    the front of the building
    HsiaoCheng W.

    I was with a child and we felt a bit uncomfortable with all the employee sitting around in the customer seating area shooting the sh*t, so we left as we needed a place to sit down to eat. Let me be clear. The workers were not working and were not having lunch. 4 of them were all sitting at the same table shooting the sh*t. And that's fine. But I just don't care for that environment. Maybe you do. The temperature outside the day we went was mid 50's. No stores were closed due to weather.

    Cajun Chicken and Penne
    Brandon F.

    I just have to mention how great JP's service was! He really went above and beyond to help me choose the perfect dish. I was craving something spicy, so he recommended the Cajun pasta, and it was absolutely fantastic. Cooked to perfection!

    MMG Wrap with side salad.

    Found this little gym on my health kick. This is my new addiction. This place satisfies the health nut or the average person. They have it all out for u to read can satisfy any diet. But the big thing is the food can be guilt free and good. The wrap was fresh and the chicken was cooked on the spot. I would just ask for extra sauce. I'm a saucy person. But I can't wait to be back to try the burgers and pasta and protein shakes. Servers were nice and paying attention, and owners were watching, making sure everyone was taken care of.

    Amazing food amazing service can't wait to go again I can't believe I have been working around here over a year and I barely saw this place

    Burger (not cooked through)
    Charley G.

    Cool place and good food! Their burgers taste really good and are pretty healthy at the core, so you don't feel guilty for eating a "cheat meal." My favorite dish: the turkey chili bowl. 5/5. I had the privilege to meet the owner today, and It seems he cares about the food quality in addition to his customers' experience. Would definitely recommend!

    Chicken Caesar with shrimp at home:)'
    James R.

    Sitting at home after 8pm I just didn't feel like going anywhere so I hopped on Uber Eats searched under healthy and this place came up I had heard about them so onto the menu. I chose a Grilled chicken Caesar salad and which I added protein grilled shrimp and OMG! This has to be one of the best Caesar salad I've ever had I think the only thing that could've made it better would be fresh Parmesan didn't really realize it was missing that until just now while writing the review though. Maybe it's because I haven't been eating well the last two weeks but nevertheless it was an absolute lifesaver and I will be ordering again.

    Rocky Wrap
    Greg B.

    They serve really good food for reasonable prices with an emphasis on healthy without necessarily being salads. Located next to the venerable Briargrove Pharmacy and 24 Hour Fitness parking lot on San Felipe at Winrock. I had the Rocky Wrap with a side of steamed broccoli and a Coke Zero. I was trying to be good today and this filled me up without blowing my diet. Good flavors with chicken breast, turkey meatballs, a little mozzarella and marinara sauce in the Rocky wrap. While some of the other reviewers seemed to have nit picky problems with this restaurant, I really liked it. I don't get how our experiences could be this different. Bring the bar down in terms of expectations with restaurants like this where you can easily get in and out for $12 per person. This is not supposed to be Tony's in Greenway Plaza.

    Finally found something that provides healthy options other than salad in Houston. Small location, but they are efficient in the space. Order at the counter, then the meal is served to you at a table or at the "bar". My meal the SantaFe wrap and a side Caesar salad that was included was prepared fresh. Here is the great part, it was very flavorful! Not overwhelmed with sauce. The chicken was lean but not dried out! Today I did eat the jalapeno wrap, but if you are on the Keto diet, it is easy to eat just the protein out of the dish. Glad I found this gem! Typically this area does not offer many healthy eating choices that actually taste good. I will be returning anytime I am in the area!!

    Can you even find the chicken under all of the sauce?
    Sarah H.

    Not good at all. The only reason that this is not one star is because they got the order right. Haha! I know that delivery won't be as good as the in-restaurant dining, but these were definitely not all delivery related issues. The Texas was nearly inedible! 1)The chicken was so hard tough that it broke the plastic knife it came with. I couldn't even eat a few pieces of it. 2)There was WAY too much sauce. I felt like I ordered sauce with a side of chicken and broccoli. I ended up cleaning a lot of it off with napkins. 3)The cheese used looked and tasted like shredded sliced cheese. It was not good, and just slid off the chicken in sheets. The Burger was bland and soggy. I imagine that was because of the condensation from the heat in the box. The Burger could be better packaged for delivery. I'm not sure how they expect bread to fare well in a completely tight sealed plastic box that's barely big enough for the burger. I had to call to get the nutrition information on the slice of cheesecake because it was not advertised. They weren't even able to tell me more than that it had 30 carbs, 4 grams of fiber, 4 grams of sugar, and no indication on how much of that is sugar substitute. Not a great thing for someone who is ordering sugar-free cheesecake. Lastly, I paid $2.99 for a "side" of guacamole, and got the tiniest amount of guac. It was maybe the amount of a melon baller scoop. NOT worth $2.99. The whole meal cost basically $30 and was not an enjoyable lunch. Definitely do not understand the hype.

