    Rockhouse was one of our visits as we descended here for heritage night! On this particular day of our visit, it was actually a event going on for Detroit! Needless to say that this restaurant was Pat to the brim. Some people we're only able to get standing room only admission. But I booked us a table, maybe a week prior so we can have a brunch there. We did have to purchase a wristband because of this event. When we were finally seated, Our server was Miss Ashley! Ashley singlehandedly saved this review from being bad! Ask all the drama at the door she helped immensely! She was very patient with us.She explained if she was not sure on something she went and got clarification. We got our meals and noted a problem with the order. And she jumped in, went to the kitchen and got us a fresh order to our liking. I've never been anywhere. Where it was absolutely packed with people. But I felt like I had my own personal wait, staff. She kept making sure that we were okay. Making sure we have water making sure we had. The foods are liking brought us drinks and even let us know about some specials that were going on. So we were able to partake in those, and I just appreciate her efforts and hospitality. And if you have the opportunity to have Ashley, then you will be well pleased! For the food we had the chicken and waffles, the chicken book was immaculent. It must have been like a buttermilk. Breading. Cuz, it was crispy crunchy, but still very moist and cook through-and-through period and we had the waffles with the pecan topping amazing 10 out of 10 on those waffles, and I believe my friend grabbed the burger. But I just personally speak in.Fell in love with that chicken. We did order like a Margarita tower, but they end up just bringing like the stacks bottles and because they ran out of the towers. So that was kind of disappointing, but other than that, the music from my generation, it was perfect. It's not a young person's spot. As my daughter say, it's for the old heads, but I enjoy myself. No drama popped off, and we had a time!

    Came on a Thursday for their Oxtail & Hookah special! Able to make reservations through open table up until a certain time before they turn into lounge and sections and bottle minimums are required. $15 hookah and $19 oxtail plates is a a steal in the economy okay! Plate comes with greens rice and cornbread. I would say, I could tell they made a big batch and just heated up the plates as they were ordered because my food didn't taste fresh and wasn't warmed properly. Greens were salty but the cornbread was delcious. They did have $5 frozens that night and we tried the Dusse based one ! Really good !

    RockHouse is a fun southern restaurant that offers delicious comfort food and beautiful cocktails. We came for the stuffed turkeys that tasted even better than they looked, the drinks didn't disappoint either. Our server was friendly and very attentive despite it being super busy when we arrived. Definitely plan to go back to see one of the many live music performances they offer and try even more of the menu.

    Edit: I had to come back and add that automatic 20% gratuity on a party of 4 is THEFT and Houston restaurants need to stop. -- We visited for brunch at 11 AM on a Saturday. It wasn't crowded which is great. They sat us at a high top table and we asked for a different table, but they said they were all reserved. Our reservation was a two hour time slot, and in that time most of the other tables were not used. They could've let us sit somewhere else, but I digress. The food was great with the exception of the catfish that tasted under seasoned and swampy. We thoroughly enjoyed the greens, oxtail, potatoes, and all of the breakfast items. The blackberry mimosa is delicious as well! They also had a very good DJ!

Thank you again for the nice southern hospitality, see you next year

    Group Party platter-  chicken wings, egg rolls & french fries with sparklers
    Carmen S.

