Eh, it was alright. We found a Groupon for a group a 4 for one course and figured why not try it out. We got here 6pm on a Friday and it wasn't too busy. My first impression of this place was how dirty and messy it was. There were empty glasses/bottles everywhere. There were tons of employees, but none of them seemed to care. Each course was pretty short but we had fun. Our group of 4 took about 30 min to finish it. I think if the place was cleaner and the courses were longer I would have more positive things to say. If you can find a coupon then I would say it's worth it but paying original price for this dump is not worth it!

We were walking around down town and stumbled upon this place. So glad we went it. It's only 14$ for 9 holes you can do all 32 but we just did the 9 holes. Got a bite and few drinks at bar. Food we delicious. Drinks were spot on.

Love this place! Tons of fun and a great twist on mini golf. I don't know if I could ever go back to a normal mini golf course because this place is so cool and they are constantly running good deals on rounds. Ambiance is great, the staff are nice, and a great place to go even if you just want to kill time for an hour like me. You can play for just one round or make a whole day out of it and have so much fun either way. Their flatbread pizzas are surprisingly good as well! I just did one round and got 25th place on today's leaderboard!

tldr; high-tech fun concept, but a bit pricey. I've been a couple times and had fun each time. You can make reservations ahead of time to save time. You check in upstairs and go through a brief tutorial. The technology tracks each stroke so you don't have to keep score and it's more difficult to cheat. You can also play the holes out of order if there's a big group in front of you. Each hole has a difficult obstacle that earns your bonus points. It's nice to be inside especially during the Houston summer. The game goes fairly quickly. The game play is accessible for a wide variety from family fun to corporate group outings to date night. Overall it's a fun concept with decent food. Downtown parking might be tricky. Apparently they validate parking so maybe it's not so bad.

Your typical mini golf course, just overrated Tried to book online however even though I was told by two different staff members I could just book for my two kids that's not the case. Online and at the kiosk an adult purchase is required (so I just paid for one adult and one junior and let my kids play) total was about $25 (for 9 holes) they have different courses and our course was chosen for us at booking. We got the emerald course. You dont get to pick which holes you want to play. As we waited for our time slot I ordered a cocktail which was about $17. Pricey and not that good of a drink. Honestly this place is underwhelming.

What a great activity for downtown Houston! Reservations were easy to do online and we showed up and were given our designated courses. We opted for 18 holes and there are 4 sections broken down in 9 holes each. Once you complete a section you can either take a break for food or drink and continue on to the next 9. Food and drinks were good! One of the cool things is that each putt hole has a screen to monitor progress and you can jump around to different holes if it's busy as long as you don't play hole 9 until your ready to be finished. Each hole on each section has some really unique and fun obstacles and it's fun for any age. For 18 holes and a break for food, it took about 2 hours. Again a great activity to change up the usual downtown vibe.

We had a great time at putt-putt golf and was surprised by how good the food was! Polite and helpful staff and good process for the flow of players as well as dining. Sorry I forgot to take pics of the food! I am a serious foodie and very discriminating but can recommend everything we had from the chicken & waffles flatbread, the Brussels sprouts (without bacon), the spicy fried Atlanta Hot chicken sandwich, Thai Fried Chicken to the Texas Tail Pipes! All was crispy fried to perfection ( I don't normally eat FIRED ANYTHING, but when in Rome! The good thing is there was no heavy, sleepy feeling after the food settled. Each dish was seasoned to perfection, sauces were so tasty too. All came out too quickly and we were hungry so no pics! Great beer on tap and my glass was so huge I had to take it with me to finish while we played! Yep there were stations at each hole where you can sit your drink! Wait, I failed to mention how much FUN and exciting the round of putting was. Each hole had a different theme and some good trivia questions you could shoot for to get extra points. Grown folk trivia that included some 90's rap data that I was surprised the kids knew! So it was super fun for all generations.

Ladies and gentlemen!! If you're looking for a place to go for a date night or just to have some fun like a pregame!! This is your place to go. The golf was really really fun and I enjoyed the drinks from the bar. We had great service. Everything was nice and clean.

