Service was absolutely the worst I have experienced in lake jackson, maybe ever. Waitress did not take our order for over 15 minutes and we had to flag down someone else (our original waitress came over to see if we had ordered 30 min after we had arrived….). They were out of chicken. They had no chips.
We ordered food and at 35 min from when we ordered, we asked when food was going to arrive and were told another 10 minutes. So we left and got the food to go.

I’m happy my curiosity was peaked, I stumbled into Nena’s Restaurant and the home of the Hippo! I met Nena’s granddaughter who told me about the restaurant and her grandmother. They’ve been in business for 45 years and the place is owned by Nena’s daughter.
I tried the Hippo…it is HUGE and so damn good. All of the flavors worked and the salsa on top had just the right heat and spice. This place serves up great food and the service is great...
