    Tonight was great. All across the board...service and food. I haven't visited in years due to a bad experience but I'm very happy I decided to give it another try. The hostess ( so sorry for not remembering her name) and our server Gage were so friendly and welcoming. We tried a good bit of everything from spinach dip, ribs and pasta. The New Orleans pasta was our favorite. To top it all off, the prices were sooo affordable. Cheddars has regained me as a customer.

    This place is for the young diners that want to go out and have fun and BALL ON A BUDGET .... It's great for groups and the PRICING OS THE BEST PART !!!! It's cute chic and has a great quick get in and out menu or stay awhile and eat some home country cooking The drinks are seriously like 6 bucks Cute daiquiris and margaritas and the bartender is adorable. Her name is Olivia. She makes cute. Perfect little drinks that look just like the menu pictures. You can't go wrong. I see lots of kids go here after the prom or before the prom. This is really a great place for young people to start off on a budget who wanna go out and enjoy being in a restaurant atmosphere without breaking the bank Oh yes forgot to add they have the best melts in your mouth with honey butter croissants made fresh daily and they're always hot and warm and I forgot to tell you they have a great 350 400 cal menu for those watching and counting calories this place is one of the best kept secrets. That's a bang for your bug value I gave it a 3 only cause it's not a Super Steak House or anything fancy... it's one of the best to go to I love it for the value

    We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express in the same parking lot so for convenience, this was awesome. (Our first choice was Olive Garden but they had a 40 min wait). At Cheddar's we were seated immediately. Ambiance was ok, background noise was pretty loud. (Hard to hear server and he had trouble hearing us.) We waited quite awhile after being seated for our server to come. When he did, he said, "I'm sorry about the long wait, I was in the bathroom." Ummmm... TMI??? 100% sure that is what you should NOT say when you greet a table. My husband said he immediately picked up on what was said and first thought was, "I hope we don't get sick." Put in our drinks orders: 3 kids sodas and 2 waters. Then we looked at the menu. Decided on: kids burger, kids tenders, our oldest went with a 1/2lb burger, the lemon pepper chicken and the steak and ribs combo. Upon reviewing the check, I noticed that we had a $2.99 drink charge. I asked about it since my husband and I had water. The server said that since our one child ordered a regular burger, the drink wasn't included and he had to charge us for it. Ok... I get it, but let's get real. The kids meal was $5.99. She ordered a $9.99 meal, already $4 more. You added on a $3 drink but she got a tiny kids size and didn't get a refill. So we were charged $3 for a tiny kid's soda? And what if one of our kids wanted a refill?? That would have been free right? So wouldn't a decent human just have included the tiny kid's drink as a courtesy? She planned on getting a kid's meal but got a bigger meal. So we paid an extra $7 for her. She should have just ordered 2 kids meals for LESS money. Doesn't make ANY sense. For was just ok. Wasn't anything to write home about. Lemon pepper chicken was a bit over cooked. Side note: There were issues with the table seated across from us. Upon checking on them after they had their meals delivered, the husband said that they never got their appetizer AND he never got his Caesar salad. Honestly, we came here out of convenience to our hotel but I wouldn't have sought it out and probably won't in the future. Probably would do 2.5 but had to pick either 2 or 3... just couldn't get over the bathroom comment or the $3 kid's soda charge.

    Look, it's fast casual American food. It won't wow your socks but it will hit the mark. Tendies, good. Pot pie, good. Honey butter croissant, wow. Seriously they are free and I'd pay $10 for a plate of four but don't tell them that. Get the tendies, split a croissant in half. Throw that chicken in there and cover it in hot honey. You're welcome. Ask for extra honey butter glaze on the side.

    What a stunning restaurant. The greenery throughout the store made everything feel so wholesome and…read morethe elegant decor added a touch of sophistication. The exterior is just as beautifully decorated. It's clear that chef-owner Lori Pope poured a lot of time, heart, and soul into both the menu and the store's design. The hostess was super friendly. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a warm and smiling greeting. The menu was a feast for the eyes. It had a lot of lovely pictures of the different dishes. I was ecstatic to see that there were so many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Also, most of the dishes can be requested to be made gluten-free. Big plus. You don't order at your table, instead you go to the counter in the back and make sure to bring the sheet with your table number on it. The gal at the counter who took our order wasn't as friendly as the hostess but she was polite enough to inform us about the 15% charge. The food came out very quickly. Hopefully it's because they had a ton of people working in the back. Hopefully. I ordered the Magic Mushroom Tacos and thought it was a beautiful plate. My favorite thing about the dish is the tortillas. It had a nice light crisp to it and kept all the fillings intact from start to finish. The "Magic Mushrooms" were good but could have been better if the batter were lighter and crispier. The batter was a little on the heavy and dense side for me. I also think the sauce could be even better if it had a bit less oil and a bit more flavor. I really enjoyed the potato slices and the fresh berries were a great way to cleanse the palate. My lunch date ordered the Biscuit and gravy dish and thought it was good. We also ordered a side of the Belgian waffle to share. I thought the waffle on its own was extremely sweet and way too dense for my liking. I am happy there's a locally owned and created brunch place like Harvest Kitchen and will definitely be back to try other dishes. Note: There's an automatic 15% service charge to every order.

