Conroe Lake House

We stopped here on a rainy day after flooding in the area forced us to change plans. The restaurant wasn’t busy at the time, and the waterfront views were nice—even on a gloomy day. I can imagine it being much more enjoyable on a clear day, especially with the outdoor seating and live music they offer. There was no wait. One downside was the noise level. Even without a crowd, it was extremely loud and made conversation difficult. Seating felt tight as well—tables are small and better suited for groups of two to three, maybe four at most. Larger groups feel cramped. Service was okay, and plating was decent, though not standout. The bathrooms appear to be newly remodeled, but they are still very small. Given the location right on the water, I can understand why reservations might be necessary during peak times. The setup is convenient for boaters and those spending the day on the water. The food was good but nothing particularly memorable. If you’re local or already in the area, it’s a fine option, but it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way to visit. We would return if we were nearby—preferably on a nicer weather day. Considering this is a recreational, waterfront community spot, adding more kid-friendly options would be a great improvement and could enhance the overall experience for families.

This place has some of the worst service i have ever received in my life. Food was absolutely cold after waiting over an hour for it. I ordered chips and queso and the cheese was so cold it was hard. Bland seasoning— burger had little to no seasoning at all. Only seasoned for looks , NO flavor.

We had the best dinner ever with Abbie. She made the night so much fun! The views were beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. Highlights: the sampler appetizer (those boudin balls & mozzarella sticks were AMAZING), Shrimp on the Barbie with sweet potato fries, and the Fried Fish Entree. Don’t skip the cookie skillet dessert! Ask for Abbie, you won’t be disappointed!

Great view of the lake! Food is good and service too. At happy hour margarita is great...I like a lot the cookies with ice cream, it is prepared at the moment!

This place was absolutely delicious! Probably can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! They also have a puppy menu! Cutest thing ever. Rachel was our server— very personable & did a great job. Kept our drinks filled. Checked on us often. Thanks, Rachel!!

I had the double cut pork chop and OMG it was the best pork chop I have ever had. It was tender and juicy. I am extremely picky so that says a lot. The pork chop is huge I took 2/3rds of it home. My husbands shrimp however was over cooked and chewy but his fish was cooked perfect. The live entertainment was excellent. Would definitely drive 2 hours to eat here again and enjoy the entertainment. The waitress was excellent. All the staff was very friendly.

Great atmosphere - a popular gathering for for locals. There were two large Birthday parties going on while I was there and everyone was having a great time. I had the Hangover burger - I can't resist a burger with a Sunnyside-up egg!

The only reason I gave it a 3 was for the view. Our server was great. Food was fair. We chose to eat outside and about 8 servers spent about 25 minutes moving tables and metal benches to prepare evidently for a big party coming in later…. instead of working as a team and lifting the furniture they loudly scraped and dragged them into place making the most God awful cacophonous sounds that I thought would never stop. They were all oblivious to the fact that people nearby were trying to enjoy their meal and the view. We were going to order dessert but decided to leave. Emily was a good server. Won’t come back.

The shrimp boil is fantastic! If you get a chance to come by make sure and ask for Kaley- awesome service ! Greta job Dren !

The only thing this place has going for it is its lakefront view. The drinks are below par, and the food is very overpriced. I definitely wouldn't come back unless it was just for the water views. There is both outdoor and indoor seating, with large fans outdoors during the hot summer days. I got a michelada and a Bloody Mary, and both were subpar and tasted watery. Service was fair, but our server didn't seem particularly friendly.

We always have a great experience here! Celebrating my daughter's confirmation, we had a group of 14..the service was outstanding!! Sitting outside with the beautiful view of the Lake...my daughter loved the crawfish boil..everything else was spot on! Can't wait to go back!!!

Came here in a Thursday night in December to celebrate a birthday! It was quiet that night but I'm sure the weekends, there's always a crowd. Very large portions for such a good price. I couldn't decide on what to eat so I ordered the Lake House Sampler. Loved the fried mozzarella but could've done without the fried pickle spears. Other items tried include the brisket potato, wings, smokehouse burger, and shrimp tacos. No complaints! It was a chilly night but when it gets warmer, I'll be back to sit outside and enjoy the views of the lake !

Just out exploring and decided to grab a drink and stayed for lunch. great atmosphere, friendly service, lunch was delicious.

