This was my first time and everything was delicious! The eggs Benedict was amazing and the meat was very tender. My drink was delicious too. It seemed crowded for Sunday brunch but I made a reservation so I was seated immediately. Definitely want to come back and try more! read more

I want to start by saying the only reason why I gave it a 5 star is because our server Jacklyn went above and beyond to make my experience better, I just lives off her energy. Food wise it was a 3/5 and I'll tell you why. I've never in my life ordered something and return it. I also don't like giving servers a hard time, but I gave her my feedback after she asked me how was it; my response was the Shrimp & Grits I ordered was not good at all. Usually if I don't like it, I'll probably just take it to go & probably never eat it or have them trash it. Okay, so when I tasted my shrimp & grits; my first reaction was like why is this tomato sauce so acidic & salty? And then when I took a few more bites I started to get a heartburn. At the same time the grits were thick and I'm not a fan of that, I like mine to be a bit creamy. In addition, my shrimps were small & for a $24 dish I expected the shrimp to be bigger. My server came to check on us and she can see the dissatisfaction on my face, so she asked me if I wanted something else. I told her no because I'm not one of those hard to please customers, she responded by saying "I want to make your experience worth coming back" that right there is the reason why I am giving this place a 5 star, so y'all thank her for that. I went ahead and ordered the Carolina BBQ salmon, the fish was cooked perfectly, pink & glistening in the inside. My spinach complemented the salmon; I didn't really enjoy the BBQ sauce, so next time I'll just ask them not to put it on. I will say that I enjoyed my salmon 10 times more than the shrimp & grits. I'm not a chef but my advice is whoever is the chef needs to reevaluate that tomato sauce because it was out of line. It literally overpowered the entire dish. Overall AMAZING service, I enjoyed the salmon but not the shrimp & grits. At the end, Jacklyn was so sweet & brought us out a couple of complementary mini donuts to make up for the food, that was such a nice gesture. Will I come back? Yes. read more

We had a nice dinner at Bosscat. The portions were large and service was fantastic. We caught the tail end of happy hour and enjoyed some fried pickles, house wine, and house old fashioned to start. The husband had the burger and I tried the salmon. The salmon was a bit overly sauced, but had good flavor. All in all a good experience and super cool ambiance inside the restaurant. Reservations recommended. read more

Tried to come here for brunch on one of the weekdays we were here but due to the storm, they were closed so we got lucky and tried again before our flight on Wednesday. Was hoping they had their brunch menu but they only serve brunch on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). Cute upscale decor. Theres cute elegant decor with florals, wooden barrels and a large glass room with all of their whiskey. I ordered their catfish with risotto and my significant other ordered their BC press which is a pulled pork sandwhich and we both shared a side of mac & cheese. I also ordered their good life cocktail which I really enjoyed. It was refreshing with a vodka base. My sister got their BC sweet tea which had a bourbon base and it was strong. Their catfish was good. Fried perfectly that the crust had a good crunch. The sweet and spicy sauce complemented every bite with the mushroom risotto which was thick and creamy. Every bite was curated so perfectly. Their mac & cheese was okay. I thought it was going to be amazing due to the cheese pull but it was kind of bland. The crusted bread crumbs that was sprinkled on top was not good. It caused the mac and cheese to have a stale taste rather than a good crunch on top. Overall, it was a good experience. I believe our server was Dominic but he was nice and attentive. We were the only table seated when we arrived at 11:30am but it slowly filled up. Dominic was friendly and got all of our orders correctly. read more

Service was good and Ambiance was good! The food was a 6.5 out of 10. I got the bourbon chicken and sliders as well as the dreamsicle cake. My man got Eggrolls, ham and cheese hamburger, hot fudge sundae. read more

I had brunch here with a good friend and was blown away by the tasty food and atmosphere! They also had a wide array of tasty mocktails to choose from which was wonderful for me as a non drinker! I got the old faithful with a pancake on the side and it was delicious. Although the place was busy we had decent service as well and did not have to wait too long! There is also free valet onsite. read more

