Fox Sports Skybox

Place is the worst. Food stinks, and if you are there when the Texans lose, you can expect the discourteous bartender to be even worse, stuck listening to his amateur f-​bomb laced analysis while he contemplates gun violence against those players who performed the worst.
Beer served haphazardly and they couldn’t be less interested in getting you another round.
Also, who has only SD???
WORST. BAR. EVER

Absolutely vile. Not only is the place littered with non-​HD CRT TVs and hasn’t been updated in at least 10 years, but the food is also terrible. Can’t ask for how you’d like your burger, because it’s obviously a frozen patty. Don’t bother asking for the onion rings, because they’re mushy in the middle like the frozen slop they are. Service was prompt, but that’s not enough even to move this to a second star. Avoid.

This restaurant has pretty good food. It’s not the best in the world, but it’s a lot better than eating at a fast food place. The BBQ Wing appetizer is very good. The fish and chips leave much to be desired. The fries were great, but the fish was pan-​seared not fried like you would expect. It was also very bland and didn’t have a very distinct flavor. However, this place has a great atmosphere for an airport restaurant. It’s kind of nice being above all the bustling of the terminal. Plus watching all your favorite sports while eating a decent meal and waiting on your flight is pretty awesome.

This place is a dump with terrible food. Worst bar food possibly ever. The waiter was trying so hard to be friendly it was painful to watch. You could tell the French fries had been sitting under the heating lamp for a while, the burger I ordered medium came out medium well and not as described in the menu. Iced tea tasted like it had been strained through the chefs underwear.
Will never go back to this dump.

Horrible! I ordered a southwest fiesta salad. Old slightly browning iceberg lettuce, a clump of dressing in the middle and the pico had old tomatoes with chunks of the stem they didn’t bother to remove. My boyfriend got a mesquite burger — smallest restaurant burger we’ve ever seen (14 bucks!) with practically no toppings.
It’s supposed to be a sports bar but they don’t have a blender so the frozen drinks are just a mix and WEAK. The limes in the drinks were also brown.
Obviously management doesn’t care at all. This place is horrible. There was a ton of staff just standing around and talking. I have no clue how this place is still in business. Save yourself the trouble and walk to Pappadeaux.

Food was actually ok. But don’t come here if in a hurry. Slowest wait staff and bartender ignores customers. Come here if not a hurry.

Lucky for them the beer is cold…
I arrived as part of my layover after a strange experience of being directed to several different gates for my terminating flight, tired and hungry. The place a small crowd with most people huddled around the bar. I took a seated adduce that was facing a flat screen will football game on. The time was around 6:00 PM. I ordered a Stella draft, and a barbecue chicken platter. My server’s name was Summer, at least that’s what the ticket says, she never did really give her name to me. In fact, other than the TVs and a cold beer, this place just sucks. The food was bland, the chicken was mildly warm. Side items were cold as well and forgettable. I would’ve complained but my server disappeared, so I finished what I could have of the meal neglecting the beans altogether. I wasn’t sure exactly how much time I had until the next lights and second changing the times and the gates and being anxious with the disappearing waitress didn’t help. Finally, I couldn’t wait anymore and traipsed around the restaurant looking for my server. I found her behind the bar. She seemed matter-​of-​fact about the circumstance of me having to get up and find her in order to get my check. When she brought it to me I thought to myself, that she might stick around for a second and see if I was going to pay noticing that I didn’t have any food left. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I ended up having to track her down again to give her the credit card which I quickly signed giving her a paltry 15%(she truly didn’t even deserve that) and was on my way. The entire experience left me bewildered. For sitdown establishment, this is probably the worst experience I’ve had in ages.

Mediocre food. One LCD tv with a non-​HD signal. About a dozen 14″ CRTs from ten years ago. $ 8.09 (pre-​tax) for a 20 oz. Modelo beer. Yeah. Zero stars if I could.
Go somewhere else until the managers of this «sports bar» act like they care.

Eeeesh… Worst wings I have ever had. Completely soggy. There was one without sauce and even it was soggy. They don’t even fry them! Gross soggy chicken skin. Poor service, too. If you are in Terminal E, just go to Pappadeaux’s.

Terrible service, worse food, and flat cocktails. My party ordered a tequila sofa
water. Instead we got a margarita that was way too sweet. Nachos had no cheese. Salad wasn’t tossed… just served with a clump of dressing in the center. We feel like throwing up right now after this awful meal. Not even okay for the airport. plus it smells like dirty floors and old, wet towels.

Come for the beer and nothing else…
This is a decent place to burn a few hours or catch a quick game while your are on a layover but in regards for eating, there are better options in the terminal.
I ordered the French dip and a blue moon. The menu says that it’s thin s «piled high» on a toasted bun. Look at the picture I posted and tell me what you think. I’m Pake but 2 little slices of roast beef does not = piled high.
Service was slow and unendearing but nevertheless got the job done.

