Food chain restaurant
Nicole R.

Despite prices being a bit high I highly recommend this food chain restaurant to families looking to enjoy time with self while their kids play in an inclosed playground space. The food was delicious from the burgers to fried pickles. Enjoyed the experience.

Big Hat Burger with jalapeños
Jessica T.

This place offers an impressive variety of customizable burgers with multiple protein options. I can't wait to return and try more! They serve three in-house sauces, each with a unique flavor, but my favorite was the honey mustard (available upon request). It was perfect for dipping my burger, tater tots, and fries. The loaded tater tots were great for sharing due to the generous portion size, though I wish they had more toppings for added flavor. That said, they were perfectly fried with an excellent crunch! I loved the Big Hat Burger with jalapeños--it delivered the perfect balance of acidity and heat, complemented beautifully by the tangy sweetness of the honey mustard. The fried pickles had great flavor but could use a bit more crunch, in my opinion. The sweet potato fries were best when served fresh, while the regular fries had a tasty seasoning that I really enjoyed. The service was fantastic--the staff was super friendly, and our four orders of burgers and fries were served quickly. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to check out the outdoor patio because of the cold rainy weather, but I'd love to return and explore the play area for our little one!

The Big Hat Combo

Went here for lunch on a Monday with my daughter. Burgers are delicious and toppings are fresh. We didn't care for the fries though, the texture and season were off. What I imagine shoe laces taste like. Of course the playground was a hit! I really liked the outdoor wash area too. Would certainly return

Drink option for $1 more

My kids love this place and the food is good. They serve burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, chicken fingers, and fries. They also have a variety of drinks, including alcoholic beverages. They sell milkshakes of different flavors and are always clean. Their staff is also friendly and happy to help. I love that I can sit and enjoy a meal while the kids play on the enclosed playground. Great way to grab bite and have the kiddos burn some energy. They also have a catering menu.

Hamburger, Chicken Nuggets and Fries
Stefini R.

We used the drive through, outdoors has a really nice wooden play place though. They offer 3 - made in house sauces. I opted for the chicken which was real chicken and crispy with a side of fries. We also got a hamburger and a shake. All of the food was pretty good. I wouldn't say it blew me away as something that's significantly different from most places though. Its a mid level fast food joint. If you're looking for something better than your common chains, try it out!

Everything was fine except for the onion rings. They were soggy, not crispy like I thought they should be. The burgers were good.

I came here on a Saturday with my family. The restaurant wasn't overly packed, but our waitress was…read morevisibly overwhelmed and swamped the entire time. She was pleasant and did her best, but it took a very long time for her to take our order, and the food took an equally long time to arrive. As for the food, it was a mixed experience. The lamb chops were actually very good and were probably the highlight of the meal. However, everything else fell short. The salmon bites were disappointing, and overall the food seemed to be lacking seasoning and flavor. The cornbread was another letdown. The only sweetness came from the glaze on top--the actual cornbread itself tasted more like a plain muffin with no sweetness or flavor of its own. I ordered the breakfast sampler with grits and eggs, but the grits that were served were heavily seasoned, dark Cajun-style grits rather than the traditional white grits most people expect with a breakfast plate. When I asked about it, I was told that's the only type of grits they serve. If that's the case, there should be a disclaimer on the menu because "grits and eggs" typically implies traditional breakfast grits, not the style usually served alongside dishes like shrimp and grits or catfish and grits. My husband ordered the lamb chops and eggs, my son had the chicken and waffles, and we also shared the salmon bites and cornbread. Unfortunately, aside from the lamb chops, nothing really stood out in a positive way. Considering the amount we spent, I left disappointed. While the staff was friendly and doing their best under the circumstances, the long wait times and lack of flavor in most of the food made the experience underwhelming. I would not return.

"Celebrating Mama Bear" 04-18-26…read more My family and I visited Cutten Kitchen together for the first time, and we absolutely loved it. My eldest sister was the one who searched for places to celebrate our mother's birthday, and she definitely picked a winner. She felt like this would have been a restaurant our mom would have truly enjoyed if she were still here on this earth, and she got it right. Let me count the reasons why Mama would have loved this restaurant: the aesthetics, the well-seasoned food, the lively vibe, the soulful energy of the atmosphere, and the wonderful customer service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess, Victoria, whose professionalism and mannerisms were spot on. She was so friendly and welcoming. She held the door open for us when we entered, and she even held it open again when we left. Our server, Daniella, matched that same level of professionalism. She was not intimidated or nervous by our group at all. She greeted us warmly, introduced herself, and took our drink and appetizer orders with ease and confidence, which let me know she knew exactly what she was doing. She also offered great drink suggestions that we really enjoyed. I do not want to bore you with a long, drawn-out review, so I'll keep this part simple. The atmosphere is welcoming, with music playing at a nice medium volume through the overhead speakers. The dining room is extremely spacious and clean. Food Ratings: Fried Catfish/Shrimp Platter - 4/5 Both were fried to perfection, with nice crunchy edges and a soft, succulent, meaty texture inside. However, it was a bit too salty for my health. Fried Fish and Grits Platter - 5/5 My younger sister said she could taste the authenticity of Black culture in the well-seasoned grits and she enjoyed them. The CK Burger - 5/5 My son said this burger was delicious, and he tore it up too! The CK Patty Melt - 5/5 My eldest sister said it was delicious and felt like it melted in her mouth with every bite. Salmon Bites Appetizer - 5/5 Fried to perfection and surprisingly not too salty. Fried Plain Wings/Lemon Pepper Wings/French Fries - 5/5 Everything was served piping hot and extra crispy. Deviled Eggs Appetizer - 5/5 Everyone around the table loved these babies. My eldest sister said she did not care too much for the fried chicken tender on top, but overall, they were still a hit. Dirty Rice - 1/5 Too salty and too greasy for my liking. It also lacked the authenticity I was hoping for. Mac and Cheese - 5/5 According to my daughter, the mac and cheese was a 5/5. However, it did have a spicy kick, so my son gave it a 4/5. If you like spicy mac and cheese, then you will probably love theirs. Collard Greens - 5/5 This item stole the show for me. The collard greens were delicious, not too salty, and seasoned just right. Here's the shocker: instead of using pork in their collards, they used turkey neck. I was genuinely impressed because a lot of people believe pork is the only way to get that deep, flavorful taste in greens, but Cutten Kitchen proved otherwise. Blueberry Lemon Drop - 5/5 This drink may seem girlie, but it hit like a man. Sitting Sideways Cocktail - 5/5 This one hits just right and gives you a nice little buzz. Pineapple Upside Down Crown - 4/5 It was a little too sweet and did not have enough liquor for me, but it was still delicious after I poured an extra shot of Crown in it. Overall, Cutten Kitchen is an upbeat, lively, and soulful establishment that offers some of the best Southern cuisine in the area. I highly recommend this place if you love authentic soul food, great customer service, and a vibrant atmosphere. FYI: Parking is plentiful, but it would probably be best to make a reservation beforehand. I have heard this place can get packed.

