Aptly named The 401 after the zip code it sits in. Brave entry in the area beginning possible in 2019. This is what I would consider to be an upscale dining restaurant with a unique assortment of specialty dishes. Ordered hot honey chicken bites, Brussels sprouts as starters and they both were excellent. In fact everything was excellent. Greek salad, Sonoma chicken salad on wheat with orzo salad and the chicken skillet pot pie. All very good. Neat feel to the building and kept impeccably clean. Specialty cocktails, happy hours etc... Would expect to find this restaurant in the heart of First Colony or in premium dining downtown. So great to see upscale dining in Bellaire. Found prices to be very fair given quality. Wood fire pizza on site. Tons of options. Will definitely be back. Well done! read more

The '401 - Cast-Iron Chicken Pot Pie Fire Fire-Roasted Brussels Sprouts (VEG) Side Greek Salad (VEG) - American Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Great location in Bellaire with plenty of parking. The restaurant is large with indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar area with 3 televisions. The Orchard Chicken & Apple Salad was delicious and made to order... the grilled chicken was steaming when it came out which was a nice touch. My friend ordered the Poblano Chicken entree which came with green beans and mashed potatoes & he really liked it. Our waitress was polite, and the place was very clean. I would recommend it for brunch, lunch or dinner. read more

I have one very important question... where has this place been hiding?! Because how am I just now discovering a pot roast this good? The kind that tastes like someone's grandma has been back there cooking all day with love and zero shortcuts. The pot roast was tender, flavorful, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. The green beans were perfectly seasoned, the mashed potatoes were rich and comforting, and yes... I treated myself to two onion rings and I regret absolutely nothing because they were worth every bite. This meal felt like comfort food done right -- hearty, homemade, and exactly what your soul needs after a long day. The portions were generous, the flavors were spot on, and now I'm honestly wondering how many times I've driven past this hidden gem without stopping. Safe to say I'll definitely be back... and next time I might need more than two onion rings. read more

I had the Bistro Chipotle Cheeseburger, and it was pretty good, but I was expecting a little more chipotle flavor. It could definitely use a bit more chipotle sauce to make it stand out. The real surprise was the Fire-Roasted Brussels Sprouts. They were amazing and easily one of the best appetizers I've had in a while. I highly recommend ordering them. The highlight of the meal, though, was the Poblano Chicken (aka the chicken fried chicken). It was outstanding and easily the best dish I tried. I'd recommend it over the burger without hesitation. In my opinion, it's even better than the chicken fried chicken at Mia's Table or Grace's. The only downside was the service. It was a bit slow, and our server wasn't very attentive, so there's definitely room for improvement there. Even with that, the food made the visit worthwhile, and I'd definitely come back, the restaurant was clean and has a nice layout. read more

The '401 - Roasted Brussels Sprouts - highly recommend! - American Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

The 401 is a causal restaurant with adequate parking and a spacious dining room. It's a popular restaurant for the area so reservations or early an arrival should be considered. My server was friendly and no long waits from the time of introductions to the arrival of food were experienced. My meal started with Tortilla Soup 4/5 followed by Parmesan-Crusted Rainbow Trout 5/5 served with Brussels Sprouts (3/5 too sweet for me) and pasta. The size of the dish would easily satisfy big appetites. I've dined here twice and both times very happy with the atmosphere and great food, looking forward to the next visit. read more

My coworkers are always hyping this place up, so I needed to visit to see what the hype was about. Y'all..I understand it now. Those brussel sprouts and poke nachos I ordered, were absolutely scrumptious. The decor was of course on point and very fitting for the ambiance and the waitress did a great job at making sure all needs were met. Will for sure be visiting again! read more

Fuimos para el día de las madres y nos gustó mucho. Muy buen servicio y hasta nos regalaron una mimosa a las mamis para festejar. La comida muy rica, muy rápido el servicio y muy tranquilo el ambiente y los precios no se me hicieron razonables. Me gusta este restaurante porque tienen variados platillos para diferentes gustos y restricciones dietéticas. Tienen zona de bar así que se me hizo buena opción para ir a ver algún partido del mundial de fútbol este verano, solo les aconsejaría tener pantallas mucho más grandes. read more

