Finally got a chance to try out Bellagreen. There were 3 of us so we were able to check out a few things on the menu like the shrimp and crab pasta, salmon tacos (paleo friendly), shrimp tacos, and the sweet potato fries. Followed by the key lime pie and the white chocolate bread pudding. The pasta was refreshing and tasted really good. The portion size was pretty good. What I enjoyed most was that each dish had a little flare. For example, the pasta had corn in it which was a pleasant surprise and texture wise went surprisingly well with the dish as a whole. The shrimp tacos looked phenomenal and were freshly made. The salmon tacos had like an egg shell so we were a little on the fence. My friend loved them though. The sweet potato fries are one of the things they are known for and I although I am not a huge fan of sweet potato fries in general they were pretty good. I wasn't a big fan of the key lime pie either. It had this like soft oatmeal kind of crust with coconut in it. And topped with strawberries. It was just a lot of flavors and textures that didn't mesh well. The crème brulee however was to die for. 10/10 amazing. It was huge and definitely shareable but I could see myself eating one all alone it was so good. Check out the photos. read more

First time in Houston so first time here. The food was fresh and delicious and employees were very hospitable.

Order at counter, get a buzzer, find a table inside or outside and wait for your food. Food is pretty good, salads are my favorite. Tacos not so great. Pizza and pasta are ok. Desserts are good. Good service clean restaurant and bathrooms. read more

Great central location in CityCentre and has a nice outdoor seating area. Food was pretty good. Vibe seemed great for friends to meet up and service was good. Food: I got the specialty Brick Chicken and seasonal Lemon Poppyseed Cheesecake. The chicken was a half chicken with a crispy (little salty) skin. Tasted great and definitely enough to take home for non-big eaters. The sweet mashed potatoes tasted yummy, but looked like it could be plated a little more appetizingly. The cheesecake was interestingly tasty. The house-made whipped cream was delicious, but also enveloped the cheesecake. Strawberries definitely brought a fresh taste to the dessert. I would've gotten a beer if there was any on tap, unfortunately it's all bottled. I'd definitely recommend this place to people who live in Houston for a place to check out, but it wouldn't be a high priority place for people just passing through. read more

Bellagreen has indoor and outdoor seating next to a small park in City Center. I must say, I am not a fan of standing in line to order and then having my food brought to me for a place of this level. I ordered the Brick Chicken which came with vegetables. The seasoning on the chicken was excellent but the chicken itself a bit rubbery. The vegetables were grilled and very good. Many people were ordering the pizzas and the fish tacos, which may have been a better choice. With trendy decor and food that was excellently plated, I think I will give them another try and hopefully add a star when I update my review. read more

I was in the area and decided to visit bellagreen after I had heard so much about it from my friends. I had just enough time to park my car for 30 min, and eat lunch so I was expecting this to be a quick lunch. Under these circumstances bellagreen was on the ball. I got in the line to order and it took about 7-8 min till they got to me. I ordered the buffalo burger with sweet potato fries grabbed a spot in their spacious dining area which overlooks the tiny park. The ambience was great, even for lunch, it was warm and casual enough to take your mind off things and relax for a bit . The food took about 10-12 min to arrive so giving me the exact time I needed to eat and walk back. The burger was perfect, I had asked for a medium well, the seasoning was on point, the bread was light and it was just right . I think I need to visit here again a few times to experience their food . read more

I ordered the Seared Salmon & Harvest Hash off the seasonal menu. I paid $21.10 for it, so I was disappointed to see how little of the "harvest hash" they gave me for the cost. I was so excited about the butternut squash, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, quinoa, and microgreens, but they only gave me about two bites of each. There was a good amount of salmon, but the proportions were way off. Certainly not worth the cost. If you're someone who needs a big meal, you'll still be very hungry after this one! If you're ordering it for the veggies (like me), be forewarned that it's basically just a hunk of salmon. I typically like Bellagreen, so I suggested that a friend and I go here (she had never eaten here). It was an embarrassing situation for me since we each spent so much for so little. That said, the dish was DELICIOUS. I just can't recommend it for the reasons above. read more

I eat at Bellagreen at least twice a week, I've tried almost every dish, and I've loved all of them! Amazing customer service, great quality food, clean and nice atmosphere, the desserts are big enough to share. The have plenty of healthy options, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian. They're across the big green area in CityCentre, so if you have kids you can sit outside and watch them play while you sip on wine or beer, recommend it 100% read more

