For some reason I'd passed on trying this place at least twice when I was looking for food in the area. My mistake. Good vibes, food from scratch, reasonable prices, modest atmosphere, and super friendly service. I'll be back soon. read more

My mom wanted to come to Shandy's for her birthday because we were doing an activity nearby afterwards. I eat a dairy free and grain free diet so this one was a little tough for me. I asked our server a couple questions about some of the dishes and was met with Irritation and rudeness and comments like, "of course there is cream in the mashed potatoes, it's mashed potatoes!" I was also told that the green beans were "just fried in a little bit of olive oil", yet they came out on my plate in a brown sauce. Hmm. Our server seemed to be very nice to a couple tables around us but not so much with us. She also appeared to be the only staff person in the restaurant out on the floor. I overheard other people calling her Shandy and it turned out she was the owner! I was appalled! As a female, I'm passionate about supporting other females and women-owned businesses, especially minority women. But I do expect a certain level of professionalism and to be treated with respect. I didn't find that at Shandy's :( My mom provided feedback to the owner after our meal and the owner indicated to my mom that my mom was the only person to ever give her this type of feedback. After reading other reviews, it appears that I am not the only one who has been made to feel this way. read more

Walked in and the waitress was so incredibly rude i walked right out. Didn't get to try the food and won't be back.

Shandy's has been a go-to lunch spot for years. Service and food are always consistent and never disappoint. Chicken rustica sandwich, black bean soup, and black beans and rice with shrimp are favorites. read more

Came in on a Tuesday evening for a chill, casual date night and had a great experience. The menu is very extensive and has something for everyone, along with very clean aesthetic ambiance, smooth jazz playing on the speakers, making it the perfect dinner! Great service and food, will definitely be coming back!! read more

I have been to the one off of Memorial before they moved to 19th street. I don't remember what they moved into and what the business used to be but automatically the parking is better and easier to get to. Lots of seating when I arrived but it was after the lunch rush. Orders were moving quickly and I ordered my to go and it was ready in minutes. I think because I go the cold salad sampler it came quickly. Food was okay and it would have been nice if it had come with crackers or something but it was a refreshing lunch for a hot day. read more

Food was delicious. Truly remarkable menu and flavor! The service was a bit slow considering that I was on lunch, but very attentive and personable overall. Ambiance is welcoming. They have a thrift store next door. Super dope vibe read more

One of the best Caesar salads I've had in a while. They have a large menu, pretty sure you could find an option for anyone. Service is straightforward, even the other diners were kind. Shout out to the other customer that heard me debating my options and gave me a list of great things to try. They seem to have a consistent base of loyal customers as they called a lot of them by name. I love seeing that for small local businesses! I know this is random, but there is salt and pepper shakers are so neat! The bathroom, while there's only one stall, it was large and clean. Parking can be challenging, but we were lucky enough to find a parking spot right in front. The time that I went, there were a few parking spaces nearby (this was on an evening of a weekday). Caesar salad (5/5) I'm always on the hunt for the best Caesar salad, and this one definitely competes! This is one of the best stressed salads I've had. I really enjoyed the fine shopping of the lettuce. Everything was perfectly balanced. Shrimp Fresca (4/5) - great portion, and the flavor was great. I really enjoyed the pesto on top. The sauce was nice and creamy with a little bit of tart from the sun-dried tomatoes. Hate that they are so far from me. Otherwise I would be there every week. I definitely recommend this if you're in the area. Plus they're super close to some dessert shops so you can get a treat after your meal. Support your local, small businesses! read more

I love exploring new places to eat so today I came across shandys the inside is very nice they decorated it for mardigras the server was a nice older Hispanic lady she was talking about the menu and the Mexican food menu I liked the options but the pricing was a bit too much I paid about 14 for a sandwich and fries my boyfriend got a burger for the same price and fries we both got water that tastes like sink water the fries were good just needed more flavor the burger didn't have anything special to it just like any other the sandwich was pretty good but still a basic grilled cheese overall it's an ok place read more

June 27, 2023 Came to town for a concert and picked this place. Shandy herself (owner) waited on us; very sweet. We sat at the bar and I just had FF and my friend had a mushroom swiss burger that she loved. The spicy shandy was yummy. My friend liked her specialty cocktail too. read more