Wow! Colin was amazing!! Our shrimp and grits and the whitefish were perfection! If you like Whisky/Bourbon this is your place! They have a very nice private place where you could do a couples dinner with tastings. Cool spot! We are visiting from the DMV and would love to see a Bosscat Kitchen in our neck of the woods! read more

Bosscat is a great spot to relax and grab drinks after work - inside they usually have a di and the music can be pretty loud so catching up with friends or a first date may be a little difficult without yelling HUH a bunch, lol. They used to serve a bourbon custard that was so amazing but I don't know if they still do. The food is good but not mind blowing. My aunt ordered the 12 hour rib and it wasn't great. Really, I would recommend for vibes (especially on the patio) , whiskey, and a very attentive staff. Parking is shared with the entire shopping strip so plan ahead! read more

Great spot. Loved the chef inspired menu. Very creative dishes. We just ate apps and had some drinks but everything including the service was excellent. I absolutely loved the decor. We came on a Saturday night and was very lively yet we were able to get a table for two right away. Was perfect. Had the meatballs and bread....both were very good!! read more

This was a great choice from start to finish! Upon arriving the doors opened exactly at 11am with the manager welcoming everyone in with a smile, warmth and love. We were seated right away and the waiter Ava was amazing from the first hello; she made great recommendations and boy was she right about the cold but warming to the soul BC ice tea! (Yummy) and not to mention the breakfast shot; yes it's a shot of bourbon, oj and bacon on the side! (I know it's a must see and taste to believe) I was seated with a party of 7 and we ordered most of the menu (haha); (the menu is limited.. yup you guessed it due to Covid) anyway; the options available were amazing. We had the pancakes, chicken sausage, burrito, veggie omelette, fruity pebbles French toast, burger and fried chicken and some other stuff... I'm still full and probably won't eat for another day. LoL Anyway, everything was great, unique flavors, served hot, presented well and hearty. It was Valentine's Day so it was fairly packed. I have to add that I'm visiting from out of town but felt so at home at this restaurant, the manager and his wife were so friendly, funny and welcoming. He checked on our table and ensured service was amazing and it definitely was. ( thanks Ava) I will come back here again and can't wait until the entire menu is available. This is definitely a new favorite for me! Can't wait for my next visit!! Make sure to visit this spot, it's a must. Ohhhh and the atmosphere is so chic, rustic and trendy. Perfect for couples, family, friends and private events. read more

I ordered the chicken meatballs and the 12 hour beef short rib. The meatballs were sensational. I'd definitely go back. The rib entree was just okay. My food came out cold which was quite disappointing. The rib was covered in sauce so not until you actually break into did I realize almost half of the rib was just fat. That was also disappointing. Service was okay. The issue was my table was assigned by the bar, so my server was a bartender whose primary focus was those customers at the bar. read more

En una tarde después del trabajo, queríamos relajarnos y comer algo acompañado con unos tragos y por casualidad llegamos aquí. El ambiente me encanto, tienen adentro un poco oscuro, con mesas altas y varias áreas un poco más privadas y afuera en una terraza muy cómoda con sombrillas y luces, hasta este punto yo ya estaba enamorada del lugar! La chica que nos atendió fue muy atenta y todas sus sugerencias fueron muy acertadas. Y lo más especial de todo fue el trago que ordene, Pineapple Sage Elixir señores algo divino .... y sin comparación the Good Life estaba excelentes, solo puede conseguirle algo malo y fue que era muy pequeño y se acababa pronto. Gracias a Dios eso tenía solución, ja ja ja. Ordene una hamburguesa The Bosscat burger muy buena, carne jugosa y el pan calentito, las papas fritas que lo acompañaban 100 por ciento recomendadas, realmente un plato divino y mi acompañante ordenó salmón sobre una cama de papitas y queso, excelente combinación. Así que en resumida por favor no dejen de conocer este lugar y probar esta hamburguesa. Sin duda alguna regresaré otra vez! read more

