I love PKL Social! It’s such a nice spot! The service is absolutely excellent! The manager Caleb is so polite, on top of that the food is a 10/10! One of the best spots in Houston by far and I’ve lived here my whole life! The cherry on top is the events they host! Such as bingo, watch parties and obviously the golf sims and pickleball is so much fun! I would recommend to anyone to go and check this place out you will not regret it!

Coolest Pickleball Venue in an amazing part of Houston!The staff here is incredible — positive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. It’s even pet-friendly with water bowls and Milk-Bones, which is such a thoughtful touch! Beautiful TVs everywhere for watching Sports.We’ve played pickleball in 6 countries and 11 U.S. states, and we can honestly say PKL Social is one of our absolute favorites. The venue is top-notch, and the food is next level. The smashed burgers and full FM Kitchen menu are legit — this is not your typical bar food. Drinks are on Point =)Love the Free Open Play Monday–Thursday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.Huge shoutout to Jason’s crew: Page*, Anna, Angel, Jimmie, Kurston, and the best kitchen staff — Leo, you rock!This place will not disappoint. Do yourself a favor and check it out! ❤️

Service was great. My only complaint about the fried chicken caesar salad wrap is that the breading tasted like chicken parmesean. Tater tots were awesome.

Suchhhh a fun spot to come play pickle ball with friends and enjoy a delicious meal and drinks. Make sure to reserve your court in advance because this place books fast! There’s plenty of space to lounge and outdoor tables to hang with friends if you just want chill vibes. They also have a bar area, TV’s, and other games to play. The burger, wings, and tots were so good!
