Hofbrau Steak House

I swear I had been here before many years ago, but it's been so long so I came back when I was in the area for a late lunch. Luckily they have lunch everyday until 4pm. The exterior is like a large cabin in the woods. You park in a lot east of the restaurant and cross a bridge over a ditch and get to the main lot where the building is located. Inside, the interior is like a roadhouse with a lot of exposed wood and signs plastered all over every wall. Some are advertisements, some are catchy slogans, some are funny license plates. Either way, it's a lot to look at before waiting for the food to come out. I ordered the lunch chicken fried steak special for 13.99. They actually have 4 different...

Good service, love the atmosphere! But... I got a simple Ribeye steak, (I'm something of a steak connoisseur) and it was disappointing. The steak itself was a decent piece of meat, but prepared and cooked horribly. First off, they only lightly seasoned one side of the steak. Then a very light sear (enough to get grill marks on the face, but leaving the steak a light gray). Then the steak was VERY obviously just stuck in an oven until at temp which made for an extremely bland, chewy steak, and definitely not worth $36. I can cook up an infinitely better steak for half that price and a trip to HEB. The sides and appetizer of Fried Pickles were top notch.

The food is always great. The trademark is a chicken fried steak in small, regular or Texas Size. Staff is always friendly and accommodating to all your questions and request. You definitely need to check this place out.

Not what I expected for the price and service wasn't that great either. I have eaten at another location in Houston that was so much better. Was very disappointed. Sorry guys, but we won't be back

The food was good, the service was quick, and the atmosphere was definitely family-friendly. I might not go out of my way to eat there again, but if I were in the area, I'd go back.