ATL burger with garlic fries
LaMecia M.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate a birthday. Surprisingly, the playing areas had a steady stream of people however, it was not crowded. One thing that helps move the crowd through unlike similar places, is that you can play out of order of the "greens" because your ball is monitored. I appreciated that because groups of 4-5 can cause a delay for some of the games that require you to wait for the right moment to hit the ball. We enjoyed navigating through the course. I wish there was an explainer card next to each and also that the scoring was explained - somehow the worst golfer in our group seemed to be the winner with the most points, but overall it was a fun time. The seating area is HUGE - and there's a separate room overlooking McKinney that has a private bar and is likely great for private events. I was surprised by how empty it was in there, but grateful when it came time to eat after our game and our food came out within ten minutes of ordering. The food was great. Everyone enjoyed their dishes from the ATL, lettuce wraps, beignets and Pigtails. I ordered the pigtails and loved that it benefited the Houston Food Bank, but it was also a great "try." The eggroll shell was light but crisp, and the sauce paired perfectly with the mac and cheese. This is a great place to go grab a bite downtown if they have availability and you just need a quick bite. Whether greeting, serving or just standing around, the staff was extremely friendly and seemed to get along - not something you always see, so it was refreshing. Shoutout goes to Muna for taking our group photo to document our outing at the end of our game.

First time being there it was such a fun date night idea! I definitely recommend if you are going to play a game try and play atleast two games to keep the fun going , although there is other places you could go if you are looking for a more affordable price. A game for two it was $30 including tax The food and drinks were great and the service was amazing we had our server check on us ,very sweet and attentive. Definitely get out there and check it out lots of photography shots you can do there And as expected is downtown guys you will have to find a parking garage or somewhere where you don't get towed. Have fun!

First time here, after lots of social media pop ups. Location is in downtown, parking options are garage or street parking. We arrived early for which it was still pretty empty and we were able to enjoy. Once you arrive you check in upstairs, you have the option of purchasing a game or games. Once you purchase you choose which lane you will like. You are able to play multiple times as long as you don't play the last part. Overall place was kept clean, staff was nice and restaurant was good.

Thai fried chicken bites with Thai sesame peanut sauce
Annalisa P.

I quite enjoyed Puttshack. I've been to Puttery, which is similar. Puttshack is located downtown off McKinney, so you can park at any of those downtown garages nearby. When I first walked in to meet my date, I saw a few HPD officers standing at the entrance downstairs. You walk up a long flight of stairs to where the games and bar area is. We got drinks and food at the bar first. The Thai chicken bites with peanut sauce was good, but the garlic parm fries weren't. It wasn't crispy enough, and the garlic flavor seemed a bit off. I ordered a French 75 cocktail which wasn't on the menu. They have a full service bar, so you can request what you want if you don't see anything on the menu that you like. We paid for one round at the kiosks, and someone brought us golf clubs. The place was pretty empty for a Monday night, and it had just rained. This was literally the same week as the derecho that tore through Houston three days later. We thought we could choose another colored area to play in since the ones in the back were empty, but the color was pre-chosen for us. It's more of an open concept compared to Puttery which has themed rooms. I like that the putt putt area is more spread out than Puttery. You have more room to swing and not be so close to others. I also enjoyed the variety of trivia questions and the look of each hole. It seems less challenging than Puttery's crazy obstacles. After a round, we sat at one of the many seating areas and watched an Astros game on TV. We stayed till closing when one of the officers approached us that they'd be closing soon. Haha. All in all, I thought this was a fun place to go for a date or with a group of friends. I definitely saw a few large groups getting hyped during their play.

