Skeeter's Mesquite Grill

I could tell the personnel genuinely wish for their customers to enjoy a satisfactory experience. After a cycling journey, all I wanted was a good American hamburger and that is exactly what I received. The burger was delicious, they are frugal with the fries but they were sufficient. One of the employees was exceptionally kind and even offered to allow me to park my bicycle indoors after noticing me struggling to find an appropriate area outside. That was my second visit and I will do so again the next time I am nearby. There are places that serve so-called gourmet burgers exorbitantly yet do not offer the excellent level of service I received.

I’ve been a fan for over a decade since I first moved to Houston. Counter service and casual place that serves up great food at very reasonable prices.

I've been coming here for over 20yrs and commend them for their consistent. Great spot for a quick bite. I love any item with the fajita beef. T sip dip is a must anytime we come.

I was very surprised at the tacos I ordered were favorable. However, my wife pork chops were a little bland, but the fries and grilled vegetables made up for it. Great place to hang out with friends.

The workers were very rude. Our experience at skeeter's was not like it used to be. We came thinking it was very family friendly it was not. We got rushed to order. Other customers hogged tables & were very rude. I'm a new mom and thought it would be perfect. It was not. It's not like it used to be. Absolutely unacceptable. Food was okay.

The food was good, great awesome. The staff was very helpful, the management said. Hi, how you doing how my day was? I just had a great experience there. I'm coming i'm going back

Definitely gonna go back! Had the breakfast tacos and the beans were surprisingly fresh, good amount of eggs, bacon was cooked nice and crisp and the tortillas are made in house! The orange juice was fresh squeezed and my only real complaint is that the juice was 3.50 for a tiny cup and not really a full glass. 3 tacos with bacon, egg, cheese and beans plus the drink came out to about $12 and I was full!

Naomi is extremely a good manager, I have always suffered from going out to eat because my daughter is allergic to seafood and here we were able to feel comfortable because Naomi personally took care of my daughter's food, thank you Naomi !!!! I really appreciate it …

Wanted to try something different since I've lived out her for a year, so went to try Skeeters! They have tons of food options on the menu, even the pickiest of eaters could find something they like! I went with my boyfriend and sister, and we all got completely different things! I went for a safe bet and got the chicken tenders. They were actually really good! I've decided that this restaurant is a must for to go orders whenever I'm feeling lazy to drive far!

Food comes out fresh, right off the grill. Family friendly atmosphere. And staff are always polite.

I love the cheese burgers here. They are cooked to order. I miss the games they used to have.

Serving up fresh ingredients and Tex-Mex goodness to Houstonians since 1988. Enjoy our laid back atmo.

Skeeters did a great job of catering breakfast tacos for a party! The service was great: they let me order over the phone, sent me a digital receipt, and had the tacos ready on time. And the tacos were delicious: the flour tortillas were clearly homemade; the portions were generous; and the tacos tasted great!

I decided to try Skeeter's after probably 5 or more years. Gone, is the beef plate, but they still have just as an amazing rewards program as they've always had. If you join their rewards program, you get a free $5 welcome reward as well as a $10 birthday reward during your birthday month. I chose to use the latter. I ordered the small chips & queso, which cost $4.95 and came with a big basket of chips - I couldn't end up eating them all, and a cup of queso. The queso was hot & creamy and I even used some of it with my meal. They have several big screen TV's around to watch the game you're interested in. I ordered the grilled chicken dinner which comes with a grilled chicken breast, but as you can see in the photo came with another 1/3rd of a grilled chicken breast. The plate also came with borracho beans & rice and flour tortillas. The grilled chicken comes sizzling on a bed of onions - fajita style. The plate is usually $14.95 Everything was tasty & delicious and I would definitely be back. I also added a small drink for $2.95. Thanks, Skeeter's!

