The T5 Burger
Joyce J.

Came here to try the burgers, because the Burger Bodega owner says Tiny's burgers are honestly very good! And indeed they were. Our waitress was very nice and prompt, and she split the burgers for us so we could try each of the two burgers they had - the T5 and house. They're both solid, I would just knock off one star because they are low on the sauce inside. And i do love a good sauce on a burger/smashburger. Also for the price point, it's steeper but we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions.

Really enjoyed my time at Tinys. We sat outside, and it was hot, but still somewhat enjoyable, I believe our server was Jalyn, she was so sweet and patient. Per her recommendation, I had the Paloma cocktail, which was light and refreshing. For my meal, I ordered the Watercolor, and it was incredibly flavorful! My friend is allergic to shrimp so we had to get the shrimp on the side, but surprisingly it still was very flavorful. I appreciated the kitchen ability to keep the consideration for the allergy in mind. We also shared the prosciutto and fig pizza. I was too full to try it, but my friend really enjoyed it. For dessert, we split the chocolate chip cookie, which was served warm, gooey, and perfectly soft. It was the perfect way to end the meal!

Far enough away from the bar/restaurant area, this candle by the restrooms smelled really nice.

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!

Migas
Ashley E.

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.

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!

The bakery trio was a great starter and desert option. The cookies are always the best. My food was the steak and eggs. I asked for my steak to be medium, definitely wasn't. Also the wait as extremely long. Took over 45 minutes for our food to arrive. We had to ask for togo boxes as soon as our food arrived due to the long wait.

Lucky burger
Kasey Y.

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.

Burrata
Hayden S.

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.

I've been here multiple times and love it every time but I've only been for dinner twice. My second time was my 30th birthday with my mom and I had the redfish it was SO good and packed with so much flavor! Of course couldn't forget the BEST cookie ever!!!

Entrance way from bar / stitting area to the dining room.
Jim B.

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.

Turkey Club
Haley G.

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!

Braised Saturday - House Short Ribs
Claudia C.

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.

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.

How can you look at pictures of those pies and not go? Well, it was a great decision. I was a bit early and my party wasn't there yet, but they sat me anyway, which was so appreciated. 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.

They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.
