My favorite place in Houston! Food and service is great, our cool bartender Kaira is amazing and bilingual

On The Kirb is hands down my favorite organic sports bar. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, energetic, and clean--exactly what you want whether you're watching a game, grabbing a casual meal, or meeting friends. What really sets this place apart is the food. Everything tastes fresh, thoughtfully made, and you can tell they truly care about using quality, organic ingredients. It's so refreshing to find a sports bar where you can eat well and still enjoy classic comfort favorites without the heavy, greasy feeling. The menu has something for everyone, the flavors are on point, and the portions are generous without being over-the-top. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there, which makes the experience even better. Add in the great drink options and multiple TVs for games, and it's the perfect balance of fun and health-conscious. On The Kirb proves you don't have to sacrifice quality for atmosphere. Whether you're into clean eating, great food, or just a solid place to hang out, this spot absolutely delivers. Highly recommend--this place is a gem. read more

I genuinely don't understand what this place is trying to be. If you're going to call yourself a sports bar, then act like one. Showing a big game or tournament with no sound--because, as the manager said, it "kills the vibe"--completely misses the point of a sports bar. Instead, you get a playlist that feels like it hasn't been updated in decades. I legit just heard "We Built this City on Rock and Roll"--Rolling Stone honoree as the worst song ever--for the second time. Nothing current, nothing energetic, nothing that matches the moment. It's a strange disconnect--big screens, big games, and then... background music that feels like you wandered into the wrong bar. There's potential here, but the experience just doesn't line up with the concept. If you're going to lean into sports, lean all the way in. Otherwise, call it something else. read more

I live in a penthouse within walking distance and wanted this to become a regular spot, but that won't be happening. The place was maybe 10% full. It took five minutes just to get acknowledged. I ordered a beer and a Coke Zero. The Coke Zero was regular Coke, and the beer wasn't what I ordered. After that, the bartender disappeared. Four bartenders stood at the other end of the bar talking to each other while four of us sat there being completely ignored. I tried multiple times to get someone's attention and was ignored every time. After 15 minutes, I got up and left. If this is the level of service when they're slow, there's no reason to come back. read more

Organic food ... yes please! Visiting 3rd location! Service and atmosphere: Our server was very friendly, professional, food and drink knowledgeable and made us feel welcome throughout the entire experience. The restaurant is well designed, decorated, clean and inviting. They offer good number of TVs to watch sports too. You can dine inside and outside. Food and drinks: Outstanding in both areas. We are thrilled to have found this organic food eatery. Its farm to table organic certified style is what attracted us the most. Additionally, they use beef tallow upon request, bye seed oils! The food selection was great and foods ordered were presented well and prepared with care. All dishes were well seasoned and had good flavours. Using flour from Italy for making in-house pizza is worth noting. We didn't try their cocktails but they looked good on the menu. Pricing: $$ - not overpriced at all for the quality of products provided. We will definitely become regular customers at their restaurants. read more

Absolutely love this place for game night, happy hour and even brunch. I visited over the weekend recently both Saturday and Sunday for brunch and both visits were amazing. The food is always fresh and delicious and the presentation is top notch. The service is also friendly and fast. The avocado toast and the off menu brunch boards are highlights for brunch and the truffle fries are a must anytime! read more

Wow; their staff needs to get it together. No toilet paper in the stalls, dirty cutlery and plates, all of the condiments were erroring on basic empty. Service sub par. read more

This is our current game watching venue of choice. Use to go the the location on Kirby, but the parking there is booboo. Ample shared parking, lots of seating options (we do make reservations), tons of TVs and good food! Service has always been pretty good; occasionally they get slammed and it backs up a bit but overall no problem. Managers are usually helping and monitoring the floor regularly. Faves include the pizzas, nachos, pretzel, and salmon. read more

