Absolutely delicious. Fantastic spot for breakfast. Chicken and waffles 5 out of 5. Pancakes amazing. Must try

I've been to the original location and loved it so when I heard this location opened up, I had to give it a try. I love the modern decor and the bar seating that they offer. The customer service is just as good as the original location so I always appreciate that as well. And most importantly the. Chicken and waffles (with my side of eggs fried hard) was just as delicious as I remembered so if I'm ever in the area, I'll definitely give them a visit. I will say the parking was a little more limited in their lot so if you didn't find a spot you may have to circle the block and potentially park on the street read more

It's OPEN!! I'm a huge fan of the Bellaire location but being able to walk from my apartment is a DREAM! (Yes it's absolutely worth a 20 minute drive, but having it on my doorstep is a gift). The home of "Houston's Best Chicken & Waffles" has amazing food, it's ruined me for other brunch spots. The coffee is delicious! Everything is so fresh, and the flavours are perfectly balanced. Enjoying strawberry mimosas on the beautiful patio was such a joy! Despite being brand new the staff were so helpful and efficient, and the food was as outstanding as always. So impressive for the family owned coffee shop. I'm so delighted this location has opened - don't second guess yourself- you MUST go! (The avocado toast with poached egg is also life changing- you've been warned!) read more

Chicken & waffles were AMAZING!!! We also got the BLTA with strawberry lemonade. Best strawberry lemonade I've ever had. I'll be back soon!

It's exactly what you would expect here any it's likely that's exactly what you'd want. The food was good, the service was nice. The overall vibe felt good. read more

Fantastic breakfast. Immaculate vibes and friendly people in a great location. It's a little spendy but I'll be back soon. In fact, maybe tomorrow morning. read more

The food is amazing. The black bean tostadas are delicious. The chicken and waffles couldn't be any better. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. Service was good too. We had a large party and it was busy but the staff made sure we had a table. read more

So I was a little sad when we moved back and I found out that Kraftsmen had closed, but I read good reviews about this place at all of their locations so I thought I would give it a try today. I read through the menu per usual and what I would've picked I decided not to because they say that they have an award winning chicken and waffles. When I walked in, I was greeted immediately and there was no line. You get your own utensils and napkins and then they have a water station with cups. They give you a number to stick in a holder at whatever table you go to and honestly my food came out within five minutes, which was pretty amazing. The food was super hot and fresh and my chicken was really crispy and tender enough. The cornmeal coating itself had a lot of flavor and a little hint of spice but not spicy if that makes sense. The chicken was tender, but as most fried chicken is, it was a little dry, but I dipped it in the maple syrup and ate it with a waffle and it was really perfect. The flavor made up for a few of the pieces being dry, but most of it was moist. They also put a spicy butter on top of it just really tasty and so you're not overwhelmed with too much savory because you comb it with the waffle and the syrup. At this water station with utensils they also have to go boxes that you can get on your own and pack up your food. The service was excellent. I asked one of the guys there if I could have a container for my syrup to go and he went and got me a fresh syrup immediately. Parking was easy and there is a lot across the street but if you know the heights, you know that you can park anywhere that's residential. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other stuff. read more

Such a lovely place! Great menu. Great food. But why, why, why does the music have to be so loud?!?!

I was really excited to try this spot, as it's just down the street from us. The setup was a little time-consuming--you wait in line to order, get a pager, and then they bring the food to your table. Unfortunately, there's no kids' menu, which made it a little challenging to figure out what to order for my little one, especially without much help or guidance from the staff. Our pancake wasn't fully cooked the first time, but to their credit, they remade it, and it was fantastic. The service could have been friendlier and more accommodating, particularly for families, but I want to give this place another shot because I see potential. Hoping for a smoother experience next time! read more

