Loved this place. Knew the former owner, Chris. Took my kids here often. Sadly is now closed, J&J Pizza Shack is now at this location. Very good pizza, some of the best in the area.

This is a nice little bar. I went here to wait out the time between the wedding and reception. The staff are friendly. The drinks are inexpensive and nicely put together! The interior and exterior of the bar are not the most beautiful, but it has a cozy feel to it.

I Street Tavern is now Daddy O's. We have tried Daddy O's twice now and the food isn't bad. The first time we had a Tuesday Night special: Cheeseburgers and fries. The burgers were better that any fast food joint in La Porte; I would class them on par with Loui's on Lincoln Way. Tonight, we called in a 14-inch pizza with sausage and 1/2 the pizza with pineapple. Honestly, the first bite wasn't that great; but the second bite was a lot better and by the end of the pizza, my wife and I gave it 2 thumbs up. We use to buy pizzas at the Warehouse; but I think they changed owners and they kind of suck now. Finding a decent pizza in La Porte is next to impossible; too much ketchup, too much dough, too much cheese. Daddy O's pizza is spot on. The restaurant itself isn't anything to brag about; but it has the small town charm going on

I have some major pros and major cons regarding I Street Tavern. Let's start with the cons so that things end on a positive note. The air is terribly smokey and I am a smoker. You WILL leave here smelling worse than a bar or an ashtray and will need to shower immediately upon arriving home. The decor is pretty bad. I get that they want to support the local town teams but there is a much more stylish way to do that than what they have chosen. To be frank, it looks cheap and tacky. After many attempts at a nice dinner there, it is always mediocre and the salad bar is beyond disgusting. I will admit, I have yet to try their pizza which is, apparently, what they are known for so please keep this in mind when reading this review. Their website needs serious updating as it advertises specials from 3 or 4 holidays ago and are no longer valid. The upside: The owner Chris is incredibly nice and generous, the people there are always wonderful and having fun with their customers which makes for a great experience if you just want to go out for a few beers, the jukebox has a respectable selection of music, it's laid out well with regard to the floor plan and the staff is pretty great. Overall, not too impressed but it has its small-town charm.

Awesome food and great value! The Decor could use a little tlc but who cares when you get to enjoy such wonderful food.

The food is good. The air is smokey. The service is mediocre. BUT, the pizza is really really really really yummy. We usually get the deep dish and take it home. Worth the long wait!

I've ordered only once and it was only pizza, but that's what I do best , so---Visit their site, looks fun. I was in La Porte overnight for work, and craved pizza, but was wary of the usual chains (Papa John's, Domino's, Pizza hut). Researched the Yellow Pages and came across this place. Serves a whole variety, but what caught my eye was the Chicago Style Deep Dish AND New York Style Thin!! I got the Deep Dish and crossed my fingers. It was quick delivery to the hotel and the pizza was hot. Crust was tasty but seemingly different than regular deep dish dough. Was it because they had the dough in a cold- rise? (Ahh, too technical). Doesn't matter. Good crust. Check. Now, I can be wrong but it seemed to be dough, my 1st ingredient, cheese, my 2nd ingredient, and more cheese, topped with sauce. I got mushrooms on there and they were amazingly tasty. Doubt they were canned. Pizza not runny at all. Sauce was zesty and garlic-y, with the garlic being more of an immediately smell and a pleasant aftertaste (garlic powder?). My ONLY problem was that the amount could be more. Don't get me wrong, there was enough for normal eating, but I like-a da sauce, so next time I get EXTRA sauce. Which is funny too, because they have 4 different sauces:Basic Red, Bourbon (just a hint in the basic),Barbecue, and White (Alfredo). And the ingredients? Here's a small list from the site: Pepperoni, Black Olives, Sausage, Prime Rib, Black Olives, Ground Beef, Tomatoes, Portabella Mushrooms, Bacon, Pepperoncinis, Jalapeno, Chicken, Lobster, Horseradish, Saur Kraut, Red Onions, Pineapple, Ham, Green Olives, Red And Green Peppers, Onion Petals, Shrimp, And basically anything you see on our menu, we can put on a pizza!!! Prime Rib on pizza?!?! Hell yeah! In a strange way, I can't wait to travel there again(even though it's for work), because their menu is incredible. Nearby? Give it a try.