Came in at noon for brunch on a Sunday. I definitely recommend making reservations. The hostess was a little rude and confused. She directed us where to sit but another lady came and actually sat us. Veggie omelette: this was good. Very hearty filled with greens and cheese. with a side of chicken sausage: definitely recommend getting this on the side. Flap jacked but added bacon on the side- this was very filling and good. Wasn't took sweet and had walnuts in it. Will definitely be coming back to try the dinners. read more

Top notch experience! I began with the Wouldn't You cocktail on a recommendation from our server. I don't typically drink gin but this drink was refreshing and tasty! My husband had the Bosscat cocktail and loved it. I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and it was delicious! The chicken was crispy, fresh and tender. My husband and the kids each got the Bosscat Burger and there were no leftovers from them! They were juicy and flavorful. The fries were more like potato wedges and were obviously freshly cut. The kids got banana pudding for dessert and I have to say that it was probably the best banana pudding I've ever had! It was served in a big dish and should be plenty for 4 to share. It was DELICIOUS! The service was great! Everyone was friendly and our server, Marvin, was awesome. read more

I've been here twice, once for brunch a few years ago and then once recently for dinner. I remember the brunch being delicious, but when I went for dinner and had the 12 hour beef short ribs...oh my GOSH. It was SO DELICIOUS! Like I'm still craving it a few days later. And then I'm not the hugest fan of brussel sprouts, but they had this maple brussels that were pretty good! The vibes of this place is very nice, the music is a bit loud, but nonetheless highly recommend trying this place out! read more

We enjoyed our first time at Bosscat. Visiting the area, the day before a holiday and both service and food were great. Victoria provided impeccable service, I highly recommend asking for her. She is fun and knowledgeable about the menu and staff. If you enjoy Old Fashioneds, the orange blossom cocktail is a winner. Great ambiance and good time. Highly recommend. read more

Dinner with work colleagues - great choice for a fun night out. We were all from out of town, so we weren't sure where to go, and thought this place looked good, with a nice range of menu, cocktails, and atmosphere. Nick, the manager personally came over to our table when he noticed we'd been waiting for service and explained their whiskey bar menu. I'm not normally a whiskey drinker, but when in Rome... he asked me what I usually drink and suggested I try the Spice Trader, even going so far as to say he'd buy it for me if I didn't like it. It was really good, and pretty too! I've attached a few pictures. My colleagues both got the 12 Hour Beef Short Rib for their meals, and I got a very berry spinach salad. My salad was a bit overdressed and soggy, but tasty nonetheless. My colleagues short ribs looked amazing, and they said they were very flavorful, but they said too that, unfortunately, they were a bit over done and dry. Dessert - OMG you have to go here just for the desserts! The fried apple pie was To Die For. And the Chocolate Bourbon Buttermilk Bar was epically rich and I couldn't finish it, so. I brought that baby back to my hotel fridge and had some of that lovely toasted oat crust, gooey buttermilk filling, and dark chocolate for breakfast! Would definitely recommend for drinks and desserts for a fun night out. read more

This short rib is hands down the best I've ever had. So much so, I came back to get it a second day in a row. I would like to have a conversation with the chef and discuss the recipe step by step because I could eat this 3 time a week. I can't speak for the other menu items, but this was consistently good both time. Restaurant is nice, clean, and the servers are nice. Highly recommend! read more

Complimentary valet!!! DONT FORGET TO TIP. Vibe here is very calming at brunch hour during the weekday. Party of two & a toddler. They do offer sides for kids. Our waitress Brihanna was amazing.

Today we ordered Appetizer: candy pig Do recommend,unless you are not a texture person. Main dish: sausage pasta Which i really enjoy and a good portion of it,i had to save some for later to taste the dessert. Dessert: Love!!!!! The fried apple pie! One was enough for me and my fiancé.

