    Buttermilk Waffles, Turkey Link
    Kizito N.

    WOULD recommend (brunch). Came by on Sunday afternoon for brunch with a decent size group. They have a parking garage where you can get validated parking for 2 hours, just FYI. We were sat relatively quick, I would put reservation for this place if I were you, but when we came it wasn't too busy. We were sat and was greeted by our server, Fabian. The vibe was very nice, had the R&B jams in the background but wasn't overly loud to where you can't converse. It was a beautiful sunny day outside and it reflected all throughout the large windows of the restaurant. A+ for the ambiance. We started off with mimosa carafes for the table, great blend of juice and champagne. No complaints at all about the mimosas. He started us with a round of biscuits, with butter & jelly on the side. Would give it overall rating of 8.5/10, I actually liked them they weren't too sweetened like other biscuits. For food, I ordered the Buttermilk Waffles, turkey links, and side of Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. The food was good, above average in my opinion. The buttermilk waffles weren't overly crisp but still had nice warm flavor (8.7/10), turkey links were satisfactory (8.1/10), and the mac & cheese was above average as well, not out of this world but pretty good nonetheless (8.0/10). In my opinion, I give this restaurant a 5-stars, not just because of the food (4 stars), but just the overall experience. The ambiance was great, our server was hilarious, kept us entertained the entire time, and they were convenient nonetheless. They do 20% auto-gratuity as well. Was a calmer brunch with a good vibe, something that is very underrated in a city like Houston. I would recommend this place if you have older adult family in town or if you want an experience more... "demure" for a Sunday. I heavily recommend you ask for Fabian as well, very good server for us.

    Customer service was top-tier. Trev & Christina were very friendly, and attentive The atmosphere had a perfect blend of vibrant and mellow with an urban vibe. I ordered the chicken & waffles and the portion size was very hefty. The chicken was huge, juicy, and crispy enough to make a satisfying crunch but missing a little extra seasoning. The biscuits & jam were delicious. The drinks were smooth, well-made. They are right next to the George R. Brown Convention Center so it's a super convenient stop whether you're downtown for an event, conference, or just roaming the city looking for good eats and good energy.

    Tried Kulture for brunch with my husband and baby... I'm still smiling about the whole experience. We had 11:45am reservations and walked into a calm, not overcrowded vibe... which I loved. No chaos, no noise overload... just the perfect setting to actually enjoy the moment, take pics, shoot a few videos, and soak everything in. Now let's talk about Christina... because whew. She was working dual roles... bartending and serving... and did both flawlessly. Super personable, warm, and genuinely engaging. The kind of energy that makes you feel like you're more than just another table. What really stood out was her sharing her personal growth and perspective... hearing how her mentor helped shift her mindset was refreshing and honestly inspiring. That type of interaction stays with you. Big appreciation to both Christina and whoever poured into her like that... it shows. And listen... the food. CHEF'S. KISS. Every bite was giving flavor, intention, and soul. You know a place is serious when you don't even want to talk while eating. Straight finger-clappin' satisfaction all the way back to sunny Florida. Huge shoutout as well to the two gentlemen who helped my husband... top-tier hospitality. Friendly, attentive, and clearly customer-service driven. One of them literally walked to the corner of the restaurant to help him locate the parking garage. Who does that anymore? That level of care is rare and absolutely deserves recognition. Kulture delivered on food, atmosphere, and service... the full trifecta. Do yourself a favor... check them out and support. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

    After the marathon, comes the breakfast. We randomly walked into Kulture thanks to the street marketing. The atmosphere is great, with the large windows and decor. A perfect place for brunch downtown and hanging with family and friends. Music was soulful, staff were friendly, and very accommodating. Biscuits : 10/10.. Buttery, flakey, and delicious. Throw that Jam on there with a little bit of the butter, and you good to go. Gumbo: 10/10.. the gumbo had flavor and a tiny bite at the end. The portion size is enough to fill you up. Some people like thick and some people like light, this was in-between. This hit the spot on a cold day. I would order this again.

