New American Restaurants near Stafford, TX

“Whiskey Cake never fails. Once again the recommendations from our waiter Christian were absolutely wonderful. We feel like family when we are visiting from North Carolina. He always makes us feel so welcomed. Shout out to Stephanie and Haley for taking the time to say hello. Missed seeing Margaret but I'm sure we will see her before we have to head home. Absolutely recommend this awesome place and staff to everyone.“

“1/5/26- (Monday), I had a long day at work and decided to go to a happy hour. I searched in my area and found this restaurant. It was my first time going. I was greeted when I walked in and went to the bar. The bartender-Russell greeted me with a smile and was very pleasant. He answered all my questions and also suggested some items. I was also given a free appetizer since it was my first time there. Manager-Maegan brought it out to me. She was pleasant and had a smile on her face as well. I so enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, as well as the staff and management. She even given me a free dessert card to come back. I so recommended this location. Great people, food, drinks, and happy hour. They have a large variety as well as the drink menu.“

“I recommend the full menu. My wife and I had our 37 year anniversary dinner tonight,and our server Paisley did an awesome job… kudos to you! Thanks Ingrid for checking with us about our dining experience! We will be back soon.“

“The BEST ceviche I’ve ever had!“

“My husband and I are in Houston for his cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Needless to say, not a trip for fun, but it’s his birthday today, and we wanted to get out of the hotel at the hospital and celebrate just a little. Because he has stage 4 stomach cancer, his dietary needs are limiting, so eating out can be difficult. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. This being our first trip to Houston, we know little about the area, and our cab driver helped us decide on Navy Blue. Well, can I just tell you, they were soooooo accommodating of our needs!!! The chef went out of his way to prepare some special items for us, so my husband could eat. Though his portion size is limited, he thoroughly enjoyed his food, as did I. I ordered a small appetizer of baked in butter Prince Edward Island oysters, simply prepared, and oh so delicious. My husband loves oysters, but they haven’t loved him since he’s been sick. He even had one, and enjoyed it. My husband also loved the cheddar biscuits, and seaweed butter, I couldn’t believe he was able to eat the whole biscuit. They have a simply prepared section in their menu, and you can order your seafood pan seared in olive oil with simple seasonings. This was great for his situation, and he had beautiful pink juicy gulf shrimp. I had the Dover sole, and it was perfectly prepared and boned tableside. Gorgeous presentation, and the fish was absolutely delicious. I ordered the sautéed spinach, and he the creamed potatoes. We shared those, and both were delicious. All the staff were well trained in service and they were super attentive. Our server was magnificent. Thank you Navy Blue for showing us a lovely night out, in an otherwise difficult time. We highly recommend your restaurant to anyone in the Houston area looking for fabulous food, fabulous service, and exquisite attention to detail. This place is wonderful!!!“

“I highly recommend Fielding's River Oaks for group dining and special occasions. The stylish interior immediately stood out to me, with its modern lighting, clean decor, and expansive windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Our group had a large table in a private area, and the space felt comfortable and upscale, perfect for a celebratory get together or even a business dinner. 🍽️ The service was attentive, and the table was set beautifully with everything we needed plates, glasses, cutlery, and napkins all arranged, ready for a relaxed meal with friends or colleagues. The food was excellent pizzas came out hot and perfectly baked, and the burgers looked delicious with generous portions. Drinks flowed throughout the dinner, served in a variety of elegant glasses. One feature I really appreciated was the versatility Fielding’s offers not just indoor dining, but also takeaway and delivery if you prefer to eat elsewhere. Overall, it was a memorable experience thanks to the great atmosphere, quality food, and top 🔝 notch service. I would absolutely go back, whether for a casual lunch or another big event.“

“My husband and I had date night tonight and decided to go to one of our fav spots, again. We've been going to Brandani's for almost 10 years. As always...our experience was superb, so I am taking a moment to give a review:). We're ALWAYS happy. The staff is top notch, the menu is consistently delish, we love the atmosphere, and it's a sweet bonus to be greeted by the Brandani's themselves. Whenever we find ourselves free to have a date night we can always rely on Brandani's for a lovely evening. Well, I somehow bumped my glass of red wine and it splattered all over my face and shirt tonight...but because the Brandani staff is so wonderful and we feel at home, it was easy to laugh off and continue to enjoy our evening together. Ha. Two thumbs up. As always! 🥰“