I found this beautiful restaurant online while looking for biscuits and chicken and waffles. It is located in a very old brick building that is filled with other businesses. I love how they kept the charm of the past but updated the interior with modern furniture and color. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by amazing smells. Everyone was so happy and the cashier who took our order was very nice. You order at the front counter and they give you a device that alerts them where you are located so they can bring your food. It is very convenient. We weren't sure what to get but we started with the order of biscuits and you had your choice of jam. We got blueberry, and it also came with a nice soft butter. My husband loves chicken and waffles and since that is what they are known for he opted for that. For my entree I got the bagels and lox. She asked what kind of bagel I wanted, which was nice and I chose an everything bagel because those are my favorite. For my drink I chose water and my husband got the coffee. He was quite impressed from the get go with the coffees freshness and said it was a great start. We also go a banana nut muffin to go for later since we figured we'd be full from this meal. The biscuits came to the table first. I took a bite with nothing on it and it was pretty dry. It was fine with the accompaniment of butter and jelly but not my favorite. I was not going to let that sour my meal as everyone has off days. Our entrees came out next. When they placed that chicken and waffles in front of my husband he was so excited. My everything bagel and lox were so beautifully plated. My old self was in love. I quickly started fixing my topping and took a bite. The fish was so fresh. The cream cheese was absolutely creamy and the bagel was phenomenal. There was nothing I did not like about my dish. It was perfect. I managed to snagged a bit of waffle and chicken from my husband and I definitely know why they are known for them. It was everything it should be and more. There was a little spice on the back end which complimented the dish perfectly. We scarfed our food down and we were happy and satisfied. The wait staff walks around and fills the coffee. Water is complimentary and self serve. We had a great time. Oh yes and the banana Nut muffin was out of this world! I didn't eat in until we were back in San Antonio and I'm kicking myself for not buying more pastries to bring home. All in all we enjoyed ourselves very much and will visit again. read more

This place would be perfect if it werent for the oily hash browns. I would prefer frozen home fries over those gray oil browns.

Not bad. Cute cafe-like atmosphere and good service. The food was okay. Had the chicken and waffles and chicken chilaquiles. I expected a bit more flavor and heat in the chilaquiles, but they were more like fancy nachos. I wouldn't get them again, but I would dine here again. read more

Corn bread chicken and waffles! Well, I know chicken and this was just an amazing experience. Clearly a dish meant to share with 2 full boneless chicken thighs and a huge Belgian waffle. Crispy, tender, and well seasoned. Hot sauce is on the table, not local or homemade... but it did the trick. Cafe Mocha to go with it made this a joyful experience. Clearly prepared with passion. Decent daily specials and seasonal themes abound. read more

Ok experience, food mediocre...but what really put off was the valet. Valet made me pay $5 before they would get my car, strange because I didn't see anyone else pay. Plus who's going to a cafe and paying for valet? Whole thing put me off I'll never go back. read more

First time being there I wasn't aware it was order first then get seated. We went on a Sunday for brunch, food took very long & doesn't make sense to give buzzers just for the drinks. The servers are basically guessing as to where to go for your food, makes it a little harder for them probably. Food was decent not the best brunch spot. Just keep in mind the line to order does get very long, and then you have to go wonder off and find your own table. read more

I'm probably going to sound salty on this review so excuse me . Dandelion is a great place to try parking sucks but place isn't busy . Now for the food the coffee man that stuff is nasty and I drink a lot of coffee but this one has a very bitter taste would didn't like it at all . The best of the food was the Biscuits and gravy skillet with chorizo damn that's some good stuff highly recommended. I'm usually a person that sticks to traditional breakfasts plate but today I tried the chicken and waffles and I'm wondering why it's award winning to me the chicken and waffles are not that great chicken doesn't have much taste the best I've tried are at Harry's Restaurant in midtown I wouldn't try the chicken and waffles again, the pumpkin spice pancakes were over cooked they were decent but over cooked . Great location I highly recommend trying the the traditional style breakfast that's I've had before as well and it's been great but this review was based on this new location . I would come again no coffee and no chicken and waffles . Service was great ambiance very chill . If you enjoy brunch definitely try it out . read more

What a lovely place for coffee and breakfast! I highly recommend this place. I didn't know there's two locations! I've only been to the one on 19th street! read more

Had biscuits and jam with a side of chicken sausage it hit the spot! Loved the vibe of the place and the staff was super hip and friendly!

