    Dropped in after work to try out the steak night special. I beat my friends so I indulged in a little happy hour snack. I got the pisco punch which is a cocktail made with a grape brandy made in Chile. My friends had some other cocktails and everyone enjoyed. My nachos came without the chicken my server was slammed with a 12 top so after waiting about 10 mins I decided to just eat them cuz I was starving. As for steak night it is truly smaller portions compared to other places. However probably a proper portion minus the veggies. We literally got 3 asparagus spears lol. I feel like the steak wasn't seasoned well which forced us to use a1. A good steak won't need any extra. I would return just not for steak

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Second time here. We sat outside this time. Great weather and atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming waiters. Great menu options.

    Chips & Queso

    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.

    Burger bites (Bacon Cambozola)

    Tried out On The Kirb for happy hour on Friday afternoon. Not too busy. Plenty of parking available. And the vibe was good. Had the burger bites and a Paloma which were both pretty good! Our server was friendly and answered all of our questions. The only thing is that the food was taking a bit long to come out and a few of the drinks were delayed. Overall good experience!

    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.

    Open!

    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!

Not one person came to even say "hello, we'll be right with you"... nothing. The staff member that I mentioned earlier setting up heaters; he looked our tables direction (since we took it upon ourselves to sit), and did nothing. Not a menu on the table, not a straw, nothing. I was highly disappointed and won't be returning. It's unfortunate that such a highly respected place doesn't have that same equal service for all customers. We surely took our money elsewhere... where we were at least greeted.

I've been once or twice years ago and recently…read moredecided to give it another try, hoping for a different experience, but unfortunately I still left unimpressed. To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.