“Our first experience with Bellagreen was scrumptious! We were visiting Houston and googled for gluten free vegetarian meals. Very thankful our search led us here. The atmosphere was relaxed and the aesthetics overall were spot on. I had the seasonal harvest salad and it was nothing but perfection! Everything was so fresh and made a beautifully colorful plate. My daughter tried a veggie burger for the very first time and she loved it! Keep up the good work Bellagreen. see you on our next trip!“

“I live in Georgia and True food kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Houston. I’ll go every weekend if possible! Food is delicious, I would suggest ordering the ancient grains bowl. Service is great, I always enjoy having Stephanny as my server, she is very kind and helpful. She has the best suggestions ever! 100% recommended!!“

“Our server Carlos was fantastic! He was so attentive and made great food recommendations. I had the spicy Italian sausage pizza and could not help but eat the entire thing in one sitting. Great food and amazing service! My friends and I will be going back for sure.“

“A delicious date night. Terrific food and excellent service thanks to Dominic.“

“The food was delicious! The service was excellent, and the atmosphere/ experience was awesome! I loved every minute of it, and also enjoyed the Photo Booth experience.“

“This restaurant exceeded my expectations! I chose it based on the vibe in the photos and the wine and brunch menu and it was superb! From the atmosphere and our amazing server Maxwell, It was the perfect spot to spend 4 hrs catching up with my bestie before she flew out. Thanks Maxwell you were truly a delight and the cherry on top of our already great day!!“

“First time Birthday Luncheon, food was excellent and the service was great. I’ll be back“

“Loved my first experience here at this eatery! So so delicious“

“I've come here several times and everytime they mess up my order.I don't know if it's because I ask for a military discount ( which they have) or something else but the service I received is less than the other patrons that come here.“

“Hosted an event for a large birthday party this past weekend and we had a great experience! From the service to the food, everything was perfectly taken care of! The head chef personally came and introduced himself and our waiter was very attentive and proactive with drinks and the cake I had brought to celebrate! My guests really appreciated the fact that the menu has something for everyone from Mocktails, vegetarian, vegan and halal options! Would definitely recommend!“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Barcello! The pepperoni pizza is delicious and definitely one of my favorites. 🍕 The service was also great, especially thanks to our waiter Stanley. He was very friendly, attentive, and professional. Great place with delicious pizza and excellent service!“

“We had an amazing experience at Balboa! Starting with the complimentary valet, which was quick and friendly service. The entry to the restaurant was super nice and a great photo opportunity spot. Kyrah took excellent care of us during our visit, and we loved the team style service. It felt like we had a team serving us, and they are so quick and quiet that you can continue to hold conversations and visit but someone is always near if you need anything. Kyrah took special care to "refresh" our cocktail glasses when we finished about half of our drinks, and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing. Our table tried the fried shrimp, oysters, spicy ahi tuna roll, crab cake, Post Oak ribeye with pureed potatoes, salmon with the most delicious and unique salad, and heirloom tomatoes. The cocktails were delicious, including the Gold Rush, Rum Dum, and el Guero. The restaurant vibe is romantic but fun and sophisticated and has an open kitchen concept where you can see the food being made if you care to watch. I will most definitely be back and can confidently recommend this place to anyone!“

“We always have a good meal and good times at Del Vista! The menu has so many of our favorites and always consistently prepared.“

“This restaurant and I might be best friends. I have probably seen some of the servers more than members of my own family. Why? Because the food is so phenomenal that I just keep coming back. During high school, I came at least once a week between sports practice and late-night obligations, since during happy hour, I could order a delicious burger with fries and an Arnold Palmer for under $15. The staff have always been amazing, and everyone constantly checks on me, even if I'm not their designated client, asking me things like how's school going, how my knee was recovering, etc. There are few restaurants with as much overall quality as Relish.“

“I cannot recommend this restaurant due to a lack of pricing transparency. Additional charges are not clearly disclosed, and an 18% service fee is automatically included in the bill, yet customers are still prompted to leave an additional tip. As a result, what appears to be a simple meal with drinks can cost around $40. For individuals on a modest income, this pricing structure feels excessive and unfair. Greater clarity and honesty in billing practices would significantly improve the dining experience.“

“Great healthy food. Me and my wife both loved what we ordered.“

“I ordered takeout on two separate occasions as they don't serve in house. I ordered a turkey burger the first time and the chicken parm on the second time. Both orders were fantastic. The woman working upfront was awesome on both occasions and brought my orders to my car in half the time she said it would be ready.“

“Perfect place for healthy, delicious, happy food. The food is so eclectic and fresh. The ambience is open but also feels like private seating. They even have their own store for buying healthy, modern or fusion food options. Pictures are the harvest salad with tofu, crunchy Chicken sandwich and Asian chicken salad. I will definitely be back here soon to try their other cool dishes!“

