New American Restaurants near Cypress, TX

“Just want to give local table the best review. My young family of 5 had dinner here tonight and Felix, our server, was absolutely wonderful. Three toddlers got their food which came out right away, mom and dad got drinks, and we were made to feel welcome even though it was hard to keep the attention of young toddler children. Felix made it totally possible and was absolutely perfect (as best as it can be eating out with young children). We don't get out often but it's nice to get out every once in awhile. So grateful for the attentiveness and care with which we were shown.“

“Highly recommend everything I’ve tried so far from the burgers, kabobs, and sides“

“Went for my birthday! Delicious cocktails, delicious steaks-perfectly cooked and juicy. The creamed spinach was divine! And got a lovely birthday dessert. Service is impeccable! Fining dining in Cypress without having to drive into town. We will be back!“

“Alve was one of the best waiters I’ve ever had. He made some great recommendations that were absolutely decadent. Great atmosphere combined with great food and really good drinks.“

“Freaking BEST burgers!!! So good at The Barn♡“

“Chef Paul is an incredibly talented chef. Everything I have had here is delicious!“

“This menu is healthy and food allergy friendly. The inside is always clean. The staff are quick, but could be a little friendlier. They aren’t rude, just seem focused on speed of service rather than connection. The pasta has been hit or miss the last few times we’ve gone. The fish tacos and carrot cake are a hit!“

“This is one of the BEST restaurants I have eaten at. First, Cori our server is awesome! She is attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and super friendly! The food is amazing! This was my 3rd time eating at this location and I will be returning. I gotta try more dishes off the menu. Kudos to the chef! Bow Wow!!!“

“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“

“We have been here a number of times, almost every time is excellent. This time however the server was very bad, she had an unhappy attitude from the beginning, and when there was an issue with the drink there was a problem with getting it fixed. We didn't want all of the espresso grounds in the espresso martini. A couple of beans on top is no problem but there were also a bunch of grounds which made it gross to drink. They didn't want to get us a new one. When we ordered the banana flambe for dessert she didn't even let us know she was doing it on the side, very uninterested in serving our table. I've been to many very nice restaurants and if there is ever any issue there is typically a quick response to fixing it above and beyond. The food was still very delicious, I was just very disappointed in the service this time.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Great service, atmosphere, and food. Only reason I can't give it a full 5 stars is because they served the most unbearably bad iced tea I've ever had (yes, iced tea - no, I'm not sure how this ends up bad either, but I sent it back and the replacement was also bad).“

“We were looking for a different place for breakfast and came across to this one one Google Map. It's a very nice restaurant. The food was very good and the service was excellent. It was definitely worth it, and we're planning to go back .

Kid-friendliness: Yes“

“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.“

“Love it here. Great atmosphere and great people.“

“This IS NOT CHRONIC FRIES! THIS IS URBAN BIRD AND IT IS FIRE!!
I believe "Bussin" is the new term. Nashville hot seasoning is delicious, flavorful with a kick.
Chicken & waffles (2 large juicy & crispy) chicken tenders & 1 waffles cut in quarters are comfortable meals. The waffles are soft yet crispy.
Super good!👌🏼
I was trying to come back right the next day! Lol
The seasoned sweet potatoes were so sweet, salty & seasoned to perfection.“

“I have really been looking forward to going to this restaurant but after reading December reviews it appears something happened during that month and I think I'll wait to see reviews from January before I decide. I love the ambiance of the place the fact that it's small and cozy and the menu appealed it to me but if the execution, service and availability is not there then what fronted out as an excellent experience leaves a bad taste on the end. I really hope to read that things have turned around since your last reviews. And do bear in mind that I know that people might complain for reasons that have nothing to do with the restaurant however that being said if they took the time to post it on the site I'm going to keep it in my mind until I read differently. Wishing you the best in 2022!“

“It takes a little bit, but it’s good and fresh every time.“
