    Jumbo Shrimp Stuffed Jalapeos
    Diem A.

    King Ranch has a large menu but nothing we had really stood out. The brisket queso was flavorful. The shrimp-stuffed jalapeños were just okay. The filling was fine, but the fried batter was too thick for my taste. The blackened fish was disappointing. It was extremely buttery and not cooked evenly. The ends were flaky, but the center was tough and undercooked. The green beans were delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was friendly and attentive, but the noise level at lunchtime was very loud and made conversation difficult. Not recommended for a business lunch. The decor was very country ranch style.

    I was a little disappointed with my experience here. Upon sitting at our table, there were kids at another table walking on the seats, parents couldn't have cared less about what they were doing! Meal started out good, we ordered the brisket queso, it was good. I got the Nilgai with sweet corn and my wife got the 12" ribeye. I didn't understand why her ribeye was so thin, he'll the Roadhouse ribeyes are cut much thicker! However she enjoyed the baked potato she got. I, however got the Nilgai, this came with only two small medallions, one was chewy, the other was tender. Got them medium rare. I would have served three medallions and had done the. In a whiskey finish! However the apple pie dessert I got was lack luster! The apple pie was as cold ad the ice cream served on top of it! A bit disappointing don't they have ovens to warm the apple pie? Being that it was my first time eating there I was disappointed! Sad overall! I would give it 2 stars out of 5!

    Our 1st time here and definitely not impressed at all with the food. The restaurant ambiance is nice. Service was Ok but the food is not. We had the lunch menu . The briskets were the worse we had in all the place we ate. Meat was so chewy that at the 1st bite , we already didn't want to eat more. The fried chicken steak was ok not the best in town for sure and ran out of smashed potatoes at 12pm that's not good. Overall not impressed at all.

    Master Cowboy Gabe is fantastic!!!!!! Walking in King Ranch and being greeted by this King Cowboy felt like I was in a western Hollywood movie. Gabe delivered style, grace, and country southern hospitality with the best memorable service. My birthday boy enjoyed the shredded beef sandwich. Next time he'll know to request to hold the onions. The presentation was beautiful nonetheless. He really complimented the homemade 7season fries which were very good even though they are not crispy. They're great! King Kam says this is where he plans to utilize his birthday rewards every year. So see you guys next time.

    Lovely service and great food. Had the king ranch chicken enchilada casserole and it was fabulous. The bread basket was heavenly. Especially if you take the pretzel with the queso. So good. Super enjoyable.

    We were happy they were open on Christmas. We arrived at 5:20 and seated at 5:30. Our server appeared to be busy. He told us he would be back. We ordered a pineapple margarita and brisket queso. The dip was served hot on skillet. It was creamy and delicious. We ordered the 3 meat platter to share with a side of creamed street corn. The food on the platter wasn't hot but the corn was served hot on a skillet. We told the server and he told the manager. The manager said he would ask them to remake it. We said it's not a big deal, we know they are busy. He insisted on taking it and the food came back out shortly with an even better presentation. Yes, it was served hot! The ribs were tender, and slightly charred and really good. We ordered a huge slice of carrot cake to-go. It was also tasty and topped off with candied pecans. The food was good but the service was a little slow. We will go back on a non-holiday day and order the same exact food!

    Loved going to this TX concept restaurant. Everything was so delicious. The pineapple margarita was chef's kiss! We started with the brisket queso and bread basket. The queso was fabulous. I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. I also had the Brussels sprouts that were so tasty. For dessert my husband and I shared the pecan crème brûlée with peaches. It was so good! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy and quiet. We will definitely return again!

    There were many mixed reviews so I was hesitant to dine here. But nice surprise the four of us enjoyed our meal very much! The staff was welcoming and our server Avery was top notch! We had steaks and fish and the complimentary bread basket that included pretzel rolls were all delicious! Extra points for free and easy parking.