I had a SUPER leisurely lunch here today with friends! My out of town friends suggested this local restaurant. Immediately seated. The server gave us ample time to order as we sat chatting for a bit, and we sat after lunch for a bit. This is a very pretty local restaurant - it is well populated by the locals, and people are also coming around from nearby towns. Our meals came out in about 10 minutes and the only think that was better than the food presentation was the taste! - nice portions too. No photos of the ice tea but it was also very good. We didn't try the appetizer this time. Normally we'll get the artichoke dip. There's an overflow parking lot a block away as the parking in front can fill up during peak time. read more

Upon opening the door, I was loving the interior of the restaurant. There was a bench surrounded by fake flowers for customers to take pretty pictures. The bar area was on the right. I had the fire-roasted Brussels sprouts, and Sun-Dried Tomato Lemon Pasta. The Brussels sprouts were crispy, but the sweet chili sauce didn't had any spiciness to it. The lemon pasta was flavorful. It was lemony, but not tart. There is a kids area with TV, tablets, and books for kids. Kids eat free on Mondays with purchase of an adult entree. There is ample parking in front of the restaurant. Reservation isn't necessary, but the influx of patrons during peak hours is high. I would go back to try other dishes. read more

Okay this place is cute and has a lot to offer both on the menu and in unique experiences. The interior is really cuteee. Also interesting note they have a child's play room. The menu is very diverse and has something for every pallete whether you're vegan, pescatarian or a carnivore. They also have an array of beverages to choose from both alcoholic and non alcoholic. Our waiter was great and very helpful with choosing apps and entry selections. We ordered the jalapeno hummus with pita bread and I found it to be pretty bland. For my main course I ordered the vegan Mediterranean bowl and I added salmon like other reviewers recommended! Umpt ya know I wasn't that impressed but it did taste fresh! Now would I try this place again yes! Because the service is good and I want to try their brunch! read more

This is a fun local Bellaire restaurant with a lot of local and personal touches by the owner. The dishes are well made and are very filling if you're looking for entrees, not to mention they have a happy hour drink and food menu. I love the indoor/outdoor concept of the place as well. It feels elevated but not stuffy so you can definitely have a casual time there with friends/family/self/date. Can I also add, we ate at the bar and the staff was wonderful. read more

So we came in for lunch on a Monday with a another family for a party of 4 adults and 6 kids. So The '401 has a Monday special where kids eat free with the purchase of an adult entree. You can definitely tell this place, while a great brunch and date spot, also caters to families. There is even a dedicated play room for the kids so that the adults can actually have some conversation. Fortunately, we were there early so our large party of kids didn't have to fight with other kids inside. I really liked the Sun-Dried Tomato Lemon Pasta and The Chicken '401. While we had a brand new server who made a few mistakes, we could tell he was really trying and he was very polite and courteous. The decor inside is trendy and clean and just adds to a very pleasant experience. I am sure we will be back, especially with the Monday special. read more

I haven't come here in a while, since 2018 when I heard this place first opened until a co-worker brought up how good the food was when they went for lunch. So my co-workers went out for lunch to try the food and I really enjoyed everything! We ordered some shishito peppers for an appetizer and artichoke dip. I ordered the shrimp pasta which was really good. The noodles were al dente and I enjoyed the artichoke dip. I'm giving 4 star because the waitress we had didn't really check on us until after we finished and I finally got a water refill by the time the bill came out. I wish she had come by earlier because it would have been great to ask for red chili peppers. The interior is really nice and pretty and I believe there's big tables to seat large groups of 6+ as well. No reservation needed which is great! read more

I really enjoy eating at The '401 Their menu includes everything from a variety of appetizers, salads, soups, burgers, chicken sandwiches, gyro, platters, pasta entrees, Parmesan chicken etc....sides and even pizzas. I have ordered many meals dining inside and on their covered patio as well as placing many to go pick up orders. What really stands out is the service! Especially by one of their fabulous staff, Heidy! Kudos to her for the professional warm friendly and prompt service I received this past weekend as well as tonight at dinner. I knew our experience tonight would also be top notch as it was last time. I appreciate her so much and will look for her the next time I dine in! Thank you Heidy!! read more

