The Moonshiners Southern Table + Bar

Love that this restaurant is a "seat yourself" experience, allowing us to sit right under their neon "Southern Hospitality" sign, great for photos. Their blonde ale was very light abd came at a fantastic price, $6.50 for a 12 oz. I ordered the smoked brisket sandwich, with their sweet bbq sauce and slaw, and was able to appreciate the slow cooked brisket, but the sandwich overall was a bit underwhelming, and over loaded with far too much mediocre slaw.If you are looking for a quick bbq experience in Houston, I'd say it was worth it, but nothing beyond that.

We stopped in midweek. The place was not crowded and the service was great. We thought they had brunch but apparently it is only on the weekends (sat&sun)Since we were in the mood for breakfast food we went with the only breakfast option , the Chicken and waffles The chicken was crispy and tasted more like regular hot sauce but was good. The waffles were already sweet and did not need the syrup once I used just butter they were great. The mimosa carafe was a great option for the price

The husband and I decided to come here last night and we are so glad we did! When you walk you, there's a sign telling you to seat yourself, so we did. I do not recall our server's name, but we had a couple of different people stop by while we were there and they were all so helpful!For starters, I ordered the Southern Old Fashioned, it was really good and just what I needed to warm my innards on a chilly night. Husband got the Midnight Mule, and he commented how good it was and it really gave him a buzz (maybe because it was strong, maybe because he hadn't eaten since breakfast, or maybe both?).We were going to get appy's, but our server did state they are all large portions, so we skipped it sine it was just the two of us. For my entree, I ordered the Tuscan Chicken. It was so tasty with fresh veggies, goat cheese and a terrific lemon butter sauce. Husband ordered the chicken blackened fettuccine and he really enjoyed it, although he felt it needed 4 pieces of garlic bread, not 2. He did request more and our server gladly obliged.Our entrees came out super fast, which was awesome! We did also get the banana pudding for dessert, which was really tasty but a bit difficult to get out of the big mason jar.Overall, this was a great meal and we are looking forward to coming back.

Great atmosphere nice and cozy spot for a casual bite. The food on the other hand wasn't so great. My brisket sandwich came cold and was too on the salty side and had weird aftertaste. Overall would try again, service was great. Maybe just not great luck with the food.

We were in during happy hour so drinks were on special - I chose the Peach Shine Tea and it tasted JUST like peach tea but boozy! Nice and strong and all rounds were consistent. It's a seat yourself place which definitely made it feel a little more down home and the staff were really quick to come check in with us. Our waitress was really nice and everything came out hot, accurate, and tasted great. The only thing was the fries were not well done but definitely not bad. Would recommend!!

Went there for brunch and got the Blackberry Chutney Hot Nashville Chicken & Waffles. I'd give it a 8/10 - enjoyed the "remix" of the blackberry chutney and the spicy Nashville chicken because it gave a good balance of sweet and spicy! Waffles were soft & easy to eat. We also got the Redfish with pilaf and asparagus which was also very good!

We were staying at the Hyatt place downtown and were looking for a place a quick drink and a bite a little late. Of all the joints around, this place was the busiest so took a shot. I am glad for oncewe did not look at the reviews or we might have avoided this place.The service is fast and its noticable immediately. We got the peach shine cocktail and it was greeeeat, along with an IPA that was good too. At the end we got the ghost in theachine IPA and that was amazingIn between the drinks we got the chicken fettuccine and that was decent too.The ambience is nice, the seating is comfy, the only thing I can't figure out is why are they rated low.We loved it.

Really like it all- the owner, the service, the hostess, the food and prices and the fact that I can go by boat.

This is the first time eating at a restaurant with fingers. There is not fork to server my table.