Our group

We planned our end of season intern event originally for July 8 but Hurricane Beryl caused other plans. Briana was my original sales rep and was great to work with. She even called me directly the day before to let me know the hurricane would force them to close. Amber helped me once I rescheduled. Rescheduling was super easy. We rescheduled for July 29. The place was easy to find and as soon as we got in, we were welcomed and taken to our area. Our group of 15 had a blast with good food and mini golf. We selected spread of onion dip, hummus, sliders with hamburger and chicken, jalapeno tator tots and chicken tenders. Food was plentiful and a big hit. It was served for 1 hour. Richard was our host and was very professional and attentive. I craved the tator tots the next morning, they were the best thing on the menu. Playing golf was easy, Ashton was our host and explained how to set up our teams and we were on our way. The golf balls were programmed to keep score and kept us on track with the course. After playing golf, we ordered a couple of desserts to share. Our event was over at 8pm. Parking was discounted at the garage for the first hour if there before 5pm. I found parking on the street. The only suggestion is to eat and then start playing. We lingered over the food so only had 1 hour to play golf. We rented out the entire course so could have played as many games as time allowed. Fun place and the price was pretty good.

Ask the Community - Puttshack - Houston

Is it 21 and up after a certain time?

It varies by location, but there is no 21+ restriction in our Houston venue

No, they don't validate. Parking is wherever you can find something reasonable in the area.

Hi Michael! It costs $14 dollars for adults and young adults, and $9 for juniors. Check out our website - https://www.puttshack.com/locations/houston - for more information on the venue, specials such as our weekday offer where you can get 50% off… Read more

Can a 5 year old play?

They could. Other kids are there, but I would not be my recommendation for someone that small on these types of holes. They are challenging and when crowded it gets chaotic in there.

Do they have a kids menu?

We do have a kids menu! Your server can provide one to you upon request.

After visiting Popstroke, Andretti, and Puttery, i'd say Puttshack has been the best place for mini golf in Houston.

Lovveeee anything Bludorn…read more Chose to revisit Bludorn for the start of my bday weekend and it did not disappoint. Service - top notch. Best service in Houston hands down. Food - you really can't go wrong with anything you order here. This time the highlights were definitely the duck and the rice. I could have eaten the rice as a meal and been very happy. Drinks - wine and cocktails 10/10 Parking - you might get lucky w self parking in the back of the restaurant otherwise it's valet for $8 right now. Make a reservation and wear something nice. Definitely a must try in Houston for an upscale experience.

We weren't drinking so we did mocktails. Their selection is solid. I recommend the Million Dollar Baby and the New Madness. For the oysters, we did 2 of each: fried, smoked and roasted. I would low key just come back for oysters next time. They were that damn good. I was let down by the dry-aged burger. Even though I ordered the burger as medium, it was pretty dry. I've had better burgers from joints around town. Not worth $24. The Chicken entree was an absolute let down. I won't even elaborate. Some of our favorite entrees were the carrot soup and crab rice. Both were out of this world. For me the food was 3/5, service (aside from staff forgetting occasion of visit) 5/5, value 3/5. Also valet parking is $8. I'm still undecided if I'll be back. Need to recover from spending $275 on a single dinner. Ouch.

Outside has fans and is covered. They can get pretty full so it's best to have a reservation through open table. I've tried and enjoyed both the bubbly and margarita flights.

The beans are also super flavorful and the French toast always done well and never soggy. I still haven't gone for dinner yet, but will try one day soon.

The fried chicken was well balanced, good brine and a crispy delicate batter. The bread with butter and jam was also quite decent.

Seems to be a martini place but I had a Manhattan and really enjoyed it, it was a strong drink but very tasty.

The pappardelle with the wide noodles was so fun and there was lots of parm which I liked, and the lemon zest was a nice touch. The squash was soft and I loved the ricotta. The campanelle was really unique with the crawfish and the spicy sauce, the noodle shape was so fun. The cheeseburger is tiny but mighty, super juicy and cheesy. The fries were perfectly crispy. Mango sorbet was packed full of mango flavor! Really enjoyed this spot, can't believe it took me so long to get here. Probably best to get a reservation. Small parking lot available.

