I was excited to find a healthy restaurant nearby. But it was very mediocre. Bland tasteless grains, overdone caperless salmon and very unorganized service. My partner enjoyed his chicken thigh cubes but found the lentils flavorless. If you're looking to eat healthy and sacrifice flavor it certainly was healthy. If you can cook simple grains and meat at home, it is better to save your money. read more

Finally stopped in after driving by it multiple times and I will definitely be back. I had the seasonal peach, mint, chard, chicken, spinach, goat cheese, pecan salad. I got medium dressing and it was perfect. Salad was tasty and a good portion. Staff was friendly. Nice, cute atmosphere. I will be back. read more

Pretty solid spot for healthy veggie bowls. I tried the MFH Veggie Boost 2.0 and it was good. Yummy desserts as well. Tried a cayenne brownie and a rosemary shortbread -- both tasty. Also, I appreciated that they were small treats. Just the right amount, at $1.50 each. My one complaint? I didn't see any veggie bowls or salads with seafood on the menu (it's what I was craving that day). The option to add shrimp or salmon to a bowl or salad would have been cool. Overall, I wasn't crazy about their menu -- I think it could use a boost -- more diverse ingredients please! read more

Healthy and delicious. Two words that don't always go together but I love it when they do. Ordered the parm to table which is one of their warm bowls. The bowl was filled with brown rice, three turkey meatballs, roasted carrots, roasted cauliflower, fresh parmesan cheese, and a tomato sauce. Brown rice was cooked perfectly, just the right amount of fluff. Turkey meatballs were well seasoned and quite moist. Roasted carrots were sweet with a slight bit of bite. Tomato sauce tasted rich without feeling heavy. Sauce was a little saltier than I like but it brought everything together. read more

Fresh and delicious and local. The Alamo is my favorite. Staff have always been great, but ordering ahead is really convenient when I have the forethought. read more

Love the food here! Perfect on-the-go fresh food at great prices. The dressings are also delicious. My go to order is usually The Alamo salad with 2 sides of the chipotle vinaigrette. read more

We ordered this for lunch today at the office. We are big fans of Sweetgreen and wanted to mix it up! Everyone LOVED it. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. I was especially pleased with the chicken and it's lack of weird chewy bits (I am weird about chicken). I had the MFH Veggie Boost 2.0 with added chicken and would for sure order it again. They have a great variety of options and we will be putting this into our regular rotation. Only request would be to open a location in Montrose! read more

Nice go to salad and grain bowls! Similar concept to cava, sweet green, etc but with more predetermined options. I went with the veggie boost and added chicken. The ingredients are super fresh and they use cage free chicken so it's on the pricier side (chicken was $4-5) it comes with a bit of sour dough bread and they can mix the bowl for you. I was very satisfied by the bits of everything in the bowl, all the veggies were tasty and I was full afterwards. Workers are nice here too. Would be a great quick takeout or delivery option. read more

This place would be phenomenal if they ever got my order correct. I order the same thing every time, but have to tell them which bowl to put it in and remind them what ingredients make up the dish. I always sub tofu for chicken and have to watch like a hawk, because if I don't correct them, it'll be chicken. Last night was busy and I couldn't watch their every move, so I got home to see that important ingredients were left off my salad and I didn't get any bread, which sucks because it's so good. It was too late to go all the way back there so I ate a sad, boring, overpriced bowl of lentils and arugula that I paid $15 for. The food is usually great and the kids working there are so nice, but I'm starting to think it isn't worth the frustration, disappointment and expense of not getting what I ordered and paid for. read more

