    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.

    Stuffed Honey Crunch French Toast

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great experience! Clean place, great music selection, friendly service, and a nice variety of food options. Lots of different choices to pick from. I'll definitely be back.

    Chicken wing
    Shaina F.

    Such a beautiful restaurant. Great color scheme and good natural lighting. I have been here on multiple occasions and it has its ups and downs. I usually stick to the same menu item so I will say that I have never had an issue with the chicken fried chicken and grits. It's full of flavor always comes out hot and fresh and gravy is delicious. Grits are hands down some of the best in HTX. My last experience I had here my friend ordered the Cajun breakfast bowl which he stated was delicious. He felt he had a good balance in the entree. My sister however had a different experience. She ordered the honey lemon pepper wings. Although she liked the flavor the size of the wings were tiny. She has ordered them before and wasn't disappointed. Idk if they have changed food vendors but the wings were so small they barely had any meat on them. They were literally half the size of her pinky.

    I had seen The Honey Hole pop up several times on my social media timelines, so when my friends and I were deciding on a spot for New Year's brunch, we decided to give it a try. Making a reservation was easy, and even though we arrived a little later than planned, we were still seated, which I appreciated. One thing to note, though: the reservation booking site doesn't clarify that selecting the Lounge area means you'll be seated on low couches. Once the hostess explained this, I asked if we could move to the dining room, and she kindly accommodated us--even though the restaurant was pretty busy at the time. Because it was the holiday, we anticipated potential delays in service. Unfortunately, our waitress didn't help ease that experience. She seemed disengaged, was short with us throughout the visit, and rarely checked on us while we waited between receiving our drinks and food. The food itself was pretty good, and the portion sizes were solid. That said, I do agree with others who feel it can be a bit overpriced depending on the dish. We ordered a mimosa carafe, which came with the champagne bottle and juice on the side--something we prefer and enjoyed. However, my boyfriend and I also ordered Sprites, and when they arrived, they were warm with only a few melted ice cubes, which felt like an attempt to cool them down rather than serve them cold. It seemed like the lounge area had a DJ or music playing, and while we could hear it faintly from the dining room, it wasn't distracting. I might consider coming back to check out the lounge during a happy hour, but I'm in no rush to return. Overall, I'm glad I finally went and experienced it for myself after having it on my list for a while.

    Scrambled eggs with cheese
    Lisa E.

    I recommend making a reservation when going here especially if it's the weekend. They get packed! This place is very very tasty. The restaurant itself has a beautiful aesthetic; but the two young ladies at the front were not personable at all. Our waiter was doing his best but he was all over the place- I won't fault him cause he was sweet. The food was excellent and so was the drinks. We got the fish and grits and it was sooo good!! Overall a good experience! I passed by the kitchen and was elated to see black men in the kitchen. Always a plus.

    I can't believe this place has a 3.6 overall rating. We loved everything about this place! It's in the Galleria area close to Post Oak but parking is readily available in a very large lot. We placed a reservation and were promptly greeted upon check in. The restaurant is lively, bright and airy. Popped by the restroom and found them to be in immaculate condition. Our server was wonderful. She was prompt, attentive, and gave us great recommendations! We ordered a carafe of mimosas (blood orange and pineapple juice combo). If you plan to have more than a couple of glasses, the carafe is the way to go. Now onto the main event, the food. Mom had funnel cake with wings, my husband had funnel cake with 2 wings and catfish and I had the breakfast bowl. Every entree was phenomenal! Beautiful presentation and when I tell you the food was seasoned to the nines absolutely delicious. As you would expect the funnel cake was nice and crispy and sweet which really balanced out the savoriness of the wings. The catfish was perfectly fried. The breakfast bowl was out of sight! Crispy potatoes covered with crawfish etouffee and chorizo sausage. I had my eggs scrambled but it comes with an over medium. We love this place so much we ate here twice during our stay. Houston we will be visiting The Honey Hole when we return!

