“Had a great lunch at RCG yesterday. It was a quiet Tuesday and the staff were all friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on sourdough, with fries. Sandwich was delicious -- bread was buttery and toasty, the chicken salad moist and tasty with a bit of kick, even the lettuce was crisp and fresh. And the fries! So crunchy and super hot, served with both ketchup and a house-made fry sauce that was divine. I'll be going back.“
“I usually don't go to new restaurants until after they have been open for a few months. I stopped in a whim and enjoyed lunch immensely. The chicken fried chicken was nice and juicy. I liked that the chicken wasn't pounded flat. The garlic green beans were super garlicky l, just the way I like them! Lots of butter on the green beans too. I ordered the chicken strips to go for my son. He said they were pretty good and the fries were excellent.“
“Anvil is, without a doubt, my favorite cocktail bar. And that's not just within Houston. The consistent quality of their cocktails is simply unrivaled. They have a rotating selection of featured cocktails, but half the time I order from their list of 100 classics because they craft them to near-perfection (sometimes perfection, if I'm being honest). Yesterday, I tried a new one containing shōchū, reposado tequila, and black sesame... my adjectives wouldn't do justice to the simple elegance and brilliance of that cocktail. They don't offer happy hour nor outdoor seating. There are probably ~15-20 seats at the bar and then 8-12 booths along the windows, each of which fits 4-5 people. The bartenders are always amazing, their knowledge of the craft is impressive. At the end of the day, Anvil isn't trying to rope you in with trendy fads nor great deals. But I suspect you'll be back for a return visit, because they're serving the highest-quality cocktails in town“

“What can I say.. there are no words to describe how amazing the food is here. I personally love the Cep Jen but everything on the menu is so tasty and fresh. Everything is seasoned to perfection. The portion sizes are perfect. The service is exceptional. This is honestly the best African food in Houston to be honest. They’ve been consistent in service and food. Keep it up guys!!“

“Prime Grill & Bar in Houston offers a cozy atmosphere perfect for enjoying a meal. The menu features a variety of tasty options, but the hummus and mushrooms is a standout . Served with a warm and fresh baked pita bread and green olives, what can I say…delicious.I also Ordered the Israeli salad and falafel with a side of tahini. They are another excellent choice. The flavors are authentic and leave you wanting more.To top it off, the service is friendly and efficient, making sure your dining experience is enjoyable from start to finish. It’s a place you’ll want to return to, whether for a casual lunch or a dinner out.“
“First trip to MB. Alex our waiter was wonderful!!! We were ther for brunch!!! Started with Bruschetta and both had two different versions of eggs Benedict! And ... frozen Bellinis!!! Everything was excellent from beginning to end!!! We will return!“
“First time dining here! Absolutely beautiful. Cozy environment, perfect setting for a date night or gathering with family. The owner Piero greeted me at the door with a welcoming smile. I sat at the chef bar admiring his work and delicious food coming out! Staff was all very pleasant, the manager Boris was attentive and friendly. Overall experience was excellent.Let’s discuss food! I had a lovely pasta with white wine sauce and muscles. Topped with Fresh parsley. Soooo delicious! Very light for a pasta exactly what I wanted. Piero was kind to pair the dish with white wine.I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a beautiful atmosphere music and delicious food!“
“My first time here, not only were we sat at a great section (seating is everything to me/it’s a vibe) but I had Keanon which made the entire experience freaking PHENOMENAL!!!!! I’m so picky with cocktails so I always order a dirty martini to be safe (trust me, restaurants do mess that up) but the cocktails were so good, well shaken. Keanon was so intuitive and checked in periodically without being overbearing where we felt like it’s a low key hint that I leave. Love Keanon and will request/visit soon!!Food isn’t great but atmosphere and service is everything. That’s my struggle when choosing a date -night restaurant. Atmosphere was great, drinks were awesome, food is mediocreService and atmosphere here is 10. Food…go to your nearest fav spot after leaving this place.“
