Birthday muffin
Ivette H.

My husband and I come here at least twice a week. We love the food and especially the atmosphere here. They treat you like family. Today was my son's birthday and they brought him a chocolate muffin and sang Happy Birthday to him!

That was the best, juiciest, most flavorful, crunchy but soft- fried chicken tenders I've EVER had. I HAVE to come back.

That was the best, juiciest, most flavorful, crunchy but soft- fried chicken tenders I've EVER had. I HAVE to come back. Holy moly. Pure grandma country food.

We were on the other side of town and wanted to try a local spot, this place seemed very authentic and locally owned. Don't get me wrong service was fast and attentive we have nothing to say about that. Coffee was good but when it came to food we were dissatisfied it was bland, dry, and very chewy. I think attention needs to be brought to the food it's all frozen and processed.

If you haven't been to The Toasted Yolk Cafe yet, you are seriously missing out!…read more From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming and upbeat, and the service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely seems to enjoy making your experience great--which makes a big difference. Now let's talk about the food... absolutely delicious. Whether you're in the mood for comforting classics or something a little more adventurous, they've nailed both. Their menu is full of unique and creative combinations that keep things exciting, but they also execute the traditional breakfast and brunch favorites perfectly. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every time, but you also keep coming back for your go-to dish. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell they put thought into every plate. If you're looking for a spot with amazing food, great service, and a fun twist on breakfast and brunch, The Toasted Yolk Cafe is definitely a must-visit!

I've visited this place before and wanted to give it another try. There are definitely some things…read morethey do really well: The burger was tasty, the lemon ricotta pancake was great, and the service is truly wonderful every time. I also really enjoy the bottomless coffee! That said, a couple of items fell short for me again. The soup and hash brown casserole were much saltier than I expected, and for the price, I wish the overall experience felt a bit more balanced. I really appreciate the great staff and the dishes they do get right, but I'm still hoping for a little more consistency to feel fully satisfied for what I'm paying.

I happened to be in Kingwood for my friend's engagement party and decided to stop by Cowboy Surfer…read morefor a night cap. I've been to the original location in Spring Branch, but this was my first time visiting this location. The bar is located in a shopping strip off of 59. Parking is plentiful. Unlike the original location, you do not have to scan your ID (if you've been to the Spring Branch location, then you know what I'm talking about). It was pretty early on a Saturday evening, so it wasn't terribly busy. I sat at the bar. I don't know the bartender's name that served me, but she was nice. I ordered the Kingwood which is a gin based cocktail with cucumber. The drink was fine, but it was a little tart for my preference. A splash of simple syrup would have balanced it out. I did request for it to be less spicy (it has jalapeño in it). They have live music, though when I was there, they didn't have a band playing. They serve typical bar food like burgers, salads, and nachos. The vibe wasn't quite the same as the location in Spring Branch, but it was fine. This is a nice option for craft cocktails in Kingwood.

Where board shorts and bootstraps come together to create a laid back and southern experience,…read morewelcome Cowboy Surfer. Ambiance: 5/5 Nestled in the shopping strip center off 59 HWY from the outside it blends until you notice the sign and you see "cocktail lounge" I believe it's a first the front of Kingwood and I got excited and had to stop in. Plenty of parking and casual attire is welcome. But if you want to don your full on spurs, Stetsons and swagger or your surf threads, go right ahead! Although I'm sure shirt and shoes are required and you'll probably get cold since there is no sun or waves inside. Once inside the theme is as the name of the bar is, Cowboys and Surfers. Plenty of seating from booths, tables and bar. And there's also pool table and shuffle board. There was a live band "Pack of Strays" playing and was enjoyable. The lounge has live music on certain days and a Happy Hour everyday from 4-7, so I will have to come back to check that out. Service: 4/5 I sat at the bar and bartender didn't really engage much, though I noticed him engaging with a couple of select groups. No I wasn't on my phone when I walked in, if anything I make it a point to be mindful when entering any place as to note my surroundings and also be able to tell what the vibe is like. Though the service wasn't necessarily anything noteworthy, which attention & engagement would've made the experience/review a 5, the drinks were specially crafted which takes mindfulness to make. Food/Drinks: 4/5 Their menu has multiple options when it comes to drinks and also offer some food selections. I didn't get to try the food, but saw some items that looked interesting and want to try. They also have a list of beers and wine, so again, something for every taste. For this visit I only had two drinks. Beach Break: 4/5 with choice of Gin or Vodka (I went with gin of course) it has a refreshing taste as it is shaken with fresh cucumbers and lime juice, it also has simple syrup. It was more tart than I would think it probably was going for. I did appreciate that they didn't go heavy on the sweetness, but would've liked it with agave as the fresh ingredients would go well with it. For my next visit I will likely ask to substitute with agave as they do have it and it was in my next drink. The Kingwood: 4/5 crafted with my favorite "Hendricks gin" and named after the neighborhood we live in, this cocktail is also refreshing and enjoyed more than the Beach Break. It went down easy, bartender did ask if I was good with the jalapeño that it's muddled with and this time I opted to only have it with muddled cucumber. Again refreshing and not tart so maybe this is the alternative to Beach Break. It is made with topo chico and Tajín rim. Overall it is a laid back environment, live music and the drink options are promising, it's a cocktail shop (candy shop). If you live in the area or find yourself in the area, do yourself a favor and come kick up your boots and hang ten.
