    Biscuit & gravy
    Daisy P.

    Brunch is Sat & Sun 11am-3pm I went during brunch and it was a good experience! Great service, outdoor and indoor seating, the inside a good vibe to eat or drink and relax. I would definitely come back to check out their dinner menu and cocktails. Food was good, the outdoor tables are a bit rusty but it compliments the ambiance. Inside they have a lot of vinyls and have dj's at night. This is a hidden gem.

    Their extensive vinyl collection means the music is always varied. The coffee shop at the bar makes great drinks.

    Whether you want a chill brunch or a hip, energetic evening, 93' Til offers both. With a casual neighborhood vibe that extends from the afternoon until the evening, the cocktails, coffee, and drinks are all equally great. Their chicken sandwich is a must try and has gotten well deserved accolades. Perfectly breaded, toasted bun, and very juicy. We paired it with the churro French toast, an almost cloyingly sweet (but perfectly cooked) dish that definitely needed a savory balance. Their bacon is delicious, super thick with a slightly herby flavor. The evening hours can get loud between the crowds and the DJ, but the vibe is still really cool and chill. Definitely one of the more unique, fun spots of the Montrose/Upper Kirby area.

    Biscuit and gravy brunch

    Super vibey spot with house music on the speakers, friendly staff, and tons of seating for dining on their delicious food or doing work. 93' Til has been on my bucket list for so long and I'm so glad I finally got to visit! The only unfortunate part of my experience was that the two of us at my table got the same dish - biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was dense but softened under the rich and savory gravy, and I got my eggs over easy to get the yolk mixed in. I also added some of their house-made habanero curry hot sauce, which is absolutely delicious. I'll definitely have to try a few other dishes next time! Their coffees are also great, with unique flavors for their lattes like spiced guava and molasses. Both of these were super tasty, hot and iced! Ultimately 93' Til is staying on my brunch list as a top tier choice, I can't wait to come back!

    the vibes are definitely on point, i pulled up on a random day and it was lively. i can't speak to the quality of the food, but the cocktails did not disappoint! the layout is fun, with seating indoors and outdoors. the service was great! would definitely recommend! bonne santé

    This place had a really cool open space inside. They are always spinning records by the bar. The food and drinks were okay. Although the service felt a bit slow it's still a pretty good spot to hang out in.

    I previously came to 93' Til for an exclusive Yelp event and was so in love with the vibe and the drinks that I decided to return on a solo dinner date. I was a little confused about the seating because there was outdoor seating and reserved indoor tables. One of the staff came and clarified for me so I chose to sit outside since it wasn't too hot. A server offered me water and then I waited a while for my actual server to come by. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have the Hamachi Collar to try but I'll keep my eyes peeled for future daily specials. My drink order was taken and then later my food order was taken. I ordered a Lychee 75, Fingerling Potatoes and Lamb Shoulder. It was so delicious and the ambiance with the vinyls playing through the speaker made it all the more better. I really enjoyed myself and the food and drinks were really immaculate. The only downside was the amount of time I waited. I waited about 30 min in total from when I got my water, placed my drink order (and then was re-prompted for a drink order to which I reminded my server that I already ordered) and then received my first drink. I also went almost half of the dinner before I got a water refill. I don't know if I was sitting in a inconspicuous spot (behind the front door, outside) but I felt slightly forgotten about. The food came out in a decent amount of time but it was still about 40-45 min from ordering. Truthfully, the food was so delicious that I kind of didn't care about the wait time after the fact. All in all, I would 100% return regardless. It seems like a great place to bring a few friends and just enjoy the atmosphere. Really really enjoyed this place overall and I'll definitely be back

    I genuinely have mixed feelings about this establishment and about my experience. I really wanted to give it 5 stars but there are a few reasons why I can't. I'll start with the positives: As soon as we walked in, the vibes were immaculate, they were playing one of my favorite songs. For some reason I thought the records would have just been a prop but they were playing great music all night and switching out the records. I was able to hear some of my favorite artists/songs. I think this is a great environment for those who want to experience night life without going anywhere that is too rowdy. It was a very chill and laid back environment. Secondly, the drink menu is pretty nice. My friend and I both had the lychee 75. It was good but honestly, it tasted almost identical to a lemon drop to me. On to the not so positives: the food menu is very strange and specific. There were only about 2 items on the menu that I would have been okay with trying if I was in the mood for a chicken sandwich or fish. Other than that, not even an appetizer looked appealing to me. We were both hungry but the menu was not appealing enough for us to order food so my friend decided to get the tres leches carrot cake.. two desserts that I despise, combined in one. She offered me some so I took a few bites but she ate most of it. After finishing our drinks and talking for awhile, we got our checks and for some odd reason the waiter decided to split the dessert on both of our checks. I thought it was very strange that he didn't even ask if we wanted to split it, considering that my friend stated that SHE would be ordering the dessert for herself. I didn't ask the waiter to correct this because I didn't mind splitting this with my friend but it's the principle of it. Anyway..despite the negatives, I would definitely go back because I did enjoy myself here but I'd be sure to eat before I go and just order drinks.

