Restaurants in The Woodlands

“Wonderful experience ! Mohammed was super friendly and attentive!”

“Monarca Mexican Cocina in Creekside Park is a must-visit for Mexican cuisine enthusiasts and steak lovers alike. Their filet mignon is a highlight—perfectly tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It’s a top-tier choice that’s elevated by the restaurant's authentic Mexican sides and sauces. Pairing it with one of their frozen margaritas, which strike a perfect balance between tangy and refreshing, takes the experience to another level.

One of the best-kept secrets here is their speakeasy bar, Gus. Tucked away from the main dining area, Gus offers a cozy, exclusive vibe with craft cocktails that blend classic Mexican flavors with creative twists. It’s the perfect spot to unwind or start an evening with friends.

With warm, attentive service and a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, Monarca Mexican Cocina is an ideal choice for a special night out or a casual meal with family and friends. It’s a true gem in Creekside Park!”

“Great food and Margaritas!!!”

“Every aspect, from the food to service, was 100% perfection this evening. Thank you for an unforgettable dining experience for my husband and I's Anniversary!”

“Outstanding! First time, won’t be the last. Gray was our server and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. Already looking at the menu to see what we’ll get next visit. My husband had the salmon avocado toast sandwich and I had the club sandwich. Btw… nice twist with the bacon jam.”

“Un servicio excelente !!!! Muy rica comida . Un lugar muy acogedor !!! Me encanta”

“The GF cauliflower crust is so yummy!”

“i love this place !!! Kari is my favorite server ! The atmosphere is always fun! The food is amaZing!!”

“The fish dish is the best both the presentation and the flavor. The drunken used different type of noodles compared to other Thai restaurants I had this dish before. The flavor is good though. The pork basil is kind of plain and watery. The service is very slow. Don’t recommend if you try to finish your lunch within 1 hour.”

“We love our neighborhood Crust Pizza Co.! It’s the perfect place to sit outside and let the kids run around. The food is delicious and the staff are superb.”

“Went with a friend to try the Chicken Fried Liver and it was excellent! Our waiter Marco was wonderful and gave us a wonderful experience while dining. Try it! You'll love it if you enjoy liver.”

“This place is a must try! We went and it was our first family outing with our baby. I was a little nervous but it couldn’t have gone better. We were there celebrating my husband’s new job and the staff was extremely kind, the atmosphere is calming and serene. The food was delicious, we both tried kabobs, hummus, grape leaves and got an order kunef for dessert. We loved it so much we plan on going back this week!”

“TLDR: PLEASE PLEASE make the P.R.E.A.M Bowl a regular item!!!

My fiancé and I love this place. The food is so good. It’s funny because I ate here sometime last year (2023) and was not so impressed with the skewers. On a whim, i decided to give them a second chance and OH MY GOD my fiancé and I now eat here 3-4x a day (we live in the apartment right across the street).

The P.R.E.A.M bowl is by far my favorite dish. We are so sad it’s only available Saturday and Sunday!! If that was available all week I’d get that every single day. It’s super healthy, and super good. (If you want it to be reeeally healthy you need to put the sauce on the side and go easy on it because it’s crack).

We have been eating their mixed green salad and chicken skewers for months now and we have gotten in such great shape as a result! It’s healthy AND delicious (do no cheese and dressing on the side so you can reduce calories). You really can’t go wrong.

Also, the staff is so so incredibly kind. You can tell that they have great company culture here and I would guess that management is good to their staff by how everyone treats the customers.

Managers - you should be so proud of your staff. You have fostered an awesome work environment for them.

Staff - you guys are going to go so far in life! You’re just incredible people. It’s rare so find so many amazing individuals in one place.

Thank you Postinos crew for creating such an awesome restaurant with great food, great atmosphere and incredible customer service. Your team is so amazing!!

PS: make the PREAM bowl available all week!!!! Pretty please ???

