Norton’s Texas Grill & Pub

It’s not the best food I’ve ever had but I would definitely say this place serves much more than bar food. Their chips and queso are delicious as well as their mozzerella sticks and their onion rings. Not bad Happy Hour prices and offers but not the best I’ve had.

We host live team trivia at Norton’s Pub in Houston, TX every Tuesday night at 7pm!!! There are house cash prizes for the Top Three teams each week! Plus, teams compete for a quarterly cash prize AND the Beer Brain Cup which gets them FREE beer refills during Trivia!!!

I’ve never been to Norton’s for anything but Beer Brain Trivia on Tuesday nights.
It’s a great crowd and vibe. Cheap drinks, fun people. If you’ve never been to a trivia night, I suggest you go.
There are usually about 9 to 10 groups of people playing. The first place winner of the night gets a $ 50 gift certificate, second place $ 25 and third place $ 10.
It’s a really fun way to hang out with your friends at a bar with something interesting to do!

The happy hour crowd was just that, crowded but it created this vivacious and fun environment then around 7:30pm the crowd died down and so did all the fun. They brought the bill and my two girlfriends tab was $ 3 for (2) beers and mine was $ 12 for (1) Macallan Scotch. That is ridiculous, I won’t do that again. This is not my favorite place for happy hour.

Great bar in the ²⁴⁹⁄₁₉₆₀ area. I also like that its smoke free. Tuesday nights are pretty cool because they have live team trivia going on from 7−9pm. I would try the buffalo chicken sandwhich, very good and big enough to share!

I’m am not the best at Trivia but I must say that Trivia Night at Norton’s is an experience like no other. The guy they have doing Trivia makes the night a lot of fun. If your looking for a good time and want to try something a little different I would suggest giving Norton’s a shot on Tuesday nights.

Norton’s Pub is a great place to hang out, especially on Tuesday nights for Team Trivia. I’m no trivia buff but the food is good, the drinks are better and the atmosphere for Team Trivia is the best! I’ve been going pretty regularly despite my «no going out during the work week» rule. Team Trivia makes it worth it.

We went here last night to celebrate my mom’s 50^th birthday. We made reservations a month in advance only to find out upon arrival that the «reserved» signs on the patio tables were for another party… of 200. The manager (I’m assuming that’s who he was) seemed disinterested in helping us until I put a lid on Shirley Temple and told him he needed to fix the problem. I mean, we were even nice enough to call Norton’s that morning to inform them that our party went from 40 to 20. I guess that was our mistake. Even though we made reservations a month in advance I feel like they didn’t care about our business since they had a party of 200. They did manage to put some tables together for us but that was not the end of the terrible service. Did I mention they closed us out at 9:45??? Um, Norton’s you close at 2 a.m. We didn’t ask to close out. I guess they needed to make room for their other party who didn’t book in advance. It wasn’t like we were just taking up space… we ordered alcohol and food and were willing and ready to consume more alcohol. However, I noticed that the other patrons who shared the patio with us were not handed little white slips of paper that ever so subtly read «GET OUT!»
Thanks Norton’s for making my mother’s birthday memorable in the worst way possible. I totally agree with Delia… management didn’t seem to care. But hey who needs 20 regulars when you have an occasional party of 200. I will NOT be coming back.

I’ve been to this location twice and won’t be back. We went Saturday hoping to find a place to watch the A&M/Arkansas game. We waited 10 min on the hostess to find out if they had high chairs and if they’d be showing the game. We finally were told they had high chairs and she pointed us to the TVs that would be showing the game. We then waited another 10 minutes and found out that they were showing the game, however the sound would be for the Alabama game. No issue with that, but after waiting 20 minutes to find out we couldn’t hear the game we wanted to see, we decided to leave.
As we walked out the manager asked what happened and when I explained that we wanted to hear the A&M game, he replied with an «Oh, ok.» Obviously they didn’t want our business. The first trip there we had the same issue when we were part of a large group asking to change the sound to the Cowboy’s game. Apparently since it is a «Texans» bar they can’t play sound for any other games. Even if the Texans aren’t playing.

Service is non exsiting here. Waited 10 mins to get a hi. Another few times back to figure out our drink order. Hum… had to come back and ask if how I wanted my chicken on the salad and then again for the dressing. Hope the foods better than the wait staff. Boiled shrimp was very good but for the price of a grilled chicken salad 13.95 it was less than average.

My wife and I have been in here a few times now and the fact that we return now and then means we don’t dislike the place, it just is that there is nothing really that makes it stand out.
Don’t get me wrong, they have a lot of room inside with plenty of waitstaff running around (ala hooters style shorts). The food is good and there is a good selection of beer.
But to be honest, I find Brickhouse on 290 better on the food and beer front. Yet I will say that Nortons always seems to have a good crowd so perhaps if my wife and I were into the bar scene more than the going out for a bit and a beer mode, we would click better.

The Fellas and I were driving home from the Texans Draft Party at Reliant and we didn’t’ wanna call it a night. Sports Radio 610 was doing a remote broadcast so we decided to check this joint out. If you’re familiar with the Willowbrook area Norton’s is next to PF Chang’s where Taco Milagro used to be. When I walked in I was surprised the place had a BBQ/​Brickhouse style to it with TV’s everywhere. Norton’s had big projection screens in the main bar and I guess you can call it the dining area. On the side of the dining area they had a couple of I guess you can call them stands where the tap was right in front of you and all the waiter or waitress had to do was walk over to where you was and pour you your favorite draft of brew, we all thought that was a pretty cool feature and they have a wide selection on tap and bottle. The patio is nice as well with plenty of room to walk around and mingle with different folks and the band had a lot of room to jump on stage and put on a show. My only complaint was the main bar area was a lil packed but the bartender ladies they have made worth the trip to the bar. The service was friendly and atmosphere was great. We had ate about 30,000 calories earlier at the draft party so we were too stuffed to try the food or even look at the menu. Whether you’re catching a sporting event, on a date, or looking for a place to chill with your crew. If you’re ever in the Willowbrook area stop by for a drink and check it out!

For my 100^th review I had to go with NORTON’s, because I just happen to be a Norton.
This is where some good friends had their wedding after party!
They had live music that was OK. But he sang almost all songs requested by the bride and groom.
I only tried the beer since we ate a ton at the wedding. Great selection of beer.
The only downside was they were out of t-​shirts. I tried to buy one off of every bartender there w/​o any luck whatsoever. I guess I will check back later. I did get a great glass though.
Thanks Norton’s. Get some shirts already!

We asked our waitress if they carried Dos XX Ambar and she said yes. So we ordered them, and our waitress brought back regular Dos XX and we politely let her know that she had the wrong order. Her response was that she couldn’t tell the difference and just found out that they did not carry it.
So we had Coronas, grubbed and got out. We had high hopes for this place; we should have just gone to Willie’s. Usually at a bar, all I would care about is about the drinks, but we were having dinner too. Service is big to me and I felt that it was lacking in some areas.
On a sweet note (I always have to try dessert), their chocolate brownie was awesome. That alone, might bring me back. Yeah, a brownie and Guinness would go well together!
