We came to this restaurant on Sunday with a party of six after having a bad experience at another restaurant, and unfortunately, this experience was not much better. I stood in line for about 30 minutes waiting for someone to come to the counter. When the employee finally came up, I simply asked if she was ready, and she immediately responded with an attitude, stating that she was there by herself, had no help, and was running everything alone. While I understand that staffing issues can be stressful, that should not be taken out on paying customers. As customers, we have no control over who shows up to work or how the restaurant is staffed. We are there to eat, pay for our food, and receive basic customer service. The employee then became more upset and stated that if I did not want to be there, I could leave. This was very unprofessional. I did end up staying and eating, but the food was mediocre and hard. The rest of my party also felt the food was not good. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. I will not be returning to this establishment and would not recommend it based on the poor customer service and food quality. read more

I just discovered today that District 7 serves brunch, and even though I've had dinner at another location, this was my first time trying brunch here in EaDo. I'm so glad I did--the food was fantastic. I ordered the Full House, which lets you choose between pancakes, waffles, or French toast. I went with the French toast, and it did not disappoint, light, fluffy, and topped with sweet strawberries. The potatoes were fried perfectly, the bacon had that crispy bite I love, and my eggs were cooked exactly how I ordered them (over medium). Everything on the plate worked together so well that I'm already planning to come back. The prices were spot-on, and the atmosphere had a cozy yet casual vibe. When you walk in, you order and pay at the counter, then grab a seat and they'll bring your food to you. District 7 for brunch is officially on my return list. read more

I visited for brunch on Sunday, and had a good meal. I got the migas, which needed some salt and pepper -- but then was delicious afterwards. The waffle was DIVINE. Also got a delicious frozen cocktail. Staff were friendly. The spot is kinda lowbrow and I like that they have an outdoor patio. Will definitely be back. read more

Stopped by to meet some former Coworkers for lunch. I really enjoyed the fried Mahi sandwich and steak fries. The Mahi was well seasoned and crispy. The dressing and cabbage on the sandwich was a nice add. The steak fries were nice, hot and crispy. The service and ambiance are always special at this old train car location. read more

Beware there is a 4% surcharge for using credit card. This is not disclosed on the menu or anywhere in the business.

Fantastic customer service! Accommodated a party of 8 quite quickly with food coming out quite promptly. Overall, the vibe inside is cozy with a great selection of jazz music. Plus, if you come by when they're closing, you might get the leftovers! read more

District 7 Grill - *Maple Seared Salmon - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had this place bookmarked for awhile and decided to drop in. They do have their own parking lot; its small but its free. I came in around 1; it was crowded. Order at the front and open seating. Frozen Peach Bellini is a good option ($8). Omelette (added bacon and mozzarella cheese) cones with potatoes and toast on the side. The food came out fast but the bacon was sink oinking. I asked that it be cooked through. Not sure why that changed my added mozzarella; because it came back with no cheese. When I say they just threw cold cheese on it ... not melted and the now omelette is a open face scrambled egg. I guess i was supposed to melt it with my hot breath... idk! A group of men walked in while I was eating and apparently I disappeared because Ive been waiting for a to go container for at least 20 mins.l; after the waiter acknowledged I asked for one. Drink was A1 Food was mid Service was bad read more

Website says open until 9pm. Placed an order at around 7:45pm, got a confirmation at 7:53. The confirmation says to wait until you get an email with a pickup time. After 30 minutes of nothing, I called...3 times. No answer. No voicemail. I emailed back the address I got the confirmation from...says it is invalid. I ordered elsewhere because I thought they closed early. Why else would they not answer the phone and not confirm orders? As I was driving to pick up my alternate order, I noticed this place actually had cars outside and the lights on. Weird. I couldn't get an order response and couldn't get anyone on the phone. I walked in at 8:45, an hour after I tried ordering, with the manager following me in. Why was he outside? He asked what I ordered. He didn't even have the order system on and had to turn it on to see that an order was placed. At this point, I said I just wanted a refund and he said he would cancel the order. Why stay open if you aren't actually taking orders? I ordered through their own website because restaurants say that the other services cost them so much money. I wasted time, when I should have just gone to the other place all along, where they had my food ready in 20 minutes and were still busy. read more

