If looking for a quick, clean spot to pick up some food roll into Island Grill! Needed a breakfast bite so I ordered up one chorizo and one bacon breakfast taco. Tacos were very tasty and fresh with great tasting ingredients. I liked them so much I went the next day. And I'll be back again before we leave town. Nice people, fast service. read more

I visited this restaurant in City Place one week night and found it to be fairly busy. Unfortunately I had just eaten Mediterranean food the night before so I was worried I would only see similar food. Actually, they have a good size menu and have some American options along with juices and smoothies so It made ordering easy. They also have a full bar with several cocktails and mocktails. Inside right when you enter is the actual bar with about 6 seats which were full with customers during my entire visit. Their happy hour ends at 6pm, but I arrived at 7pm so I ended up missing the discounted drinks. I ordered the cod and shrimp pita which ended up being slightly different than the regular gyro. I had to set it down after a couple of bites since the wheat pita bread is much thinner than regular pita bread and it kept falling apart on me. I also added a mango mojito. With a name like Island Grill, I sort of expected to see more tropical drinks or rum-based cocktails show up on the menu, but this was about the only one. Overall, my experience was okay, but I don't know if it was good enough for me to return. read more

We stopped by Island Grill in Spring and overall had a solid experience. The area has plenty of parking around them, which made it easy to get in and out. You walk up to the counter to order and then find your own seat inside. Service was just so-so. The cashier wasn't very personable, and we noticed the owner getting into a minor argument with another customer while we were there. Nothing inappropriate or over the top, but it did knock the service outlook down a bit for us. We ordered the mixed kebab plate, which had really great flavor -- the meats were well-seasoned and tasty. The Philly cheesesteak was decent but nothing over the top. We also tried the lavender lemonade, though it was basically unmixed syrup sitting at the bottom of the cup, which was a little disappointing. On the positive side, they offer free frozen yogurt on the way out, which was a nice touch so we didn't have to pay for dessert. They also have a full bar, and there's plenty of seating in the restaurant. The vibe inside is nice and vibrant. We'll probably come back if we're in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way just for this spot. A good four-star experience overall. read more

12/19/25 around 8:40 PM. I arrived to pick up a to-go order and stood directly at the front counter while three employees were arguing with each other about a tip on another order and a lost credit card. I was not acknowledged, spoken to, or even made eye contact with for approximately five minutes despite being directly in front of them. Eventually one employee asked for my name, handed me the food, and immediately turned away. No greeting, no thank you, no confirmation of the order. After leaving, I realized a drink that I paid for was missing from the order. This was unprofessional, poorly managed, and reflects a lack of basic service training. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this location. read more

Didn't know what to expect due to the slightly strange area of The Woodlands this is in, a lot of corporate but sort of open spaces and not much else around this particular street. However it is right across from the hotel I'm staying at the Marriott CityPlace so decided to try it out. Thrilled I did. Offering a bright welcoming atmosphere, not busy at all so surprised at the size of the place, assuming it gets busy during hotel conferences, love the "island vibes" chairs and lights... on to the food they offer a gluten free pita which the employee suggest led I try instead of a smaller corn tortilla for my breakfast taco. Very good, has a slight rosemary flavor which it appears to have in it. I also ordered an NA strawberry mint refresher. SO.GOOD. Gorgeous bar with three small TVs. Just a really beautiful open lots of light restaurant. Nice and welcoming employees. Counter service. I'll probably return tomorrow. read more

I had a craving for a gyro so I got on Yelp to search for the goods. I landed on Island Grill. When I walked in, the place seemed a mix of trendy and "cafe-ey." Of course I ordered the gyro. When the food came out, I was so disappointed. The gyro clearly came from a package - from a restaurant supply. My preference is gyro that is freshly sliced from a vertical rotisserie - sliced thin with a slight char. All of the gyro was pretty much equal in size and shape. The tzatziki was also a bit liquidy for my taste. Overall, I was not a fan. While the staff was polite, I was pretty turned off by the default gratuity options when paying. It started with 18% and went up from there. Not a big deal when dining, but the customer must order at the counter, they must get their own drinks and refills, so that default tip setting didn't make sense to me. There are more authentic options in the area. Not a fan. read more

