Big Bertha’s

In my opinion this is a local bar to the T. If you are looking for some crazy bumpin out of control crowd then this isn’t the place for you. I also want to add that if you don’t like a «smelly stinky tabaco bar» then go to Mc Donalds to order your burger and fries. This is an adult bar and smoker friendly, what I like about that is that this bar caters to a mature crowd. Older people like to unwind to and I also think it’s awesome that after I’ve had a few drinks I’m not forced to go out side and smoke a cigarette if its ass cold, raining or hot as hell. If you are a typical whinney crying complainy kind of person then this bar isn’t for you. I suggest chuckie cheeze. If you don’t live around here and are a visitor this is a great bar to let loose and unwind and not have to worry about what the locals will think.

Having just read the latest review, I was quite surprised and absolutely disagree. The burgers are excellent, as you will see from multiple reviews below, The steaks as well as catfish, etc. are also excellent. The owner is personable to salty, and pretty besides… and very focused on customer needs. It seems like a Texas version of Cheers… personalities included, with an incredible mix of backgrounds… all warm and friendly. It is a welcoming and relaxing place. There is a fair amount of smoking at night… so if it bothers you, there is less in the afternoon. Everybody sees something different in Bertha’s, and because of that there is something for everyone. Great place that lacks pretension.

As a resident of Walden, I have tried this place 3 times. Each time has been equally consistent with a 1 star rating. It’s very divvy. Locals and drunks scare off patrons. The smell of smoke is so overbearing, that even getting a to-​go order makes you smell like an ash tray. The bartender (woman) talks with locals and will not acknowledge anyone else. It’s really a shame. You think that a small place like this would try and drum up new clients that are moving to the neighborhood, but alas, it’s not happening. The décor reminds me of an old bar my great uncle use to own. Old, shabby (and not the right kind of shabby) and just outdated.
The food, oh the food. The only place that has given me food poisoning from a burger. The bun was overly buttered. The lettuce was wilted. The Tomato was sad. Really sad. There was no love made to this burger. Instead of buying a fancy cast iron to brand your burger with a B… maybe put that money into some good veggies. I don’t know, just a suggestion. The meat was more sad than the tomato if that is possible. I should have know when I got home (a few minute walk) and the burger was ice cold in the middle. Raw. Fries were droopy.
One of my former acquaintances spoke highly of this place. I should have known that one that values the seafood restaurant down the road on 105, in Montgomery, said this place has good burgers. That in fact, was a farce. There was nothing good about this food, the catfish (on Friday during Lent) or the lasagna was going to be tasty about this place.
I was actually at the gas station next door to this place and almost had a drunk hit my car as he was pulling out of his parking spot. Over serving, yes! It’s happening.
For my fellow Unilocalers, if you are new to the neighborhood and not a regular to this place, stay away. It’s not worth the smell of smoke your clothes will reek of until you wash them twice (yes, twice!) to get the smell out. The customer service lacks and it’s just one place that if you value your money and time, move along to another place.

Great place to get away and watch the game. Always a friendly crowd and the owner is quite a character.

I guess you could call this place a hole in the wall. Whatever it is, I love it. The owner cracks me up, she’s always making jokes and entertaining her patrons. Not only is the service good, the food is excellent! If you are new to the area or looking for a great local place, BB’s is perfect.

Great atmosphere. Is an established neighberhood stop. Try their steaks as the service is ok as you are welcome to stay, not be turned around for another open table to fill. A good place to relax as a stop or after a round of golf at the Walden Club.

Great burger and the cashier was super friendly. Was ready right when they said it would be and was hot and fresh!

Great food. Great people. Could be a little bigger but still fun. Come hang with the Walden peeps.

Stinky, smelly, bar. The food is good, but get it to go and hold your nose while you go in to get it.
Frank is good, the owner gets more rude the more she drinks. She doesn’t like women for sure.
It needs a good cleaning, And a ventilation system.

My wife and I came over from San Antonio to visit a friend. We stopped in at his favorite watering hole. It was a cozy bar with friendly (everyone knows your name) people. When we got hungry, our friend said they had a pretty decent grill. We had filet’s that were comparable to Mortons or The Palm. The quality was outstanding. Next day we decided that if the steaks were that good, the burgers were probably pretty good. RIGHT AGAIN. I won’t even mention the baby backs we took to go. The owner is fun to talk to, and the bartender, Frank makes some serious concoctions. Final take is «if you’re in this area, «try it, you’ll like it».

My wife and I were in Montgomery/​Conroe for the weekend. We rented a condo on the lake & this place was only 1 mile away. We dropped by on both Friday & Saturday evening.
The first night, we were only there for drinks. It was early fall & most of the patrons were locals. We chatted with several people including the owner, bartender, and a few regulars. Everyone was quite pleasant, and we found the owner quite interesting.
On Saturday, we originally intended on eating at Wolfies, but after having an appetizer, we decided to go to Big Bertha’s for a burger. We’d seen a couple come out of the kitchen the night before & they looked good. We certainly made the right decision. No, no, it wasn’t the best burger I’ve ever had. I would classify it as really reasonably priced & well above average considering this place is more bar than restaurant.
If asked the ultimate question, «Would you recommend this place to friends & family?» …I certainly will!
Based on the fact this place is a predominantly a bar & they allow smoking, it may not be for everyone. If you’re looking for a great neighborhood bar, with fair prices & a relaxed atmosphere, check it out.

Old drinkers bar. Food is all right for a bar. Good service. Smokey dark hole for serious drinkers. The lady that owns it is from Poland and in there drinking every day.
The people are nice.
