Exit 73 Bar & Grill

Nice spot to hang out and pass time. The bartenders are always quick and display great customer service. Definitely not somewhere you want to be if you don’t like smoke or the smell. I would give more stars if there was food, hence «bar AND GRILL»… The taco lady outside has some yummy food!

Went to Exit 73 to watch some midget wrestling. Yes, that’s right — midget wrestling. The inside of the bar is a smoker’s paradise. If you’re like me, you’d wish that you carried some Febreeze to douse yourself with before you get back in your car.
The drink prices were average and the bartenders were quick when you needed them.
The special event I went to – was cool, but there was no enforcement. Folks who had the wrong wristbands were sitting with those that bought the higher price ticket packages. The kindof urked me a little since the tickets weren’t cheap.
Might come back to check the place out again. Absent any special events, there isn’t anything that is drawing me back though…

Great mix of people, you never know what you’re going to get but it’s usually fun. Service could be a tad better.

My husband and I love dive bars and accidentally found exit 73, We live close to this location and sometimes stop by Ranch Hill Saloon that is in the same parking lot because they have great staff and the coldest draft in town… When we were walking out we noticed for the first time Exit 73 bar. We walked in and fell in love… Superb staff and great drink specials. I also love the crowd… It’s so eclectic… A mix of old and young… singles, couples… redneck, rock, punk, rap type people, rich and working class… Everyone fits in. The manager is doing something called day party… two nights a week (check their facebook page for details) starting around 3 or 4pm he serves free burgers one night and free pizza the other… they have good drink specials and a cool dj to spin for you… All ties up around 9pm. Which works great for us because we like to be home in bed by 10pm… It’s hell getting old. lol Hope this helps…

small local Bar & Grill right off of I45 North exit 73, the location may be small, yet the beer is cold and the staff is friendly.

Not a bad bar, if you don’t mind smelling like a pack of cigarettes after you leave. The food was meh.

Nice little dive bar. Definitely worth checking out the all-​you-​can-​eat crawfish when they are in season. No Coors Light on tap :(. Oh well. If you are looking for a nice divebar in the Rayford Sawdust area, stop in at Exit 73.

I watch the burger wars in Houston with a bit of a smile, as half the places that seem to be in the top ten cannot produce anything I could be even close to proud of serving myself.
In a desperate attempt to keep my Steelers fan quiet, we made the drive up to Marty’s new place and found ourselves deep down in a surprisingly good bloody Mary a bit early in the afternoon and decided on burgers for half-​time.
Here is a quick list of the good things to say about the burger:
Great floury bun that held wet ingredients without collapsing.
Burger meat tasty and cooked perfectly to order, one medium and one medium rare.
Juicy
Green leaf lettuce
Ripe and flavorful tomato
Not too much mayo
Nicely melted cheese
Good tasting bacon
Nice amount of mushrooms on my Swiss mushroom version
Last but not least, probably the best fries I have had in a long while in Houston and some pretty fair onion rings as well.
I don’t eat this kind of food often, and this was a great deal for $ 8 per, and puts a lot of $ 12 burgers around this town to shame.
The lost star is the lack of a couple of really good local craft beers to wash it all down with.
Be aware, this is a smoking bar, so don’t go there and then complain.

Went by here late Sat night for some drinks with friends. Place was jam packed, almost too crowded. Parking was a pain and we ended up parking like a mile away.
Didnt take long to figure out why it was so crowded once inside everyone was drinking draft beer, here it’s $ 1 a cup on sat night. Felt a bit like a college bar but not too young so that was fine. Had a good time and really enjoyed our bartender that night Grace, she was awesome. We got a couple rounds of shots and she even bought us a round. I love a bar with a top bartender.
Didnt eat there so no idea on the food.
I’m sure I will be back as i had a good time.

A friend of mine was headlining a comedy show at Exit 73 one Wednesday night so my wife and I came out to support him. We typically dine at home or restaurants but we were both starving. She ordered the Cajun burger and I had a dozen wings. The wings were fine but the burger may have been the biggest I’ve seen in a long time. Unfortunately, there was nothing cajun about it. Its size was only outdone by its blandness.
The Wednesday night comedy show is going to be a recurring event. If you like laughing at just the thought of a comedy show, and don’t mind the $ 5 cover, then go and have fun. Just make sure you eat first.
