Wild Geese Tavern

I was only at the bar here, i didn't eat so i can't attest to the food quality.

I drove past this place i don't know how many times without realizing it was there...  It's tucked away in a corner of a shopping complex.  The drinks were strong and well made.  It was a busy night so it took a while to get our first round, which concerned me... But after that our waitress was on top of it and had new drinks for us right away.

Since it was crowded we were sitting outside, we smoke anyway so that worked for us.  It was a special crawfish night, so i don't if it's that crowded on a normal Saturday...  I'll definitely go back and look into that... Now that i know the place is there it's convenient for me on nights i don't feel like trekking all the way into the city...

Visited with 3 friends on a saturday at 3:30, not busy, but sat at the bar so that we would get fast service. After 15 minutes, we placed our drink order, after 20 additional minutes those drinks arrived. (we were AT the bar, we ordered 3 sodas and one frozen margarita) The crawfish that were ordered with our drinks, were never put in so we had to order again, along with some chips and salsa. It took another 30 minutes for that. We had to BEG to get our checks and get out of there. Took 2 hours to get 1 drink and some chips/crawfish.... They never checked on us, not once. Crawfish were Not as good as they used to be either.
At least this time I didn't see roaches scurrying up the wall.
We won't ever go back.

My husband and I moved to the Pearland area in July of 2012. We have/ had a really, really great crawfish place off N 290 relatively close to where I teach in Cypress where we used to go for crawfish, hotwings, and beer before we got married and moved to the Manvel/ Pearland area closer to his office. Wild Geese Tavern had bad reviews for service, atmosphere, but relatively good crawfish reviews despite their other hang ups in 2011 and 2012. Against odds, we decided to try it for my birthday dinner despite the early season for crawfish and the really bad reviews, and I will have to say, for a girl who grew up with really nice birthday restaurants in downtown Houston, WGT has changed staff or something bc the service was fantastic and very attentive AND for a Friday night! The DJ was great, my husband even commented on how much he enjoyed the mix of the music, and the crawfish, while small as early in the season it was, was really fantastic! While a good kind of spicy, it was buttery, sweet and absolutely delicious! We will certainly be going there again, and, if we dont stay for the music and the pool, we'll definitely be ordering 5-10 lbs of crawfish for take out for the weekend on the patio!!!
