    Turkey club
    Lauren M.

    Decided to come here with coworkers for lunch after passing it everyday on my daily walk in the tunnels. It always looks packed so I felt it must be decent! And I was right. This place is really good. I love how nice it is decorated and the chairs are padded. The service is really good too. I really appreciated the full service for being downtown and in the tunnels. I had the turkey club which was really big and delicious with sweet potato fries. I think it was around $15 for this plate and I had the leftovers for lunch the next day. I'll be back!

    One of the best nice casual full service spots downtown. In the tunnel but has natural light, full bar, pleasant ambiance and really good food for breakfast and lunch. So glad Adair opened a downtown location. I go regularly for lunch and typically easy seating or a tiny wait. Service is always professional and on point. Very efficient but not rushed. Today I took two guests and everyone had my usual, fish tacos. They are great! You choose your own side and I love either the sweet potato fries or asparagus. Love the artichoke soup and power bowl too. Also a fan of their ice tea.

    A group of coworkers and I are very new to downtown working. Downside - commute, upside - shiiiit all these restaurants! We were walking around the tunnels and happened upon Adair. It's in the Wells Fargo Plaza tunnel and is a cute sit down spot. It also has a quick to go section if you're on the move. I decided to go with the Blackened Shrimp & Goat Cheese Salad. I really enjoyed the meal, it was light and since carbs don't work well for me, walking back to my tunnel wasn't a chore. The only thing I didn't like was the salad came dressed. I'd request on the side if I get their salads again. They also offer bottled 20 oz for soft drinks...I wasn't expecting the 3.50/4 price tag but I guess girl! My coworkers ordered fish tacos and Prime Rib French Dip and had no complaints. The service was spectacular. Hispanic gentleman, I wanna say he said his name was Mike but I've been eating out so damn much, I might be wrong. He was funny, super helpful and friendly and when I told him I'm a foodie, we all started discussing good seafood and bbq restaurants in the city to try. Now I was trying to take my whole team back and couldn't find a way to reserve a table. Idk if you can through phone but when we got there, everybody and their mama and mama's mama was trying to eat. It was a rainy day with packed tunnels. Restaurant is rather small so party of 6 was estimated over 30 min wait. Lesson learned...

    I was in town for the work week. My coworker suggested this place for efficient and good service as well as healthy food which is in short supply in work catered events. I started with a bowl of lemon artichoke soup. It was delicious with a light lemon flavor. Then I had the blackened goat cheese salad. It was delicious with pink in seeds and a light dressing. I highly recommend this place! The server was friendly and service was great! Window design makes for natural light.

    Went here on a corporate lunch with my team, as it's located in the middle of downtown. The ambiance gives french cafe vibes and there is a Adair cafe located right outside for a quick drink to-go. The food here is always super fresh and the food is one of the top options in downtown. The fries have a nice crunch, and the burger is moist paired with the buns. The service is questionable to say the least. They need to hire more employees to keep up with the lunch rush. Our whole team had empty glasses that needed to be refilled (which were never refilled). Additionally, it took quite a while for us to even place our order. Overall, Adair is a solid 4.5/5 and would visit more frequently if the service was better.

    Located underground beneath the Wells Fargo/PWC tower. It looks like a solid power lunch spot with a modern and clean interior that is located in a pretty good spot; downtown wise. We've come by for drinks and for breakfast; Pros: convenient tunnel access, modern interior Cons: Food is pretty average/ non extraordinary, service is very slow. Overall, there are much better and much less desirable breakfast spots. It's convenient in terms of tunnel access but I wouldn't recommend it for the food alone. Coming by with a group for a drinks would be the ideal spot.

    Lemon ice box pie.  Yum!
    Patti P.

    We decided to go in the downtown tunnels on Friday afternoon, and not get lost.. lol. So we entered the tunnels at the Wells Fargo building. After wandering around awhile, we decided to have a snack at Adair Kitchen. We sat at the bar, and all ordered the lemon ice box pie. I also ordered a lemon drop martini, which competed with my lemon dessert. Both were very good, and we enjoyed talking to people who work there, a very nice Russian lady and a German lady: The restaurant is very clean and attractive. Give it a try.. they're not only in the tunnel; they have other locations.

In the past they would bring out a bread basket, as a free appetizer like how some mexican restaurants bring out chips and salsa, however, they dont seem to do that here anymore. Service at the table was mediocre, our waitress took our drink order and on the way over, the waitress was spilling the drinks over the floor on the way to our table. After our waitress took our order, my gf did not get the mayo on the side as she had asked, and after we received our food, our waitress never came around to check on us, didn't refill our drinks or anything. The place was very loud, louder than visiting waffle house. I was trying to have a conversation with my gf sitting just across the table from one another, and we were having to literally yell at one another just to hear what each other were saying. My gf did state that the sandwich she ordered was a big sandwich, and was more than she could finish. Once we were ready to go, our waitress still hadn't been around to check on us. So I had to flag down someone else, to get us some to go boxes, and our check. Low and behold, when I was ready to checkout, the waitress appears out of nowhere, after all this time, I'm guessing because she thought she was going to get a good tip. I'm sorry, waitstaff only get a great tip from me, once and if they perform a great job duty, and this was not the case in this matter. Maybe, better luck next time, maybe Papas needs to hire better waitstaff worth hiring and keeping.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
