Highly Recommend! Awesome place for kids!! Great service and the restaurant was very nice and organized with good ambiance. Service was excellent. Staff were very nice and helpful. Food was excellent. Everything we had was fresh.
Drove past one day wondering if this was a good place - found myself here for lunch several days later. Was not impressed. We popped in around 1130 on a Friday - a few dozen people were already there or arriving. This is a point, because the level of service at our table, was as if our waitperson had 10 tables. Ordered a round of drinks - a few of us ordered ice tea. Requested straws. Then requested sweetener. We would have asked for all at one time, but our guy was too mentally busy...rushing away each time. Plus each time he walked away he got caught up in conversations with other staff members, delaying the whole process. Rolls and butter were good. Purple corn crunchy tacos had a gritty texture, we were unsure of. Chicken fried steak was not battered properly and the batter was falling off / peeling off, like a side dish vs being part of each bite. The fig & arugula pizza should be on the dessert menu - it was so sweet, it hurt + it came to the table close to bubbling...straight from the oven i suppose. We had our waitstaff + 3 others bringing food items - it all felt a little chaotic. Plus when glasses were refilled - wound up with a glass of lukewarm tea vs a mixture of tea and ice. Requested a to go box for the pizza - hoping it might taste better later (it did not). When the to go box arrived, so did the check...with a waiter standing for a few seconds waiting for payment, before realizing the to go box was being addressed first, so he left the payment device for me to finish the transaction. Now I can say I've been there. But will suggest any other place in the future. And btw - i would suggest not fiddling with the meat slicer at the front door...perhaps do whatever that was by the kitchen / delivery door.
Long weekend is for those who love a western vibe and want to wind down after a long week to some real good Texan food. It's out doorsy but cozy. Great for kids as they have a huge turf playground in the back and lots of seats to watch your kids as they play. They also have a stage with live performances. Covered outdoor seating is available and has plenty of space. The inside is also a great area to dine if you are not looking to be outside especially if it's raining. The hosts were very attentive and constant. We had great service and they were a lot so if you needed anything someone is always passing by to help. Food was ok, like the onion rings, the prime Babette steak skewers and the Wild West wings.
Western dining elevated. Service and atmosphere: This is modern, well designed and nicely decorated restaurant with Western and Texan style. There are many seating arrangements both inside and outside. The unfortunate thing is that the doors to the patio were wide opened which let in MANY FLIES. It was hard to keep them off the plates! The staff were nice, professional and helpful. Our server was friendly and attentive. Food and drinks: The menu offers good selection of various and well thought through dishes. The food was well presented on the plates and tasted good. The arctic char fish with seasonal vegetables lucked seasoning but overall it was a good effort. We highly recommend pizza with stewed rabbit. It was tasty. The bar offers variety of alcoholic beverages. Pricing: $$/$ - the food quality was worth the price. Please be advised that you have to open tub per table with your card once you place order which is unusual. Moreover, 3% credit card fee charged to the business by the credit card companies will be added to your bill to offset restaurant fees. Why?! This credit card fee charge should not be passed on to the consumers.
Very busy opening weekend we attended at Long Weekend. The appeal is obvious from the outside and definitely becomes more apparent when you step inside. Lots of southwestern/Texan flair and appeal to be found everywhere here. Lots of solid woods and premium feeling seating in a family friendly environment. If you have children the backyard here is a kids paradise. Lovely manicured turf and player with plenty to look at and do for the littles. The service was a bit rough, as is expected for the first few days being open, but we managed to get a table for 8 people around the wait time they quoted us. The staff was going through it for sure, but they all seemed to be at least trying. The food was tastier than I had expected coming. The NY strip was cooked to order, again I'm pleasantly surprised given the hustle and bustle going on. The sear and seasoning was perfect for my pallette, and the sides were tasty too. We got the Brussels sprouts that are more like a salad with the flavor and cook they had; Nice and light, and we went with the rolls that didn't disappoint either. Family friendly paradise for sure. Something for all ages and the food is good. You really can't mess it up with a set up like this.
We always love dining here, largely thanks to Alyssa! She consistently delivers incredible service and goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcomed. While select menu items are a bit pricey for the portions, the food, drinks, and ambiance are great. Excellent staff like Alyssa are what keep this place running smoothly--management is lucky to have her!
Came for a friend meet up. This was my first time but won't be my last! Great for remote work, to grab a quick bite, a mom play date, it has something for everyone! The service was great, we sat outside on the back so my friend's son could play on the playground. I had the Brussels and the rising sun breakfast, both great options!! Very extensive menu and the cafe options looked amazing! Will be back to try the coffee and their various pizza options as both looked great but definitely check out Long Weekend
I honestly don't leave reviews, but I made this Yelp account just to write this one because people should know about our experience. The service wasn't great from the beginning. There were flies everywhere, and our waiter barely checked on us. I get that mistakes happen, but serving raw chicken is not okay. My chicken sandwich was pink in the middle. When I showed one of the managers, she told me it was because the chicken was cut too close to the rib, like that somehow made it okay. At the end of the day, I was still served undercooked chicken. Her attitude afterward also came off as rude and dismissive instead of trying to make the situation right. Side note, the image below is the meat on the "the smokin iron plate" that was $190. Where is the meat???? On top of that, the bill was around $100 for one burger, one chicken sandwich, a soda, and an iced tea. For the quality of the food and the service we received, it definitely wasn't worth it. Overall, I was really disappointed. I don't normally write reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I felt other people should know before spending their money here.
We recently tried this spot and were really impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and the flavors were spot on. We particularly enjoyed the grilled romaine salad--the concept is fantastic and the ingredients were super fresh. My only minor suggestion for next time would be to leave the romaine on the grill for just a bit longer to really lean into that deep, charred flavor. Overall, a wonderful meal and we'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu
We finally tried Long Weekend yesterday evening with our grandkids. It was a hit for them and for us. All of our food was delicious, even the kid's meals (a pizza and chicken tenders). I had the steak skewers, beet salad plus a taste of the burger my husband ordered and some of the small pizza. There's something on their menu for everyone. Learned they have a 'Michelin-starred' chef. Our waiter Sam was great. Our grandkids completely wore themselves out on the really nice playground after dinner as we sat on one of the benches watching them and enjoying the live band. Playground photo was taken when we first arrived before eating and before it got really crowded. The only thing I'd suggest be changed is for balls to be banned. Parent(s) shouldn't have allowed their kid to bring one in. Witnessed several people get hit (body & face) by a small ball some boys were kicking around pretty hard. Saw a lady next to me get hit pretty hard on her glasses which was upsetting for her as it caused a mark on her nose from the impact. Parents were either not watching their kids or just didn't care it was hitting people. Of course this was out on the playground so easily avoided unless you have kids out there playing. Otherwise it's a very safe play area. The net bridge that goes between the play structure and the tree looked fun. The kid chaos can pretty much be missed by dining inside or closer to the restaurant, near the stage. We arrived at 5:30 and it all tables outside were already taken except for the ones in the covered area on backside of restaurant which is where we sat. We'll return soon, even w/o the little ones.
This was my second visit. This time with family, including 3 grandkids: 6,4.5 and 2.5. Rainy Sunday early dinner and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating by finding a table under the patio where we could easily keep an eye on the kids between rain showers. It was Masters Sunday and I loved their specialty menu featuring Augusta classics. Our server was super attentive, food came out quick and hot. Drinks were fantastic. We're so fortunate to have a quality dining space like this that isn't a corporate franchise. The rumor is there are negative reviews that are generated by the residential neighbors who bought homes that backed to the previous restaurant in the space. It's Houston, no zoning, makes it crazy and special. Do yourself and your family a favor and visit Long Weekend. You won't regret it.

