"Step back into the Wild Wild West at this Katy institution that has been serving classic comfort food for almost 40 years. Order at the counter from the menu that features a Swiss mushroom burger, fried fish sandwich, shrimp tacos, and the signature chicken fried steak. There’s plenty of seating inside the saloon-like dining room but parents want to be on the back patio, where the kids can run free in the Old West Town front. There’s also a large sandbox and coin-operated ride-on machines." - Brianna Griff, Brittany Britto Garley

Today I came out for dinner with family for my daughter's birthday. I ordered the chicken fried chicken and for one the roll was cold and hard. The chicken was somewhat warm, the corn and potatoes were almost cold. The onion rings were greasy and had no taste. I am very disappointed but didn't want to mess it up for my daughter on her day.

10:10 recommend. Foods great and nice portions. Lid didn’t eat her kids meal but she loved the soup of the day enchilada tortilla soup or something. I got the hickory but Shannon 100/100 they forgot some stuff but I mean I’ll be back for sure and they got it right out Coleslaw is coleslaw it’s the creamy kind. 8/10 missing celery hut that my literal personal preference Country gravy with chicken fried chicken was good per my girl. 6/10. Cooked to perfection for sure but pretty bland. So just add some seasoning and hot sauce. Kiddo said grilled cheese was great I finished it can confirm. 20/10 The green beans are like boiled sugar snaps 100/10 Red beans &’ Rice 8/10 very good just not traditional Cajun red beans but delicious comfort food cooked kidneys and rice was good Soup was 10/10 Classic Texas toast and kraft cheese so. Tots were tots. Pretty good their bbq sauce is delicious and Smokey. Hailey the manager was amazing. Katy was great. I’ll be back for sure.

Nice place to eat. There was a long line. You order at the counter and they bring the food to the table. Drinks are self serve. It took 30 minutes to get crawfish and 2 burgers with fries. Crawfish was just OK, had a dry rib on the outside but no flavor inside. Burgers were good but $16 for burgers and fries ( drink not included) is a little pricy. They do have a large outdoor area for the kids to play and indoor/ outdoor seating as well. Parking is tight.

I've visited here 2xs & had a great experience. The food is delicious, flavorful, & tasty. The girls are very sweet, the environment is relaxed, it's a hige spacious restaurant, & it's so family oriented. It's also just as amazing 4 anyone alone, in date, or with groups. The restaurant is clean, the bathrooms are ckean, the craefish is 🔥 🔥🔥. The margaritas are delicious as well, great happy hour, but I do wish rhe glasses 4 em were bigger. THIS IS TEXAS👈🏽. THMhe process is super easy, the appetizer sampler is soooo good, the brownies are go die for, & so are chocolate chip cookies. So much room for kids, families, & couples go have fun gofetget, they have fans all over the place, which is 🔥 bc baby its hot in houston. 🌞 I can't handle the weather here in the south. 🤦🏽‍♀️ overall amazing. One server, a young lady, dark hair, gave me the most amazing convo, didn't know I needed it, & she blessed my heart. I pray 4 her, her journey, her path, & her kindness. She has q bright future. Ty 4 seeing me, acknowledge my character, morals, integrity, my compassion, & my beauty. 💜 she's a QUEEN. great job Clays!

Nice place to take your young ones. Lots of activities and other kids to play with. The food is mostly fried but they do give you the option for baked or boiled. Lots of seafood options but not impressed especially with the very high prices. If you’re willing to spend a lot of money to take your kids for some really enjoyable activities high priced mediocre food then this is your place. One thing to note, watch your kids because there are unsafe areas where your kids might get hurt. I did express to our server one particular area where the boards on the wooden ramp were missing causing a huge hazard for children. They fixed it the next day.

Jo is absolutely amazing. Great personality right off the bat. We go here often, especially during crawfish season, and she's amazing. Works her butt off, always supporting her team and her guests. We love Clays overall, the crawfish, the specials, the team, the environment, the intent of setting up for kid accommodations. Its an absolutely fantastic family friendly place. Its our kids absolutely favorite place.

Well Marline liked her crawfish.. I ordered a Roger burger, comes with jalapeños, it had 2 , the only thing I could taste was the mustard.. and I added tater tots , they gave me about 10… But my main complaint is the damn asking for a tip standing at the register as you pay!!! 18% for taking my order and someone brings our food and we get our own drinks? Register tipping should we banned
