I've been coming here for years, and it's amazing how quickly a new owner can undo what made a place successful. The menu has been gutted and now seems to revolve almost entirely around steaks. Paying $24.95 for a mediocre steak with what appeared to be store-bought au gratin potatoes felt more like a bad joke than a dining experience. If the goal was to cut costs and call it a new concept, mission accomplished. Sad to see a longtime favorite lose its identity. I won't be rushing back. read more

Great massive outdoor space!!! Great place to plan a celebration or large group gathering! Loved it as I attended a party about a month ago! DJ was rocking and the crowd was awesome! read more

Attended the Fam Jam block party and the vibes were immaculate! The venue is spacious, with multiple bars and a mini food truck park. Both Around the Corner and its neighbor building- Leeland House were utilized for its space and were great spaces to grab a break from the Texas heat. I was unfamiliar with this area prior to this weekend and would check them out during a regular business day. My only point doc was the drink pricing at Around The Corner. Not sure if it was due to the nature of the event, but adding gratuity on to single bar tabs is ridiculous. My boyfriend paid almost $40 for two shots, myself paying $52 for two drinks. I get wanting to make money but it's not a good way to retain customers. I'll opt for drinking elsewhere. read more

I didn't get to eat food but I heard they have an amazing brunch, great steak night, and delicious wings. The service was great. The bartender he was very kind and personable. The ambiance was nice as the xl patio is an option or inside depending on your preference. While visiting Houston I went twice during my time simply because the music was a great vibe and the service was consistent. Parking in front of the venue. read more

This place is massive. Two buildings, two patios and a huge outdoor space in the middle of it all. The set up and decor is fun and inviting. Also surprisingly for how busy it was the service was very quick. And most importantly the food was delicious! Would love to come back and try more of the menu too bad i only got to try the shrimp and grits and the honey chicken biscuit. read more

I came here with a few friends on Saturday brunch. There was a DJ on the patio and the outside area has shades and fans. The food I ordered was Shrimp and Grits. It was good, however, I feel it needed some more spicy/salty flavor to balance out the sweet sauce. The brisket hash was delicious and a good size for one person. I did notice some grease from the fried potatoes in there. The mimosas were worth the price for $15 a carafe. They came out with the mimosa as soon as we ordered. Overall, I would come back here again, and probably try the different brunch menu options. I also did see online their menu is different for dinner. read more

We stumbled upon this place through Google. We thought, why not check out a place that served HH drinks on a Friday. There aren't too many places that serve HH (happy hour) services on a Friday, so we were delighted. It is a quaint place that looks like a house just like the Leeland and are both separate businesses but share the same kitchen. We were pleasantly surprised by the drinks and the tacos. We had stopped by after our walk around downtown and after checking out the local graffiti art wall in EaDo. We also noticed their special for Thursday nights. I may just have to plan to arrive a day earlier just to check them out again! Oh, and we got to watch the Dodgers game while enjoying a drink. (10/18/2024) read more

Terrible service. Our waitress Amour wasn't attentive at all. Came here for a friend's birthday brunch. We were here for about two and a half hours or so she never checked up on us. Dropped off waters, took our drink order, and checked us out. Didn't come to check on us while waiting for the food. Once the food came out my plate wasn't what I order, after telling the food runner it wasn't what I order she came back and practically insisted that they will remake it to what I originally had order. I said no because we had already been waiting over 45 minutes for our food didn't feel like waiting another 45 minutes for a plate. Not once did she apologize for the delay even though as a server myself knowing it wasn't her fault, an apology goes a long way. read more

This was my first stop back home right off of the plane! My date and I both had the shrimp and grits. He had a side of chicken sausage that was decent. The lightly scrambled eggs were so good (idk it's the simple things about life). Finally the shrimp and grits were perfect. The grits were smooth, the cheese added even more richness but it wasn't overpowering. It looks as good as it tastes! I had a Perrier to drink to break down the cheese for my begrudged cheese lovers but it wasn't harsh on our stomachs at all. The ladies that worked inside were very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. There was a pretty good crowd in there nevertheless our service was fast. It gives sweet, quaint and country. read more