This review is for the breakfast buffet specifically. Despite what the website says, Skeeter's serves it from 8 AM (not 9) until Noon on Sundays, which I confirmed via a phone call to the restaurant. Me and a friend arrived a little past 10AM, and everything that was out was still hot and fresh! The buffet was placed a little awkwardly; one end is near the kitchen window where servers collect 'menu orders', so I was often dodging people on my way up to get food. This isn't helped by the fact that it's very dark inside the restaurant, and the dining room also becomes pretty cramped with the buffet in action. When it gets busy - and it will - you'll find yourself constantly looking for the least awkward way to squeeze past other tables. But at least the buffet includes a build-your-own omelette station; toppings include ham, bell peppers, mushrooms and cheese, plus more I probably can't remember. The guy running this station seems to have his own tip jar, so feel free to bring a couple of small bills up there while you wait for your order to be made, fresh in front of you. It only takes a minute, but as it is just one guy with a single burner, expect to see a line. The rest of the buffet is also well-stocked; meat options include some bacon (pretty fatty, didn't like this too much) and some pretty decent sliced smoked sausage. After this was a basket of their house-made tortillas, a metal server with two kinds of scrambled eggs (the 'special' eggs just seemed to have chopped tomato added?), and some chopped potatoes and grits. The grits were pretty bland - and the potatoes didn't look too appetizing, but were cooked with garlic and herbs and tasted better than they looked. Other carb options included tamales with refried beans on the side, pancakes and biscuits, with syrup and white gravy both being kept warm. And last of all was fresh fruit; the star of the show for me, with one of the best selections I've seen on a buffet! Three kinds of melon, pineapple, blueberries and strawberries. Drinks aren't included with the buffet, but there's a good variety of options. Regular or pecan hot coffee, three kinds of iced tea (sweet, unsweet, and unsweet blackcurrant), a soda fountain, and iced water is offered with added cucumber or lime, mint leaves and lemon wedges on the side. The only downside is there's an entirely separate dispenser for ice - and since we were provided with clear cups, it didn't work unless we waved our hands in front of the sensor. It was kind of hard to get used to and didn't work very well, either taking a few attempts to dispense anything at all or shooting out way too much. Overall, it was pretty good. A little over $15 (as of March 2023) gets you all-you-can-eat, and soft drinks are priced reasonably. It's not the most efficient setup - but if you're willing to deal with a few minor annoyances, arrive hungry, and it'll keep you going all the way until dinner!

Really love having this place as an option for a delicious lunch--not too expensive, clean tabletops (they put a large paper table "cloth" for each group) and the food items aren't too greasy. Plus, they have quite a few healthy options. Love the tacos!

The workers were very rude. Our experience at skeeter's was not like it used to be. We came thinking it was very family friendly it was not. We got rushed to order. Other customers hogged tables & were very rude. I'm a new mom and thought it would be perfect. It was not. It's not like it used to be. Absolutely unacceptable. Food was okay.

First time trying this place, my tacos were so good. the cashier was so helpful. Will be back.

Fun and timeless. The mesquite grill is unbeatable. Anything it touches will be good.

This place is one of my favs. The mesquite aroma inside is the best. My go to are the Baja tacos. My choice is grilled & I get 1 fish & 1 shrimp with grilled asparagus. The dish comes with chips and salsa too. Grab a large margarita & you're happy happy happy. My husband usually gets a burger. They use potato bread for the buns & made to order-delicious.

Great burgers, tacos, and margaritas, but interestingly enough also a fantastic grilled salmon entrée. One of the better casual family friendly places in town.

i was charged 5% for my freaking to go bag!!!!!!!! this is an all new low!!!! shame on you skeeters corporate!!! even the manager was embarrassed when i asked what this "paper fee" was!!!! never ever will i step foot in this place and will tell everyone i know!!!! thanks for taking advantage of the consumer!!! oh and the food was awful..fries were so soggy i couldn't eat but about 4 of them!!!

