Restaurant: Baker's Street Pub

Baker's Street Pub
http://www.bakerstreetpub.com/

This is one of my favorite Katy, quick meal places. My son asks to go there ever so often during the summer and pictured below is our "usual". I know what you're asking, "Why would you take your son to a Pub?" During the day it's really just a restaurant, the “Pub" activity does not begin until around 5 PM. We slip in well before the end of the work day for a dose of ESPN and a quick bite.

The Food
It has all of the typical pub fare that you've come to expect (i.e. Bangers and mash, Shepard’s pie, fish and chips etc.) It also has a few surprises like a hummus plate, phenomenal fish tacos and my personal favorite, the crispy cod sandwich. It’s perfectly fried (yes I said fried) and served with sweet potato fries. Rhys’ favorite is the sliders which are larger than most and according to him, wonderful.  









The Atmosphere
An air of mystery abounds any first-timer—you can spend five minutes or so just looking for the restroom. No worries, becasue after the first time, "It's elementary my dear watson!". I would tell you the trick, but I know the barkeeps and patrons like to watch you search. Far be it for me to intrude on anyone’s dinner and a show. What I love most about Baker’s street is its simplicity—it’s like a blue collar worker in a sea of white collars. It does what it does well and has no aspirations of luxury. A big screen television and pool table offer the opportunity to let off a little steam while you wait for your bangers. The friendly, although usually preoccupied, wait staff can offer you suggestions if you cannot narrow down your choice.  The prices are very affordable, especially for lunch. If you haven’t experienced it already,  treat yourself and have a little pub fun.