    After having a date, my boyfriend & I decided on eating here for brunch. If you're coming from the garage there is a side door entrance that you go into (we missed it and was lost for a split second lol). As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a smile and although we had reservations it was not packed. They had the old skool R&B jams playing, nice lighting, and a welcoming environment. All the people we encountered were amaaaazing! I wish I remembered the two men name who were helping us! They went above and beyond & the fact they didn't have to and it was so natural, speaks volumes. If y'all see this, shout out to y'all because y'all did y'all thang! I'd definitely come back and request the server that we had! I had ordered the fried lamb chops that came with grits & he ordered the pancakes with turkey sausage & eggs. The lamb chops were chefs kiss and the grits were my faaaav! They put their foot in em lol! His pancakes tasted like funnel cakes and were so yummy! I also ordered a mango lemon drop and once again, top tier!!! Oh & for parking, if you park in the garage they will validate your ticket for 2 hours. We paid prior, but they had asked and let us know.

    Had a great lunch in a really cool spot. The food options were varied and may I say tastyyyyyy!!! They had off the menu oxtail with a coconut curry and rice, the fried catfish was so good, and the lamb chops with chimichurri just scrumptious. The only meh dish was the macaroni and cheese, left me lacking. Service was A1 the staff made sure they checked in on us and the food. Its a nice place to get food after church and close to Discovery Green!

    Kulture is a must try's spot if you enjoy great food, terrific service and quieting ambience. I found Kulture on Yelp of course, trusted the community and nice again you didn't disappoint. First the food was on point, we did Sunday Brunch, I had the Crab Omelette which was delicious. The lump crab was super fresh and sweet, the omelette was cooked to perfection and the seafood lemon butter sauce tied it in with a nice kiss. I was driving so I had the coconut mojito mocktail, super flavorful and refreshing. Ohh! The homemade biscuits were a nice southern treat also. My wife had the fried lamb chops and grits, she was a lady as usual and refused to pick up the bone with her hand but they tasted so good she certainly thought about it. Our waitress/ bartender was phenomenal ( I'm sorry I can't remember her name) but she was great. Trevor the manager was super engaging with everyone and offered to validate our parking from the garage, BUT the hostess had already validated it for us. The ambiance was very inviting and unique. I really like the Kulture they're portraying at the restaurant Kulture. We will be back in October for dinner and update the review to keep you informed!

    First visit to Kulture. Open Table restaurant reservation via credit card. Free parking available in safe Avenida North paid parking garage with validated 2 hour parking. 5/5 Only a handful of vehicles were there. Upon arrival to the perfectly placed prime real estate location near Daikon Stadium, Discovery Green, and GRB Convention Center is this jewel on the first floor with floor to ceiling windows, stage, medium sized clean restaurant, bar, comfortable seating with patio seating included, and an upper loft with seating available. 5/5 Great music plays during the visit. People started coming in so noise level was perfect during our visit. Friendly knowledgeable staff assist you throughout your visit. 5/5 Complimentary biscuits, butter, and jam are served. Biscuits were my least fav 2/5. They just didn't have that buttery, fluffy, flaky pizazz I'm accustomed too. Yet, they were still tasty. This was a special After Christmas brunch menu, in addition, to the regular reasonably priced menu. 20% gratuity added to all checks. Arrived upon opening, so entrees were served immediately. Substitutions are allowed. Ordered oxtails, Gouda Mac and cheese, fried chicken whipped sweet potatoes, collards,with a biscuit that came with the meal. 5/5. Collard had perfectly seasoned potlikker, smooth sweet potato puree, and the hottest (nit spice level) chicken I used a fork to cut since I burned my fingers. This is a great restaurant.

    Food was good for the price. Great atmosphere. Service was really good as well. It is right in the heart of downtown. It has upstairs seating as well.

