Went here recently for happy hour and had an amazing assortment of treats. Had many drinks. The food is so good. We got yum yum fries, the pretzel, and wings. Atmosphere is always great too. Only problem is the cocktails are pretty light during happy hour so I'd recommend to go on their good beer/wine selection to get your money's worth. read more

After a long day of traveling to Houston we were looking for something simple and satisfying. Thankfully Yelp suggested this incredible restaurant and the food was incredible. Its indoor/outdoor vibe feels welcoming and its located close to so many landmarks with parking options nearby. While we ended up doing some take-out, just my experience going thru the order/pickup process tells me enough that we should dine in next time when we have more energy to do so. The restaurant has an incredible community feel to it and you can see the crowds of people all around the outside. You can tell immediately that this is a place that the community loves. We ordered via the Yelp order link and the food was made quicker than we expected and even some instructions on how to get to the front of the line to get your pickup. As a family who comes to Houston a few times a year, the food was so good that it's a shame we didn't find this place sooner. We tried to mix up our food order to experience a little of everything. The Smoked Ribeye Melt had the most delightful ciabatta bread that was perfectly soft on the inside with a light crunch to its exterior. Its ribeye was just as delicious and pairs well with the horseradish dipping sauce that is tasty without having too much of a bite to it. The Pear and Bleu pizza was a fantastic balance of sweet and salty that felt light yet satisfying. The flavor profile of the pizza as a whole surprised me. I don't normally go with fruit on my pizza but this was delicious. Finally we decided to go a little spicy with The Spicy Goat. This pizza is another one with a great mix of flavors but the mango habanero glaze is to die for. Yes, it will make your mouth on fire but for this who enjoy heat, this one will take this pizza to a whole other level. I highly recommend eating in if you have the social battery to do so as the dessert and beverage menu looks amazing. You never know, you might come in and make some new friends with the great vibes that this spot has. I know I'll definitely be looking forward to the next opportunity to soak it in next time. read more

Been wanting to try this spot for a while and seeing it pop up on Yelp's top 100 made it feel like I had to go. Finally made my way out here and enjoyed myself overall. The staff were nice and my partner and I sat in their front patio as it was a nice Spring evening. They do a sort of fusion, pizza, seasonal menu type thing. We came on a Thursday and had a special of half off liquors so we each got a cocktail with our liquors of choice. We started with the yum yum fries which were very good. Battered fries covered in sweet, umami, slightly spicy sauces and various other toppings. They were a bit pricey for the portion though. I got the house kale caesar and added chicken to it. I got the large as I thought a small would be a side salad size but a large was definitely meant to be shared. The crutons were really good and I probably enjoyed that the most from my main. The salad itself was also good, nice caesar dressing, crunchy bitterish kale. The chicken was sort of a let down though and wasn't anything special. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and time here. I definitely want to come back and try some of their pizzas so will need to make a return trip! read more

We came here recently for dinner with friends and had a great experience. It's a converted house with a spacious patio out front and some seating in the back. If the weather is nice, go to the "backyard" of the house and there is plenty more outdoor seating back there. Bring your furry friend and enjoy one of the two patios together! We started off with draft beers. Our server was knowledgeable of all the beers they had on draft and made some good recommendations - all local beers from the greater Houston area. For food, we got the Yum Yum Fries, Garlic Honey Soy wings, Tom Yum wings, Spicy Goat pizza, and the Romesco pizza. The Yum Yum Fries were a great starter - the fries were crispy and the tangy sauce complemented them well. Both of the wings were quite meaty and flavorful; the tom yum flavor was surprisingly very resemblant of tom yum! The Spicy Goat pizza reminded me of the prosciutto & arugula pizzas offered at similar pizza joints. The Romesco pizza had to be my favorite of the night. While I don't normally like jalapeños on pizza, they went well on this one paired with the pepperonis and red onions; my favorite part was the crispy onion strings on top! I've also been here a couple other times for their Monday steak nights. It begins at 6pm (after happy hour concludes) and includes prime rib, mashed potatoes with onion strings, brussels sprouts, and a draft beer all for $25. Not a bad deal at all, and I think the prime rib cut is seasoned really well - not to forget you get a beer with it too. Southern Yankee Crafthouse is a great neighborhood spot with good food and plenty of drink options. Service was top notch throughout the night and if you're in the mood for wine after your meal, go check out Light Years next door! read more

Came in on a Saturday at 5 pm and sat on their balcony. Fair number of seats open both inside and out. Food 5/5: We ordered the truffle fries, crispy smoked porky belly, pistachio crusted lamb chops and bacon jammed Brussels sprouts. Also got a. Flight of beer. Everything tasted amazing, only small thing was the lamb chops could've been a little warmer. Highly recommend both apps Service 5/5: super friendly and helpful, food came out really fast Ambiance 4/5: low key casual ambiance, clean Value 4.5/5: great food for a pretty good price, similar quality to some of the nicer places in time without the fancy ambiance price tags Overall 4.8/5: will definitely be back to try some of their other options on the menu. read more

Wow, everything we had here including the tom yum wings and the Peach Fizz and the Caribbean Queen Mocktails were absolutely outstanding. The wood fired oven makes everything taste amazing!!!