Stopped for lunch on a whim and glad we did! The view is awesome! Our lunch was great. The mozzarella sticks are homemade and huge! Fish tacos were also outstanding. Staff were super friendly and helped us decide what to order because it all looked good!

Blackened Shrimp Tacos 2/5 overall. Shrimp 2/5. Toppings 2/5. Tortillas 2/5. Size & Value 2/5. The shrimp were alright but they are pretty big, only about 3 per taco. They also tasted a little shrimpy which seafood should not, especially with blackened and all those toppings. Toppings were okay, not a big fan of the slaw they put in there. Overall ok would be my takeaway. Excellent and fast service though!

My family and I went in to try out Conroe Lake House for an early lunch one afternoon. There was very few people in the restaurant when we walked in and were seated. We ordered around of beers and Bloody Mary's as we checked out the menu. We made our selections, Hang Over Burger, Southwest Burger, Fish Tacos and Brisket Grilled Cheese sandwich. What struck us all right off was that the waitress who was very nice had to keep going back to check on the availability of most of the items we ordered, both drinks and food. Now this place just opened and they really should not have been out of much at 11 am but the person in charge didn't seem to think this was abnormal. When we did receive our food, it was all very good in terms of taste and presentation and we really enjoyed our meals although the service was a bit spotty at times. The other thing that we noticed was that our table and several others near by were really dirty. Dirty as if they had not cleaned up properly from the night before. A couple of weeks later, my wife and I returned to have a burger and few beers and give them another try. Again the food was really good, but our waitress and the service as very poor. She spent more time hanging around the bar and did not seem very interested in taking care of her customers even though they were not that busy. We really enjoyed the food and the view of the lake, but being out of so many items and the poor service will probably keep us from coming back in the future.

Have tried over and over because I wanted it to be good. Unfortunately this place is terrible. Slow slow sand slow. The glasses are dirty and taste like cleaner. The food is not seasoned any more and comes out room temp. Servers are over extended and drinks sit at the bar until ice melts and beer gets warm. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Very nice location and great view and atmosphere. Staff seems very nice and attentive, we were very happy with Kristina, she is so helpful and very nice bartender. The only complaint for me was the portions, small for the price.

Stopped in for the Fourth of July. Figured it would be busy. Not too long of a wait to get the table. The waitress took our drinks fairly quick with the beers coming out first. The rest of the drinks had about half of them wrong but not worth arguing. The fried mozzarella came out fairly quickly. They were the best part. Each one was a good size. I had ordered the blackened shrimp on the Barbie. My food being "warm" was a stretch. The sweet potato fries had more of a warm to them. Overall I'd stick with apps. Overall the feel is what you'd expect for a restaurant on the water. Watch your step if you use the stairs.

This place has the best views money can buy, with excellent staff and waiters but I couldn't find anything on the menu that looked good so I went with the 2lbs of crawfish and added shrimp and snow crabs. They were good but the sauce was not flavorful enough and way too salty. Maybe I should have a burger next time? ‍

terrible burger. I had the hang over burger, no seasoning at all, and the sunny side up egg was over hard. meat cooked to grey color all the way thru. they need to get an expo person who will actually monitor the quality of food coming out of that. atmosphere and service were very good.

After temp and humidity moderated we were excited to have lunch on the patio. Great view of lake activity, service was excellent and food was very good ( boudin egg rolls and fish tacos). The only downside was the music was so loud you couldn't talk to each other. Asked to have it turned down but still not pleasant for us. Love this place and will be back if they dial down the music. Daytime it should be a peaceful lakeside pleasure not a late nite blast your troubles away!

Love the mozzarella cheese sticks OMG! So many different types of burgers, including a turkey burger that was out of this world. Tonight had an amazing band called Stones and More w/ my friend Paul from Pilates!! Great music venue. Indoor and outdoor seating. They even have entrées for your pets. Even though it was extremely busy, staff was available and attentive.

Great location, beautiful views great atmosphere, inside and outside seating available. Seated quickly at dinner time on a Saturday night around 6pm, great friendly staff however we had the flat bread pizza which was not great, the mozzarella sticks were good and dad had the wings. If you want a good place to for the atmosphere this is great it's just that the food was just average.

Our server Ashley was great. Food and view was great. I've had mixed reviews in the past but everything was very good and will definitely recommend

We went there Sunday evening to relax, eat, and drink. We could not tolerate the loud, Mexican and rap music the DJ was playing. We complained to the waitress and she said, "He does his own thing!" We took our business elsewhere.