Is this the most overrated restaurant in Houston?…read more After being on my "To Try" list for an unacceptable amount of time, I finally made my way over to Nancy's Hustle. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar with no reservation. I arrived about 30 minutes into open and there was already a wait list. I suggest getting there early or making a reservation if you're not a solo diner. The interior is nice and intimate, with low lighting that doesn't work well for photos but definitely for a cozy dinner. The set up and music reminded me a little bit of 93 Til due to the decor. I started with the duck dumplings and the Nancy cakes. I wasn't expecting it but they offer half orders which is great for a solo diner who wants to try multiple things. Both items were delicious. The dumplings had a nice savory sauce with some texture from the peanuts. These were great but probably my bottom of the list which is saying something. I would only say this because they reminded me a lot of the hot oil wontons from duck and bao so at that price point, you might as well get more. The Nancy cakes were pillowy and savory and made a great vessel for honey butter and roe. I even used a bit to dunk into the leftover dumpling sauce. I suggest eating these as soon as they hit your table. I was trying to savor my bites but the cakes benefit a lot from being nice and hot. It's not the most ground breaking dish in the world but it's done well and I would definitely call it a must order. I could have eating a full order of it alone. My main dishes is where my mind was blown. I went with the roast chicken and half order of the gem lettuce salad and fries. This might be the best roast chicken I've ever had in Houston. Chicken can be a hit or a miss because sometimes, there just isn't much flavor. This was absolutely not the case here. The chicken was juicy and seasoned to the core. It even heated up well as left overs without being dry. The chili sauce on the bottom was flavor intensified and as I swiped my chicken through the pools of sauce, I thought to myself "overrated where?!". The gem salad caught me by surprise. I'm not one to stay away from a salad at a restaurant because they typically do them better than you can make at home . Nancy's Hustle solidified this opinion. The salad was wonderfully briney and savory. The lettuce was crisp and covered in the herby shallot dressing that grabbed my taste buds. Topped with anchovies and pancetta for a nice salty touch. So so good. The fries were the perfect side, crisp and not too potatoey (yes this is a thing). I traded in the aoli for some ketchup because that's just my thing. I concluded this wonderful dining experience with a dessert. Buttermilk ice cream with cornflakes, black berries and honey butter cookie. This dessert was a lesson in balance. Every component was present , sweet, salty, crunchy, cool. Each bite had something new to offer and combined into a perfectly executed dessert. As a cocktail, I tried their tropical drink. I don't remember what it was called but I know I could have drank about 7 of those. This was a great dining experience. I think when things get popular, sometimes we feel the need to be contrarians with our experiences. That wasn't the case for me. Nancy's Hustle has earned its popularity and I'll definitely be back

I apologize for the low quality pictures but, everything was so good I couldn't wait to eat…read more Nancy cakes are a MUST TRY! The ricotta cavatelli was light and zesty and the shrimp was cooked to perfection.

I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

Flavors, flavors, flavors! This was another on our list of Michelin Bibendum spots to try, and we…read morethoroughly enjoyed the meal. We started with a dozen oysters 2 ways. The first were "natural" and nicely briny. The 2nd was pure genius: they said it would taste like a Big Mac, and they were spot on. Amazing! Steak Tartare - the steak and deviled egg mixture were satisfyingly velvety and the accompanying bread was buttery, chewy, and addictive; Puff Puff Pass - unique textures: crispy, chewy, smooth elements are married beautifully. Nonno's Pasta - this dish was my least favorite. I found the flavors to be too cheese forward with not enough acid; Jamon With Your Bad Self - while not much to look at, this dish was outstanding. The pork's texture was simply magical, and the flavors well-balanced. On the side, we had the Fingerlingin Good potatoes, and they lived up to their name: pleasantly crispy and bursting with savory goodness. Desserts: the Olive Oil Cake was a dream: incredibly moist and tender with vanilla richness and a kiss of lemon. The Black Bottom Pie was not my favorite. I would the salt to be too much and couldn't eat more than 2 bites because of it. Service: warm, gracious, attentive, and efficient. As for ambiance, this is where the restaurant misses the mark for me. It's in an old house, and when we walked in, that's exactly what I smelled: old house. Still, if you're looking for a unique, creative menu that delivers on flavors, add nobie's to your bingo card.