    This place was formerly Diablo Loco when I visited a year ago. Parking: Restaurant parking lot is right in front of the building. It is $20 valet only, no self parking, & you pay it up front. Atmosphere: There is a dining side & a lounge side where the DJ and/or band is depending on the night. The place is pretty spacious for large crowds. Enough space where you can walk around & talk or dance with each other. I was there on a Friday night celebrating a friend's birthday. We had over 20 people in our group & the place easily accommodated us on the lounge side with their sectional lounge couches & high top long table. We did have reservations which would be needed for a large group to secure seating. Music: Band on this Friday night was quite good playing R&B and the DJ kept things going before the band started & during band breaks. There was never a gap with the music party vibe. Food: They birthday girl ordered large party platters that came with sparklers lit & stuck in the sliders to look festive. The sampler platter tray was nicely laid out with thin french fries on the bottom, chicken wings, pork sliders, & egg rolls. We also had the flatbread pizza and mac & cheese. As I look at the menu, several of our party platter items are not exactly the same as shown on the regular menu. So know if you have a group, you should talk to a manager to work on a platter menu. Their breaded chicken wings came as drumettes only (no flats) & they were huge. Looked like chicken drumsticks! They were well seasoned. Pork slides were dry, wouldn't get those again. I missed tasting the egg rolls but they looked good! The thin flatbread pizza had pepperoni & seasonings and was really tasty with a hint of spiciness. Fried catfish was cooked & seasoned perfectly, it was great. Drinks: Drinks were ok. They seemed watered down. Not sure if that is the norm or if it was because of the large group. I had a side car. My husband had an old fashion. Not sure what they put in it cause it was fizzy (maybe club soda??) but he didn't finish it & just ordered bourbon straight. Misc: The bathrooms are maintained with an attendant. Purses are checked prior to going in. They had a few other large groups celebrating and the staff brought out sparkler rockets and a birthday sign. For our group, they put small sparklers on our food platters . So if you have a celebration with a group make sure you ask about what special touches they can do for you. I really enjoyed the vibe, the music, the food. I would definitely go back. I'll give the drinks another try.

    I enjoyed my brunch at Rockhouse. I ordered the red velvet chicken & waffles. 9/10. Staff was friendly and efficient. Actual restaurant is nice, clean, great DJ. Will recommend and return.

    Food is great and the service is amazing. When making a reservation ask how long do you have the table when you check in. That way you know how long you can be there. Ambiance is fun. Dj was cool. Mock tails are even good. Live music on Sunday was so fun. But you can't sit without a reservation.

    We had an amazing time at ROCKHOUSE at a Cinco de 'Mayo celebration on our last night in Houston. Music was awesome and the appetizers were delicious. Awesome atmosphere and service!

The young lady at the front did her best to accommodate us by apologizing, giving us a free cobbler and juice for the little one. We ordered a few different things: fried whole wings, dirty rice, yams, cabbage, mango habanero wings, fries, red beans and rice and Kool-aide. The fried wings, rice, fries and cabbage were well seasoned- you could taste the butter in them. My son wasn't crazy about the red beans n rice or mango habanero wings. He said it was more beans than rice and the wings lacked flavor. The Kool -aide was super sweet (as expected), but I added water to make it more palatable. While waiting we talked to some other guests Who decided to wait. Later the cook came out and chatted a bit- he was nice. Overall, food is good just come with patience.

The vibe is great, the decor is awesome, the food delivers consistently, and service rarely takes a day off -- it's just a solid place to go when you're up for some great southern comfort classics. Cocktails, delicious. The daily food specials make it refreshing. The oysters never disappoint. We've rarely had to wait long on any ordered items and servers are all top notch. My only minor complaint is some of the larger groups visiting can sometimes forget there are others in the restaurant. We don't need to hear your entire conversation about the latest office gossip.

    *this review is only for crawfish, not their regular menu (which is amazing) *…read more We went here during crawfish season because they've been advertising their $8/lb crawfish, and we trusted that it would be great given the quality of their regular menu. We went on a Saturday for lunch. Hopefully this was just a one-off, but if you're looking for good Cajun boiled crawfish, this is not it. We started off with 6 lbs (group of 4) of their regular crawfish. First off, they put the Cajun seasoning on outside/shell (!!), which is a cardinal sin for Cajuns. They also minimally seasoned the boil, so the meat was lacking salt and flavor. We ordered 3 more lbs with the "wet sauce" (garlic butter), thinking the lack of flavor may be attributed to this being the first-ish batch of the day. Nope, the second batch was even less seasoned than the first. The sauce was good, but it didn't make up for the unseasoned meat. The crawfish were a good size, at least... Come on guys, I expect more from a Gulf Coast seafood restaurant!

The buttermilk waffles weren't overly crisp but still had nice warm flavor (8.7/10), turkey links were satisfactory (8.1/10), and the mac & cheese was above average as well, not out of this world but pretty good nonetheless (8.0/10).