“Cozy coffee shop with a delightful staff that was warm, welcoming, and engaging. They have a fantastic vibe with a variety of different drink choices, from your classic espresso drinks to a host of international choices, from café de olla cold brew, to taro cold brew (pictured here), to an upcoming summer ube latte. They also have cocktails and other non-coffee alcoholic options like beer, cider, and wine available that I’ll return to try.They have plenty of bar seating around the espresso bar as well as against the windows, as well as a couple of couches.I immediately wanted to come back.Parking: Probably a dozen parking spots“
“I've been wanting to come here for a while. So glad I finally decided to stop by. First, service is great. All the staff was very attentive and our food came out quickly and hot. We had the wings, spicy goat pizza, pork belly, fish and chips, and burger. Everything was delicious and the portions are very generous. The fish and chips are made with flounder and the batter was nice and crispy, not greasy at all. The wings were top notch. Very juicy and very well seasoned. These are sold be the pound and the pound is about 6 wings. The burger was very juicy and the fries were nice and crispy. The star of the show was the pizza. Goat cheese and the habanero glaze go together so well. The dough is top notch. Sourdough that is left to set for 72 hours. Dry and crunchy! The pork belly is very well done as well. Not too rich, nice and balanced. For dessert we had the bread pudding with ice cream. Very good as well. Lots of creative drinks as well. We were all left thoroughly impressed and can't wait to come back. Also, parking is available right across the street.Parking: Across the street“
“Had another great visit and experience! Ruby was a fantastic tour guide of the menu for us. We decided on a couple of pizza pies for a late afternoon nosh. Perfection!Great brunch! Use free valet, Jacob had great suggestions too. Thanks! The steak sandwich on ciabatta was amazing. So was the nutritious bowl.“
“This is a hidden gem. The table touches made by Tommy the owner is unmatched. He definitely makes everyone in the building feel like family. He is beyond measure. Make sure you order a signature drink. Ambience is top notch. Drinks are fantastic. Don’t miss out on this “
“I had an amazing experience at Zanti! It was my first time dining here with my family, and we were impressed by the delicious food and excellent service. Our waiter, Oliver, went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. The food was authentic and flavorful, and the ambiance was lovely. I highly recommend Zanti Cucina Italiana for anyone looking for a delightful Italian dining experience!“
“The food at Balboa is excellent. I highly recommend the seafood cocktail as a starter. We later enjoyed multiple sushi rolls and a pineapple upside down cake as dessert. Everything was fantastic and we enjoyed the ambience as well. I would absolutely come back here.“
“Best daiquiris. I’ve had. They better than Bourbon St. Daiquiris, Daiquiris to Geaux. Candy Shack. Eskimo Hut and Fat Tuesdays. They add shots that get you right.. I love the Drunk in Luv and Savage flavor. Although I do need to try other flavors.. but these flavors are my obsession right now .. DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE YOUR GONNA LOVE THESE DAIQUIRIS AT K BLENDS.“
“It’s rare that service at a restaurant truly elevates my experience, but that happened tonight thanks to Justice! She was quick, attentive, kind, funny, and made great recommendations! I never think to request a server, but I will definitely be asking for her again.“
“Visiting from out of town and wasn’t sure what to expect but wow was I surprised!I stopped in and ordered the cookie stuffed croissant as a breakfast treat (to go) and this was one of the most decadent and delicious pastries I’ve ever eaten!!Due to how good the croissant was, I returned for dinner and our server was great with recommending a drink (Hanoi Hi Five) which was an explosive of flavors in every sip.As for the food: I had the burger with seasoned fries that I could not stop eating - sooo good! My dinner companion had the fried rice and really enjoyed it noting it was as spicier than expected but in a good way.The highlight (no pun intended) was the service. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Can’t wait to return.“
“This is a restaurant in regular rotation in my dining life. The food is excellent. Service is efficient and unintrusive. The prices at lunch, are bundled for combos and more than fair. And I have noticed that for evening dining experiences, when the lunch specials are no longer available, there is an upgraded look and feel to all aspects of the food, atmosphere and service which feels like a better justification than just the “time of day” basis for the higher dinner prices.“