Not to be confused with Ski-ers (people who slide down mountains on metal poles and hurt themselves) or Seaters (people who sit you down... sometimes on them), or Sweeteners (Ari Grande albums). This is a friendly place serving Mesquite style food, which tastes pretty good, on the bland side of spiciness but still with a nice flavour. The Mesquite chicken is usually my go-to, and I eat it on days when I lift weights, and it's not bad. Having said that it could be a lot better. It's not my kind of food and it's a little bit on the expensive side. I also noticed that a lot of the reviews are fake, but this is Houston, and Houston Yelp for some reason is totally not taken care of by the powers-that-be and has more fake reviews than I've seen anywhere. So I can't hold it against them for doing what most of the other restaurants seem to be doing too. It's probably more like three stars but I bumped them up to 4 because of nice service.

Nice place, great remodel, haven't been here in years. Overall the food and service were good! I got the Two Tacos, (brisket and Baja shrimp) with French fries. The two tacos were served with chips and salsa. The tacos were both a nice size and plated well. Let's start with the Baja Shrimp! Shrimp were jumbo and fried with just the right amount of batter. They were fried hot and fresh. Had a dollop of avocado, shredded cabbage, and corn on a corn tortilla. Good but dry, needed more sauce. The Brisket taco was good. Brisket, a sauce, cabbage on flour with a dollop of avocado. The brisket was dry, not juicy and not hot. This taco was also a little dry and needed more sauce and juicy brisket. Fries were hot and fresh!

This place has great food and provides good customer service. Additionally, they have a TV where Astros baseball game. This place has such a cool vibe! It's got a great relaxed atmosphere, though it can get a little noisy sometimes with all the fun stuff.

This is a reliable spot. The service and food is always good. Always easy to get in and out.It is a local spot that you see local people and is kid friendly. They have a few screens and a light bar. Overall I do recommend and would visit again.

Yikes. We ordered breakfast from here one day and it looked decent from the images, but to our surprise it was far from it. The food was lacking taste and very much resembled food that comes out of the freezer rather than being fresh. The biscuit was hard as a rock and the gravy was plastic looking. We were not impressed with the food at this restaurant.

We are always excited to eat here, it's been my mom's favorite for the past couple of years. We ordered a Mesquite Cheeseburger with onion rings oops have were out so opted for sweet potatoes fries and side of chips and queso. The food arrived with a ice cold bun and meat the shape of a meatball and raw sweet potatoes fries and the cheese dip was watery, disappointing. I sent it back and some lady was also having an issue with her salad. The customer service was kinda like they were doing me a favor! I enjoy that type of open restaurant setting that's why we Go!!

We have been customers ever since they opened. The best food, employees, margaritas, and atmosphere! We LOVE Skeeters!

I ordered a salad and burger to go. It took 30 minutes for the order. The staff could have cared less and were rude. When we got home, the salad greens were old and wilted, and the burger was obviously microwaved.

Skeeter's is the OG spot in West U for all things nostalgia and good. It's like warm hug for locals. From the cheerful greeting when you walk in to the kids running around, to the paper tablecloths to the fountain drinks being used for none other than "The Suicide" #IYKYK this place never fails for good old fashioned Tex-Mex comfort food. The grilled chicken salad is so good (but better with fried chicken tenders of course), paired with a small chili con queso and a frosty marg, your Saturday will start or end on a great note. Bring friends, bring kids, bring grandma, it's a spot for everyone. Cheers!

Moved away so was excited to come back to Skeeters. What a difference two years makes. Grilled chicken came our sizzling, popping out grease onto me and my outfit. I tried to cover it with napkins. It would not stop. I have had griddles before and have never been burned by it. Also the rice was burned, manager says that always happens. He brought me extra rice, thank you. But issue was i paid $29.00 for dinner and suffered thru it. AND I WAS STARVING!! Also, our $5 beef taco was full of grizzle so there went that. Gee, you used to do better than this. DO BETTER!! I remember better!!

Great for ordering in breakfast! Not sure about for lunch though... GOOD: The breakfast is well priced, their peppered bacon is amazing, and you won't leave hungry. BAD: Their lunch and dinner portions are disappointing, and they have a strong mesquite flavor(hence the name), and when ordering fruit sometimes it feels like you are getting the bottom of the barrel. Give the a go for breakfast, probably skip it for lunch.

