J Ryan's Bistro

Wife and I wandered in late one evening not even paying attention to the fact it was only a few minutes from closing time. As the other patrons found their way out we became the souls focus of the waitstaff. The girls were great sports as they answered all my ridiculous questions like , what kind of tequila is the shrimp marinated in.
The food was wonderful. I had the special that day which was a coffee crusted rib eye steak. The owner came out of the kitchen to thank us for coming in.
We have been back and will continue to dine here.

I highly recommend stopping by and giving them a try.

Been there three times always great food. The spicy/sweet shrimp appetiser is incredible

Food was awesome! I'll definitely go there again.

We stopped in after church today and there were zero cars in the parking lot. We saw they opened a couple days ago and thought we’d try it out. The waitress was very nice and patient with us as we looked over the menu.

The food: The pricing is a bit higher than your typical amount spent in Alvin. However, the food was a much better quality than anything else found in Alvin. I had the beef tips burgundy with garlic mashed potatoes and glazed carrots. The flavor was amazing! I wish it had more sauce than it did, but the flavors were great! My husband had the chicken fried chicken with green beans and all of his were great too. The green beans were perfectly seasoned and even our kids ate them without coaxing. The kids meals are your typical fare (hamburgers and chicken tenders), but at $7 each, we decided to have them share an adult portion of fried catfish. It was a good choice because the catfish filets were fresh and nice sized.

The way I determine whether or not I like a restaurant is whether or not it’s crave-worthy. The food here definitely was! We’ll definitely be back!
