    House Fried Rice no longer onions.
    Nikiba J.

    Here today! I'm back in town and looking to glut at my favorite hole in the wall food joints! While out and about, this American Deli was enroute so in keeping with the spirit of hood food I pulled right on in. As usual I ordered shrimp fried rice, 1 piece of catfish and combined all three punch flavors. Of course, to be politically correct as a food fatty I fill my cup with lemonade to quench my thirst and appreciate my people (hood folks) and wait on my order. This particular location is the original so it's outta date and a little messy, the ladies need to make it a priority to clean the dinning area at least hourly. As my order is ready, y'all know how hood people do, we get excessive condiments:)) I mix the 3 punches this round, gulp and refill. Dine and dash! Here today! There tomorrow!

    Shrimp Fried Rice and 10 Wing Combo

    I came from Atlanta, where wings are our signature dish. This is not the place you want to come to, to get wings. The rice definitely taste like it was frozen & the hot sauce for the wings taste like Louisiana hot sauce with LP sprinkles. I'm not a big fan. I asked for crispy wings. These look like they nearly got cooked long enough.

    Lean Steak Philly .. Lemon Pepper Wings & fries. Yes Lordt.

    This place tucked away in a little strip center ... I found out about it via yelp so I gave it a shot. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak sandwich & lemon pepper wings w French fries. OMGeeee it was soooooo delicious. I was pleasantly surprised because I usually hate trying new foods especially when I am starving. But I am glad I did. I would like to bring my mom back one day ... I'm sure she'll love it. Ask the staff was very friendly & the food was fresh. I believe it was made to order.

    Beef Philly Sandwich Combo

    Food is cooked right in front you! It's fresh and delicious! Be careful of fruit punch. It's sooo good. But taste like sugar on ice. Lol!!!!!! Love this place

    THE FISH RUBBERY AND HARD LIKE IT WAS REFRIED WITH NO TASTE AND THE WINGS ARE SMALL AS EVER PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

    do not order from this location the food is poor quality it's over cooked and very small and they do not do reviews

    Chicken Philly Steak with CHEWED GUM, fries, and wings!
    Denitra W.

    My husband tried this spot for the very first time and when he opened his food he was greeted by a white ball of chewed gum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was straight disgusting and nasty! If you see the food was untouched! I even tried calling them to let them know and the lady that answered said "Nobody there chews gum" I was soooooo HOT! I will never ever eat at this establishment ever again!

    Here's looking at you kid. POV of my food

    1.1 miSouth Park, Sunnyside

    I've lost count of how many times I've been here, so this review is long overdue…read more Yes, it's inside a gas station (Pitstop Express), but don't let that fool you. Some of the best food spots hide behind gas pumps, and this is one of those spots. The chicken stays consistent every single time. Finding good fried chicken in Houston is strangely harder than it should be, so I usually end up frying my own. But here? The chicken is seasoned, fried fresh to order, and just... good. Like, no gimmicks, just good chicken. Ordering is simple: place it at the counter, pay at the register, hand your ticket back, and then wait about 15 minutes for your food. And they've got fried okra, which always hits. The cooks keep the vibes up. It's all takeout; no seating so while you wait, browse the snack shelves. You'll probably spot something you haven't seen since childhood (depending on how far back your childhood goes). They also serve breakfast but Ive only had the chicken. This is definitely a go too when simple wing craving kicks in and I don't wanna cook.

    First let me say the chicken was amazing!!! However, they were out of all sides except tater tots…read morein which they didn't let me know until AFTER I paid for fries.

Just a note they close at 2:30 and reopen again at five for dinner service...some of the brunch items like the crab samosas and the oxtail empanadas are on both menus (dinner and brunch) The crab samosas are amazing. I wish I had more even at this moment. Everyone is always so welcoming and helpful here....Everyone but the rude ass valet drivers outside. I mentioned to my dining mate who arrived before me how rude the guys were.

We had a wonderful waiter and gave us a lot of recommendation. But the treatment kind of fell off towards the end when he was held up by a huge party for a good while to the point where we changed our mind about desserts and after dinner drinks and had to go. The cocktail "come and take it" was balance and flavorful. The crab samosa is a hit. It is crammed with crab stuffing. It is amazing and you get two different kind of dipping sauce with it, Tartar and butter. This was the first that any restaurant has ever done for us, but they actually split our soup in half for us so what's pictured is the half the soup. The duck pad Thai was amazing!!! I wish I had that instead. I had the Caribbean braised oxtail. I wasn't a big fan. I felt like I was tasting more of the sauce and carbs. I asked for the mango and spices on the side. The mango was a nice plate cleanser in between bites. The ambience was really nice , definitely upscale compared to their Travis's Carr location and something that you should dress up for. This is good for a nice formal celebration dinner or date dates. Or fancy Bestie night. There is complementary valet at the front. They have a sign that says do not park across the street.

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!

He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

Bottom line is that Milton's should be your go to place for just good old Italian fare but in an upscale but not stuffy atmosphere. Mark Sayre - the restaurant groups beverage director hosted the charity dinner for my wife and I and 4 other guests. We were served 9 courses family style including a couple of cold plates, a couple of salads, a couple of pastas and a couple of entrees along with a dessert. Everything was fantastic and Mark did a great job of hosting and explaining the wine pairings. The best of the apps was the Sicilian Tar tar. Tuna, scallop and salmon perfectly marinated on crostinis. The Hearts of Palm Salad was excellent, and they are definitely sharable, probably made for 3 - 4 guests to share. Of the two pastas the Cresta De Gallo stood out the most, but the Bolognese was also virtually perfect. Of the two entrees we enjoyed the Chicken Piccata slightly more than the Hanger Steak. On our second visit, Ryan was our server. He had been our server at Underbelly, One Fifth and Georgia James in the past and remembered us immediately and was a wonderful host for the meal. This time the table enjoyed the Chargrilled Oysters and the Parsley Salad to start. We also sampled 4 pastas - The Cresta De Gallo again, the Chitarra with Scallops and Uni, the Lumache with Vodka Sauce and the Sourdough Tagliatelle. All were fantastic. My personal favorite was the Chitarra. In the end we finished off all 4 so no leftovers. We then shared the Chicken Piccata as our only entree. This dish is so good. Juicy Chicken, flavorful sauce, and the Sourdough Tagliatelle was the perfect accompaniment. We also enjoyed two desserts - The Budino (which is more like a chocolate tort than a pudding) and the Tiramisu. Both wonderful. If Milton's wasn't over an hour from our house, it would become a regular on the rotation. But it is definitely good enough to warrant many return visits.