Pre-Houston game, We ate at District 7 for an early dinner. Great meal, great service - many food type options. We started with the Arancini Mushroom Ball appetizer. The Arancini Balls were exceptionally cheesy and the sauce they served with a tasty marinara sauce. Delicious!!! We had the Short Ribs and Pappardelle dish with red wine reduction. The plate was loaded with meat and tasty, non-traditional sauce. Also, had the Chipotle Stuffed Chicken. The chicken was stuffed with kale and artichokes. The sauce was a lightly sweetened, kicked up with chipotle sauce. Our son had the smash burger. Let me say the smash burger was the juiciest , most flavorful burger we've had for $10!!! The dinner was a delightful treat!!! GREAT pre-game option and location in EADO! We will be back. read more

Came here for brunch and it was such a quaint spot. You order your food at a counter and then find a seat. The menu has a good variety. I ordered the pizza... they make it all from scratch and the sauce to cheese ratio was perfect. My friends had breakfast and I did sample the breakfast potatoes and they were seasoned really well. We ate out on the patio and they bring you your food and clean up after you leave. You could even hear the music from the club next door. I will be back as there is so much on the menu I want to try. read more

I hadn't been to a District 7 Grill location (Downtown location, to be exact) in more than a decade. But after looking at their Yelp food photos and knowing they have a patio, we dropped in for a weekend lunch. It was the perfect choice, and I don't know why I hadn't dined there since I moved to the neighborhood years ago. But that'll soon change. It's counter service, so choose from seafood, pastas, pizzas, burgers... I think the majority of the menu has a Tex-Cajun theme (gumbo, raw oysters, zesty pastas, breakfast tacos, migas, elote) but there are also some New American items... The highlight for me was the patio seating surrounding a massive old oak tree and with views of the downtown skyline. Pair that with a glass of wine + oysters, and it was a lovely lunch. There is parking, drink specials, BYOB with cork fee, kid-friendly, patio and inside seating, takeout and limited delivery available. Weekend Brunch: 10:00 am - 3:30 pm Lunch & Dinner: 3:30pm - 10:00 pm Specials.... Tues & Thurs: 1/2 priced bottles of wine Wednesday happy hour 4pm-7pm: $2 bottled beer, $4 drafts, $5 bites Friday happy hour 4pm-7pm: $4 red, white, and bubbles; $6 hand tossed pizza read more

District 7 has perfectly fine American fare. I thought my shrimp fish tacos were good, though I didn't love the tortillas on the tacos (clearly store-bought). But it's a fine spot for a casual lunch. read more

Ate lunch at District 7 yesterday. This was probably my fourth time having lunch there. This location is less than 10 minutes from the University of Houston campus, and offers a variety of affordable meal options. Ordered the chicken penne pasta, and the portion size was perfect for lunch. Flavors were on point. Parking lot is small, so it gets crowded on busy days. Staff is friendly. Service is reasonably quick. read more

I've been to the district grill in downtown and i didn't like it but this location in eado was pretty good. Had a lot of outside seating to keep a good distance from other customers. Surprisingly the brunch menu was really good. I had the brisket tacos and chicken and waffles with egg and potatoes. Filled me up quick and I enjoyed the food. Will come back to try other dishes! read more

This place gives diner vibes but also sells excellent mimosas and bellinis. We went for brunch and the service was quick. The French toast and the mimosa flight were superb! We sat inside because it's a million degrees out but we will definitely come back when the weather is nice enough to sit on the patio/deck. read more