So I'm the dork who always brought her lunch from home during middle to high school. Heck, even during my college years - me and my brown sack. Because I'm economical (read: cheap) and sometimes it can be a pain in the arse to track down some decent vegan substenance. I recently found myself at a day-long prep course in the Town and Country area, without my usual sack lunch. Yes, sad but true, but I had forgotten to bring my pathetic collection of leftovers. So I decided to go ahead and forage for some lunch in the big bad shopping center/mall. A quick walk yielded nothing particularly appealing to me so I did remember Ruggles Green having one or two vegan-friendly things I could order. This was right before New Year's - so the holidays consumerism hadn't yet began its steady decrease - but holy geeze was this place crowded. AND LOUD. I was all kinds of shocked, but that "green" schtick is pretty effective marketing after all. Anyway, only TWO default vegan options on the menu. The hummus appetizer and the minestrone soup. If you're a vegetarian - you win, there's a burger, pizza, and possibly a couple of other things? I decided to try the soup because I happen to love minestrone soup. I placed my order, waited an eternity - which I didn't mind too much. I just noted that they dispense their orders as they are placed and not based on ease of fulfilling the order - because the soup is pre-made and situated right by the cashiers so it's scooped by them or stray kitchen staff and servers. The stuff was ridiculously piping hot - which I was quite pleased with. However, that's all that was redeeming about it. Okay, so it was obviously freshly prepared that day - consisting of very sparse smattering of mushrooms and veggies, chunky quinoa macaroni pasta. The broth was terrible! It was clear runny - like stuff without any real flavor. I get that this is supposed to be gluten-free and "healthy," but this minestrone soup was really quite awful and not fit to be termed "minestrone." It was more like "hey let's throw a very meager amount of vegetables into a pot with our macaroni and pawn it off as soup!" Which okay, you got me, that is pretty much what soup is, ha ha. I ate it all anyway, but probably one of the most disappointing restaurant soups I've ever had. No more Ruggles Green for me. No thank you! read more

It was so busy and so we thought for sure we didn't give a table at this wonderful kids friendly space on a hot, but beautiful day after weeks of on and off rain. No problem finding a spot, no problem finding something everyone likes. They had pizza, burgers and wings that everyone loved. You have to park in the parking garage and walk over, but there are lots of things to see and do in the area so it makes it worth the garage fee. read more

This place gets packed!!! Esp on weekends since it's in the middle of city center. Food is always good but I've noticed the price going up past couple years. We always try to get a table outside but there's always dirty dishes since the cleaners can't keep up with how busy it gets. Overall good place to come eat. read more

I used to go here ALL the time and another visit back has been long overdue. Partly because it's killing my wallet, but for a good cause. Healthy food is not cheap, y'all! Ruggles Green has many healthy options ranging from vegetarian, gluten free, all-natural products, and they're all delicious. This time my boyfriend got the All Natural Buffalo Burger with fries and I got the Spicy Fish Tacos. We came around 1PM on a Sunday so it was expected that the wait would be long for our food to come out. The tacos were good, but hard to eat since everything just fell apart. It was also really wet as well from the cole slaw. But it's okay since it was good! We didn't get to get the bread puddling this time since I'm watching my calories :( but I have a feeling we'll be back again many more times this year' read more

Food is cool but please, Bella, clean the inside and outside area of the bathroom. A clean bathroom makes a difference.

Desserts: The white chocolate bread pudding and Charlotte's Web - especially the latter - are hefty guilty pleasures. Mains (mostly per my previous review): - The white pizza with bacon is delicious and is another repeat entree. - Goat cheese salad - Grilled vegetable salad, light on the oil - Hummus, but in oven-baked pita bread. Easily the best dining option at City Centre. That's not saying a whole lot but hey. read more

Been here twice already. The establishment is very nice and in a good growing area. The first visit was for dinner so to say but was not very impressed with the flavors of the turkey burger. Didn't take the picture of the pasta we also order but also lacked lots of flavor. Today we went for brunch and was very much impressed and happier with the food. The chicken and waffles were very good. And great texture. The avocado omelette wasn't for me but was told had very good flavor also. The staff were very nice on both visits. The first visit they were nice but didn't make rounds with checking on guests. The second visit the staff made their rounds and asked if everything was good. The place was very clean and they all practice social distancing and had gloves, sanitizer, and mask present for employees and guest. I would recommend that everyone tries this place. read more

