I’ve been coming to Around the Corner for steak night for a while and usually enjoy it, which is why this experience was disappointing.
We arrived around 9:00 PM, later than I usually go… and weren’t told the restaurant had switched to a self-service ordering system. We sat for about 15–20 minutes before I had to walk to the bar to ask what was going on, only then learning we needed to order ourselves. There was no signage or communication explaining this.
After ordering at the bar, giving our table number, and asking if everything was okay, we were told yes. We then waited 30–45 minutes for our food while tables that arrived well after us were being served. When I went back to ask about the delay, I was told our food would be out soon while plates were actively being carried to those later tables, which added to the confusion. Mind you it was nobody really there.. and stray cats just strolling through the tables. We waited maybe another 10 min.. until our food came out.
Shortly after, the person who took our order at the bar came to the table and said there was an issue with my card on his end and the ticket never went through, even though my card had already been authorized and I had already confirmed everything was okay when ordering. Communication throughout the process felt unclear.
They did offer 25% off and complimentary shots, which I appreciated. However, by the time we finished eating, the restaurant was closing …the TVs were turned off, the bar had already closed, and there was no table check-in. I didn’t sign or approve anything; my card was automatically charged (including automatic gratuity), and everyone simply moved on.
I don’t mind self-service, but this felt impersonal and disorganized. I prefer having a waiter or waitress so there’s clear communication and someone to go to when issues come up. The food is solid…but the service and communication just need serious improvement. I’m sharing this feedback mainly to highlight the lack of structure and communication.

Around the corner is for sure becoming one of my favorite places to hang out. Steak night is 2 for 2, drinks were good, atmosphere is cool and chill. Great place to watch sports and kick it with friends. Ask for my girl Lexi, she took care of us all night. Definitely gone be back soon.

It was so loud. We were going to go for steak night last week. Drove all the way there to discover it was irrationally loud.

Went for steak night Thursday. The potatoes were so delicious I ordered extra!
The charcuterie board was made just right, nice scenery but mosquitoes were relentless. We could have gone inside but the patio was so nice, so im looking forward to going in the fall

From out of town, but it looked solid. Seating is a little odd, pick your table, then head up to the bar to order using your table number. Drinks were excellent, food was good and the service was great.

This by far was one of the best atmospheres in Houston that we experienced. We had a great time it was a wide range of music and the bartender Natalie was GREAT!! The drinks were very tasty and she was super nice!

The atmosphere was pleasing and creative. They opened on a night that is usually closed to give the public a Love Island Reunion Watch party. That is knowing the needs of your consumers and meeting that need.