I've been here before with my mom on lunch. We had the shrimp tacos and friend shrimp. They were good then. Tonight, I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday and what a difference. He ordered the large Bloody Mary and I can honestly say it was the worst Bloody Mary mix I've ever tasted. I'm not sure what it was, but it wasn't it. I ordered the bbq glazed salmon and it was so overcooked, I could barely get my fork through it. My boyfriend ordered the shrimp platter. The shrimp were so overcooked and rubbery, it looked fake. The best part about the meal was the pineapple coleslaw and the waitress being kind about the entire situation. After she removed the two meals off our tab it was STILL $82. 2 drinks, a side salad, and appetizer with tip. This place is nice but it's not worth it. Will not be back.

This place was okay. The food was okay. We were in a large group and the service was pleasant. But I can't say I would go back.

Stumbled onto the Lake House on a Thursday night and lucked into $19.99 crab steam pots, which were perfectly seasoned and just the right size. Followed up dinner with the key lime pie for us and ice cream for the kids. My only problem is that we live too far away to come more often!

Ambiance was very good and band was great but food was bad experience. Will try again to order differently.

I wanted to update my review. We went here a few times and the service was terrible. Went today and was service by Emma. She was great. Might give this place another go after the service we received today.

The first time I visited here on a Saturday night and we sat inside, I ordered spicy crawfish and it came out at lightning speed! Our waitress was nice but visibly very busy as there were quite a lot of tables. The crawfish was cooked well, tasted great and $10/lb. We also got a flatbread that was good but nothing fantastically noteworthy. Food was good, view even from inside was good, a DJ outside, atmosphere was nice inside and party outside, service was good for how busy they were. The second time we sat outside on a Saturday afternoon. Our waitress was nice but again was very busy, to the point she seemed to rush a bit too much. Crawfish took a normal amount of time to come out but we also ordered a grilled Cheese that took over 30 minutes for someone else, not our waitress, to come out and say that "the kitchen lost the ticket". A few minutes later we had to remind our waitress of the grilled cheese and that someone came out to ask what he had ordered and my son was still missing his fruit cup. She was very confused and began asking who it was that came out and what they said. About 5 minutes later the grilled cheese finally came out. It was very good, though not worth the wait and price. I would like to try a weekday and see the atmosphere and if there's a better service quality when it's not so hectically busy. The prices make it more of an occasional type of place to eat more for the atmosphere on a weekend night than just because the food is good.

New management, employees are happier and the service is much better. Also railing has been added to keep people from falling into the water. The ranch water is... terrible! Food is good, play area for the kids. Perfect spot to pull up on the boat and eat!

Great time family enjoyed view and food. Service good Live music band I would recommend and comeback!

Oh where do I start?? Yuck! Flies everywhere, un-trained wait staff and the food no words! Dried chicken breast and Caesar wrap that had paprika on it? Nasty! Chips and salsa how can you mess that up? The salsa was orange and had zero taste. We spent $100 and had to come home and order pizza. We will not be back save your money go somewhere else!

There were 6 of us on 7/21 for dinner. We went early to ensure we could get a seat inside since the weather was so HOT. Our waitress, Alexa, was so fun and very helpful! She never let us sit too long without coming by to see if we needed anything. My sandwich was awesome along with some great sweet potato fries. My husband had a seafood platter and enjoyed it as well. Next time I want to stay a little later so we can enjoy the performer! This place gets busy so go early if you can!

Love this place it's fun, has great food , good entertainment. Right on the lake, if you're in your boat you can dock right there.

Beautiful breezy weather off the lake blew in a big crowd Saturday afternoon. We found a couple of PAW friendly chairs around the bar and enjoyed beer and chips. Really excellent salsas arrived soon after, but hey, RELAX! Not sure why anyone would rush the service when you have this view. Lots for kids to do and people to watch. Parking is an issue if you cannot walk a few blocks.

