Oxtail Smash Burger
Makayle H.

The cutest coffee shop located next to the most vibrant and eccentric black owned library, Kindred Stories! I met up with some coworkers to do some work and there was ample space to meet. They even have a room in the back if you need something quieter plus tables and chairs outside if you want to soak up some vitamin D while working! Omg, that oxtail burger!?! I was skeptical at first, but when I say 10 out of 10!!! It was so good that I recommended it to my coworker, who's a picky eater. After a little convincing, she ordered it and was amazed at how good it was! AND THOSE FRIES!? Idk what kind of seasoning they put on them but whew, they were so good! To quench my thirst, I ordered the cucumber mint limeade with a splash of lavender-chef's kiss!!! I will definitely be coming back and bringing others along!

This was my second timing dining at Rado; I came back bc I love the history and the mission and vision behind LRG. And because I enjoyed my first experience. Today I had the Standard, upgraded with french toast and again, I'm pleased. The food takes time, so prepare yourself. Browse the shop, pop over next door to Kindred or to have a sit in their outdoor dining space and relax. Meal was satisfactory- you do have to do the French toast- so good it didn't need syrup. My eggs were salty; but it didn't stop me from eating them. Def support this establishment next time you're in third ward. Two word review: solid brunch.

Why 5 stars? Because my burger was absolutely delicious. --- --- --- I had my Dad meet me here for a pre-game dinner before we went to an Astros game and ended up really happy with this choice. I took one look at the menu and knew I wanted the Oxtail burger, so that was an easy decision. I also wanted mac-n-cheese, but they were out of that, so I ordered the fries instead. While I was bummed to miss out on the mac, the fries were awesome, so no regrets there. If you are a person who is a little weary of the "oxtail" part, I can assure you that you would never know the difference between a regular burger and this. I definitely couldn't tell anything out of the ordinary, other than the fact that it was extra tasty/juicy. My only gripe is that it was on the smaller side and I was in a face-stuffing mood. But you know what? It's probably better than Rado saved me from myself and my appetite of 7 men. Bonus points for a nice, large parking lot. We didn't know what to expect for parking because Google Street view wasn't updated, but parking here should never be an issue.

I've seen Rado Market pop up on some "best burger" lists in Houston, so with the day off for the 4th, I figured it was the perfect time to check it out--especially since it's just down the street. I love supporting places rooted in the community, and Rado, located right across from Emancipation Park, fully embraces that mission. The space is beautiful--bright, clean, and welcoming. You can tell a lot of care went into designing a place that feels good to be in, not just another restaurant. There's a small grocery section with locally made products, a café counter, books, wine... it really feels like a love letter to Third Ward. I came for the burger, and it did not disappoint. A burger from the team behind Lucille's? You already know it's going to be good. The oxtail smash burger might be one of the best I've had in Houston. The patty was rich and flavorful (you can actually taste the oxtail), and the tomato jam and garlic aioli gave it a perfect sweet-savory balance. The brioche bun was soft but sturdy--every element felt intentional. It's clearly a chef-driven burger. They were closing early at 2 for the holiday, so I grabbed my food to go and headed across the street to Emancipation Park. I found a table by the pool, where families were out enjoying the day--kids splashing in the water, everyone trying to beat the heat. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a great burger. Rado Market isn't just a spot for good food (though it absolutely delivers on that front). It's part of something bigger--celebrating history, investing in the neighborhood, and feeding the community in every sense of the word. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu... and maybe grab a bottle of wine or some local goodies while I'm at it.

Great brunch/lunch spot. I frequent the bookstore in the same shopping center and have been curious to try out Rado but am always short on time unfortunately. I went for an event and had the opportunity to grab a bit to eat after. The menu has some great offering but I was really in the mood for some fries and a burger. The fries and burger are fresh to order so the wait time is a bit longer but I'm willing to wait on good food. This is the type of place you order at the counter and get a number. It's a busy local spot but did not have any issues finding a seat. There is an outdoor patio area that has good shady spots and I really enjoyed eating outdoors! The staff was friendly and it was overall a nice solo brunch experience. As for the food I love the fries but was not impressed with the burger I'll definitely have to try some more items on the menu.