We will most definitely be back! read more

Southern Yankee captures the spirit of gastropubs and Montrose as a whole. It's a lively vibe that fits most occasions, hot or cold, indoors or outdoors. With indie music such as Tame Impala and Glass Animals playing through the speakers, it's just upbeat enough to spark a conversation with friends -- but not so rowdy that you're fighting to get a couple words in. They nailed the Southern Yankee Craft Burger. It contains a unique jalapeno bacon jam as well as more common ingredients such as pimento cheese and crispy onion rings. Excellent combination of flavor and will satisfy most people in most situations. The steak fries tasted decently seasoned as well. Having only 2 days to reconnect with friends and family, I'm glad I chose this gathering spot among all the others that Houston has to offer. It was a great experience all around! read more

I am so glad that we found this place on Yelp! It should be a #1 restaurant location! The restaurant is tucked away in a beautiful area, but shouldn't be overlooked. It's bright and feels very cozy and "home-y". The service was incredible! Immediately greeted and welcomed with cold glasses of water. All the staff were friendly and knowledgable. The food and drink menu had several options to choose from: something for everyone. The food and drinks were incredible. This is a MUST if you are in the area! read more

We are visiting from San Antonio and were searching Yelp this morning unsure of where we wanted to go for brunch/lunch. Decided this place sounded interesting and my goodness did we choose well! First: the service could not have been better. We dealt with two servers, Charlotte and a guy whiae name we missed, both SO nice. Hubby got the chilaquiles with fried chicken added and I got the grinder sandwich at Charlotte's recommendation. Both were excellent and their fries are epic. We sat on the front deck/patio and even tho it doesn't have a great view, enjoyed it very much. We will definitely return! read more

Southern Yankee Craft House was a whole vibe. The atmosphere gave me Cheers energy, everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came. It felt welcoming, lively, and comfortable all at the same time. The food was excellent. I had a margarita, crispy smoked pork belly, and cowboy candy all flavorful and done right. My husband and I split the ribeye melt with fries, and it did not disappoint. Service was top tier. Grant the bartender kept our drinks replenished and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Bonus: the ambiance was perfect for getting a little work done. I connected to the WiFi, pulled out my laptop, and handled a few things during happy hour (3-6 PM, M-F). Productive and relaxed? Yes please. We'll definitely be back. read more

Been here a few times before writing! Each time it never misses. Both the patio and inside are great for seating. Wondering what parking is going to be like soon once the lot they use will be developed. The mixed drinks are lively and great. Always something amazing. For dinner you can't miss with any of the pizzas and wings. Mix the ranch and buffalo sauce together. Thank me later. Tried brunch one Sunday after visiting the MFAH. The Friday was great. It's a spot I always bring out of town friends to check out! read more

We decided to celebrate August birthdays celebration with our friends here. It was a pretty chill and casual place with awesome service. We were seated in the front patio because we had a big group and their front patio is covered with fans but this Houston heat was just unbearable. Our server, Steven, was nice enough to move us inside when we asked him so we were really grateful for that!! My husband and I opted to order from Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. I ordered the Ribbon Salad, Truffle Bianca Pizza, Fruit Tart. The ribbon salad and fruit tart were good. However, the truffle bianca pizza definitely had the truffle but I was not amazed by it. Overall, their food is not bad and this is not a bad casual place to hang out with especially with friends. It's also a big place with a front and back patio. They also have a free parking lot across the street. read more

Happy Yelping! read more

Awesome place. Stopped for a late lunch on a Saturday, small interior but 2 large outdoor seating areas. Good variety on the menu and great drinks list as well. They serve brunch until 3pm on the weekends. We ordered cowboy candy and smoked cream cheese to start. DELICIOUS. The crackers seemed homemade and were so buttery. I ordered the craft burger and my husband ordered the breakfast burrito. Burger was delicious, I'm a sucker for anything with pimento cheese on it. Fries were excellent. Breakfast burrito was SO flavorful. Wrapped up the meal with drinks: candied pecan old fashion and Cherry Red cider. Service was quick and our waitress so was friendly and sweet. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

