    Doner Box with Fries @cl2foodies on ig~
    Cindy L.

    We saw this new spot in Sugar Land and had to give them a try! Originating in Berlin in 1989, this chain has made its way through the UK, Europe, Middle East, and even having a few locations in the US. This location is the first of its kind near the Houston area, but they are planning to continue to the Heights soon! The decor was really cute and modern, and there's plenty of seating inside. Everyone was friendly and the food came out pretty fast! My bf ordered The Original German Doner Kebab Meal, which came with a huge sandwich with any protein, fries, and a drink. He chose chicken, while for my Doner Box, I opted for beef with fries. The boxes are a fun and convenient way to eat on-the-go! They very thinly slice the meats and it comes with three different dipping sauces. Personally, I really like the two white sauces for both the meats and the fries. Although, the red sauce does have a nice kick to it! The fries are thick and crispy, which are my absolute fave! We prefer the beef over the chicken, but definitely would like to try out others on the menu as well! P.S. rly appreciate the complimentary hand towel packets!

    Not what we expected. My husband is from Berlin so we have spent lots of time eating in the motherland. This meal in Houston just reminded us that we are from Germany. The Döner we got had some spicy salsa on it and not the fresh veggies you get from Germany. You can just look at the photo I took and if you have ever had the real deal you will be disappointed. They had also run out of the bread for "the original" so we had the low kcal bread which was fine. They need to work on putting more fresh veggies and the Döner sauce that is expected. This meal should have been been refreshing and light but it felt heavy due to the spicy salsa.

    @germandonerkebabusa is another spot I have been to and few time and have enjoyed, this time ordered the Doner Rice Bowl, which consists of mixed Beef and Chicken Doner, Rice, veggies and their red (spicy) and white (garlic) sauces. first off decent portion size, and taste wise it was just perfect, doner was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, and the doner, veggies, Rice and sauces all went well together. overall I'm a fan of fusion food where you take 2 or more types of cuisine and fuse them together, and this is a spot that does it really well

    Okay, this new place in Sugar Land was really fun to try. I've been wanted to try German Döner for a while, and it is so convenient that they opened up in Sugar Land town center! For about $10, you get a huge sandwich with really good meat and bread. We tried both the beef and chicken Döner, and I have to say the beef is better. We also ordered one serving of the curry fries, and to be honest I couldn't taste the curry, but the sauce that came with the fries was really yummy. Overall, this is a once in a while spot for me. It was delicious and a good social place, but it wasn't out of the world good.

    We enjoyed our visit. The food was pretty good. I gave them 4 stars because the food was not as flavorfull as I like. They have a few sauces to help with that but I had a hard time getting some of the sauces out of the packaging and on to my original style sammy....I got beef. You get plenty and it's kind of pricy. My wife got the Doner gym box, lots of veggies and a mix of chicken and beef. Got mine with fries with a curry sauce on the side, this was my favorite part, good fries.

    Doner Krunch Burger and Doner Wrap

    This place has been popping. Sugarland has been quite a buzz about this restaurant, but what is it really about? German Doner Kebab (GDK) is a chain, with locations across the US, and various different countries. I would honestly call it a Mediterranean Fusion Fast Food place. Inside, the fast food place is pretty neat, and very eye appealing. There is seating outside and inside. So, in total transparency, I actually came to this restaurant the first month when they opened. The hype was REAL, this place was insanely packed. We ordered various things off the menu, they took our order, gave us our number, and we sat outside (since it was the only seating available). We waited an HOUR, and never got our food. 40 minutes in, they came outside and gave us free spring rolls, due to the long wait. It was odd. After the hour passed, they told us that they had completely run out of the food. The manager came to apologize, told us that they didn't predict the hype they would get in the area, immediately refunded my food, and gave me a bunch of coupons to return. Since I'm a reasonable person, I completely understood where they were coming from. I had no quarrel with these folks, and last week I decided to give them a second chance (plus I had to put those coupons to use). This time around, the staff was friendly, we ordered a Doner Krunch Burger and a Doner Wrap. Since I had a terrible first visit, they also threw in some complimentary Spring Rolls. The food was descent. The Doner Krunch Burger made us laugh, because it looks like something you would make at your house as a kid. It literally is a sandwich with Doritos crushed into it. The Doner Wrap was great , with plenty of veggies and meat in it. On both visits to this place, the Spring Rolls have been Superb! The sauces they come with are good too, and I'd definitely recommend snagging those. Overall, I enjoyed my experience, and the staff are friendly. Do I feel like this place is overhyped? No doubt! Its just fast food, but its fun and on the healthier side of things. I'd come back!

    OMG! I was born and raised in Germany. This is as authentic as it gets!!! Clean environment, very nice staff & outstanding Döner. Will come back soon & often, even though it's a 30min drive for me. 100% recommend this place!

    Newly opened in Sugarland Town Square. This UK chain has finally made it to Texas. A full house for their soft opening... the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was tasty. Everything has seasoning to it, and they have three sauces to choose from. I would definitely recommend getting the jalapeño poppers and eggrolls (I tried the chicken). Stop by if you're in Sugarland.

    The Original, cajun fries, jalapeño poppers and eggrolls.

    We decided to drive to Sugar Land Town Center to try this place out. We ordered the Original, the Krunch burger, spring rolls and jalapeño poppers. The Original and Krunch burger were pretty good. They loaded the Original with alot of meat. The spring rolls were extremely greasy and could have used maybe some cabbage for some freshness (?) and there was nothing special about the jalapeno poppers., which were also greasy as well. Overall, I probably wouldn't make the drive out here to try again. If I am in the area, I might come back to try other items on their menu.

We went during lunch so it was quiet, but I hear they do get busier at night for happy hour and dinner. I was able to pre-order the pork shank prior to arrival so I wouldn't wait the full hour to cook. We also ordered a sausage appetizer and pretzel. All were great! I was very impressed. Now I can't compare it exactly to Germany itself, but it was good for German food in Houston. Top notch service, clean restaurant. If you want to give German food a try in Houston , this is the place to go.

For those unfamiliar, it's basically like a loyalty club with FSDE. You get a plate added to the ceiling/wall and a reveal special for you. FSDE gives you a certain amount of free drinks and food for your party. It's pretty interesting how it works. They have a cool app to track everything. Bella was our waitress. She kept the drinks flowing with ease and a smile. There were about 15-17 of us throughout the time we spent there for the party. They brought out hot wings and quesadillas. I am not a wing person, so I stayed with the quesadillas. They were delicious! I really liked the flavor and they were fairly large (especially for a "free" party). Everyone was really nice and we had a great time. I am not a fan of places in town/city centers, as they are so hard to park in and you have a lot of traffic, but I did enjoy this place. We UBERED, so that helped since we were dropped off and picked up right at the entrance. FSDE has a nice long semi covered patio with benches. Great for outdoor seating like sunny days and unseasonably warm days like we've had lately. Again, the place overall was good. It's just not my preferred area of town, nor type of venue. If you like pub style bars, you will probably like this place.
