Bombshells Katy

Few things are as satisfying as a visit to a good sports bar. The atmosphere, the sports viewing, the food, and other extras make the casual vibe of a sports bar something I seek out. One military themed sports bar in the Katy area that I have visited a few times is Bombshells, a chain establishment.

Walking inside Bombshells, you are greeted by the hostess who will quickly find you a table or booth in which to sit and soak up the atmosphere. The inside of Bombshells is quite large and I like the many seating options. The outdoor patio is nice also and it comes complete with multiple televisions of its own, to keep guests’ eyes on their favorite sporting event. It can get loud inside, so the patio is a good place to go if you prefer a little less crowd noise and, of course, fresh air.

I like the food options at Bombshells. The menu has lots of choices and my family really like the shrimp and the cheese sticks, which are less gooey than others and much easier to eat. I have had good experiences with the burgers, cheesesteak, and other foods, too. So, when all things culinary are examined, Bombshells earns a thumbs up in this area.

Where Bombshells falls short is with its beer selection, liquor, and overall service. There are only two or three good beer choices at Bombshells and this really took me by surprise when I visited for the first time. I expected at least a handful of locally brewed craft beers, but no. Subsequent visits turned up the same problem. Why they don’t offer better beer, I do not know. It isn’t like the options don’t exist. The Houston area has a large selection of flavorful, homegrown brew, but Bombshells has decided to ignore this. I had a similar issue with the liquor selection. There are several specialty liquors I expected to find available, but they had none of them.

Service is another issue at Bombshells. Yeah, the waitresses are cute and I like the military outfits they wear, but they are completely lacking in basic knowledge of the beer and drinks. They need to be better trained in this area. They also need to be more attentive to the tables they serve. Too often, they will start a casual conversation with guests at one table, completely forgetting there are customers waiting for another drink at their other tables.

I love sports bars but Bombshells is a mixed bag. Again, the abundant seating, dozens of televisions, patio, and food are above average, but a good sports bar needs good beer, premium liquors, and knowledgeable staff. Until Bombshells makes these improvements, I can only rate it average overall.

Yesterday was my first time coming over here, and honestly the service was alright, the wing were bland but they were fresh from the fryer though so I give them that. The fries were good and so was the dessert, my only problem with the dessert was that it was too big, they should have had an option to get a smaller portion especially after eating do much. Overall my experience was alright, will I come back to if I'm craving wings, not really. I'll probably go if a group of friends really want to go there.

Our server Monica was very friendly and kept our drinks topped off. Not terribly expensive, you get a lot of food for what you pay, and the dj was great! People were dancing between tables, great atmosphere
