However, bonus for sitting outside is that they're having a promo during HRW where happy hour drink specials are going on all day. The food and drinks were all yummy though. We got the yum yum fries for the table to share. I ordered the duck duck shroom pizza and the aperol spritz. The portions of everyone's food were huge so I'd say a good bang for your buck. We experienced multiple servers with our table switch and they were all nice and helpful.

The ambiance was beautiful too, and the speakeasy was such a fun bonus. The monkey bread was the perfect way to start ! Warm, soft, and dangerously easy to keep eating. The baked potato was probably one of my favorite sides; it was super creamy with this crusted layer that basically melted in your mouth. The NY Strip steak was perfectly seasoned and definitely lived up to expectations. The branzino was fresh and cooked well, but the seasoning was a little too subtle for me, so it didn't stand out as much as the other dishes. I also wasn't a huge fan of the cabbage. Overall though, Credence absolutely delivered. Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere, and plenty of dishes I'd come back for.

She informed me that each cocktail was specially crafted by the "head bartender" and even let me try some samples. I believe at that time, I tried the Loaded Mashed Potato Balls and they were delicious/unique. This time around, I ordered the chicken Alfredo via DoorDash and had it delivered to my job. I can confidently say that my order was freshly made and was still indeed warm when it arrived. The sauce was nice and creamy and paired well with the fettuccine noodles and diced grilled chicken. The portion of the pasta was satisfying and was enough for me to eat about 4 servings from it. The ambiance of the restaurant is very lowkey and chill but nicely decorated and well lit. I would consider this restaurant and specifically this location a hidden gem.

Jonathan's The Rub - East End…read more I frequent this location almost weekly, so it's safe to say I'm a regular! The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the menu. They're always happy to answer questions or offer recommendations. Happy Hour Happy hour is a HUGE plus! It's offered Monday through Saturday (yes, even Saturday!) from 2-6 PM at the bar. There are several drink options featuring gin, tequila, and vodka, along with wine and beer selections. My personal favorite is the grapefruit sangria. As for the happy hour food, you really can't go wrong! * Chicken Satay: Flavorful and well-seasoned. * Chicken Tenders: Available regular or Buffalo-style. You get two generously sized tenders. * JTR Sliders: Absolutely delicious! * Garlic Knots: Another solid choice. Lunch & Dinner Smash Burger: Hands down, one of my favorite smash burgers! It comes with cheese, pickles, Jonny sauce, and a generous portion of fresh-cut fries. What sets this burger apart is the seasoning and those perfectly crispy edges. The fries are the cherry on top! If you're a burger lover, this is a must-try. Soup de Julio: It was okay, but in my opinion, it could use a little more spice to bring out the flavors. Chicken Alfredo: I ordered mine with blackened chicken, chipotle, and added broccoli. AMAZING! The combination of flavors was delicious, and I would absolutely order it again. Houston & Greek Salads: I've tried both with blackened chicken, and both are great options. However, there are a couple of things worth mentioning. The Greek salad does not come with a traditional Greek dressing, so if you're specifically craving that classic Greek salad flavor, this may not satisfy the craving. The Houston salad, on the other hand, comes with a creamy dressing that has a little kick to it, which I really enjoy. My biggest complaint is the inconsistency between dine-in and takeout salads. When dining in, the salads are served with a sliced chicken breast. However, when ordering takeout, I've repeatedly received chopped chicken pieces that are often dry, hard, and disappointing. They previously served the sliced chicken breast with takeout orders as well, and I wish they would return to that. I generally dislike returning food, so I've kept the salads despite the disappointing chicken. Unfortunately, if this continues, I'll probably have to switch to fried chicken for my takeout salads, even though I'd prefer the healthier grilled option. Dessert Apple Crumble Cheesecake: It was okay, but I think it has the potential to be much better. Adding some cooked or sautéed apples into the cheesecake mixture before baking, or even as a topping, could really elevate the flavor and texture. That said, I would order it again. It pairs nicely with a cup of coffee and a good movie! Overall I'm clearly a serial eater at this location, and there's a reason I keep coming back! The food is consistently good overall, the staff is friendly, and the happy hour is one of the best perks. There are a few areas where I think improvements could be made, particularly with the takeout salads, but my overall experiences have been very positive. Jonathan's The Rub - East End remains one of my go-to spots, and I definitely recommend giving it a try!

The menu is exceptionally well-curated, hitting that sweet spot of what Houston does best. comfort, creativity, and just enough flair to keep things interesting. The space matches the vibe: modern and minimalist with a subtle Chip-and-Joanna-Gaines touch. The drink menu is just as thoughtful. Even the well spirits are solid. We kicked things off with the deviled eggs topped with maple pork belly, easily some of the creamiest I've ever had. Do not split an order. Everyone at the table should get their own. For the entrée, I went with the Sunday enchiladas made with Killen's famous brisket. Smoke, salt, pepper and exactly what you want from a dish like this. It typically comes with Mexican rice and refried beans, but the rice was running behind during my visit, so I swapped in scrambled eggs (it was brunch) no complaints. They were simple buttery, creamy and just damn delicious. peach bread pudding that was downright decadent. Easily one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Make you wanna slap yo momma.

I ended up picking a drink with the recommendation of our waitress and she was spot on. For the three of us, we had split: - Texas Tartare: tenderloin steak, smoked jalapeño, parsley, capers, deviled egg, and toast - Je ne sais quoi oysters - Life is Pici: pici pasta, miso butter, hazelnut crunch, and king trumpet mushrooms - Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: whole chicken with apple & parsley salad, truffle jus, pickles - Olive Oil Cake - Pumpkin Cheesecake with gingersnap crust First of all, THE BEST Olive Oil Cake we've ever had. No joke. We liked it so much, we got 2 slices to go for later. So moist, so soft. Get it. The Pumpkin Cheesecake was good too, but it was completely overshadowed by the olive oil cake. Now, onto the savories. The Texas Tartare was very good. Very well seasoned and I loved how much toast came with it. The oysters were fantastic as well, very fresh and well-shucked. The chicken was so tender, moist, and juicy. Even the white meat was super juicy. Sauces that came with it was very complimentary. Service was great - our waitress was very friendly and helped us pick our meals with her recommendations. I'm back in town next year and I'm seriously going to come back just so I can have that cake.

The fried chicken was well balanced, good brine and a crispy delicate batter. The bread with butter and jam was also quite decent.

I found this to be curious since there seemed to be quite a large number of staff. After several minutes of waiting, an employee finally came over and asked if I was here to pickup a delivery order. I explained to her that I was actually there to have dinner. At which point she appeared embarrassed and brought over a gentleman, who guided me through the dining room to a seat. He assured me that I made a great choice in picking a restaurant and told me, unprompted, that he would bring me a glass of water. I waited for service. And waited. And waited.

Eventually, 20 minutes after I entered the restaurant and 15 minutes after being seated, I went back to the host stand. I asked the host to cancel my order, since I hadn't even gotten a glass of water yet. He asked me where I was seated. I found this to be curious since he was the one who had seated me. This was really too bad. I was quite eager to try Federal American Grill due to the good reviews about food quality. I'm sure that the food is likely good, though the service was quite lacking, at least on the night that I went. On the plus side, the staff seemed to be having a great time chatting with each other while ignoring the guests.
