Wet Deck Bar & Grill

Will eat here any day they are open, from steak night to when the power goes out. These wonderful people have done outstanding job with a local bar on the water. Highly recommend the live bands on Friday or Sunday. Great place to watch the race and the game. Always amazing bar service from the ladies. The owner will even chat with you which makes you feel even more welcomed.

We Tried out the Wet Deck Bar & Grill for the first time today and really enjoyed the food and service here. You can’t beat the view of lake Livingston while devouring excellent local food. Can’t wait to come back for more cold beers and some delicious food

The burgers are fresh and delicious! We were passing through from Arkansas. Megan is an excellent server! The deck and atmosphere are great!

I discovered the Wet Deck Bar almost 6 months ago and now try to go as often as possible. Don’t expect a Michelin Star restaurant. But you can surely expect a fun, friendly Texas bar and restaurant with great music and welcoming staff. The Wet Deck Bar is a Texas Bar Restaurant for locals, the atmosphere is among the best in Livingston; games (darts, pool, etc) are available inside. Depending on the day you visit, you may find Karaoke, a live band, or simply great country music to enjoy. The food is good. The hamburgers are very good. The bartenders and the waitresses are always welcoming and helpful. They make this place magical. But you need to know your way around. You may wait to be attended at the table, or just go to the bar and order. You may come to the window and order too. Someone will always help you for sure. Promised! The patio deck has an amazing view of the sunset while at the lake. I have driven to the Bar and there is plenty of parking available. Most of the times I sail across the lake, anchor, and use the dinghy to dock. There is plenty of room for docking. I love this place. I will keep coming again and again to the WDB when around Livingston. The place is captivating. The best way to feel local and welcomed.

Just recently moved back to Livingston here by the lake so the restaurant is about 1 min from the house. Finally decided to give it a try and so far its the best burger I've had in town. Only other thing I tried is a club sandwich, it was good and was decent size. Nice to sit out on the patio and look at the water if I dont feel like doing delivery. The live music is great and the crowds I have seen there was just good folk enjoyin the day. Nice to have somewhere like this in Livingston, didnt used to be anywhere to go!

Visited December 2023. The building is clean and spacious...the dance floor is just the concrete floor, but it's very smooth (lots of dancers tonight). Staff was friendly, and the service was good. Porta potties were clean. The sisters' grill food truck was a tad bit pricey, but the mushroom burger and nachos were delicious! I didn't have alcohol so I don't know about the prices. We were there at night and when it was raining so we didn't get to enjoy the big, wet deck.... they said they have bands outside when the weather is nice, so that is definitely something to watch for.

I’ve been here twice with my MC—great views of the lake, well-priced food with huge portions, and everything we have all tried has been very good. The staff is very friendly, and the place is clean. It’s a great spot to enjoy time with friends on the weekend.

We were there for late lunch. Tried the seafood sampler which had catfish, shrimp, hush puppies, fries and crab cakes. Catfish is good the rest is ok. Atmosphere and band is good. We sat outside in the covered area but it was so hot we wished they had overhead fans. If you have someone in your party in a wheelchair, their bathroom is not up to accessible standard. There wasn't enough room to maneuver the wheelchair and shut the door. There weren't any grab bars either. So the person in wheelchair need to get out of the wheelchair with nothing to hang on to, leave the wheelchair in the sink area which then blocks the path to the 2nd stall. Service was ok. We had to clean our table first since it was full of cigarette ashes from the ash tray. Then clear our table before we left. We may come back for a drink just for the lale view but not stay for too long.

Awesome bacon cheeseburger! The fish sandwich was huge and very fresh Service is quick and friendly - the kind of place you go to again and again. The only thing that can approach the food is the gorgeous view of Lake Livingston from the shaded deck with an ice cold beer in your hand. We'll definitely be back

Wet deck is a fun atmosphere dive bar perfect for lake life. Come as you are. Menu has a good selection of bar food (hot wing, burgers, grilled cheese, hot dogs). Located right on the lake with beautiful sunset views. They bring in live music and have karaoke nights. Bar has pool tables, darts, and other classic games for a fun filled night!!

This probably one of the best bar joints in Livingston. A huge bonus is if you're out of the lake & every one is starving you car pull your boat over and pick up your order! It's lovely during the weeknights but can get a little rowdy as the drinks are flowing but despite that the wet deck is a bar they have excellent burgers! Actually we haven't had anything yet that we didn't love! Not super expensive and portions are big!

Great restaurant with a dock so boat access Also great drinks good food and friendly staff

The chicken salad is the best I think I have ever eaten. This is mostly a bar environment but the food is very good and worth your time. Love music on the weekends. The wait staff is very attentive and they take great care of each other's tables when needed.

