Old fashioned ish drink
Ashley W.

Came here for happy hour and it has a lot of potential. The happy hour drinks were all $10 for the specialty cocktails. Different assortments for everyone. The egg rolls were good but I could have used a different sauce maybe... the wings were great. The regular fried chicken was nice and crisp... at first I didn't like the Brussel sprouts but the sauce is at the bottom and that was a came changer. Mac and cheese was ok. But the corn bread waffle thing was the best part. I advise sitting at the bar as the service at the tables around us seemed kind of slow. They play really good music and for the most part everyone was pretty friendly.

Crispy Cauliflower Bites

Good vibe, good ambiance, good food! Anytime I've ever gone in here it has always been a good time. They serve a nice Southern comfort menu with modern spins. The name Quotes is on display by the way they have video displays all throughout of quotes by people in the culture. One thing I can definitely say I've never gone here and had bad service. That seems small but it isn't. My most recent visit I went as part of a galentine's party (palentines for me lol) and our main waitress was amazing. She was attentive enough to notice that I was particular about certain things and recommended against one of the items I planned to get. She didn't think it was bad but just that it would not be to my preference. I appreciate that level of honesty and consideration. When you talk Southern comfort you almost can't do that without talking about fried foods and they do that pretty well here. The one asterisk I will say is that one time I went here and the wings were not up to standard flavor wise but every other time they have been on it. I went with the the quotes fish and shrimp platter on my most recent visit, which comes with two sides and a honey butter cornbread waffle. I got the smoked gouda mac & cheese and candied yams for my sides. Everything was really good. The only thing is I feel like the fish could have been seasoned a little bit stronger but great meal overall. Be bayou City pasta was what I initially planned to get but it's the item that she recommended against based on my tastes. I did try some of a friend's pasta with the oxtail option and it was pretty good but I'm not mad that I missed on it. I'm typically a gin drinker but they didn't have a chin cocktail I wanted so I went with the strawberry lone Star lemonade. It was a bit sweet but I also prefer my cocktails on the sweeter side so it was cool. Good drink overall. I had the French Rosé in the past which is a spin on the French 75 with a rose champagne and it was solid. I tried some of my friends dishes as well. I want to say the spinach dip is damn good to me! Like "oh damn I wasn't expecting this" good. And I like the cauliflower garlic bread it's served with. It's really soft so not a dipper but very delicious! The crispy sweet and spicy shrimp are also good but I will say a little bit on the sweeter side. The crispy cauliflower bites are very, very good. Of course prefer chicken wings but as an alternative they slap. The wings and waffles was one of the first things I tried here and I really enjoyed both the wings and the waffles so win-win for me. I'm usually good with just plain waffles but I really liked how they paired with the peach cobbler for waffle options. The waffles are a few small waffles instead of one large waffle but they're still really good and it's kind of a cute look, just not as filling lol. As I said before the wings do exactly what they need to do being crispy and delicious, and only once did they let me down. I've always had the wings served as whole wings but the recent visit a friend was serve separate flats and drums so I'm not sure if they changed to doing pieces on the wings. I have a friend who swears by the lamb chops and I believe I had a taste of them but it was a while back so I don't remember well enough to give my thoughts on them but she loves them. If I'm being honest as I look over the menu writing this review I honestly feel like I need to eat here a lot more often than I do now because when they are hitting they are HITTING! Can't wait for my next excuse to dive into something going in the menu.

Lemon drop

I absolutely love quotes! I enjoy sitting on the patio smoking hookah while having a cocktail waiting for my oxtail quesadillas to come out. I there are not enough words to explain how delicious they are!!! I've never had a bad meal here. I have had just about everything on the menu and it's all good from the pasta, to the fish and grits, the shrimp and grits, the fried chicken and you have to get one of those amazing pieces of honey cornbread. They do have during the week happy hour. Be advised that hookah is $40 every day of the week. I rarely go early in the week and was surprised to find that Monday's price is the same as the weekend price. Service can be hit or miss especially when you sit on the patio however seems like that come to be expected at establishments that charge automatic gratuity. They also have an upstairs balcony. Perfect for a date night

Wings
Sherry J.

We had a reservation for 10. Got seated and sat for over 10 minutes without a greeting or water. We had to get up from the table to go and find someone. The manager ended up coming to the table and said he needed to find out who has the table. Why sit a group in a section that isn't assigned to someone. We ordered a couple of appetizers that came out lukewarm warm. Luckily our main meals were hot. The food being good is what gave them another star.

