Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Danny A.

So lucky to find this spot. And they have grilled chicken breast sandwiches too, rare in bbq places. Super clean and food is great. If your in the NW side of Houston, for sure stop by there.

Brisket Combo Brisket Plate
Jesse C.

Solid! Brisket is good, only gripe is it sat a little longer than I'd prefer. The bbq beans and jalapeño corn are very good. Cool place like an old cafeteria.

It's been at least 10 years since I've eaten here so I thought it was time to give them another chance. I say that because my memory was of an unremarkable visit back then. Since then Houston's bbq game has improved dramatically. Unfortunately nothing has changed here over that time. I came for lunch this week and remembered the attractive entrance with the large menu board along with the spacious interior decorated in Texas country chic. This is a counter service restaurant where you go down a serving line and request your food. I chose a sliced brisket sandwich ($8.75) with a side of beans ($2.75) and adding a drink it was under $15 with tax. They have a drink station and fixings bar that also has bottles of bbq sauce there. I then went to find a table and while there were many, several of them needed to be bussed and I thought that looked a little sloppy. I will admit that my brisket had a nice bark on it as seen in my picture but the meat was chewy and should have been more tender. I added some of the sauce (which I liked) to wet it down but it still was too chewy. Flavor wise it was ok but I have had better. I did like the taste of the beans which were light kidney beans but I thought the serving size wasn't large enough. I understand that brisket beef prices are high but sides surprise me with how expensive they are relative to their serving size. I think of Lyndon's as bbq that is lower to middle tier. Because of my chewy brisket I should give a 2 but I believe that Lyndon's is probably a little better than that with their other menu offerings so I will give a 3. However it probably will be at least 10 more years before I return because of so many other better bbq options out there.

Onion rings with three missing that I gave to a customer in line
J G.

The guys there are so personal in a good way , like being at a family dinner. Excellent sugestions. My wife had the stuffed baked potato with chopped brisket , he litterly pulled a brisket out and sliced off and chopped up fresh , ( not out of steam table soaked in sauce. Potato was big enough for two meals . I had the natural brisket sliced and stacked on a freshly toasted poorboy bun with two sides , plus I ordered a half order of the best onion rings ever. He said they're 10 rings in a 1/2 order but he failed to tell us they are huge rings , I gave 3 rings to another customer we met in line. You have a option of natutal or lean brisket and fat is flavor especially on their brisket ( best we've ever had) +the sides are top shelf also and don't try the banana pudding It will ruin you eating any other (excellent) , the only downer is the size you get of pudding for price , suggestion to boss increase the ratio to cost. Lyndons is the place we eat every time we're in Houston.

BBQ brisket plate and pulled pork sandwich
Jon L.

Solid spot for BBQ comfort food in a charming and comfortable space. It's cafeteria style at Lyndon's so take a quick glance at the menu in the front because the line moves pretty efficiently. It's a pretty big menu too beyond the bbq meats and sides - items like country fried steak, stuffed baked potatoes, and fried seafood baskets plus daily specials give you lots of options. But we came for bbq and it's pretty tasty. Got the brisket plate and a pulled pork sandwich. Tried a sampling of their sides including mac n' cheese, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and spicy corn. Help yourself to the pickles too. All in it's a satisfying meal. Perhaps not outstanding BBQ but still pretty good. Plus the decor is such a charming ode to Texas.

Chicken baked potato
Mel S.

Super nice staff, fast cafeteria walk through ordering. Huge & super soft baked potato stuffed with loads of cheese, butter & chicken. Great meal. Enjoyed tHe home feeling, welcoming staff & time here