We have lived in the Livingston area for some time and never had a chance to go to the Wet Deck. We started going with our neighbors shortly after their make-over and it's great!!! Good food, friendly service, cold beer. Need I say more?!

Appetizer took over an hour to come out this place sucks. Worst service I've ever seen in my entire life.

Friendly staff. It's a great space inside and really nice boat slips. One important detail, You need to pick up your own food! Repeat pick up your own food at the window. But I have to say the catfish sandwich was delicious.

Larger than life these folks are! Waitstaff is over the top and the bartender is a great lady - it's like Cheers but better.

First time to Wet Deck with friends and it was a wonderful time! Plenty of parking, relaxed vibe, talented live music, full beer and liquor bar, plus great food truck. We stayed for sunset and it was beautiful. Highly recommend for date night.

Ate here and it was fantastic service by Naomi. Good good great atmosphere. Will be back absolutely

Our party of 7 came for a family reunion of sorts and had the best wait staff and flavorful meal. A definite return is warranted. Come and enjoy yourself!

Thumbs Up: Nice property with a massive outdoor deck that goes out to the water. Neutral Fist: Patrons are rugged and there's indoor smoking, but that's what you should expect for an establishment located out in the wilderness.

The ambiance of this place is very laid back, relaxing, and simple but full of character. The layout makes this place simple, open floor plan with a bar centeralized to be able to keep a view on patrons. The best part, the huge deck wirh tables to enjoy conversation while enjoying an ice cold beer. The deck wraps around a large tree that provides shade as you watch the sunset over Lake Livingston. People: it's Texas, everybody here is neighbors. You're guaranteed to get a warm welcoming "hello" from the locals. Food: the kitchen and bathrooms are still out of commission. However they donprovidw a food truck and port-a-johns. If you order from the food truck stay away from the hotwings, get a hambergwr instead. Service: the employees seem to enjoy working here. They're smiling and seem to be well liked bybthe clientel. I enjoyed their kindness, HOWEVER, do not expect them to ruch you a drink. Kick back, relqx, and enjoy the atmoshphere. Your drink will make it to you. This was my first visit here, I look forward to enjoying this place each time I return to Livingston.

I saw photos of this place and it looked like a nice place to spend some time this evening. Didn't know it would be ALL evening! I walked out to the deck and sat at a table. A waitress got drinks for the couple at the next table. She didn't even acknowledge me sitting there. I got up and moved to a table closer to the lake. Ordered a margarita and some wings and fries. The drink came out after a while, but seemed to be watered down. I waited and waited for the food. There was a "large" table of 12 people and maybe 6 or 7 other tables (some with only 2 people) outside and about the same number of tables inside. There were only 2 waitresses semi-working the deck area. They would take food and drink orders, but you had to go inside to get the food. This is nothing fancy. Even the large table could have been treated at 2 tables of 6. Burgers, club sandwiches, poboys, wings. Nothing that should have taken so long. Everyone was waiting for over an hour. I almost got up and walked out. The wings finally came out. I was told it was creamy garlic parmesan sauce when I ordered. It came out as a dry rub. The crinkle fries were barely fried. I had to get someone's attention to pay my bill. The kitchen and wait staff need a lot of work and some customer service training. The restroom had no paper towels. The good: the view, the wings are a decent size.

Hi Friend, The Wet Deck it's like drinking at a construction site. There's is a porta potty Patrons are dressed in construction clothing There's a food truck There Flies all over the place There is a Overall feeling as if OSHA is coming in for site inspection There was a rocking band The server should have worn an orange vest with a construction helmet but she was wearing work boots ! I'm not sure but there were a couple of guys warming up outside near a raging fire in a trash can

I went there before they closed for remodeling and the burgers were delicious and huge. At the moment they seem to be back open without the kitchen for the moment. But I have heard their steak night that they have now is very good and they have food trucks until they can get the kitchen open.

Today was my first time at the wet deck and I am very impressed. I ordered a chicken salad. The greens the meat, everything was perfect. Service was amazing and the venue is impressive.

LOVE this place and the view is absolutely stunning!! But MOST of all the SUNSETS, out of this world beautiful! They actually just rebuilt this establishment and you have to see it with your own eyes to understand how remarkable this place is!! The food is like homemade from your momma's house, and the vibe is like a fun laid back atmosphere of good ole people and amazing activities! So go play some shuffle board, enter the pool or dart tournament if you are feeling really friskyyyy, and get ya some new Facebook profile pics by having someone take your picture on the deck during an out of this universe sunset! Check it out folks, and leave me a comment if you checked it out or have checked it out in the past! Much love, peace, and chicken grease!! =o)

10/10 service and food. The outside patio was so nice. My dad and I shared the appetizer sampler which included fried pickles, stuffed shrimp and southwestern egg rolls. Loved it. Superb not subpar

I know the kitchen isn't open yet but what I don't understand is "no kids!" We brought our granddaughters there to eat the Captains platter and they loved it but NO KIDS after 4? We're gonna eat and then leave not keep them there and party with them?! You lose service with that!? ‍

Came here to eat and drink by the lake and was a great atmosphere. Gave it a one star because we ordered and it didn't come out til 40 minutes later. Also, the corn tortillas were stale, missing sides (hush puppy's) on an order, and drinks were meh.