Took me a minute to figure out why the woman working was so short with us. We aren't from the Heights so the demographic that comes here are the resturants biggest supporters. She was kind and talkative to every non-black person (we are the only ones - and she is black). If this is her personality usually that's unfortunate. Being nice to all customers brings you regulars but I digress. .... The food was good, warm, and fresh. The breakfast sandwich was super cheesy, I say more meat on there would be better. Won't be back because I can't stand being treated like that. Our Hispanic waitress however was amazing and sweet. She was attentive and welcoming. read more

Caesar salad is sooooooo good! Not something people usually order here it seems but it's very much worth it if you need to get some greens in your diet while visiting Houston! read more

Meh. Nothing special here. Still in Houston, we ordered delivery so can't speak to service or ambiance. The delivery came quickly enough. The turkey sandwich was just turkey and bread and a very small portion. Disappointing. The "chicken veggie" soup had plenty of chicken but little else. Just a few carrots and celery and a little of what looked like fideo pasta. It needed salt and veggies. The "club" sandwich was cut in half, not quarters, and had no layers. It was basically just a BLT, and not a very good one. Mixed fruit had no strawberries nor melon nor pineapple. It was just apples, grapes and blueberries. Salad was mainly lettuce with a tiny bit of tomato. The "German chocolate cake" was most disappointing. The cake was dark chocolate, not german chocolate and not fresh. The icing was mainly fudge icing. There was a little of what was supposed to be coconut caramel icing between the layers but not good. No pecans and no flavor. Probably came from a can. The oatmeal cookie was so bland my husband only ate part of it. Food was edible, but dry and small portions for the price. Definitely not worth going back again. read more

ALIEN ABDUCTION HITS SHANDY'S Where was everyone? The four stars are based on past visits. If today were my only experience, there would be fewer. That's because, after arriving around 4 pm, I saw that the "open" sign and hours were lit up and flashing, TV was on inside, lights were on, but the front door was locked. Knocking on both the door and front window produced no results. I then phoned and let it ring out. There was no outgoing message and no ability to leave a message. Cue Twilight Zone theme. Anyone know what's going on with the Heights Shandy's? Time to summon U.S. Space Force? read more

Overpriced and small portions. Nothing special about the food. So many other options in the area that stand out. This is not one of them.

The 2-napkin hamburger! Salads, pasta, chicken dishes, spinach-artichoke dip. All delicious. Great ambiance, the music sounds great in there! My go-to place in the Heights. read more

Always a wonderful, perfect, fun and flavorful experience. Entire family loves coming here. Turns out my atty, friends and clients do, too!

We were out looking at antique stores in the Heights and got hungry. Shandy's was attached to a really nice one on 19th street, so we thought we'd give it a try. OMG was that a great idea! We lucked into one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at! It was so cute and cozy. They had a whole Mardi Gras theme going and a ton of little 2 top tables. Their guacamole dip and chips were honestly the best I'd ever had anywhere, hands down, bar none. Their chips are cooked in house right before they come to your table, and there's so much guacamole dip you end up with some left over afterwards, even when you take big dips every time. Everything is freshly made and it definitely shows that they use the best ingredients. Idk how it was so cheap either. I ordered the breakfast burger, medium rare, as always, and it was perfect! The egg was even perfectly cooked where it pops and runs down the burger when you hit it. I'm telling you this place was amazing. My wife ordered the broccoli and chicken salad with pecans and even though my burger was amazing, after taking a bite of her salad I was kinda jealous! lol for real everything was amazing and I totally recommend eating here. It wasn't busy and we went at noon on a Saturday. I don't understand how there wasn't a 30 minute wait to get in. Maybe I shouldn't write such a good review because I don't want there to be next time! read more

A absolutely incredible place that my mom dragged me to originally and that I secretly dream about the pork chops because of now. Ms Shandy is a awesome presence and good for a laugh or two before she blows you away with her creations read more

Love the pesto pasta salad but would love at least one more kalameta olive since only 1 in the dish (every time I go). Their black tea is really good too. read more

I ordered the sandwich/soup/salad combo. I wasn't impressed with any of it. Chicken salad sandwich didn't have much flavor and the chicken veggie soup hardly had any veggies in it and not much flavor. Salad was just ok. Husband had the hamburger and said it was ok but nothing special. Once our waitress brought our food, she never checked on us again. Disappointed. read more