Ordered the fish tacos for takeout, I was very pleased! Purple coleslaw added a nice crunch. The meal was nicely prepared and service was spot-on. Parking is easy in the large Michael's strip center.

Best chicken quesadillas ever! Thanks Joseph (manager) for always making us feel like family!

No customer first friendly service! Robotic when answering phone and picking up... even a long term frequent customer they treat like they've never seen you or heard your voice. a ZERO in customer relationships. Food is pretty good. Good luck if they answer the phone, and they really don't care if you hang up and order elsewhere. I don't get it, very sad to have the potential for so much business and fall so short. Where is the ownership or management? Never present. How can a business preform so poorly and treat customers so neglectful and still cash out at the end of the day?

Food always great and was perfect today. Had a lil hiccup but the manager took care of us professionally and swiftly. Thank you for your kindness.

This place never disappoints. I've been going here for the past few weeks every week with our office staff and they frequent this place since it's quick service and the portions are just the right amount. I love that their tacos come with chips and salsa since some places don't offer a side to accompany their tacos. Their breakfast taco is yummy and it's not even the eggs and bacon...it's the TORTILLA that really makes the taco. It's really soft and huge and I think that's what makes it taste even better. Their fried fish tacos are really yummy too. These are the only items that I have been ordering these past few weeks. I highly recommend this place if you work around the area and don't have much time to spare for lunch since they are pretty fast. We have also ordered to-go before too and they provided a bunch of chips and salsa to accompany our tacos!

I love this place. The food is amazing and so is the customer service. I highly recommend the lemon kale salad and katie's t-sip dip.

It was ok. I didn't have an out of this world experience, but it wasn't bad. Food: So I ordered the Baja fish taco and the fajita beef taco. The beef taco came with bell peppers, cheese, onions, and pico de Gallo. The meat had good flavor. The best part of the taco was the homemade tortilla. Although the taco was good, it's not like I'm craving it the next day. The Baja fish taco came with fish, cabbage, and avocado. My friend ordered the shrimp taco that came with this chipotle sauce and I decided to put some in my taco and it made it so much better. So maybe ask for that sauce because the taco would have been really plain without it. Service: The food took FOREVER. Atmosphere: Overall a pretty cute ambiance. Except we did see 3 bugs. It wasn't bad but I probably will not be coming back here anytime soon. Fajita Beef taco: 3.5 stars Baja fish taco: 4 stars Atmosphere: 2.5 stars Service: 3 stars

Clean place, order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Get your own drinks, everything is self serve, I love this style of dining. Didn't know what to expect but the food was pretty good! I got the chicken enchiladas and asked for green sauce and it was enormous! Hearty portions and it was only 10.95!! I'd like to come back and try more food. There is plenty of parking also since it is located in a shopping center.

Fine for eating in but takeout had been wrong last few times. Today it was forgetting the dipping sauce for the chicken tenders. Last time it was adding black beans when the order was no black beans. For $25 plus tip for a salad and chicken tenders they could be bothered to check the order.

My boyfriend and I were shopping across the street and he was starving so we decided to dine here. We walked in and there was a counter to the left. We ordered at the counter and they gave us a number. Drinks, condiments and utensils are self service. My boyfriend had the Mesquite Fried Pork Chop-He said he was pretty good. He wasn't a fan of the huge pineapple slice on the pork chop so he put it to the side. I had the Deluxe Chicken Skeeter-It's a grilled chicken breast patty with pepper jack cheese, avocado and bacon. I asked for no bacon. I subbed regular fries for sweet potato fries. Honestly, I didn't see the "wow" factor in this meal. I would have been satisfied with a Chick-Fil-A meal for less. The customer service was great and the gentleman behind the counter made suggestions since we were first timers.

Five stars hands down!!! Excellent food fabulous customer service!! I hav no complaints five stars deserved!!

Great menu from my favorite lemon kale salad to pork chop and asparagus. Also a nice open patio with sunset views

I came here for lunch and the manager Joseph was very great with healing me navigate the menu to find a low carb option. He even came by the table to check and make sure everything came out great. Good job Skeeters we will be back for sure !