Hands down, best burger in Houston. I love it here. I love the collards in the salad. I love the smoky oxtail burger so much. I usually take friends and out of towners here to teach them the history of the Eldorado Ballroom, which is my absolute favorite place in Houston, TX and explain the history of it and Emancipation park. The food is just a great show stopper to top it all off. You can't go wrong with this restaurant group. They own Lucille's as well Late August, but this place and this burger- must try baby.

I came here for a Yelp event initially and returned because Kindred Stories moved next door in the El Dorado Ballroom. I had their Toast Crunch latte and it was SO DELICIOUS. The barista was super kind and came to find me and hand me the coffee once it was done. The place feels very historial and kinda has a diner aesthetic. It's attached to the el dorado ballroom and it's super spacious. There's plenty of seating and space; lots of decor and photos and I really appreciate that Kindred Stories highlighted some of their books in the market itself. I really love this place and I'll be back soon. 10/10 recommend for the food and the coffees.

LATTE and OXTAIL & EGG TACOS

I needed a quick coffee and breakfast tacos while in Houston for a quick trip. The coffee was good, and the breakfast tacos are big, two come with the order so they are shareable. One will fill you up.

Oxtail Smash Burger with Potato Salad.

Recently, after visiting Kindred Bookstore, I decided to finally check out The Rado Market -- both housed in the historic Eldorado Ballroom. There are numerous restaurants I enjoy in Third Ward, but The Rado Market is unique and has a diner/café feel. The lady who helped at the counter was very friendly and professional, even making solid suggestions. We ordered around 30 minutes within closing time, but were still accommodated. That's cool! I tried the Oxtail Smash Burger with a side of potato salad. The burger was great. Having asked someone beforehand if it had more of a Jamaican jerk essence, I was advised it did not have this flavor but was still good. I thought the flavor of the burger was great, and it might have had arugula on it, if I remember correctly. Wasn't a fan of the potato salad but did get to try some fries and those were awesome (the tiny bit of catfish po boy I tried was excellent). I thought the lemonade was really good. Several different parties dined in the restaurant, but since it was near closing time, we dined outside. Great experience overall. 5/5

I love this place! We had a late lunch on Saturday. A few lively patrons were there. Our food was delivered quickly. And most importantly the food was delicious! We split the grain bowl with chicken and the fried green tomato sandwich. They were both amazing. I forgot how much space is in the back and the patio area. It is a great place to study or work as well. I love that they have books from the next-door bookstore. Highly recommend!

I had the T'B.A.E sandwich & a side of grits. The sandwich isn't nasty -- it has lots of potential but I ordered via door dash which may have affected the quality of my experience. The sandwich is dry and a tad bit salty. There were no condiments included nor offered as an add on option which would've taken the sandwich to a 10 easily. I see the potential, but these minor changes could make it better. I'd eat here again but in person this time, for the full experience.

Outside of being a bit too salty on the sandwich and a slight pool of oil at the bottom of the mac & cheese everything was quite tasty and filling. Spicy Turkey sandwich is what I ordered. Love the toast in the bread and some chips added to the inside for a little extra crunch. The sandwich came with 2 sides which I ended up splitting into 2 meals. The fries were perfectly flavored and crispy on the outside soft on the inside, just how I like them. Great addition to this neighborhood. Tone back on the salt, as I have seen in other reviews as well, and this could be a 5 star review for me. Customer service was excellent.

The Standard Biscuits & Gravy
Sandra K.

