My friend had been raving about this place. I really wanted to go for her birthday. So she made a reservation for us. One thing I'll keep in mind is that they will not see you until at least three people from your party has arrived. Apparently, my friend had reserved a space in the back car the hideout. I think you could only reserve that area if you do it in advance. It's definitely worth it because it's a nice little chill spot in the back of the restaurant and it feels more intimate. The one downside is that it doesn't have lifted tables so you do feel like as if you're eating over a coffee table of some sort. Our server was Noah and he was phenomenal! I had an idea of what I wanted because I looked at the menu prior to arriving. Although some things had changed from it. I opted for the avocado toast as a lot of the meals felt really heavy. I am glad that I did because it was the perfect amount of food and it was very flavorful. The bacon really made it pop! I still think about it to this day. Now the one thing I will point out that is a bit annoying is that if your party spends over, I want to say $150 (or maybe it was $250) they add a 18% gratuity to your bill. That wasn't the problem that I had. As I knew that from looking at the menu. My problem was that they don't bring you a printed receipt and just bring the terminal without informing you that they are essentially trying to sneak an additional tip on top of the one they have added. So that's just something for those to be mindful of as it is not based on how many people are in the party, but the amount of money that the party spends. Nonetheless I would return especially for their sound lounge event because it sounds really chill and dope.

Service was great. Love a restaurant that greet you upon entry and the waiter immediately come over to greet you. Dave was pleasant and helpful with selecting items. Chicken seasoned well. Funnel cake to hard for my liking. Wouldn't say it was a flop So I guess I'll try again just a different selection of good and drink. Also to note Big Ole Sign at the door says happy hour 12-5 Order a drink he says it don't start until 2:00 Lost me there. I'm heavy on what you advertise should be!!!

This place is buzzing, and I can see why! The food options and interior design both draw people in naturally. The chicken and funnel cakes here is such a fun creation! As someone who has loved chicken and waffles everywhere, I have to admit that the replacement of waffles with funnel cakes at the Honey Hole might've won my heart over. My friend ordered the catfish and grits, and it looked equally satisfying. Walking into the place also feels like going on vacation, and the staff are great! However, it does seem like much of the premium service and experience are built into the higher bill at the end. For reference, chicken and funnel cakes alone is $29. The hearty portion size for the menu options helps make the price tag easier to accept. One other area to be aware of is that the Honey Hole partners with a photographer on weekends and holidays, so you may see someone offering to take professional photos of your table, but those pictures will then require $25 each to keep. I would recommend for the Honey Hole to reevaluate the partnership and perhaps offer digital photos at a lower rate as courtesy to all the guests visiting. Other restaurants such as Benihana offer complimentary digital and print photos for special occasions, so $25 for one photo is truly a bit much. Overall, I would say Honey Hole is still a worthwhile visit, and I'll definitely be stopping by again to satisfy my chicken and funnel cake craving. Pro tip: if you decide to order the catfish and grits, you can request for the catfish to be served separately so that it doesn't get soggy on top of the grits.

Lobster and Lobster & Grits

This place was packed! We waited 30 minutes with a reservation but man, was it worth the wait!! They did not skimp on the alcohol with their drinks! So tasteful but can taste the alcohol. Then the star of the show, was the chicken pasta! Whew! The pasta and chicken was cooked to perfection!! When I say I would take it with me, if I could- I would've!!!! My friends got the lobster and grits and said it was really good. I WILL be back!

Frozen Bellini

I stopped by Honey Hole for brunch and overall had a good experience. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces in the shared shopping center parking lot, which is always a plus in this area. The restaurant has a lively brunch atmosphere with a good crowd and the kind of vibe that's ideal for catching up with friends. Service was a little slow during my visit; my server was nice but she was new and you could tell. I ordered the catfish and grits and that dish was easy 8.5/10. First thing I did was pull the catfish off the grits because I refuse to let good fried fish get soggy. It stayed crispy the entire meal, and the fish was seasoned well. The grits were creamy and not runny like some restaurants serve. I also treated myself to a frozen Bellini. It was good, although a little pricey for the size. Overall, the food was solid, the atmosphere was fun, and I'm not opposed to coming back.

First time visiting. The place is beautiful. Well decorated and spacious. I ordered the potato, cheese and egg breakfast tacos and a raspberry crown. The cocktail was so good but I did pace myself because it was a little toasty in our corner we sat in. Didn't notice the fans in the corners until leaving. The breakfast tacos were good but not together; it's like something is missing like a sauce or salsa. Was very messy because the cheese wasn't melted so nothing held the taco together. The star of the visit was our waitress. I for the life of me can't remember her name (so sorry) but she was such a vibe. Positive attitude, attentive, just all around great customer service. She even brought me a little side table for my purse and I thought it was so cute and thoughtful. Even tho I didn't like my food so much I would come back just for her to be my waitress again.

