It seriously is "Just F'n Burgers,", which would be cool if they under-sold themselves and then wowed you with an amazing burger, but noooooo...they have to underwhelm you, too. The lady who took my order was very nice and helpful, she even came out to the sitting area to ask me if I wanted it for here or to go. She even told me that she would smash it so that it's well-done. Turns out I had to eat around the center, because it was pinkish. But that's only half the story. The burger had no redeeming quality. I remember burgers from my elementary school cafeteria having better taste AND they were cooked all the way through. It was the least expensive option in Lyruc Market, but you get what you pat for!

Came here after a comedy show on a Friday night but it was pretty empty when I arrived.there were 3 couples at the bar all with drinks. I sat waiting for about 15 min before I was approached by one of the bartenders.I ordered 2 drinks and a large party came in with about 8 people, they received their drinks before me.At this point I was there for 30 min before I received my first drink. My friend paid for this round and I wanted to order more drinks. I kept looking at the bartender to try to get either one of their attention and had no luck.in the 25 minutes we sat there with empty drinks neither bartender approached us at any point in time.

Lyric Market is a nice food hall centrally located in Downtown Houston. It was my first time visiting. On a Saturday afternoon it was not very busy, and the ambiance was a bit dull. I imagine it gets really packed at certain times. They have a variety of dining options. They provide complimentary 2-hour parking available with a Lyric Market purchase. Great perk. Check them out. I'd visit again. ~This review is for La Cocina by Mexican Mom.~ MEXICAN MOM!!!! Do yall remember the community event in North Houston at Mexican Mom? Well, ten days ago they opened right here in Lyric Market. Stopped by to check out the market and ran right into Mexican Mama herself! We introduced ourselves and mentioned the community event and she came from around the counter to greet us with big hugs!! She also gave us some sweet treats. Mexican Mama is genuine, caring, and so kind. She values her customers and the community that she serves. First, we ordered two empanadas - chicken and cheese & creamy poblano. Tore 'em up! Went back and ordered two more creamy poblano empanadas...clearly, these are my favorite! While eating, she brought over sides of refried beans + spicy avocado sauce w/cojita cheese. A pleasant and delicious surprise! She offered us delicious drinks as well. 10/10 experience and I plan on returning as often as I can! Great customer service! See you soon, Mexican Mama!

I went here about two hours ago when I was in town looking for food. It was the only place around I saw with food to go. I tried the vegan tacos I recommend. I wasn't sure if I would like it but it was great. I tried the shrimp quesadilla as well and it was great. I would recommend it. The lady at the register was very nice and helpful. The places looked great. I wanted to try the place that had ice cream but it was freezing. This place was recommended to me and I am glad it was great. I thought it was a bit expensive but it tastes good. The sides are small so I give it a 4 instead of a 5.

Slowest service on a Saturday night. 15 minutes to take my order and 25 minutes to bring me a martini from the tap.

I went to the bar at the Lyric. The service is awful, and surly when it exists. I've tried a couple of times and I'm done.

I went to sushi dorado inside the market. Overall was good. Prices are too high for not being a restaurant. Market environment was nice but it was very loud during to a party going on in the next bar. Salmon sashimi was good and Dorado tempura roll was delicious. Miso soup and seaweed salad were average.

Another pretentious, grey, liminal-spacey dining hall, where the only thing higher than the ceiling are the prices at the bar. The individual restaurants deserve their own individual ratings, and if you're looking for food, Lyric has a fun selection (I've seen both a Cajun place and a Japanese place, and several other assorted restaurants. The ramen place, Samurai Noodle, is excellent. The prices at Samurai also appear to be the same as the Heights location, so yay for that!) The ambiance of the dining hall makes me want to gag. Thank god the food is so good. There's only one bar in the whole establishment, and none of the individual restaurants are allowed to sell alcohol due to some BS technicalities from TABC. The unfortunate result is everyone has to go to the same pretentious, generic, overpriced bar for drinks no matter which restaurant you're eating at. This REALLY sucks if you're someone who likes to alternate ordering alcohol between your appetizers or meal as you eat and relax. Overall takeaway: Eat here. Don't drink here. And don't look around too much unless you want to feel like you sideclipped through the wall in a really bizarre video game.
Always excellent service especially when Rahvin is our bartender.