I love this place. It's funny, since it's not a "nice" or "high end" Mediterranean joint, but it succeeds perfectly at what it aims to be: a quicker, easier alternative to a serious Mediterranean outing that still tastes fresh and well made, is priced fairly, and comes with great service. While literally everyone I've dealt with here is great, Allison is my person. She was tending bar the first time I visited, which was... early 2024, I think? Now I know she does it all, literally. Take orders, wait tables, sling cocktails, clean at the end of her shift... And she does it with a great attitude and customer-centered mindset. She rocks. My regular go-to's are an avocado chicken pita pocket thing, a protein shake, and avocado toast (add egg and feta). Not at all once, of course - each is plenty on its own. And the bar!! Ah, the bar. For a chill, order-up-front-&-take-a-number place, this place has a GREAT bar! Great cocktails. Seriously. I recommend the old fashioned, espresso martini (which I rarely recommend anywhere), and the paloma is pretty good, too. Decent little wrap-around patio, too. I met the "Area Director," Amir, a couple of times, too - cool dude. Fresh, fast, good service, friendly people, family owned and operated. Get some! read more

Was looking for a quick protein boost after a workout. This restaurant caught my eye because they had a signboard that indicated they serve wild codfish. It was unusual to find a fish pita at a Mediterranean restaurant, especially a good quality white fish. I stood in line and ordered the Wild Codfish Pita with a side of tzaziki sauce and garlic sauce. It took a while for the order to arrive. The Codfish Pita was fresh, wholesome and healthy. The tzaziki and garlic sauce lifted the flavors of the fish pita. The portion was average. The place was almost full but it was still possible to find a high table. Ambiance was OK. The place was bright and large with many tables. The area has limited fish options so I am supportive of the restaurant's offering of wild Codfish. Hope other restaurants start offering more quality fish on the menu. They offer a complimentary serving of yogurt ice cream which was more sweet than tart. It was a good complement to the meal. read more

We came here towards the end of happy hour and ordered the hummus & veggie. Food is made fresh! So don't come during lunch! We came towards dinner time and waited a bit longer - but it was sooo worth the wait! The food is absolutely delicious! I had the lamb gyro! My husband had the short ribs with double veggies in place of mash potatoes. Woww... super moist! Highly recommend! read more

Came in for weekend lunch. Seating was easy but the food did take about 30-40 minutes to arrive because it was busy. No problem, understandable. Gyro Rice Plate - $18 The gyro meat is not the traditional thinly slice meat from a rotating spit. The meat was way too thick and it had a different consistency than what I'm used to. The seasoning was just okay. The rest of the plate was just a random pile of stir fried vegetables that was overcooked and overly soggy. Mix Kabob Plate - $21 Mix Kabob Plate's meat quantity was very miniscule compared to its $21 price tag. The beef was cooked medium well and dry, and the chicken was really dry as well. Meats were way too tough to finish. The garlic sauce was really good, though! The saving grace really was the complimentary soft serve at the end. Not as good as fast food soft serve but still was a nice touch. The ratings are high so I'm convinced I came on an off-day. I came expecting 4.3* Mediterranean food. Left without finishing all my food but was happy with the soft serve. read more

I went here for dinner with my family and the place was ehh... the salmon pita was lacking flavor and my lemon drop was tart with no sugar rim. 3 entrees, an appetizer, 1 alcohol drink and kids meal was over $100. Very pricey in my opinion and I did not think the food was amazing. The service was OK. I went am hope before closing so everyone seemed like they just wanted to go home. I wouldn't come back to this place. There def are better options for greek food. read more

According to the website Island Grill is open till 9 PM tonight, I walked a mile to have dinner at the restaurant and was informed that it was closing at 7:30 pm.

Glad I was finally able to try out this place! With so many good places in the Houston area, sometimes we take for granted new places, but also want to support the places that we like so they stay in business. So when the bakery I usually frequent across the street was full, I decided instead of waiting or trying to maneuver the inside of the bakery with 3 young children alone, to go over here because they had halal meat (chicken and gyro options). I was really happy that we were able to find close parking on the street but we usually park a little further down in the parking lot behind all the buildings when we visit city place. I heard that there is free parking in a garage nearby but I did not see any free parking in a garage; the only parking garage I saw had a sign that it was employees only. I saw a picture of what I wanted online and went with the Mediterranean plate which I have to say-- is pricey for the amount of food that you get. I expected it to be larger or for this price (almost $20) I expected it to cost less. Either or. The children options are really nice, they got the basics things, my kids were able to get the small pizza and a halal chicken meal that they enjoyed. I liked that they had a couple of different types of teas to try (ginger peach and black current) because it gets boring to only just have a sweet or unsweet tea option at restaurants. I tried the cookie that you get with the children's meal, and it are really yummy, I regretted not purchasing a few of those separately. We especially love the fact that they had frozen yogurt for a sweet treat after the meal. The inside of the place was very aesthetic looking and we are looking forward to visiting again soon. read more

