Texas Borders Bar & Grill

By far one of the best restaurant and bars in katy! Staff is amazing and food is even better. No wonder they have been around in katy for almost 20 years! A perfect place for the whole family!

Texas Borders Bar & Grill is a must! Order the trio dips, to die for! Our server was Jeremy & he rocked it! We were privileged to meet the owner & her food, her service (and those she employed) were fantastic! The happy hour beats all the rest & the ambiance was great fun!!!

I have lived in Katy for 4 years but didn’t know they were here. I went in today for lunch, and I had the best fiesta salad I have ever had. That jalapeño ranch dressing is so good. I will be back many more times!

Impressed with The menu and staff. Mostly I like that they allow children to eat after 9. Hello… Not every parent has a 9 – 5 and eats at McDs. Anyway. I had a local place but they won’t see me the rest of the summer due to the kid thing.

Excellent food and service come back real soon the shrimp platter is good for lunch the lunch portion is small if you don’t eat as much

Great food; great service! Enjoyed the biggest crawfish in town! Nice cold beer! Kelli and her staff are fantastic!

Awesome crawfish. Awesome service. Ask for Shon, he’s there 6 days a week. Great ambiance. It was my fiancé and my first visit and we’ll definitely be going back. Great patio. Live music on weekends.

I am very disappointed in this establishment. I ordered my food and when the waitress brought it out, it was not how I ordered it and she was throwing everything on the cook, however I told her it is her responsibility to make sure when the customers food leaves the kitchen it is the way her customers ordered it. The food was not hot, the corn muffins were cold and hard. The manager did not understand my issue and just kept saying well u could hv sent it back, that’s not the point. That’s not how I ordered it, is the point.

I had almost forgotten about this gem of a restaurant however I’m a pleased I did not. Not only is the service always excellent, prompt, attentive and pleasant but the food is equally delicious. I have had a number of their dishes (i’ll get to the hamburger I just had in a moment) and I must tell you that although the menu suffers from the «cuisines of multiple personalities» (Mexican, Cajun, American) there is not one that is better than another. From the Fish Tacos, to the Crawfish, to the Boudin Balls every dish is worth at least a try and very deserving of this 5 star review and if possible more!
In any case last night’s Jalapeño Burger was really very, very good and worth honorable mention in the Great Hamburgers of Texas. Not only are the fresh grilled Jalapeño’s a flavorful addition but when combined with the fresh lettuce, tomato, notable slice of purple onion nestled in between a toasted Jalapeño bun and generous handmade burger an incredibly delicious meal it is accompanied by a filling portion of hot, crisp and perfectly prepared serving of French fries. I likewise had a Michelada (actually 2 since I was not driving) and the waitress made me some fresh coffee for a signature to the meal (I’m a yin yang kinda’ guy and had to balance the Michelada’s).
In any case this is not a restaurant to be overlooked or as it was in my case almost nearly forgotten. It should be a place preserved in the armamentarium of any good Unilocaler, foodie or for that matter anyone who has the pleasure to be within 30 miles of the Westside of Houston (it’s well worth a 30 mile drive or ‘down the road’ in Texas parlance).

I’m always on a hunt for great spots in Katy that features a variety of foods. I don’t think that I need to look any further. This place was beyond fantastic! The service was amazing even for a busy Sunday. Shon provided outstanding customer service and even helped a newbie out with ordering suggestions.
We were able to ve seated quickly and everyone on the patio stopped to ask if we’d been helped. The staff was friendly and provided more than enough help.
Omg…might I say again how amazing this place and the food is. I will definitely be back.

Don’t think I’ll be coming here for another burger. This burger was by far the greasiest burger I’ve ever had. The beef was not good. Very fatty. My twin boys also complained how greasy their burger was.
Ever heard of a bad burger in Texas? Me neither.
Atmosphere is great, and I’m sure the other food is good. But, I’ll not get another burger from here.