Dietary restrictions: Really great for people striving to eat healthier”

“Just wanted to give this small business a shout out- it’s like a hidden secret here in the woodlands. The coffee is one million times better than Sbucks. And the food is wow! They are building a huge library next door and we can’t wait for it to open!”

“Our server is always quick and friendly. He knows our orders and is great at expediting when needed. When my co workers and I go in we know it's going to be a treat!”

“Highly recommended! The food is amazing, the costumer service is spectacular, and the place is beautiful and unique! My favorites are too many! Start with roti (to die for). Then hainanese chicken, mango chicken, and Malaysian fried rice are my favorites! Please bring some desserts!!!!”

“It was my first time coming here for lunch for my birthday and it was amazing. I ordered the stone crab claws that are in season, $9.50 for medium claws and $36 ish for the jumbo (per claw). I ordered 3 medium stone crab claws, they had differing textures which I thought was weird, but it was good overall, more meat than I thought. The Parmesan bread and lump crab cake were phenomenal. They only give one crab cake on a puddle of sauce (not pictured) but the one cake was out of this world delicious. The baked Alaska was so good, we got it for my birthday too. The sauté was amazing and the shrimp and scallop were perfectly cooked. We paid $232 for 3 people so it wasn’t bad. Our waitress was super sweet and knowledgeable. Not sure her name but she wore glasses and a messy bun.”

“It was amazing. The chef makes all food from scratch. Very good.”

“Came here to celebrate our 14 year anniversary! Delicious everything! From shirley temple for me and wine for my hubby, amazing salad, delectable spaghetti dish/ pork chop dish, and dreamy tiramisu/ chocolate mousse cake. Will absolutely come back and refer friends! Thank you for an amazing experience!”

“I love the experience that I had when I went! Andre was an amazing bartender and was very helpful with suggestions and just friendly overall! I will be going back soon !”

“The food was delicious, service was Superior and the astompher was Fabulous!!!!”

“Food was delicious and fast and the cocktails are amazing 😻”

“I atrended a rehearsal dinner there. The wait staff was conscientious without interrupting conversations. The food was wonderful, especially the fish dishes. They have unusual fish offerings, such as Chilean sea bass with artichoke, mushroom, and scallop lemon sauce served with brown butter rice or Australian Barramundi (tastes like if trout and halibut had a baby- firm and crispy but buttery light taste) with risotto. Generous portions. I am from Louisiana, and they did Cajun cuisine proud. I live an hour and a half away, but I would drive that far to go there again. It is pricey but worth it.”

“I love the Cajun Ribeye and the atmosphere!”

“My suegro is from Guadalajara, Jalisco so we thought we’d try this place and we were not disappointed at all. We tried cocktails, the trompito al pastor, the torta, the sopes, and the guava cheesecake and all of it was delicious. We went during lunch time and the service was great with very little wait time for our orders to come out. And the suggestions our server made were on point. Even later that evening when we reheated our leftovers they packed up for us, the al pastor was still so tender and flavorful. I experienced a medical emergency towards the end of our visit and we had to leave abruptly, but I’m already looking forward to returning. I only got two sips into my cafe de olla before we had to leave, but I’m still day dreaming about it! Highly recommend ending the meal with some cafe.”

“Great seasonal cocktails and consistently good menus for brunch, lunch and dinner. We’ve always had excellent service too.”

“Fantastic service, diligent servers who take care of their customers in a timely matter. Amazing, clean, and friendly atmosphere: with delicious food that cannot be beat anywhere else!”

“You’re not coming here for intimate experience especially on a weekend but you come for the vibe, good food and service. We came for NYE dinner and I was pleasantly surprised we were seated almost immediately! Also when they say the sides are generously portioned believe them! We ordered 3 for 2 people and it fed us that night, lunch the next day and dinner 😂”

“Lots of wine to chose from. Great staff. Good food”

“We went yesterday for my fiancé birthday dinner. It was our first time being there. We have been in Houston area for almost 2 years and have been disappointed with the food scene , until last night at Perry’s!Food was excellent and our waiter was funny , attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu.We had an amazing time! They did have a 50 top and a packed house! So we were there from 7 to 10! So be expected to be there for your evening! We will be back ! Thank you!”

