Everything was very good. From the greeting to the end. Very professional waitstaff. They attended to all our needs with our party of 10. They were very busy and the noise level was moderate in my opinion. Overall, a very successful evening. We had Sean as our server and he did a very good job and was very personable with all our group. We all had different dishes and I have pictured them below. I highly recommend this place. We had the quail appetiser as well but no pictures got taken....the were gobbled up to fast. read more

My husband and I dined at the restaurant today for the Christmas buffet. We sat at the bar and Raven and Melvin gave top notch service! The grilled pineapple margarita is a must! It was refreshing and tasty! The buffet did not disappoint either. There was an array of appetizers, meats, sides, and desserts. My husband opted for the tomahawk with Brussel sprouts and it was amazing too! We will definitely be back! read more

I have heard so many great things about King Ranch so I was super excited to try it out. The ambiance was great. It is definitely what you would expect in a very Texan establishment. There was ample parking. I ubered bc I was intending to have a couple of drinks. If you are interested in just having one drink, parking should not be a problem. The service was a solid 3/5 and this is why. I have an allergy to poultry and eggs. I ordered grilled salmon and that was my expectation. I got a glazed salmon and my server didn't know whether there was poultry or egg in the glaze. I had to request the server to go back to the kitchen and inquire what the glaze/sauce on the salmon was. The salad was amazing!! Great olive to salad ratio...olives are why I love Greek salads... until I bit into the iceberg lettuce and experienced a mouthful of chunky gritty and grainy stuff. This was not a pleasant experience! I absolutely love all things lettuce so I left it for last as you can see from my second pic. This was both the best and worst decision of the night. Eating dirty produce is really not a pleasant experience This would have been a 5/5 recommendation were it not for the service and the dirt in the lettuce. I will definitely recommend and return for drinks during a happy hour. read more

We came here with a party of 7. We made a reservation for an early dinner and were seated immediately. Our waiter Shaun(sp) was friendly and thorough-he kept the refills coming for water and sweet tea and he explained the menu well. Everyone ordered something different and everyone enjoyed their food. My steak was cooked at the perfect medium temperature. Those who had the fries and potatoes loved them and the brussels also had rave reviews. Mac and cheese was so-so.The desserts were humongous but that didn't stop me from eating all of mine (State Fair) would have loved to try the German Chocolate cake but it was not on the menu when we dined so be warned the online menus aren't always up to date. Would return again. read more

The brisket queso was AMAZING. I highly recommend it. We also go the bread basket, it was good. I was not a fan of the Mac and cheese and my steak was so dry. BUT my husband loved the bbq plate and the Brussels sprouts. Waitress, not super friendly. read more

Called to make a reservation for thanksgiving at 1pm they said no problem. They called to confirm 4 times three days before. We confirmed full party would be there. Got there 10 minutes before reservation and was told it would be a 45 minute wait and another 45 minutes to make it to the front of the buffet. They over committed the reservations clearly and we had to go somewhere else. read more

Been here twice. Last year the Christmas buffet was pretty good. The service was questionable, but they got it figured out Thanksgiving 2024: what a joke. They sat us for a 5:30 reservation for the buffet. They took our money for the buffet, gave us the wrist bands at 5:40 and the only after we got our first plate did they tell us the buffet closed at 6:00! Service was absolutely terrible, even for a holiday. They cleared our drinks while we were getting the buffet the first time, including two glasses of wine that had not even had a drink out of them yet. We finally got those replaced after a 10 minute wait to get the waiter and another 15 minute wait to get the wine. The buffet itself was pretty picked over, with many items out or down to the dregs. Through the entire thing, not one apology. What a dreadful experience. read more

Had lunch at King Ranch Texas Kitchen twice. First visit I had their BBQ lunch plate with brisket. The brisket was a bit over cooked, but the flavor was there. Second time I had the smoked chicken lunch plate with jambalaya rice. Chicken was cooked well and was not dry. The jambalaya rice was seasoned well. We also had the bread basket, which came with biscuits, cornbread, and pretzels. So so yummy. Colleagues had salads and enchiladas, which they enjoyed. Great place for lunch. Have not been there for dinner. Lunch does get busy. Parking: Sufficient surface parking. read more

Great Texas style restaurant, Texas, food, Texas ambience, Texas size cocktails,?Texas, charm! You won't be hungry when you leave this place! Their menu is terrific with lots to offer and their portions are huge. Their drinks are delicious. And the ambience is Texas style. Dress is casual...But you'll feel like a cowboy/cowgirl when you leave! Parking is easy right in front and around the restaurant. Located in the galleria area. Perfect location for shopping and dining. Parking is free. The restaurant is large and you can make reservations on OpenTable. Did I mention the desserts? They are spectacular! Always a favorite place for me to meet my friends when I go back home to visit! The weight staff is always friendly and fun making your visit there extra special! read more

Food always yummy which makes up for the service. It has a very Texan pleasant down home ambiance.