This is not my first rodeo with on the curb. I normally go to the one in Katie, but we were trying to watch the Super Bowl and we were already close to this area so we ended up going here. The piece is always good however, this time the pizza at the bottom was really flimsy so even when I warmed it up at home, it was almost like doughy .. I think it may have been undercooked a bit The wings were good The nachos are always great and the truffle fries were good as well The impossible burger was OK but the brussels sprouts were burnt lol Overall, the ambience was very nice. They may need more waitress or waiters because the wait time was a little bit long so maybe that's a cooking issue! Overall I'm gonna get four stars because I normally go to the one in Katy and it seems as though this chain restaurant is pretty good read more

On The Kirb has a fun, lively vibe that is great for brunch. The mimosa towers were enormous and served in a super tall, cylindrical pitcher. The nachos were just okay, but the truffle fries were amazing and crispy and dipped in the delicious ranch was mouth watering. Service was a bit slow at times, but everyone was friendly. The restaurant is very spacious with a nice patio seating area as well. There's plenty of free parking too. read more

Usually, sports bar food is kinda meh. Low expectations, right? It's all about watching games? I tell you what - the one place that I know of that bucks this trend is On The Kirb. The food is LEGIT. My main go-to is usually the shrimp cavatappi pasta. Delicious. But I've also tried the pizzas before. They're tasty! And the wings! And the chips 'n queso? I recommend adding the ground beef in the queso. Yummyyyyyyy Service was also off the charts. I was there to watch a game of my friend's alma mater that wasn't on any of the TV's and was hard to find a way to make it work and not get some other customer there at least somewhat irritated. The manager, Gavin, kindly explained this to me but said, as soon as my friend arrived, he would try to find a way. True to his word, as soon as my friend arrived, there was Gavin coming to our table and he figured out a way for our game to be on one of the screens! Highly impressed by this service instead of the typical "sorry we just can't do this today" that I might get elsewhere in a similar situation. From a sports bar perspective, this is a good place if you have one main game that everyone wants to watch. It's become a tradition for me to watch Longhorn games here with my UT buddies. The food truly sets it apart, which is important because for all those coming to join who may not be as into sports, there needs to be more than just sports that appeals, and the food seriously appeals. It's smart to set a reservation ahead of time, if possible. Also, there is a good amount of parking, as this Greenway location is part of a bigger plaza. I'm also a fan of the Kirby location for the same food reasons, but Greenway has more parking. I'll be back! This remains a serious go-to place for me for those one-game viewing gatherings with friends. read more

Pretty good place with drinks and food! Decent seating inside and out for a sports bar. Plenty of parking in the shopping center, and lots of people going in and out during this time. I went during lunch time for some lunch with a friend. Service was friendly and pretty quick. We shared a chips and queso appetizer which was supper delicious. For entrees, we had the shrimp tacos, the chicken wrap and a side of fries, which all in total was decently sized and more than enough for us both. They were all delicious and the fries were a nice crispy you don't see nowadays. Would definitely come back to try more options and actual drinks, maybe during the evening. read more

As a fan of On the Kirb on Kirby and in Midtown, I was excited to see the new location in Greenway Plaza right on 59 outbound! They opened middle December for their soft opening. The grand opening is scheduled for January 10, 2025. Emily was our attentive server. I got a seasonal apple pie tini that she recommended. Good choice! Chips & queso, truffle fries, giant pretzels are some of my go-to-must-order items. This is in the old Cafe Express and Valencia's spot between Potbelly & TDECU. This location has the same great staff, same ambiance with the dark stained wood booths, and most importantly, the same great menu items & cocktails! Met some friends here on a Saturday evening. They have perfect tables for larger groups. This location is not listed on their website yet, but check them out on instagram. With the daily specials, great happy hour menu, and perfectly cooked pizzas, this is the place to go for fresh ingredients, organic options, and sports. The front patio is covered and larger than the Kirby location, so you can sit outside year round. Congrats to OTK for opening y'all's fourth location! read more

