    Kenny and Ziggy's (K&G) is THE place I take visitors and friends that come to Houston as the…read moreatmosphere is a true deli experience, the service is top notch, the food is out of this world, and the ambience is true New York Deli. It been a Houston institution since 1999. Walking into K&G's can be quite overwhelming on the first visit. There's just so much to see, be it Autographs, Caricatures, Playbill's or their delicious cakes, treats, breads, and Pickles. However, the real overwhelming experience is the menu. Anything you could possibly want is listed on the menu. I recommend looking t it online before coming, just so you can have an idea of what you might want to eat. My dad(96) and I are frequent visitors and we always seem to get the open faced roast beef, which is stacked high and there is always left overs for eating at home the next day. The pickles are a fan favorite for me, and I tend to devour several of them. This visit I decided to try the fried fish sandwich (made with halibut) with onion rings and french fries and my friend, a Houston native who had never been here, went for the Schleppy Joe with onion rings. These sandwiches were stunning and wonderful. I saved half for to go so I could have their classic New York Cheesecake... the best in the city. The entire dining experience was top notch, exactly the experience I always have. Ziggy knows how to make the customers dining experience an "experience", I have never had a bad one, from the service down to the cleanliness of the entire place. In this review I want to give a special shout out to Beverly, our server, as she was amazing and whom I recommend. She practically read our minds and was an absolute star. Thank you, Beverly, for the fine service that was speedy with a smile!

My niece wanted the chocolatey-est dessert on the menu so our awesome waiter (a very personable and kind guy) recommended a multi-layered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and we decided to have it a la mode. He asked if we wanted it hot or warm. We ordered it warm and in hindsight we wish we'd ordered it hot but it was still perfect for a chocolate fix. He even brought out a candle for the cake when he found out her birthday was coming up the following week. I also ordered a cheesecake and we shared each other's desserts. Needless to say we had plenty to take home and we thoroughly enjoyed it the following day as well and at a hotter temperature that was perfect with soft serve ice cream.

    My husband and I stopped by this Jason's Deli location on Bellaire and Stella Link. At first, we…read moreweren't sure if it was actually Jason's Deli because the sign wasn't very obvious. Once we walked in, though, we were pleasantly surprised. The place was clean, and you can see the kitchen from the dining area, which was nice. There are two self-order kiosks, but if you don't want to use them, you can also order with the cashier. There are a few tables for dining in, and everything felt well kept. The service was quick, and the manager was very friendly and welcoming. I gave this location 3 stars because, while everything was good overall, nothing really stood out to make it an exceptional experience. Still, the friendly service and clean restaurant made for a pleasant visit.

    I had read that this place was "smaller than other locations" like "1/4 the size of a Jason's Deli"…read morebut we didn't realize it would be THIS SMALL. Like, it's got 5 tables??? After googling this location, it was listed as a Jason's Deli-Express. (Well, maybe that should be listed on the front of the store). I always get Jason's Deli salad bar well... that's not here. And the kids love the free ice cream... I don't think that's here either. We didn't see it. If you go to Jason's for sandwiches, this place would definitely be ok. Baked potato, yes. Ordering an already made salad, yup. So unfortunately, we left and went to a "normal" Jason's Deli where I could have my beloved salad bar and the kids could gorge themselves on ice cream.

    Okay, I'm giving it five stars, even though I threw my sandwich away after the first bite. There…read morewas mayo in that bite. Communication was a struggle on both ends. I tried to get the man behind the counter to understand that I wanted half a muffaletta, with no mayo. I expressed this in several different ways, because the confused expression on his face indicated that none of it was registering. In the end I gave up and accepted the whole, giant sandwich wheel. It wasn't till I got home that I realized he'd misunderstood more than just the size I was asking for. I can't tell you how much I despise mayonnaise (unless I'm having a BLT, and am thoroughly in charge of the application of the condiment). Why would it even be an option, mayo on a muffaletta? It would be just as ridiculous to have to specify "no ketchup" on one. I don't mean to come off as overly dramatic, here, but that bite was more harmful to me than anything that has ever happened to anyone in the history of humankind. You're probably thinking, "He-LLO . . . Have you seen Schindler's List?" And you may have a point. I sat through that whole film just letting valuable hours pass me right by. But this sandwich thing was even worse. So, after all that bitching, why the five stars, Mike? Because I know it would have been good without the mayonnaise. And because I remember the old Antone's. Not gonna let one assassination attempt ruin that history. I can't go back until I'm completely fluent in Spanish, though. Como se dice "mayo" in espanol?