    After using another one of my favorite apps to discover what restaurants were open on Easter Sunday,I came back to Yelp to see the reviews and decided on King Ranch Texas Kitchen. Reservations were made via Open Table, which were valid when my Mom and I arrived. In fact, we were a little early because my Pastor wanted to enjoy his Easter dinner too evidently,and had us out before noon! Taking my time driving there and not even getting on the highway, we arrived 15 minutes early for the reservation, but we were greeted and the hostess went to see if we could be seated early. Thanks for that because I was famished! The inside reminds me of Saltgrass, but a little more Texan. Since it is a Landry's affiliate (didn't find that out until the end of the meal), the look and feel of Saltgrass makes sense, but think Texas Tycoon Saltgrass. The waitstaff wear cowboy gear from head to toe. Maybe it was just for Easter- but hey it really partnered well with the aesthetic of the restaurant, which has a rustic, western feel. The menu reflects my description as you have some southern favorities like country fried steak and but also salmon dishes. Really, the vast menu items I saw online drew me into choose KRT. However, on Easter Sunday, there was a limited menu. I asked our server, Devon about this and he confirmed that the menu is limited to help the kitchen out since they have a Easter buffet they make available for patrons. I'm usually not a fan of buffets, but this one has every ranch animal you think of along with the creatures of the water! From prime rib to boiled shrimp and fried catfish to mac n cheese and green beans, this buffet has two rooms- one for the main entree choices and another for dessert. 50 plus bucks yes but an opportunity to taste everything from the KRT Menu, its worth a try! Boiled shrimp was probably my favorite because theywere HUGE- as big as my fist! Way worth the peeling, not too salty, clean, and juicy! I alao enjoyed the wedge salad, which was crisp and came with just enough drizzle of dressing. I tried the mac and cheese as well which was packed with cheese and a great compliment to the fried catfish, which could have been crispier but I think this was due to it not being served right away from the kitchen and laying in the buffet table. Once more, the green beans were seasoned to perfection, reminding me of my auntie Vs- and that's saying a whole lot! Somebody in KRT's kitchen knows how to throw doooown, and they wanted us to not leave a crumb when we left! The only negative is that you can't take leftovers from a buffet home. Sad face, but I still had a whole room to check out! I was pretty full after eating one plate (ops forgot about that plate of boiled shrimp lol) but I had to try the dessert room. Anything you could think of was lined up perched and ready for devouring by patrons. From cookies to cobblers, complete with ice cream, you could certainly satisfy you sweet tooth at this buffet! Once more, I loved that all the desserts were made by a local baker. Everything waa fresh and certainly tempting to try but with only 1 stomach that was already pretty full, I only could muster trying out the cheery cobbler, which was just okay to me. Not really a cherry cobbler fan, so my bias probably got to me, but the the chocolate chip cookies can never be turned down by me and it was delicious! My Mom's meal was exceptional as well from her feedback. She went with the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. I insisted she order another side to balance out the meal, so she decided on asparagus. She loved the freshness of the spears and they were seasoned quite well too. You can't do potatoes wrong unless you really try, but she received a glob of them that made for a great doggy bag compliment to her chicken fried steak that she at half of. It too was huge in portion size and thankful, not overly coated with breading and allowed the steak to shine as it was tender and could be cut with a fork. This was a great little restautant away from the hustle and bustle of The Galleria Mall,,but close enough to the area in case its your hood and you don't want to venture too far out. For me, I would certainly come.back just to access the normal business hour menu and ensure the food quality matches what was presented on Easter Sunday, but certainly a great find to Yelp about! Certainly a great stop for some comfort food worth the itis any day of the week.

    Country Fried Chicken + Crispy Brussel Sprouts
    Erin W.

    I was sat without having to wait which is always a plus dining in Houston on the weekend. Our server was super sweet and very attentive! The restaurant itself was nice, clean, and not loud inside. I ordered an Espresso Martini, definitely on the stronger side 7/10. The South Texas Quail is the perfect starter, something about the sauce is addicting! The quail was cooked perfectly and I wouldn't have changed anything about it 12/10 so so good! I got the Country Fried Chicken and Crispy Brussel Sprouts as my entrée and it was okay. The country fried chicken was a bit salty and the crispy brussel sprouts were a little dry 6/10. The Carrot Cake was MASSIVE and pretty good 8/10. Overall I feel like it's overpriced for what you're getting and there are much better dining options in Houston, so for that reason I wouldn't go back.

Located in River Oaks area, very elegant classy decor, a great interior to celebrate any special occasion. Service was good, no complaints there. Food however, was not up to par. Not worth the price. I ordered the Filet mignon and it was good but Perry's steak is better flavor wise. The sides were the most disappointing of all. The whipped Boursin potatoes are almost identical to boxed mashed potatoes. The macaroni and cheese was identical to boxed or velveeta. The red velvet dessert was ok, a bit too sweet and seems more like the frozen chocolate lava cakes you except red velvet. I couldn't believe it, I never thought I would have this kind of review but it is the honest truth. I will not be back here. It is not worth the hype.
