The Yellow Retriever Pub & Grill

Stopped by here for a beer and fortunately we ordered food!!! What a great wait staff and the food was amazing! Don't just drive by...trust me!!!

We found this place years ago on our way home from a festival in Chappell Hill, TX. So glad we did. Been back many times. Yes it is a bar and yes they allow smoking but the doors are usually open, they have plenty of outdoor seating, and the best burger anywhere near The Woodlands. The patties are hand formed half pound slabs of beefy goodness. So you're not getting a frozen or machine formed hockey puck. I appreciate this. They also hand make the onion rings and they are the best around as well. As far as the burger goes it is the standard lettuce, tomato, and pickle accoutrements but they actually take the time to melt the cheese on the burger before serving it. So many places slap cold cheese on a burger and send it. Not here. Not ever. On the bottom bun is a slather of "special sauce" that will have you making noises as you eat. And the bun is a classic sesame seed bun. Not the jalapeño cheddar defrosted Sysco bun everywhere around Houston has went to lately. I'm basic. I love this. If you're ever heading west on 1488 just south of Magnolia and you're even a little bit hungry, go to here. You won't regret it.

If your looking for a fancy classy bar and grill.....keep going. This place is a bit of a dive bar inside and then outside is set up for dining. We really liked the atmosphere and the food was great! Service was really good and we love that it's only 5 minutes from the house. Will definitely go back!

Best burgers in town!! Keto lettuce burger was wonderful!! Super nice and friendly bar tender!! Introduce me to Mexican candy shot. Awesome!

Good Hamburgers, fried mushrooms and onion rings ! Ate outside on the patio, good space for little one to run around and not get into anything! Owner provided great service. Only suggestion would be get a couple of new picnic tables. You can't escape car noise when sitting outside but we really didn't notice after a bit. First time here and will go back again.

Exactly what you think of when you think of a dive bar out in the country; they're not trying to be anything special, but that makes it even more endearing! Theres a large deck area (lots of smoking) the front bar area is home to some friendly regulars, and there's pool in the back room of you dare try to get in on a game. The drinks were cheap and the service was friendly enough. Now that we got brave and tried it, we probably won't be back though...

It's a nice little neighborhood bar, chill spot to have a beer. The staff was nice and the clientele was friendly as well.

The best food and service you will find in the magnolia area! Try their blackened shrimp!! Very spicy, and flavorful!!

Stopped by for a break and ended up staying! Staff was great, customers friendly and Grant (the owner) was so attentive, knowledgeable and caringThis is our new spot!!!

Very cool bar. Food was surprisingly great! BLT was perfectly toasted and proportioned. Cali burger was one of the best we've tried. New to the area and found this on day one. Will be coming back often.