“Just visited here for the first time. The customer service was outstanding and the coffee was amazing. They have a ton of flavor options and really make sure it’s just how you’d like it. This will definitely be our new go to place!”

“Good vibes., excellent service, ! I'm really happy to have discovered this hidden gem. I will definitely be returning, and it's also a perfect spot for getting work done or casual meet.”

“Excellent food! Worth a visit if it’s been some time since you visited.”

“I enjoyed the meal and options”

“We came in from Corpus christi for a concert and stopped here for dinner before the show. The food was amazing. We shared a cali burrito and I give it a 10. We also ordered the rolled tacos which was good but at the end it was too much food for us. But I highly recommend this place. Service was amazing and super friendly. Can't wait to see them again in a month for the next concert here at the woodlands.”

“Beyond the modern aesthetics of The Kitchen, I was blown away by the food and amazing service! Kurt especially made us feel very welcomed as it was our first time dining there. He showed us how to order and even checked in on us a few times. I ordered the ham and cheese omelette with a side of French toast! I’m already planning on going again tomorrow for breakfast again!”

“It was our first time visiting today and it was DELISH!!! We had fun meeting the staff and chatting with them! Our bowls were AMAZING!! Caleb & Ola were super friendly!! We highly recommend the paddle bowl!! It was hands-down the kid’s favorite!! Go check them out!!”

“Went for brunch yesterday with friends and the customer service was top notch!!! Genuinely kind staff who went above and beyond for us. My youngest has FA and they greeted us upon entry and let me know how to discuss the allergens with the staff. We got the counter to order and I kept it simple with just bacon and fruit for my ANA kid to make it easier on everyone but the staff member made sure to let the kitchen know about cross contamination. When we looked at desserts the staff was highly knowledgeable about what desserts had allergens and which had cross. Their knowledge of ingredients and honesty over a sale was phenomenal. On top of that, there was a young gentlemen (whose name I can’t remember) but he ensured our food was perfect and that we enjoyed our meal. Just kind people all around. It was such a nice and relaxing time out that we usually don’t get with FA. Thank you so much for this. Will be back.”

“Muy delicioso para este rico clima el caldo de Res lo comiendo los street tacos del pastor muy ricos Gracias Santiago por el trato y las recomendaciones que nos dio me encanto definitivamente regresar a seguir probando más… I-45 los veo pronto 🤭☺️”

“My husband and I have been searching for a place with great birria tacos. After trying a couple places we were disappointed. We finally decided to try this little gem on my husband's lunch break. So glad we decided to try it. Will definitely be returning!”

“We love going here as a family. The staff is always super patient while our crew decides on a yummy flavor, there’s so many yummy ones to pick from.”

“Of all the sushi places we have been to in North Houston, Fukuda is by far our favorite! The Ghost Rider roll is our go-to roll.”

“Really great food, really nice people.”

“Had an awesome bacon burger! I think the sweet wheat bun was brushed with garlic butter?! Delicious!”

“Delicious, healthy food. My fav is the Forbidden Rice bowl. 😋”

“The staff is very nice. The pumpkin cheesecake! Omg! Good”

“Tried this place for the first time and will definitely be back again! Great food, great service and reasonable prices!”

“Great food and for the price! We had the tenders, hot wings and shawarma! The sauces and sides made it most enjoyable. We had fries, Gardena and Cole slaw! Great combinations made it the best experience!! If you haven't tried it you are missing out!”

“food was incredible, staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was top notch!”

“First time being there and I couldn’t be more happy! Started off with Dakota giving me great service! They were very helpful! Food was great and I can’t wait to come back next time.”