Stuffed Honey Crunch French Toast
Sophia S.

I've been here several times now, and my general consensus is that the food is good but can feel overpriced depending on what you order. It can also get pretty loud, especially when there's a DJ during brunch. Service is hit or miss, but my most recent experience was really positive. Our server was super friendly and helpful. Stuffed French Toast: 9/10 I only had a few bites, but I really enjoyed it. The cinnamon flavor was on point, and the consistency was perfect, fluffy without being soggy. The only reason it's not a 10 is because I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate. Catfish and Grits: 9/10 The crawfish étouffée sauce is really delicious, but without it the dish would be pretty bland. That said, the catfish itself is filling and very crispy. It's not the best I've had in Houston, but it's definitely tasty. Drinks: 10/10 The Peach Bellini is super fresh and absolutely delicious. I could drink an infinite amount of these. It is definitely on the sweeter side if that's not your thing. The blueberry margarita is also really good. This is 100% a girly brunch drink spot, so expect to leave feeling it. When the DJ is playing, the music is loud af, and with how packed it gets, it can be hard to hear the people next to you. If you can, I recommend asking to be seated in the back or a quieter room. Overall, I would come back for select dishes and definitely for the drinks

I came here with my brunch ladies to celebrate a birthday. We made reservations online, but there wasn't a wait when we arrived. I wasn't too sure about this place based on the reviews, but this has been in our list. The crowds started rolling in around 10:30-11ish. The atmosphere was chic. I was a little skeptical about the chairs since I'm a thicker person, but they were actually very comfortable and I didn't have any issues. Our waiter was amazing. I wish I remembered his name. The mimosas were stronger than I expected, 2 had me feeling nice. I ordered the Cajun Breakfast Bowl, which had a nice little kick. The eggs were cooked over medium, and if you like a runny yolk, that's definitely the way to go. The etouffee was perfect and really helped soak up the golden potatoes. My girls ordered the Hivewhich and the Pork Chop & Eggs. I wish I had snapped a picture. The pork chop was a pretty big portion and also had a kick. Overall, we had a great experience and I'd definitely return.

Funnel fries!
Annalisa P.

I read the negative reviews prior to coming which made me nervous to try, but I went anyway. A former coordinator/friend I worked with suggested this place for brunch, so I made a reservation for noon on a Saturday. The location is near the galleria by where the second Gallery Furniture used to be. There's a large, open parking lot that gets packed. Walking in, there's a hostess stand around the corner to the left. We were seated at a small table for two near the bar. There were a lot of people dining at the bar and the main dining area. I always look at the menu before coming, so I knew what I wanted to order. Some of the appetizers aren't available on the weekends, and it's noted on the menu. The bad part is that the cocktails are labeled as mocktails, which none of them are or can be made into one. I accidentally ordered a gin cocktail, but I switched it out with a pineapple mocktail which was basically pineapple and club soda. They do have a variety of fruit flavors, but that's the gist of their mocktails. I really wanted coffee, but their espresso machine was broken that day. My friend and I shared the funnel cake fries which took a while but was served hot and fresh with a side of glazed dipping sauce. It was a larger portion than I expected and was so good, but I restrained myself because I ordered the honey crunch French toast croissant. I really enjoyed the croissant version of French toast. I'm more of a pancakes and waffles girl, but this was one of the best French toasts I've had. It was a cross between Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Special K cereal with the clusters. The house made whip helped cut the sweetness of the honey. We shared the salmon tacos, which I normally don't gravitate towards fish, but I liked it. The flavor was good with the mardi gras slaw and honey chipotle aioli. The flour tortillas were too thick though. It would've been nice to have an option for corn tortillas. Overall, I thought this place was ok. I liked what I ordered. There's not much variety in drink options, the food takes a while to come out, it's kind of overpriced, and it's really loud inside. I had to yell talk to talk to my friend sitting across from me. Expect to come dressed to the nines here. The atmosphere/clientele reminds me of FRNDS in Rice Village but more open with sunlight. I was worried about reviews regarding the billing, but they didn't charge us the 18% that's meant for tickets $125 or more. Others experienced being billed gratuity under this amount. At your own risk when you dine here, I guess! They do charge a fee for using a credit card. I saw 1.95% on our bill which wasn't much, but the restaurant could cover those fees. Would I come back? Maybe if friends want to go. They do have some unique menu items.

We stopped in for Sunday brunch and, even though it was fairly busy, we were seated right away without a reservation. The restaurant was pretty noisy, so just something to keep in mind if you're looking for a quieter brunch spot. The food was average overall, but the drink menu was definitely a highlight. They had a lot of fun and creative coffee and matcha options that were a little more interesting than your typical brunch drinks. If you're someone who loves flavored lattes, specialty coffees, or matcha, there were plenty of options to choose from. I'd probably come back more for the drinks and atmosphere than the food, but it was still a cute spot for Sunday brunch.