We had such a great experience at Chef's Table Vintage Park! The bartender was absolutely amazing…read moreand made the BEST blueberry mojito that my colleagues and I have ever had. Seriously, it was that good! They also had a special smoked cinnamon Old Fashioned that was incredibly smooth and creamy. Definitely worth trying. We started with the South African board, which was perfect for sharing at the bar and a great way to get a taste of a couple of different apps. For dinner, I ordered the Chilean sea bass, which was really good, but the star of the night was the ostrich filet that my colleague had ordered. It was so delicious and definitely something I wasn't expecting to love as much as I did. And the desserts...to die for! The crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding were both incredible. Our server, JJ, was also great; attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely recommend Chef's Table Vintage Park for a business dinner, date night, or even just happy hour with a friend. Great food, creative cocktails, and a really nice atmosphere.

You can choose to sit either inside or outside. We went with the Houston Restaurant week menu which features some of their most popular dishes. For the appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and gumbo. The calamari had a nice creamy garlic sauce which paired well the sautéed bell pepper, onions, and tender calamari. Their gumbo is solid, not too spicy and had nicely cooked rice and a mix of toppings. The rice had a good bite and absorbed the flavor from the gumbo well. I would recommend the sautéed calamari. For entrees, we ordered the wild caught king clip and steak Diane. The very buttery king clip comes with sautéed spinach and is basted in a creamy, slightly lemony sauce which compliments both elements of the dish. The kingclip is garnished with micro greens and comes with an extra lemon for additional acidity, but I felt that it wasn't needed. The steak Diane had a medium cook and was soooo tender to the bite. I would recommend both, but partial towards the king clip if you want to try something unique! Lastly for dessert, I ordered the passion fruit crème brûlée which had such a unique flavor profile! The tartness of the passion fruit goes surprisingly well with the warm vanilla custard. The texture of the creme brûlée toasted sugar top was perfect as well and added a really nice crunch to every bite. My friend ordered their sticky toffee pudding, which was arguably the best one I've had yet. The toffee syrup is incredibly rich and adds a nice caramelized flavor to the ice cream and moist cake base. It's garnished with bits of sugary crumble and fruit. You really can't go wrong with either, but if I had to pick, their sticky toffee pudding is a must try. All in all, such a fun and intimate dining experience!

I rarely write a review when I'm this thoroughly disappointed, but this experience was bad enough…read morethat I want other customers to be aware. While this news door dash this really shows the level of customer service. I placed an order around 10:00 a.m. for 3 breakfast bagel sandwiches, a half-dozen bagels, and a cookie. It wasn't until roughly 10:45 that I received a message saying the bagel flavor I selected was unavailable. No big deal at all -- I responded immediately and said everything bagels would be great. Then... nothing. Two separate DoorDash drivers went to the restaurant and waited for the order. It still wasn't ready, and we received no meaningful update explaining what was happening. Finally, at around 12:30 p.m., more than two hours after we ordered breakfast, the delivery arrived with only the cookie. No breakfast sandwiches. No half-dozen bagels. Just a cookie. The most frustrating part wasn't even that the food didn't arrive. Restaurants get busy. Items sell out. Mistakes happen. The problem was the complete lack of communication. If someone had simply said, "We can't fulfill this order," we could have cancelled and ordered breakfast somewhere else. Instead, we waited for more than two hours and ended up without breakfast. Other reviewers may love the bagels, but unfortunately I never really got the opportunity to find out. For a first experience, this was a pretty telling example of the customer service, and there are too many other bagel shops in the area for me to risk repeating it.

The menu is a QR code on the table. They have a large outside covered patio. Lots of TV's inside & outside. The salmon salad was very good. The salmon was cooked just right & very well seasoned. Nice size, generous amount of toppings (eggs, tomatoes, onions) such that I had toppings in every bite with my lettuce. The entire salad, dusted with a cajun seasoning, was a nice touch. Food was served in a metal plate with plasticware & plastic cups. (I'm sure the 'plastic' is helpful for managing the outside dining.) Chef Dee came out to check on us. She saw me taking a picture of my food & playfully said 'hey you gotta take a pic of the chef who created it'. Of course I took her pic!! Based on my salmon salad, I would definitely try other items on the menu if ever in the area again. Try them out. If you don't prefer a crowd, pop in for lunch.