When I worked downtown before the pandemic came, the Leaf & Grain's original location in the Park Shops was the gentlesir's favourite lunch destination on the one day every few weeks I could burn billable time to get out of the office for a tasty treat. At the Park Shops location the service was always friendly and the food was always delightful. The only complaint I had in pre-covid days was that the line spilled out of the front door onto the fourth floor concourse, because everyone else knew that was the place to go for friendly service and great food for lunch. Before they opened there was always a good line at Salata. After they opened, everyone went up to the fourth floor for the tasty treats. I was down the street the other day on a fool's errand and had a happy coincidence since I do not spend a lot of time in this area. I was rolling by on Wesleyan heading into Bellaire and saw the fabled sign saying that my old lunch joint had a new location in this part of town. I resolved to come in and give them the bidness. The first thing I noticed is that the menu was a lot different from the downtown location. There was no Cobb salad option. That's fine, they have other options. Everything has that essential glamour of being locally owned, scratch made, fresh ingredients, and all the other good things that makes you love the brand they put out there, in contrast to Salata and the other mid brands that do the least for your rabbit food. They have expanded the menu so much from the downtown location with the additional floor space and larger kitchen. They now do soups, build your own bowls, smoothies, and more. That largely mirrors the growth and success of the brand from starting in 2016 to winning best healthy restaurant in the Houston Chron in both 2021 and 2022. Without the Cobb on deck (a good salad, also one of the lesser characters of Inception the film) I opted for the Caesar salad (pretty good dictator once he crossed the Rubicon all things considered, also a pretty terrible faction leader in Fallout: New Vegas). The Caesar, a gastronomic investigation in seven parts today. If you play Fallout: New Vegas only you and I know whether I am pronouncing Caesar the correct way, or the incorrect way. Slide into my DMs if you want to share your thoughts on the NCR of course. Kale: this is how you do kale, a spice of life, rather than the main character. Romaine: she sure is romaine. Chicken: juicy, tender, this broke my vegan/veg preference for good cause. Shaved Parmesan: yes! Croutons: there were a lot. They were great, but there were a lot up in the mix. Parmesan crisps: absolutely delightful. Dressing: perfect, although I had to order the heavy saucing to make it appropriately dressed. Food was amazing. Service at the assembly line was mostly pleasant, it was just not Elisa making the salad with love as happened at the downtown location. But then at the cashier zone the service deteriorated when I asked for a lid for my salad I got a very strange question asking me why. I love absurdist situations so I was running through all of the calculations in my mind of why I was getting asked that and how much of my life story she wanted to know. I planned to eat some and take the rest to go since I eat like a delicate birb so I can fully propound on birb law at the same time, but I'm cheap and don't like being wasteful, so I will finish the second half of this yuge salad later? My only other complaint with this location is that one of the male workers was "cleaning up" the dining room area by basically slamming chairs, grating metal feet of the tables, and sliding heavy chairs/tables across the floor, thereby making a whole lot of discordant noise which did not seem necessary to make that much disquieting noise during bidness hours and which really ruined the atmosphere enough I made quicker use of the lid on my salad and took the rest to go. So if I had given my full life story to the young lady at the register I would have needed to go back up to the register and supplement my earlier answer on why I needed a lid, if I could have shouted loud enough over all the screeching, jarring noise to fully amend my earlier answer on why I was now making use of this lid much earlier than anticipated. Up until then the dining room had been a calming space to relax and eat some fashionable sàlad in peace. Every joint is free to have a bit of an off day as long as the food is great, the ingredients are fresh, everything is scratch made, and the brand is one you love supporting. I will definitely be back next time I now plan my fool's errand nearby during lunching hours on purpose so I can deploy my fork & knife (the early-aughts band Brand New's best track) upon these leafs, and occasionally, grains. read more

Dined in on a Monday at 2:00 pm and there was plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. I built my own salad, and it was a generous amount. Their fresh sourdough bread made in house is very good. The tomato basil soup does not have much cream. It has a strong sherry flavor. It was ok. The chicken tortilla soup was my favorite! So flavorful and the tortilla chips are good. read more

Went to Leaf & Grain for the first time for lunch today. Really nice wait-staff gave me recommendations on some of their favorites. L&G has warm bowls, grain bowls and salads... a really nice selection with the option to add proteins or other items. I ended up getting the "Common Table" Bowl with some veggies on the side (just to give them a try). I had the sweet potato and the roasted cauliflower (which had a bit of curry flavor), and both were pretty awesome. Looking forward to coming back and trying the other bowls. Also, I learned L&G is a local Houston chain. All the more reason! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by everything I had at Leaf & Grain. I'm typically skeptical of health food restaurants especially when they try to make "ethnic" foods but my Thai-inspired bowl was really good and had authentic flavor. The smoothie was also thick which I appreciate because I hate watery smoothies. The restaurant is nicely decorated and the prices are pretty reasonable, so I would go back. read more

Service is dropping, they are giving to go orders over dine in customers. Dine in should be considered a higher priority

Wonderfully light, yet filling bowls that are both healthy and delicious. Ordered take out yesterday, service was quick and friendly. The dining room looked clean, and the ambiance seems relaxed. Would recommend for easy healthy food option! read more

super frustrated with this place. I order the pollo Laredo and least 2 times a week. Why can not not get the order correct? They always leave something off. And I pay extra just to make sure that I get the basic stuff that is supposed to come on the salad super frustrating. I wish they could get their customer service and the people that are actually doing the salads trained well. it's ridiculous and it's super frustrating when you get an order that's not correct. I used to think so highly of this restaurant. Now I'm contemplating I'm just never ordering from them again. read more

This is our go to spot every time we visit Houston! Fresh ingredients, excellent flavors, and friendly staff!

Food here is fresh and healthy with an array of options you can build from. Though it was my first visit here, I really enjoyed the French Country Dinner. The black eyed peas definitely took most of the flavor, but the chicken and grilled carrots paired very well. As for my drink, I had the mango smoothie, it was good. It was practically a meal of its own. Overall this place is healthy and delicious. I'm coming back for more :) read more

The space is welcoming, modern, bright, and a good amount of seating. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. I met the manager who came by my table to introduce himself. He was very friendly. Kids eat free on weekends. I got the chicken teriyaki warm bowl and chunky monkey smoothie. The chicken teriyaki bowl comes with rice, broccoli, edamame, onion, red bell peppers, zucchini, apple, mushrooms, and of course chicken. It was absolutely delicious. The flavors blend well together. The vegetables are extremely fresh and not over cooked. I would absolutely order this bowl again. I will definitely be back. read more

