I love the ambiance of this restaurant! Such a warm and inviting place with nice restrooms. When a restaurant has a good bathroom, it says a lot about the establishment. My Migas were phenomenal. The pork almost melted into the eggs. The French fries with my husband's Cuban sandwich were delicious and the chipotle aioli was great. We also got the crab cakes, which we enjoyed and the bread, which I would have preferred to not be toasted. They do not accept reservations for breakfast, so we arrived right when they opened and I am glad we did because the place quickly filled up on a Sunday morning. My mo would have enjoyed this spot. Great indoor seating and a beautiful courtyard area. read more

After going to the 'wrong' location of Milk & Cookies next door, I wanted to return here for my last lunch before leaving town due to the pleasant staff and similar menu to Tiny Boxwoods since they're in the same family. Taking a seat at the bar, a bartender/server was attentive right away. I didn't see the risotto I had the previous day at the other restaurant, but they had the summer salad I was looking to try, in addition to some of their house fries. For some reason, I thought the salad had grapes (it did not) so I guess I was trying to make this into a Waldorf-style in my head, but I still enjoyed what I had. There weren't as many julienned apples in my dish as I have seen in photos, so I made sure I consumed all the ones I came across. Candied nuts-pecans in this case-make everything taste better. Fries with ketchup and a chipotle aioli were also enjoyable, and I could not finish the portion. Bar filled up while I was there, and the smaller dining room off the side was packed. It took some time to grab the attention of the staff, but once I did, I added five cookies to go for the flight crew. Parking lot is a little oddly shaped but I'm just grateful they have a (free) lot, and spots were available on both my visits. All the places under the Tiny Boxwood umbrella I tried were enjoyable, and I look forward to trying more dishes on a future visit! read more

Farm to table style restaurant with beautiful seating outside - vibes are vibing once again especially during this beautiful weather season. Ordered a variety of food - would say menu is pretty limited to salad sandwich burgers etc. the appetizers are very solid - including crab cake and burrata! the salmon was amazing - however would recommend with a salad. The grain and things was seasoned weird and was too heavy for my liking. I enjoyed the grapefruit juice reportedly was fresh juice! Would appreciate if their food menu has more options Service friendly attentive nice people! read more

Stopped by Tiny's No. 5 yesterday for a later Saturday brunch. The place was packed, so our wait was about 50 minutes--but that's to be expected on a busy weekend. I ordered the Mother's Breakfast with scrambled eggs and sausage, a cinnamon roll, and the Lucky Burger. My absolute favorite part of the meal? The biscuits with honey butter and strawberry jam that came with the Mother's Breakfast. The biscuits were perfectly fluffy, and the honey butter + strawberry jam combo was honestly to die for--I'd go back just for those. The cinnamon roll, unfortunately, was a bit of a letdown. It came out room temperature and the icing wasn't melted at all, which made it feel pretty "mid," especially knowing their pastry shop is attached. The Lucky Burger was solid, and the highlight was definitely the Lucky Sauce--that really made the burger. Overall, the restaurant has a cozy, inviting vibe. It was super crowded, but the aesthetic makes it a fun spot for brunch. I'd definitely come back for the biscuits and maybe try some other pastries next time. read more

We love the location of Tiny's No 5 in the heart of the West U neighborhood! We've been visiting the location for years for their bakery and had never actually eaten at the restaurant until yesterday for lunch. It's a very nicely decorated and laid out restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating options, and the staff was attentive throughout our visit. We thought everything we ordered was good, but if we were to return we agreed the only item we'd likely reorder is the burrata. Although the presentation made it a bit tricky to eat, we figured it out and really liked the flavor combination with the burrata, marinated tomato, olive tamponade, pesto and balsamic. My husband got the Bee Keeper cocktail and said it was refreshing, but much more suitable for spring/summer than winter. For his entree, he got the Lucky Burger and said he liked it but wasn't wild about the sauce that came on it, wishing that had come on the side instead. I ordered the Cubano with a side salad and thought it was tasty, especially with the homemade spicy mustard. The sourdough was tender and slightly crispy due to being buttered and pan fried. We ended by getting cookies to go since we were full from our meals! We always enjoy their cookies as a straight forward, basic chocolate chip. Given the service, ambiance and quite decent food we wouldn't count out a return visit, but we did feel like the prices were a bit steep, especially at lunch time, paying over $100 with tip for what is listed above. read more

