Their service fee of 23% is a fraud. You cannot decline it and waiters tell you it wont go for them.

Music was good. Prices on drinks was crazy. I ordered 4 lemon drops shots it was $99.75. They add a mandatory tip fee so if you’re not careful you’ll tip twice. I would avoid this place not worth it!

So when they had a little mix up with our reservation they could not have handled it any better. Got us seated and fast service so the 16 of us could get to the rodeo on time! The food was fabulous as always! Great managers and Greta was a fantastic waitress!

This was a masterpiece! Berg Hospitality group is superb. What an atmosphere! You are literally sitting in a tent and you can't even tell. The food was amazing. I had the wasabi tuna and my husband had the Ny Strip. The brussel sprouts weee delicious and we had the bed bread pudding I've ever had. This is a great addition to RodeoHouston!!

We would come back next year! We enjoyed lobster cocktail, a salad, and steak. We were originally seated at a table but asked to be seated in a booth as we have 2 young children and that worked out perfectly. They had a cheeseburger and fries. We finished our meal with a scoop of ice cream. Thank you!
fun pop up restaurant at the Houston rodeo and the ambiance did not disappoint! The food was good too but our steak came out cold the service was subpar for the price of what you are paying. But all for the experience at the rodeo so I wouldn't compare the service to B&Bs actual location. Highly recommend going but would be prepared to pay.
I have been coming here since they opened at rodeo and will continue to come back. Stellar service, made to order food, amazing atmosphere and just all around good time. All of the employees are extremely nice and you can tell they love their job and what they're doing. The menu also has a mix of everything to make it easy to have a large group with different tastes! 10 out of 10 recommend.

It was our first visit, so we didn't really know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised at how efficient it was run. However, getting food within two minutes of ordering was rushed. We had very little time to visit because food kept coming so quickly. Asia was our server, and she was delightful! Prices were expensive, but we expected that because of the venue. Would come back for the saloon and dancing after dinner next year for sure!

This place is simply amazing! The wagyu is soft and juicy. The filet was cooked to perfection. The Brussels were glazed in a sauce from so immaculate it could go on a dusty cowboy boot and someone would eat it.

Next time we'll just do appetizers or drinks. Amazing vibes. Service clunky but you gotta be patient with what is essentially an enormous temporary pop-up. Room is great. Food was delicious. Expense account prices but the rodeo is hard to do on the cheap. Just not a great value.
Third year visiting during rodeo and frequent visitor to B&B. This year left much to be desired, as the freshness of the ingredients and the overall taste of the food left a bad taste in our mouths. Literally. Upon arrival, the ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and the staff seemed friendly and accommodating. However, as I delved into my meal, it became apparent that something was amiss. Despite ordering dishes that should have showcased the freshness of the ingredients, such as salads and seafood, the flavors fell flat. Which I almost did myself because of no AC. One glaring issue was the sauces that accompanied the Surf and Turf. While they were meant to complement and enhance the flavors, they instead seemed to mask any freshness issues present in the food. The overpowering taste of the sauce (half cheese, half hollandaise taste) only served to highlight the lack of freshness in the ingredients, rather than enhancing the overall dining experience. Butter was listed on the menu but not what we received. Furthermore, there was a concerning hint of contamination in the taste of the food. There's no other explanation to what was done to the wagyu and lobster. Whether it was due to improper storage, handling, or sourcing of ingredients, it was evident that the quality of the dishes was compromised. This not only affected the taste but also raised concerns about the safety and hygiene standards practiced in the kitchen.

We ordered the filet mignon, extra rare, and it was cooked to profession with a delicious sear on the outside! Our wedge salad was fabulous with the tomatoes, juicy and delicious, and the blue cheese scrumptious! The sautéed spinach was sweet and had just the right amount of seasoning! The tuna tartare was a great way to start the meal!

This was our 5th time eating at this concept since it opened at Houston Rodeo back in 2022. As Rodeo volunteers we had access to come back each of those times and since we had wonderful experiences each time, that was why we were coming back. This last visit has to be the worst experience that I've had. To give you context our reservation was at 5pm on Sunday March 10th. This would be right in the middle of the rodeo show so the restaurant was nearly empty. I provide this context as to make the point that waiting on service should not have happened. Waiting on a server for 20 mins to greet our table then also waiting almost 30 minutes for someone to tell us that the wine I selected was not it stock. We were now almost at an hour after we sat down before we even placed an order. Again the restaurant was nearly empty, I took a picture. After experiencing that i can tell you we were not so enthused to eat, probably biasing our opinion on the food. This is a shame as we were really excited to eat there again. My wife did say this would be our last, her point being that we could have driven down the road to Saltgrass and had a better experience.

Rita was great, fun personality and took good care of us. Overall we liked our meal though felt the Caesar needed a bit more flavor. Our vodka rocks drinks came out with vermouth which was odd since it wasn't a “martini”. Music was loud given the sparse occupancy on a Sunday afternoon. Glad we didn't sit in the main bar area. Prices are reasonable given the venue. We'll have to try the Washington location at some point.

When going to the rodeo each yr (several times each yr), it's always been fun to also experience the different carnival food and tasty treats that abound. However, I am now on a strict diet due to my health and having this eating experience in the early afternoon on Sun was not only necessary, but inviting. Being able to do something different and unique made me feel so very satisfied satisfied so that I did not crave all of those great tasty treats that surrounded me!
