242 Pub Grill

242 Pub Grill
3.7 / 5 (3187 reviews)

Description

Nestled away from the city’s bustle, this small pub offers standout dishes like crispy beer-battered shrimp and some of the best fish and chips in the Houston area, especially notable during their Friday specials. Friendly, attentive service enhances the experience, alongside cold beers and inventive menu items like cheese curds with caramel sauce. However, inconsistent food availability and occasional slow service temper the enthusiasm. The atmosphere can feel uneven, with some patrons reporting concerns about staff attentiveness. Overall, it's a decent spot for casual dining, but those seeking reliability or a safe, game-watching environment might prefer other local venues.

This small, out of the way sports bar sells more than just beer and crawfish. They have the very best fish and chips in the Houston area. Four huge pieces of cod with coleslaw and waffle fries. Some tarter sauce and you think you?re in heaven. Fridayit is the special and sells for only $10.95! Wow. By the way, I don?t work there. Definitely worth the time and gas to enjoysuch a sumptuous meal.

Can't give less than 2 stars because the food is good. But we were informed 10 minutes after ordering that what my son ordered they were out of. So he changed his order. His food came out over 10 minutes ago and he had tome to finish eating it before ourother 2 orders showed up. When it finally did make it out, my onion rings were 2 steps above ice cube cold. We keep trying togive this place a chance. But after 4 years it's just never gets any better. Always something evert single time!

Food was good, service was good, even though they gave my husbands beer to another table Bec they weren?t paying attention closely. They were super kid friendly. My chicken fried steak was huge only complaint would be that it was a little too peppery.Could definitely have used less pepper, as it makes it spicy when it shouldn?t be. Overall would definitely eat there again.

Fried mushrooms were pretty good. I ordered the 242 burger double meat double cheese with bacon. It?s huge. Really good

I decided to give 1097 Pub and Grill a try. I had been there about three months ago when it was known as 242. It was early dinner time, and I remembered that my favorite dish was the beer-battered fried shrimp. Although the shrimp was slightly different this time, it was still large with a crunchy batter. However, I was disappointed with the menu, which felt more like typical bar food. I've never seen mini corn dogs offered as a main entrée before. The mushrooms as an appetizer were good, though. I would only return for the fried shrimp. On a positive note, our server was very polite and attentive.
