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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“First experience and the establishment was clean and well kept. The food was delicious and the service was absolutely amazing! The waiter gave a detailed explanation of the food options on the menu. The lamb shank that was fresh, tender and well seasoned, and the shish tahook was good and full of flavor. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“Delicious place for brunch! Great atmosphere and healthy food options. The salmon citrus salad was good, I enjoyed the grapefruit and orange inside. The salmon could’ve been a little more tender. Both the salad and avocado toasts addition of goat cheese was unique but flavorful. The bacon had a great texture on the avocado toasts addition. The biscuits are filling so I would definitely have those to share, we took some to go.“

“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.“

“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!“

“As Door Dasher who regularly picks up orders at Bellagreen i have been totured by their food for a while so i finally broke down decided to try one of the items I've seen customers order the most, the Waygu Bacon Burger! Its one of the best Burger Bites in the City. They cook everything thing fresh to order! Grace and Anthony will take good care of you! Next on my hit list are the Hempanadas!“

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

“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!!“

“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??“

“This place was awesome! The atmosphere, the whole vibe, the staff, the decore, our server, Janet, were all great. Our food was delicious. The only reason why I’m knocking off a star is because I wasn’t a fan of one of the strawberry cakes. The taste was off a little and it just didn’t do it for me. Everything else was on point. I wish that this allowed us to do half stars b/c I wouldn’t take off a full star, but unfortunately it doesn’t.“

“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 fantastic time dining here recently. The food was absolutely delicious and perfect for sharing with the whole group.

The pizzas were a standout, especially the one topped with a generous swirl of sauce that looked as good as it tasted. Everything was fresh and arrived at the table piping hot. We will definitely be back soon.“

“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!“

“Great place to hang out with friends and family“