Coffee

Stopped by the Honey Hole for a little brunch while celebrating my birthday! The ambiance is pleasant; the tables are small. Our server was pleasant and helped us make selections. We started with funnel cake fries because why not, It's funnel cake! It came with a dipping sauce, more like a glaze! I recommend this one. Oh yeah, the coffee was quite good too. For my meal, I had the lobster and grits. The lobster was lightly fried. This dish came with three shrimp. And "the grits" were pretty good, Creamy and tasty, just savory enough! Overall it was a pleasant experience and I recommend a visit.

Salmon Tacos
Kyere' W.

Last month, we visited The Honey Hole based on a recommendation and CiCi gave us such great service, we returned again with a larger family group to share with them. Loved everything we tried, especially the Catfish & Grits. The salmon tacos coulda used a nice sauce or something, otherwise they were Ok. Drinks, Service and Cleanliness was 9.5/10. A new HTX fave, clearly, still thinking about it a month later!

Stuffed French toast
Queen O.

Stopped by for brunch and I got the stuffed French toast, which was delicious and plated very nicely. I also got a side of potatoes, which were very underwhelming and not worth the $6 at all. We also got mimosas and to our surprise they give you some kind of flavored syrup to mix your champagne with instead of standard juice. I was not a fan of that because you couldn't taste the flavor at all. It pretty much just colored the drink and that was it. The service overall was just okay, nothing to rave about. I love checking out bathrooms in restaurants, and this one was in disgusting condition. A lot of the stalls weren't flushed, toilet paper on the floor, and puddles of water all on the sink counter. They definitely need to have someone checking in on the restrooms periodically because that was unacceptable. Overall this was a one and done for me, won't be back.

An added bonus was the complimentary chicharrones! I'll take those over tortilla chips any day! The dining room isn't very big, but it's clean and has good a/c....there's an outdoor patio as well.

It's tucked off in Houston Texas somewhere I'm here for work. I decide to go to a friendly bar, which I thought it was I went there and dined there I paid for my food I tipped and then on my way home. I was like that was a cool place. Let me go back so I went back to order the same drink that I ordered, but then insert the manager his name is Michael I think but I'm gonna put the address here and the phone number please don't patronize these people until you know that they've done right by other people. I didn't even get a chance to taste the food before they were trying to call the police on me. I'm 115 pound 5 foot black girl I was by myself and then he turned the customers against me because one customer was like, yeah get the fuck out like he said.

I am at a conference and let all the patrons that were about to meet me there what happened. Management please do better. I called you guys, no answer and the run around about the manager's name at this location. Very rude and called the cops!! Please save your money. It's so many restaurants around don't go here unless they change the management. I still would be sus tho. They are tucked in the back so word of mouth is really all they got. As a GM of an establishment myself, this was totally uncalled for. An $8 that I would have gladly payed for because I had just come in there hours before with no issues.

Alert: Cash Only…read more I've passed this taco truck countless times and almost always seen a line stretching from the window. There's even a security guard on site, which only adds to the impression that this place is fire. So when I happened to drive by on a 100-degree afternoon and found no line, I took it as a sign to finally give it a try. The small parking lot adjacent to the truck was nearly empty, except for a few other patrons who probably had the same idea. Ordering was simple and to the point. The menu keeps things straightforward: a selection of meats served as tacos or plates with a handful of sides. I ordered two barbacoa tacos with salsa verde. Less than two minutes after placing my order, they were in my hands. Fast service on a scorching day is always appreciated. With no seating available, I retreated to the comfort of my car to eat. Based on the amount of grease packed into these tacos, I would recommend doing the same. Eating them while standing could end with your shirt becoming an unintended side dish. One thing to note: don't count on a generous napkin supply. I realized after returning to my car that none were included. Consider keeping a few emergency fast-food napkins in your glove compartment. Those leftover Taco Bell napkins may finally fulfill their destiny. The barbacoa was flavorful, the salsa verde complemented it well, and overall, the tacos were overall tasty. That said, I left somewhat underwhelmed considering the crowds I routinely see gathered here during lunch and dinner hours. Perhaps I'm missing the standout item that keeps customers lining up daily. Even so, if you happen to have cash in your pocket and find yourself craving authentic tacos, this truck is certainly worth a stop.

I don't like cinnamon but the horchata was addicting and it paired so well with the food. My friend got their Melon Agua Fresca and he said it was really refreshing as well. The gorditas were stuffed and they were so delicious, the cheese was melting and the bread was warm and not dry. The Quesadillas were my favorite.

The prices are so cheap and you get so much food. Everything is around $3 and it will fill you up. Each of us totaled out to be about $10-15 per person and we were stuffed. I would definitely come back here over and over again! My friend said the only bad thing about this place is when you order to go, they won't give you a lot (no lime, no hot sauces, less meat, etc.) so definitely get dine-in.
