    Butter Burger with waffle fries
    Talesha C.

    We came here for brunch on a Saturday around 11am. We did have a reservation and I do recommend getting one. The restaurant wasn't too busy but there were quite a few tables already occupied but it's a pretty spacious restaurant. Our waiter, Ashley, was so great! She was funny, helpful, and attentive. We did not have to want for anything while having her. I started with The Dream cocktail and it was amazing. I don't think I realized I loved apricot until this cocktail. So good! I highly recommend. It's light and just enough to trick you into thinking there's no alcohol in it. For main entrees we had the butter burger with waffle fries and the Short Rib Chilaquiles. Both were delicious but I would say the Short Rib Chilaquiles was more flavorful and tasteful and didn't need anything extra to complete the dish. The butter burger was good but I had to start dipping the burger into ketchup to add more flavor. The waffle fries were good on their own and didn't even need ketchup which was a win there. I'd love to return.

    Come for the whiskey, stay for the brownie & ice cream Bosscat Kitchen & Libations never disappoints, but their whiskey room alone is worth the visit -- an impressive selection that'll make any whiskey lover swoon. For Houston Restaurant Weeks, the wedge salad is crisp and flavorful, the pork chop dinner is juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the warm brownie with ice cream is the ultimate sweet finish. A must for both foodies and whiskey fans.

    Interior space
    Nick S.

    I had Bosscat bookmarked for the longest time, and I finally got around to stopping by... it was well worth the wait The exterior is modern and chic. Everything outside (patio, entryway, signage, etc) is as clean and tastefully put together as the decor inside. The interior is both elegant and somewhat eclectic. There is plenty of seating. The decor and fixtures pop out but in an appealing way. There is a fully stocked bar and a very neat and gorgeous whiskey tasting room The staff were exceptional. Everyone was beyond pleasant, polite, and professional. The entryway door was opened for us long before we stepped inside. We were seating immediately, and had our choice of seats. We were greeted by our server who was fantastic. The menu was briefly reviewed with us. Our drinks and appetizer came out in a timely manner, and was quickly followed by the rest of our meal. Our appetizers were packed up togo, and when we could barely eat one more morsel the rest of our meal was packed up. It was incredible service I love their brunch menu. There is something for everyone, and you can find all the classics... most with a slightly elevated or fusion take. The cocktails are solid. Everything was amazing. It was a delightful experience Some tips: Self parking is somewhat limited. You can find it along the streets that surround the shopping area. They also have a valet. The cinnamon roll is a MUST. It is absolutely massive, rich, and the roll consistency is less doughy and more layered almost like a filo dough. You can also make reservations online. I would suggest going in a group and sharing plates, because everything is tasty, instagramable, and relatively affordable Cheers!!

    STREET CORN POPPERS

    From the outside this place was very cute. Down fall is no parking and valet only which i hate. We parked on the street. Walking into the place you are greeted by a wonderful host and very cute decor. We were seated immediately and had the pleasure of meeting our wonderful server EK. He was friendly, sweet, knowledgeable and hilarious. He made our 1st time experience better than what I could have imagined. We went during happy hour which was also a plus. We ordered the korean sliders, short rib grilled cheese, corn poppers (corn fritters), and fries. Everything came out very fast. The short rib grilled cheese was my favorite. The bread it came on was perfect all the way around and giving in that special crunch. The korean sliders were a little dry but once I added mayo to it, it gave it the extra moisture it was missing. The fries were bigger than steak fries and cooked to perfection. The corn poppers were my least favorite, in New Orleans we call them corn fritters which is basically bread batter with pieces of corn. I thought I was ordering something completely different. Sadly I tried them but didnt like them. This place is definitely worth trying and the staff is very nice. Will def be back and hope to have EK as a server again.

    CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN SALAD
    Evelyne T.

    Bosscat is a great place to grab dinner as the service there is exceptional. The servers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable while the ambience is relaxed. As for food: Short rib grilled cheese: 5/5 definitely the star of the show with the perfect crispy bread and tender beef. I dream of it. Crispy chicken burger: 4/5 not all that crispy but was still a solid choice. I wish they could have done something more interesting with the sauces. We're definitely interested in coming back and trying out more of the menu

    Old faithful.    Look at those eggs.

