Old Trading Post

Drove 6 miles out of the way to eat here on a Sunday afternoon. Unilocal states they were open. Got there and it evidently is only open on special events.

I love this places food! Some of the best food I’ve tasted it’s burgers and there fries and oh yeah those awesome fried pickles! I gave them a lower score because as someone already mentioned there always closed for weddings and now they basically do crawfish boils all the time! Not the place I remmeber

It was great while it lasted, but the old trading post seems only to be open for special events. Example, crawfish to Zydeco + beer = enough reason to go. But you’ve got to check their website for dates. For instance, there’s one today, March 15, 2015. Sigh.

Came for a company Christmas Party and had a blast! Didn’t have live music when we went but we played Jenga and washers and had fun. The drink prices are great! I think a beer was $ 3. It’s way out in the middle of no where but with a large outside area and bar it would be a nice place to listen to a band play. The bar was pretty small so if it’s packed I can see it taking awhile to get a drink.

Loved this place, wished there was more places like it. Came into town to visit a loved one and he took me to the crawfish boil there today. Great food and the live music was amazing

Okay went to this place last Saturday after leaving the depressing Ice House bar. That’s another story. The characters (patrons) you will meet in this bar is what will make you want to go.
We walked in and ordered a beer. You’ll only get bottled beer so if you want to get a draft, you’ll need to go somewhere else. Also there is liquor but I don’t know if it is a fully stocked bar. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered some fried green beans which was good. I saw what others ordered and thought I should have gotten that. One person ordered a type of nachos and another fish sandwich. Even though we didn’t know these individuals they offered us a bite and both were pretty good for bar food. The other guy had the BBQ and he was hungry and didn’t offer so I didn’t get to taste it.
You are probably wondering why the high rating. Well I didn’t have a problem getting a drink (not wait long) and the people that was there was awesome. If you are there when Tina is there, you’re in for a treat. If it was a little closer to me, I would be there a lot more often just to people watch and just chat with others.

Ehhh… disappointed to say the least. I read on facebook they had 1 dollar wells. When we got there everyone stared, felt judged. Felt more like a locals bar. Sat down for 10 mins, no one came to us so we went to the bar to order. Then I asked what specials they had. She said they didnt have any. Okay then, i guess no dollar wells. got a beer. Sat down… expected someone to come take our food order. No one ever came. I dont know if there was somewhere else we were supposed to order? Anyways, drank my beer. Felt uncomfortable, hot, and just ready to leave due to the poor lack of service we got. NOT ONE PERSON CAME TO TALK TO US THE ENTIRE TIME. Needless to say, the wasted gas was not worth the one beer I had and horroble service. I might give it another try, but I was very disappointed. Expected much better.

I have visited this establishment a few times and definitely experienced better service and colder beer. On my first visit the beer was cold and the crawfish were on point. However, on my second visit the waitstaff was very inattentive and the beer was rodeo warm at best.

Impossible to booked an event in this venue. Very bad administrated and very careless the person on the other side of the phone.

This used to be a great place to go for dancing and having a great bbq meal, but now eat before you go there or you will be very disappointed. They are always out of potato salad, chicken etc. You’ll have to have fries with your brisket (which is just okay, not the best) and the beans are canned pork and beans. I could pay less for a better bbq plate somewhere else, and have potato salad and home cooked pinto beans. We got there before 5pm on a Sunday and the didn’t have any chicken or potato salad. The brisket was full of a lot of fat. For $ 10.99 a plate, I felt it was not worth half that.
Another thing you have to pay attention to is how much they charge you for beer. Thursdays are ladies night and beer is supposed to be only $ 1. but they will charge you full price unless you keep track of your tab and point out the error to them. If you only want to go to a country setting and listen to music and drink beer I’d say it’s a nice place. Just don’t plan on having a good meal there. Either eat before or after.

Probably the best hang out in Houston. Great venue, excellent food and cold beer. Add live entertainment and what more do you want. Worth the drive.

Country ice house right outside the city, beautiful area, ladder golf, pool tables, live band :)
