Hofbrau Steak House - Porter

The food was tasty, the service was prompt, and the environment was definitely welcoming for families. While I probably wouldn't make a special trip to eat there again, I would definitely consider returning if I'm nearby.

The food here is consistently excellent. Their standout dish is the chicken fried steak, available in small, regular, or Texas size. The staff is always welcoming and ready to help with any questions or requests you may have. You definitely need to give this place a visit!

Service was excellent but the food was sub par at best. Salad did not have cheese like it shows in pictures and the baked potato didn't come w bacon even though it also shows it w bacon. We had the ribeye tips w onions and mushrooms and the flavor of that was the best part. I hate when places skimp on ingredients but still charge a pretty price for the item. $5.99 for a fully loaded potato is worth it when it actually comes fully loaded! I will not be returning to this place due to lack of value!

Inside, the decor has the vibe of a roadhouse, featuring a lot of exposed wood and various signs adorning the walls. There are advertisements, catchy slogans, and amusing license plates—plenty to take in while you wait for your food. I ordered the lunch special of chicken fried steak for $13.99. They offer four different sizes of chicken fried steak, varying in size and meat quality. The $13.99 option doesn’t use Nolan Ryan beef, but reportedly, you can’t really tell the difference. The three larger sizes do use the premium beef, with the largest, a Texas-sized chicken fried steak, said to weigh 10 oz. All meals come with one side, and I opted for a loaded baked potato for an additional $1.99. Regardless of whether you're dining for lunch or dinner, every meal includes a homemade yeast roll. When my food arrived, it was well-sized and looked delicious. However, after a few bites, I found the dish to be overly breaded. The steak is pounded thin, and while I appreciate some breading, this was excessive, making it hard to taste the meat. I would recommend either ordering a larger portion or choosing a different dish altogether. The service was excellent, which is to be expected during a less busy time, as there were only a handful of other customers present during my visit.

Not what I expected for the price and service wasn't that great either. I have eaten at another location in Houston that was so much better. Was very disappointed. Sorry guys, but we won't be back