“What can I say? Every time I visit, Bari it’s an amazing experience. The service is second to none, the food is perfectly tied and perfectly cooked. The salmon and the pizza are to die for. I’m looking forward to going back again soon.“
“Really delicious Pizza! The ambience is pretty casual but food was top notch. We had garlic bread and Chicago sausage as appetizers the carne trio pizza was probably the tastiest pizza I have had in years. The crust was perfect. Had a nice glass of Chianti too.“
“Y’all this food IS SO GOOD! Might be the BEST place to eat in Houston. I don’t want to post a review because it’s not widely known and it’s kind of difficult to find, but man I can’t keep a secret this good. Mac & cheese is my favorite food and I always get it at every restaurant I go to, I ordered the chicken sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes and a side of mac & cheese just to try it, and I was blown away by how incredible everything tasted. I don’t like to waste money so I do not mind spending money on a place that deserves it! If you want something really good to eat, and you have a lunch break, this is one of the best places to go! Service can be slow sometimes, that’s why I docked a star but I really don’t care, I waited for 10 mins bc that’s how good the food is lol“
“Today I came with my family to the restaurant for the first time and the food was delicious but the best of all was the service that Dina gave us. She recommended what to order and everything was delicious. Dina, thank you very much for your excellent service. I recommend it to everyone.“
“Looking for a good place to work or to meet other professionals? Then I’ll recommend going here. Staff is great, people are very respectful and there’s always space. They only thing is it’s hard to find charging outlets, so come with your laptop fully charged, just in case.“
“Always heard of this restaurant but never been. I've been to Thailand and I'm not sure they serve 100% authentic dishes here.I wanted something light and on the healthier side. Ordered the crispy duck salad and it was pretty good. Rating: 4.5/5My friend liked the entree and dessert she ordered.Service was very good. Our waiter checked on us multiple times. She was polite, warm, and professional.The atmosphere is nice. Uniquely decorated with a upscale vibe. There's also a bar with seating and outdoor seating.I'll have to come back and try more dishes.Parking: You might have difficulty finding free parking on a Saturday afternoon where there are no signs. But there's valet parking for $8“
“I like this place especially for happy hour but has anyone else had the experience where the prices change later on? I bought a $5 drink during happy hour and tipped 20% but then I was charged $15 on my credit card statement. Not sure what that was about and could t get ahold of anyone to ask about it“
“Before I start when you go there you got to get bree to be your server me and my wife had a blast because of her know let's get to the bad the price of the food is worth it the quantity of food that you get is a joke I walked up out of there hungry the drink is all so so grate but I will be Back and I'm gone need a little more food for these prices.“
“El Marisquero is finally open and it did not disappoint, my favorite dish is their 10oz ribeye with its flavorful mushroom sauce. Their octopus and shrimp tostada is delicious, the seafood is very fresh and their chipotle mayo sauce ties it all together. Ask for their green salsa!! Last but not least their drinks: I had a watermelon drink I believe it's called the pink lady? Not sure but it's watermelon & it's delicious, their michelada are also very good as well as their margaritas. They also have daily week day specials!“
“So we went to the Toasted Coconut last week for a late lunch and it was fantastic. For starters, we had the fried dumplings in chili oil, which are my favorites, and they were simply sublime. For main dishes, we had the cheeseburger, the Og fried chicken nuggets, and their Baja mussels with a side of French fries. The hamburger was spectacular ultra juicy and gooey, with just the right amount of aioli to bring it all together. While the mussels were suculent and perfectly cooked and served in their thick creamy broth, which is fantastic for mopping with their homemade focaccia bread or with any leftover fries or naan bread. In my opinion, these are some of the best mussels in Houston and well worth a trip to the restaurant just to try them out.But the pièce de résistance today was the OG style chicken nuggets. They were simply to die for! They were super crunchy yet ultra juicy while the chili sauce was hot and tangy but not overly, so bringing it all together perfectly into small bites of heavenly goodness. As for drinks, we had gin and tonics and cokes, which were just the right combination for our feast. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anybody looking for great food and good ambiance for either dinner or late lunch. All their food is fantastic and their staff is magnificent.“