Change the name to leaf. Grain means bread. They suddenly stopped making sandwiches. WTH? Now it's just another salata. The dressings are all one note and the salads are full of unnecessary debris. I go there once or twice a week to get a chicken salad or blt, both great. Now I'll just go in to get a rosemary shortbread cookie. What a waste. And with no warning. *This is now a reply to the below reply from the owner. My daughter and wife went in today to get sandwiches and noted that the poblano lime dressing tasted only like lime and the other salad's dressing was unremarkable. Also, too much stuff that gets stuck in your teeth in the salad. Sorry the sandwiches weren't popular enough to keep. And I'm not driving outside the loop for a sandwich. Also, the Tanglewood shop doesn't have the same sandwiches. read more

Have been eating at Weslayan since it opened. I love this place I eat it often. Alamo is my fave. As of recent the prices have increased and the portions have decreased. Can barely tell if I have rice or chicken in the bowl. Seems like chicken has been chopped up so much. Nothing like it used to be. I go in sometimes and sometimes I door dash if at work (med center) with my coworkers. Door dash order is always missing something. Apples, almonds, rice, etc. Important ingredients of the salad. Owners used to be there often and it was a better experience then. read more

One of my new top "I want something healthy" spots! Leaf and Grain has a nice menu of tasty grain bowls and salad bowls.. not to mention soups and treats like cookies. We've been twice and have been happy with our meals as well as how we feel afterwards (I.e. no post food coma). :) They have set menu items but you can also make your own bowl with four toppings before getting charged per additional topping. They'll offer to mix up your salad with a light, medium, or heavy serving of the dressing-- but fyi, the light is usually flavorful enough! The Alamo has roasted chicken that is tastier than your usual Ho-hum chicken breast, and the dressing is tangy and super tasty, probably our favorite bowl so far, om nom nom~ They stand apart with not only their tasty fare but also with their super great service! They have omitted or substituted things for us without batting an eye (the bf is a cilantro-hating weirdo) and have been friendly and helpful from the moment we stand in front of the menu frozen in that "what do I order?!" panic phase. There's also a shelf to pick up your online orders if you're really on the go, but the seating area (mostly for parties or 2-3) is cute, clean, and quiet. Don't forget to check in for your Yelp deal! 25% off your order, woohoo, tasty! read more

Love this place, love the fresh warm bowls and salads, and what I love the most about this place is the customer service! As soon as we walked in, the owner or the manager greeted us and helped us with the menu . He came to check on us about the food to make sure everything is good. Most impressively, it was raining outside by the time we finished our meal, he offered to walk us to our cars with the umbrella. It made us feel like we were at a 5-star Michelin restaurant. The ingredients of the food are fresh and crisp, all bowls come with a slice of fresh sourdough bread. I love the combination of the salad bowls and the warm bowls, perfect mix of sweetness, crunchiness, and tartness. They also offer soup now, I got the chicken tortilla soup, it comes with a generous amount of chicken and a big ball of avocado, the presentation of the soup was great, however I wish the bowl they use for the soup could be a little bit bigger as there was almost no broth at all. Overall, a great place to eat well and feel good, my belly and heart was happy! read more

Our new favorite place for a quick, healthy meal! Yummy salads for days! Customer service was great and the place is minimal and cute. We ordered the French Country Dinner (warm bowl) and The Oasis and we absolutely loved both items. I love that they added mint to the Oasis salad... very refreshing! The French Country Dinner was warm and hearty and filling. We're excited to go back for more! read more

We saw this cute place while driving and decided to stop in for a lunch date. The farmhouse ambiance the style of the restaurant. The menu is easily understandable and the staff are really friendly in explaining their menu. The staff also move quickly, so we didn't have to wait for our food. The salad bowls were made fresh in front of us and we got to pick how much dressing we wanted. They will even mix your salad for you and add a slice of complimentary bread! The quality of the food is comparable to Sweetgreen, but Leaf & Grain just has that "neighborhood" vibe that we enjoyed. The Alamo bowl (~12.50) was DELICIOUS!! The dressing that comes with it is packed with flavor and spice, and the toppings add such nice texture and taste. It even comes with avocado. The Common Table bowl (~11.50) had such fresh flavors featuring a more nutty and balanced profile. The apple and feta really compliment each other. The Common Table reminded us of Sweetgreen's Harvest bowl. Overall, we liked the vibe, taste, value, and the staffs' hospitality. We were impressed by Deets, who walked up to us to talk and offered to bring us water. read more

On a dime for healthy eats in large portions? Leaf & Grain is the place for you! Checking in on Yelp yields a significant discount, and keeps me coming back time after time. The Alamo bowl is what my go-to is, and many of my friends also love this bowl--it pairs perfectly with bread, which is at no added cost! The interior is clean, cute, and friendly, and I really enjoy the combination of flavor, healthiness, and value that the salad and warm bowls bring. For these reasons, Leaf & Grain consistently tops my list of healthy places to eat in Houston. Remember, if you're ever wondering what bowl to try first- Remember the Alamo! read more
