I was extremely impressed. This is not fancy. This is just great food.

Suffice to say, I read almost all the reviews on here prior to sharing this experience (still…read morelooking for this restaurant on google, which is where I typically write all my reviews - good/bad). Let me start by saying that Jamie the server is exceptional at what he does and is 95% of the time doing it by himself. That being said, he gets my grace and he always aims to please his customers in my opinion, even if it takes him some time to accomplish it, and that I believe customers value generally. The food here was always good in my opinion, especially for where we were. When he is not around, I guess you could say "all hell breaks lose". There is a female that works here on the weekends and she is horrible, if that is any way to describe the most horrific restaurant experience one could have. While it is clear that most of these reviews are a few years back, mine is quite recent (March 2026). I give people the benefit of the doubt and it was my 2nd experience with her that did it. As I always say, when people show you who they are, believe them. She sucks and she does not belong in "any" environment that has customer service as their goal because she knows not what that is. When I walked up to the bar to place my order, 2 other females that I am familiar with were sitting there apparently waiting on her to serve them as well. She acknowledged me with an attitude after I nudged her (because I was standing there a while and was being ignored). And yes, she was very present on the cash register doing I don't know what, that could have been more important than serving waiting customers. Once enough time had passed, I exchanged words with the other ladies waiting, only to find out that they too had been sitting for a significant period of time waiting on her. Once I made it clear that there was no reason for me to wait 40 mins for a glass of wine while the server was present (because this particular evening, that's all I wanted), I walked away, and they did shortly after as well. A few minutes later, in reiterating my experience to another party, I was told that 4 other persons walked away from the restaurant a few hours earlier because of her. So in total, that day (it was a Saturday), this restaurant lost the business of at least 7 people (that we know of) because of 1 bad employee. As a business owner, that smells like defeat. I hope the owner sees this and gets rid of her. I am not one quick to see people lose their jobs for any reason, actually I am quick to beg an employer to let the employee keep their job, but not this time around. She belongs behind a closed door where she has zero contact with the outside world. Despicable. The reason I'm just now writing this if you're wondering, is because I just left a very popular busy restaurant and the service, ambiance and food were all top notch. So I came on here to write a god review for them, then I remembered this bad experience.

I had a very frustrating experience at this restaurant We…read moreordered the ceviche. When the ceviche arrived, it was literally just shrimp sitting in plain water with no vegetables or seasoning. it was inedible so we decided to order something else . Our server just asked why and it was taken away I ordered 2 enchiladas de mole con camarón and clearly told the server "2" multiple times, even holding up two fingers. After waiting 30-40 minutes, the food arrived cold and she brought 3 enchiladas instead of 2. When the check came, I was charged for the untouched ceviche, the extra enchilada I never ordered. When I questioned the charges, she said she couldn't remove the ceviche because "the system wouldn't let her." and she said she heard 3 instead of 2 with a background in the food industry and knowing how it works i understand how incorrect orders can actually be fixed we still decided not to argue and pay it full but due to everything we left no tip. My bill was $71.32. the next day, I got a notification from my bank that a $50 tip had been added to my card without my authorization, bringing my total to $122.32. I called the restaurant, and they told me they could only refund me in cash. Since I live an hour away, I drove back to request a full refund. After waiting 15-20 minutes to speak with a manager, I was told the manager wasn't even there and would not be coming. They refused to give me a full refund and only refunded the ceviche, the enchiladas, and the unauthorized $50 tip, totaling $91. due to the poor food, poor service, stolen tip, and the way management handled the situation, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had.

Jam Session is sold out every other time I'm here, which is understandable as it's the most delicious beer I've ever had (sweet though so heads up if you're not into that, although you're missing out). Today, I had the Butter Beer. Yes, Butter Beer. It tastes like beer with butterscotch, and it's exactly what I imagine the stuff at Hogwarts tastes like. Dalton recommended it with salt, and I gave him a look but tried it both ways - turns out he was correct. Do try it with salt. Speaking of salt, don't sleep on the food either. Their mac and cheese is delicious, and I haven't tried other stuff but the chicken looks crispy and yum, too. The open air design makes it hot at first, but after the sun down and the moonrise, the breeze comes through - and that's what a balmy summer night's about, right? Chill company and a cold beer in friendly neighborhood vibes? Two free parking lots plus street parking.

So, there is a parking lot right off the service road of the highway. Then you walk down the road a little ways to a chain length fenced in area that has weeds and grass knee high. My 1st thought was "what in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre trailer park trash shit is this place?". I like adventures so I went in anyway and I am glad I did! City Acre had about 15 different beers on tap and I got my usual flight. I got a west coast IPA. a strawberry chocolate sour, a Belgian, and a porter. Flannel weather was the porter, and it tasted like a thin mint Girl Scout Cookie. Delicious. Everything was great. The strawberry chocolate sour was a tasty treat and I usually hate sours. The beertender was super friendly and she gave great suggestions. They have a kitchen onsite that looked good, but I had already eaten. Maybe next time. My bad on prejudging but cut the damn grass

You can tell right away it's authentic--everything from the curry chicken to the oxtail and roti is packed with flavor. It's not watered down for the masses, it tastes like somebody in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing. They've got that Trinidad influence too, which I appreciate. You don't see that everywhere. Stuff like doubles and buss up shut on the menu is a big deal if you know what you're looking at. Portions are solid, food comes out fresh, and overall it just hits. It's one of those spots where you keep thinking about the food after you leave. If you want real Caribbean flavor in Houston, this is one of the places you need to try.

Hippo Burgers was a a pleasant surprise to find! Knowing that I would be in the area for training,…read moreI decided to look for a lunch option the day before. Hippo Burgers popped up on my Yelp search and was not too far away, so I bookmarked it. Could have went to the Popeyes near by, but I really had a taste for a burger. Reviews were solid, so I figured why not?! Drive was bumpy to HB, but that is typical for the Aldine area, so drive carefully! Parking lot was plentiful even during lunchtime, but I did arrive just before 11:30 so I may have missed the lunch break traffic. Still about half of the restaurant was filled up. The menu is straightforward and outlines the ingredients on the burger. Desiring a burger with bacon, I ordered the BLT Burger- without mayo added mustard. You will find that the burgers are not too overly inclusive with a bunch of toppings but include one ingredient that makes it unique enough to make a statement (i.e. bacon, mushrooms jalepanos...This gives HB time and focus to make an oustanding meaty and flavorful patty to showcase their burgers which gives it that homemade burger vibe. Plus the order came out quick! Portion size was generous and worth the price. Very tasty burger that will keep you full the rest of the day. I cannot forget the fries, which came out fresh and hot. A pinch of salt- just how I like them, which was the deciding factor for me to eat at HB versus driving back to training and risk my fries getting cold! I gladly indulged in every single bite of my burger and fries. Plus, I love that they have Pepsi versus Coke beverages. They sell one cup size for fountain drinks. Dining in? free refills! I also liked that the tables are spaced out and give people room to eat. Tables provided plenty of paper towels as well as you sink your teeth into your burger and possibly get a little undignified. No one will blame you. Good food deserves to be devoured and I most certainly will be back again to indulge accordingly.