Vibe- Literally the same chill vibe with great music as Leeland House that is literally right next door and I found out they're owned by the same person so go figure! There's plenty of seating options outside and inside. You find your seat and then order at the bar. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a beach please cocktail to drink and a chicken sandwich without the chicken and extra onions to make it vegetarian; they were both good. Parking- There's parking right in front of the building and if you get there right when they open you'll probably get one, but if not there's street parking. read more

So much to add here, first of all the bartenders were very generous and kind! They let us have drinks that were made! Which were very good! I came here to meet a friend and we loved it! The atmosphere the vibes were on point! Definitely coming back after a hard days work! If you're looking to unwind and relax this is the spot! Love love! Thanks guys! read more

I came for the $25 steak thursday and got a $10 rhubarb cocktail. I asked for the steak medium and it was more well done so it felt really chewy. The cut also wasn't great but I guess that's what you get when you pay $25. But honestly I'd much rather get a good tasty meal for $25 rather than chewy meat that isn't even seasoned well. The cocktail was pretty tasty - more on the sweeter/syrupier side but it's fine. read more

Great Thursday Night spot!!!!! Decided to stop by around 5pm for the Thursday steak night. It is definitely a cute spot with a mature crowd and a good date night spot. This bar is located in the East Downtown area. It's an inside and outside bar with a great vibe. The crowd was mixed and the music was good variety. I tried the steak and it was good but the potatoes were not fully cooked. I took a bite and the potatoe was hard. I ordered a lavender lemonade which was strong and a Lemon Drop. That grilled pineapple is a must ordered. Very decorative for the holiday season. The service was great. The bartenders were attentive and made sure I kept drinking. The parking is in a neighborhood so it's limited so get there early. Give this spot a try. read more

Commenting on a late Friday night ambiance. Loving the large patio space they have, especially during this cold season! They provide heaters so no worries about staying toasty! Order at the bar from outside or inside. Nice layout to keep the orders convenient. Cocktail or beers, they have it ! On a less busy day, we were able to have a prime service with delicious cocktails! Bonus points: they have their own kitchen with a nice menu from shareables like wings and queso to a fuller meal, like tacos or mac and cheese ! This time, it covered our wish to have it all in one place. Drink, snack, outdoors, warm, chill ambiance, TV to entertain. Really nice chill spot ! I'll be back :) read more

The food was so so good !!! I ordered the honey chicken biscuit, and it was so yummy. However, there were several other options that really appealed! Coffee is self serve, and you go up to the bar to order. The vibe is cool, it's set in an old house and there's a nice little patio, too. Music was a little loud once the DJ at Leeland House started. Staff was sweet and food came out really fast! Dogs are definitely allowed (always a plus) and there is parking on the street or paid in the lot. read more

Stopped by with my friend for dinner before the Lizzo concert. The service was great. There was a new guy there that was super sweet and got our order just right. Not too busy on a Wed evening but a great vibe. $2 off cocktails and I believe the sharables are also 1/2 off. I forget when HH starts but it ends at 8 or 10. Tasty crispy cauliflower. So happy my friend shared with me. Bbq Bacon Burger was cooked perfectly, bacon was crispy and they put the bbq sauce on the side as I asked. Also made my fries truffle per my request and they were delicious . Nice and crispy shoestring fries and garlicky with delicious chunks of Parmesan. The Cinful cocktail was very good. Tasted a little carbonated which I liked. The flavor combo of the concoction was a great mix. My friend loved her Down South. Said it tingled the sides of her mouth but in a good way. (Hahaha, do you see what I inadvertently just did there? ;) ) The timing of the food and drinks coming out from the point we ordered was reasonably quick which was appreciated since we had a concert to get to. Ive had brunch at Leeland House and just had a work event at The Grove last week. Both were quality experiences so I knew Around the Corner wouldn't let me down. Order at the bar. My friend and I could not figure out how to order from the QR codes on the table although that is what we were advised. The QR codes only show you the menu and don't have an ordering option. read more

