Pimento Cheese Sandwich
Rachel N.

Quaint sandwich place with a nice selection. I had the pimento cheese sandwich and 2 sides of fruit instead of chips or cookie. Sandwich was refreshing and savory. Super nice and quiet to chat with friends over lunch.

The food was absolutely fresh and delicious! Yvonne provided great service and attentive to my needs for catering my work function. Well packaged boxes. The only disappointment I had was the charge for names on the boxes for .75, that was done in a sharpie and small. I was expecting at least a label with a name on it. This was an added feature that wasn't worth the cost. Outside of that, food was great! I will be patronizing this place again.

this place is very very weird. I say this because of the following reasons: 1. i walk in the store, see all these old people (grandma grandpa) and they were staring at me as if I don't belong here. 2. The ambience is a cafeteria for older people. and there is nothing wrong with it but the vibe was just so sad. Even the workers seemed like they don't want to be there, working like robots. No greetings or anything... very strange. 3. the sandwich is basic af. i ordered shrimp salad sandwich and it came with shrimp celeries and lettuce. and it gets more weird because they gave me pickles wrapped in this plastic bag and one mint candy.. and they gave me one single napkin which wasn't enough because when I opened the sandwich all the ingredients fell out. 4. As I was leaving, walking towards my car, this old man honks at me signaling me to leave asap so he can park his car there. im so shocked at this behavior like who does that? overall i was expecting some cute aesthetic sandwich shop however left unwelcomed, never want to go back here again. maybe they should change their sign to old people only or something.

Great sandwiches / full meal with quick service and an array of options! You're lunch will be somewhere between $11-$17 average here depending on how you slice it. Great spot when in a crunch & looking for some quality quick!

Picnic Box Lunch
Jeremy K.

I was craving a sandwich the other day, so I decided to give Picnic a try. Pick up was easy - they have a make shift drive through in the parking lot, so you don't even have to get out of the car. I ordered a Picnic Box Lunch with a Roast Beef Sandwich, Chips, Fruit Salad, pickle, and Chocolate Pecan Cookie. Overall, it was a fine meal, especially if you're literally taking it on a picnic, or ordering boxed lunches for some sort of luncheon or event. Other than that though, it was just a meriocre lunch. The sandwich was pretty basic, with a pile of roast beef in the center (that's a pet peeve of mine... Spread it out across the bread!). The bread was good though and tasted fresh. The cookie was the star though - it tasted homemade and freshly baked. Next time I'll get my sandwich elsewhere but swing by for a cookie!

A simple sandwich shop for box lunches. Nothing fancy but I think the sandwiches are good and they have good portions. Staff is friendly and the establishment is clean with a very casual atmosphere. Box lunches include a sandwich, chips, fruit, pickle, and a cookie for $10. Easy and satisfying for lunch meetings at work. I

Chicken Salad
Michelle O.

The shrimp salad sandwich was pretty good. The shrimp was plump and the celery was crispy. The sauce is very fluid and not a creamy sauce. The hoagie bread is a bit dry, which is understandable because the salad is so wet. The fruit cup had a variety of fruit in it. The chocolate chip and pecan cookie was pretty good in general. I prefer a more chewy cookie but it was crispy with chunks of chocolate and pecans. I tried a bite of the chewy chocolate and preferred that because it was like a moist brownie in cookie form. I hadn't tried the Deep River chips before. They're greasy, thick and full of thick black pepper (salt and pepper flavor). Each bag donates to charity, which is nice. The chicken salad looked good, so I decided to try it. It had good-sized chunks of chicken in it and wasn't too dry. I tried the Turkey sandwich too. The bread was a little dry, and the turkey was a little salty. It looked good, although the avocado was spread instead of sliced like I expected. They have nice interior and patio seating.

In our freezer after last order. You may not be as compulsive as I am, if not, Picnic will sell a single package.

We moved from California and returned to Houston in December. An unanticipated benefit of the move: I am fewer than ten blocks from Picnic. We had continued ordering granola for delivery to California, now I call, drive down the street and pick up my order. If you have not tried Picnic granola, you do not know what you are missing. The soups, breads and sandwiches are great as well.