You already know what I'm starting with. Parking. No problems here. Huge spacious lots with many options and ample sized parking spaces. We love the Rado Market and have been coming here since after the Yelp event a few months ago. Food is on par and reasonably priced with great flavor. The market is super cute with a lot of choices too. We especially loved the outdoor area and the upper deck patio. It was a bit warm even at 9am so we opted to sit in the downstairs patio. Staff was really nice and they were nice to my child, something you don't get a lot of here in the United States. We ate our food completely up. Wish they had offered some butter for the grits but overall a tasty meal. We both got chicken sausage and you could tell this sausage was house made. Can't wait to go back and try other items and the drinks.

I asked how did we grab our stuff if I still have the device to notify when our food is ready. - Third she completely stopped talking to us and went to go help at other customers. I told her we want our money back and she said, "well I'm not going to refund for the drinks you had". Ma'am, that's not how you run a business. Just admit you messed up and take ownership of your mistakes to help a customer out. - Fourth she mentioned that other tickets have been lost today and other foods have been stolen before. This just shows how disorganized this placed is. We were able to ask for our money back but it was a battle about it. I was disappointed because we wanted to support your business but at this service? Heck no! Do not come here. And from reading other reviews now we did not miss on the food.

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.

This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

Off the Restaurant Weeks menu we ordered the Loaded Hash Browns in the Style of Potato Skins and the Trio Deviled Egg Trio for starters. The loaded hash browns were crispy, golden, and covered with a healthy amount of toppings especially the cheesy queso. The deviled eggs were just okay for me. They weren't your typical deviled eggs the filling was more of a mustard forward potato salad mixture. The three toppings on deviled eggs were very distinct from one another and each had its own flavor. For the main dishes we ordered the Peach Cobbler French Toast and the Breakfast Sandwich. The French toast was a little underwhelming. It wasn't made with the traditional thick cut bread and was more on the thinner side. It was loaded with toppings, but honestly the toppings overpowered the bread itself. Now the BREAKFAST SANDWICH was AMAZING!! I honestly wished I had ordered another one. I'm usually not a fan of English muffins, but the way this sandwich was made and assembled was PERFECT. From the toasted English muffin to the sausage patty, crispy hash brown, fried egg, tomato, and cheese!!!Every bite was so good! If they bring this sandwich back to the menu it is a MUST TRY! From the regular menu we also tried the Fried Chicken Crunch Wrap Supreme. It was okay. The chicken was hot and fresh, and even the dipping sauce was good. However, the Doritos were soggy, and for me, there was way too much cabbage in the inside. Overall, it was just okay. The Treasure Chest Frozen Flight is an absolute must. Not only are the drinks delicious, but they come with a cute little sparkler, which makes the whole experience a little celebration. The Saturn was my favorite. And of course, living in Houston, we all know Sunday = Sunday Funday! So yes, it was packed inside. They did have plenty of seating outside. Winnie's is seat yourself and order at the bar, and there was plenty of room to either share tables or stand around and wait for a party to finish so you could grab a seat. Overall, if you haven't been to Winnie's yet, you should definitely check it out! The breakfast sandwich alone is worth the visit if it makes its way back onto the menu.

Parking can be confusing if you aren't familiar with downtown because it's off Main St. There is a connected parking garage which you have to pay for; I think it was around $10, not sure if it can be validated because I didn't ask. When we came, it was super lively; they had a DJ playing and it was definitely vibey and a great place to start your Sunday Funday. The setup is: you pay, they give you a number, and bring your food to the table. The seating is open and they have a large patio area as well. We were there for HRW brunch which was 25 for 2 courses, but the menu had me excited as a seafood lover. I saw oysters and so many other foods I love to come back and try. I got the Trio of Deviled Eggs and my friend went with hash brown potato skins. For our main we had the NOLA BBQ Shrimp and Grits. She also got the Treasure Chest Frozen Flight, which comes with all four of the frozens they offer in a Treasure Chest with Sparklers which was perfect for her bday. Everyone was friendly; it was busy, but despite that a really good experience and I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