Went here on a Monday for steak night. The vibes were easy going and casual. Seems like a nice place to chill after a long day of work. The special was a steak - ribeye or filet with two side, we got one of each. As well as a bottle of red wine - since it was on the specials as well. The steak was actually really good and I was pleasantly surprised. I will circle back around again if I am ever in the area to try the other stuff on the menu. read more

This place is fun! It draws a very large crowd during brunch hours. It's sort of confusing because Leeland House and Around the Corner have different names and buildings, but are sister restaurants right next to eachother. You get the same menu at both. Limited indoor deating but ample outdoor tables. The food was very tasty and the bloody mary's were too. You place your order at a counter and bring everything to you. read more

Steak night has been epic for years. Ribeye, salad and scalloped potatoes. Used to rival (seriously) steaks elsewhere because the man on the pit is superb. Guess what they did today? Swap out scalloped potatoes for mushy fake mashed potatoes. I've been coming to steak night here for YEARS and have hyped it up so many others, friends and strangers, try it. Learning the owners changed is heartbreaking, meaning maybe the quality will change too. They already changed the Shrimp and grits from smoked Gouda to Feta and it's nowhere near the flavor and goodness of the original. read more

A whole vibe on Thursday! To say it was a hot day we had a good breeze outside with the fans going. The flies are annoying but hey that comes with eating outside.

The BEST place for mimosa carafes with friends!! Only $15 compared to other restaurants charging upwards of $25-28 for a single carafe and can be split between 4-5 people. Brunch/Sunday Funday doesn't have to break the bank! The food here is delicious too. Truffle Parmesan fries? Awesome. Flatbread pizzas? Terrific. Burgers? Amazing. And the music they're playing is always a vibe. My friends and I EASILY spend 2+ hours here on the weekends. Definitely check it out! read more

Around The Corner is located in wast Downtown. Met someone here for happy hour - went in around 4:30 pm soI didn't have a hard time looking for parking. They have a few private spots in their lot, otherwise, you'll have to park on the street. Service wasn't really great, I would say. Pretty much, there's a QR code you need to scan to browse the happy hour menu, although they also had a print out menu for a much extensive list. You order drinks and food at the counter, you wait for your drinks and the food will be served to you. The place is casual so expect no booths. It's really a neighborhood bar. Ordered a margarita and egg rolls and it was okay. Initially, we were going to sit at the bar but because of a lot of flying nats and mosquitoes, I opted for a table - which is quite the same. The nats were still flying around and it just ruined my experience. Also good things that we had an OFF insect spray in the car to help kinda avoid them. Only was there for a quick hour. read more

The food is delicious. Inside and outside dining is great! but staff is far from pleasant.

Second time coming here and the second time I've had such a great experience. My husband and I treated our daughter to brunch this past Sunday and it was another excellent meal. My daughter and I both had the smoked brisket hash. Best thing I've had so far on their brunch menu. My husband had the honey chicken biscuit and loved bite. You order at the bar and they bring it out to you. The wait is never long if at all. The staff is superb and I can't wait to go back!! read more

There isn't much parking out front. However, you're able to park on the dirt across the street. Inside it has dim lighting all day long. It's nice during dinner but it's a little too dark for my preference. The inside has a nice rustic feel. There is a front and back patio which was perfect for today. When you arrive you walk straight to the bartender station and order. I ordered a watermelon crawl. I was a little disappointed because it tasted like tequila and water, I was hoping for a more watermelon kick. My boyfriend ordered an old fashion and he loved it. We also ordered a board, the cheeses were FANTASTIC as well as the jelly. The only thing I wasn't too thrilled about was the ham, it looked and tasted like sandwich meat. read more

Located right next to leeland house.. I go there for brunch and Around the Corner for dinner! This place has inside seating, front patio seating, and more seating behind the restaurant! Bar and regular seating is inside. Dog friendly for the outside! This place is more of a bar.. serving small plates, drinks, and finger foods. Steak night is on Tuesdays and let me tell you, the steak is pretty delicious for a bar serving it. Also, try the cheese platter. Everything about it is good. The amount of stuff they put on the platter is worth the 17 bucks. Happy hour is usually from 4-7. Will be back! read more