On The Kirb - Open! - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was so excited to see a new On the Kirb location because I have always loved their happy hours. I think this new location has some kinks to work out. I love the space, it's big with a lot of TVs, a great place to watch a game. Server was really nice, but it did take a long time to get water, I think she just forgot the first time we asked. I ordered a caprese burger and requested it be cooked medium. The meat was definitely over cooked, there was zero red in the middle of the patty. The patty was kind of salty. I like the caprese toppings. The fries are tasty but the serving is kind of stingy. I think many other entrees are better, especially the pizzas. Overall, a little pricey for what I got. But the HH deals are great. We went on a Friday and it's half off wine bottles on Fridays which is a good deal. read more

First day of work so of course I had to try a new place. There is a decent size patio and plenty of tables inside. We were quickly sat even at prime lunch time in the Greenway area. We started off with the falafel and veggies. Honestly decent amount of veggies and falafels provided. I'd have liked a bit more flavor in the hummus but overall not bad. For my meal, I had the chicken shawarma wrap. The thick pickles honestly through me off. The chicken flavor was great through. The waitress was sweet but considering we were one of about five tables in the restaurant I wondered where she was most of the time. I'd have liked a bit better of service for the number of guests. Overall I'd go back once they maybe have a bit more experience. read more

I'd say a 4.0 is pretty spot on. Ambiance is nice as it's not too fancy but feels like higher quality (tshirt and jeans type). Pizza was decent, although texture wise was a little softer than we would have liked. The salmon dish was best of the plates ordered (nice crust and not overcooked!). Fish tacos good, nothing to really write home about. Chicken wrap was fine but price point felt a little off. Ordered a good amount of beers and drinks but I would say go during happy hour to really get a better experience and bang for your buck. Service was strange? The host was super friendly and checked on us which felt nice but our server was hard to come by. I'd say it's a nice one time go type of restaurant. read more

Arrive there tonight around 7:30pm, I sat outside , my server ( can't get right) was all over the place .. I ordered the chips and queso as an appetizer a top Chef margarita and water with lemon and since it was Wednesday, I wanted the steak for the steak night special. The young lady brought me my water and my margarita. Next thing she brought was my steak. I said what happened to my chips in case so she said oh I forgot to put it in. I said OK don't worry about it so I asked for a one sauce the first bottle she brought me was empty. The second bottle she brought me was empty. I had to get up and go to someone else to get a bottle that actually had some A1 sauce in it so needless to say, she didn't get a tip for me. read more

Stopped in to this restaurant for the first time last night, nice service, not busy at all. We ordered the chips and queso with beef, and two kebab plates that our waitress mentioned to us that was off the menu. One chicken and one beef kebab. We did not order any drinks aside from one sweet tea and water. The food was good, fresh. However we were a little taken aback by the $110 bill at the end. It wasn't a problem but it would have maybe been nice to have been made aware the kebab plates were going to be over $40 each? That's wild considering the other prices on the menu being so much lower, even the filet mignon dish was cheaper! It was good food but given the lack of transparency and pricing themselves that high lost my desire to ever return. I wouldn't recommend going here if you're looking for something casual, however the vibe is actually casual, but the prices are not. read more

Food was excellent. I had the pasta shrimp and it was amazing with two little garlic bread. My husband had the omelette he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Love this location! Great food and even better ambiance for a girls night out!! The service was great and timely!

The food at this place is sub-par. Which is to be expected at a sports bar. However, the service here has been awful every time I have gone here. The food takes forever to come out of the kitchen especially with bigger parties. Our waitress Liz made us wait close to 15 minutes for to-go boxes and then an additional 10 minutes for the check. We just wanted a easy burger on a Saturday night. There were no watch parties going on or big crowds. I'm very disappointed in this restaurant and I have tried it about 4 times due to location and it has always had the same results. Would not recommend. Will not be returning. read more

Watered down drinks. Food is horrible. Subpar service. Disgusting and disrespectful attitudes. Shall never return to Greenway location. On the Kirb- on Kirby rocks.