    I needed to update my review 06/17/26…read more Never did I threaten her granddaughter or the hostess. Her underage granddaughter often works here during school breaks. She brought me my cinnamon roll after I asked for a refund, I relayed that message to granddaughter. My review reflects on her unwelcoming hostess mentioned.. I was also met with pages of messages on Instagram from their personal page after this review that I KINDLY responded to on how they no longer served us. Apparently you can't be open and honest on yelp without being banned from this restaurant. Lack of professionalism and ability to accept open criticism is clearly an issue & displayed here. Being labeled as much considering the close and friendly relationships I've had with the staff here is disappointing, disgraceful, and disrespectful. I will not longer be commenting on this as of 06/17/2026. 06/16/2026: I am a regular. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed my meal and/or experience here from start to finish here. Today was my last straw. The experience and food is noticeably different when chef Lori is not here. For $80 I expect my food to come fresh and delivered with the rest of the tables food. I don't expect to sit down for 10 - 15 minutes to then be notified they are out of what I ordered. I've sat down for an extra 5 - 10 minutes and I saw 10 empty tables with no line. The whole experience here has gone downhill and rapidly fast. To say the least, I will not consider myself a regular here anymore. I added an old picture because I really use to enjoy this place.

    Another pleasant surprise in what I'm going to arbitrarily designate as a brunch fusion menu…read more Firstly, it's a very nice layout. Tables are well spaced plenty of room eight crisp environment really just a very comfortable ambience. The services superlative from the moment you walk in in which you are immediately accommodated to the server who takes an order and then the servers who serve the food which is not necessarily one in the same. It's simply a very efficient service system and very pleasant if you're a customer. You get warm food. In my case I had hollandaise with Salman underlying it, which was very good. The eggs were cooked perfectly the hollandaise not by any means obnoxious but a very deliberate Irving and a wonderful salad, which both underlines the egg and is served as a side with the eggs, which were perfectly poached. In so far as the buzz is concerned, there are wines and beer available and really quite an extensive menu in both. I enjoyed a beer with mine, which I know it sounds like an odd combination, but it worked quite well for me. Really this is a wonderful addition to Katy options for breakfast or brunch.

    As someone who frequents the Buzz and Bites in Spring Branch since it is right around the corner…read morefrom my house, I was excited when my job moved into a new office just one street over from the Katy location. I had been watching this one being built for a while and was especially curious to try it since this location has a full bar, which adds a really fun twist to the traditional coffee shop concept. I stopped in for lunch and decided to sit out on the patio which ended up being the perfect choice. The atmosphere was relaxed, bright, and inviting with a nice open feel that makes it easy to slow down and actually enjoy your meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in and everything moved quickly and smoothly. I ordered the guava mimosa and it was SO good. Light, refreshing, and honestly the perfect daytime drink. For food I had the chicken avocado wrap and substituted the chips for truffle fries and both were SOOOOO good. The wrap was fresh, warm, and packed with flavor and the truffle fries were absolutely worth the upgrade. I love that this location keeps the cozy Buzz and Bites feel while also leaning into a slightly more elevated vibe with the bar and patio seating. Between the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the great food and drinks, I can already tell this will become a regular lunch spot now that it is so close to our office.

    What a great dining experience! This was my first time here. I was heading into heavy rush-hour…read moretraffic, so I decided to avoid it and stop to have a good meal before heading home. This restaurant definitely aims to please. I was being very specific about what I wanted for my ribeye steak tonight; waitress Jessie was awesome and listened carefully to my requests. And then to make sure that I was absolutely happy, she brought Chef Kenneth to the table to discuss what I was looking for. Kenneth returned from the kitchen with three beautiful-looking ribeye steaks and we discussed which one would give me the best dining experience. He does some of the butchering himself so he knew exactly what I was looking for. I ended up being served the most fabulous Wagyu steak I've had in a very long time. Unlike the other steaks that can have a seasoning on them, the Wagyu is just salt and pepper and then is served with a beautiful compound butter slathered all over it. They make that butter in-house and it has wine and shallots and bone marrow and other wonderful stuff. Trust me, it's amazing! I ordered extra on the side and poured that all over the top of the steak. Delicious!! Sometimes little things count and it was served with grilled onion that was tasty. I could have had a side of mashed potatoes or asparagus, but I decided to treat myself and try the mac-n-cheese instead. Half of that food was my lunch the next day, so I left enough room for dessert, where my choice was the apple pie bread pudding with cinnamon roll ice cream. That was nice and moist and I enjoyed it. Overall, this was a really great dining experience and I'm so glad that bad traffic gave me the excuse to come here. Will definitely plan a return visit!!

    Our experience was disappointing due to the way we were approached by the manager. We had simply…read moremoved a table in bar area and instead of politely explaining the situation, the manager came over and told us we couldn't because the table cost $5,000. While we completely understand wanting to protect expensive furniture, the tone and delivery came across as rude and made our entire table feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. On the other hand, I want to recognize our waiter, who was excellent throughout the meal. Raymond was attentive, friendly, and did his best to make us feel comfortable again after the interaction with the manager. His professionalism and kindness were the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food also fell short of expectations. In particular, I would not recommend the mussels. The flavor was unpleasant and left a very bad aftertaste, making them one of the least enjoyable dishes we ordered. Good customer service isn't just about enforcing rules--it's about how those rules are communicated. Unfortunately, the manager's approach, combined with the disappointing food, overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable dining experience.