I actually would rate this restaurant a 3.5. A group of three of us went on a Saturday at 11:30 am. It is a much more casual, easygoing place than I expected but it made us all feel comfortable. My friends had a Oaxaca Old Fashioned and Lemon Drop that they truly enjoyed. We shared Fire Roasted Brussel Sprouts which were great- not a lot of oil and very flavorful. We then had the vegetarian breakfast tacos which were very fresh and tasty. The Churro Waffle was very blah and indistinct but the huge winner was the Brunch pizza- that would be what I would go back for. It had a nice kick to it! Our server was below average, unfortunately read more

I tried this place because I was looking for something on the healthy side to eat and it didn't disappoint. The server was nice and helped me to choose my meal. I ordered to go and it took me about 15 mins to get my food. There was a little waiting area that was open to the restaurant which was nice. My meal was tasty and the portion size was large. I would definitely visit again. read more

I had never heard of this restaurant before, my friends mom held her annual ladies Christmas gathering here this past weekend. This was a last minute reservation as the restaurant we had previously picked had a mix up with our reservation. I was so impressed that the restaurant was able to accommodate our party of 12. Our waiter was so nice and friendly and all of our food came out in a timely manner and everything came out correct. The food was delicious and the restaurant was very spacious. I'm obsessed with their Brussel sprouts! Everything was so good. Their carrot cake was delicious and such a good size for several of us to share. Will definitely will be going back. Parking is limited as there are several businesses around. read more

One of my fav spots to introduce ppl to. Stopped by for lunch my most recent visit. Service was paced well, waitress and manager were friendly.

The '401 - Crab Cakes, Fire-Roasted Brussels Sprouts, strawberry lemonade - American Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

If dining were a round of golf, 401 Table & Tap would be that course you can't wait to play again -- the one where every hole feels dialed in and the clubhouse service is second to none. We grabbed seats at the bar and were immediately impressed. The service was outstanding -- attentive without being overbearing, the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. The Whitley's Porch cocktail is an absolute ace -- consistent, balanced, and perfectly executed every time. From the small plates, we went with the crab cake and crispy chickpeas, both prepared to perfection and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen here takes pride in their craft -- no mulligans needed. Customer service? Top shelf. Food quality? Tour-level. Every experience I've had here has been right down the middle -- smooth, enjoyable, and worth coming back for. Highly recommend you give 401 Table & Tap a try -- trust me, it's a guaranteed birdie for your taste buds. read more

Looking for a kid-friendly restaurant to bring my great nephew and great niece to, I reached out to Jando, my Yelp Elite connection. He shared several options and the one that stood out was @the401bellaire. Had many choices for the kids and still a foodie place for the adults. Dad had their fresh Strawberry Lemonade, my brother had a Corona, and I had the Pepe Chelada. One of Dad's favorites is the Spinach Artichoke Dip and this one was made in a cast iron pan. Yummy! The kids had the Penne Mac and Cheese and Grilled Chicken. My sister in love had the Crab Cakes as her meal. Was a bit disappointed that it didn't have more chunks of crab. Dad and I shared the Italian Meatloaf. Thought he would have enjoyed the mashed potatoes but Dad didn't care for this version. I thought it was good. My brother had the Pesto Margherita Pizza. For a sweet treat, my great nephew and great niece shared a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall was a decent meal. read more

Nice neighborhood restaurant in The '401. Start with a snack or a small plate. The fire-roasted Brussels sprouts are so delicious. The crispy Cajun chickpeas are such an addictive, tasty snack. Favorites for dinner include the gyro plate, salads and seafood entrees. The grilled salmon is topped with guacamole, feta and chopped tomatoes. Served with French green beans, butternut squash and sliced pita, it is a good choice for dinner. The gyro plate is like a deconstructed gyro. Lots of space in this open concept restaurant. Make a reservation as they can accommodate large groups or sign up on the Yelp virtual waitlist. They are always busy. Parking is available. Nice to have dinner at The '401 in the (77)401. read more

Freakin' excellence! Outstanding! I had two different signature cocktails of theirs that I randomly picked just to be surprised. They were both delicious, thirsty-quenching, and potent. I wish I could remember which ones but, it doesn't matter. I plan on going back and trying them all. Beautiful bar and their barkeeps know their stuff. The beef tenderloin quesadilla was exceptional. Sriracha wings were good. Fun place. Great service. Food and drinks very good. read more

One of the restaurants we always have in rotation. They changed the menu a while ago, which is why I took off one star.