I had brunch with my girlfriends here a couple months ago. My friend had recommended it. Didn't realize it was close to where we lived. Park across the street in the church lot, but be careful crossing the street. It was a hot day, so we found a large table inside. There's a small covered patio seating in the front as you walk in. Service was great throughout. Each of us ordered a different item that we each got to try or share. Zero Proof Piña de Nada - Too sweet. Kind of tasted like fruit punch. Tikka masala pizza - Flavorful. Much like having tikka masala with naan. Crispy pork belly - Fair. Some parts were dry and other pieces, the fat wasn't rendered enough which made it chewy. Didn't have the melt-in-your-mouth feel. The butternut squash and goat cheese was good with it. Brussels sprouts - I liked them. Straightforward. The glaze wasn't too sweet. Roasted well. Fried green tomatoes - Good but still a bit tart and ripe. The jalapeño bacon jam (really sweet) and pimento cheese overpowered the whole dish. Pretzel bread puddin' French toast with bacon - my favorite of all the things we've tried minus the chocolate cookie skillet. I thought the French toast was amazing. I love bread pudding, so this was on point. Cast iron chocolate chip cookie with vanilla bean ice cream - Saw this delivered to another table from afar. Inquired about it, and my girlfriends and I had to have it. It was served bubbling hot and fresh with vanilla bean ice cream. Hard to eat cause it was so hot and would burn your tongue but so worth it! I'd come back for the French toast and dessert. Would like to try other dishes. read more

It was a Wednesday, late afternoon and I as surprised how busy it was. But it was rodeo and this was a convenient stop before heading into the madness of Rodeo Houston traffic. It was raining so we decided to eat inside, though the patio is completely covered. The restaurant is clean and stylish. The staff friendly. The food, we shared the heirloom tomato caprese salad and the meat lover's pizza. Both were delish. My husband had a beer, I had a glass of wine, I don't remember the details of the drinks, but they were both consumed. I would most definitely come back. Not gonna wait for rodeo, I'll come back sooner! read more

It is not wheel chair accessable. The closest parking is across W. Alabama. Also, the negative reviews are removed

I've driven past the Southern Yankee countless times and finally decided it was time to stop in for lunch. Designated parking is across the street and for a weekend there was a lot of available spaces. It was a little too hot for us to sit outside so we opted for a table inside. This place is a decent size. Trendy, clean, and is fast paced. Menu had a wide range of options. We went with the grinder and wings. The food was great. Wings were charred perfectly and flavorful, grinder was classic, and fries were a great addition. Service was friendly and fast. My only con... wings were $14 a pound. I got 6. That's a little steep for me considering there are no sides and it just doesn't seem like a good deal. read more

How have I never been here??? After seeing reviews last night, I made sure to come hungry and now I'm so stuffed but can't wait to return. Ok sadly to say, I never finished my initial review. I have been here 4x's since when I started this review. I must say everyone is always helpful and everything we've ever ordered has been delicious!! The pretzels are always a must as they are made fresh and seasoned with just the right amount of butter and salt. Mmm good . I have also ordered the fried green tomatoes (in the past) and the pork belly bites. Both are large enough portions to share with the table. My go to entree is always the hot-n-crunchy trout. It's two filets and also shareable. My husband and son ordered a variety of wings and those too were delicious. For dessert, my son ordered the craft house peach cobbler. It was too sweet for my liking but they really enjoyed it. The ambiance is casual bar vibes however, the food is far from your traditional bar food. They have a variety of specialty cocktails and craft beers. read more

southern yankee craft house is a decent place. the staff is nice, there food is fresh, and the seating arrangements are comfortable. this is a casual neighborhood restaurant. the price points are average, but a little on the pricier side. everything was decent, but the frittata could've used a little more salt but salt can be tricky for everyones palette. but im a pescatarian/vegetarian, so sometimes i like dishes more on the savory side. overall, i was satisfied. would i return? potentially. bonne appétit read more

This place is very clean, the service is on point and they are so helpful, the food is top notch and well done no matter what you get. We sat outside and it was beautiful.

We tried the pizza, and I didn't know that's what they were known for, but the pizza was sooo good! The crust had a good texture and the sauce was perfect. The burger was well seasoned and the chicken sandwich was tender inside and crunchy outside. This is such a great place to visit for the weekend. Looking forward to going back read more

Stopped In for dinner after deciding I was not in the mood to cook. I think we were a tad hungry when deciding since it took us forever since everything seemed so good. We started with the fries and salad. Both came out really quickly. They even were nice enough to have the cilantro on the side for me. The fries were great. We cleaned the plate. Same with the salad. The shroom pizza wasn't it for me. The grinder was definitely better in my opinion. Overall everything seemed fresh and on a busy night came out quickly. The feel on the back patio felt just like someone's backyard and honestly shocked that we weren't forgotten since how busy elsewhere was. read more

Tried this spot out after always driving past it. Stopped in during brunch hours. I want to come back to try the bread pudding French toast, because that sounds absolutely lovely.