Location: Located in city centre. You would have to park in the garage and then walk to the restaurant. It's across from Reg Mango and the fountain. The place was really crowded when I came for lunch on a Tuesday. It's a suitable place to have lunch, brunch, or a cute date. It's a self-served restaurant. Did not expect that but I guess that's good since you can just go get everything yourself without waiting for the waiter. Service: You order first and they give you a buzzer and a cup. Then you can take it to your table. They have tables outside and Ruggles is right in front of the fountain so it's a nice view. Make sure to grab napkins and silverware after you ordered. They have all kinds of sauce from ketchup, mustard, salsas, etc. They have plenty so you can just grab a bottle and take it to your table. They also have beverages from sodas, water, and tea that you can choose from. No limits on the refill since you do it yourself. Since the weather was nice, we ate outside. Fortunately, no birds poop on us. However, after a while, the sun started to show and since we were not sitting under the canopy, it was burning hot. Food: I didn't know what to order so I went on Yelp to check out what's good. Everyone said the buffalo burger was good and since I was in the mood for a burger, why not. The food came out pretty fast. I ordered a medium rare buffalo burger with Swiss cheese and sweet potato fries came with it. My friend ordered fish tacos. Both were large portions and delicious. My burger was juicy and cooked just right. It had all sorts of veggies. The sweet potato fries were really good. You can also choose regular fries if you want but I would recommend the sweet potato fries. My friend's fish tacos were also delicious and what I love about it was the spiciness and the veggies were crunchy. We were both stuffed afterwards. The prices were affordable and worth the quantity and the quality of the food. Can't say much for the service since it's self-served. The only thing the waiter did was bring the food. So I did not know if I should tip or not since if you paid with card then you can give a tip but that's difficult since I didn't even get any service yet. Overall, I would definitely return. The food was healthy and delicious. In addition, I like the atmosphere of Ruggles. It can be casual or casual fancy. Can't believe I never try Ruggles, my friends said it's one of their favorite places to eat. Next time I'll try out their Sugarland location and also the rest of their menu and some of the desserts too! read more

*This review is for the White Chocolate Bread Pudding ONLY* Came on a Sunday evening with my mom on a recommendation of a few family members. Located in the heart of City Centre next to a nice area where kids can run around while families hang out. Line was short, service was quick, and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the non-rainy weather of Houston Texas. This is a order at the counter and then your food will be delivered to you type of service. Great interior decor, if I lived in Houston, I could see myself coming here often to meet up with friends to catch up. $6.99 for a White Chocolate bread pudding that was topped with vanilla ice cream and dark chocolate with sides of raspberry sauce and a strawberry. Beautiful presentation that made something as simple as bread pudding seem elegant. Perfectly warm with melt in your mouth goodness that pairs well with the vanilla ice cream. Reminiscent of a pizookie from BJs. All the components of the dish elevated what would have just been normal bread pudding. I would recommend this dish to anyone looking for a dessert to share! read more

Amazing hearty brunch. Beautiful patio and spacious. Located right on the green so perfect for family and friend get togethers!

I'm never disappointed with any visit to any Ruggles. This was my first visit to this location. I had the Atlantic Salmon salad. I always order dressing on the side because most restaurant soak their salads with dressing and I don't like that. Perhaps that's a reason why my salad didnt come out soggy, too savory, or wilted. I love the mango ranch with the chipotle salmon. My salmon did come out a bit spicy (do note I'm a big spicy eater), but the mango ranch offsets it. My hubby had the Cuban pork sourdough panini. Great sandwich, although he did think that it tasted even better dipped in my mango ranch dressing. The panini was suppose to have a mango chipotle dressing already, but he said he didn't taste any. I really wanted dessert, because who goes to Ruggles and not get a dessert, but I was way too full. I didn't even finish my salmon! Yes I will be back. I love the patio area. The weather was absolutely beautiful today especially after the "winter storm" we just had yesterday. I highly recommend this place for lunches or late-night desserts (before 10pm) with good company. read more

We were craving dessert tonight and this was the closet satisfaction we could find. Of course, we ordered the white chocolate bread pudding. Yes, it was just as heavenly as the last time I had it at the location in Rice Village. Instead of the crispy cookie that formerly garnished the dessert, it is now made of milk chocolate that melts right onto the warm bread pudding. Great addition. The decor of this location is very different than other locations. It classier with an artsy, modern look -- a very nice touch. There are also electronic devices at every table. You insert your order ticket into it, and the staff will know where to deliver your food when it is ready. Talk about technology! I am impressed with this Ruggles. The only problem is that the parking at the City Centre can be a pain on a busy Friday night. read more

The food here is pretty good. I had the chicken Cesar wrap which I felt could have used a bit more dressing. My husband had the grilled chicken sandwich and he liked it, and my cousin enjoyed her vegetarian tacos, although she thought the dressing was much too spicy. The sweet potatoes fries were awesome and so was the side of quinoa salad that I ordered with my wrap. The food didn't all come out at the same time, which is always a bummer. I do like the variety of options on the menu. The drinks are self-serve and don't forget to grab some utensils on your way back to your table because your food runner probably won't offer you any. Parking here (City Centre) is difficult. read more

if you havent had the brick chicken and white chocolate bread pudding, what are you even doing with your life? go get it. do it. now.

