“I go with a very small group almost every Saturday. The omelets are DEliscious along with the home fries. I’ve never been disappointed with anything at City Cafe! The servers are all very friendly (Jenny gets a special shoutout) and very attentive. The owner always stops by the table to say hello and welcome. Just a good place for great food, breakfast and lunch. Specials every day for lunch! You won’t regret stopping by!“

“La comida riquísima , el servicio exelente súper amables !!!“

“The best Nicaraguan food in the United States! The place is humble but the food and service fill your stomach and your heart! Above all because of its seasoning and attention….. The man who serves adds seasoning to his food and his jokes. Super recommended.“

“Makes you feel like you’re home. Handmade tortillas and really good customer service. Like the señora calls me mijo and just brings back memories from mi pueblito. There is flavor not just in the food but also in the atmosphere. The chairs and decor is basic however what really matters is the food and atmosphere. Toilets were clean and the dining area was clean as well . Tables didn’t have any sticky residue. The menudo is very good just ask them to take a bit of the grease off and ask for extra limes and onion to complement it. Wash it down with a horchata and you’ll be a happy camper for the rest of the day.“

“Went here to start off the new year. I haven't been here since they moved from the old location and I was not disappointed. Server was awesome he came by several times making sure our drinks were filled and we had plenty of napkins. Food is really good for a buffet, I rather go here than golden corral any day of the week.“

“This has to have the best service. Love this location and have been going for decades. The food is always fresh, especially on weekends but best of all are the servers. I have to say im a bit forgetful and often misplace my phone but usually when I go back to where I lost it..I dont get it back. Just today I forgot my phone, and the staff and owner helped me out. I ended up finding it later and everyone was relieved.“

“Brunch meal is honestly good enough to make your tongue leap out your mouth and lick your eyebrows ! ! ! !“

“1/12/2025-This is a awesome vibe here. The ambiance is a nice bistro with some crazy art to keep you entertained but the music and lighting sets the mood. I would come back here again and again. I visited here without a reservation and was greeted when I first came in. The staff was nice friendly and attentive. Emma was awesome and recommended some dishes. The burger, half chicken, rice, and sesame butter cookie were awesome and the drinks. I had the voodoo drink. I highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.“

“My first visit at First Watch was totally awesome thanks to my server Brianna. She was very attentive to my needs and wants. The food was great and her service was excellent. Thank you Brianna for a wonderful outing. I most definitely will be back to see you.“

“Everything GREAT. I recommend getting the shrimp tempura. It’s my absolute favorite and the Spicy chicken with cabbage , corn and mushrooms 🤤🤤🤤“

“Awesome food and staff. They are always so kind and helpful. Love the atmosphere and location“

“After seeing on television that the restaurant won a James Beard award, I put it on my list of places to go. The expectations were pretty high, and our party was not disappointed. The medium spice level was perfect...flavorful with a kick. Drunken Noodles, Krapow Beef, and the Meatball Appetizer were our favorites. This restaurant was an hour drive for us and did not disappoint. It was worth the trip, and we will be back. The only two criticisms would be that their front door is darkened, and from outside, does not look like an actual entrance. And the noise level was a little high, so our server had to repeat herself a few times, but she didn't seem to mind and checked on us regularly to make sure we were enjoying ourselves“

“It was awesome. Great service“

“What a gem! I’ve been searching for 6 years for a decent Thai spot in Houston and I finally found one. The others are not exaggerating when they say best Thai food in Houston. This will be my new go to for Thai. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was great.“

“Live the skillet potatoes, filet and key lime pie!“

“This place is awesome! Plenty of space both indoor and outdoor.

The beers here are great! I tried their honey agave cider and Christmas Ale, both fantastic and unique. Everyone that we were with enjoyed their drinks.

We came to Saint Arnolds Brewing to attend a rehearsal dinner, so we got to try their food too. I loved everything especially the potato salad! It was funny because I was recently craving German food and here we were with a German buffet!