I had a great experience today for brunch at Bosscat. Service was amazing. Aaron was the sweetest and gave me and my friend great brunch recommendations. I had a pineapple mimosa and a vegetable omelette . I wish the fruity pebbles didn't have bacon in the mix (I'm vegetarian) and that was what I wanted to try but that was my only disappointment everything else was amazing. Their Halloween decor was so cool. The parking lot is very crowded but they offer free valet service which was great . I'll definitely go back. read more

You ever show up to a place early and the doors aren't open until exactly at or a little after opening time? I get it, people work a shift and they start and close at a specific time. Today, we showed up a full 15 minutes before opening time and I just tried the door and to my surprise, it was unlocked. The manager had his team huddled and was clearly going over the game plan for the day. I was expecting a "We will be open in 15 minutes, please wait outside" speech. Instead I heard a friendly almost apologetic voice, "Sir, please come in! It's awfully muggy outside. We are just finishing our meeting." Good service starts at the top and continued with our engaging mountain of a man waiter named EK (I hope I have that right). He was accompanied be a young man training, Dexter. Both were incredibly friendly and attentive and had great suggestions based on our personal likes and dislikes. Dexter also gave me a very detailed tour of their awesome whiskey room. Small things matter and I love the fact my coffee cup never came close to going dry. My son and I split an awesome breakfast burrito and stack of pancakes with my son that we thoroughly enjoyed. My wife and daughter loved their entrees too. My wife and I both celebrated our 60th birthdays this weekend and this was a great dining experience for us before we hop on a plane beck to Denver. Thank you all! read more

Let me just start by saying WOW: I am still dreaming about the 10hr Short Rib!! Epic food for a bar, easily one of the best heavyweight contenders in all of Houston.

Definitely travel worthy. read more

Where do I begin!! We had a wonderful brunch for my aunt's 60th birthday!! The food, customer service, and alluring, eye-catching exquisite decor was amazing! The food was delicious from pancakes, country fried steak, shrimp and grits, smokehouse short rub benedict, monte cristo, and lots of mimosa!! The customer service was outstanding. Nick ( manager) EJ (waiter) and Adrian (assistant Gm/ bar manager) they came by to say hello and talk with us for a bit. EJ was funny, and on top of his job, we didn't want or wait very long for anything. He joined in on the birthday song. The hospitality and overall experience were definitely worth writing a review for. The restrooms were clean, and I forgot about the host they were accommodating and very nice!! Management was the best!! Thank you, Nick and EJ, for being so welcoming and making us feel like the only table in the place! read more

Dear William, First of all, you have yet again proven in addition to your staff that you or your staff do not know how to handle customer service appropriately. Your response to my review proves your inability to take a customer review, critique and turn it into a positive experience for your business, your staff and most importantly to the customer. After reading your response, I sincerely hope no other customer ever experience an issue with you or your staff because God forbid if they ever decide to bring it up to the staff they are going to publicly humiliated by the general manager of the establishment. First of all, I didn't raise my voice at Cassandra or Nick. Let's get that straight. I asked them a valid question from a customer perspective. My tone and voice was normal as I was still hoping to dine at your restaurant because I have colleagues who recommended your restaurant to me. As someone "hoping" to get accommodated by your staff, logically why would I raise my voice at your management or hostess? Cassandra hung up the phone because 1) she didn't know how else to handle the inquiry 2) she believed she did the best as she was trained to do 3) she didn't think I would call back and ask for a manager. These are all logical reasons. Again, you have no shame in lying on a public social media platform to cover for your incompetence rather than correcting the issue. This is why many companies record calls so they can identify "teachable moments" for their staff and also disregard calls from disrespectful customers. I was told repeatedly that your restaurant does not accept reservations for over 10 covers. I was never told you were fully booked. If either Cassandra and/or Nick told me you were fully booked, I would have ended the conversation and moved on. Why would anyone continue to debate with the staff if you are fully booked? (Logical question) I kept asking what my choices were because I WAS NEVER TOLD YOUR RESTAURANT WAS FULLY BOOKED!!! Let's get that straight. LET ME ALSO ADD, CASSANDRA TOLD ME SHE HAS A SPOT OPEN FOR 10 PEOPLE AT 12:30pm. IF YOU ARE FULLY BOOKED WHY WOULD SHE OFFER ME THAT?? My question to her, which made her hang up was "if I am calling and asking for a reservation for 12 people, why are you telling me that you can accommodate 10, do you want me to tell 2 people not to come" (which I asked sarcastically). It's not like you are the only restaurant that's open in Houston on a Sunday. In fact, we had such a wonderful brunch experience elsewhere and we were accommodated by that restaurant to their best capacity. My wife and I were both in the restaurant/food service industry for many years while we were in college and for years after. My wife was a general manager of a restaurant for many years until she decided to change her career. She would have never responded to a customer the way you or your staff did. Please learn how to understand customer service first, then learn how to understand a customer critique and then learn how to respond professionally. Calling a customer a baby because the customer decided to write a scathing review to expose your staff's incompetence is not the right way to go. You have proven as a general manager that you have no self respect, respect for your business or your staff in the way you acted on this platform. read more