    Fried catfish

    I have beem trying to get to Kulture for a while now but havent had luck in the past getting reservations in the past...that changed this week. I made reservations through OpenTable. We were seated immediately and greeted by our waiter soon after. I ordered the fried catfish and substituted the grits for mac n cheese. The catfish was crispy. The sauce was a great addition along with the crab meat and shrimp! What I didnt care for was the mac n cheese...the cheese sauce was soupy and didnt attach to the noodles. Overall great dish. Pro Tip: The restaurant will validated your parking up to 2 hours. But only if you park in the Marriott's self parking lot off on Rusk St.

    Oxtails and grits
    Breanna A.

    Everything was so amazing! The food, the vibe the service all great! Fabian was our server and maybe the reason why our experience was so amazing! The catfish was nice and hot and crispy with the crab on top. The biscuits were amazing. I'm definitely coming back at least once a month

    This place was very decent to me and I truly mean that because I wouldn't necessarily say it was that great or amazing but it wasn't bad either. I did like the overall aesthetic of the place. It was definitely nicely and intentionally decorated, and that was clear to see. They also played some light music so it's not somewhere where you can't hear the other person that you're talking to because they're blasting music, but there is still music. However, the food to me though it was pretty good, it wasn't amazing. It was nothing really to write home about. I got the omelette and I got a side and even with getting an additional side, I still just don't feel like it really filled me up. I also felt like the service was just OK. Our server wasn't mean but he wasn't particularly friendly either and the brunch hours are pretty limited considering it closes completely down at 4:30 so definitely not somewhere to go for any sort of late brunch experience and it's not a brunch party by any means. I don't think I feel a strong desire to come back here, but I wouldn't mind at the same time, it just again was nothing to write home about.

    Overall three stars with five star potential. I arrived after what I assume was the brunch rush on a Saturday @ 5PM. There was only one other table occupied. Unfortunately they were sold out of popular items like the oxtails which my Mothers was really looking forward to. The lemon pepper wings were great. Very hot and fresh. The catfish strips were yummy although I had to ask three times for hot sauce, lemon and tartar sauce. They only have Crystal hot sauce and I prefer Louisiana. The drinks were delicious but could've been stronger. I had an espresso martini with Don Julio reposado my sister had the lemon drop and my other sister had a margarita. My mother doesn't drink, but they did make her a nice mocktail, which I thought was wonderful. It should be advertised. Our bartender/server was amazing. I don't remember her name, but she had a gorgeous smile and long braids. She definitely catered to us. It made me feel special on my birthday. I would go back when they have a live performance or earlier for brunch. I was surprised how small the restaurant is. I definitely thought it was larger. It almost look like they could fit more tables in there. Two things I think they could work on immediately - the menus look dirty, tattered and old although I understand due to frequency of use they might not be. I would laminate menus or provide QR codes. Also.. the mirrors in the women's restroom are ridiculous.They are all frosted with a design. You cannot see yourself clearly in the mirror above the sink or the full length body mirror and l've never seen that in any restaurant but I noticed they have this design behind the bottle selection at the back of the bar. I would replace these mirrors immediately.

    Ask the Community - Kulture

    Is "kulture" a misspelling of culture?

    I think it was purposely spelled that way to stand out. Its a black owned establishment. (Only thought I'd mention that ,given the K was asked about)

    Is brunch child friendly?

    It is child friendly there...a nice place with indoor and outdoor seating as you like.

    Can I make a reservation?

    No, not right now. They are not officially re-opened. They are just doing some pop-ups and soft-opening hours. You CAN make reservations for the Black Chef Table events that they are hosting, though.

    Is there a wait with reservation?

    Sometimes. It's difficult to make people leave who were there before you. However, there is a bar and waiting area.

    Is there still live music on Fridays and what time?

    Yes

    Is there a line like BK? Should/can I make reservations?

    You should make a reservation. Especially if you going on the weekend and during peak hours.

    What is the best night of the week for good sized crowd and live music?

    Friday

    Is this owned by the same guy that owns The Breakfast Klub?

    It is.