The food was good. Asked for water without lemon. I got 2 bottles of water and was charged $4.50 for the water. The next visit I said I wanted water In a glass. We got water in Styrofoam cups. The water didn't even taste good. We were charged $4.50 for water which was not bottled water. I spoke to the waitress and was given a refund. I was told by the waitress that's the way they do. We won't be back.

Always the best views, great service and excellent food. We are a regular customer and will continue to support local businesses that provide the best customer service and quality products which the Wet Deck has all the above.

Total dive bar with good customer service and large food portions. Beautiful view of the lake. The ladies bathroom door doesn't close as it catches in the wall. No wheelchair access toilet in men's room so a woman asked everyone to vacate the ladies room so a man in a wheelchair could use it. A man using the ladies room was totally fine but the woman asking the women to get out was too much. They seemed to be regulars there. The inside smells like cigarette smoke but their air is oddly not Smokey. Outdoor live music was a nice touch. I'm sure the locals love the vibe but it was just to rough for our taste. We were so hopeful it would be our new meeting place with family traveling from Longview and us traveling from Katy. The lake view, live music and good portions are worth trying it for yourself.

Great service and food. We sat on the patio with our dog and had tasty burgers. Good shade from umbrellas for the afternoon. Someone mentioned portable toilets but I think that might have been when they were building. Bathrooms inside looked open and available. The server will take your order and get your drinks but they call your name when your food is ready and you go get it inside. We will be back when in the area.

We love this place. We go at least once a week when we are in town for either lunch or dinner and we love the live music on Sundays. The Dave's Chicken Salad sandwich is awesome. The tacos are great too. It's right on the water and the view at sunset is amazing.

It's CLOSED down. We drove all the way out there and it's shut down. We were on a road trip but definitely went out of our way to try it out.

Good was excellent! And I'm sure it will be again! Service is above excellent. They know you if you frequent them. They will call you by name they pretty much know what your drink will be. I love the new bldg. And especially the NO SMOKING! When they have live entertainment it is good. My favorite place for a good cocktail, good food, and great service.

What's not to love about sitting outside on a deck by the water? Twinkly lights, friendly wait staff , and good beverages. Enjoyed wonderful burgers from the food truck.

Went there for lunch, food was great and plenty. Lady at the order window was super nice. Nice to sit outside overlooking the lake. Didn't have any drinks from the bar but looked like others were enjoying their drinks. The decor inside was pretty cool. Seems like it would be a fun place to be in the evening.

Fast Friendly service great burgers and and yummy spicy french fries. Right on the water with fun atmosphere! Will be back!

We had a really good time! We came to Lake Livingston from Houston for a girls getaway. The hospitality was great at Wet Deck. The views are absolutely amazing. The owners are really nice and caring. You can tell it has that small town atmosphere. They are renovating their kitchen so they have provided a food truck and it was tasty!! You can order on your phone and they brought it to us. Thanks for the laughs and hospitality!!

During a weekend drive from Houston we stopped to have a drink and maybe a bite to eat. They had a huge deck outside, but don't allow dogs on the deck. There we maybe 10 people in the whole place, and one of them even commented, after I asked if we could sit on the deck with our dogs, we were the 3rd people to ask. We thought it's was kinda weird out here in the middle of nowhere they wouldn't allow dogs outside, there are tons of places in the middle of Houston that are dog friendly. So we went to one of those places.

We stopped by to get gas for our Pontoon boat and decided to get a drink and some food. The beer was ice cold. The servers were very nice & friendly. We ordered food from the food truck outside. I got the chicken salad sandwich & fried pickles and my hubby got the chicken bacon ranch wrap & sweet potato fries. It was all delicious. We tried a bite of my sister in-laws fried mac-n-cheese and it was really good too. Not a lot of space to park your boat and a bit congested by the gas pumps but other than that it was a great visit!! The outside porch was really nice. I'm hoping to drive out to sit outside and feel the lake wind and listen to some music!!

