I'm currently visiting my daughter and new son‑in‑law in Houston, and we had dinner at Quotes on February 20th. The place was very busy--lively, loud, and full of energy. I loved seeing so many people of color enjoying themselves and chopping it up. The food and drink menus had plenty of variety, and overall we had a great time. If I had to point out a couple of downsides, the noise level made it tough to hold a conversation, and the wait for our food was pretty long. It seemed like the kitchen was doing their best, but being a Friday night, they were either short‑staffed or just slammed. Even with those hiccups, I'd definitely visit Quotes again.

We had a great experience at Quotes. The food, drinks and service were amazing! Our sweet waitress Cheyenne was the best! All of the staff were so friendly. This will be my new favorite go to place to eat and relax!

Beautiful backdrop inside and on the patio!

The mimosas are always nice! The chicken and waffle sliders were more than generous in size for brunch! I ate that for leftovers the next morning too! I hate that I didn't get a picture of my entree, but those grits were creamy too!

Old fashioned ish drink

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.

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.

Lemon drop
Stephanie H.

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

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.

Disappointed with the Music Selection at a Country Venue:…read more I want to start by acknowledging Mike from Business Customer Service for his response--it was appreciated, though not quite what I was hoping for. My girls and I enjoy a wide range of music and frequently visit hip hop, salsa, and country clubs. However, on this particular night, we intentionally chose a country club/saloon because we were in the mood to listen and dance to country music--not hip hop. If we had been looking for hip hop, there are plenty of other venues that cater to that. What was disappointing was that the music did not align with the country theme that the club advertises. From my experience and from reading other reviews, I'm clearly not the only customer who feels this way. I've visited country clubs in both California and Austin, and they stay true to their brand by playing country music exclusively. If diversification is the goal, it might be worth reconsidering how the venue is marketed because branding as a country club sets a specific expectation. A few weeks ago, a group of us visited from Austin on a Saturday and left disappointed for the same reason. We're giving it another try this Friday, hopeful that the experience will better reflect the country vibe we're looking for. If it does, I'll be more than happy to update this review with a well-deserved 5 stars.

YEEHAW! BULL RIDING, LINE DANCING, AND MORE!!! 03/03/24…read more I recently celebrated my friend's birthday here at this establishment. It was my first time visiting a country club and I must say I had the most fabulous time ever! There was country music and line dancing galore! The overall ambiance and vibe of the club was raging with excitement and pure energy. It's absolutely enormous inside and there's more than one bar available at this establishment. With all the many dancers crowding the dance floor, it's a good thing this place is humongous. However, the ironic thing about all that space is that there's extremely limited seating availability provided; that is if you have not reserved a table for a birthday party. It seemed like every table was reserved for a party because my daughter and I walked every inch of that club and could not find an available table to sit at because they were all reserved for a party. However, there were plenty of seats around the dance floor, but they were taken as well. So, my advice would be to reserve a table in advance even if you are not celebrating a birthday party. This will at least ensure that you have somewhere to sit and rest your feet after leaving the dance floor. My friend, the birthday girl, did not reserve a table for her party thinking that there would be abandoned tables in the building. Big huge mistake. Furthermore, we ordered drinks all night because the prices were inexpensive. Be prepared to leave tips for the bartender if they truly deserve the tip. As I mentioned previously, there is more than one bar in this establishment. At the bar located to the immediate right as you first enter the entrance doors, there was a blonde haired female bartender and a Latino male bartender working that particular area. Both of them were unfriendly and unwelcoming. I could literally feel the ice-cold energy flowing through their veins. My daughter and I were asking them if they had any good suggestions for us since we really didn't know what we wanted to drink. We tried placing our order with the male bartender first who would not speak up for us to understand him. We asked him what drinks were on the menu for the night and he kept repeating something that we could not understand and he kept a monotone vibe as if he didn't care for us ordering at his bar. As a result, my daughter and I turned to the female bartender in hopes that she would be a little friendlier. She wasn't any better. She acted as if she did not know what to suggest from their own drink menu. She asked us what we wanted to drink and I responded to her, "Ma'am we are asking you and the gentleman for any suggestions because we are indecisive at the moment." She kept acting like a "dumb blonde" as if she did not know what to suggest so we just asked for a lemon drop which was okay. It wasn't strong at all and watery. I left her a tip and moved along. I was not pleased at all with the way they treated us. As a result of the lackadaisical bartenders at the first bar, my daughter and I decided to move to the back of the building and visit the other bar. This bartender was on and popping! He was very entertaining, friendly, and welcoming. He also had a mini chalkboard on display that listed the featured drinks of the night. Now this is what I was asking the other two unfriendly and unwelcoming bartenders about their featured drinks on the menu because they did not have a menu on display, or even offer a menu, or even suggest that we scan a QR code to see the drinks menu. Keep in mind this was my first time and my daughter's first time visiting this place so we were kind of lost. However, the other bartender is located directly in the back. When you first enter the doors you can see him working hard mixing and shaking drinks and serving the crowd like a professional mixologist. He was down-to-earth friendly and relatable. I spent all my dollars and tip money at his bar for the rest of the night and I purchased plenty of drinks all night. If I ever return to this establishment I will never patronize the other two bartenders. They need to stay at home because they do not know how to entertain their guests properly. Overall, Whiskey River is an exciting and fun place to be on a Friday or Saturday night if you want to dance or even ride the bull. Bull riding was fun but impossible to stay on during the whole ride. You will get thrown off no matter what. From the looks of the bull, it seems as if it's designed for you not to be able to stay on. Everyone gets thrown off no matter how hard you try to stay on, but it was so much fun! The dance floor is a nice size but can get overcrowded. The food is absolutely delicious, especially the beef quesadillas. Be prepared to show your ID before entering the building. There's a bouncer at the door asking the guests to show identification before being admitted. Would have given 5 stars if it hadn't been for the two rude bartenders' sore attitudes.

She took our drink order and when she brought it out she had can drinks on the tray. That was the first issue. A restaurant with these prices should not bringing out cans. Come on owners and managers - do better The food was average- not much flavor on any of it of all 3 dishes we ordered. The fish was greasy, the chicken fried steak was greasy, the burger was the only thing finished. Too much money for what we were presented. I do reviews all over and I really wanted this to be a good one. The reason I am giving it 3 stars was the burger and for Abby's service. There were a couple families with kids but mainly adults. It is a smaller dining area and reservations are recommended To tour the cars it is $15 a person, so we did what most of the people in the restaurant did, took pictures from the window. I wish I could say we would come back but unless it changes and we see better reviews I don't know if we would. Good Luck to ya !!! Great concept idea for car enthusiasts