Tried out Dandelion Cafe this morning and would consider this a step up from the previous restaurant (Kraftsmen Cafe). The staff and owners were exceptionally friendly and kind, and all the food was fabulous, especially the breads and scones. It's earned a spot in our brunch rotation for sure. read more

Love Dandelion cafe, both locations are excellent. Great food, great coffee and great service. This location has a super relaxed and inviting vibe. Worth a visit if you've never been! read more

This is a very busy place. So I suggest to get there early. Very casual ambiance and super clean. Great place for conversation and lunch date. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Very crispy chicken and a not to fluffy waffle. The waffle held the chicken real good without getting soggy. The chicken had a great taste with a hint of curry flavor but thinking about it , it seemed more like cumin. The waffle had a perfect consistency to it. They put a dab of butter which was infused with what seemed like a jalapeño cumin touch. Worked very well with waffle. And the syrup was not too heavy and had good sweetness to it. My wife's chilaquiles were a little subtle on the flavor. The sauce was more of a green mole type sauce that a green chile verde sauce. But it still seemed to work with the crispy tortilla chip and the diced up chicken. A touch of salt and pepper helped but I prefer a spicier chile . Overall we will be visiting again. Very nice place and lots of items in the menu to try. We will be back read more

This is one of my new favorite breakfast places in Houston! Maybe my favorite! We went for Father's Day and everyone enjoyed their meal. The pancakes were fantastic and the maple bacon sausage was so good! Highly recommend!! read more

The food was OK. I don't know if it was worth the money I paid for it but the only complaint I have there is it is so noisy inside. It's hard to hear conversation The service is very good. read more

This is a fantastic place to enjoy well made coffee, excellent breakfast, and kind service. The inside is beautifully lit with sunshine along an entire wall of windows, with tables adorned with handmade ceramic coffee mugs. The bright smiles from patrons match the complection of the restuarant. A friendly place, well made food and coffee, all for a comparable price-- this will be a must-have / must-return space to visit in the future. best Regards, Full Tummy read more

Food was good. The omelette was filling. It had a lot of meat. The chilaquiles tasty. Had a unique sauce that I could not distinguish but it was good. The service was superb. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The environment was nice and the natural light provided for a good photo. Many unique flavors. read more

Such a great place for breakfast and the food was delicious. The service by the manager was exceptional, he went above and beyond to assure we had everything we needed! Definitely will recommend to those looking for a great place for great food and amazing service! read more

Everything was a problem. Waited in line to order, only to wait at our table for 45 min for our food. Food was not worth the wait. If you are a breakfast establishment, at the very least you should know how to make perfect eggs. My over medium eggs had raw egg white throughout. The hash browns were soggy and limp. The biscuit was flavorless and dry. I don't know why Houston doesn't have great breakfast options. Definitely won't be back. read more

Liars. Went to get brunch and mimosas, based on website menu. No alcohol currently served - "coming soon" apparently. Understandable, but don't deceptively advertise on your website. Don't let me waste time and money on an Uber. Why is there a photo of a mimosa carafe on yelp? Why is your wait staff dining at the bar and front room tables in uniform? Zero professionalism here. No thanks. read more

Pancakes and waffles are good. Some of the other items on the menu are just okay (omelet, etc.)

Where do I even start? The restaurant was beautiful --everything was clean, and the lighting was perfect. The decor pulled everything together. Sarah was the sweetest, and her hospitality made you feel at home! She made several suggestions, stopped by our table after we got our food to see how everything was, and let me tell youuuu... the food was to die for. We had chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, avocado toast, a breakfast sandwich, the Big Daddy omelette, and strawberries 'n cream French toast. As you can see, we tried a little bit of everything, and no one left a single crumb on their plate! If you haven't been here, you're missing out. read more

Coffee is weak/bitter. Hashbrowns under-cooked. Small portions for what you are paying.

First of all it was priced correctly for what you get. The food was well seasoned and cooked well. It's great to have a brunch restaurant in the neighborhood. read more

The coffee was good. I got the biscuit skillet. The biscuit skillet was bland. The gravy had no seasoning.