We went here for the first time on Saturday with mixed results. The hostess was up front when she said the kitchen was behind and food was taking about an hour to come out. But it was a beautiful day and we decided to sit outside and just enjoy the weather while we waited. I appreciated the advance notice. We order two beers and the boudin egg rolls. The appetizer came out in about 20 min and we had put our lunch order in when she brought his beer. The egg rolls were delicious and a nice twist on boudin. We both enjoyed the dipping sauce. Thankfully I had asked for water as well since my beer still hadn't arrived. The problems arose when lunch came out, in about the hour estimated. I ordered a wrap, which was delicious, but my fries were cold. My husband's smokehouse burger was completely cooked - but also cold. Our waitress did check in with us, and when we told her the burger was cold, she immediately offered to comp the burger or have it remade. Given that they were packed, and we don't like to waste food, we agreed to let her comp the burger. While they seemed well staffed with servers and were clearly working hard, the kitchen either needs more staff or some time management training. I did eventually get my beer right as lunch came out, so that was fine, and our server was a very nice young woman who was really working hard to serve all her tables. Since we really only had issues with the one food item, we're willing to go back and hope they address their kitchen issues. Despite the cold burger, the view can't be beat and the rest of the food was delicious.

The food was amazing!!! The brisket was so tender and the French fries were so tasty!! Sav was so nice and so helpful and got us everything we needed as fast as she could! I will definitely be coming back this place it was amazing!

New ownership.. Same old problems of slow service for both food and drinks. The only reason for 2 star is the mozzarella cheese stick appetizer was good as well as crawfish. Problem was it took forever to get the crawfish and apparently the rest of the food and drinks we ordered sat in the window waiting for the crawfish to cook because the food was cold and the drink was melted. Like other reviews have said they want to like the place and they have good views. I know it's very hard to get staff and that may have been the problem but when you don't get any communication you get to decide it out for yourself. The new owners also own moonshiners, combined your staff and focus on one restaurant until you figure out how to make one good one

I usually don't have great things to say about service here, I love coming here bc of the playground for my son so I usually just accept the amateur service. We have been coming here for over a year, today being a weekend I really didn't want to come because that's the busiest and when the worst service happens HOWEVER. Riley was absolutely amazing. She checked on our table multiple times while juggling her other tables. Had the best attitude and such a friendly person, Riley definitely needed to train a lot of the other servers here especially when it comes to personality and table checking. This is the FIRST waitress I've actually liked and can appreciate her effort and great service. I am a server myself so when it comes to complaining you really have to just not know how to do your job to make me unhappy. I was surprised how great my service was to today and definitely will be coming back eager to ask for Riley!

Well,welll. Here we are on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We ordered our food over 30 minutes ago and our server just informed us it will be another 30 minutes. Do you not prepare for a beautiful day on the lake? The only response is "the kitchen is really backed up"

Dont waste your time. The food may be be better but you will wait over an hour to get It. They dont have enough servers and apparently not enough cooks. We left after 2 hours and my husband and son still didn't have their food. They are over priced and the service and wait time are HORRIBLE!!

We are from Michigan, and visiting for a Dance convention. Tried this restaurant on the lake and it was amazing. Enjoyed the view and the food. Appreciated the service too.

Love the ambiance. Kayla was very attentive and gave great feedback on items on the menu.

Cute place but they need to update their info online. Recently under new ownership and menu is more bar food than dinner entrees. Playground and places to take pics outside are nice and lake views.

We went to Conroe Lake House for the first time, and we absolutely loved it. It is super kid friendly, pet friendly, and the food is amazing. The prices are unbeatable. Our service was impeccable, we didn't have to ask for a refill once! We sat outside as it was evening time and were able to watch our kids play as we listened to the live band (which was great)! You can watch the boats from the covered patio area outside which my kids loved:-) We will definitely be going back!!

Horrid. Fried foods, horrible management! Food was terrible, overpriced, same vibe as restaurant before with higher prices.

A terrific spot for a pretty day. You just can't beat the view this place provides! On a busy day we didn't have too long of a wait for a table. Our waitress was very sweet, she was knowledgeable on the menu and quick to get our order in. I had a burger, she asked me how I wanted it cooked but unfortunately it wasn't prepared to my request. It was good but cooked unevenly so I didn't finish it all. Their fries are not my favorite, very basic but overall just a normal fry. The brisket sandwich met expectations and held up surprisingly well! They have a decent sized parking lot and waiting area for the busy days.

I'm here now and might be deaf by the time I leave. Huh? What? Stereo must be on 11. Second Star for the beautiful day.