Elegant spot in downtown, great service and great variety of food. It does get very busy during lunch hour so reservations are needed.

Unfortunately, I've been consistently underwhelmed, especially considering the prices. Today, the bill was approximately $65 for two hamburgers, fries, an iced tea, and a Coke (and they even charge for Coke refills--my friend had two). Beyond the cost, they seem to treat ketchup like it's a luxury item. For two burgers and fries, they brought out a single small ramekin, and it always feels like you have to ask repeatedly for more. Another frustration is their attitude toward reservations. Every time I've visited, they've made a point of mentioning that I didn't have one. This time, I specifically made a reservation through OpenTable, only to later see it marked as canceled. I'm not sure why, but it certainly left a bad impression. Overall, the food is fine, but the combination of high prices, nickel-and-diming on basics, and the overall customer experience means this won't be one of my preferred lunch spots going forward.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Have had lunch here and now dinner. We first…read morevisited in The Woodlands. Such a good experience that we went last night for date night. First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour. Was seated at the bar so I got to watch it be made. The bartender- man that guy never stopped. He was organized and just did his thing. So many pretty drinks were made while I was there watching. The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it. Restaurant vibe is relaxed and clean. There were several large parties and what looked like a lot of date night guests. Just try it. No regrets!!

This was my second time dining here, and given the overwhelmingly positive reviews, my expectations…read morewere higher than usual. Unfortunately, just like my first visit, they were not fully met. We had reservations for brunch, and our party of six was seated immediately on the beautiful second floor. Service was efficient throughout the meal, with our waiter taking our orders promptly and the food arriving quickly. To start, we ordered the Brussels and the hummus. The Brussels were cooked very well and had an excellent crispy texture, but I felt the kung pao vinaigrette lacked the bold flavor I was expecting. A little more sweetness and acidity would have helped brighten the dish and make it more memorable. The hummus, on the other hand, pleasantly surprised me. Both the red beet hummus and edamame hummus were flavorful and enjoyable. They paired well with the crisp flatbread and even served as a nice accompaniment to some of our less exciting entrées. For my meal, I ordered the marinated artichoke pizza, which unfortunately did not stand out. I had the same issue that I experienced during my previous visit: the crust was simply too thick and chewy. After a few slices, my jaw was genuinely getting tired from all the chewing. The pizza also could have benefited from more bacon and a more generous amount of sauce, as it came across a bit dry overall. The campanelle suffered from a similar problem. While I understand that simplicity was likely the goal, the dish was so understated that it ended up feeling bland. It tasted like a slightly elevated version of buttered pasta with just a hint of white wine. There was nothing particularly wrong with it, but it lacked the depth of flavor needed to make it memorable. On a much more positive note, the carrot cake pancakes were easily the star of the meal. I tend to gravitate toward savory breakfasts, but my sister was eager to try them, and I am so glad she did. These were not your typical pancakes. They were thick, fluffy, and incredibly soft in the center. With toppings like maple butter, maple cream, mascarpone whip, candied walnuts, and cardamom sugar, I expected the dish to be overwhelmingly sweet. Surprisingly, everything was balanced quite well. While I cannot imagine finishing an entire plate by myself, anyone with a sweet tooth would absolutely love them. Overall, this restaurant continues to impress me with its atmosphere, service, and a few standout dishes, but the entrées I have tried have not lived up to the hype. If I were to return, I would happily order the hummus and carrot cake pancakes again, but I would probably skip the pizza and pasta in favor of trying something new.

There's two homes converted into a restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating as well. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to sit under the shade outside. For drinks we ordered sangria and pineapple mimosas. The blueberry ginger pancakes seemed like a hit based on reviews so I ordered that as my entree. The portion size was huge so it was very filling. The ginger was not overwhelming at all and really complemented the sweetness of the blueberry toppings. I also ordered a the pork belly deviled eggs which were pretty yummy as well. My fiancé ordered the gumbo which was very savory and filled with the perfect combo of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The service was good as well. Our waiter checked on us several times throughout our meal. Very solid brunch spot in the heights!
