Perry & Sons Market & Grill Friendswood

This place is strange for dinner. The tables have nice tablecloths, but they cover them up with the same paper tablecloths as at lunch time, plus there's a big TV on the wall and a wide-open doorway to the meat market. Yet they charge the same (fairly steep) prices as the much nicer Perry's Steakhouse or Perry's Italian in Clear Lake. You would think they would close that door to the market and reveal the nice tablecloths at dinner time.

The sides are from out of the 70s--plain Jane salad and a baked potato. Who does that anymore? No imagination at all.

The ordinary steak sandwich was open faced and the steak was grilled to perfection, crusty and buttery. My mouth waters just thinking about it. I have ordered the same item several times and it is consistenly divine.

The service, waiters and atmosphere are excellent as is the Gumbo. Even though it is a neighborhood restaurant I would recommend it for fine dining or a quick on the go meal from dressy to casual.

I particularly enjoy the personalities of the wait staff who appear to truly enjoy their jobs and place of employment.

First off, I want to say that the service was good. Unfortunately, that's where the good part ended.
We dined on brown, wilted lettuce in the salad, overcooked and tough steak. But, the worst part was the pecan pie. I think it was one of those .99 frozen pies. They should be ashamed to serve that kind of pie for the prices they charged. I guess they thought it would taste and look better served on a huge plate that had been sprinkled with cocoa. It only made the slice of pecan pie look more pathetic.
The glasses were grungy looking. There was food stuck to the base of one and all of them looked greasy and unwashed.
We won't be returning to dine there ever again.