    Seated quickly and serviced quickly. We did make a reservation. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. He provided us with good recommendations. It was pretty busy but it wasn't loud. The music was good.

    $$

    Allow me to be Review No. 1,100 following my visit to this wonderful culinary gem yesterday…read more By default, Spring Branch is Houston's Koreatown, but it's not unusual to find establishments with Spanish-language branding on them throughout the neighborhood. And Tacos Doña Lena, on which I'll heap tons of praise on, is among them. A group of friends and I had supper here before a live show down the street at Eighteen Ten Ojeman. Upon seeing the storefront when we pulled into the parking lot, my first thought was, "Okay, this is legit Mexican, not Tex-Mex." The interior is quite small with some tables and an ample late Saturday afternoon crowd. What caught my eye is how the environment is what you might expect to find at a family-run taqueria off the beaten path. Rock en Español blaring from the sound system. Colorful papel picado draped from the ceiling. A framed Mexican flag and several references to the central Mexican municipality of Guanajuato. The intoxicating smell of spice-laced grilled beef wafting through the air. Simply put, we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. I glanced at the menu. There are numerous, delicious-sounding items that happen to be wallet-friendly, a bit cheaper than if you were to go to Gringos or Jimmy Changas. According to a mutual, the tacos here are the main draw, but what really caught my attention and appetite was the ramen birria. Mujeres y caballeros (ladies and gentlemen), let me proclaim that Tacos Doña Lena turns a noodle dish with origins in Japan and is a known staple in college dorm rooms into a must-try on this part of America's fourth-largest city. Two amazing food cultures unite for a fiery meeting of the minds. Anchored by a rich, tasty consomé that's spicy but not enough to where you need to drink multiple glasses of water, there's a prime mix of ramen noodle, beef birria, cheese, fried egg, rabanos, garbazo, and corn accompanied by cilantro, onions, and a pair of fried tostadas. I was so impressed with how the contents of the ramen blended together. Since it was ramen after all despite the south of the border touchup, I still ate it the traditional way: pick up the noodles and sip the soup. There was so much that I had no choice but to put it in a takeout container. Sure, Spring Branch may be home to some great traditional Korean restaurants, but don't sleep on Tacos Doña Lena.

The lines are almost always long no matter the time of day, but they move quickly, so the wait isn't bad. I usually grab a pink lemonade as well, which hits every time. Out of all the locations, El Taconazo is definitely the one to go to, hands down some of the best tacos you'll find on Fulton St.

We ordered: Horchata (small for $3.49), Quesadillas with beef, Quesadillas with chicharron, Gorditas with beef, and Gorditas with chicharron. 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. You put both the red sauce and the green sauce on it, a lot of lime juice, and it's perfect. I forgot to order cilantro on mine but they do give you it at no extra cost.

There's a parking lot, but we went on the weekend, and while the interior didn't look overly full, it was somewhat difficult to find a parking spot. The restaurant itself is clean. Everything is pretty much green and white. There's covered patio seating. You order from a window and there's a large menu printed nearby The menu offers all sorts of tacos, meats, burritos, bowls, quesadillas, quesabirras, sides, and even kids meals. You can get beer, margaritas, and non-alcoholic drinks. There's also a breakfast menu The food was good, and it didn't take too long to come out. My main issue was the service. The individual taking orders seemed to have a bit of an attitude and just seemed "over it." Furthermore, we mentioned having a queso coupon and when we were given the total I placed my card on the reader and I was told that I did it too fast and the queso wasn't taken off. The odd thing was, we walked away and realized that they didn't add the queso and the coupon was for free queso so they could have just rung up an additional queso. This individual had the vibe of eye rolling everything, and it honestly left a bad taste in my mouth Some tips: You can order online to avoid any wait. Just go up to the pick-up window when it's supposed to be ready for a painless interaction There's a little bar area where you can get pre-packaged (to-go) salsas, pickled onions, limes, etc etc etc. the salsas are tomatillo, habanero, and jalapeño (I believe) You can order margaritas to go, which we did! Cheers!!