    I always have a good time at 93' til. The food menu is always rotating but the time I was here the tres leches was to die for. I'm still dreaming about it. Staff is always kind! Shout out to Jerome for always giving the best hospitality. When you walk in, it'll give you coffee shop/ record store / lounge vibes. They do play vinyls and sometimes will them on repeat until they change it out but the music selection is good. It's a great spot to come listen to music, catch up with the homies and have some bites. You can always expect good vibes at 93.

    Biscuits and gravy, fried Chicken Sandwich, matcha latte
    Stephanie Z.

    We stopped by for a late lunch and tried the matcha latte, fried chicken sandwich, and biscuits with sausage gravy. The matcha latte tasted like watery milk with no matcha flavor at all. The fried chicken sandwich was large and appeared tasty with a tall pile of slaw. I appreciated the crunchiness of the chicken, but it didn't have much flavor. The biscuits and gravy dish was delicious though, with generous sausage gravy blanketing a fluffy biscuit. The service was not very attentive. The ambiance was very casual.

    I love this spot so much. Chill, vibey with the best music. The staff is awesome as well. So far I have only had bomb drinks but look forward to grabbing some food soon. The space -- They have a pretty large patio to enjoy the outdoors. If that's not your thing, inside has a mix of loungey type furniture and dinning tables. Parking -- they have some spots in a lot but also plenty of street parking.

    Came in on a Saturday night. Seated immediately with a group of 5. Dress code: casual Food 4.5/5: got the chicken sandwich, beetroot salad and brocollini. Beetroot was too salty for me but the sandwich was amazing, highly recommend it. Brocollini was quite good as well. Service 4.5/5: very friendly and helpful, accommodating about splitting a check. Slightly slow at times but overall a great experience Ambiance 4.5/5: cool ambiance kind of a mix of chill casual speakeasy, cafe and bar. A bit loud at times Value 4/5: good food for a good price. Seems like more than fair value for the sandwich but the rest of the food, prices seemed par for the course Overall 4.4/5: overall a good experience, seems a bit like a jack of all trades, none of the categories was "wow" but everything was very solid. Would definitely come back another night to try more options. Except maybe the chicken sandwich. That was pretty wow.

    I visited this spot for brunch with friends on the weekend. Located in Montrose, it has a small parking lot and street parking nearby. The place boasts a trendy, hipster vibe and a spacious patio, which is a plus. I was looking forward to try this place out based on other reviews and pictures. Unfortunately, I found the brunch menu to be quite limited. I ordered a latte and the hangover burrito. The latte was fantastic, but the burrito was underwhelming. For $14, it came with no sides and was only about half the size of what you'd get at Chipotle. Service was lackluster--similar to what you'd find at a local coffee shop. The staff took our order and brought our food and check, but that was about it. To top it off, they automatically added a 20% tip for our group, which felt excessive given the service quality. Overall, I think I would enjoy this place more as a coffee shop rather than a dining destination. I likely won't be returning for food.

    Are children allowed?

    Yes. But it is louder cause of the music inside.

    What are the happy hour specials?

    Hi! Go to their website, 93-til.com - then click on either Drinks or Dinner Menu and scroll to the very bottom. They have drink and food specials, as well as hours.

    Do they play music during lunch service?

    I'm pretty sure they do since they are more of a music bar

Luckily it was large as I had to bring my stroller in to use it as a changing table since they didn't have one. The challenging part was the door wouldn't fully open so I had to really push it to get it open far enough to get the stroller in

When you first walk in, the interior is dimly lit, warm, and welcoming. The arugula salad appetizer was the perfect balance of light and flavorful with a good peppery kick from the fresh arugula. The Nancy cakes were simple but comforting, and with the roe made it an incredible experience. We also tried the lamb tartare and the burger, and both blew our minds away.

I was actually pleasantly surprised, it was spacious, shaded, and really comfortable. We started with the Nancy Cakes, which are always a 10/10 and easily the highlight of the meal. We also tried the yellowtail aguachile with roasted poblano and sunflower seed za'atar, which was just okay--nothing particularly memorable. For my entrée, I ordered the burger and specifically asked for the aioli on the side. Unfortunately, it came on the burger, and there was so much of it that it completely overpowered everything else. Coming back after a few years, we were hoping to be reminded why this place is so popular, but overall we left a little underwhelmed. I'm not sure we'd go out of our way to snag a reservation again.

    I've been here SO many times and I've never left them a review. Shame on me! Maybe I'm trying to…read morekeep it a secret (insert shushing emoji) This place is my favorite steakhouse in all of Houston. They cook the steaks to perfection every single time. For appetizers, I highly recommend the yellowtail sashimi. I'm sorry I didn't post a picture - I was SO hungry. I literally ate it like candy. Speaking of candy, it has Pop Rocks on top of the yellowtail. See how I tied that in, kids? My friends (also Yelp Elite) and I decided to do everything family-style. Since it's Restaurant Week (really Restaurant Month), we ordered a bunch of appetizers. The blue crab hush puppies were my second favorite. I wasn't a huge fan of the heirloom tomato because the wheat bread was way too thick for my liking. I would have preferred sourdough. But let's be honest - the reason I come here is for the mac & cheese and steak. I got the steak flight, which is about $110, but it's worth every penny. The Wagyu literally cuts like butter. The sides are HUGE and easily shareable with four people, so keep that in mind when ordering. Unfortunately, my friend did not enjoy his swordfish. His exact words were, "It tastes like dried chicken." My wife ordered the salad and absolutely loved it. Once again, the portion was enormous. If I'm judging this place solely on the wine, steaks, sides, and atmosphere, it's an easy five stars. You just have to know what to order. I was definitely disappointed to hear about the fish, but everything else keeps bringing me back.