“Highly recommended!!! Came for breakfast for the first time and loved the relaxing atmosphere and great food.“

“My wife made a reservation for my birthday celebration and we were placed with Rashad. Excellent recommendations and well versed on menu choices. Service was always top notch and never missed a beat on keeping drinks full and checking on us. Food had an amazing taste full of flavor and very fulfilling. Recommend trying this restaurant if you’re in the area and ask for Rashad!“

“Excellent service, a real presentation of the food, all courses. I did restaurant week, but most at my table ordered off regular menu. The desserts were not as good as they sounded, but the entrees were great. A little heavy on the salt, but otherwise good. My family lived the Paella, and the beef medallions were rich and the appetizers of fried asparagus and a mix were good, but my favorite was the shrimp cocktail. Would get that again. We were in a private room for 8, and we had an excellent time. Valet is necessary, but I felt good about parking.“

“Beyond. Beyond! The best dining experience I have had in forever with the best staff! The place is a gem and the food is outstanding… and the salads .. chefs kiss!!! The place is adorable and the Outdoor is gorgeous! Delicious! 5 stars! (Ask for shanke)“

“Incredible wine selection. Interesting menu options. Intimate setting. What more could one ask for??“

“I absolutely love this restaurant. I love design with beautiful fresh roses. We celebrated here our anniversary twice and also been here for Valentine’s day and we loved it so much every time. The food is really good and there are plenty of healthy options. And the hospitality is beyond amazing. Thank you so much everyone for making our anniversary so beautiful, and special thanks to Eddy who went far and beyond to make our night perfect!!“

“We happened upon Alex last year and it has become a favorite with us and our family. Italian inspired menu - but I have enjoyed everything I have had - fish steak scallops - I have recently been ordering what ever the daily special is - always a winner! Also perhaps the best brussel sprouts I have ever had. Do not sleep on their wine menu and bar. Really outstanding selection of bourbons and quality cocktails. Don’t let the exterior fool you - this is one of the Houston area hidden gems. Fine dining in a strip mall is Missouri City - yup that is exactly what it is.“

“GREAT BURGER!!!! highly recommend it.“

“Absolutely delicious. Best Thai food I have had in ages!!! Will be back!“

“This is a multistate chain that is focussed on tacos. They have a standard menu and then seasonal options. Breakfast tacos also all day. The team at this location was helpful and friendly, even when I showed up 10 minutes before closing they were great. The shrimp taco was excellent and I enjoyed the fried avocado taco though the amount of refried beans on it overtook the avocado by a bit.“

“We had a lovely summer evening dinner on the patio. We had the fig and prosciutto pizza and some appetizers for dinner and everything was delicious. We ended the evening with some nice coffees and the à la mode dessert! Thanks to Tiny Boxwoods for never disappointing. Winston was our server and he was very attentive and polite. A+“

“Always a great meal great atmosphere and the staff is wonderful. Some of the best bourbons you will find and a fantastic wine list.“

“Delicious, healthy choices.“

“JANETT the best services in Houston“

“Awesome food choices and drink specials.“

“Flower Child is amazing! we have been coming for years! The woodlands location is closer to us and we love the outside seating.“

“great food, great beer and a wonderful staff“

“Good first experience at Tinys. The parking is a pain so be prepared to street park and walk a bit. However the decor is nice and the staff were friendly. The pizzas were really good but would say the cocktails weren't the best as the margarita just tasted like tequila.“

“I only recommend just take the food and bring your own coffees because their coffee tastes is awful and the prices of the foods are reasonable“

“Uptown Houston Texas.💯🙏❤️“

“The moment you walk in you feel like you are walking into your own family’s home for dinner. From the cashier who was welcoming and made suggestions, to the very attentive server (Glendy) who didn’t miss a beat with her upbeat and friendly energy and last but not least Cody the super nice manager that went to every table more than once to make sure you were well taken care of. I must say Black Walnut is always one of my favorite places to go for some good eating and friendly staff.“

“Best of The Best! Taste of best African Cuisine in a serene environment. Love it....recommend to ALL!“

“What a fantastic experience. The food was amazing and the staff was wonderful. A little special made whipped cream for a little girl’s pancake goes a long way with a mom! The skillet and chicken and biscuits was fresh and delicious. Thank you for starting our day off just right!“

“I came to this world to see the sun and the blue horizon.“

“Best service in town“