    2nd review this weekend. I went back for brunch. This time I had the pancake breakfast adding 2 sunny side up eggs. Yummy. Pancakes fresh. Bacon cooked right. And the eggs. Again perfect. They had a DJ in house playing old time rock through modern pop. And anything g in between. Thr place was Hella busy but everyone worked smartly with a smile Then I went back for Sunday dinner. Calmer atmosphere. Less busy. Ordered spicy pork chop with mashed potatoes instead of cheesecorn. It was amazing. Finished off with apple pie and ice cream. That's evil yall. I couldn't stop. If your in the area. Stop.in. you won't regret it.

    I'm back in Houston to work and visit every few months. I always try to eat at Bosscat Kitchen. Their food is beyond delicious in my book. The sad part is, they are closing this place down at the end of the month! First, Eloise Nichols closed down across the way from Bosscat Kitchen and now, one of my favorite places to eat in the Galleria area is closing down as well. We are going to miss Bosscat Kitchen. Their menu selections are all delicious and reasonably priced. Our server was efficient and friendly. She asked us about we were celebrating and since we had September birthdays in our group, she also revealed that she was a September baby. As for the ambiance, it may be masquerading as a sports bar but it is more of a specialty restaurant to me. Overall, I'm glad that we've enjoyed the food here and pretty soon, they'll relocate close to the Galleria. We will drive there but not to their restaurant in the Woodlands!

    I always enjoy my time at Bosskat. It's a cute. Classy little brunch spot that's great for a date, a few friends, family etc. Today I came to celebrate a friend's birthday and we got to sit in the whisky room which was really cute! I ordered the boss lady drink which I feel was like their spin on a side car and it was really good. I for the steak and eggs for my entrée which came with a side of potatoes. The steak was a little salty but the chimichirri helped make the whole meat better. I will say the service was pretty slow today since we had one waiter for one party of 12 but other than that it was a cool experience.

    We ate here during Houston Restaurant Week & what I had from that 3-course menu was amazing - wedge salad, super flavorful steak, and bread pudding! I also had a cucumber cocktail that was so refreshing. Atmosphere was super cool. Our server Dexter gave us a quick tour of the Whiskey Room and was very personable & accommodating.

    Fruity Pebble French Toast
    Jai G.

    3.5 stars rounded down because of the price/quality ratio. The ambiance of Bosscat Kitchen is really amazing. The decor is impressive and gives a ready-to-brunch vibe for the weekend. People are dressed nicely but not over-the-top. As vegetarians, options are always limited, so we were not surprised by the limited selection for us. Nonetheless, the chilaquiles sounded interesting, but the server confirmed the ability to customize the breakfast burrito (so we did - subbed mushrooms and avocado for the meat) and ordered the Fruity Pebbles french toast (which was raved about in previous Yelp reviews). The burrito was good, but there was a paltry amount of salsa initially served, and oddly enough, it was not served with a spoon, which made using the salsa incredibly annoying (I didn't want to bother the server to ask for one, but I'm sure they would have accommodated). The burrito was good; nothing ground breaking per se, but a really great mix of breakfast flavors. The Fruity Pebbles french toast was a bit of a let down (not bad, just was hoping to my socks knocked off, and it was just good). The flavor highlight was the Fruity Pebbles, which I would not have expected. The bread used was okay, and a bit dry, though the condensed milk helped with that. Oddly, the servers kept coming by to take our plates when they thought we were done, and it was quite a bit too aggressive (multiple times coming around to try and take plates when we were still eating). This did mar the experience a bit, but still an overall enjoyable experience. Given the limited vegetarian options, and that the food was fine - probably not a revisit for us, but I'm sure will be great for others and definitely worth an initial visit!

    I was in town for the weekend and wanted to find the perfect place for brunch. After searching on Yelp, I came across Bosscat & it did not disappoint. We walked over from our hotel but there was a parking lot with plenty of space for parking along with street parking nearby. We had a reservation but it wasn't busy at all so we were greeted and seated pretty quickly. At first I was a little sad bc I wanted the burrata and jam but that was not available for brunch. We started with the beignets they came with a lemon curd dip that was topped with marshmallow and let me tell you this was EVERYTHING! The beignets themselves were soooo soft and that lemon curd dip was to dieeeee for! Seriously, had I not been sitting down it would've made my knees buckle. We were definitely there to get down with the mimosas but stayed for the vibes and the food. For my main entree, I picked the steak sandwich and booooooy was it amazing. The steak was juicy, tender and super flavorful. The bread it came on was nice and soft and that chimi churro sauce in the sandwich was *chefs kiss* The playlist was so much fun we were singing and dancing the whole time! I'm so glad we came across this place and got to experience Bosscat during my trip! Great service too! Thanks so much!

