My favorite eatery in Houston. Wide menu and everything is good. My favorite item (besides the baby brownie) is the fattoush salad but the burgers are delicious and the grilled salmon is perfect. Service is always great. All the locations (and I've been to them all) are unique and wonderful!

We just happened to stop in here because there was no line, and they had tables available. The food was lukewarm at best when it came out to us, but once corrected, it was pretty good. The pancakes were huge but room temp and dry so for all those reasons, glad we shared. The biscuit wasn't a favorite either but again, probably due to the food temperature. Cold grits, a big no-no. The grapefruit mimosas were refreshing. Weekend brunch so the place was a bit crowded, but our server was attentive and kept checking on us. He made great recommendations, which we ordered: Green eggs, stack of pancakes and breakfast plate.

Good... a little overhyped but solid place to eat. My burger was fine but the buns were a little burnt. Service is excellent.

Bland food that didn’t look like much effort went into preparing. Fries were good, service was fine.

First time dining here and definitely the last. From the time you walk in, you’re not greeted , and you’re told to pick a table with a fat attitude.Our experience was terrible. We were never offered menus. We had to figure that out on our own. Our waitress nearly dropped a cup of steaming coffee on our child and didn’t even bother to apologize or acknowledge what happened. While we browsed the menu we saw an elderly couple be rushed by the staff to pick a table and before they were seated they were told: “we’re serving lunch, you good with that?”.We decided to just pay for our kids’ food and go. We asked for our check and the staff member that brought it to us put it in front of our child then walked away. We asked that same staff member for a box for the food. She turned around with an offended look on her face and told someone else to grab a box for us. We waited. I went up to the register to ask for the box again, and when the staff member behind the counter grabbed the box, the first woman I asked told her not to give it to me. She said someone else was going to get a box for me. When I looked around, the waitress that had our box was with another table at a different part of the restaurant.Overall, horrible service. Horrible attitudes. Didn’t feel welcomed or wanted there.Parking: Super small parking lot. Very limited parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: Didn’t feel very kid-friendly.

I was craving a pancake so I came for breakfast because online it said they served breakfast on weekends until 2p but they actually stop at 11am. I settled for lunch. I ordered a medium steak and the grilled asparagus. My steak was well done but it was tender so I didn't send it back, I didn't want to wait again and overall the taste of the steak was good. The asparagus wasn't edible. It tasted like it had been doused in lighter fluid or some chemical, it actually made my stomach upset to try to eat the asparagus. I also had the white queso which was great. The servers were very attentive and the patio was nice for me and my dog to enjoy. The dog food options were great too. My pup enjoyed her chicken and rice. I would give more stars but for the price of the steak plate I expected it to be cooked at least close to the temp I ordered and I would've really enjoyed having been able to eat my asparagus. I really wish I knew why my veggies tasted the way they did

The food is low quality for the price in my opinion. Very cheap deli meat on the sandwich. They also were out of espresso which I thought was unusual for a cafe.
