The food was great. We ordered a chicken fried chicken and a 7 oz skirt steak. Both meals came with a fresh, delicious salad, along with onion rings and fries. I liked that the onion rings and regular fries were served together, so there was no need to order them separately. We had a reservation at 5 PM and came to this restaurant after seeing it online. When we arrived at the host stand, we were seated right away. Our server, Charles B., greeted us in a very calm manner and simply asked if we had been there before. Since we said no, he asked what we would like to order. He didn't offer drinks, but overall he was very quiet and minimal in conversation considering we hadn't been there. We ordered an appetizer, but it didn't come out until we had to ask the food runner when our main dishes were already being brought out. Overall, the experience was not exactly what we expected in terms of service, but the food and atmosphere were both excellent. read more

Came here for brunch and I am thoroughly impressed! Superica was my fav restaurant so I was determined to dislike this place, but everything we got was so good that we will definitely be back! Drinks: unsweet tea and coffee - surprisingly tasty Apps: Vegetable crudités - high quality fresh vegetables with a unique dip. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would, it was refreshing and help our meal feel more balanced! Brunch mains: 1. steak and eggs - delicious!! The steak was perfect, I've never had a skirt steak that well cooked. I'm sure the steaks for dinner are just as good or better. The hashbrowns were really good too, they are covered in American cheese so if you don't like that kind get it removed. 2. Breakfast tacos - also amazing, best breakfast tacos I've had in a loonnggg time and they reminded me of superica . We got one with crispy potato and one with bacon, both on corn. The crispy potato in the taco was actually crunchy, 10/10. I would come back just to get the tacos tbh!! Gluten free review: they do seem to have a decent amount of gluten free options. The A2 steak sauce is gluten free, the French fries are gluten free but share a fryer I believe. Same things for the crispy potato skins. They offer corn tortillas for the breakfast tacos. There's a handful of gluten free apps as well. The waiter was super patient with all my questions and was happy to go ask the kitchen what was gluten free and what was not. Ambience - the inside is a cool saloon vibe. Texas country music playing and dim lights. They change the red checkered table clothes in between each table which I love for cleanliness. At the moment there is no outdoor seating but hopefully that will change! All in all, we will be back for brunch and dinner! I was expecting average over priced food but the quality and amount of food you get is great. After the skirt steak brunch, I bet I'd be happy eating the cheapest steak on the menu for dinner. Rip Superica but luckily we have something just as delicious (maybe more so) to take its place! read more

So we did the friends and family serving at 1 pm on a Friday. Admittedly hoping for dinner service but got brunch instead. I'll start with food was GOOD. They were seemingly out of Chicken Fried Chicken and Steak (and eggs) though they def came out to other tables while we were there. Drinks were good; frozen espresso martini and the SROF (old fashioned) were tasty. Milk Rolls were creamy and soft - but don't order unless it's 4 or more people b/c it'll fill you up. Onion rings and fries (50/50): fries were crispy and boardwalk-style but stick with the O-Rings! Big winner. Would probably have been great with a like a ranch dip or something like that. Wife ordered the migas. Not that it wasn't good, but it wasn't spicy; she loves spice and it's expected on a Mexican dish. Even with hot sauce it was ehhh on that front. When you switch from a Mexican spot to a more country diner type - keep the spices around. I ordered biscuits and bacon gravy with over medium eggs and this SMACKED of flavor (spice in particular). I'm not sure if this was like white pepper or what but holy cow that was good. They also brought us a comp jalepeno/cheddar sausage that was very good. Will def go back for dinner one night so we can get the steak, which the neighboring table said was the best thing they orderedo read more

Star Rover is not good. Their rolls were the best thing. Drinks not well made. Items like the vegetable crudités is low standard with Ice chips. It was not a good dish with the sauce being too salty.For the pricing they have for proteins etc. there are way better restaurants in Houston and close in proximity to go to instead. The waitress was nice and understanding. read more

Great food, amazing price. Perfect steak night on a budget with flavorful food well beyond the price. Adding to the rotation read more

WOW! Ambiance is casual but nice enough it still feels like a "steak" spot. I was insanely impressed with this steak- I've been to almost every fancy steakhouse in Houston and this steak surpassed most of them that are almost 2-3x the price. Each steak comes with salad, bread, and 50/50 fries/onion rings. While it is on the pricey side with 6oz filet at $55/plate when you include the sides it is WELL worth it. It's a 5 star steak without all the fuss of the fancier places. Definitely recommend- our steaks were cooked perfect and our service from Kat and Sav made our experience extra special. Cocktails were also phenomenal!!! read more