Well keeds, I've passed this place for years on my way to the conglomeration of businesses and restaurants on the other side of 290, but never stopped. Today was the day. 4:30... I was their only customer. (There we're five others by the time I finished). Big place, cute, homey, very old school. Cafeteria line service. They even have the rails to slide your tray along as you pick your sides. Meat first. "Loose cut sandwich please". He pulled out a slab and cut and cut... and cut. Lots of very thin slices. Seemingly as thin as he could. But it was a lot, so... "Cole Slaw, please". Scoop, lil ramekin. Found a tv with PTI playing, old country on the speakers. Sauce and condiments on another bar in the dining room. Coolest thing I'd never seen...the sauce was in refillable glass bottles that sat on a warmer! So the sauce was warm and pleasant from the bottles, which poured well. Sauce was nothing special, yet nice. Cole Slaw was the best on this sojourn so far. Now, it was very wet (nice white soup on the bottom) but cut thinly, tangled and lovely. Tart, great flavor. The sandwich was sadly non descript. It was a nice big sandwich for ten bucks, filling... but you didn't really taste the beef. Bark added nothing. Sauce helped it taste like sauce. All in all, the place was nice, but it is s place that you thought was great before people started really treating barbecue as a treat. This is where a working man loads up. And there is honor in that. Note: they have catfish and shrimp and stuff, so that's cool. That's the type of stuff I bet is really good here. I may come back for that. Laterdays, keeds

This is on their wall, #Truth!!  No amount of old signs can make this place good for BBQ
Sean M.

Worse Chili in Houston!!! The bread had more flavor. The brisket was good but the sausage seemed like day old leftovers. Not impressed at all.

Got a lean chopped beef sandwich and fries. Chopped beef was pretty good, but the fries were great. I would try this place again.

Food is really good but getting overpriced. $15 for a baked potato with a cup of turkey on top. Go to Rudy's. Same quality, just cheaper.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

Millie's is a popular neighborhood seafood restaurant in Houston's Oak Forest area, known for Southern and coastal-inspired dishes, craft cocktails, and being genuinely family-friendly. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, including patios and a dedicated play area for kids, which already sets them apart. They have private parking spots out front and a large outdoor patio facing the street. We walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. They brought out a high-chair for our son immediately. Inside, the restaurant was busy, but it was a colder morning so the front patio wasn't being used much. They also have a separate backyard patio with a turfed, enclosed area where kids can safely play, which is a huge plus for families. We ordered from the brunch menu. [BRUNCH] +Lobster Roll for $38 - Maine lobster poached in butter, served in a brioche-style lobster bun with fries. My wife ordered this with fries, and I ordered the same dish with a Caesar salad. This lobster roll was excellent. They served the lobster folded into thick Texas toast and brought extra butter on the side. Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had. It's definitely pricey, but absolutely worth it as an occasional splurge. The fries and salad were good, but the lobster roll completely stole the show. - 5/5 [KID'S MENU] +Basket of Fried Shrimp for $7 - Served with fries or fruit. My son didn't eat much of the shrimp, but I thought it was solid. He ate all the fruit. He had already eaten at home, so hunger may have been a factor. For the price, this was perfectly fine. - 4/5 Overall, Millie's Kitchen & Cocktails really impressed me. The lobster roll alone is worth returning for, and now that I've seen how seafood-forward the menu is, I'm excited to try more dishes on future visits. Add in the family-friendly setup, outdoor play space, and smooth service, and this is a place I'll gladly come back to for brunch (and more)!

Cool ranch chips with roasted vegetable queso - 10 out of 10, the chips were delicious and the queso was good too. Shrimp cocktail was basic but good Wedge salad with shrimp, delicious and good dressing. Seared branzino was flaky and delicious, but will try grilled next time. The mashed potatoes were good and most of the vegetables. We got the creme brûlée but wasn't a big fan , the custard was a bit thick and not smooth. I would opt for something else next time. Will definitely go back to try more things as well. I think only 2 ppl were working but service was still good and we felt bad that every thing was on them.

We usually don't eat out during this window because service, and or food quality begins to wain. However...we were pleasantly surprised! We were promptly greeted and seated, and within minutes by our waiter Benjamin (I believe that was his name). He brought out fresh piping hot rolls and our drinks. Our order was out within minutes! Our food looked and tasted absolutely delicious!!! This is now my new favorite spot, and I'll look for Benjamin as well. The restaurant isn't fancy, but has a nice vibe. I especially like the patio area, which looked peaceful and inviting . I did notice the patio chairs seemed to have open sides which I like. I'm hoping to plan an afternoon out with some friends. Oh! I forgot, I had the mango lemonade which was very refreshing! Give them a try, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