I would compare Island Grill to a fast food version of a Mediterranean restaurant and this is not a slight just my observation. The food is decent, you can get a free ice cream cone with your visit and they offer a small bar for the patrons who frequent City Place. On this visit was a slight mistake (maybe), but watch the cash register when you food total rings up; my bill was approximately $42.18 and when the three blocks for Tips came up the one for 10% came out to $6.18. I am still scratching my head on that one. read more

An impressive restaurant right across the street from the Marriott City place. They serve a wide variety of foods starting with many different kinds of omelettes for breakfast. They have quite a few salads for lunch and they have a vegetarian selection including falafels. The best part is they have fresh fruit smoothies made to order. Service sufficient and the food was very fresh. To top it off they have free frozen yogurt. Yum. read more

The food is good... the service is absolutely terrible. Don't order by doordash or any other pickup and drop off food services. They do not protect the food. They don't even tie the bag. No stickers closing the food for safety. If the driver who drops off the food is unhonest they can mess with or eat your food. Also several times my order was wrong and when I called they'd say I bagged your order it had everything. So again if you want to eat that food unfortunately you have to grab the food yourself check if the food they gave is correct. Unbelievable inconvenience read more

Some Mediterranean flare to the Springwood's Village area. Can't say I really took advantage of their offerings this go but I definitely intend on coming back; even if my tastings were light and not even leaning toward their specialties. They have a pretty extensive menu offering breakfast, lunch, dinner along either fresh pressed juices, smoothies, espresso & a full bar. They are bound to have something that you fancy. My trip was pretty late so I opted for light fan fare of Soup & Pita $7.50 - tomato basil was my choice. Great hearty soup with soft, fresh pita slices. They have plenty of seating options to hold a good crowd. This is another great option within walking distance from CityPlace Marriot. read more

Really great find tucked into City Centre near The Woodlands! We went for happy hour and loved their deals on food/drinks. The Margherita pizza was a bit on the simple side, but we really enjoyed it. The falafel bites were really good and the hummus was enjoyable. I loved the Sangria and their drink menu was fairly extensive. There is street parking available and lots to walk to after finishing at Island Grill. This is a great spot if you're staying in City Centre or visiting Spring/The Woodlands. The service was quick and our bartender was friendly. The ambiance at the bar was nice, however the main dining area itself felt fairly generic. This is a great spot for a quick bite or to grab happy hour! read more

I come here for breakfast and lunch almost once a week while I'm in the office working. I love their spread and the serving sizes are good! They have an established staff so it's a dedicated team to provide you great service. Some of them know me by name because I place in mobile orders before I come so I don't have to wait. They have tons of seating along with charging ports in case you need to work with a laptop. I love the feel of this place and it's good food with great service. They also have a full service bar in case you want to get a drink afterwork too! read more

I ordered pizza to go and we thought it was super good. Great location plenty of off street parking and it was free. read more

What has happened to this place? The food is average at best, the staff seems overworked and unhappy, and the faucet in the men's bathroom has not worked in 3 weeks. I hope they don't have any male employees. This was a hidden gem and we were always amazed more people weren't enjoying it, things seemed to pick up, and then they have just dropped off to the point we are done. Truly sad because they are in a spot where they should be killing it, but just not happening there anymore. read more

The parking is very limited out front, I believe there is a parking garage in the strip center. They have plenty of seating, bar seating and patio as well. You do have to order at the counter and seat yourself, then they bring your food to you. That part was a little confusing because they didn't have anything that said "order here" if they did we didn't see it. I wanted a strawberry margarita on the rocks, but they were unsure if they could make it which I found odd so I settled for the frozen. I'm not a big fan of Mediterranean food, but this pita was sooo good!!! The pita was crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. The chicken was very flavorful and the veggies were fresh!! The hubby cleaned his plate like I had been starving him . Both drinks were good no complaints there. We will be back so I can expand my palate as there were some other tasty items on the menu I want to try! read more

I had higher expectations for the food based on reviews. The environment was lively and the place was busy. Service was very good as well. I got the falafel plate.

Sadly just called (5/26/2025 12:24pm) and Re verified twice. They use MSG in almost ALL their food. Why do they need to if it's all fresh. Cava doesn't. Kebob place up in Willis, Texas does not. Must have to use for processed long shelf life. read more
