I visited here during my search for healthy eateries in the Woodlands area. Some reviewers say the…read moregrinder was really good but after looking at the menu, I had my heart set on the steak sandwich. I figure any steak sandwich under $15 is a good deal these days. There are 2 kiosks for ordering, but also a manned register. The food did take a while to come out but after the first bite I knew I made the right selection. It's sliced just right so that it's easy to chew, tasted like a steak, and it was indeed a healthy meal. I enjoyed everything about the sandwich, even got a few bites of some apples when eating the 2nd half of the sandwich which was a nice surprise/addition. Here, unlike another healthy fast casual place in town, I did like the available tea selection. I also ordered a cookie for dessert and it turned to be really tasty as well. My dining partner ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl with rice and roasted veggies and really enjoyed that as well.

I wanted to get breakfast for my wife before dashing off to an early appointment and the Chop Shop…read moreopens at 7am. I was pleased with the welcoming reception of the young man that took my order and the decor bright and uplifting. You can create custom breakfast bowls, but this was outside my comfort zone ... I ordered the Cheat Wrap. The wait was long enough that I suspect that the bacon was fried to order. Overall the experience was good. I will await my wife's verdict on quality and taste. ...the verdict is in! My wife enjoy her "high-end breakfast sandwich".

Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made a lasting impression. As someone who can be a bit particular about my food, I greatly appreciated how they went above and beyond to ensure I had the best possible experience. Although I was still enjoying my meal, they noticed my concerns, immediately addressed them, and graciously prepared a fresh plate for me without hesitation. That level of customer service is rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about their guests. I highly recommend the Fire Hummus if you enjoy a little heat--it was absolutely delicious. Thank you for providing such an incredible dining experience. We will definitely be back again soon!

Horrible service and below average food. I walked in for Saturday afternoon lunch and quickly…read morerealized the cafeteria style order and pickup food setup so decided to take out. After waiting at the counter for 7-10 mins I walked in and politely asked what the protocol was to order food only to get yelled at - "yes we see you, we are busy and someone will be with you shortly". While they promptly (read as another 4-5 mins) came over and took my order, there was very little interest they had in their jobs. Now the food - dry kebabs, lacking seasoning and sides that were not worthy of the carbs.

Had an enjoyable lunch - Roberto showed us to the table and recommended the current special - Baja…read moreFish Tacos. It was the best I've had in a while. The cod fish was fresh, lightly breaded and done just right - chunky with a nice level of flakiness. In the case of these fish tacos, I'd let the pictures do the talking. The avocado tacos were made fresh. Black beans and pickled vegetables went well with this star of a dish. The hummus - jalapeno and crabcakes were mediocre. Roberto and the waitress gave excellent service. Water for refill was provided in a milk bottle which was great. Afterall, we are in this hot heat of summer. Requested seating in a booth and got seated at a booth by the windows. Leg space felt better at the booths by the windows than those by the bar. Roberto recommended other dishes I may like to try next time - cauliflower crusted pizza, local kebab, burgers etc. Glad to have discovered this restaurant that was hidden in the woods. It was also associated with owners of Hungrys whom I have patronized in years gone by at their Dairy Ashford and Rice locations.

We intended to go to Charm Thai over the weekend and parked at Local Table by mistake. We returned…read moretoday to correct the error. The outdoor patio looked pleasant. We did not sit there because it was hot. We sat indoors. It was just me and my child. Our waitress did not mention that kids (12 and under) eat free all day Mondays (and 10 am - 12 noon on weekends). I learned this from reading Google reviews after we had already ordered. After I asked, she confirmed the promotion and allowed us to add a kids meal since we had already ordered an adult entrée, which is the required condition. We ordered a kids' pizza. You can pepperoni for $1 but it's a free add on Mondays. Not gonna lie, pizza tasted off. Kid said it and I ignored her. Then I tried it and ack. We brought the rest home and stuck it in the fridge but it tasted even worse the next day. Tossed in trash. Service required frequent prompting. Like pulling teeth. I had to ask about the drink included with the kids meal. And yes Milk is an option. I also had to ask about the cookie that is supposed to come with the meal. We did not receive one. She said they had chocolate chip only as oatmeal and sugar cookies were gone. I said fine. We never got anything. So I went to the take out stand and we were told they were out of cookies. But they offered us a small brownie instead. Unfortunately however it contained nuts. For an appetizer, we ordered the cast iron spinach artichoke dip. The chip‑to‑dip ratio was not balanced. We ran out of chips way before the dip was gone. We also ordered the cast iron skirt steak (yes lots of cast irons). I requested medium rare. It arrived medium well and slightly tough however. You'd think they could easily tell this since they slice it all up before serving. It was not seasoned, but presumably that is because it is intended to be used with the chimichurri sauce provided. No salt on the tables. Overall, the experience and the food were marginal and borderline acceptable, but definitely unremarkable. Service is another story however. She was nice, just not very good at her craft.