Even with the crowd, the line kept moving, and there was no shortage of delicious-looking options on the steam table. From fried chicken and turkey wings to baked fish, spaghetti, cabbage, green beans, mac and cheese, dressing, black-eyed peas, collard greens, candied yams, mashed potatoes, and more, it was hard to decide what to order because everything looked homemade. I ordered the turkey wing with collard greens, black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes with gravy, rice, a corn muffin, and sweet potatoes. I also grabbed a Suicide Punch, which is a mix of all their Kool-Aid flavors. First, let's talk about those sweet potatoes... BABY!! They absolutely stole the show. They were piping hot, buttery, perfectly sweet, and hands down the best thing on my plate. I could've easily eaten another serving. The collard greens were seasoned beautifully with a rich, smoky flavor and plenty of pot liquor. They were tender without being mushy and tasted like they had been cooking all day. The black-eyed peas were creamy, well-seasoned, and comforting, while the mashed potatoes were smooth and paired perfectly with the savory gravy. The rice soaked up every bit of that gravy, and the corn muffin was soft with just the right touch of sweetness. The turkey wing itself was tender, juicy, and covered in flavorful gravy. My only surprise was that I was expecting just the wing portion, but instead I received the whole wing with the drum attached. It wasn't a big deal because it was still delicious--I just personally prefer getting only the wing. The Suicide Punch was another winner. If you grew up drinking Kool-Aid, you'll appreciate it. It's sweet, refreshing, and a fun mix of all the flavors. My family ordered several other dishes, so we got to try quite a variety. We had baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and black-eyed peas, and everything was generously portioned. The baked chicken was moist and well-seasoned, and the mac and cheese had that creamy, homemade taste you hope for from a soul food restaurant. My only real complaint was that some of the food was served lukewarm instead of hot, which took away from the experience a little. Soul food just hits differently when it's fresh and piping hot. Ironically, the sweet potatoes were the one item that came out nice and hot, and they were absolutely perfect. Overall, Mikki's serves authentic soul food with generous portions and flavors that remind you of Sunday dinner at a family member's house. The food is comforting, the selection is impressive, and it's easy to see why the place stays busy. If everything had been served hot, this would've easily been a five-star experience. Pro tip: Don't leave without getting the sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch. Trust me--you'll thank me later. sweet potatoes and a Suicide Punch free refills. Trust me--you'll thank me later.

She seemed a little disengaged, was speaking very softly, and I believe that's where the mix up occurred. The correct sides were prepared, but they ended up on the wrong plate.

Because there are no pictures on the menu, she gave very detailed visual descriptions of the meals we were interested in. She did not steer us wrong. We ordered the kids burger, catfish and grits with shredded oxtail and chicken and waffles. All exceeded the expectation and left us with full bellies. The portions are larger than normal but not too much where there is waste or leftovers (at least for us). The waffles are sweet potato and they were very tasty. I'm not a fan of sweet potato waffles because many times they are grainy-like and the texture isn't pleasing. However, these waffles were light and perfectly cooked. It came with bourbon maple pecan syrup that complimented the flavor of the waffle. The chicken and catfish were fried to perfection and the oxtail was tender. It's a pricier place for brunch. We didn't mind because we were celebrating mom's birthday. I will definitely return for a trip to the bar and for the food for special occasions. Overall, 10 out of 10.

    Honestly wasn't very impressed. I think it had a lot to do with the experience. Don't eat at the…read morebar. Get a table if you're going to eat here. Apparently this place prefers you make reservations. Food was good but lacking for the price point we paid. I get it, there's costs associated with running a restaurant. But it was lackluster. Croissant French toast tasted like pan toasted croissant with a dust of powdered sugar. Oxtail omelette needed more cheese and more than 3 strands of pickled onion to give it balance and dimension. People come to restaurants to have a good experience but it was just strange vibes tbh with the staff complaining and venting to each other. Don't do it in front of the customers.... It's not a good look. Also not cool how the server/bartender preselected for us what percentage for us to tip on the tablet. Anchoring like that's not going to make us want to give you any bigger of a tip. Just feels like they see you as a walking moneybag. I feel conflicted writing this because I know we're all human just doing our jobs and getting through the day, but this was my experience.