Chicken salad sandwich
Melissa M.

Recently we got box lunches from Picnic several times over the course of three weeks. The box lunches were all ok, nothing spectacular. They definitely seem over priced for what you get. The bread was always a little dry. The chicken salad was very good, I'd get that again and again if I had to go back. The sun dried tomatoes in the chicken salad give it that little bit of extra punch. I had the ham and cheese on one of the days we ordered from Picnic and it was disappointing. The fruit salad side had way too much cheap melon in it. Melon is such a filled fruit. We liked that they delivered to Rice U, so that was a bonus. There was just nothing that made me want to go there again after trying them 3 times throughout our 3 weeks. They need to make the lunches cheaper or add something to them. 2 stars because I wouldn't choose to go there, even for a quick take out.

Solid, classic sandwiches. No frills. Relaxed atmosphere. Would consider doing the "boxed lunch" with the family someday. Sounds fun.

The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

Hands down one of my favorite salad/sandwich spots in Houston. They are a little pricey but it's…read moreworth it due to the quality of their ingredients and the size of your portion. A "zeppelin" (salad stuffed in bread) includes 4 ingredients and a salad includes six. You have the option to order a zeppelin or salad that is on the menu or you can build your own. I think it's cool that they make their croutons from the bread they take out to make the zeppelin shape. They also offer bread pudding, soups and specially crafted lemonades. The staff is always so sweet and ask the right questions to ensure they are making my order correctly. I would recommend downloading their app to benefit from special promotions and to earn points per purchase. After downloading the app, they give you $5 off towards your first purchase!

Came here after trying the downtown Dallas location literally a day later with my friend and I was…read moreimmediately obsessed . I ordered the Tejano Cesar Zepplin and added double chicken, pickled onions and halved tomatoes with a side of tomato, basil soup and it was all so good. I've never had a zeppelin until before now and it's the best way to describe it is that it's the cross between a sandwich and a salad. What it is exactly is a loaf of bread with the inside taken out so that it's like more of a shell and then it is a salad bowl like mixture stuffed in there. I feel like it's the perfect lunch because It's super filling, but also very light, and healthy! What more can you ask for. Wish I could even give this location 6 stars because I came about 40 minutes before close and he gave me 2 bread puddings for free because they were about to close.

The staff, manager or owner, even takes time to stop by to tables to speak to the guests. We dropped by on Tuesday for dinner. I wish I saw the Icee machine before I ordered my fountain drink! I had the bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries and throughly enjoy the size of the burger. The fries were great, generous portion. My husband's chicken club sandwich with regular fries was also delicious! We got the order within 10 mins, didn't take too long. They have big patio seating, clean indoor seating, some arcades to keep the kiddos (or me) busy while waiting for the food. There are plenty of self-service condiments as well. Clean bathrooms, good amount of parking. This is one of my new favorite place for burgers!

Brad, my nephew, who is not a foodie,wanted to pick a restaurant that was reasonably close to all of us. He decided on Hungry's in the village. I said fine only because I wanted to take Melvin out and food was not the important criteria. Ok, about the restaurant. In a word, the food was in the pedestrian class of places that I would have picked. Looking at the menu beforehand I looked for something that the restaurant couldn't screw up. My three choices were Meatloaf with mash potatoes and green beans, Chicken Fried Steak with mash potatoes and green beans, and Chicken Pot Pie with yes you guessed it. Melvin went for the meatloaf, Brad chose a meat and chicken kabob that I hope was better than it looked, and my wife, a.k.a.,Love Muffin chose the trout that was smothered with Pineapple salsa and other stuff Personally, I don't like food that is smothered in anything. The food, as I expected, was mediocre. The waitstaff were very friendly, polite, and came right away after noticing all our waving hands that were visible over a lot of empty tables. The only redeeming quality was that for the four of us the bill was $155.00 including wine. As they say, you get what you pay for. It's not fine dining but if you have a large family and a budget, you can't go wrong with Hungry's for dinner.