The wait staff were very friendly and willing to answer questions. We weren't assigned to one server, and they were all so helpful. Ordered the brunch style pizza, swapped bacon for chicken. 3.5/5..

If you're looking for a place with great food, Southern Yankee Craft House is definitely worth trying out. Located in the heart of Montrose, this spot offers a solid selection of burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and wings--classic Southern American comfort food done right. Everything we ordered was delicious, and I would absolutely order it again. One of the standout features of this place is that it's dog-friendly, making it a great spot to bring your pup while enjoying a meal. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can choose whatever vibe suits you best. Interestingly, this location used to be a hot dog restaurant before transforming into what it is today, and they've really made the space their own. The service was nice and staff was friendly and attentive. There is no direct parking at the restaurant so you have to park across the street but it's not far away at all. Overall, Southern Yankee Craft House delivers on flavor and atmosphere. Whether you're craving a good burger, some wings, or just a laid-back spot to enjoy great food, this place is a solid choice. read more

This place was great! I came out here for a happy hour get together with some colleagues and I am already planning to go back. Parking. They have a lot across the street. It might take a second to get across, Texas drivers amiright... There's also street parking around, so you should be able to find a spot somewhere. Not a problem to find a landing spot. Happy Hour It's a goodun. Weekday Happy Hour Mon-Fri 3-6pm. $3 off menu cocktails (Signatures and Classics) and wine, $2 off draft beer. They have a good assortments of beers and cocktails, as well as NA mocktails. Something for everyone. They also have a special after 7p on some days of 2 pints and a pizza for $25. That is a steal. Foods Let me tell you about the Crispy Smoked Pork Belly. You have been told. Melt in your mouth fat and meat, with delightfully crispy skin over pureed butternut squash. If this was bottomless, I'd never leave. Hear me out, Pickle Pizza. It isn't what you think, and it's amazing. The flavors compliment each other perfectly.

Love this place! Came for the first time in December and loved it so much we got my sister and brother in law a gift card for a date night here for Christmas. We got the cowboy candy and smoked cream cheese and a seasonal starter that was burrata in a red sauce and pesto. We have also now gotten the pork belly bites which were also amazing. The pizzas were delicious, the fish and chips are awesome, kalua bbq pork bowl got devoured. As far as drinks the seasonal idle cran was amazing and would love for this to be a permanent addition. Also the bartenders bouquet was amazing and they make a good lemon drop martini off menu! We will continue to come here. read more

I've been here so many times, I can't believe its taken me this long to write a review. I've been going to his place since they first opened, as I only live down the block. This place is a great casual place to hangout, have some drinks, eat some excellent food, and also watch some sporting events. There are TV's both inside and outside on the back patio. Both the front and back patio are shaded, perfect for those hot, sunny days. I also love the fact that the outside is dog friendly. For drinks they have their craft beer menu - I'm not a beer drinker but the friends I've been here with have enjoyed it. There is also a full bar - my favorite drink is the Cosmonaughty. There is also a non-alcoholic drink menu for those who don't drink. Onto the food....I have not disliked a single thing here. I've probably tried about half their menu - which is always evolving - so its always been enjoyable to come back and try different things. These are my favorite things on their menu: - Mango habanero wings: they have such a great kick! - Crispy asparagus - Fried chicken kale cobb salad - Meat lovers pizza - Pear & bleu pizza - Duck duck shroom pizza - They used to have a huevos rancheros that I loved on their brunch menu but recently tried their Chilaquiles which was also good! FYI, the pizza is more of a flat bread type pizza- not an actual authentic pizza pie. Perfect to share for 2-3 people. Service is great here! Everyone is friendly, attentive. and makes great recommendations. There is a large parking lot across the street and also neighborhood parking. I love this place and it's a great addition in the neighborhood! read more

Been a minute since we had been here so stopped by recently. It was one of the colder days and only seating available was outside but the space heaters definitely made it comfortable. I had the beef stroganoff which was a hot, hearty dish for a cold day. The flavors were really good, the pasta delicious and the meat super tender. The only thing I would change was how much sour cream was on top, I thought more of a dollop than almost cover g the whole dish. Still very tasty and perfect dish for that day. Our waitress was great, super friendly and attentive. Offered up her favorites and also gave beer recommendations for what we were looking for. Everyone here is always very friendly. read more

We were looking for a dog-friendly place with a nice patio, and after trying three other locations, we finally found this gem. I have never encountered a place with so many dog lovers among the staff. Everyone came over to meet my dog. We were quite hungry, so I was grateful when the waitress promptly approached us after we seated ourselves. I ordered the pepper-crusted steak, while my husband chose the kimchi chicken.