I was looking for a family brunch spot where the kids could play, and I found this place. It's beautifully decorated with a Texas theme, which made it especially fun to bring my out-of-town guests. The outdoor area has a pond with fish and turtles, and one of the servers was so sweet and offered my son some food so he could feed them. They also have an enormous natural-style treehouse that tons of kids were playing on, with plenty of shade from the large surrounding trees. The service was friendly, and I really enjoyed the ambience and food. It was a great spot for both adults and kids, and I would definitely return. read more
******Disclaimer ***** This place charges you 3% credit card fee when it's a no cash establishment according to the server..... it's a loose loose situation. Cash is King but apparently not here....... Wild....... And sad to see that...... ........................... Came here just now today as of an hour ago for a family brunch! Pros This place is spacious and ample amount of seating indoor and out! Place is friendly for the kids but also an adults paradise to get away or join as a whole! Food was good! No doubt a few issues but not overall quality of food was good! Cons Ordered their order of buffalo wings and asked the server to get them grilled in which she said they come grilled! So I was excited seeing the open grill over wood up front made me eager to try...... Well the wings were not grilled even after ensuring they came grilled. Hands down fried so it tasted like any other fried wing spot which was ok but I was specifically looking for and requesting to have them grilled! I didn't make a deal about it nor brought it up and just ate it since our waitress appeared new or overwhelmed. We had pizzas, wings, steak, grilled wraps, sides, etc and overall it was good with the exception and let down of the alleged "grilled" wings. Anyways beer served cold from the tap and cocktails were of quality! Great spot to enjoy for the kids in the fully gated Astro turf grass patio! Highly recommend to install more powerful fans because we were drenched. Overall 2 of 5 stars I'll possibly try again in the late fall / early winter but unsure.... David read more

