Always quick and pretty good food overall. Nothing spectacular, but it's reliable.

Walked in. I've never been to this establishment. I didn't know if it was a sit down restaurant or what. I stood there for 5 minutes.... There were several workers around on their phone and no one payed attention to me as I stood there. Finally I got the attention of the bar tender who was on his phone and I asked him how the restaurant worked if I need to wait to be seated or what. He was super rude and told me that I needed to get in line and order. We couldn't believe how rude he was. We stepped out and went to texadelphia and had a great lunch. read more

We love Treebeards, but we have noticed inconsistencies in quality in their different locations. We will definitely return because we do love their food, but will be cautious of what we order. For example - gumbo at one location has ton of seafood, and the other was all onions and bell peppers. read more

I've been to this location multiple times for lunch and they've been amazing every time. Fast and friendly. Food is fresh and delicious. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. read more

David the bartender is the best. We always sit at the bar and he is quick, helpful and funny. When I go to treebeards I can never decide what to get because everything is great. The red beans and rice is some of the best I've had (and I used to live in NOLA). The squash casserole and cornbread are both go-to sides for me. Jerk chicken Wednesday is amazing. Chicken fried chicken, chicken strips, and the garden salad are all great. The parking isn't always ideal but they have a parking garage that's never full. I go here at least once a week read more

I'm from New Orleans. Ordered the red beans and rice. Wow...and not in a good way. You do NOT cook red beans with cayenne pepper. That's all I could taste, and was left with a burning sensation at the back of my throat. Red beans have a subtle, smoky flavor...not these. Plus, they had a bit of a bite. Properly cooked, red beans have a creamy texture...not these. read more

Ok it's lent time and no meat on Friday! Treebeards offers great no meat options. Wife and I had fantastic seafood gumbo, lots of shrimp and crab. Son came later and the Red beans and rice was super. Don't forget the crab hush puppies for your appetizer. Management goes the extra mile for the guests and drink refills are easy. Didn't partake but fully stocked bar too. The open back door to veranda which allows the restaurant to fell like an outdoor venue. A+ Treebeards Memorial! Nice job! read more

Our family (5) ate dinner at Treebeards in Memorial and everything was great. Special was chicken fried steak. My husband and I had that and others had their house salad and chicken, chicken fried chicken. Cornbread was large and very tasty. Mac and cheese was also good. Chocolate cake was shared by all and was divine. Love their flavored iced tea! Food came out quickly. Staff was wonderful! Will be back soon! read more

The food is all made from scratch and tastes delicious! Staff is very friendly and helpful. The space is beautiful with large sliding glass doors and gorgeous patio! Cocktails, wine, beer, appetizers, amazing cakes all great! We go at least once a week! Love this neighborhood gem! read more

So excited to see this beautiful place open. Been hearing about their reputation for a while, and now to have this in the neighborhood is a welcome addition. Took my team in for lunch, and everyone was impressed. Excellent food, atmosphere is ideal for lunch and dinner and patio seating this time of year is a huge bonus. I will be a regular, and appreciate the professional and friendly service. Congrats on you opening. read more

Love this place! I got recommend it but my husband's family and it does not disappoint! The food was delicious and I absolutely adore the atmosphere in the restaurant. I'm definitely adding this place to my list of favorite restaurants and will be back again soon! read more

The gumbo and jambalaya were bland and forgettable. The restaurant and service were good.

Best red beans and rice ever! Also excellent etouffee and jambalaya. A Houston classic for many years.

My family and I love Treebeards!! Some of our favorite menu items include the fried chicken, pecan crusted tilapia, mashed potatoes, and of course all the amazing cakes!! You can't go wrong. We love this location and order from here often. Highly recommended. read more

Can't go wrong here. Everything is amazing from the salads to the desserts and everything in between. Been going to the downtown location many years ago. This new location is clean and modern. read more

Haven't had a bad experience yet!!! Great home style food that hits the spot and at just the right portion!!

Pretty good. I enjoyed my time here and was a fan of the food. A little pricey, but that's more of a problem for my budget than for the restaurant. read more

This is my favorite place to eat of all times. I drive over 45 min to eat at their new location at Bunker Hill. Are used to go to the downtown location it was sad to see it go this is even better you have indoor and outdoor seating. Very safe, clean And if you haven't been by you need to try it I've been for over 25 years of treebeards read more

We love Treebeards and their newest location in Memorial. Everything on the menu is delicious and the atmosphere is great!!! We love bringing my little one here too, perfect for the whole family! read more

Treebeards (Katy Freeway) does a credible job of carrying on the downtown tradition, except for its cornbread. I've eaten here three times over the last six months and each time the cornbread was a dried out, crumbly caricature of the moist cornbread I used to love. It's either over-baked perhaps or left in a warming tray too long. That said, all of the traditional menu items are still great. read more

I have to Say I was a bit hesitant as it's more self service than I expected. That said it was a fun atmosphere and the food was GREAT. Drinks a bit pricey. All in all I'd recommend just know it's a casual relaxed dining experience. read more

In fairness first time here and the cook can make a difference, but the Shrimp etouffee was not very good, neither the sauce nor the shrimp, and the cornbread was extremely dry and dense. Good red beans and rice. The dessert looked good but I didn't try it. read more

This is an instant classic/hit for anyone that likes great food at very reasonable prices in a very cool atmosphere! I've long been a fan but they've really taken this to a great new level with new entree options that are simply excellent. Our family has now dined in and taken out quite a few times now and it has yet to disappoint in any way. Met one of the owners just last night, what a gentlemen and this place works from the top down as their staff has been and remains excellent, well trained and very customer focused. read more

Food was excellent and they give you plenty! My husband has the shrimp and I had the catfish. The environment is clean and very trendy and wait staff attentive. read more

