“We had a lovely dinner at Dario's Steakhouse. We had both seafood and steaks for our party of four. We don't care for the avocado pancake but that is personal preference. The Dario's salad was excellent as well as the steaks, my salmon and hubbies snapper.“

“We had a graduation party of 46! The general manager, Anthony, and manager, Paul, treated us with such phenomenal service! Our waitresses and waiters were so good, we tipped them 35%! The food was delicious!🤎“

“First time there and I can say, I’ll be back. The place was nice and clean and the people working there were on top of customer’s needs. I got the spicy fish tacos but was not impressed because the tortillas were not warm and came with a small piece of fish, mostly cabbage. The kids got burgers with fries and absolutely loved it. Overall, found a nice place with good quality food for kids and I to eat.“

“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning“

“Food was delicious!!! Everything tasted so good and fresh. Our first time and we will definitely go back!“

“My husband and I stopped in one Friday afternoon for the pork chop lunch, and it did not disappoint! We both had the pork chop with mashed potatoes and a side of Brussels sprouts, everything was phenomenal, as always. The wait staff was very nice too (wish I remembered our server's name to give them credit!). Definitely a place I'll be returning to soon.“

“very clean, great customer service, to top it off the burger was awesome.“

“We just had a Sunday roast dinner here and it was absolutely amazing, I highly recommend this place we tried the chicken tikka masala a couple weeks ago too which was lovely too we plan to try the Thai food next xx“

“This was my first visit to Early Riser Cafe, and I was thoroughly impressed. Our server, Liz, provided exceptional service—she was warm, attentive, and incredibly helpful. Her cheerful and engaging personality contributed greatly to the welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The music selection also added to the enjoyable ambiance. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to returning.“

“If you’re looking for a bar like cheers where everybody knows your name-this is the place for you! All the bartenders are great, but Kathy and Miranda have truly become family! They take such good care of us! Even the food is great- shoutout to Pedro!“

“Ignore the one stars have one bad experience take it out on the bar. 10/10 or 5/5 in this point. Only recommendation is crawfish is bland, but that is a personal opinion who likes to suffer in the morning with the porcelain of receiving all the gifts.“

“The owner runs the place and always treats us extremely well. If you are looking for a hopping spot this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a clean quiet place where the owner and regulars offer up good conversation then i suggest you stop by.“