I opted for the high top right by the kitchen, and honestly, great choice -- it smelled amazing. Most people prefer not to sit by the kitchen with all the foot traffic but I didn't mind it at all. Nobie's is a house that's been transformed into a restaurant. One of the bartenders told me it's a 104-year-old house, and the whole place has very "house party" vibes in the best way. The music is LOUD. And it gets progressively louder as the night goes on, so if that's not your vibe, keep that in mind. But I was very into it. Lil Flip was playing when I walked in and it took me back to high school house parties. On shuffle were more throwbacks and classics: Ludacris and "Notorious Thugs" by Biggie. The chairs, however, were not my favorite. They're low-backed and kind of cage-like, with only a thin cushion, so they aren't exactly the most comfortable for a long meal. Started with a cocktail: the Remolacha del Corazón -- beet tequila, mezcal, watermelon (house-made syrup), lime and a tajín rim. You can hardly taste the mezcal, which I'm assuming is the point. I like mezcal so it would have been nice to taste it but the beet tequila is definitely the star, with the watermelon and lime adding a nice balance. Appetizer: Don't Worry, Brie Happy ($18). Brie, local honey, smoked grapes, toast. There was basically no local honey on my plate, but those smoked grapes?! They're topped with flaky salt while they're still hot and OMG!! The combination of warm, smoky, sweet and salty was fantastic. My only complaint was the amount of toast. There was a little too much toast for the amount of brie and grapes, so the ratios felt slightly off. Main course: Jamón With Your Bad Self ($45). Ibérico secreto pork steak, tonnato, shaved Brussels sprouts, salsa verde and almonds. I'm particular about pork, so I was taking a bit of a chance here, but this dish sounded too interesting to pass up. The pork steak was cooked perfectly and had some wonderfully crispy pieces around the edges. The tonnato underneath the pork was really good. It almost reminded me of a Caesar dressing and added this rich, savory element to the dish. The shaved Brussels sprouts were great, too, especially with the almonds and Parmesan. Everything worked really well together. Dessert: Olive Oil Cake. A house staple, and for good reason. A lovely way to end the meal. Overall, Nobie's has a really fun, unpretentious energy. Between the old-house setting, loud music and memorable dishes, it feels like somewhere you go to hang out as much as you go to eat. Just know what you're getting into with the volume and the seating -- this is not exactly a quiet, polished fine-dining experience, and that's kind of the charm.

    I was finally able to try this Houston staple last weekend!…read more Food: 4.5/5 - I loved the tomato toast and warm broth the best! The tomato toast was not overhyped and definitely worth getting. The bread is nice and oily yet still crusty and crunchy. The tomatoes and greens on top paired perfectly with the sourdough. - The warm broth doesn't seem like much from pictures and description but it was just so comforting and had nice umami. The green onions really bring out the rest of the flavors. - Ratatouille: this was one of our server's recommendations. I thought it was pretty good but slightly too sour/over-pickled for me. (I'm also not a big pickle person) - Butternut squash: This was probably the next best dish after the toast and broth. All the flavors and texture were there except the squash was a little hard. It could've been cooked a little longer to make it easier to cut through. I guess it is out of season, but still. - Squab aka pigeon: Also pretty good. The dried raspberries actually pair very well with it. Ambiance: 4/5 - The space is extremely small so you really need reservations. - It's so small that the tables are quite close together. But they were also not evenly spaced out so we tried to move our table away from the people next to us (we were practically touching!) and the staff insisted that we don't move them because they need to access the cutlery in the drawer on the side of the table?? First of all, they could've still accessed it after we moved the table. Second, if the space is that tiny, why not just store the utensils elsewhere? Very odd and didn't like that vibe.

    When you're stuck in town but want to feel like you're in a tropical destination, The Toasted…read moreCoconut is where you need to come. The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    Passed by this place multiple times and finally decided to stop in for drinks and appetizers…read more The ambience grabs your attention just walking into the restaurant they have string lights along the walkway and low amber lights as you go inside. They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.

    Social Beer Garden is a great spot with Beer flight options, pool tables in the upstairs area and…read morebig screen on outside patio to watch games etc. There is no food options unless there is food trucks. There is a parking lot available across the street with a sign saying "Social Beer Garden Parking" Good and fast service. There is also different fun events that they have on Fridays or weekends.

    Social Beer Garden just doesn't do it for me. I've been once or twice years ago and recently…read moredecided to give it another try, hoping for a different experience, but unfortunately I still left unimpressed. To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.