This is a great place to sit on the deck overlooking Lake Livingston and enjoy drinks and good food in fair weather. Inside, it is a bar in every sense and smells like smoke and alcohol. Regulars perch on barstools and greet each other as they arrive. (cheers!) Our visits here are in the daytime, but at night, they often have live music. They are known for the burgers, so that is what we got and they were as advertized, quite good. Also very large. I got the Wet Deck Cheeseburger with jalapenos added and onion rings, which are fresh made to order. It was all terrific. If I had any complaint at all, I'd wish for fresh meat, hand formed patties. These are your average frozen pre-formed. The popular spicy Bloody Mary is $6.75. The menu is fairly large, with lots of appetizers, sandwiches, wraps, seafood, salads, wings, and sides, even large seafood platters for two or four and party platters of appetizers. You order inside, adult beverages at the bar, food and soft drinks at the kitchen window. They call your name on outside speakers to fetch your food when it's ready. For drinks only or refills, a server outside was prompt and checked in with us several times to see if we needed any refills. This is a 21 and over establishment all the time and in all areas, so don't even try it. Strictly enforced. You can boat up or there's a large parking lot. On our November visit, there were no umbrellas and none needed on the perfect 62 degree sunny day, but they come out in warmer weather. An ancient pecan tree was dropping its annual harvest all around. Lovely afternoon.

If I could leave no stars I would! Policy's are outrageous. Management is rude and has horrible customer service.

Love this place Burgers are great. Melissa the bartender is a different story lol just kidding. If you're in the area enjoy a cold beer and great lake views!

Great place to eat and drink on the water! They just built a new boat dock so you can pull right up to the deck to eat and drink.

Stopped in to enjoy the view of the lake and have a cold one. Beers were definitely cold and the staff was very friendly. We decided to order wings and i threw in a grilled cheese and fries special. It was So good. Buttery, crispy and cheesy grilled cheese with crinkle fries and the wings were nicely sauced and so crispy. We will definitely be back!

It all depends on what you are looking for.. food was good "bar food" burgers, shrimp baskets etc. has lakeside deck, but bar allows smoking so it is terribly smokey inside. If that's what you want, a bar that allows smoking then this will work for ya.

Went last night to watch the Astros game with my family. Burgers were great, waitress was very helpful and we never waited for drinks. Only down side was women's restroom was small and needed attention. We will for sure go back for burgers and beers!

Been here many, many times with our son and family/friends to eat great burgers. Was turned away this Sunday and asked to leave because he was under age. I understand Texas law very well and this has never been an issue before having him on the deck to eat. Melissa (bartender) always said it was no problem. Little disappointed and will definitely rethink coming from north side to eat here again. Too bad... Food is great!

Great place. Some times a crowed some times just a few but always a good time. Best bar staff in Texas and wow what a great view

Good burgers. Window service on food. This place is really a bar. No one under the age of 21.

Awesome burgers. Best on the lake. Friendly staff and great sunsets too. Karaoke on fri and sat can be very entertaining.

My wife and I would not reccomend this restaurant. There restuarant policies are very unprofessional by treating you as if were going to eat, drink, and run without paying; by requesting you to immediately pay for your drink or start a tab in which you have to spend $10 minimum or they keep the difference you don't spend! In addition they want to hold your credit card while you have a drink tab; in other words trust us while we hold your card for you, but they don't trust us and treat us as were going to eat, drink, and run! After attempting to discuss this with the so called manager/ bar tender, I had to ask her to leave the presence of our table for she was getting very defensive and wanting to argue with us her customers! She was very RUDE! Never in my 56 years have my wife and I experience being treated as if we were "TRASHY PEOPLE" who would eat, drink and run, with such RUDENESS by so called manager/ bar tender. Fortunately we ate outside because the inside was a stinky dark dirty pub/bar, which really concerned us about the kitchen and their food they served! Also, we gave a tip that was intended to go to our waitress, and we discovered the manager/bar tender was giving a portion of the waitresses tip to the kitchen help; I guess because they called our name in the intercom that it was ready for us to pick up justifies them receiving a portion of the tip! We loved the Livingston Lake State Park and will be back there to visit, but we definitely will not be back to the Wet Deck bar & grill! Furthermore, they should be embarrassed by the ripped up, bleached out American Flag they have flying!

We've been here several times and love it! During the summer this is our spot to start off our Sunday Funday with our family and friends. The food is always fresh and tasty, the drinks are cold and the staff is super friendly. Not to mention, you're on the lake! What more can you ask for. Ok, well a dock would be nice BUT we don't sweat the small stuff. The guys can usually pull the boat up to the edge so the ladies can get off without getting wet but most of the time we skip it since we're all in bathing suits. So happy we found this place. :)

I have never had a bad experience in the many times I have been to the Wet Deck This is a hole in the wall with very friendly people, strong drinks & good food. Don't bring your dog, cat, etc. This is a bar for grown up mature people. I have always been treated with respect & I give respect to the servers & other customers. I have enjoyed myself every time I have been there.