“In Houston visiting Blanco Tacos and Tequila for the first time, had the best culinary and Customer Experience I ever had. Stars were aligned, weather, server and general manager were the best. After traveling the world and many experiences this one was the best. The hostesses were super. Server Antonio was amazing and Manager Jake was great as well. Will definitely visit again soon.“
“This place is owned by the same person that owns JLB Cafe just up the street. Same yummy hamburger buns made in house. Burger was good, fries were amazing. They don't have brewed ice tea which is a bummer. Didn't try the margaritas but they looked good. Prices are a little lower than JLB. They had heavy metal on the TV at a rather annoying volume which made it hard to have a conversation with my friend. Staff was very pleasant. Definitely worth checking out. Parking was easy and plentiful.“
“came here on a thursday at 7pm expecting live jazz but there was none! no one in the restaurant except for us & one (super helpful) worker!a cute, unassuming spot — it has a lot of potential! drinks & food were decent too. food menu is slightly limited, and there is a rooftop to sit at as well“
“I’ve been to Moxies three times and it’s consistently amazing. The atmosphere is fun, upbeat, cool but not pretentious, and the food and drinks have been terrific each time. It’s the perfect pace to pop in for a drink with friends or even for a longer dinner upstairs. I’ve done both and had a great time!“
“I love this place! Wally and the crew are always welcoming. John knows my drink when he sees me. The food is spot on with the truffle fries being my favorite followed closely by my newest try the bacon wrapped asparagus with bang bang sauce.Parking: Plenty of parking all around“
“Great service, great atmosphere & great food!! I would have given it five stars for the food however I had the garlic ribeye in which the garlic noodle aspect was freaking amazing but the ribeye was chewy as hell. There were a few tender pieces (like 2) but mostly the pieces of meat had a lot of cartilage in it making it chewy and then id have to spit out the web like cartilage excess. I just got through with a sand volleyball tournament at the Decoy so I was so damn hungry I didn't really care too much and wasn't going to take the time to complain and wait for my food to be prepared again. The friends I brought with me all loved their food and we all had a fantastic time!I hope the owner/manager sees this review and improves the quality of the meat that they choose especially in this case. Where ever they are sourcing their ribeye, based on my experience, was low quality. Now keep in mind this might not be the norm however I would be reluctant to recommend the ribeye garlic noodle and instead would suggest others to try the other options of meat because the garlic noodle aspect was absolute bomb!!! Blessings ✨️“
“Great place to relax, have a few drinks and meet interesting people.The shows are phenomenal and the piano nights are great.The bartenders are always friendly. It’s a nice place where there’s no pretentiousness or posing, everybody goes there to have a good time.“
“Baigan bharta, jackfruit biryani, pani puri, mango lassi were absolutely excellent. Rajma kofta, dal makhni were good. Chena dahi vada chaat was good but don't let them mash it for you. They make a khichdi out of it, destroying all the flavor. Mishti doi and mango dolly were good. Nibu naan, lychee ceviche were different and there were two camps - some loved them and some hated them. But Nibu naan needs to be enjoyed with something mild like Dal makhni. The interior was gorgeous! I would have loved the restaurant just for the interior. Good service, but expensive. Overall, I would definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“I came here because the Turkey Leg Hut food truck is here. The DJ is jamming and I'm having the best lemon drop drink made by Anna the bartender. The inside is beautiful with lots of tvs to watch your favorite sport. Thanks Anna for the great customer service. This will be my new spot.“
“I got my daughter’s bridal shower catering here and after trying to get customer service in many disappointing restaurants, they approached me with great customer service and delicious food it came with neat and organized packaging. I received many compliments on the food from the “
