So, my beau loves watching football and we decided to invite friends to get together and watch the Texans vs. the Colts last night. As we thought about all the places we could enjoy watching the game, the beau suggested Washington Grill. We went previously and enjoyed the back patio and Thursday Trivia Night. With a huge screen to watch games and delicious foods, we new the patio would be the perfect spot.
Our friends met up with us and were pretty impressed with the set up. They never saw such a huge backyard patio, and they did enjoy the huge projector screen for Monday night football watching. Unfortunately, it was an off night because they had one bartender and one cook. So, it was almost the end of the 2nd quarter by the time we got our food. Luckily, the bucket of Shiner tided our group over. But, for a hot dog, fries, and shrimp appetizer, I considered that way too long.
Fortunately for them, the spices on the fries and tastiness of the shrimp made up for the long wait. And since our previous visit had good service and good gastropub food, we will let it slide. Eventually, a waitress did come around and help us that evening. I just attribute it to being an off day at an establishment that is still trying to find their groove.
But, if you are looking for a fun place to enjoy high quality pub food with a nice patio area, I think this is your spot. So, the staff has some kinks to work out and their interior could use some sprucing up (my friend compared the inside of the building to a sparse country dance hall), but I'm willing to come back and see what new improvements they'll have.