I received 1 baklava, 2 pasta salads (not ordered), and one macaroni salad. The lack of attention to the order was disappointing. The food: The mufalata is excellent, great flavor and value for the price. The 4 oz salads are too small and all of the pasta salads are bland, so I doubt recommend them. The fruit salad was great and very fresh and tasty. The hummus is lemony, but also gritty, so it depends on your preference on whether you'll enjoy it. The pasta salad is smooth, but tasted great. The cheesecake is meh, and tastes like it is just a basic store bought dessert. The baklava is super sweet, but good value compared to other restaurants. The Greek salad was very fresh and comes with plenty of shredded feta. I'd recommend Paulie's for the sandwiches, potato salad, and fresh salads. The desserts and pasta salads are not worth trying.

I just noticed a couple grouchy customers and gave the girl a bad attitude so PLEASE BE NICE!! We are all starting our morning and should dump our negativity on others!! Okkkk okkk now for the food!!! Not bad $12.95 for a breakfast bagel and a cappuccino. Freshly baked jalapeño bagel with egg and bacon and jalapeño cream cheese which they are make themselves!! When you come in through the bakery side you can see fridge with many options for you to add to your bagels (take home) and they had so much to choose from "smoked salmon,smoked fish, different cream cheeses, drinks, creams" Oml and more!!! I was originally going to purchase a bagel and prep it myself but the girl in the front told me about the restaurant and how many options I have to have them prep my bagel!! Yummm I looked at menu and they had so much but I had to go to work so I wanted something fast!! But will definitely come back to eat here with my family!!! The bagel was so good!!

I was craving a good gyro and was reminiscing on the specific and perfect flavor of Droubis. So glad this place exists! It's a simple gyro with the necessary toppings (nothing over the top) wrapped perfectly in the most delicious and fresh pita. The price is very reasonable and the quality is top notch. The owner was still making sandwiches just like before! The taste was exactly how I remembered. And the hospitality hasn't changed either!! While waiting for my sandwich to be made, he offered us tea and apologized for the 5 minute delay (because he was making fresh pitas for the sandwiches). I will definitely be back!

    $5.99 Lamb or chicken Shawarma!.... Need I say more?…read more This guy Mr Droubi is The OG, the original article, The Man, The Professor and Grand Master! Since 1979 he's been slangin shawarma, he's so goated that he's still servin the block and expanding. His students have moved on to other known Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern food establishments like Fadis and such, unfortunately everyone forgot that shawarma is a street food that helps the common man on his grind with an affordable meal but now these greedy guys are selling shawarma for over $15 "sides and drink not included" Mr Droubi is keepin it a hunit and I got mad respect for him. The falafel is also very delicious as well as their hummus and baba ganoush, they have house made pastries, dates, figs, feta, flat bread, imported EVOO etc. all in a chill store/restaurant, I can't wait to come back! May God continue to bless him and those around him

The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

They had a good menu, with options for anyone's dietary needs. This is a 100% family centric business. I had read about their story on the website. Highly recommend you take a look. They bring in elements of this into their restaurant with theit kids names throughout the joint. Parking was easy enough, and it looks like they labeled the parking barriers with names of the family's kids. I ran into some of the owners as I waited for my order. They were decorating the back patio, and they have the kids up on the walls too. I walked in to make an order, And left 15 minutes later with everything I needed. I ordered the Montecito, a very tasty chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist, and well flavored. I also upgraded the fries. My friends also liked their orders, a different chicken sammich and a vegetarian burrito.

And it's been true for 15 years. Luckily they are around H-Town and my last visit I was staying relatively klose to the Westheimer location. Gotta admit that it is a beautiful and spacious location with outdoor dining and a playscape for the kids. Inside is an open dining concept that still allows patrons to have private conversations. The staff is super friendly and attentive and even the manager comes by asking about the service and food. Speaking of... I ordered a cup of chili, a Reuben and my favorite, the Yankee pot roast. Of course, not all of it for me as I had a friend with me. Chili was spot-on Texas style and not too spicy. The Reuben was delicious and the right amount of portions with the corned beef, sauerkraut and Russian dressing. The rye bread was moist so the hard edges didn't tear up the upper part of my mouth. But the Yankee pot roast sandwich was heavenly. First bite brought me back 30 years ago when I first had it. So happy that the recipe is still the same where every bite brings comfort and satisfaction. I hope they eventually make it back to Austin. We need a good deli with exceptional sandwiches and other tasty food. And I'll always remember Marc Katz proclaiming on TV, "Katz Never Kloses!!"