The food and ambiance were excellent ! Worst service in my life. It appears that the bartender was our waiter. The restaurant was 90 % empty, but thought out the entire service he had a scowl on his face. Never once smiled or acknowledged a thank you from us. Made for a very disturbing experience. It was shocking, it was as we deeply offended him and to top it off he never said a word. I expected a "Your welcome". But it never came. It did notice he smiled at a woman customer sitting at the bar. read more

Jah was very attentive and helpful definitely will be asking for him next time I come

Devon was an outstanding server! Perfect service and a fabulous personality! Food was amazing...would highly recommend King Ranch! read more

Princess made our first King Ranch Texas Kitchen experience memorable! She gave her honest opinions about recommendations, which we appreciated. She was sweet, attentive, and kind the moment we walked in the door. Superb service! read more

Came here for a Sunday brunch after hearing all the great reviews and I'm so glad we did! We made a reservation and upon entering were immediately greeted by smiling staff! Our server EJ was out of this world great! He had a great personality and gave great recommendations on the food! We tried the calamari which was served up on a bed of fried onions and peppers and it was perfectly seasoned, crispy and had some great sauces on the side. My son got the French toast with bacon and grits, and they were just as good! French toast was just enough sweet, bacon crispy just like we like it, and the grits!!! I'm a lover of grits and it's hard to find a restaurant that does them well, and they hands down for that in the bag! I got the sirloin with a loaded baked potato and it was cooked just to my liking, medium rare, and it was paired great with each bite of that yummy potato! I wanted to try dessert but we were stuffed, so next time we'll have to get dessert first! read more

Loved this place! The ambiance was very country but it fit the restaurant perfectly. The server was friendly and attentive till the end then we had to ask for our own check/refills. This was my first time trying this place. The Caesar salad was delicious and they give you complementary bread. We ordered a barbecue platter and split it and we even had enough food for leftovers. I will be going back to try more items off the menu. read more

We had a great brunch out to celebrate a birthday. Andrew was our server and he accommodated our table of 14. We didn't have to wait long for neither our food nor our condiments and he did everything on his own. Andrew was very knowledgeable of the menu, but also giving his advice on popular dishes. All around a great experience and we will definitely be back! read more

First time at King Ranch and the food was delicious - plenty of available seating on a Saturday night and Randi took great care of us!

Decent steakhouse in Galleria area. We had dinner for 30 in a meeting room in the restaurant. The menu was prearranged and had a decent set of choices. I had a 6oz filet which was nicely cooked. The side dishes were served family style and included green beans seasoned really well, and some of the best macaroni and cheese I've had in Texas. I'll definitely be going back as an independent diner so I can sample the larger menu. read more

Excellent restaurant, the food, service and ambience are all on par to give you a perfect dining experience.

We were looking for a good steak restaurant but most didn't open until 4. This was one of the few steakhouses that was open around lunch time so we decided to check it out. Upon entering, it reminded me of Saltgrass. There weren't a lot of customers so we were seated right away. We got the queso appetizer, Steak salad, and steak entree with 2 sides. Only complaint was that the steak was supposed to be well done and they brought it out medium so we had to wait for them to cook it some more. Our waiter British was attentive and polite. Overall it was really good. read more

I haven't been to this spot since Willie G's occupied this building. I've always been curious to try King Ranch, and the opportunity finally popped up. I met a group of folks there for brunch, we agreed that we'll need to schedule a dinner there in 2024. This review is for brunch, I may update it with thoughts on dinner once that happens. We arrived around 11am, so for a bit we were the only diners in the establishment. I ordered the Texas Peach Tea and it was delightful. We ordered the jalapeño shrimp for an appetizer, and it was quite flavorful. Would definitely order them on a subsequent visit. I asked the server which was more popular with customers.....French Toast or Avocado Toast, she stated the former was more popular so French Toast it was! Food arrived in a timely manner. I had concerns about the dish being overly sweet with the caramel all over, but those concerns were put to rest as soon as I took my first bite. The flavors on it were well-balanced. The sweetness of the French toast paired quite well with the savoriness of the bacon. Overall, we had a great experience, customer service was on point and our group looks forward to planning a dinner there in 2024. read more

The Food was great! Our sever Andrew was amazing! It was my daughter's birthday and Andrew's service was top tier!

Was excited to take my parents to this restaurant and was very disappointed. service was slow on a Friday night and the restaurant was not overly crowded. I ordered the bbq plate and this restaurant is known for its menu well they were out of brisket of all items! That's like going to a steakhouse and the restaurant informing me they are out of steaks !! overall not a good experience! Do not recommend this restaurant. Rudy's bbq maybe a better option or pappas bbq read more

I came here for a Saturday brunch. I had the Houston restaurant week menu. The decor of the place is pretty interesting. The food was good apart from the steak soup was a bit salty. The service was a little slow which was a bit disappointed. It didn't look that busy but some of ppl in my table waited long tome for their food and drinks. Over all its a cool place to visit when your are around. read more

King Ranch Texas Kitchen is one of our go-to spots for a reason. The food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere has that perfect blend of Texas charm and comfort, and the service is always top-notch. We've made it a regular spot for our family, and every visit has been great. A special shoutout to Randi--her service is always warm, attentive, and truly makes the experience even better. If you're in the area, definitely check it out! read more

Can I just say I've never had a waiter, so attentive and thoughtful..... I used to work for saltgrass.... And have watched the quality of servers slowly dwindle into the abyss of not caring.... Skyler my waitress, Needs to be cloned and placed in every landry's restaurant ‍ read more

The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I loved the brisket empanadas, Chopped brisket sandwich, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and green beans. For the bread basket, I recommend asking only for the pretzels, ad the biscuit and cornbread were both pretty dry and flavorless. The space isn't *super* wheelchair friendly when it comes to the layout of the tables, so I would recommend calling ahead to let them know a special area is needed. read more

Excellent service from Andrew. The ribeye was scrumptious, along with the asparagus and mushrooms. would definitely recommend King Ranch.

Visited during lunch and I loved this meal. There wasn't a long wait to be seated or for our food. The fries are a bit spicy but overly spicy. It Definitely has a Texas feel inside and the temperature was cool and comfortable. Our server was awesome and funny. Will definitely stop in again for lunch. read more
