i am so surprised that i have not heard about winnie's…read more lately, i've been spending some of my spare happy hour time, looking for ones that feel right. winnie's is definitely one of the places that feels right. it's in a central location, there is paid parking nearby or the train. the drinks are decent. the bites are great, and the atmosphere is chill. there is also seating on their patio. i would summarize the vibe as "rockabilly" and as a millennial, i like it. the staff are welcoming, and on wednesdays they have trivia! bonné santé c.

They had 2 servers for a pretty busy house :/ so service was inevitably slow. Like it took 15-20…read moremins to PLACE an order. Vibes were great but we went during trivia night and I guess the trivia MCs were in charge of music because it was PAINFULLY loud. My ears still hurt. The food was fine. Would not recommend the oysters. Not very well shucked :( the crunch wrap was OK. It's like a fancier Taco Bell menu item...with lots of pickled vegetables. Would try different things next time! The drinks were good. :)

i said it once, i'm going to say it again;…read more i love high quality simple food! district 7 grill is that! as a california native, diner culture is in my blood!! (and tacos, avocados, strawberries, and wine- lol) i never pass up an opportunity to visit a diner. district 7's inside is very "dreamy" and i can see a lot of editorial potential. (if you're into that) but very casual. the food was excellent!! crab cake benedict (8/10) american breakfast (8/10) strawberry milkshake (9/10) red sangria (9/10) great portions + great service = left happy district 7 grill has been added to my permanent brunch list! bonné appétit c.

ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!! Let this place die like it's trying to. Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

I've been here countless times for brunch and always have amazing food and service. I enjoy sitting…read moreboth inside and outside. Inside has a small bar area, some booths, and tables. Outside has fans and is covered. They can get pretty full so it's best to have a reservation through open table. I've tried and enjoyed both the bubbly and margarita flights. Each time I go for brunch I either get the Huevas à la Mexicana or the French toast which could have different toppings with the season. The beans are also super flavorful and the French toast always done well and never soggy. I still haven't gone for dinner yet, but will try one day soon. Just a warning if you ever visit: please utilize valet! There are signs to remind you and some people still ignore it and end up getting towed from parking across the street.

Everything was absolutely AMAZING. Complimentary valet, we had no reservation but walked in for…read moresunday brunch and were seated immediately, superb staff/service and delicious food!! Hugeee portions for the price too Our favorite was definitely the korean fried rice though. It was so, so flavorful and the meat was so tender 10/10 Huevos a la mexicana was solid but a little simple 7/10 We also got the japanese mushroom toast but i didnt get a pic. It was hugee and pretty good but again kinda simple 7/10 And the ube pancakes were sooooo good and fluffy but crispy on the bottom. Not too much ube flavor but it comes with a nice coconut cream sauce! Would get again 8.5/10 Overall ambiance was amazing too. Nice outdoor seating and good vibes all around. Loved it all, would come back!

What an excellent find. This place may have some of the best pizza I've ever tasted in America…read more The crust was perfection. The pepperoni with the hot honey was perfection. We also had the Dream Catcher, and, boy oh boy, was it delicious. The cheese was incredible. The pizza flavors just seem to live in harmony. The restaurant was so clean and neat. It had a fun vibe that made me want to return. The service and staff were wonderful. The bathrooms were clean and neat.

Stopped by the Midtown location on yesterday (Sunday) around 5:30 ish in the evening. And it was…read morepretty full with a steady stream of people coming and going. The person taking my order was very helpful making recommendations for me , as I had mentioned it was my first time in. And after a few minutes of indecision , I finally made my mind up and went with the pepperoni madness and a Capresse salad to go. Well despite looking very appealing outwardly, after arriving home, I realized that my pepperoni madness pizza turned out to be not so "mad" afterall because it was lacking...Lacking in overall taste, cheesiness, pepperoni, and personality ! And the salad was fresh , but overpriced for the size and toppings.. So overall I gave 3 stars for service and freshness, but I would opt for better pizza options around town..

Why 5 stars? Because it's elevated and unique cuisine…read more --- --- --- There is no shortage of restaurants you can enjoy in Houston, but a massive percentage of them are Tex-Mex and BBQ. Then there's the stuff you get plenty of in any city: pizza, chinese, sandwiches, chicken places, etc. But a real rare gem is ChopnBlok. It's West African cuisine, which is not exactly something you see on every street corner. But more importantly, this food is clearly made with love. It's not cheap: a couple of bowls and a tea comes out to nearly $100 after tip, but you're paying for real quality here. My dad and I both ordered a Golden Bowl and added steak. The steak was the best part. It had this amazing smokey flavor that made me wish I just ordered double steak instead of steak as an add on. I initially visited the ChopnBlok in POST, and was blown away with the flavors, so I've always wanted to come back and try their stand alone spot. If you're a person greatly adverse to spice, just be aware that there are some subtle hints of a kick in this dish, but I found it to be just the right amount: it let you know that it was there, but stayed in its lane.

Even though we went to the smaller location at The Post, we were still expecting the same level of…read morequality and experience associated with this establishment. I have to say that my dish was tasty, but there were several things that disappointed me. First, the prices were outrageous for what was offered. Second, the use of flimsy plastic utensils and cheap napkins felt out of place. You would think that a place with such a prestigious reputation would provide higher-quality disposable items, at the very least. Overall, while the food was good, the experience did not justify the cost. This will probably be a one-and-done visit for me.

I love this restaurant! And it's favorite spot to visit when I'm in Houston…read more The food is always fabulous, and I enjoy the libation. My last dish was étouffée with gold tile filet - delicious! TV screens in the background don't interfere with the table conversations. There's street parking.

*this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

Lovveeee anything Bludorn…read more Chose to revisit Bludorn for the start of my bday weekend and it did not disappoint. Service - top notch. Best service in Houston hands down. Food - you really can't go wrong with anything you order here. This time the highlights were definitely the duck and the rice. I could have eaten the rice as a meal and been very happy. Drinks - wine and cocktails 10/10 Parking - you might get lucky w self parking in the back of the restaurant otherwise it's valet for $8 right now. Make a reservation and wear something nice. Definitely a must try in Houston for an upscale experience.

Came here for my wife's birthday. Made the reservation using Resy/Opentable indicating occasion,…read moreand when we arrived, there was no indication from staff that they were aware. We weren't drinking so we did mocktails. Their selection is solid. I recommend the Million Dollar Baby and the New Madness. For the oysters, we did 2 of each: fried, smoked and roasted. I would low key just come back for oysters next time. They were that damn good. I was let down by the dry-aged burger. Even though I ordered the burger as medium, it was pretty dry. I've had better burgers from joints around town. Not worth $24. The Chicken entree was an absolute let down. I won't even elaborate. Some of our favorite entrees were the carrot soup and crab rice. Both were out of this world. For me the food was 3/5, service (aside from staff forgetting occasion of visit) 5/5, value 3/5. Also valet parking is $8. I'm still undecided if I'll be back. Need to recover from spending $275 on a single dinner. Ouch.
