I stopped into Greedy Lion recently. I was already familiar with the location since it used to be a…read morewine bar, but I hadn't been back since it changed over, so I decided to check it out. Espresso Martini: 4/5 This was good! It was a little on the sweet side, but that's actually how I like my espresso martinis, so no complaints from me. I'd definitely order it again. Greedy Wings: 3/5 I really liked the yam glaze! It gave the wings a nice sweet and savory flavor. For me, though, the actual chicken needed more seasoning. It didn't taste like the wings had been brined or seasoned all the way through. I also would've loved a little more crunch on them. Give me that glaze with a well-seasoned, extra-crispy wing and we might have something! The service was great! Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and very attentive, which always makes a difference. Overall, I enjoyed my visit. The wings weren't quite a home run for me, but there was enough that I liked to make me want to come back and try some other things on the menu. I'll definitely be back!

I'll start with the positive: our waiter, Hayuhel, was very polite, attentive, and professional…read morethroughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food and overall experience were extremely disappointing. My daughter ordered the catfish sandwich, and I ordered the grilled salmon sliders. There were no other parties in the restaurant, so we expected our food to arrive quickly and freshly prepared. Instead, we waited over an hour. When my food finally arrived, the salmon sliders were severely overcooked and extremely dry. I sent them back and explained to Hayuhel how disappointed I was. To his credit, he was very receptive and handled my concerns professionally. What was most disappointing was the lack of involvement from management. There was a manager on the floor who appeared unwilling to make eye contact or take any responsibility for the excessive wait time or the poor quality of the food. Hayuhel provided excellent service, but unfortunately, the food and management's response made this a very disappointing experience.

So our normal place to go get good fried chicken closed. So we were looking for a new place that…read morewould have very crispy. Very delicious fried chicken. We looked up family style chicken so we could have chicken and some sides and be able to sit down and eat and we stumbled upon Tumble 22. Let me tell you we were not disappointed. It's here in the Heights off of Houston Avenue and Washington. And we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server Zeid (so?!) brought our new little server in training Johan and once we went over the menu and decided what we wanted to do for appetizers we ordered the heavenly deviled eggs. Do not pass that up - they are heavenly. The devil part is so good and the bacon on top absolutely delicious. And they came out right away. So we ordered the 1/2 mix. That came with a large breast and thigh and a drumstick and a wing. You get two sides with it which we ordered the collard greens and the mac & cheese. Then it came with cute little bread and butter pickles stuck on top of it. That chicken was so crispy and so hot because it came right out of the fire. And the collard greens were very good. They had turkey in them and just all kinds of stuff. The mac & cheese was really creamy very good. And it was enough for both of us to share. And it was only $17. I could not believe it. We like to always try a little bit of everything. So there are different levels of heat you can get on your chicken and we just got the regular traditional. But next time I think we're gonna try the one up with the little jalapeño in it. So then for dessert, my husband got the chocolate pecan toffee pie. And it is Chuck full of pecans and toffee and chocolate in there. It came out cold and it was delicious. I got the peanut butter chocolate mousse pie. But I got that to go, so I'll let you know later how that is, but it looked delicious. So we had a lemonade which was freshly made and tea and that large meal of chicken and sides and two desserts and our appetizer and it was only $45. . I'll tell you what if you want to have a great meal not expensive they've got kids menus that are a lot less because kids tend to waste so they're small enough that I think my grandkids would eat them with no problem. But the chicken was really good. We will definitely be back. Check them out and tell them Miss Lou sent you

The host/person, sitting our party of 4, didn't bother to ask if we wanted a booth or table. They tried to sit us right in the front at a table for 6 while there were several booths/tables for 4 available (more to come about this later). The server took our drink order (soda/water) and they couldn't remember who ordered what. The soda machine was directly behind us so they didn't have to go very far to get them. 2 of us ordered The O. G. (1 w/o mayo), the other 2 people order the Tupelo Hot Honey, and the Dive Burger. All but 1 ordered French fries the other ordered Mac and Cheese. The food came out quickly. The issue when they brought out our food is that they had a hard time letting us know which chicken sandwich was which. The person who ordered the burger was underwhelmed. They said it was good, but not anything extraordinary. They did enjoy their Mac and Cheese. As we were eating our food the host sat a couple at that table for 6 and as they were waiting on their food a larger party came in. Had the couple not offered to move they wouldn't have been able to sit the larger party. Overall, the food was great, but the service could be better. Will be back to try their grilled version of their chicken sandwiches.