We had an unfortunate experience here tonight. It's a Friday night and the parking lot is full. We've been here before and had no qualms returning. My husband and I both ordered a burger and fries. We got our food quickly, but as soon as we took our first bites, we both had the same thought, the burgers were not at all fresh. I took about 3 bites and hit a bone chip. My meal ended. My husband was a trooper, he kept going. He had powered thru the first half, despite the flavor. Then he bit into a bone chip. Very unfortunate. We got our server, Ellie to get us our check. It seemed obvious to me that we didn't like our burgers, but she didn't even ask. I don't know about that, I know I would definitely ask if everything was alright. Part of me thinks she didn't ask because she already knew. Even the water was nasty. We both ordered waters , but after my first taste, we ordered other drinks. The atmosphere is fun, the location is wonderful and the prices are ballpark for the area. I would not recommend burgers, or anything to drink that is water based

What an amazing location for a restaurant on the lake! They had a huge outdoor area with a playground, a dog park, some cornhole, a little beach so you can swim, and they also had a stage for music as well as plenty of outdoor seating and a bar outside. The inside was SUPER cute! The menu was very much "Texas" inspired with queso, tacos, brisket, and chicken fried steak and chicken. I really liked my shrimp tacos, my husband had the grilled cheese with brisket, and my kids loved theirs meals, too. We will absolutely be spending more time here. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars was because it took a VERY long time to get our food, and they gave us drinks in red solo cups (my guess is their cups haven't arrived from restaurant supply?). Our waitress seemed inexperienced, but she was very sweet. Overall, these aren't reasons for us not to come back.

Outdoor chairs are booty and the sampler was kinda mid. Also not a lot of seafood options. Didn't have to wait long to sit down or for food. Parking was awful tho.

We visited this past Saturday, 3/26. The place was hopping! They have a great setup to wait, with a playground for the kids and an outside bar. Win win. Our wait time wasn't bad, ~45 minutes or so on a Saturday afternoon at 5:45. I felt like the crew did a good job seating people as quickly as they could. After being seated, our table had been "cleaned" but not actually cleaned. There were no dishes or anything on the table, but it was dirty. We wiped the table and booths down with a baby wipe we had in our diaper bag. The kids ordered a flatbread pizza & the Mac & Cheese. Both were solid. Us adults orders crawfish as well as the peel & eat shrimp. The shrimp was seasoned well but overcooked. The crawfish on the other hand had very little seasoning. A solid indicator for the season is always the potatoes and corn, they soak up the boil well. The potatoes were bland, no seasoning at all. They were sold out of corn. Their menu says crawfish served with corn, potatoes & melted butter. When you order, all of them are charged separately, they are not included with the crawfish. We left there with a big "meh" feeling, but it was specifically because of the crawfish. We will likely dine in again, just sticking to the main menu. Several of the items passing us while being served looked great.

The ambience gets a 5 star. Service a 4. But the food gets a 1-2. Worst fried calamari I ever had. Think it was frozen baked and tossed on the plate. Chicken sandwich meh not as good as fast food. And the salmon was just ok but for $24 I expect much more than ok. Will not be back unless go for a drink ambience and maybe an appetizer that is less difficult like nachos.

I'd like to start this out on a positive note and say the vibes were almost immaculate. A great place for kids and families, as it has a playground area, live music last night (Friday) and a stunning view of the lake. This place has an immense amount of potential to be the best restaurant around. Now for the rest... The service was some of the worst I've experienced in years. The waitress must've been having a horrible day because not only was she not attentive whatsoever, but I'm not sure she smiled once. Not to be too nit-picky but as someone who worked in the service industry for years, a little hospitality goes a long way. Our calamari got spilled on the way out and we never received the other half that we were promised (to make up for what was on the patio floor from the order). I get it, stuff happens, but at least be aware that your tables aren't being taken care of. Next, the food was borderline inedible. We ordered a bunch of different things from the menu. The kiddo had the mini corndogs and they were fine, as well as the potato wedges. The "flatbread" was a mushy, doughy, cheesy mess. Not what I'd expect AT ALL. The garlic parmesan wing sauce was pretty icky, as well. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was soggy and stale. The half of the calamari we were able to enjoy was pretty good, though! The deep fry cooks are good at their job but that's about it. This is longer than I intended it to be but, that's my genuine feelings. I'm not sure I'll be back unless I hear that the menu gets adjusted.