We've been coming here on Sunday's to let the kids (we meet up with another family) burn off some energy outside. We time it so that we're able to get a table outside to keep a close eye on them while we drink (perhaps it's more like guzzle) some wine. The prices per bottle are very reasonable, and they have a bar outside which makes it that much more convenient. We usually just snack on pizza or desserts, but I've tried my son's chicken fingers and wow... they are tasty! The pizzas are good too, and I love their red (it should be called pink) velvet cake. It's their healthier version of red velvet, so I feel better eating it. :) They also have a live band in the evenings on weekends, so be careful or you'll be having so much fun dancing and running after your kids that you don't realize you've killed almost 2 bottles of wine yourself. Oh wait, that was me. Hehe... read more

I can't believe there's people who don't love this place! I came in today, with mixed feelings about this place (based on reviews I have read). And I have got to say, there's almost no reason to not like this place! Service: The staff can be a little more polite, but the system is self serve. So only expect to interact with them when you order, and also when receiving food. I wish the staff would have explained to me rather than reading about this on Yelp. Food: Loved everything I got today!! I ordered a tomato basil soup and that was amazing already! It's creamy soup, with a layer of cheese, and topped with puff pastry. For my entree, I ordered the grilled fish tacos... Which was way larger than I expected! It was basically 4 tacos with a spicy coleslaw mixture. My boyfriend ordered a organic egg sandwich (which I made fun of him since it's so "basic"). Boy could I be anymore wrong.... It was a sourdough toast with ham, a variety type of cheese, bacon, and over easy eggs on top. Definitely did not expect this to be amazing as it was. And the sweet potato fries that came with it....! YUM! Lastly, we got the infamous bread pudding... No need to even describe what was all the other reviewers talking about. I was scraping for more at the end! Overall, enjoyed my date! My boyfriend even asked to come back again next week since this blew his mind as well. Oh! And I also tried their house made pickles. It was a good palette cleansing in between the food. read more

I'm so mad I forgot to take pics of the food! LOL maybe I was just too hungry! I had this Roasted Corn Chowder and Spinach Salad but I replaced the dressing with the Avocado Lemon Dressing because the other dressing has bacon in it...and I didn't want bacon with the Salad either...Honestly the salad was really good....and the Corn Chowder was as well... Basically it is more of a casual but nice atmosphere....you order food at the front and they bring it to you...so I guess it's a "Fast Casual" type restaurant that seems to have a little more flair to it... Nice and clean and the service was great! Would come here again next time I'm in the area. read more

The food is so good, I really like everything in there, the service is amazing , manager is very friendly and helpful I love it

I've been to Ruggles Green countless times over the years for my dessert fix. They have my favorite bread pudding of all time, which is their signature white chocolate bread pudding. It's the best! And perfect for sharing because it's huge and comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also like their pink velvet cake, though I have to admit it wasn't as good as I remembered it to be when I had it last weekend. I have never tried their regular food but I like the convenience of having the bakery on one side where I can just walk up and order dessert without much of a wait. I'm happy that their menu has remained the same with their name change to Bellagreen. read more

Was taken here for a birthday party (mine). It's interesting. First off it's order at the counter and seat yourself. No wait service in this place. So for a large group it was good for billing purposes, but not so much when you were sitting in the middle of a booth and wanted another drink. (Can everyone slide out so I can go get a drink or order food) :( The staff didn't even come by to collect plates that were finished until we stacked them all up and sat them at the end of the table. The food was actually really good. This is the one saving grace for me. I had the hummus to start and the veggie burger. Both were very good when they finally got the right order (wrong the first time - don't give a veggie girl a turkey burger - boooo) But the sweet potato fries were not fresh - made ahead and luke warm & soft :( And I love my sweet potato fries!! So I'm really not sure if I'd go back. But maybe with less people. You just can't get it wrong in Houston when there are sooooo many good places to go!! read more

I've been to Ruggles Green a few times at this location. I came here for lunch recently Sunday, and the line was long but moved pretty quickly. There are plenty of seats inside, but I chose to eat outside on a pretty day. The ordering style is similar to McAlisters or Panera Bread. You order off the menu, and they give you a numbered tracking device. It is self-serve for utensils, fountain drinks/tea, and sauces. We ordered the All Natural Buffalo Burger, Steak Salad, and White Chocolate Bread Pudding. All Natural Buffalo Burger (3/5): My friend ordered this. I only took a bite of this with the sweet potato fries. It was my first time trying buffalo - much healthier. Steak Salad (3/5): This is the second salad I tried from here. It was from their daily specials, not on the regular menu. It contains mixed greens, 6oz flank steak, tomatoes, red onions, boiled eggs, avocado, cheese, and bacon. The mango sauce was exquisite, not too sweet - just delicious. Overall, I liked this salad, just was disappointed at first. I wanted my steak medium rare... Not well-done. White Chocolate Bread Pudding (4/5): Ruggles Green is known for this. Try it! Presentation is great as well. I just wish they can give you an extra scoop of ice cream. All desserts are $7. Overall, decent food and beer selection. It's more of a lunch place. I would recommend trying other restaurants for dinner. It is located in the heart of City Centre, next to Kendra Scott or Straits. read more