Second time here and we tried something completely different. The food was equally good if not better. Perfect atmosphere for outside dining on a breezy day. Service was good and appreciated!

Nestled in the heart of Bellaire and named after it's zipcode (#1), The '401 really tries to be everything to everyone. They've been a popular destination for all the wonderful amenities and community support. After seeing all the wonderful amenities they have, it's not hard to see the're among the most versatile establishments in the neighborhood. For starters, the place is modern, clean, and incredibly spacious. To say the place is group friendly is a bit of an understatement, as they can accommodate massive groups no problem. The decor is on point and feels super friendly for all They have a nice and sexy bar, complete with televisions and ample seating. Their outdoor patio is perfectly partitioned from the main dining hall and they have a big open kitchen in the back. Restrooms are spotless and they clearly cater to families with a dedicated kids play room. I've only been here for brunch, but I gather the place is ideal for all occasions. The food is kind of a eclectic mix of American fare with nods to a bit of Latin and Middle Eastern cuisine. A majority of the menu leans hard into salads, bowls, sandwiches, pizzas and pastas. It literally is a mixed bag. They really do thrive with healthy eats and have a number of alternatives that go beyond the usual salads. From beyond burgers to cauliflower crusts to the standard brussel sprouts, it's an impressive array of stuff. Don't sleep on the protein bowl if possible. bs up. I think the protein bowl is a good choice, are hearty, yet light. Beyond that, the burgers are solid despite the small'ish patty. I have been pleased with a majority of the brunch choices, especially the omelettes. The lemon pasta and the cajun chickpeas are fun. While their pizzas are okay for snacking, I think the quesadillas are a safer bet. The mac and cheese is close to an abomination, which is really just some sauce and penne pasta. I was very pleased with the service. Most of the wait staff is amiable, professional and very easy going. Parking is very abundant with a self-contained lot and the prices are moderate: not too low, not too high. Reservations and online orders can be done directly through Yelp as well. ___________ (#1) 77401 read more

Don't be fooled driving up to this establishment. The restaurant is nestled near the old Sharpstown mall, but is in a nice well lit building. My friends and I met here last night and it was packed.

Everyone had something different at the table and enjoyed their choices. I got the Rainbow Trout which came with Brussels and pasta. Food came out quickly and hot.

Always friendly and efficient with a nice variety of choices and always busy. They do serve and too. It's a quaint, trendy little spot tucked away on the corner near the post office with inside/outside seating. My absolute fav is the Power Bowl with quinoa kale patties. Every single bite is delicious! They pack such flavor into every single ingredient. The QK patties are so good, I could eat by themselves. But add all the veggies and the perfect bit of basmati rice and you have a bowl full of bright nutritious perfection. It comes with choice of dressing, but seriously none is needed. . My other picks would be the baked goat cheese followed by the spinach dip. The burgers look very tasty , but I haven't tried one yet. They have curbside with a smile which is what I did in this review. The generous portions are carefully plated and packaged. I did order the peach tea bc I'm always looking for a refreshing caffeinated low cal, but alas they have me regular tea -bummer! But the rest of my specifications were spot on. Definitely pop in the next time you're in the Bellaire area. read more

The '401 - Power Bowl with Quinoa Kale Patties - American Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

Average experience - good place to catch up with people who like American food. They have a pretty basic menu with tacos, salad bowls, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and pasta. Prices are average maybe overpriced with the amount of protein you get. My friend got a chicken sandwich and the breading was too thick, she gave 3/5. Fries were also soggy but seasoned well. My other friends enjoyed their Philly cheesesteak sandwich and chicken 401. 4/5 I got the seafood etouffee and was actually surprised at the amount of crawfish. I wish the etouffee and rice were separate because it felt like bits of rice and seafood swimming in the stew. There were also only 2 measly pieces of garlic bread that was not enough. However I did enjoy the dish 3.5/5. They have a kids play area so I think this may be popular for families. Pretty busy on a Friday night. Ample parking. read more
