reviews are inflated — because there is absolutely no universe where this experience qualifies as good.

And before Denise, the owner, jumps into the comments to get defensive like she has on other reviews — the solution isn’t arguing with customers. It’s fixing sanitation issues, retraining staff, and earning the tip you’re automatically taking. Fix the sanitation issues, train your staff, and stop hiding behind automatic tips.
We will never return. We will actively tell people not to go.

Food was very good. Definitely recommend the chicken fried steak and grilled pork chops. The restaurant has a very relaxed hometown feeling.

Great food! Very large portions. Chicken tenders and onion rings are to die for. My wife said the chopped steak was very good and the brown gravy was very rich and flavorful.

First time here after it was recommended. The customer service was excellent. Zach was our server and the guy attendance to our party of 9 was welcoming! The food was delicious. The burger and chicken fried chicken was good. Special shout out to the brisket nachos. The brisket was the best we ever tasted and my folks usually don’t eat brisket. Overall, ambience was great and we recommend.

Texas Tradition is truly a great spot—whether you’re flying solo, out on a date night, or bringing the whole family along. I saw every type of group there, and it just works for everyone. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with that warm Texan hospitality shining through in the staff and guests alike.

If you’re looking to escape the everyday stress, this is a perfect place to reset. Now let’s talk about the food—because wow. It looked just as good as it tasted. When we first pulled up, I’ll admit I was wondering where my brother had decided to take us for dinner. But the moment we stepped inside and saw the buzz of food being served, people laughing, enjoying their meals and each other’s company, it instantly felt like the right choice.

Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for good comfort food and a friendly, laid-back vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

I had the small chicken fried steak with cream gravy, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, and green beans. The chicken fried steak was crispy on the outside and tender on inside with good flavor even in bites I took without the gravy. The mash potatoes were buttery and full of flavor with the brown gravy. I would say this is one of the better chicken fried steaks I have had in a long time.

I should have taken more pictures. But why when I got a picture of this pork tenderloin sandwich I had for lunch. The cajun fries were great but I really didn’t need any extras with this size sandwich. Texas Tradition is a must visit if ur in Katy.