Great steakhouse design and a lot of food for the money! Several of us had the chicken fried chicken, great wedge salad with the hand cut fries and onion rings that come with the meal plus those great rolls!! The one thing that disappointed was the gravy which just wasn't impressive (bland). I actually ordered extra with the meal since I love my CFC and Chicken Fried Steak with lots of gravy and ketchup and I never touched it. Still feel its was 5 Star meal, but two things I would tweak: - Give the gravy a kick! - Pretty much all chicken fries throughout the US come with mashed potatos - maybe I had that option but don't remember seeing it on the menu? At least it was white gravy!! Good dining experience and great wait staff - party of 10. read more

I wanted to love Star Rover but we had a rough start that was hard to overcome. We were seated promptly for our 5:45pm reservation but probably at the worst table in the restaurant (another 2 top was open by the window the entire time we were there). They were crowded for 5:45 but they weren't on a wait. After being seated for 5 mins the hostess filled our water glasses but our waiter didn't greet us until 6pm, after I asked the hostess where he was. He was fine for the remainder of the meal. I got a steak and my husband the burger. Both were good, not exceptional. My steak was cooked perfectly but because it was served on a cold plate, it didn't stay warm. The ambiance and the sides were the highlight and the drink menu is well priced. However, due to the service issues we likely won't be returning anytime soon. read more

ribeye was pretty dank but insanely overpriced at $62. can go to Meat Mojo or many other places for a comparable ribeye at half the price. Chicken fried chicken was totally flavorless, seems like 0 salt in the brine if they even brined it. interesting that the CFC is so bad when their other restaurant literally next door has some of the best fried chicken in Houston. the potato wedges were actually really good and remained crispy even when they got cold. probably the best potato wedge I've had. pie was good. read more

This is the only restaurant I have been to that was so uncooperative. I asked them to hold my pancake until I finished my savory food. They refused. Then I asked if they could substitute my pork belly for bacon, again they refused. The service took forever and our food was the last to come out even though all the tables around us came in after us. Bottom line, there are thousands of restaurants in town that ate coorperative and have good service, to waste money and come here. Not to mention the food was super expensive. Our plates were $29 each. And I had to wait forever for a coffee refill. read more

I really wanted to love Star Rover because the space itself is beautiful. It has a great ambiance--lively but not too loud and the decor and location are definite highlights. The hostess was welcoming when we checked in (reservations are highly recommended). We were excited to try this place because of all the hype, but it's not quite where it needs to be yet. The service didn't fully match the setting. Drinks took a while to arrive, and although our server started off friendly, went mostly absent for the rest of the meal, we only saw the server a couple of times. At this price point, I expect service to be attentive and consistent. I don't think guests should have to look around or track down a server for basic needs. It felt a bit impersonal at times, and while I understand places get busy, service is a big part of the overall experience. The food was good overall. The Superica Hotcakes were tasty and thick, but could have used more syrup. The migas were also good, though they didn't come with the refried beans as expected. Other than that, everything was enjoyable. Overall, the atmosphere is great, but the service and execution need some improvement to fully match the hype and pricing. read more

The food was very good. The service was excellent. Love that salad and rolls come with the meal along with the onion rings and fries.

I wish the menu had descriptions on what the food was. The salad was full of cucumbers and onions. Ambiance, food, and service is FANTASTIC! Potato skins are a must! read more