“Black rock shops are pretty consistent. The people are nice, the atmosphere is cozy, and the coffee is very good.

Glad they brew decaf. And love that there is a blended option for the really hot days.

I hope they keep it up.

Parking: Plenty of parking”

“Great Food And Drinks!!!!”

“Never missing out a meal here, my mom knows me as a foodie and always take me here”

“Stopped in for a Vienna Beef chili dog, however I decided to go with the Ultimate Egg burger, it happens 😂. Burger was cooked perfect and Mgr Jeannie brought me over a sampling of homemade chips with sauces. Their onion rings and fries are top notched. Everything done in house. They bring your food and clear the table. Recommend a visit. All the employees were really nice and friendly.”

“Customer service and perfect green tea frappicino”

“So serene. It was nestled in the woods. The food and service was outstanding. We will be back.

Parking: No problem finding a spot.

Kid-friendliness: Kids seem to be welcomed. There were a bunch when we were there.”

“Good service from Cathy. The food was decent as well and they were kind enough to split the entree in the kitchen. The short rib and brussel sprouts were really good. The side of Mac and cheese was amazing but would skip the kung Pao shrimp and calamari next time as didn't really have much flavor.”

“Miranda was my server and she did an amazing job taking care of our group. Friendly smile, great attitude. We had a great time. We will definitely come back and see her!”

“Small but very well laid out.
Used to qantas lounge which is big and spacious compared to AA lounges.

“Ok so I stop by to have lunch and it was very good and over all portions were just right and flavor is on par with traditional Chinese food.
1 Hot & Sour soup was good and tasty, flavor was just right and no sugar added, that’s how Hot & Sour soup should be.
2 the spring roll that comes with lunch is very good and handmade not like your package spring roll, definitely good and crispy! With homemade mustard and their chili it’s just another level
3 I had the Hunan Chicken and flavor definitely is excellent and the Vegetable is fresh and well blend with the taste.
Over all definitely would be back and around this area, well if you tried you would come back again.”

“Best chicken teriyaki! Good portion at a good price. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the veggies were delicious. If you love sashimi I recommend the beef sashimi. Our waitress was very nice. Good food and good service. I will definitely be back.

Kid-friendliness: Kid menu available”

“I come here every week with my boyfriend and out of all the waitresses Maggie is hands down and by far the best. She’s very sweet, attentive, friendly, and overall I don’t feel judged compared to some others that have served us. It’s always delightful when we have her as our waitress. Highly recommend the snooze classic and the Juan breakfast tacos we get this everytime!!”

“The burger in a bowel. A no carb option on the menu will draw us back frequently. The atmosphere is a plus.”

“Excellent food! Even kid approved 👍🏼”

“i love this place !!! Kari is my favorite server ! The atmosphere is always fun! The food is amaZing!!”

“Great food and chef! My first time . Sara , the manager is professional and kind.”

“I realize wanting to know drink prices in an upscale restaurant is not a concern of most customers. However I would have liked that option. Had I known that a house chardenay was the same price as a martini I would chosen different beverage!! Menu did not give drink prices. Nor did waiter know martini price when asked!! Please consider providing a drink menu with prices. Thank you.”

“First time being there and I couldn’t be more happy! Started off with Dakota giving me great service! They were very helpful! Food was great and I can’t wait to come back next time.”

“I had the best experience this weekend at Landry’s. After eating my dinner, which was great. I was watching the Ironman near the path. My waitress, Myah, (sorry if I butchered that) continued to bring my drinks as I cheered on competitors. She and the other server went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of. This was 10 out of 10 service.”

“great food, good atmosphere”

“Angela is a very good waitress. The food was amazing. Please ask for Angela, you will have a great experience.

“Mother’s Day brunch would only have been better if my daughter was able to join me. My server, JAVIER, was thee BEST 🤩 He was very attentive and even though it was super busy he kept a smile on his face and even laughed and chatted with my son and I.