    The brunch menu was only available during my visit--plenty of drinks to choose from!

    Two friends and I decided to try Bosscat for Sunday Brunch, and I couldn't have been more excited to return after a happenstance Happy Hour visit just a few weeks ago. The brunch definitely did not disappoint! While waiting for my friends to arrive, I sat at the bar and chatted with Dan, the bartender, who was friendly and welcoming. He even recommended the ".38 Special" cocktail for when I return after "Dry January"--describing it as strong with a sweet finish. I'll definitely be giving that a try next time! Natalie seated our party and was incredibly attentive throughout our visit. She kept our water glasses full and made sure we had all the condiments we needed before we dove into our delicious brunch spread: * Smokehouse Benedict (with the egg fried hard) and a Solo Pancake on the side: The pancake was thick, fluffy, and so good I hardly needed syrup. The pulled pork was flavorful, and the crispy, roasted potatoes were perfection. The generous-sized biscuits went untouched since I already had a pancake. Next time, I'll know to skip the pancake and just grab some jelly for the soft, buttery biscuits! * Spicy Chicken + Waffles Sandwich: Presented beautifully--honestly, it could make Chick-Fil-A jealous! * My friends both ordered the Meili Punch, which they thoroughly enjoyed. The vibe was elevated by the DJ, who played music at just the right volume--enjoyable without interrupting our nearly 3-hour-long conversation. Not once were we rushed to leave! The playlist even had some early 2000s hip-hop classics, including Big Tymers, which made me smile. (Big Tymers at a River Oaks brunch spot? That's what you call diversity, LOL. I love to see it!) EVERYTHING was good! I'm already counting down the days until I return for my birthday to try more of their brunch menu. Bosscat is quickly becoming a favorite!

    What type of music is played for Sunday brunch?

    Mash up of rock and roll , some old school

    Will you guys be open early for the world cup final?

    Good morning . We will be open for normal business beginning at 11am.

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes but it's definitely more of an adult space and vibe.

    Would this place be feasible for a party of 20 for brunch?

    I would say no. While I suppose they could make it work, based on the three times I've been, it's seems to be too small and the seating arrangements are not conducive for large parties.

    Is it laptop friendly?

    Not really. I didn't get cafe vibes here. There was a lot happening when I was there, a couple of graduation parties and a wedding celebration. Maybe if you're having a business meeting and have to show a brief presentation from your laptop but I… Read more

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yes they are, on all three of their patios. The larger patio in the back is the smoking patio. The other two are smoke free.

    Is this place good for business lunch during weekday?

    Yes!!

    Does this place have outside dining?

    Yes, a small but nice patio

    Would this be a good spot for a birthday dinner? What's the Saturday evening atmosphere?

    It’s perfect for a birthday. It’s the right amount of calm and party! Please let us know!!

    Are reservations required? Hoping to grab brunch.

    No reservations are not required

    How loud is it on a weekday night?

    It's not difficult to talk to table mates. I'd say it's average. Not quiet enough to whisper sweet nothings lol.

    Do they still do bottomless mimosas for brunch?

    Unfortunately, no

    Do they do separate checks?

    Yes they do

    Is the patio heated? Thinking about whether it is useable in January.

    I've never been outside but you can see heaters on the patio through the windows.

    Is there gluten/soy free options?

    Yes gluten free

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.

Once we were sat, we decided to skip the appetizers and went straight for the entrees. Our Order: *Pomegranate Martini - this was pretty refreshing, i really enjoyed it 9/10 *16oz New York Strip - honestly this steak was good, but nothing special. It came with a side of butter. I got it with bone marrow butter, which i enjoyed, and my husband got it with black truffle butter which was also good. 8.5/10 *Lobster Mac and Cheese - phenomenal, it was sooo cheesy and fresh. I would get this again 10/10 *Mashed Potatoes - mashed potatoes are a must when eating steak but these were a complete miss for me. They were not your typical creamy steakhouse mashed potatoes, these had chunks in it, which is fine if they were actually cooked.... Unfortunately the undercooked potato chunks weren't worth it for me. 6/10 *Baked Potato - my husbands go-to steak side, just like the mashed potatoes, this was also hard and undercooked. 6/10 Overall: this will not be my go-to steakhouse. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just an off day due to the holiday rush, but we have had better experiences on the same day at other steakhouses. I would be willing to try again but for me and this experience alone, I would give this a 7/10 I will say that the steak did taste better the following day!!!
