Stats Sports Bar and Grill

This place had two things that were phenomenal… the rest were just OK.
1) the chicken strips sandwich on Texas toast with onion rings was one of the best non BBQ Texas things I’ve had. It was amazing. Fried chicken strips were delicious on their own but the sandwich was full fat heaven.
2) the $ 7 enormous glasses of shiner. When they say everything is bigger in texas… this is one of those examples of Yay bigger in Texas.
Overall it’s a normal sports bar with trivia, lots of tvs, and a decent patio but those 2 things made for a great game watching experience

So I have been going here for years, and I have to say it is deteriorating. So when it first opened, I was excited to have a Sports Bar here locally, and they really seemed to be trying. The burgers were really good, and reasonably priced. I used to go their for lunch just to have their burger. But over the years, the quality has gone down while the prices have gone up. 4 years ago? A nice lunchtime burger for about $ 7. Now? A smaller version of the same burger, but it is like $ 12. We have been going their for Trivia for years, and this last Wednesday might have been my last based upon typical experience. Sure, I will have a beer… arrives luke-​warm. Burger. Would I like onion rings? Well… since a few years ago you went to some really bad school cafeteria qualify French fries, and you quit offering the homemade potato chips, I guess I will upgrade to the onion rings (for another $ 2). Wife orders nachos, and they are about as good as the ones we get when we go slumming and play bingo at the VFW (which cost about ¹⁄₃ as much, even if they aren’t on a «fancy» black square plate). I’ve been there with folks who were in the restaurant industry for years, and even they remarked at the really sub-​par food (and kinda high prices). I think the new bars opening up is putting a hurting on them, and I have tried to stay loyal, but it’s getting tough when the newer, bigger, nicer bar across the street will give me cheaper colder beers, better cheaper food, and now they have trivia on Wednesday too. I think Stats has just quit trying… it’s too bad.

The drinks are great, but more expensive than other bars in the area. The wait staff varies a lot, I have had several mess ups on my bills but hopefully with a high turnover rate, things have changed. Most recently I had a visit where I didn’t encounter any problems. Great place to go watch sports, maybe not if you just want to hang out. It gets pretty loud after all! It’s somewhere I will go back to for sports only now.
I didn’t know people still did this in the 21^st century, but I went with my husband straight after getting back from the lake. My husband was wearing shorts and a tank top. The waitress came and took our order, and then she came back and let us know that the manager said we could not be served since my husband was wearing a tank top. Don’t go after the lake or the beach, apparently they won’t take your money at that point.

If I could give this place negative stars, I would. Management and the owners suck. The lighting is too bright and the manager/​owner is a complete douche bag. I ordered a beer that did not taste good and asked for a replacement. He proceeded to tell me, «it’s not a taste test» and refused to take the beer off my tab… and charged me for a beer I didn’t drink. This owner was such a tool. I’ll never go back here and put money in his pocket. As a former restaurant owner and someone who has been in the business for years, taking what costs them .80 off a $ 100 tab doesn’t seem like much to keep a regular customer happy. Don’t go here because they don’t care about their customers.

This place is awesome! Me and my husband frequent here often. Waitresses and bartenders always remember what we drink and make us feel like home! If you want a family owned spot, this is the place to be for your sports activities!

I just moved here from Houston, and all my friends told me to never go to Stats. I should’ve listened.
I’d give it one star, but I’m making an exception because I could watch the game there.
I wondered why I was the only one in the whole place ordering food. I now know why, the hard way. I feel so sick to my stomach, with both nausea and regret. Worst $ 30 spent
I’m never Goin back.
Instead of having a million, crappy & cheap things on the menu, try having less items that are of better quality. They will sell better.

Went to stats last week to catch a football game! Place had a huge projection screens, showing most the games. Waitresses were quick to refill the buckets of beer which always helps, and the burgers were on point!
Didn’t have the audio for the game, but we ended up just talking more about the game, so it worked out anyways!
Heard the place gets a strong Texans turn out, so hoping to make it out for a game soon!

So you learn about a new place in your area (new to me) and you make it a point to find some time to try it out. You finally got the right night the right time to give it a try and you expect it to be everything you wished it to be, as it’s located in a booming area where everything entertainment closes at 10 PM. So a sports bar would make it perfect for the area… right? Right!
Well not this one. Let me start off with why I’m giving it 1 star.
NO it’s not that it’s a smoke bar. Somebody please tell the owners that smoke bar are so out dated right now.
NO it’s not that the bar service includes mostly guys and below average service.
NO it’s not even that I suspect that somebody there is refilling bottles.
BUT… it’s that this place is beyond N.A.S.T.Y.
They got good deals on shots so I ordered one… the glass came with a ring around the inside of dirtiness. Too bad I caught it AFTER I drank it. Then the bartender took my glass… dipped it in water for 1.8 seconds… then placed it on a stack to give to another guest. I was shocked. Heck no not another one of these places!!! I watched them do it time after time after time again after taking them from customers and serve those dirty glasses to other patrons.
So glad I didn’t get anything to eat there after watching that, but I still got sick later that night and I know it had to have been liquor poisoning. No it wasn’t from too much to drink. it was from that nasty a$$ bar. And I totally wasted $ 10 bucks in the jukebox as I will never return to this place.
Sorry Stats, I really wanted to like you guys. Great location, great idea to have a bar there, plenty of TV’s and great drink deals, but a suck staff with suck cleaning habits and a suck smoky atmosphere.
Suck and Prosper!