I love this for a good outdoor experience. Great little neighborhood restaurant that is quiet. They do get busy at times.. but always has a relaxing feel. The food is so so good. My favorite has to be the sweet potato fries but also really really love the turkey club. Great dog friendly patio, I try to bring my dog Oliver when I can. I've sat inside at the bar as well - very clean and good service. Just a perfect little West U gem! read more

First time here having dinner, we loved it. We came here for a birthday party of 18 people and our waiter did absolutely amazing, and they found a table to fit all of us which was awesome! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, Everything we got was really enjoyed! They have an extensive wine and cocktail list. Lots of good red wine choices. We got the braised short rib and the T5 Burger both so freaking good and full of flavor. We definitely will be back for date night. read more

it is a nice modern feel inside and i felt high quality food. We had some sourdough bread to start and each had a cocktail from the menu you see in the picture. they loose the 5th star since said cocktails arrived after the mains arrived despite being ordered right when we sat down. I guess understaffed, but still.... Other mains ordered were teh lucky burger, some sort of pasta boulanaise, a chicken romesco. All good stuff but lots of flavor, spices etc. not for those used to eating more plain food. Did not see the wine list as , i mentioned, the cocktails came after the mains had arrived so not really time to order wine. read more

Anytime I come to Houston I make it a habit to hit up one of these locations for brunch. As usual I always have a pleasant experience. Rania was our waiter and she was great along with the rest of the staff. Everyone was accommodating and Rania made sure we were takin care of and everything was to our liking. The menu seemed to have changed a bit unless it's just this location, but I got the burger and sweet potato fries and delish! Of course I had to order a few cookies to go and a couple to eat on the spot. read more

I just came for their cookies and ice cream and it was really good!

I love the Tiny's restaurants. I have come here and to Tiny Boxwoods many times for coffee, brunch, and lunch/dinner. They have hosted private events for my family. I love the rustic farmhouse, outdoor garden ambiance. It's the best place for outdoor dining when the weather is nice. I wouldn't order brunch food unless you want to leave hungry and unsatisfied, but the lunch and dinner food is generously apportioned and tasty. This time we ordered the cubano sandwich (the sandwich and the sweet potato fries were terrific) and the turkey burger (was more of a miss, because the patty was sour from all the cheese in it, but the soup was good). Unpopular opinion - their cookies are overrated. read more

We enjoyed our meal overall, but the ending really put a damper on the experience. A few minutes after 6:30 PM, the hostess came over and told us the table was reserved for 6:30 PM and that we needed to start wrapping up and head out now, which caught us off guard since no one mentioned a time limit when we were seated. Our waitress was very kind and apologetic afterward, which we appreciated, but there was no acknowledgment or apology from management before we left. I completely understand reservations and table timing, but a heads-up at the beginning would have gone a long way and avoided the awkward rush at the end. In situations like a celebration or special occasion, this would be especially disappointing. Clearer communication would definitely improve the experience. read more

Firstly, the restaurant is extremely cute and is perfect for a night to dress up and dine! Secondly, all of the food was amazing. Everything was brought out in a timely manner and it tasted delicious. Here are food ratings of everything we ordered : 4/5 Meat & Cheese Board - The mustard cream was extremely tasty. 5/5 Crispy Brussels Sprouts - Whatever that sauce was on the side PLEASE give me more it was so good I started to take my fork and eat the sauce from the bowl. 4/5 Hamachi Crudo - Very refreshing! 5/5 Pesto & Mozzarella Pizza - I was a bigger fan of this pizza, reminded me of a Margherita pizza but the touch of pesto added that perfect slight nuttiness! 3/5 Fig & Prosciutto Pizza - It had an interesting flavor profile but I'd say it's worth trying. 4.5/5 A la mode - Personally the cookie was baked a little longer to my liking, but if you like a more solid cookie then I would highly recommend this. Lastly, I would like to thank Christie for such an amazing experience! She even gave the dessert menu a seat next to me so I could get a full look :) read more

