This was my first experience with Credence and the atmosphere was new, modern and a little noisy. The lunch gnocchi was my first experience with gnocchi (in particular cornmeal gnocchi) so I have nothing with which to compare; I would probably not have it again but it wasn't bad. I have had plenty of beet salads and this didn't make the top ten. The grilled tuna salad my husband ordered rated a 0 on a scale of 1-5. The tuna may have been grilled as advertised, but there was no evidence of it, and there was absolutely no taste to it. I would have expected there to be some seasoning, but again, no evidence. The green beans were so crunchy they might as well have been fresh-picked and the sauce over the snow peas was so tasteless, Ranch dressing would have been a huge improvement. I could only eat one, and I really like snow peas. Until they get a better chef, I will not be returning.

The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.

Went here for lunch on the weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the food! I've been driving past…read morethis place for a while now and I'm so happy I got around to trying it. Me and a friend split the Kebab Land mix that was recommended for 1 person, but it was the perfect amount of food for two people. The shish kebab skewer was super tender and had good flavor and the beef skewer was also tasty, but just a bit tough in my opinion. The chicken was moist and had a good charred flavor. The rice and grilled tomatoes were standard though the homemade bread was a bit thin and bland. Considering the bold flavors from the other elements of the food, the bread did complement it well. (6.5/10) Overall, the food is very comparable to other restaurants that serve this kind of cuisine. I think this place is definitely filling in a gap as there are not many other places in this area that serve this kind of food. If I were craving some kebabs and didn't want to drive too far I would definitely come back here. The owner was also super kind And the service was quick. Something else to note is that they only have bottled water that they charge for but the hot tea is free. The ambiance is super casual and parking is super easy because there are a ton of spots around as it is apart of a huge plaza.

This was the saddest meal I've had in a very long time. It must've been a bad night or something…read morebased on other reviews, but I can't give a place that messed up so badly another chance. I was really looking forward to a shawarma option in this area, but I guess I'll have to keep driving all the way to Westheimer for a decent shawarma. Came at around 6pm on a Saturday and it wasn't very busy. Went inside to place a to-go order and service was very nice. Food took about 10-15 mins to come out. The place felt clean. Loved that the kitchen was right there and open so that you could see your food being made. Unfortunately, that didn't help the quality of the food at all. We considered eating inside but there weren't a lot of tables (the patio wasn't open yet), and there was a ridiculously bright, strobing open sign that ruined the ambiance of the restaurant, so we opted for eating in the car. LAMB WRAP: Lamb was under-seasoned/bland. Pickled veggies were over-seasoned/salty. Too much pickled veggies compared to meat. The ratio was completely off. Leaked a lot of juice, probably from all the veggies, and made it super messy. Who wants to eat a wrap that's dripping veggie juice the entire time? They need to reduce the veggies, increase the amount of meat, and most importantly, fix their seasoning issues! It was almost inedible. BEEF SHAWARMA WRAP: All the same major issues as the lamb wrap. Beef was under-seasoned/bland. Pickled veggies were over-seasoned/salty. Too much pickled veggies compared to meat. Dripped a ridiculous amount of veggie juice the entire time, making it super messy. FRIES: Dry and under seasoned. GARLIC SAUCE: Very watery and not garlicky/flavorful enough. FALAFEL: My bf said it was good, not great. The only decent part of the entire meal.

DJ Min who also doubles as the owner kept the mix high energy and it did not miss a beat all night. The bartender Axle was a terrific host taking care of patrons as quickly as they were hitting the bar. Drinks were excellently made and With Soju shots currently at $2 and specialty shots at $3 they can be relatively inexpensive. Just make sure to ask the bartender which shots fall under the special. However be ready for well liquor if you are ordering a mixed drink. James the HookahMan takes care of hookah patrons rather quickly and is very passionate about his flavors and setups making for a very pleasant experience as he takes care of you all night. The only things that need work is the lack of a physical menu for drinks causing you to try and pick something out from 3 screens flashing the menu and specials seemingly at random (I ended up sitting there with my phone taking a picture of each screen before making my order). On a personal preference the murals are beautiful but I feel the private rooms might have served better as private sections not closed off from the DJ music and the rest of the lounge. Makes the place feel a bit tight. I enjoyed my time here and I look forward to frequenting this spot on Saturdays!

Two things worth knowing: there's a dress code, and parking is valet only. You enter through the candy store and are then led into the bar and lounge. I loved the decor and the vibe. It's a perfect spot for a group of friends to gather and catch up, and the noise level is just right for conversation. The cocktail selection is solid. Snack options are limited to a charcuterie board or hummus. I had the hummus and a vanilla old fashioned and enjoyed both. Last but not least, the service was superb. I'm looking forward to returning. This would be a great place to start your night or to wind down after going elsewhere.

They managed to keep the same relaxed neighborhood vibe people love while giving it a much more modern, polished, and upscale feel. The updated design, lighting, TVs and overall atmosphere look incredible and make the space feel fresh without losing its personality. They still have the spinning drink wheel! The outdoor seating especially feels elevated now and makes for the perfect Houston brunch spot or night out. One of the best parts about NextDoor is that it's connected to Hungry's, which means you get full access to their menu while enjoying the lounge atmosphere. Being able to order everything from cocktails and appetizers to full meals while at a bar is a game changer. The food is consistently good, the drinks are strong (especially the frozen options) well-made, and everything comes out quickly. What keeps me coming back year after year is the consistency. The staff has always been welcoming and attentive, the crowd is chill, and it never feels overly pretentious or chaotic. It's one of those rare spots that works for everything, whether it's happy hour after work, date night, catching up with friends over drinks on the patio or a solo adventure. Love seeing a longtime Houston favorite continue to evolve while still delivering the same great experience that's kept me coming back for years. Definitely one of my go-to spots on Memorial Drive. My only suggestion is to tell the younger staff members to be conscious of their conversations while guest are dining nearby. I love people watching but I heard a lot of things. It appears Hungry's uses the bar area like a break/training room or to do other tasks like rolling utensils in napkins.
