10. The Hodge Podge Cafe
Reviewed By deepsea285
Located behind the Mini Cooper service area, this comfortable, casual cafe has tasty food made from scratch. It is quite literally a hole in the wall, but cool and comfortable inside. I have visited this establishment three times now; for breakfast and lunch, and they have not disappointed Their prices are reasonable - $2 breakfast tacos and $7 burger meals and only $1 for their fountain sodas! When I was there, a mother and son team ran the counter and kitchen. Both were were extremely friendly and accommodating. The cafe is situated among numerous car dealerships which frequent their location during their service appointment wait times. Not a huge menu but the few items offered are done well- and with a friendly smile. They take phone orders and online they grub hub.

First of all, this is a restaurant in an airport. It is also before security, which is awesome! We visited them twice a week apart. The first was just drinks while waiting on a shuttle to Galveston, the next was when we were flying home. Both times were good. The first one as mentioned was just drinks, the bartender was personable and did a good job. The second time, we sat down for a BBQ sandwich and soda. It is a cafeteria line type of ordering system, they prepare and hand you your food, you take it to a table. The food was good and employees would check on us and clear the table and such. All in all two good experiences. I would definitely return next time in Hobby airport.

I love waffle house breakfast and this one was no exception. The food was served fast and courteously the way I ordered it. I was there alone so the only place I could sit was at the counter. Would have preferred to sit in a small booth but they have those reserved for 2 or more even when they are slow.

What Denny's do so well is serve breakfast to a known standard. The branch is no exception and adds to that excellent service and a well maintained standard.What is great to having say the grand slam that essentially allows you to build your own breakfast. Outstanding value.

We made the right choice when we had the Spring Hill Suites shuttle driver take us to Pappas Bar-B-Q on Jan. 18th. Be prepared for cafeteria style. You take a tray and make your selections. Lesly, was very attentive and she offered to take the tray to the table for me. I was using a walker and I appreciated the thoughtful gesture. The brisket sandwich was truly wonderful. It was a great buy at only $9.95. The brisket was so much better than Famous Daves in Lincoln. Meat was plentiful and not at all fatty. The menu was posted above the lines. Sides equally reasonable. One person had cole slaw, another had side of macaroni salad and I had Yams. I was less thrilled with the Yams, but they were still very tasty. The sides were $2.45 each. Locals seem to come with their families. We were there by 5:15 and it was just beginning to have the rush. I almost missed the homemade pecan pie. A person at another table had it and so glad to see him enjoy it. It almost tasted that there was a touch of brandy in the pie.Will return when he have another cruise. A must place for clients to try. They willnot be disappointed.

Great poor boys that came with onion straws and Cajun fries or sweet potato fries for $8.99. Good service and was close to our airport hotel.

We just happened upon this restaurant in South Houston (about 3-4 mi. south of loop 610) and we were so fortunate. They have an extensive menu for a cafe. The pancakes are large, thick, but not too heavy, and of course good. They have something called a steam bar, where you pick out an entree out of several choices, vegetables, and a salad if you desire. The entrees are a large serving. The food is very good. They can probably seat about a hundred folks so there is not usually a wait. The prices are very reasonable. Parking is at a premium, and be careful about parking in the next door McDonald's, because they have signs that threaten towing your car. The location is just about a mile east of the Gulf Freeway (I45). We will stop here every time we are in Houston, in route to Galveston.

We searched for a bbq place after arriving in Houston before driving down to Galveston. This place is in a strip mall, that lacks anything appealing so I was kind of reluctant to go in. The place is oddly furnished. It was like going into a flea market. However, their bbq was very good and the baked beans were terrific. We all loved it, which is saying something for my picky family!Staff was very friendly as well!

Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen offers a quality seafood experience in the William P. Hobby Airport, Houston. This is not a typical airport fareâthe restaurant serves a real, very tasty food and drinks with all the efficiency needed for a busy airport. The restaurant is crowded, but we had no trouble getting our bags to our seat. The host and service staff were friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and quite busy. I especially noted how the servers kept an eye on traveler needs and jumped quick help folks get in and out to meet travel requirements. The menu was surprisingâplenty of choices for fried and non-fried seafood dishes and some non-seafood offeringsâpretty much the menu youâd expect an any full-service restaurant of this type, yet in an airport. All the food we ordered was fantastic and included ample portions. The prices matched the quality. Overall, I rate Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen at William P. Hobby Airport as a high value for engaged and friendly service, very good food, perfect price points, and location in a busy airport where more quality food is always needed. One of my favorite airport restaurants. Highly recommended.