Being recognized among the 25 best new restaurants in the country certainly caught our attention, and we were curious to discover what made this Houston restaurant so special. We arrived with high expectations, and I can confidently say that the experience did not disappoint. The first thing that stood out wasn't the food, but the people and the atmosphere. From the moment we walked through the door until we left, the hospitality was extraordinary. Our server, Jorge, was wonderful, but what truly impressed us was how that same level of warmth, professionalism, and attentiveness extended to the entire staff. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome, something that speaks volumes about the restaurant's commitment to hospitality. The atmosphere complemented the experience perfectly. The restaurant had a lively, welcoming energy, with great music playing at just the right volume, loud enough to enjoy but never interfering with conversation. It's those thoughtful details, combined with exceptional service, that make a dining experience truly memorable. Then came the food, and this is where the experience became even more interesting. We started with the Savory Scallion Waffle with Fried Orange Chicken, and what an incredible combination of flavors! The chicken was cooked to perfection, with a beautifully crispy exterior that reminded me of traditional Southern fried chicken. But what really elevated the dish was the orange sauce. Its sweet and tangy character complemented the savory chicken beautifully, creating a combination that felt both familiar and surprisingly different. The scallion waffle was equally impressive. It had everything a properly prepared waffle should have: a lightly crispy, golden exterior, a soft and tender interior, and plenty of flavor. What made the dish exceptional was the perfect balance between savory and sweet. The richness of the fried chicken, the sweetness and acidity of the orange sauce, and the savory notes of the waffle worked together in complete harmony. Nothing overpowered anything else. Every component complemented the others, making this a truly memorable interpretation of chicken and waffles. Next came the Chilled Noodles, a dish that immediately caught our attention because, unlike the noodle dishes we're accustomed to, these were served cold. It was an interesting change, but one that worked beautifully. The flavors were excellent, delivering everything you would expect from a great noodle dish, with the ginger and scallion adding a wonderful savory character. However, what really stood out to both of us were the pieces of pickled shiitake mushrooms. Their earthy, rich flavor, combined with a subtle tanginess, added an unexpected dimension to the noodles. It's amazing how one ingredient can elevate an entire dish, and in this case, the mushrooms did exactly that. What initially seemed like an unusual choice turned into another pleasant surprise. Of course, no brunch would be complete without a couple of good cocktails, so we ordered a Mimosa and a Bloody Mary. Both were very good, but the Mimosa particularly stood out. It was well prepared, refreshing, and had a generous pour of alcohol. They certainly didn't skimp on the champagne! It had just the right balance of flavor and strength, making it clear that Agnes & Sherman takes its cocktails just as seriously as its food. A great complement to an already excellent brunch. Just when we thought we had experienced all the culinary surprises of the afternoon, dessert arrived. We ordered the Pandan Nice Cream Sundae, and this was probably our most unexpected discovery. Nice cream is a plant-based alternative to traditional ice cream, and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from a vegan frozen dessert. To our surprise, it was incredibly flavorful, wonderfully light, and refreshing. The pandan brought a delicate, distinctive flavor that made the dessert feel different from a traditional ice cream sundae. It was satisfying without feeling heavy or overly rich, making it the perfect way to finish brunch. Definitely a pleasant surprise and something we would happily order again. The restaurant was packed during brunch, so I would strongly recommend making a reservation in advance. Also, be prepared for a little challenge when it comes to parking. There was no valet service available, and finding street parking can be difficult, especially during busy hours. My advice is to arrive a little early and allow yourself extra time to find a spot. Looking back at our visit, what impressed me most was how everything came together. The extraordinary hospitality made us feel welcome from beginni

Gotta give shoutout to the decor and ambiance. It's super cozy. Probably weird to say but I loved the tiles in the hallway to restroom. So the food. Outside of the novelty the flavors are just ok. It's cool to have these Asian twists to western food but nothing really wowed me. Even tho it's popular I'd say pass on the chicken and waffles. The butter was delicious and the waffle was crispy but I'd rather have a regular scallion pancake. And the orange chicken was like any other. Think I prefer the smaller crispier pieces u get at other places. They do give u good amount of meat tho since it whole thigh. The best thing was the shrimp toast. It's like honey walnut shrimp but with toast. They have a layer of shrimp mousse and the sauce on top of toast. Unique way to serve a classic flavor. The hamburger fried rice was solid. Like a Big Mac but fried rice. My mom said it tasted like Zatarin dirty rice. Not bad but yeah I'd give it another shot to try their brunch menu which looks better and has more options. But first impression is that it's alright. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. And it's out of my way so I doubt I'd go again.

The menu is exceptionally well-curated, hitting that sweet spot of what Houston does best. comfort, creativity, and just enough flair to keep things interesting. The space matches the vibe: modern and minimalist with a subtle Chip-and-Joanna-Gaines touch. The drink menu is just as thoughtful. Even the well spirits are solid. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs topped with maple pork belly, easily some of the creamiest I've ever had. Do not split an order. Everyone at the table should get their own. For the entrée, I went with the Sunday enchiladas made with Killen's famous brisket. Smoke, salt, pepper and exactly what you want from a dish like this. It typically comes with Mexican rice and refried beans, but the rice was running behind during my visit, so I swapped in scrambled eggs (it was brunch) no complaints. They were simple buttery, creamy and just damn delicious. peach bread pudding that was downright decadent. Easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Make you wanna slap yo momma.

May have also been because we booked a reservation 30 minutes before closing but the food was either not hot enough or not cold enough. Flavor profiles didn't live up to the hype. I asked the waiter which to choose: the oysters or wagyu tartare, and he said the oysters. Got them and they were soooo tiny i felt like I paid for just some oily herb & shallot droppings served in a half shell. I know the meat of the oysters can be small but it was pathetic. I ended up getting the tartare and that was the better choice compared to the oysters. Our waiter seemed like he was in a rush while taking care of us and didn't even say why oysters over wagyu. SN: Late August had an Ethiopian-based beef tartare that is to die for so my benchmark may be too high. I still dream about their kitfo. The chilled sesame noodles had no chill by the time they made it to the table. Fried chicken probably tastes great fresh out of the grease but nothing about the seasoning made me want to write home about it. We ordered the green curry only to be told after the fact that they ran out so that was a bummer.
