The Draft 1488, Magnolia TX

I was so happy to find a place like this. Great food, fantastic service, nice people. This will be my go to place from now on. Prices are great and the happy hour makes it a steal!

Had a great time here last week. Stopped in for Sunday Funday and to watch the games. Good food, especially the fried pickles, and good environment. We’ll be back!

The is our office go to place for both lunch and after work due to how good both the service and food is. The atmosphere is chill yet lively at the same time. We love it here because they do well with groups.

The food was great. The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle. Just perfect. Try the Bahn Mi fries too. I gorged myself trying to finish them, they were so good, cheesy, and spicy!

Great lunch menu with $6 Cobb salad and Fried Chicken salad. Lunch was great, along with great service.

Update for my visits since. They boys convinced me it was worth another visit. Both visits since my orginal review have had far better service. The drink deals are good and the specials are a good deal too. I tried the double porky burger and it was great! If you like spicy boiled crawfish/shrimp the southern style shrimp has some heat to it, but I still enjoyed it. I guess my opinion has been changed and the draft is a pretty good place to drink a beer, grab a bite to eat, and watch the game. I genuinly glad they proved me wrong.

The only reason it gets 2 stars is because the beer wasn't overpriced, and of how hype everyone was when the Astros won the game. Took over 20 minutes for the only waitress working the night to get to us so we could order our drinks. After that, she was back somewhat frequently, but it was the 9th inning when we finally got out drinks, so we only ended up getting 1 round of drinks. Multiple tables were also dirty, making us actually have to search for a table to sit down. Not sure I'll be coming back.

Had a great time, my first time here. Will be back! Great place to hang out and catch up with friends. Moderate prices, great food and drinks.

Great food here, nothing fancy just comfort food along with alcohol prices that are hard to beat. The girls are attentive and friendly, never do I have to wait on a drink.

A great place to grab a bite for lunch although I've not been here in the evening, I'm sure it's just as good. They have a special midday menu w/specials on sandwiches, domestic beers and such, which are excellent. Nicole waited on me; super friendly and attentive as is all of their wait staff I've encountered. There's plenty of elbow room/seating in this establishment; not cramped at all, as well as pool tables and sports TV panels. Nice place!

I’m not 100% on what I saw tonight but I know what I heard. If this is how you allow your staff and guests to be treated, I would say it’s probably best to close your doors permanently. The man covered in tattoos was being very condescending and rude. I would like to send my condolences to your entire staff if this is the man in charge.

Chelsey has been nothing shy of exceptional. She will stop and ask everyone how their day was or how the family is. You’ll even see her outside the bar giving hugs to her people. We have all seen it. To hear what I heard coming from the man covered in tattoos who was yelling behind the bar and continued to get onto her because she didn’t “have his back” after he called the police on any other employee (reason unknown, but he did leave at the same time as the officers) was completely out of line. She repeatedly apologized to everyone up and down the bar (which unfortunately we have been seeing happen more often than not) for what is happening around them in the building. We didn’t see Chelsey after that last argument that she was clearly trying to get out of the dining room and my family is really hoping she was not terminated for standing up for herself and the other staff.

We have been regulars in this bar for 3 years running and this will be the last time you ever see myself, my wife or my kids.

I’m not sure who you have running this place, but you might want to reconsider your options or you will lose all of your business quickly.

Great service, atmosphere & prices! Non-smoking, pool tables, cold air conditioning, pet friendly, lots of TVs and a variety of sports going all at once & very clean restrooms! Also, happy hour til 7 pm!? ! Unheard of! Tell all your friends! (Or shhh! Maybe don’t…this place is a hidden gem!)

Been here three times before and never once had an issue. Chelsea, Caleb, and the rest of the team has been nothing but amazing.

The manager, Nate, began changing TV channels that my wife and I were actively watching while making statements about “you can’t watch all the TVs” and “I’m the owner, thanks” when we questioned why the channels were changing. (We were personally only watching two TVs, TAMU and Bama, but you’re in a sports bar less than an hour from Texas A&M…we were far from the only ones watching the game). I’d expect nothing less than this type of behavior from a 19 year old frat bro, but absolutely the last thing I expected from the manager of my no-longer-favorite sports bar in the area.

Thank you again to Chelsea and Caleb for taking care of us every time we come through. I’m sorry y’all have to report to such a sorry excuse for a manager.

Have never in my life been treated with more disrespect in an establishment than the way I was treated by “owner” Nate. Will never be back. Thank you to our server Chelsea and Caleb for helping us and I’m sorry that you had to clean up the mess your “owner” made. Sad to see management parading bad behavior- no wonder the place was empty.

Food was not good. Service was amazing- shout-out again Chelsea and Caleb for being amazing. “Owner” was absolutely the rudest person- I would not give him my business if it was the last restaurant on earth. Never going back!

Btw. Angry Elephant down the street is great.

Other than salty, chewy but tasty boiled shrimp, the boudin balls, onion rings, salad, and drinks were just fine. Our bar tender took good care of us. She made me a custom margarita. Great place for decent food and APPLE + TV ball games.

I was here at the draft with a group of friends for college football Saturday. We spend from 2-6pm here. Our server Chelsea was amazing.

Nate (table busser) came into work and started changing the TV’s while we were watching a couple of different games. (Did not care or ask which TV’s we were watching) We asked him what the issue was and why, he stated he was changing them for other people in the place even enough it was not very packed at all. We asked him again not to and he stated he was the “owner and could change the TV’s to whatever he wanted to”. Mind you he changed 5 TV’s to a North Carolina game. This guy has a terrible attitude and is steadily running people away from this place is what other customers were telling me. Makes since why the place was not very busy when you have this happening. If he was truly the owner he would take care of his customers and not go against.

I have been twice now and have not had a bad experience. Food has always been delicious, quick on drinks, and plenty of TVs around to catch all of the sports.

Waitresses are quick and friendly. Great selection of beer.

Some real good food had the burger with pulled pork and bacon and it was great.they have about 20 tvs playing everything you could want with plenty of great service to provide your drinks a must try if in the area
