J W's Steakhouse - Carmine

I was really looking forward to eating here. Unfortunately, we did not get the chance. We were ignored while two other tables who sat down well after us were tended to. They ordered drinks and got their drinks, but nothing for us. I couldn't help but notice we were the only non-caucasion people so if you are a person of color, keep on moving down the road, unless you want to see that this type of mentality still exists in 2024. So sad.

Small town restaurant offers a simple cozy atmosphere, with a full bar and plenty of seating. During my visit, I only had time to try their renowned onion rings and ranch dressing, but they did not disappoint. The onion rings were perfectly crispy and golden. They're a must-have and simply delish. I look forward to returning to explore more of their menu.

Leaving Houston and heading to Austin?? Make a halfway stop for a full time steak! This place nailed it got the porterhouse and a NY strip along with the salmon it's all good at JWs. Service was fast and friendly, environment was log cabin cozy.

The good: The establishment and service were fantastic. The chicken fried steak was great, but I needed more gravy than what came with it. The chicken tenders were fat and looked delicious. The fries were good. The bad: The fish was paper thin and a complete let down. Our hamburger steak tasted great until we got to the raw center. Waitress removed it from our bill and was very professional about it. One serving of okra was dark and over fried. Overall the place is great but had some food inconsistencies.

Well another great meal at JWs in Carmine. This is where I picked for my Birthday meal, for chocolate pie and chicken fried steak. The salad here is simple but fresh and not bagged lettuce. The blue cheese dressing home made. Today the vegetable I got with then potatoes was squash casserole was super and not sure how they made it. The building is a part of the lumbar yard that was there a long time, and a few years ago when it was being constructed I remembered being surprised they were building a restaurant just off the road. Parking: Great parking