Service was amazing-- we loved our waiter who was a combination of polite, funny, and knowledgeable, and everyone gave us a smile. All the dishes were beautifully presented and flavorful but definitely on the heavier side. - Beet salad (5/5)-- wow, never had a beet salad like this one before! So much flavor with a tanginess from vinegar sweetened by the blueberries and beets. The beets didn't taste very earthy (aka like dirt) compared to most beet salad. This was really well executed :) - Caesar salad (3.5/5)-- Credence's spin on Caesar, which according to my Caesar salad pro diner, didn't really taste like Caesar salad. Also very tangy and tart but the pro still enjoyed it as a salad dish. - Roasted cabbage (4/5)-- big fan of the way they roasted this, perfect tenderness without being cabbage mush! Definitely a heavy dish, especially for a vegetable option, as it was swimming in a butter cream sauce that started to congeal as it cooled off. Would choose this more as an indulgent appetizer rather than a healthy veggie option. I wonder if one could ask for the sauce on the side... - Tuna tostada (3.5/5)-- if you like strong flavors, this one packs a punch. The gochujang aioli beneath the tuna is really concentrated, making it difficult to taste the actual tuna. There's a bit of heat but thankfully I wouldn't say it was spicy. Fun to try. The tostada itself was very dense and almost a bit bread-y versus a crispy chip texture. - Crab fried rice (4/5)-- comes with lobster foam that is mixed table side and a generous amount of crabmeat lumps. The rice actually had a nice texture without being too... grainy / individualized, but it was too salty for me. - Akaushi Wagyu beef (4.5/5)-- loved the texture which was tender but with some chew (was expecting more of a melt-in-the-mouth texture though) and the veggies that it came with. It was heavily salted, too much so for me. Would've been perfect with less salt since there's already a chimichurri sauce with it. - Peanut butter tart (4.5/5)-- peanut butter lovers rejoice! The chocolate filling was rich, thick, and sweet which was complemented nicely with the whipped cream (not sweet at all). The peanut flavor really shined. The crust didn't have much of a taste by itself and was sandy in texture, not sure if on purpose or over-baked and dried out. Either way, the tart looked impressive when it arrived and was delectable-- my favorite bite of the night! Overall a nice experience! Although there was a mess up and the rest of our two salads and crab rice wasn't packed with our other food to take home; I was pretty sad about that since it was quite a bit of food (and $$). I might return for that peanut butter tart, but everything else was too heavy and too salty for me. I'm personally not a huge butter fan, but if you are, definitely make a reservation for a special occasion or date!

The service was 10/10, food was amaaaazing. We looked at other reviews before going and went with an app we didn't hear much about, but an entree that we did hear amazing things about. Appetizer: everyone talks about the dilly bread but honestly, the puff puff pass sounded better, esp the scotch bonnet aioli. 10/10 loved the flavors together, esp the fried bread with the aioli Entrees: we had the pork belly special and the nono's pasta. Everyone raves about the pasta and rightfully so. The noodles with the right amount of bolognese was such a flavorful comfort food. The pork belly was also delicious but the pasta hit better.

Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem!

It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy.

The next morning, we called the restaurant and asked whether anything had been turned in. We were told that nothing had been found. Using Apple's Find My feature, we were able to determine that the belongings were still at the restaurant. We returned, and only then were the items produced. The explanation we received raised serious concerns and did not match what we had been told earlier. Instead of taking ownership of the situation, responsibility appeared to be shifted elsewhere. What made the experience even worse was the apparent effort to prevent us from speaking directly with a manager who was present. As customers, we expected transparency, accountability, and urgency when dealing with valuable personal property--not conflicting explanations and barriers to getting answers. A restaurant's reputation isn't just built on its food; it's built on trust. When guests entrust their belongings to a business, intentionally or accidentally, they deserve honesty and professionalism. Thankfully, the items were eventually recovered, but only after we located them ourselves. Had we not used Apple's tracking technology, I genuinely question whether they would have been returned. Management should conduct a thorough investigation into how this situation was handled and take responsibility for improving its procedures. No customer should have to track down their own belongings after being told they were never found.