Honestly one of the nicest spots I've been to. The Steak Frites were spot on delicious as well as the Trout, the Queso/Chips, and if you got room for dessert, you must try out the cast iron skillet bread pudding. And get their house made coffee!!! Shout out to Emmanuel for awesome customer service, will be back soon!!! read more

Let me start with this- very crowded and very loud. This, however, if you are able to roll with a lot of people and noise- no complaints from me. It is as beautiful as all of the posts have said. The indie and outside are two TOTALLY different vibes. We wanted our kids to be able to play, and they did....along with about 60 other kids. Adults did not follow the no glass rule at the playground and a woman even broke her glass while climbing in the rope structure. (When we alerted management, they addressed it and removed all glass and people with glasses from the playground). The food was good, drinks were yummy, and service was friendly. Was really impressed with how attentive our waiter was considering how crowded it was. We liked the mini tacos, CFS, and pizza. read more

Our server sucked. He did not even know the menu. The place smells nasty for being new. The Facebook ad is an absolute lie. The filet steaks were $34 of cow poo. They don't know steaks. The fish was covered in so much sauce they must be embarrassed of it. All sides are ala-cart. So expect to pay more. Stick with Roadhouse. Way better quality and price. read more
Okay so I tried Longweekend in Houston and let me tell you... the vibe?? 10/10. You can literally go by yourself or with a group and still have a good time. I sat at the bar and the service was sooo good. Like everyone was welcoming, talking, actually helping not just standing there. Now they just opened, so some of the staff haven't tried everything yet, but I actually liked that because they were real about it. They still gave good recommendations based on what I like and told me to try the pizza. I went for lunch though and just a heads up, there's no lunch menu or happy hour, and the portions aren't smaller either. So it's giving full menu, full price even in the middle of the day. But overall? The energy, the ambiance, the service... yeah I'm definitely going back. pizza. read more

Absolutely loved this place! I've only posted the appetizers we ordered, and we were surprised but extremely delighted! The description of the Liquid Gold did not sound appealing but we gave it a try. Oh my gosh, it was amazing! I ordered the Jalapeño Poppers as an appetizer, but then ordered more because I made it my meal. Our guest had wings and pizza and a burger. There were no leftovers. The outside space is extremely family friendly. A play area for children of all ages and a Bar for the adults. Inside was very nice, ambiance was inviting. The bakery attached closes a little early so make sure to pay attention to those hours. read more

I'd say save your money. Food was alright, place was really nice but there was flies everywhere? Also had a small issue with a food item (happens right?) and the chef I guess got into a petty fit and purposely sent it back without any of the sides we paid for? Place is good for a drink or something but that's about it. read more

Ambiance: family friendly, lots of room for the kiddos to roam free outside and it's well gated, so safe for them. The food was delicious. I ordered the pizza because the waiter said it was wood fired using cherry oak. It had a good flavor. The margarita was smooth. The staff was friendly and service was fast. I will definitely return ! read more

They did an incredible job with the build-out -- the space is absolutely gorgeous. The menu has a great variety of options, and I love that they even added a pizza oven. I ordered the half chicken and it was packed with flavor. My husband had the steak, which was seasoned perfectly and cooked exactly right. The margarita was also fantastic. Our server was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I don't have kids myself, but the playground looks like an absolute dream for families. There are plenty of tables around it with large TVs, so adults can relax while the kids play. We can't wait to come back! read more

This place is very well thought out -- great food, friendly service, and a space that really works for families. We were on the waitlist for a table and decided to stand outside by the playground while we waited. A server came over right away and took care of us there, and it worked out so well that we ended up canceling our table. Finding places that are enjoyable with three young boys isn't always easy, but this spot was perfect for them. We only planned to stay for about an hour, but they were having such a great time that we ended up staying for over three hours!! The whole experience felt easy and enjoyable. If you're looking for a quieter vibe or fewer kids around, the inside seemed much calmer. I would highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely be coming back!! read more
