If I could give this place zero stars , I would…read more I ordered the Mambo Italiano, minus the onions. I have to say, this is one of the absolute worst sandwiches I've ever had in my 50+ years. The bread was so undercooked that it stuck to the wrapper and ripped to shreds upon opening. Additionally, it was so nauseatingly sweet that it overpowered any other flavors within the sandwich. The meats were also bland and flavorless, as was the white shallot balsamic dressing. I wish I had ample words to describe how utterly disappointing it was. If you're going to brand yourself around sandwiches, you'd think you'd at least make edible sandwiches. This place is worse than Subway (who I consider pure garbage)!!! UPDATE: I was sick as a dog for almost a week afterwards

I've always been impressed with every Island Grill location, and this one is no different! In fact,…read morethis is the first one I started going to ages ago, though they've done some renovations recently to dress up the space more, which look great! We stopped by for breakfast recently, and were the first group in the door at open. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as smoothies and fresh juices at all hours if you're on a health kick. They also have free soft serve by the soda machines for paying customers. That's always a big draw for our daughter when she gets to pick where we're eating. You order at the counter and find an open table. They then bring everything out you. Service has always been very accommodating and friendly. Overall Island Grill is a stellar neighborhood restaurant. The menu is large, the food is great, the service is friendly, and it's a great space to grab a bite with friends.

It's been many many moons since I last visited this place. I recall it as a great spot for…read morebreakfast/brunch and caffeinated drinks but this visit, I was a little disappointed. The last time I was here, a server took our order. However, this time, after waiting for a looooong time at our table, I discovered that all ordering should be done at the counter. I like how open and spacious the place is but the booth seats were in poor condition, with extreme cracks and peeling pleather. Also, many of the tablets were dirty and I had to get up and ask for napkins to clean up the stains. Help was very limited during this visit. The baristas were engrossed in making drinks and didn't seem very friendly or eager to help with questions. On the bright side, the young gal who brought out our food and drinks was really nice and helpful. She even offered to spray down our table and wipe it clean for us after she saw how icky it was. There's a Pick 3 toasts for $24.95 option and we chose two smoked salmon toasts and one avocado toast. They were decently good. It was a nice light meal to share between two of us. However, the quality of the drinks has declined. The strawberry matcha used to be excellent but the flavor has lost its vibrancy. I would not order it again.

This place was a hit! I was visiting from out of town and my host brought me here…read more Ambience, 10/10: the place was well kept, great music, and seemed to be well managed from the time I was there. I went on a weekend so it was busy, but it wasn't unbearable. They have a decent amount of outdoor seating which was nice. Staff, 10/10: no complaints here! They were extremely patient with me upon ordering when I had a lot of questions, even though there were people waiting behind me. They were informative, had great energy, and were also hustling to get people their orders as quickly as possible Food/Drinks, 10/10: As a vegan, coffee shops can be hit or miss, especially on the food. Having clearly labeled vegan options made it easy for me to have confidence with my choice (vegan all day). The bread was perfectly warm but not hard. Great flavor. I also asked for a matcha with strawberry puree & no foam to meet my dietary needs. It was delicious! The person I was with had no the smoked salmon avocado toast and what I recall to be the amazon cloud. She rated them both 10/10 with no hesitation. Very flavorful and refreshing. Overall this experience was 10/10 for both of us. It's a not so small coffee shop with diverse options, friendly staff, and a clean ambiance that makes me want to go back. Highly recommend.

Went to Jason's Deli today (Houston #028 / 11120 Northwest Fwy) and purchased a nutty chicken salad…read moreand a smokey jack chicken panini. The salad was fine but the panini...it had gross black grill crud on the bread and the sandwich smelled burned. I remove 2 smaller pieces of the black crud and tried to eat 1/2 of the sandwich, but that's when I noticed the smell. Went back to the table and noticed the much larger piece of crud on the other half of the sandwich. I had to call them. The manager was apologetic and is processing a refund, but told me that the grills are cleaned daily. A grill needs to be cleaned throughout the day to avoid this type of issue. I also noticed quite a bit of debris on the floor behind the counter. What further got my attention was seeing one of the workers walk down the counter way and just grabbed a big handful of lettuce and walked all the way back to her work area carrying it...not a good look from a customer's perspective. I've never had an issue at this location before and I hope they get it together soon. The service was good even though we waited longer than usual for our order.

And they mark the menu with items that can be made gluten free if they're typically not served that way (including pizzas). My girlfriend Cherry A and I started with mocktails--I loved my cucumber mint bev--along with cauli-wings and roasted root veggies (sweet potatos, carrots, potatoes). I also tried the chickpea and quinoa veggie soup--its hearty! Service was attentive. They also have a happy hour (bar only) with discounted drinks and bites.

There are unique aspects to every Common Bond location, but this "On-The-Go" out in Memorial at the…read moreMarqE ranks up there as one of my favorites. Let us count the ways: * The vibe is relaxed. So relaxed as a matter of fact, I've yet to see this place crowded on any weekday or weekend. * The WiFi is fast and reliable. This alone is why I'll end up staying here without consuming at least 3 drinks in a single sitting. * There is plenty of seating. Outdoor seating is extensive and the interior is super group friendly. * Iced lattes skew on the sweeter side, but their cold brew also gets a thumbs up. * There is a dedicated meeting room / isolated space for meetings / meetups. That's big time. * Don't feel like stopping in? There's a drive-thru. * Customer service is on point. They're fast, courteous, and super friendly. * The ventilation is right and the place is clean. Especially the bathrooms. This is a winner in terms of a coffeeshop space. I realize the vibe isn't' for everyone, but it's one of the main reasons why I'll find myself in this space more often than not.

The chicken and beef options both looked like dog food but I decided to go with the chicken because it looked less suspect. Every aspect of the bowl was atrocious, from the meat to the sauces.

Unfortunately I think this place caters here frequently...Will steer clear moving forward.

She had been there several times before and took me one morning before we went rock climbing. It ended up being the perfect breakfast before a full day of activity because it was light, refreshing, and still filling. I honestly enjoyed it so much that I went back again later that same week. The first time I visited, I ordered the monthly special for May, which was the Peach Bowl. Even though I do not think the peach flavor was strong enough for it to really feel like a peach bowl, it still tasted amazing and was easily my favorite of the two bowls I tried. The texture was super thick and comforting, and all of the flavors worked really well together. The second time, I ordered the Mamaka Bowl. Compared to the Peach Bowl, it was noticeably more watery and less flavorful overall. While I did not enjoy it quite as much, the toppings on both bowls were still excellent. Their homemade granola was seriously delicious, and all of the fruit tasted incredibly fresh. Overall, I can definitely see why this place is so popular. The ingredients tasted fresh and high quality, the bowls were refreshing without feeling too heavy, and the atmosphere made it a great spot for a quick breakfast or snack. I'll definitely be coming back, especially if they bring back the Peach Bowl.