If you are considering having an event here it is a great place for that. The rehearsal dinner that we attended was on the second floor of the actual brewery which gave us our own space away from general public. It was very spacious and they even have taps that run up to the 2nd floor!

HIGHLY recommend checking out Saint Arnolds! What a fun place.“

“Absolutely best lunch “experience.” Food was the absolute best. Service and education on Japanese food was phenomenal. Mia was THE BEST!!!! This is a must visit place in Houston. Will be back every time I’m in town. Order the eggplant and thank me later!“

“Only one word can accurately describe this dining experience: WOW! OK, maybe a few other words: incredible, outstanding, fantastic, delicious, amazing, and unique! This was truly an experience! It all started with the wonderful service from Nate, the Maitre D. He was so kind, personable and professional! Then came Valentin, our server, who was so friendly, knowledgable, and again, professional! The food was insane! A feast for the eyes and the senses! I loved that the restaurant was quiet, even though it was busy. This is a restaurant that knows what they're doing...and they're doing EVERYTHING RIGHT! I cannot wait to go back, and I'm telling everyone I know about our superb experience! Thank you for a great night!!“

“Outstanding food and prices“

“Very good service and superb food! A must-try when visiting downtown Houston.“

“delicioso y muy agradable lugar!“

“Coincidentally, I ran into someone wearing a Sinfull Bakery shirt. I asked about the vegan reference. I did not realize I was talking to THE Chef Dylan of the bakery. I decided to take a Saturday drive and check it out. Wonderful surprises were waiting for me! Had the Monkey Bread Muffin and purchased the cheesecake with apple topping for later. I will definitely return. Check it out.“

“First time trying this burger. it's so delicious and the loaded fries are so delicious as well. I would recommend this place and definitely coming back to eat here again.“

“Wanted to try a new burger place and came here. Got the Truck Stopper and the Spicy Chipotle with fries. Burgers and fries were very good. Appealing options for burgers. Liked the diner-style setting and vintage decor. Staffer who took our order was nice and made helpful recommendations. Interested to try their Chilis next time. There are a few parking spots in front of the restaurant; otherwise, I think people park in the street.“

“If you want to taste the VERY best of Houston, this is it! We ordered 3 different bowls and each one blew us away with depth of flavor, intense yummyness created with authenticity and uniqueness unlike anything else in this city! We will be back, often, as i feel the entire menu needs exploring. Wait staff were incredible which just put the icing on the cake. Thank you!“

“Our experience at Ninfas is always stellar. We love their fajitas, chips and dip and margaritas. Our server last time we were there, Ernesto Islas, was awesome and anticipated our every need. Thanks Ninfa’s for being our go-to Mexican food spot!“

“We loved our visit to Twin Peaks. A group of us guys were in need of some beer and stopped by Twin Peaks. Genesis was helpful with the lunch menu. She constantly kept checking up on us.“

“Absolutely the best tacos south of Houston. Crossroads brisket all the way 🤤✨“

“When I tell you everything here was on point I mean EVERYTHING. Not only was the food amazing and cooked to perfection but every server should take a class from our server. He was amazing. knew exactly what to recommend. Went above and beyond, extremely attentive and kind. This is my go to spot for life.“

“Nice, quick outdoor patio spot with a relaxed vibe. Orders are placed through a kiosk, which made things simple and fast. The tacos were delicious, and I definitely want to come back on a night off to try the drinks they looked amazing. The music videos playing added a fun atmosphere, not sure how often they do that, but it gave the place some extra energy. Overall, a great casual spot I’d recommend and revisit.“

“Best Mexican food in all of Houston. Staff is always incredibly friendly and prices are very affordable. 10/10 only down side is the limited parking.“

“Great burgers with a creative twist! Fantastic cocktails! Inexpensive!“

“Outstanding food, service and selection. Enjoyed our meal and the ambience.“
