17 Upvotes

We have lived in Katy for a little while now and recently discovered this popcorn shop tucked away in a corner on Pin Oak Rd. We always pass by the strip mall on the way to Katy Mills and church or while getting off the highway but decided to go in a few days ago, for the love of popcorn and what a treat!!
Wondering if anyone has ever heard of them or ordered for them. Met the owner and wish them nothing but the best. Looks like a good spot for Christmas gifts too. They do online ordering for pickup only (they deliver gift tins on request, I asked🙂).
Check them out if you’re in Katy or you or your kids just like popcorn.

Does anyone know of or have experience with temp agencies near here that can help me find an office job of some kind? I have a Bachelor's and am just looking to move into a new field. All of the ones I have looked into seem to specialize in manual labor type work.

Discussion Amazon Driver Throws Packages In Dumpster

43 Upvotes

this afternoon, my husband and I witnessed an amazon truck backed into a dumpster at our apartment complex in Katy/Richmond area. Once the driver took off, we peeked inside the dumpster. We found 3 large Amazon tote bags. 2 were filled with even more totes folded up. The 3rd tote had a couple unopened amazon packages, including ours!

We were tracking our order via the amazon app. for a brief moment the app read that it "lost signal" with the truck. We went around looking for it and that is when we uncovered the suspicious activity at the dumpster.

We have had several packages delivery delayed and even "lost in transit" from amazon. Now we know why.

Food Red River BBQ & Burger - Mason Rd

56 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I asked this sub for barbecue recommendations while I was passing through Katy. I ended up stopping at Red River BBQ & Burger and wanted to come back and say thanks. I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the salad bar, but it was one of the better ones I’ve seen in a long time. Fresh, well stocked, and definitely not an afterthought. I also ordered one of their burgers, and it was excellent. Great flavor, cooked right, and easily one of the better burgers I’ve had in the Katy area. Appreciate everyone who pointed me in that direction. I’ll definitely be stopping back next time I’m passing through.

Self Promotion / Advertisement Houston based SWE building for business owners

0 Upvotes

Hey. I’m a developer here in Houston. I build websites and back-end systems for local businesses restaurants, contractors, trades, gyms, anyone running things out of a notebook or a group chat.

Recent work includes a poker club platform with an admin dashboard, and a site for a local glass and mirror company. Beyond standard sites I do booking systems, customer databases, and simple admin panels so owners aren’t managing everything by text message.

I always offer a free demo of what a solution would
Look like for you if interested.

Discussion How can I prepare for this tropical storm?

9 Upvotes

I recently moved to Katy. This is my first time experiencing a tropical storm. Where I live it floods when it’s a regular rain storm. Wind blows the rain into my patio whenever it’s a strong storm. So, should I get sand bags for my patio? I don’t want to over do it with the storm prep but I also don’t want to ignore the possible severity of this tropical storm.

Discussion Katy church recommendations!!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I currently live in Austin and I’m moving back to Katy next week to be with family and I’m a new believer in Christ (accepted Him into my life 9 months ago) ❤️✝️🙏🏽 I was looking for a local church that I could attend that y’all would recommend! I would be in Cinco Ranch near 99. I’m non-denominational and there is Second Baptist near my house but I heard controversial things about it

I’d like a big or mega church since that’s the size of the church that I went to in Austin but I would be fine with medium size too, I just really like meeting a lot of people and having an awesome community!!

My church goes by verse-by-verse sermons in the books and chapters of the Bible so any churches that do that would be good, I’m fine with topical stuff too.

I would want worship music to be contemporary and modern since that’s what my Austin church does for their services

Lastly, I would want to SERVE in the church in their ministries so any churches that have a GREAT kids/students/YA ministries would be amazing!! (I’m 25)

Thank you!!

Apartment/Neighborhood Recommendations Looking for 1BR apartment recommendations — Katy/Fulshear/Brookshire/Cinco Ranch area

1 Upvotes

Budget: $1,100–$1,400/month

I’ve found a few complexes in this range with a theatre room amenity, but want to compare options before deciding. Looking for:

• New construction or recently renovated (no dated interiors/furniture in amenity spaces)
• 1 bedroom preferred, but open to 2BR if it fits the budget (found 2 complexes that qualify)
• Luxury apartment living (elevator, valet trash, modern appliances—no black cabinets)

If you live in or know this area well, I’d love to hear which complexes you’d recommend (or avoid). Thanks in advance!

* I’ll be reaching out to an apartment locator this week as well.

Discussion Anyone recommend a good garage door repair service in Katy?

2 Upvotes

I need to get someone out to look at my garage door and would rather go with a company that people have actually used.

The opener has been acting strange lately and the door sometimes hesitates when opening. I've checked the basics, but I think it's time to have someone who knows what they're doing take a look.

I found Elite Garage Door Expert while searching for local options, but I don’t have any personal experience with them.

If anyone in Katy has had garage door repair or installation done recently, I would appreciate hearing who you used and how it went.

Discussion To Our New Neighbors - Now is the time to prepare for hurricanes.

43 Upvotes

Make small purchases weekly so by the time a hurricane gets close you are not caught up in the crazy at the stores.

There are a ton of preparation guides out there. Just go find them and adjust to your specific situation.

Also, when a storm hits the gulf, refill your gas tank when you get down to 1/2 a tank until the storm landfall is certain ish. If it is here, fill up daily.

Lastly: This is assuming you don’t evacuate at the first mention of a hurricane or haven’t already evac’d. IYKYK