I was really disappointed in my recent experience at Tiny's. I love coming here for brunch. This was my first time coming with my baby. I just want to preface this by saying RANIA WAS AMAZING. She was our waitress and she's the reason the experience got so much better. But the host that took us to our table is the one that ruined our experience. She was so rude and cold. She took us to our table which was a small round table between 2 other tables filled with people. She saw us struggling trying to figure out where we would put our baby carrier (clearly no where there was no room). She just stood there, rolled her eyes and waited for us to figure it out. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. We finally asked her to go to the host stand and let us know if there were any other open tables. It was so hot outside but we didn't even mind sitting outside. She rudely replied "well you can come up with me to the host stand" idk how we could have? I was stuck in the booth and my husband had the baby carrier. She finally came back and told us there was a table available outside. She took us, threw the menus on the table and left. It was the most horrible encounter I have ever dealt with at Tiny's. I wanted to leave by my husband told me it wasn't worth it. Our waitress Rania came and was so kind, got us our orders in and realized it was too hot for the baby and got us a table inside. She was an angel. The host was the white brunette who works in the front. Idk her name I was too pissed to ask for it. Another thing- if you see 2 people with baby carrier and take them to a small small table wouldn't you want to use your common sense and have any type of courtesy to be like hey let me help you guys out? She just stood there and looked at us like we were idiots. Idk going to Tiny's for brunch might not be our thing anymore. read more

Overall, had a good experience. This place is beautifully aesthetic. It's a great place to bring your girlfriends for a cute brunch spot! Our server was phenomenal and so sweet. She provided great service and gave us everything we requested. I went with my girlfriends and they said the turkey club was good, but the turkey burger was okay. I got the migas and I thought it was very very tasty. I definitely recommend this place! read more

This place is so beautiful inside! Right off the bat, the host team is extremely welcoming. The menu for breakfast is a bit limited, but still offers the more popular breakfast/brunch dishes. Our service experience with our waiter was extremely minimal, even with our orange juice arriving after our meal, but still showed good hospitality service so it didn't take away from the dining experience. Plates were filling and the jam & biscuit combo was so good! The sausage patty was very dry. I recommend the bacon instead. Parking lot is a fair amount. Fun fact: Tiny's Cookies is just around the corner walking distance! read more

My experience at this place was terrible. Unfortunately, the treatment was extremely disrespectful, especially from the management. I was asked to leave the table I was sitting at for no clear reason, which was very rude and unprofessional. The manager I spoke with didn't even listen or try to understand -- she was just talking over me the whole time. Honestly, this is one of the worst places I've ever been to and one of the worst experiences I've had. I definitely don't recommend it. read more

We were so impressed with our dinner here. The atmosphere and service were outstanding and the food was incredible. We got pizza and some appetizers and loved all of it.

Service is AWFUL!!! Wait service attitudes stink. The Tiny Boxwoods on Alabama is much better.

Delicious food, pleasant and fresh ambience. What's not to love? Perfect place to dash into for lunch solo or enjoy with a friend.

Pretty good neighborhood spot. Nice grassy area for kids. Ordered the migas, avocado toast , and sweet potato fries. Everything gave basic millennial Americana in a good way. The sweet potato fries were crunchy, the migas had a bit of a kick to them but barely ( I don't eat spicy things so keep that in mind). Avocado toast was well seasoned. The bread was a bit thicc but it probably helped it not become too soggy. Service around 12:00 became a bit slow as the the lunch crowd came but our waiter was pretty nice. This isn't a place where you come to impress someone and not every place has to. It is solid brunch fair. read more

It was my first time at Tiny's so it was a good thing my friend was already there and she saw me looking lost it's tucked away at the end but such a wonderful place! We didn't get a table because the place was packed for lunch. We ended up sitting at the bar which was great because we met Ruby. She waited on us and she was just fabulous from start to finish. Great personality, wonderful knowledge of products and menu, and she made great suggestions and accommodated us well. I only have a photo of my drink because I devoured my avocado toast with an extra crispy side of bacon and no black pepper. My friend loved her pancakes and bacon and enjoyed my drink so much that she ordered one too with a splash of ginger beer This is definitely a great place to dine at and catch up with friends read more