Convenient to downtown, with a decent amount of parking and plenty of indoor and patio seating. Staff is welcoming and very helpful to first timers. Order at the counter, sit wherever and they deliver to your table. Had the bowl of Mexican street corn and it had great flavor, would be even better if the corn was roasted, it is enough to share. Did the tres tacos as an entree-2 pastor and 1 fajita beef, both on corn tortillas. The el pastor was really good, the beef fajita was light on beef, fresh tortillas and fantastic salsa. I'll try something else next time. read more

Came with a group, and luckily they were able to accommodate a slightly larger number than I had originally reserved for despite it being Friday night. It was unusual to have to order at the counter for the quatility and price, but everyone enjoyed their meals. We had pizza, burgers, salads, wine, beer, fountain drinks, etc. The cherry on the top was the watermelon birthday cake (beware, the icing is SWEET). Our compliments to the kitchen and front staff. read more

Customer service was great! Got the chicken fried chicken with gravy, everything was delicious a little stingy with the gravy. they served it in a small container, but no biggie asked for more and received also got a pancake ... it was a lil dry and thick not my favorite... brought my baby of course and ... there's no changing table. However there's an area next to the sink you can kind of work with. My child is in size 12-18 months and he legs were definitely dangling luckily it was a quick #1 change but if it was a #2 we would have probably had to step out to change her out in our vehicle. read more

So let me start by saying I enjoyed the overall experience. Wife is a fun date. Now just a little detail. We dined outside. Not the best outdoor seating for me. Nothing to look at outside the restaurant patio and no effort to create an atmosphere on the patio either. You have to order and pay for food at register, make your own drink order like at a cafeteria but the prices are not cafeteria rates. The server didn't seem interested in her job. Not that she did it basket. But no pop. Get me? Now the food was delicious. Loved the crab cake and snapper and my wife said the salmon was savory. It will probably not be one of my top spots but I hear there is another location. Stay tuned. #Pkast read more

Quite possibly the best veggie burger I've ever had!! So much more creative, fresh, and tasty than a beyond burger. It came with a bucket of crispy fries but the burger was so satisfying that I only ate a few. I was impressed with their diverse and interesting menu and the prices were incredibly reasonable. It's difficult to find salmon dishes under $20 especially in the city. I enjoyed their huge patio Under a huge oak tree. Such a perfect way to spend my Saturday afternoon! read more

I got lasagna. it I took three bites of the lasagna and tasted nothing but what tasted like frozen food shoved in the microwave with water and red sauce poured over it with some spinach. tasted like it had been froze rock solidand they just threw it in the microwave and gave it to me. this is the next day and I'm still burping up strong burps of the nasty flavor from yesterday and I only took three bites. the quesadilla was greasier than a pizza. they offered something else on the menu. I didn't want anything else from the menu. nasty food read more

As you can see stars are disappearing from my last two reviews. The Tex Mex fish tacos on corn tortillas were actually delicious, but the serving size of the black beans was extra small (see picture). Consider ordering another side if you have a larger appetite. The taste continues to be consistent so I will continue to patron this establishment. I just won't get this dish again. read more

Made the trip from Meyerland because this place is worth it. Lots of variety and interesting items on the menu. Consistently delicious. Had the ope faced braised beef with eggs from the brunch menu. Wife had panko chicken salad, her usual. Portions were enormous (see pics). Food was hot and eggs were prepared over medium just like I asked. Off to Herman Park to walk it off. read more

Came here on the weekend for lunch a few months ago since we were in the area. After scouring the immense menu at the counter, I ordered a red fish piccata. My dining partner ordered a salad with fish added The food itself was average and took quite some time to come out. The fish was over cooked on both of our dishes and were dry. The ingredients were nice and fresh, and the portion of fish was great, but the execution left much to be desired. My dining partner felt like there wasn't enough cheese in his salad. The outdoor patio was nice though, and I would maybe return for a leisurely meal. read more