This was the first restaurant I ate at when I came to Houston. I fell in loveeeee!!! Small, friendly slower traffic restaurant. Menu has wide variety. These are far by the best quesadillas I have ever had. They had the perfect ratio of chicken and cheese and they were thick but not too thick. Not too greasy but lots of flavor! I highly recommend.

I didn't know the restaurant.After I started Uber Eat delivery job, i happened to know the restaurant.I was ready to eat instead of delivery. I ordered the food online.The location was great.I didn't worry about the parking spots. When I arrived, the food was not ready.there were a lot of television.I could kill time with NBA basketball game on the television. It looked like a sports bar.But usually, there were many family.This was very family friendly restaurant.I got food.It was Taco carbon. Very Tex-Mex food.I liked it. I think that Skeeter's are very family friendly restaurant!

Been coming here for YEARS! Absolutely never a letdown! I'm your typical "never knows what to eat" gal and Skeeters is definitely my safety net lol! **Definitely recommend the chicken enchiladas and the loaded potato!

OMG! Michael and his Frozen Mimosas have been the highlight of my week! If I could be in a relationship with these Frozen Mimosas... I would! I could show this Frozen Mimosa a good time. I love coming here after work!

Called my order in and had to wait another 15 minutes when I got there. Then they still didn't make my order right. I'm sitting here waiting with my sick daughter and the food wasn't even made correctly. I'm starving and now in a horrible mood because a burger couldn't be found?! How do you not know where my order is and then when you find the cold food that's been sitting there you still try to give it to me. Ridiculously poor service.

Im in the Skeeter's neighborhood and order healthy to go 2-3 times a week usually Farm Chicken salad. Great Off The Menu Option to salad is for what I call "Green Taco" Flour tortilla, beef or chicken fajitas, little bit of cheese on meat, spring salad & kale mix & green dressing on side. Amazing fresh & healthy option to everything in the neighborhood! Ask the Manager Michael to make it happen!

Went for the first time in a while. Ordered the chicken tender plate, which is more than enough for two people. Requested the fries to be extra, extra crispy with no salt. Meal came out after about 15 minutes and the fries were very limp. Requested them to be made over ... by the time they brought them, we were almost done with our chicken tenders. Wish they had made the fries correctly the first time, 'cause the second time, the fries were awesome.

Skeeter's on Weslayan is one of the most consistent and enjoyable restaurants that I frequent. The staff are always friendly. I have really enjoyed the various entrees I have ordered: breakfast tacos are always made to order and hit the spot; the skeeter Kabob with the grilled vegetables is excellent; and the dinner/lunch tacos come with chips and salsa. They are always changing around their beer list to have new local and regional craft beers on tap. The interior is kept clean and tidy, they have a number of TVs so it makes it an underrated spot to watch a game, especially if a Houston team is playing.

Hands down, Skeeters makes the best margaritas! My husband and I pop in often for dinner and a frozen margarita. A few of my favorites dinner choices are the steak or carnitas tacos and the Southwestern bowl. My husband loves their grilled chicken sandwich with chips and queso. This is an unbeatable spot for casual, sit down dining with family or friends!

Decent food. Quick and easy counter service. Really poor music system. Sounds like a tiny radio in a coffee can. Tinny. Music playlist just awful...

This is what $5 in queso looks like to go. Not even a fourth of what's given at the restaurant. Total rip-off.

A friend of mine who had been going here since she was a kid talked up this neighborhood restaurant and the experience left me uninspired. The place has a bit of an identify crisis based on where you sit... at some times you feel like you are in a sports bar with it's multiple TVs and beer / frozen margs on tap. From other angles looking into the open kitchen and sipping on cucumber water it may be some sort of posh cafe vibe. It's a little something for everyone, both the place itself and the menu. I had the bacon blue cheese burger with onion rings. For about $12 the price is good, but the burger was very average. The bacon was great, but the patty thin and overdone for my tastes. The onion rings were boring with little flavor beyond grease with that store bought frozen out of the bag vibe to them.
