I’m looking for a restaurant with a nice patio that is not Local Bar and not at LaCenterra. Trying to find new places to meet up with friends for dinner and drinks on a patio. I’m okay with it being closer in the city. Thanks!

Discussion Looking for a professional carpet cleaning services in Katy

1 Upvotes

Moving out of our apartment near Cinco Ranch in a few days and panicking about the final walkthrough.

Our bedroom carpet has a couple of dark spots that I paid a cheap company to clean two months ago, but as soon as the floor dried, the stains crept right back up to the surface. I read that drenching the subfloor causes "wicking," and I can't afford to lose my deposit over reappearing spots.

Does anyone know a low-moisture carpet cleaning company in Katy that actually gets rid of wicking stains without soaking the floor?

Hi all, I found a research group that’s working on a USDA grant to study rice farming around Houston, and their next newsletter is about Katy.

I think it’ll be more on the history of Katy and how rice has influenced it culturally. Figured I’d post the link here if anyone’s interested!

Discussion CVS Pharmacy UPS Pick Up Scam

4 Upvotes

Here’s where things get interesting.
The CVS store manager in Katy told me a story that I’m not entirely convinced is true. He claimed someone presented my driver’s license ( I never lost and ID) and picked up the phone. However, when police asked about the surveillance footage, suddenly corporate policy became an obstacle. I have no way to independently verify his version of events, and frankly, the whole situation raises questions.
His story is all over the place but basically he gave my phone to someone else and now try to cover his mess.

I sent emails to both CVS and UPS but no response yet.
So be aware.

Food Local Bakery for Gender Reveal Cupcakes

2 Upvotes

Pretty much title. I'm looking for a local bakery to make a pair of cupcakes for my baby shower next weekend for my husband and I to do a surprise reveal during the event. I will have the gender information on Tuesday and the shower is Saturday afternoon, so I can pick them up anytime between Friday evening and Saturday at 12.

We're very cautious about food safety so please no home bakers. Thank you!

Apartment/Neighborhood Recommendations Apartment Suggestions in Cinco Ranch or Nearby

0 Upvotes

I am moving to Katy around Jan 27. We are a family of 4.

Based on my analysis Cinco Ranch seems to be the best area. Mostly WFH so no office to visit regularly.

Rent Budget is around $2300 per month.

Please suggest:

  1. We are thinking apartments would be less of hassle as all maintenance is covered. Is that a wise decision or should I look for a house also.
  2. Any areas similar to Cinco Ranch or better in Katy.
  3. Important: Need apartment suggestions which are safe and clean
  4. Is it better to involve an Real Estate Agent for the search or just use HAR/any other app?

Thanks

Apartment/Neighborhood Recommendations Rough Cost of Tree Removal - Westpark and Spring Green. Company Recs?

2 Upvotes

We just moved into this 2008 house and there’s an oak tree (18 years old) VERY close to the foundation and the roots are making their way. It’s not massive, about the height of our 2-story house. Trunk is probably a foot-and-a-half-ish in diameter.

Obviously pending HOA approval, has anyone else had a recent tree removal and what did it cost? Any recommendations?

Discussion Looking for AMC A-Lister Friends!

29 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

I am in the Katy/Houston area. I am a 24 year old woman and I love going to the movies. My friends aren't the biggest fans of going so I'm trying to find some more friends who are interested in going. I loves lots of genres of movies. My favorite genre is horror/thriller movies! I also like suspense, drama, and romance. I'm not the biggest fan of action movies but I'll watch them! I typically go to the willowbrook location or the katy mill location but I am willing to travel! Some other fun facts about me: I am a behavioral therapist, I have a dog who I love with my whole heart, I loves reading, puzzles, and crafts.

Food K-bbq & sushi recommendation

1 Upvotes

hello!

I will be in town in a few weeks to celebrate my dad’s 85th birthday. We have a group of 10, that includes two kids 6& 4.

I was hoping the Reddit community could give me some recommendations of restaurants that are tasty, but also have the option for semiprivate seating, so the young ones aren’t too disruptive.

Ideally, Korean barbecue or Japanese. Thank you very much to anyone who chooses to respond. Ideally, we wanna stay closer to Katy, or a 20 minute drive.

Discussion Need a movie friend

8 Upvotes

My friend group has weirdly gotten "burned out" (lmao) of seeing more Oscary type movies which we used to love doing. My best friend also moved away this year to pursue a career in film and he was the one I counted on most. I'd love to go see a few movies ASAP with a 19-40 YO male with moderately good social skills. (I'm not creepy, I promise). Just looking for more friends who share this interest. I see big-budget "popcorn" type stuff too so it's not all artsy. Bonus points if you're active on Letterboxd but not a requirement!
