The food and service is consitently good, one of the best burgers in town and seriously good steaks. Just one thing to management - Please start stocking some IPA’s - a burger needs an IPA - specifically Spindle Tap IPA’s.

I had never been to any of the locations and made my choice based on Open Table reviews. We had a number of special menu requests and the server was attentive and made a point to alert us to potential allegens. As a hoispitality professional responsible for events of 1000+, I have spoken internationally about special meals for health, dietary and religious reasons. Having this experience at a single outlet was impressive and speaks volumes about the quality of the food and service and the awareness of its culinary team. Bravo! Also the $25 two-course lunch is a great value for those looking for a good place to host clients. I drove in from the Hill Country but will plan to visit, again, the next time I have a chance. Easy parking and beautiful venue!

About the restaurant
Tucked between lazy farm roads and sprawling ranch land, in cozy proximity to I-10, Katy, and the Energy Corridor lies west Houston’s favorite eatery. Anthonie’s is a unique indoor/outdoor concept boasting ancient-wood planked walls, polished concrete floors, a state-of-the-art open kitchen, and a massive patio with superb sunset views. The
warm ambiance and neighborly reception are just a prelude to the restaurant’s generous, lip-smacking
meals.

-Most seating will be OUTDOORS
-Thank you for choosing Anthonie's Market Grill in Simonton, TX!
-Please keep in mind all reservations may incur up to a 30-minute wait. We will try to have you seated as soon as possible. We look forward to your visit.