Great bar! Drinks were nicely priced and on par. Will keep going back. Yay trivia Wednesday.

Every time I come to Houston I have to hit this place up. And every time I come something cool is going on. Either a poker tournament, Golden tee tournament, water parks outside and cook offs. The size is great and the drinks well priced. The best thing about this place is the people that work there. It’s awesome that they take the time to talk to you and is even cooler they have their own competitions going on like when they get to create their own shooter and try to sell it off. It’s always fun, and always seems like a giant family. I tell everybody about this place. The only flaw is the size of the bathroom and it’s a smoking bar. But then again I’m from California so smoking in a bar is taboo for me.

Thoroughly not convinced this is a place for a lady such as myself. I went inside for lunch two weeks ago and was in shock. I was very scared while inside and pretty much took my order to go.

Went to a Stats in Atlanta and had decent expectations for this location and boy was I disappointed. I didn’t expect much food quality wise with the crawfish only being $ 2.99/lb, but they didn’t tell us about any of the other specials and the place was setup like a high school cafeteria. $ 56 later and a very disappointed wife, I would not recommend this location at all. Big screen was nice to watch the game but that’s about it.

Visited this place a few times during a recent trip to Houston. Food wasn’t terrible and service was great the first night. The second time I came back our initial waitress was very nice and provided great service, but then she transferred our table over to another waitress. She was not nice, and barely visited our table. My drink was empty for 20 minutes at one point. When we left her a 10% tip for sub mediocre service, she followed us outside and sarcastically thanked us very loudly. Honestly, I like this place, but that experience really ruined it for me.

Stats is a great bar for watching the game — whatever game it is you’re watching. They have screens EVERYWHERE and tuned in to different stations, so no matter where you’re sitting, you’re guaranteed a good spot to watch some sports.
It can get a bit smokey, since they do allow smoking inside the bar, which of course for the smokers out there, is a win. For the rest of us (especially those of us already suffering from spring allergies), not so much.
The food is not so great. Not terribly bad, but I mean, it’s bar food– not Michelin-​tier cuisine.
The service is a bit rocky as well — it takes a while for one of the servers to get around to you.
All-​in-​all, if you’re just looking for a place to watch a game and knock back a few cold ones, this will work just fine. If you’re looking for a little more in your experience, I guess you could look elsewhere.

The atmosphere is great for your favorite sporting event/​game or UFC fight. Gigantic and plentiful TVs won’t let you miss a moment of the action. Great beer selection.
The food is bar food. Well, duh, it’s a bar. That being said, most things on the menu really aren’t that bad. Greasy… oh, hell yeah, but not bad. What were you expecting? It’s a bar.
My only complaint with the place is the service. One day you get a really happy and friendly server. The very next day the exact same server is not so happy or friendly and just looks pissed off and takes those back-​of-​house frustrations out on you.
Worth checking out their events calendar; Poker, Bingo, Wing Nights, etc… Good atmosphere.

Great beer selection! I had a good bartender too but can’t remember his name. The soft-​tip dart boards were shoved in the corner to where it was hard to play on them. They could have a better set-​up. I do not have anything bad to say but nothing about the place was fantastic.

Showed up for Sunday football. Place was closed to packed. I counted at least 5 waitresses plus 2 bartenders. We sat at a table, and it took almost hour to get food. Food came out one plate at a time (not entire table at one time or close to the same time).
Waitress was nice, but not too attentive, I am sure hiding in back more than out. My glass remained empty much of time. Should have constantly been checking on drinks.
Food was expensive for a sports bar. $ 16 for burger with pulled pork. Sure, it should have been extra but it was not worth almost double from most other sports bar burgers. Soup was $ 5 in a tiny bowl.
I may go again, but not when there is a game on.

I came here with a few friends and I didn’t really like it. The biggest thing that bothered me was the inside smoking and the drinks were overpriced

No quite a 3 but not quite a 2. This place is okay in all aspects. The waitresses seem nice and helpful but not always the fastest. Not always super slow either, just slow enough to be noticed but not enough to piss you off. I think the problem is most of them are cute and spend too much time with the old men that flirt with them. Having said that this is an older crowd. I have been four times (live down the road) and the crowd was 90% 45+. A couple of cute girls and good looking guys (for the ladies) show up, but it is def. a place for a beer and a game, NOT to pick up a date. The food is very bar foodish. Mostly frozen stuff that’s been re-​heated. I did like the crawfish.
The smoking inside is a shame. I know smokers want to smoke, but guess what I don’t want to, and I don’t want to smell like shit all night, I don’t want my car to stink, and my house when I get home. They need to ban smoking inside. It’s not medication and you don’t NEED it, just like I don’t want it. The arcade games are alright, fake beer pong and, of course, a hunting game.
Trivia night seemed cool, even though I came in on the tail end of it. Would be worth checking that out again.
Basically, if your friends want to go for some quiet (ish) drinks there, then it won’t be horrible but if you are looking for an awesome night out, this is not the place.

The beer pricing was good for a Friday night. Service was only okay. It took forever for wait staff to come back. The biggest problem is the smoking inside. Can’t stand it. When given a choice I’d go elsewhere just because of that. It is a good place to watch games though. Tons of TVs inside and out. Decent place, wasn’t crowded for a rockets game.