I can’t remember the last time I have a restaurant five stars, BUT baby this place deserved it. This is the most gracious accommodating restaurant I have EVER experienced. The young woman who sat has introduced herself as the owner. She asked our names and shook our hands and asked if it was our first time. She told me about the screwdriver and then offered to give me a sample.
I got a sample of the screwdriver, the chili (more about that in a moment), and the gumbo. Our waitress Alycia was patient and awesome. She gave us great recommendations and we went with the BOB burger: jalapeño burger smothered in chili and queso. Honey baby, I am on a food HIGH!!! I don’t want to come down. I should have come here when I was pregnant so I could really do some damage. The burger was awesome. The toppings were fabulous. The fries crisped just right. The service was the best I ever had!!! Can you tell I’m in my feelings right now??? Where are the emojis when I need them???

Great burgers. Thursday night is kids eat free night and me; my wife, and 2 kids eat for less than $ 30. Place was defiantly a bargain.
The owner/​manager was very attentive
Happy hour drink was reasonably priced
Burgers were great
Kids loved the chicken strips and corn dogs
I will defiantly return.

Amazing burgers here. If you come make sure to sit in Shon’s section– really sweet waiter!

Great food, fresh and everything is made in-​house. Cost was moderate.
I recommend and would go back.
Bartender was kind of, weird. Too friendly for my taste.

I’ve been coming to Borders since their grand opening when I was barely 12yrs old (I’m now 30)! I’ve kept coming back because I love the food, I think I’ve probably tried everything on the menu at least once! We love their chicken tenders and chk fried steak, the quesadillas and burgers are great, and they have the best flavored crawfish around (besides my house)!!! The queso and salsa are to die for, and the beer ritas are amazing! If you ever have an issue with food/​service don’t hesitate to ask for Kelly (the owner) or Joel, they’ll do anything to fix a situation! Overall great food and drinks in a fun atmosphere!

First time I’ve been here with my girlfriend and it was pretty tasty. Got free chips and salsa and had happy hour beer from 3 – 7. $ 2 long necks to be exact plus $ 3 wells. Ordered a burger with jalapeño and bacon only on it. The gf got the hickory burger and both where delicious. Only thing I don’t like is they had a fair amount of kids in there. I don’t like to drink while listening to kids… Overall pretty good and I will come back.

My new favorite restaurant in Katy! I love that the menu is diverse with flavors in Texas and dishes popular by «bordering» states. Their boudin balls and gumbo are ridiculously good. I also had the monstrous Jose Burger. The hamburger meat was so flavorful just on its own — but then with the queso and egg and pico… I devoured like a carnivore should! The staff and management are friendly. The prices are right. The food is delish. What else do you need to know? Go!

Yum! This place is a fried food lovers heaven! Definitely don’t come here if you’re on any sort of diet. Lol.
I had the fried chicken tenders with onion rings instead of fries. Both are fried in the most incredible, fluffy batter! Best tenders I’ve ever had!
And…if it’s your first time at the restaurant, you get free chips with homemade queso, salsa and jalapeño ranch dip. Talk about awesome!
We’ll definitely be back when we feel like being pigs again. Haha.

Good food, and great service… way out in Katy. Who knew?
Seriously though, Texas Borders is great. It’s not your typical bar & grill with generic, over-​salted, low quality food-​like substances. You can tell they put thought and care into their menu. Everyone here is friendly… bartenders, servers, and patrons alike. They definitely foster a family atmosphere.
Back to the menu. They have a diverse selection of comfort food, Cajun/​Creole and Tex-​Mex. They do them all well. I LOVE their onion rings and their buffalo shrimp. Their chicken nachos are good as well. They prepare their nachos so each chip is topped with chicken and cheese… a much better presentation than the stacked mess. Their soups are also good, particularly the crawfish bisque and their chili. Their chili is called red hot for a reason… it’s hot and full of flavor.
Texas Borders has a pretty good happy hour with lots of specials. If you come during happy hour you’ll notice it’s packed. You might have trouble finding seats at the bar, but folks do come and go. Parking isn’t an issue since it’s in the middle of a strip mall full of other restaurants. I’ll definitely keep coming back.