Alrighty.. last nite was doozey at Star Rover, so the ambiance is old school Texas steakhouse vibe with taxidermy, and vintage framed pictures,dim lighting , intimate feeling with checkered red and white tablecloths . Cozy and fun for sure! So your options are steak, steak, and steak, there is one red fish dish, and a chicken dish, and a surf and turf. The appetizer menu isn't on the menu it's on a tiny sticky note on your table where your options are very limited Oysters,cruditie, potatoe skins.. we didn't order any of those they didn't sound appetizing. .so after that you choose your cut of steak and your ONLY option for sides is what everybody is getting ... Yeasty rolls, a green goddess salad that's the only dressing they offer, heavy on the red onions, heavy on the dressing, prolly ate 4 bites as did everybody at the table. Made me nauseous after a couple bites, then come some overcooked rolls they nobody touched , then comes your steak with French fries and onion rings! Wait what. I'm bring forced to eat French fries and onion rings with my steak ???? Where's the asparagus ? Where's the mashed potatoes? Where's anything ? I was served so many carbs at one sitting with no other options .. weirdest business plan I have ever heard of.. then we ordered a glass of wine with our steaks and it didn't arrive until the steaks were finished ., AND when the steaks were served we had no steak knives or forks, had a flag down a busboy to help us out , I was really disappointed with place, I wanted to like it, and to top it off they are charging twice what Saltgrass is charging .. ex. A 6 once filet at Star is 45.00 at saltgrass 27.00... and taste is better at Saltgrass.. Star ribeye cost at 10 ounces runs about 45.00 and Saltgrass is 12 ounces and 27.99... so your spending double at Star Rover and get no options for sides .. i would have to say I will be sticking with Saltgrass for a casual steak nite, better priced and better options for your sides. Also the cuts of meat at Star Rover are on the thin side , they are trying to cut costs of meat by using thinner cuts of meat they flash fry. So in conclusion, we told management about our experience and graciously took most of the items off the bill, that wasn't at all was I looking for we just wanted to share our experience, but that was very kind of them , not necessary I was happy to pay for it, but will I go back will I tell anybody to check it out? Prolly not. One very clever note., I like their A2 steak sauce.. you can't copy A1 but you sure can have an A2 sauceand one more thing when we told them we wanted vegetables with our steak they said 'order the cruditie with steak , and when we said we wanted mashed posted they said order the potatoe skins with your steak ... " that's not the answer I was looking for read more

Ugh. Would not recommend. Waited a few weeks after opening for them to get the kinks of opening a new restaurant out of the way. First, they used the same valet service that Superica did, which is a bad start to the evening. The food selection was pretty bare bones, steak or chicken (maybe one fish option?).. just different cuts of steak. All of the options, however, wildly over priced. The service was good, not great, considering the price point they're at. Food was fine, nothing worth writing home about. One of the ribeyes ordered medium rare came out well done. Salads are doused in bleu cheese. It's a bit hard to justify a 60+ dollar steak that comes with... onion rings. Bad ones at that. Best thing they had was the rolls, probably because they are doused in butter. I got the frozen espresso martini, which was just okay. It is more for aesthetics than drinking. After paying your very expensive dining bill, you're then sent on your way by the rude and very pushy valet service! For the price, go to literally any other steakhouse around for better service, more food options, better food and a wider variety of drinks. read more

Great steaks, biscuits and desserts! The ambiance was pretty cool and my kids liked the skee ball.

Paid for valet parking on a busy night. Their sign advertises wine, but there is no wine there worth drinking. Very limited offerings at that. The place was small and we left immediately. read more

Food was good and our server, Kat, was excellent! Some of my favorite oysters I've had in Houston and the rolls were delicious. Had the filet and it was a solid steak. Didn't knock my socks off but definitely did the job. The coconut cream pie and apple pie were out of this world. Great service, good food, couldn't be happier with the new restaurant! read more

You guys.....just, no. I wanted to like this place so badly! I saw a video of someone eating here on social media and it looked so delicious, and my visit was super disappointing to say the least. To be fair, there were a few positives, but I'll get to that. The place was packed, so be sure to make a reservation, which we did so no problems there: my party of 3 was seated on time and we each ordered a drink. Old fashioned, glass of Chardonnay, and a margarita. Y'all the drinks should have been first clue to leave! The SROF (old fashioned), which claimed to have two bourbons, tasted more like a Christmas candle and nothing like bourbon - I'm really not sure what that was about. The Chardonnay was so warm it tasted almost like it was heated up, and the margarita was super watered down. Big miss on the drinks. The salad and rolls that come with the mains were excellent - this is the highlight of the whole meal. We wanted to order potato skins as an appetizer, but they "ran out"? How do you run out of potato skins? Do you want me to run to Kroger for y'all to get potatoes?? Super confusing and we were really looking forward to them, but we move on. We ordered the burger, the chicken fried chicken, and the filet for our mains. Burger and chicken fried chicken were both good but the filet was super over cooked, I ordered it medium and it came out pretty well done. We wanted to order dessert but after being so disappointed at this point we just wanted to leave, so we asked for the check. For 3 guests each with one drink and a main it was $166. Warm wine, no potato skins, mid filet...just save yourself the time and go somewhere else. read more
