We tried this location out the other day for some lunch and some pizza for later. We got a smashball sandwich, a philly sandwich, a carnivore pizza, a spinach pizza, a small pepperoni pizza with alfredo sauce, and a turtle cheesecake for dessert.
Overall I would say the offering is somewhat elevated bar food, and successful at that. The service was friendly and efficient, and the Woodlands location looks like a very comfortable place to take in a game. I used the outdoor seating for my lunch. They have a nice play area for kids and a fair amount of outside seating. It would be easy to kick back with a meal and follow up with some drinks.
The smashball sandwich is basically a burger made with meatloaf, topped with tomato sauce and cheese on a ciabatta bun. It was all quite successful--the patty was tasty and the bun fresh and tender. I ordered it with tater tots. They were not seasoned much, but were cooked just right and quite crisp. The philly chese steak sandwich and fries was fine, not a standout but competent.
The pizzas probably would not displace your favorite franchise--they were a bit on the high side--but they would be quite fine for eating with a game. They were somewhat greasy when fresh. I don't consider that a problem, but some might. The box absorbed a lot of the grease so when the pizza was reheated later it was not greasy. The Carnivore was a good example of a meat pizza--lots of salty meat products. The spinach and pepperoni pizzas were good as well, though the pepperoni pizza was not too generous with the pepperoni. You will probably have to order the Ninja Turtle premium pizza (pepperoni and cheese) to get a good helping.
The cheesecake was OK for a sweet finish. It is presented nicely in a dish with chocolate drizzle. But it was a bit mushy, obviously store bought. Probably save that money for another beer. They have a decent selection of beer, including craft beer (if you count Karbach).
Overall a very good experience, and would be one of the better venues around for taking in a game with your food.