First time here, and every single dish we ordered was amazing! Loved the appetizer the oxtailadilla, highly recommend! I ordered the blacked catfish and my partner ordered the soul food platter with Mac n cheese and yams. Soooo bomb! And I loved the cornbread waffle that came with it! We were not disappointed at all and will most certainly be back! Our waitress was friendly and attentive and I loved the overall vibe from the inspirational quotes on the wall to the photo pop back drop if you wish to use. Ambient lighting, good music and energy. I also love that it is black owned. Overall excellent experience for our first time and I highly recommend you come and enjoy this spot!

Short Summary: This experience was a miss for me. -1 remove from 45 minute waiting list, without notice, when sitting at the bar, holding seats. -1. Mojito Virgin smoky strawberry lemon drop. Taste like carbonated water (from spirit soda). Zero flavor, of the two flavors. No mint at all. -1 replace drink with strawberry lemonade or raspberry lemonade and the lemonade is MINUTE MAID brand. Very tart, and zero flavor of the strawberry/raspberry. -1 mango sweet tea. Flavor was off taste like tannins was release from steeping to long and lack of flavor. -1 water taste funny. No lemons came with it as requested. -2 my server informed me that they will not remove my non alcoholic drinks that were very bad taste. Seafood tacos: Flavor 4/5 Texture: 5/5 Temp 3.8/5. First taco lukewarm, other two tacos is cool and cold. I like how the topping was placed on the side beautifully. Crawfish étouffée. 1/5. Flavor is very off, texture was good. Did not eat it. Not tomato taste at all. Idk what flavor that was. Brussels sprouts: Flavor 5/5 Texture 5/5 presentation 5/5 Temperature 2/5 Salmon, crawfish& mash potatoes: 3/5- salt and low temp. Catfish and grits: 4/5 Alcoholic beverages: 8/5 The ladies loved them had ordered multiple of different drinks. Full details: We visit here for a girls brunch on Sunday. It was very full. Waiting list was 45 for a table of three. I arrived before my friends so I got on the waiting list and sat at the bar since it was first come first served. ( since chairs open, I place reserved in the seats just in case they arrived before our waiting time was complete). Full details: waiting list -1 To my surprise I received a notification on my phone saying I was off the waiting list, as groups continued to enter. I immediately spoke to host (I think Jordan) to place me back on the list, And I'll prefer a table with a seat with back rest verses sitting on bar backless stools. He told me he thought we were going to be at the bar since I was a sitting there saving seats. He was very friendly and kind about his message, it was just lack of communication that was a no no. He didn't bother to ask if I still prefer a table. My table was ready now, (less than 45 minutes), which is why he removed me from the waiting list without notice. -2 Drinks Even the ladies at the table tasted it. Taste as if I would have drank that entire glass I would've been sick (sincerely). The GM told me that I was going to be responsible for the drinks I did NOT drink that was Horrid and was removed from the table. Which were $5. (Didn't see a price or inform prior to this point), so to be fair I told them they can replace it with at spirit drink. They return to say they will take it off this time. But you can't order something to try and remove it if you dislike it. This is the moment where my mind was made up to not return to Quotes, until they remove this policy. I will never feel comfortable ordering something that was prepared HORRIBLE and be financially responsible for something I did not consume. I don't even feel comfortable returning and having them feel or speak as if they doing me a favor when the ball was dropped from the company. The birthday dessert was bread pudding since the chocolate cake was complete out. It was packaged for take out. It wasn't that good to my liking. But I'm not a bread pudding girl either. I wouldn't get this again even if it's comp. (Not to mentioned the flies and gnats) If I was to return: I'll might try for Happy hour and the chocolate dessert.

I've always seen this place on the side of Willowbrook mall and never made time to try it out, but I finally got around to it and I wasn't disappointed. My coworkers and I came here for lunch and we all loved it. The food was delicious, the decor was super cute, and the service was on point. I will for sure be visiting again and trying something new on the menu.

Creole Catfish
Sharon O.

Was in the area for a movie premier & decided to try Quotes as I have seen them on IG many times. Arrived about 9pm on a Sunday night and everything was really good. Plenty of parking. Hostess greated us with a smile. The ambience is really nice, not too bright not too dark. Playlist was great, R&B! Nice Bar, tables, booths and cocktails tables. Our waitress Cheyenne was really nice and patient. I ordered the Creole Catfish & my friend ordered Honey Garlic wings. Both were great. Catfish and wings were fried really well. Honey garlic sauce was so good. Dirty rice and creole sauce was just ok. Really enjoyed our visit. I would definitely return to try more dishes and and a drink as the drink menu was extensive.