High above th airport crowds you will find this cool restaurant. I would not have know it was here if I didn’t read the airport directional because from the outside you do not notice that this place is here if you are caught up in the airport experience.
I would suggest placing bigger signs downstairs pointing to this place upstairs. Even the elevator appears to be a vip elevator.
I’ve been here a couple times and the place is never packed… always room for me to sit down and spread out my luggage and use a table for my laptop. You don’t need to wait to be seated as you walk in you can find a table and sit down
Staff is what you would expect from an airport team. Fairly quick and understanding that you just want to usually get in an out with the occasional 7 hour layover where you can kill all the time in the world.
I loved the food. Any food is better that what they serve on the airlines these days. The chicken sandwich is great and was suggested by the server.
I would highly suggest this place if you want to get away from the crowds and are not part of the admiral club

I hate giving 1 star — especially since the service I got was really good. But everything else is just so horrible…
Food: 1 star
Setting: 1 star
Prices 1 star
Service: 4 stars
To start, if you find yourself forced to eat a meal at this insanely overpriced airport, I highly recommend just grabbing a chicken sandwich from Wendy’s ($ 5), and eating at your gate. Then if you really need a beer — and I mean REALLY need a beer (because prices start at $ 5.75 for a Bud Light — blows my mind…), then come here and catch some sports.
The seating is cramped. The TVs are old, tube style. The food is grrrrross and SO overpriced. I got one of the chicken sandwiches. After tax and tip, it cost me almost $ 15. And there’s no way it could have been any better than anything at Wendy’s (or even the little $ 7 wraps at the airport kiosks).
The service we got was really good. The guy definitely understood that everything was grossly overpriced (and actually seemed a little embarrassed about it). And when I told him I was splitting the sandwich with my wife, he brought it out, pre-​cut in half, and on two separate plates. Highly appreciated.

Okay place to visit but prices too high for food! What else would you expect from any establishment in the airport?!?

Worst French toast ever

This is an airport bar. What I expect from an airport bar is mainly expediency and decent service. I like to get in, have a beverage and/​or a bite, and get out as quickly as possible and Fox offers just that. On top of the quick and attentive service the bartender Billy chased me down at my departing gate (which was a ways away) to return my iphone that I left on the bar. I keep everything in that phone and can’t express enough how grateful I am to him for going above and beyond to get it back to me. I fly in and out of Houston pretty regularly and will ALWAYS take my business to Fox Skybox.
Thanks again, Billy. You rock!

The ‘steak’ I received with the surf and turf combo was not fit to be served at a public school cafeteria, homeless shelter, or state penitentiary. It was a sickening beige-​grey in color, full of gristle, and had the flavor of the mixture of rancid grease and diluted cleaning agents it must have been prepared in the day before, to be ready for the microwave when I ordered. I wish I was not so focused on the stresses of travel or I would have stopped eating sooner but I definitely did not finish it and left hungry. The crab cakes were not quite so bad but still had a lukewarm microwaved quality to them. The food at this place is beyond horrible and next time I would not accept it if it were free. There is not a fast food outlet in IAH that is this bad. Wish I had checked Unilocal first before assuming this place would serve sanitary food.

Wow I would have hoped this place was a fun sports bar at an airport that would be perfect to kill time while your flight is delayed…
the service is sooo rude! SO RUDE! We barely got a smile or a hello from our server. he didn’t really seem to acknowledge any of us. The food was really drab… nothing exciting…
place is small. have a small beer list (nothing exciting) and the prices aren’t all that spectacular. Next time I’ll stick to a fast food chain.

Crap service.
Completly over-​priced.
What A total waste of money.
Waitress was a complete wet rag.
a martini is 1oz in a barbie size glass — 1 oz?! seriously?! (i think a double was $ 15×2 = cost of Grey Goose Bottle!)
O, can you please tell me why there are NO prices listed for any drinks or wine?!
W T H ??
Tip: go to Pappadeux — serivce was amazing, friendly, prompt, efficient, overall excellent. Wine list is amazing! Talk about Night & Day Difference!

A pretty pitiful excuse for a restaurant, even considering the security constraints. My quesadilla was cool and greasy and I can’t believe that I paid an extra buck and a half for the smallest pot of guacamole that tasted like it was made days ago.
They get an extra star for the beer, which was cold and served promptly, though it’s pretty hard to mess up a bottled beer. It would have been nice if I was offered a glass though.
Way too many TV’s on here. I realize it’s a sports bar, but with this much racket, there’s just no way to have a conversation. I never could figure out which screen went with the blasted audio though.
The only thing going for it was that it was close to my gate and at least a few of the tables had electrical outlets nearby. I was able to kill a couple hours waiting for my connection in relative comfort and recharge my laptop and iPod batteries.
Adding… no bathrooms? wth!