Next Level I got the chicken waffles to go and ate the grits fish and eggs there!!! When I made back home 305 MIA I went on there website and ordered the waffles and pancake mix the chicken koating and fish batter this is my second time around that waffles mix it's that good I'll never buy pancake mix from the store again I'll be using the fish batter and signature seasoning this weekend

    It was a drizzly morning and the line was down the block for this place. I heard that it got busy,…read morebut seeing it in action was a totally different experience. My friend got out the car to hold a spot in line, and then we parked and followed. The staff regularly checked on people in the line which was wonderful, it was awesome when one of them told us that we could do next door but just be limited to 7 signature items and drinks. We reviewed the menu and saw if there was anything outside of those items we wanted, and we didn't, so we went on over. We waited maybe 5 minutes and WOW. The wings and grits I got were fire yall, seriously. There was a table with sauces, seasonings, napkins, etc. And there was a counter with cups full of ice and a water station. We were set. The food was sooooooo good. I see why they have a line. They own a bunch of spots around town, including a Caribbean one I hope to get to one day. This is one I absolutely have to return to!

    I came on a Sunday and had a really nice experience. We started with the pretzel and crab rangoon…read moredip and it was perfect! A large, soft, salty pretzel and creamy, decadent dip made this app a 10/10. Then we tried a couple of cups of gumbo which had the best roux I have ever tasted... Another 10!!! I could just order a pretzel and a bowl of gumbo and be completely satisfied with my meal here. For our mains we got the sticky chicken and fried catfish. Sticky chicken was a little sweet for my taste 7/10 and the catfish was perfect, another 10/10. The sides were good but the jalapeno blueberry coleslaw stole the show. If you're ever in the area this restaurant is a must try! They'll be moving to a new location soon and I hope it has the same cozy feel as this original location.

    This was my third visit and my last. The wait today wasn't more than 45 minutes. I do recall the…read moregnats previously but it seems to be a out of control issue, even ROACHES. A small one crawling on the wall near our table and someone from my party saw a larger one crawling near the kitchen. And boy was it stuffy in there. I asked our waitress if she could move a floor fan near for some relief and to detour the gnats, she said she go ask but she never came back and when she did she completely forgot my request. We weren't seated in the greater eating area where it was cooler and maybe where the gnats were less of a bother. The food was delicious and homemade, you can tell it was made with high quality ingredients and that Southern skill that you can only get from helping Grandma in the kitchen. BUT the roaches made us lose our appetite. Such a shame. It seemed like the building went down. They don't seem to put as much effort into the condition of that place as they do the food. Dusty ceiling fans and crummy floors. I appreciate the homey vibe but it looked really junky, more stuff piled in unoccupied corners as before. I gave a lot of things the side eye, I mean it there has to be maintained asthetic. They charged an 18% gratuity on my tab for a party of 8 but I arrived with 4 people, the other 4 had already been there, paid and was almost done with their meal. Then of course the cashier/waitress still mentioned an additional, optional tip. I didn't think that was fair. At the end of it all she wasn't the best waitress.

    Listen! I know good soul food, and this spot here has "hit the spot!" But because it's Friday, it's…read moreCatfish Friday! So I quite naturally ordered the max. piece catfish (3 pc.) with fries and greens, and OMG! The flavor, the crispiness! Just like I fry it! Excellent customer service! Needless to say, this is now my "catfish spot" whenever I visit the area again. For dessert, I had the peach cobbler. Another hit! So balanced with flavor and sweetness! My family had the oxtails and blackened salmon. They are licking their fingers! Why is this place not rated a perfect 5?! You better believe they get 5 stars from me! Earned! (Sorry, I ate my fish and peach cobbler before I realized I didn't take a pic. And the presentation was magnificent on all plates!)

I ordered the turkey wings which came with rice & 2sides with cornbread. I got the black eyed peas & greens with no meat in my greens. The standout for me were the black eyed peas. They were excellent. Everything else was just ok. I liked that everything wasn't overly salty. It just lacked that extra kick. The serving sizes were pretty good & I have plenty leftovers. I would be back again to try another dish because I feel for soul food this was pretty healthy because it was overly salty.
