I visited the Forbidden Gardens on a beautiful New Year's Eve. We arrived at noon but had to wait until the 1pm tour which was a little annoying but we had a video and some exhibits to look at in the meantime. The tour was very interesting - the gardens had thousands of clay replicas shipped in from China to recreate the underground armies of Emperor Qin of China. If you aren't familiar with the story (or if you are) it is an intriguing one and seeing the clay replicas of soldiers and buildings in the "Forbidden City" made me want to learn more about the ancient history of Chinese civilization. It is kind of out in the middle of nowhere but you can get there from Houston in less than an hour.

Chick-fil-A is already the best quick-service (not to be confused with fast food) restaurant. This one in particular is the best Chick-fil-A. All the employees are nice and the drive-thru is fast. Highly recommended.

I grew up watching my dad using "Craftsman" tools. Now that I'm married, my husband also uses and swears by them. Sears Hardware stores are part of a company with a name that is known and has "stood the test of time." There's something to be said for that in our society! They also carry brands, like Craftsman, that are well-known and trustworthy (at least according to the men in my life!).
In addition to carrying a large variety of "tools" including everything from screwdrivers to chainsaws, they also carry things like patio furniture, paint, and even household appliances. It's not as big as stores like Home Depot or Loews, but I kind of like that because it's not as overwhelming, either. Every time I have visited this location, the employees are always friendly and knowledgeable (which I can't say for Home Depot and Loews locations that I have visited in the area). They have always been patient, willing to answer all of my questions, and helpful in making suggestions about products and gift ideas.
About a year ago, we were in the market for a refrigerator for our new home. We shopped around and Sears Hardware had the best deals. We also really appreciated that the associate who assisted us was very knowledgeable and gave us the breakdown in features on different models which looked the same from the outside but were very different in what they had to offer. A year later, we are still pleased with this purchase!
This store is a great place to go if you're looking for a gift for your father, husband, or any other men in your life. I always check it out for Christmas, birthdays, and Father's Day. They have ads that come out in our Sunday paper here, and sometimes they have some really good deals. If you have a Sear's card, they sometimes offer great promotional financing offers (like 0% and no payments for a year).

I love the food here. It is the best TEX-MEX I have tasted in the Katy area next to Los Cucos. My family loves this place and we eat there once a week at least. The wait staff is friendly and will remember you from previous visits usually. The food is delicious! The management is nice and courteous. My favorite dessert would be their fried ice cream. If you have got room left in your stomach, give it a try. You won't regret it. My family and I will continue to frequent this establishment whenever we have a TEX-MEX craving.
Pros: Great food, excellent service, friendly management

Went to Swampy's today around 12:30 in the afternoon and the place was hoppin. Lots of people enjoying good food. Wife had oysters on the half shell and a cup of seafood gumbo. I had a bowl of the chicken and sausage gumbo. She said the oysters were very cold and tasted clean and refreshing and she said her gumbo was wonderful. The chicken and sausage gumbo was thick and spicy and had an amazing flavor. Must have been the andouille sausage but it was phenomenal. Service was prompt and attentive. Highly recommend this place for good cajun food.
Pros: great food, good sincere service
Cons: none

We love Johnny Carino's so we decided to get it catered for a small party we had. We went to a meeting to set up what food we wanted and the staff was very gracious and helpful and let us sample everything that we wanted catered!! The prices they gave us were very reasonable & we felt very happy with the negotiations. When we got the food on the day of catering everything was perfect except they had put meat in one dish which was supposed be vegetarian but they quickly fixed that and took it off the bill. Overall we will surely get catering from them again, especially for a party of about 15 - 25 people.

We decided to check this place out on a reccommendation, and it looked pretty generic, like a lot of mexican places we've been to in Houston. It was full on friday at 7:30, but not crowded, so we had no wait getting a table for 2, but we did have a problem finding parking, which is unusual in Katy. Due to a mixup with the servers, we had quite a wait in placing our orders, but once done, service was quick, friendly, and familiar. We loved (LOVED) the chips and salsas they brought out, fresh from the oven we could see on the patio, and that really set the tone. Margaritas were OK (skip the strawberry rita), and well priced. The fresh guacamole was absolutely delicious, and a small was plenty for two. When we first ordered, I asked about the tamales since I love them, and our server advised us not to try them, as they weren't anything special. When our orders came out I was slightly disappointed because it all looked so generic, but I was in for a surprise. The chicken had great flavors, the tortillas were amazing, the stuffed avocado was crisp, and the mexican rice was fresh. It even tasted great the next day after being microwaved. Fantastic place, we'll definitely be back.
Pros: great food, nice patios, friendly service, good pricing
Cons: not enough parking on busy days