We came here for an early dinner on a Saturday (around 5:15pm) as it was lovely patio weather. Many others thought so as well, but we were able to snag a table regardless. They have an interesting menu in that many of the dinner options were heavier/bigger than we were looking for (but they sound delicious) so we opted to share a pizza and the shishito peppers. The pizza crust was just about perfect; nice char while still having a pleasant softness and droop for foldability. The peppers were also nice, albeit gigantic when it comes to generally small and poppable shishitos - a pleasant surprise! Service was very friendly. Make sure to stop by their cookie/dessert walk-up window around the corner for a sweet treat before you leave! read more

Tinys No 5 is a beautiful, sophisticated space that was jam packed on the Saturday morning I went. The menu is not very big and leans towards savory items than sweet. I got the pancakes and bacon. The pancakes were golden, fluffy, light, and gently sweet. However, the little container of syrup was 1/3 full, which felt a little cheap. There was a ton of butter and 2 spoonfuls of jam. The ratio of toppings served felt, but maybe that's just me. The server was friendly and brought more syrup when I asked for it. Bacon was well done and was on the crispier side. Tried some of my friends' dishes and they were both over salted. Prices are slightly expensive for the quality of the food, in my opinion. Service time was reasonable and everything was beautifully plated. Overall a cute place to have brunch, though quality of food is pretty average. read more

Our waitress was attentive and came back to check on us several times. Definitely recommend giving this place a try. read more

The food always hits, but the service fell short of the amazing typical Tiny's experience. Demi our server was really friendly, but we got far better service from other wait staff bringing the drinks and food than we did from her. She forgot to bring our water to our table, and we got our food far before we were ever given water. The matcha latte I ordered was great, and so was the honey lavender flat white my dad ordered. The hot chocolate looked like it was made from a packet. My friend ordered the dirty matcha chai but she stated the waitress didn't ask her to sweeten it and would've tasted better if it had been sweetened. I was celebrating my one year remission from cancer treatment so it definitely was a little disappointing that the service could have been better. Overall, we did wait a tad bit for our food to arrive, and it was quite noisy indoors but it was raining and humid outdoors. If it weren't for the great flavor of the food, I wouldn't return. Hopefully the service is better next time as well. read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Finding a place with good food as well as a beautiful ambiance is so difficult and this place was astounding. We were taken care of by the lovely Maria and I had no complaints.

I've been here a few times but it hasn't been super memorable, as I find it to be hit or miss. I've had avocado toast for brunch and more recently, fried okra and a Caesar salad. The salad was drowning in dressing--soggy and unpleasant. The croutons were tiny, scarce, and more chewy than crunchy. The fried okra was very crispy and delicious, but half of the order seemed to be crispy batter bits vs. more substantial pieces of okra. I liked my white wine mojito--it was decently strong, but would have had a nicer flavor with the mint being muddled instead of a large sprig as garnish. We finished with the doughnuts for dessert, which I've definitely had better. I'd consider them to be cake doughnut holes, of which I'm not a big fan. However, the basque cheesecake with cherry sauce and candied pistachios was fantastic. Service was good, and they gave us some excellent chocolate chip cookies to take home. Overall, I'll keep coming back, I'm sure. I'd really love to try their steak with blue cheese risotto some day. read more

Tinys number 5 is an extremely cute brunch and dinner spot in rice village. I have mostly been to brunch at this location but have done a very few nice dinners at their other location tiny boxy woods. My experience at tinys has always been very good. The food is fresh and delicious, waitress staff has been great, and any time I've spoken to management staff they have been great. Also the place is just so pleasant and nice to sit outside and spend a morning (though can be crowded). I will say I've had some somewhat frustrating interactions with the hostess, the inside can be very loud, and a few of the menu items (the migas for example and bagels and lox) have changed some over time and are less to my taste (more meat flavor to tortillas for migas and no more herbs in the little salad that comes with the bagel) but some people may like these changes. Overall I really enjoy coming here and think the rating should be higher! Be prepared to wait during peak brunch time but don't miss out! read more
