    Tunna salad sandwich with Greek pasta.
    Sarah M.

    My only regret about this place that I had not been here sooner. From the minute you walk in you know that it's going to be good. The white tablecloths and the chandeliers bring a peaceful feeling you walk in a little bit and then see a beautiful dessert cabinet with homemade desserts. I had never been here before, and the server was very patient and kind to me and helped me pick out my food. Which was very nice not to be rushed. I had the tuna salad sandwich with salad . Everything about this meal was fresh and delicious. I couldn't believe how fresh the spinach was. It looked like they had just picked it out of the garden. My husband had a CLUB sandwich, and I had a little bite of it, which was perfectly put together. Before we left, we were greeted by the owner, who is a warm and bubbly soul, and you can tell that she puts pride into her restaurant. I can't wait to come back looking forward to trying the rest of the menu .

    This is my and my parent's favorite tea house and stop for lunch. Everything we have tried is so delicious and fresh and Dad just loves the mushroom soup it's his favorite. We are on a mission to eat our way thru every dessert. There are so many we can't pick a favorite yet so I guess we will just have to eat them all. We absolutely love the service all of the servers are just so sweet and the owner she's just the best and the ambience is just the cutest.

    The whistle stop is amazing! The chicken salad sandwich is the best on the menu. The service is great and never disappoints. It's a nice restaurant but can be a tad loud inside. Love the food though will be back!

    Lived in Tomball for over 10 years and never been here. Now I'm sad of all the deliciousness that I have missed. This place was delicious and ambience was very cute. Great mother-daughter place but portions are definitely not dainty. Homemade bread makes the sandwiches heavenly. Don't wait as long as I did and check this place out!!! Save room for dessert

    Croissant club Cheddar Broccoli soup Mixed fruit (banana,strawberries, watermelon & grapes,very fresh!) Arnold -Palmer Missing-Coconut Pie

    Such a great spot...popped in for a late lunch, 1pm'ish...they were hopping but with most tables sat and a few larger parties but I was greeted right away by the owner (Cindy) and sat very quickly at a table by the window (which I appreciated). Reviewed the menu asked some questions / suggestions and food was brought out as ordered...croissant club, cheddar broccoli soup, chips and a side of mixed fruit...simple BUT GrEAT FOOD DONE VERY WELL!! Cindy stopped by to check in and we had a nice chat...30 yrs and going strong, you can tell she loves it and has no intentions of stopping. Ordered an order of coconut pie to go with tonight's dinner(review to follow ) Will definitely be back with my daughter...she will love it!! Thank you for a great lunch and see you soon!

    What a delight this place is! My mom and I have come here for years for some quality time/lunch date and we enjoy it a lot! My mom doesn't like American food that much but she enjoys this place. The ambiance is so cute - tea time vibes! The half sandwich half soup combo is a great deal with yummy food! I get the pimiento cheese on a croissant, while my mom the chicken salad. We both enjoy it a lot. We had it with a broccoli cheddar and pasta salad - everything is good!

    I remember having a fairly good opinion of this bellagreen location in the past (before I had a…read moreYelp account), but my recent visit left a very unappealing impression. The self-service fountain drink area smelled strongly of mildew or old sponges, and the counter was very sticky and wet. I understand a mess during a lunch rush, but the lingering odor was a big turn off. I ordered a White Chicken Parm, and the chicken was unpleasantly rubbery in some areas- I regretfully had to spit out a piece, which I genuinely try not to do out of respect. Pasta was also too salty for my taste. The menu description also lists broccolini, but the reality was more of regular broccoli that was also soft to the point of being slightly mushy. I'm hoping the best for this restaurant, and also hope that this may have been an off day since there are recent good reviews; but in the meantime, I'll be exploring other Vintage Park options for lunch. - Ambiance: 2/5 - Food: 2/5 - Service: 4/5

The menu was not very big so it made me think that they would be really good at what they made. That logic proved right. I started with an appetizer of humus and my son ordered the cheese pizza. At first, I wasn't impressed with his pizza based on looks -- then I tasted it. The pizza was really good. The humus was also really solid. For my main, I ordered a burger. I think I was so hungry that I forgot to snap a pic of it. Regardless, it also was a really good burger. The restaurant is an order from the counter concept and then take a seat. You're on the hook for your refills / condiments / dinnerware. I like that. Only drawback is the parking situation. The front lot is pretty small and there were no spaces. Otherwise, I really like the place! Thank you to the Yelpers who went before me and left the good reviews and enticing pictures.

It's sliced just right so that it's easy to chew, tasted like a steak, and it was indeed a healthy meal. I enjoyed everything about the sandwich, even got a few bites of some apples when eating the 2nd half of the sandwich which was a nice surprise/addition. Here, unlike another healthy fast casual place in town, I did like the available tea selection. I also ordered a cookie for dessert and it turned to be really tasty as well.

I read they are known for their olive oil lemon cake, if there is such as things as a healthy dessert. I was very impressed with the meal and it seemed to be a pretty healthy choice at such a good price point. The steak was real slices of lean steak that actually tastes like a steak and not rubber. Fruit cup was very fresh and way better than any I've had at other restaurants lately. I wasn't a big fan of their teas, but they're gonna take some getting used to. The olive oil cake was tasty just a little smaller than I had imagined.

On top of that the customer service was top tier. The staff was friendly welcoming and attentive which made the experience even better. I ordered the Houston Street Tacos and they were amazing. Two large organic tacos filled with jackfruit and quinoa that were perfectly seasoned and very satisfying. They were topped with avocado tomato marinated cabbage and a house turmeric queso that brought everything together so well. The side of kreamy kale sauce was a standout too and I found myself dipping every bite into it. To drink I had the Organic Mango Hibiskus Lemonade made with house brewed hibiscus and pure organic mango. It was refreshing not too sweet and tasted incredibly fresh easily one of the best lemonades I have had. My friend ordered the Orange Buffalo Tahini Cauliflower and it was packed with flavor. The cauliflower was roasted just right tossed in a bold orange buffalo sauce drizzled with tahini and topped with roasted cashews and sesame seeds over seasoned jasmine rice. She also had the Catalina Rolls which were crispy hearty and filled with fresh cabbage herbs and house taco meat and they were so good. She also tried the Heal All of the Rainforest Pau D'Arco Latte which was warm earthy and comforting. It is made with Peruvian Pau D'Arco heirloom cacao ashwagandha catuaba bark cinnamon maple syrup and almond milk and it truly felt like wellness in a cup. Everything we tried was flavorful filling and never felt heavy. Whether you are vegan plant based or just love good food Callie's Kitchen is absolutely worth a visit. I will definitely be back.