I went here for the first time last weekend with a friend. We ordered the Kansas City chicken meatballs, the portobello mushrooms fries, avocado farm chop salad with shrimp, and the very berry salad with salmon. Everything was really tasty! The service was great. Our glasses were never empty, the food came out fast, hot, and fresh. The dj was playing great music and I loved the aesthetic. This place is great for date nights or spending time with friends. It is kind of hard to find free street parking. We ended up valeting which is free but they work off of tips. I look forward to going back soon. read more

It was the last day of Houston Restaurant Weeks 2022, and it also happened to be Labor Day. We came for the lunch HRW menu, but unfortunately they were only serving brunch. The day before, I made reservations for a party of three at noon, and we still had to wait fifteen minutes. The restaurant was super busy, and the service was mediocre. This is my third time coming here, the food below average again, so I don't think I'll be coming back. Brunch Food We Ordered: Smokehouse Benedict - This dish had good flavor, but maybe a bit too smoky for my liking. There was an overwhelming amount of pulled pork and not enough potatoes. In addition, the poached eggs were a bit over cooked. Short Rib Chilaquiles - This dish was pretty good! The sauce tasted good, but the chips were very soggy when the dish first came out. It could use a bit more avocado, and cilantro would be a better garnish than curly parsley. Country Fried Steak - I could definitely get better country fried steak at the chain, Kelley's. Once again, the eggs were over cooked, and the steak was super over cooked. The gravy tasted decent, but it was nothing out of the ball park. read more

Service and ambiance was great! Deducting point because the hush puppies didn't have much flavor. I feel like the sauce is what makes the dish. The flat bread was pretty good. It would be better if it had a spicy or sweet compliment, like a hot honey to pair. read more

So good is great, the whiskey selection is great but for my last visit, our waiter EJ was the real star of the show and I would give him 10 billion stars if I could! I went for dinner last night to catch up with an out of town friend who loves bourbon. They have an excellent list of whiskeys (not just bourbon but scotches and ryes too) and we were fortunate that they had all of the not as common ones we ordered last night! (However one person in our group had been here before and had to go through five choices before getting one in stock, but that was a while ago and not our experience). I think Bosscat's salads are awesome so I went with the Kale Goddess and was about to add on the garlic shrimp for some protein before EJ saved the day and alerted me, spicy shrimp was an option and it would not disappoint. He was extremely correct. Others got the burger and the fried chicken salad and had great meals (they have good steak fries there for the burger and I may have stolen some ). Prices for pours are not as good as some whiskey bars around town, but at least their selection makes up for it and is a good way to try new ones before you buy a bottle. Here, though, you have the advantage of having good food to accompany it. The place has a mix of bar and table seatings and even a whiskey room that can be used for private events. It's a good place for a catch up, a round, a date, or happy hour (until 6)! Additionally if you can't find parking, there's a valet! read more