Always enjoy eating at tree birds when I used to work at downtown. Super happy now that they have a location over here on Bunker Hill. The layout of the restaurant works perfectly with the outdoor patio read more

The shrimp etouffee was just ok as it could have been better if it had a little extra kick. My wife was disappointed in her chicken and sausage jambalaya saying it was too bland. It was worth the try. read more

So glad Treebeards is close to home and this location is inviting and spacious. It's in a new construction shopping center and everything is clean and new. Food is great as usual. read more

Great service, friendly staff, got the seafood gumbo and the Mac and cheese and they were both fantastic, gumbo was full of flavor and not too spicy. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and an awesome outdoor setup, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. read more

Well, the food was not amazing, but I will be back for sure. Great atmosphere...overall, nice dining experience. The red beans and rice was pretty good--I am sure If I ate sausage it would have been tastier, but pork is not in my diet. My son ordered the regular size chicken fried chicken dinner...and honestly, what came out looked like one chicken tender with Gravy(everyone at our table was surprised by the small portions). On the good side, the creole sauce on the salmon was very good! read more

I ordered crawfish ettouffe for takeout. It was terrible- no crawfish flavor, and WAY more celery, green pepper, and onions than needed. The crawfish were miniscule. For delicious shrimp ettouffe, try Goode Co Seafood. They also have good crawfish ettouffe for about 6 weeks during crawfish season. I will not be going to Treebeards again. read more

Some of the worst tasting Crawfish Etouffee I have ever eaten! Not much more to say. Not sure if it is some "special" recipe, but this CE is nothing like CE that I have eaten elsewhere. read more

We were excited that Treebeards opened on Gaylord. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the service as well as the food. Since you tip when you order food at the cashier counter, there was evidently no incentive for our waitress to do a decent job. Bad attitude, never checked on us. Had to flag down an accommodating waiter to ask for salt and pepper packets. Food came out quickly but was not hot, just warmish. Gravy looked congealed. Mac and cheese was dry. Looked like the food had sat around a while. Wasn't fresh. Hope they get their act together. Not good. Wish I'd taken pictures so you could see how unappetizing everything but the salad looked. Side green salad was good, fresh. read more

Horrible experience! First time at this restaurant for a family brunch celebration. Manager was extremely rude to my Mother in law after a complaint about the non palatable food, told her and my father in law to not come back after snatching her debit card from her hand. All the food tasted bad, un seasoned. Would not recommend nor return. read more

Hidden gem off the beaten track, east of Memorial Mall on Gaylord. Never even knew there were restaurants east of Bunker Hill. Loved the long-closed Tranquility Park shop, when this location popped up in a random search, decided to treat my girl to a visit to one of her old favorites. Ordered the chicken fried chicken, squash and mac and cheese and she got the red beans and rice with sausage. The chicken was moist, with a nice crust and would have been great even without the white gravy, but the addition made it perfect. The squash was a mixture of fresh slices and chunks, onions and dressing baked 'en casserole' with browned cheese on top. Classic Treebeards red beans and rice stands the test of time, and the sausage was sufficiently spicy to provide a nice accent. Dinner sized servings were ordered and a nice sliced French baguette came free to mop up afterwards, free refills on fountain drinks as well, full bar for those so inclined. Huge indoor seating area, and plenty outdoor as well. I remembered it as being overly spicy for my tastes my last visit a few years back, and either I'm less sensitive, or the spices are much more balanced these days. Thoroughly enjoyed it. read more

The carrot cake was very good. It was about the only thing I liked. The beans in the red beans and rice was hard. It was also kind of weird that the sausage isn't cut up. The chicken and sausage gumbo was sooooo greasy. I really didn't like the texture of it either not to mention the flavor. Plus, everyone knows you don't put the rice inside the gumbo when it's a to-go order. Meh...I was hoping this was good Cajun food since it's so close to home and so I dont have to cook it when I want it but it's definitely not. read more

As a long time Treebeard's customer of all of their downtown locations, we were so happy to stop by this new neighborhood location. We called in our dinner order and it was ready for pick up at the bar. The bar is very inviting and they had the doors open, since it was a nice evening. Also, they have patio tables outside for dining. We ordered the evening special, which was a stuffed pork chop with a side of red beans & rice and mustard greens and a baked catfish topped with their yummy shrimp etouffee with a side of dirty rice and greens. All of the food was cooked to perfection and the portions are very generous. No room for dessert, but their cakes are good. We will return, since it is so close and the food is great at very reasonable prices. read more

Apparently this establishment employs individuals that like to spread holiday cheer - of the Scrooge kind. Ordered several meals to go, and while the food was fine, the man taking my order was a complete jerk. Enough to make me not want to give them my future business. Had the order not been for a teacher holiday lunch, I would have canceled it on the spot. Come to find out he is the bartender. read more

What a disaster tonight. I went in and ordered the baked chicken. To my surprise, it was undercooked. You could see how pink the breast was. I sent it back and just asked for a side of Mac and cheese. The response was, "The mac and cheese doesn't look good." At that point, I closed out and left hungry and completely unimpressed. I used to like the locations downtown; this, however, was terrible and I won't be back. read more

First time here...not impressed! Having family from Louisiana, who cook gumbo all the time, I thought I would try it out. So disappointed. Full of tomatoes & flavorless. Had to add salt & Tabasco. Not a fan & probably won't be back. I sure do miss Ragin Cajun being down Gessner & Westheimer...their gumbo ROCKED! read more

Takeout orders wrong on last three trips. Should have checked them. Food is good, accuracy.....well let's just say failure is absolutely an option. I'll either go instead of my wife....or order elsewhere. read more