I recently hosted a surprise birthday party for a group of friends who were on a tight schedule. We Came early for drinks and dinner, everyone loved their entrees and drinks. Our server couldn't have been any friendlier or more efficient, and the surprise went off flawlessly. I recommend the lovely setting of the location on Heights 19th St as a great rendezvous spot. A full bar and a wide range of foods makes this a favorite! Look forward to going back soon! read more

I had the Grilled Chicken sandwich; it was delicious. But, man, my cousin had the Shrimp Fresca. She gave me a bite, and I had lunch envy. Next time, I will have to have that. Shandy's has an awesome dessert menu, so be sure and leave room. read more

We stopped in for lunch per recommendations on Facebook and also per looking at positive reviews. The service was great. Cute atmosphere. We had the spinach artichoke dip which was very tasty. I had the chicken salad sandwich which was ok, but nothing to write home about (I can make better chicken salad at home). It was also smaller than I expected. My husband had a burger that looked like it should have come off the kids menu (no way it would satisfy a 6'4, 250 pound man). My daughter had the tuna sandwich. Fries came with all the meals. The iced tea was good. The food is overpriced for what you get. We probably won't be back. read more

Tiny portions. 15.00 BLT extremely dry and skimpy. Fries came out totally wet covered in grease. Sodas are 4.50. Service is 5/10

Some of the worst food I've ever had. The bean soup was so thick that it was more of a dip. The BLT's lettuce was dark and wilted, the bacon was burnt, the bread was stale, and the size so small it should have been served at tea time. The buffalo chicken sandwich didn't use buffalo sauce and the fries it came with were soggy. The chocolate chip cookies didn't taste chocolatey at all because they were full of pecans, which was odd. I honestly felt secondhand embarrassment, similar to when you watch a cringey romcom fail. Cannot recommend. Run away! read more

Shandy's is always great and Shandy, the owner, is a treasure. We always dine here before a performance at the Heights Theatre. We tried a new dish here - the Shrimp and Hummus - as it had caught our eye when being served to other customers. It was delicious. We also had one of our go-to dishes which is easy to split - the pork chops. Always a winner! We will be back! read more

We randomly stopped into Shandy's while in the Heights after their menu outside the restaurant caught our eye and we really enjoyed it! We went at an off-time around 3:30 so it wasn't too crowded, but we were greeted upon walking in and the servers we interacted with were all friendly. I ordered the Rustica Chicken Sandwich, which was a slam freaking dunk. The ciabatta bread was super soft and the fillings of the sandwich were the perfect combination of savory, salty and spicy. I know I'm gonna be craving that sandwich in days to come. The fries were pretty mid, but came out freshly prepared so that was good. My husband got a cheeseburger and sweet potato fries and was also very pleased with his meal. The sweet potato fries were much more tasty than the regular fries, so I'll opt for those in the future. I would recommend stopping by and giving Shandy's a try! read more

Don't get the hype. My husband and I have been wanting to try this place for quite a while. We finally decided to give it a go on a rainy Sunday. The place was dead. The service was atrocious, as if the woman who was waiting on us was annoyed we were there. Two sandwiches and two iced teas was just shy of $50. Needless to say we were glad we tried it because we WONT be back read more

First time in and this place was great!! We popped in during a rain storm because we were hungry and wanted to stay dry LOL. We have been wanting to try it so seemed like a perfect time. I had the chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread with fries. It was delicious! The chicken salad was creamy and well seasoned. The pecans in it were a fun crunch. The gluten free bread was soft and fluffy, which can be hard to come by! As someone with a gluten allergy, having a gluten free option for sandwiches is awesome but when the bread is as good as this place, it's incredible! The fries were perfectly crispy, fresh and delicious. My husband got the Buffalo chicken sandwich, which wasn't a traditional Buffalo sandwich. We were told before placing our order, so that was nice for the warning! He went for it anyway and said it was tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. Their Christmas decor is fun. All in all we will be back! read more

Shandy's - Chicken salad sandwich on gluten free bread and fries - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

I ordered the spicy vegetable bean soup, expecting a flavorful, well-prepared dish, but what arrived was simply a bowl of plain black beans--disappointing and far from what the menu description suggested. The service was equally underwhelming. With only one server handling the entire restaurant, she seemed overwhelmed and uninterested. She never asked how we wanted to split the checks and was visibly annoyed when we requested separate tickets. If you're shopping on 19th Street, do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere. read more