“My husband and I went here for our pre anniversary dinner celebration and we were blown away with the service and food! It gives such a quaint, charming feel- with the staff all giving 100% and being so attentive. Food and drinks were outstanding with very reasonable pricing. Had apps (wish I remembered the name of each dish), an entree each and several cocktails and were no disappointed! What a beautiful experience.“
“My favorite little neighborhood bar in the area! Kasey has been an outstanding addition to the staff and I always enjoy walking in and being greeted by him. It can get busy in there so be sure to get a good spot to sit. Great tacos at the taco truck across the street as well!“
“Visiting Houston and looking for somewhere quiet to talk "shop" and have an "Old Fashion" while I network and I stumbled upon this location.The environment and service was outstanding. This place gave me KY and MD speak easy vibes which was unexpected in Houston.The mixologist did a great job with my drinks and this location also had an onsite restaurant that I visited afterwards. I've since scheduled a few business meetings at this location in the upcoming months and look forward to visiting here shortly.“
“For those of you who enjoy dancing until the sun comes up. This is the place for you and your friends to experience after the last call has been made at 1:30a.m. Great music, and friendly service. Please know that if you require to sit or have seating as an option, you'll have to pay to sit. Meaning, you'll need to buy a bottle. Depending upon which area you and your friends would like to sit, will determine the price point of the bottle/bottles needed to be purchased for that area.Happy Dancing until the sun comes up...“
“Absolutely great seafood. I had the #9 , a fish fillet simmered In Mexican spices, bell peppers and onions. The large guacamole salad was just as good as the meal. Do not put salt on it before you taste it. I did and shouldn't have. The food came out fast and the waitress kept asking if I needed anything. The ambiance is the same as McDonald's. Go for the food and consider getting it to go.“
“I had chicken and steak fajitas for 2, and they were delicious. The meat was tender and juicy, and the portions were big. I've never has fajitas with big slices of meat as these. I also had a marg and it was good. We seated ourselves, ordered and received our food within 20mins.I'll definitely be back!“
“I found my new lil duck off spot!!! My bestie and I arrived at 3pm (that's when they open). We were greeted by two nice gentlemen behind the bar. We were allowed to sit wherever because we were the first to arrive. The venue is very cozy but chic. There is plenty of seating indoors and on the outside terrace area. The service was fast, and our waiter Christopher was amazing. Though Christopher was our waiter, there were at least 2 other gentlemen who stopped by to check on us. They really know how to make a girl feel special. It was a very welcomed change of scenery for us. It wasn't overcrowded, and it appeared to be a nice spot for professionals who want to wine down after work in a relaxed setting. The cherry on top of this amazing experience was the tab. I purchased a bottle of wine, 12 wings, crab mac n cheese,some amazing brussel sprouts, and molten lava cake for a bill ($100). I'm sold, I'm a fan and a patron. I love it here, don't change a thing. I will see you soon upstairs!!!“
“My wife and I had an exceptional dining experience at MAD. Cameron was an amazing server with an engaging and relaxed personality combined with very competent execution. The food was also exquisite. We started with the croquettes and scallops and had the surf and turf paella. We enjoyed some of the best bites of food in a long time. Highly recommend MAD and Cameron.We’ll be back!“
“Fabulous restaurant. They take reservations but save table for walkins which is greatly appreciated. Great service throughout. Food is excellent, especially pasta dishes. The grilled bread is delicious. Prices are a bit high but so is quality.“
“Good experience. This establishment is a very relaxed chilled location. There was music playing over the speakers, from different eras and also sports on the wall-mounted tvs on either side of the restaurant. The Wait staff moved fast to take orders and bring your food to the table. Food was fresh and very tasty. Looking forward to the next visit. Highly recommended.“
“Hidden gem! I googled "Daiquiris near me" & find this place. Love the variation of flavors that they have available. The lady behind the counter was super nice. She will let you sample too! Pink Passion was the bomb! Will be back for happy hour!!“