Super clean. Extremely clean. Can't get any cleaner. He disinfected the table shortly after each…read morecustomer left. He even moved the chairs to sweep under table after each customer! You will not be able to find a piece of lint on the floor. Also very friendly and shared a ton of interesting stories! I remembered maybe 10ish years ago acai bowls were in trend. Then it faded? I never tried it while it was in trend because I was a college student and it was one of those moments where you decide to spend $12 on a protein/carb/veggie meal or on an acai bowl that will hopefully keep you full until your next meal. Fast forward and I'm still not in my career yet lol. Making residency salary and having this is moreso as a treat. It's sort of a healthier way to look at dessert? Thicker than a smoothie. Not sweet like Gelato. Can alter it to have higher protein or sweetier depending on what you choose. There are a lot of options and fiber rich. The presentation is pretty. I do think you have to be in the mood for this. My friend loves acai bowls. Me? It's not something I would crave but I'll be down to have it again if my friend wanted it.

Why 5 stars? Because I'm so glad I came here…read more --- --- --- 6-7 years ago, Acai bowls really had their day. There were shops popping up on every corner, and while I always loved acai bowls, they were pretty much the same no matter where you went. And after leaning pretty hard into this trend for a while, I reached acai over-saturation. Fast forward to recent times and I was excited to check out Nautical Bowls when it opened. The menu looked pretty unique, and it had been quite a while since my last bowl. Each weekend would come and go and I would still manage to not stop in. Today, I was sitting on the couch about to doze off. I had two choices: give into the nap Gods, and probably set myself up for a poor night of sleep ahead, or get up and finally make that trip to Nautical Bowls. I chose the latter, and as I mentioned above, I'm so glad I did. I walked in and stared at the menu for an awkwardly long time. Each item looked appealing and it seemed like they were all only 1-2 ingredients different from the last. I considered even building my own, but that thought was fleeting. Let's just roll with one of the chosen items. There's always a future visit where we can get crazy with something custom. So I went with the Blue Bay Bowl: Blue Majik, Açaí, Coconut, Spirulina Chia, Granola, Banana, Strawberries, Coconut Butter Crumbles. I asked what Blue Majik and Spirulina were: I was told both had a coconut cream flavor. I was also told Spirulina was an algae. That almost swayed me away, but I didn't want to be a basic b. Algae, you say? I aint scared. It turns out, this bowl met every single aspect of the fantasy I had in my head when I was debating between taking a nap and coming here. It was amazing. Every bite. It definitely was not your grandmother's acai bowl, either. There was a lot going on and I loved every aspect of it. And as promised, there was no shortage of coconut cream. I will absolutely be back because I want to try pretty much everything on the menu. Welcome to the 'hood, Nautical Bowls!

I've always wanted to visit the velvet taco. We stopped here for a quick bite to eat for dinner. I…read moredidn't realize they have a drive-through. We ordered tacos, one of their signature bowls, a kids quesadilla, and tater tots. I also tried the Watermelon Basil Margarita which was very refreshing! There's a large menu displayed on the wall for customers to view before ordering. My husband ordered three tacos - bunt ends, slow roasted brisket, and chicken. I tried the burnt ends, it was delicious . I only wish the tacos were on a corn tortilla instead of flour. The Mexi-Cali Shrimp Bowl was delicious...btw it's gluten Came with salsa, guacamole, shrimp, cilantro, micro greens over a bit of rice. I wish it was more of a salad instead of a rice bowl. But nonetheless, the flavors were 10/10. Plenty of shrimp, and I was full. My kids have a limited pallet, they took a few bites of the cheese, quesadilla and eyeball the tater tots for about 15 minutes then finally ate a few. I would definitely return here again. We definitely enjoyed our meal.

Food is hot and have a plethora of options to choose from. Buffalo Chicken is top tier and the French dip is a close second. Also featured is the Tikka Marsala and the Beef Chimichuri. Thought the beef Chimi was mid. Elote was solid but go with the chips and queso.