This was pretty good. It wasn't many people besides us , so the service was quick. You do have to order at the front, but i'm okay with that. The food was cooked really well and the sauce on the chicken was sweet and savory. The broccoli was nice and crisp (how i personally like it) and the mash was great , if you like your potatoes not too smashed. I had the Chardonnay as well and it was pretty good. The server was hilarious, he has great people skills, even with his bizarre music opinions lol. Id definitely return. read more

Every time I eat here it's a treat. They have one of the best brunches in town...it's never too packed, but there's always a nice crowd. The food comes out pretty fast, but always tastes quality. They might cook the best grilled salmon in town!!! Also, the drinks are dangerous...potent & refreshing. read more

This review is strictly for brunch (which is now offered every day). The food was just alright (had their fried chicken with eggs, bacon, potatoes & waffles) but I wouldn't drive across town for it. This is going to sound harsh but it felt like the kind of meal one would have at the airport, or a mid-tier business hotel - all the staples and nothing really to write home about. I have high expectations for brunch when inside the loop. Also, brunch should include a selection of coffee beverages, not just plain coffee, which was all they had (no lattes, cappuccinos, etc). On the plus side, parking was easy and service was on point (counter service and staff bring out your food/coffee/refills). Patio was lovely and other patrons were chill, everyone minding their own business and enjoying the weather. I'd probably enjoy having a drink here in the evening. read more

Not the same place I remember. Place is hot inside. My veggie burger was microwaved too high. 15 minutes later and it's still steaming and not edible. . read more

P. and I stopped by District 7 for a Saturday dinner, looking for some yummy Italian food and wine to lift our spirits after a stressful final exam season. I love exploring the interesting restaurants around EaDo, and was pleased to add District 7 to the list. We ordered our pastas at the front counter in a quaint restaurant with a distinct homey feel, just what we were looking for. We quickly decided on comfort food - P. chose the Black Shrimp Carbonara while I opted for the Wild Boar Linguine Pesto. Our server was quite polite and attentive though a bit rushed at times. We received our food at just the right time, and quickly dug in to some tasty Italian food. I really enjoyed the flavor of the pesto, though I found the sausage a little oversalted in comparison to the rest of the pasta. Regardless, I really enjoyed the meal and found it perfectly filling. I sampled a bit of P's Shrimp Carbonara and found it similarly delicious, especially the cream sauce. One of the best parts of the experience was the (free!) soft serve at the end of our meal! There's a machine on the side of the restaurant near the drink dispenser with cones and yummy vanilla soft serve - a must-try on your next visit here! It was a great way to end our meal. I really liked District 7, and will probably return again whenever I find myself around EaDo. Till next time! read more

Cute diner-ish spot. The food was amazing. I will say I sat at the bar and could not see one thing that didn't look good leaving the pass. 10/10 on the NY pastrami open faced sandwich with a pouched egg and hollandaise sauce. Great brunch food! Was very easy to get in and out. read more

Review #31. I absolutely fell in love with this Eado establishment. Located blocks away from the Dinamo Stadium and a couple blocks east of 59. 1) Lots of parking. 2) Loads of inside seating and super cute patio outside with a gorgeous tree right in the middle of the patio. 3) Order your food inside and grab a number and your food will be brought to you. 4) Our portions were huge. I ordered the chicken penne and spinach salad. For only $11 the portion was so big that I took half home and had a second meal! The food was absolutely delicious! 5) Top it off they have a soft serve ice cream machine, so desert is on the house! 6) All are welcome. There were couples, families, groups. 7) I read the it is BYOB, however I am not sure. They do sell beer and wine. 8) Huge food selection, burgers, salads, brunch, tacos, venison, paella. You would think with so much of a selection that the food would not be spot on, but it is!!!! This would be a great spot when the weather is nice to sit out on the patio. However regardless of the weather I will be back! This place nails it!!!!! read more