Fish and grits
Shania C.

I gave 4 stars because customer service was great .. food wise 3 stars . I had the catfish and grits ( yummy ) very creamy , crawfish was good but my catfish was a little soft not fried hard but it was still yummy . The pork chop platter was great ( my friend got that ) . She said she really enjoyed it The are for me was my spinach dip . Was a bit pricey for the amount you get a small cup with a bunch chips . It is also more cheese than spinach . The ambiance was nice .. older crowd and I love that cause the 20-25 can get rowdy . Overall I will be coming back to try the soul food tacos . Bartender was great gentleman.

Trevor L.

Came here for the first time later at night. My waitress was great, provided wonderful insight on the menu and was easy to converse with. I ordered the fried catfish and dirty rice. I was certainly surprised as this was my second attempt in general trying fried catfish--first time else where weren't the best. The catfish was cooked to perfection and so was rice. The cheese sauce brought it all together so I pleasantly enjoyed. My friend ordered the fried pork chops with white rice, bake mac n cheese and candied yams. The rice was a little firmer than expected and the mac n cheese lacked rich flavor but was decent to have as a side dish. The candied yams were great and pork chops and gravy were also enjoyable. Overall, solid choice.

Lunch menu

Everything tasted well and it was well seasoned . The sweet tea was flavorful. The waitress was nice. Service was good. I went on a Friday when they first opened. The music was good and the atmosphere looked nice. I will definitely be back to try other items. For the record they do not take cash as payment.

I came across Quotes through an Instagram post and finally had a chance to take my mother in law for lunch. We went at opening so there wasn't a wait and plenty of seating. I like the open concept and natural light which makes the space feel inviting. The food was pretty good. I had the boudin egg rolls for my appetizer and it came with 6 halves. They were tasty but could've used a little more filling versus cheese. Fried chicken was okay, not bad, not outstanding. Next time I'll probably go with the catfish as my server recommended. The Brussel sprouts had a really good sweet and savory flavor and the yams did not disappoint. My favorite part of the meal was the sweet cornbread waffle, a unique touch. Drinks were amazing!!! I went with the Southern Belle because D'Ussé and frozen are my two favorite drink ingredients.

Thankfully, Mark was there and initially was told a 35 minute wait but seemed intent by quicker. Ambiance: 4/5 It was breakfast time so of course it was a busy time. For my visit, it was crowded but not to where you couldn't hear your table. Dress is casual, good for friends, solo, or pit stop. Service: 5/5 Our waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. Since it was our first visit there, she gave us some background that it was a Pappa's owned restaurant and food is made from scratch. Food: 3/5 They offer mimosas and I was tempted to order, but was driving and it was 9AM so forewent that option. There are food options for every tastebud. Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restauant. which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register.

I was catching up with my sister, we were there about 5 hours and the restaurant was empty. A mature-aged Asian woman came in, spotted the restroom door, and proceeded to it. The manager/owner (older man with balding hair) RAPIDLY went from the other side of the restaurant to intercept the woman right at the restroom entrance. He asked her what she needed, she told him to use the restroom, he then asked if she needed a table. When she replied "no", he stated that restrooms are for paying customers only. She was embarrassed, froze, said "Okay", and walked towards the exit. The guy saw my sister and I watching this unfold with screwfaces, so he tells the woman at the exit "Well go ahead and use it, you're already in here, I guess". While she was in the restroom he made a sign about their restroom stance and was taping it to the front door as the woman was exiting the building. We left immediately also. A business has the right to have such a ridiculous regulation, but this woman was dressed clean and came from a Lexus SUV. She wasn't homeless or some street prostitute that might be reckless in a public restroom. The idiot guy was petty, rude, inconsiderate, cold, and careless. I refuse to spend money at an establishment run by such a person.

We shared a bowl of the potato soup where we had no expectations and I thought it tasted pretty decent. But the real test was the entrees. Mr. Picky ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp while I opted for Veal Parmigiana, and we each stole a bite from the other's plate. We reached consensus immediately that both dishes were well-seasoned and quite delicious, meaning we would return for more good food in the future. Seriously, we hadn't expected much when walking in and looking around, but were pleasantly surprised at the kitchen's efforts. We finished lunch with an order of homemade bread pudding and tiramisu, the latter of which in 2012 won a chamber of commerce epicurean competition 1st place ribbon. I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
