The grilled cheese from here was life-changing. It was so good that even a month later I had to come back and write a review to make sure people know just how good the sandwich is simple as a grilled cheese can actually taste. The service wasn't bad either. Overall eager to go back. read more

The crust on my grilled cheese was absolutely perfect, and the filling was so flavorful! I went with the buffalo chicken and was not disappointed! The slaw at the perfect crunch to accompany the initial crust of the bite. Definitely recommend giving them a try! I'm going to try something new every time I come. ETA: I was so busy gushing over the sandwich I didn't talk about the fries. The fries are the perfect crispiness, seasoned well without overpowering the sandwich, and I could eat 5 pounds of them. read more

The service was great the cashier rung us up fast and started on the order. I Enjoyed the sandwich! I did feel like I had more peppers than brisket but I guess I get it they have to still make money. The fries did taste freezer burnt and I didn't finish them.. but I get it if people aren't ordering them all the time. read more

I've been to the Katy location and the Food Truck that was near Chimney Rock. I'm usually skeptical about mall locations for any place, I figured why not? Got the Smokehouse Brisket. It's my favorite sandwich off the menu. It never fails. This one didn't as well. Great flavor, sexy cheese pull, etc. The fries were well seasoned but not cooked well at all. They were almost raw. Would score higher, but if I'm paying 20+ dollars for a sandwich, drink, and fries.....please make sure the fries are done next time. I know it can be a rush, but good things do take time! read more

I can tell you right now as I sit here chowing down this place is twisted good! Hella good, I got the Smokehouse Brisket, which is a smoked beef brisket with pickled jalapenos, melted yellow and white American cheese, white cheddar, and mozzarella. The bread is buttery toasted with a drizzle of barbecue sauce on top! What a lovely delicious combination for a person who craves cheese! The service is great, and the atmosphere is always nice when I can sit back and relax and people-watch. read more

New location!!! Memorial City Mall food court. Not bad for their first week. A little slow, but I am sure they will work things out. The sandwich was very tasty. I tried the brisket cheese sandwich. It's very rich so you might want to share with a friend. I would like to see them do a half sandwich with a tomato soup combo. I thought the prices were slightly high. It's definitely worth a try. If you like grilled cheese, they have a variety of sandwich combinations that are fun and unique. Staff should try to smile a little more to add to the experience. read more

I really wanted to like this place but they didn't have a full menu when we arrived. I wanted to try the pepperoni grilled cheese but they didn't the stuff for it so I settled on the OG while my fiancé got the brisket one. I got mine as a combo with fries and a drink. It took about 20 minutes for our food to come out. At the time we were the only ones that ordered. The guy almost looked bothered that we came up to get food but Grilled Cheese sounded so good at the time. The food itself was ok. It wasn't worth the $43 we spent (Yes $43 on Grilled Cheeses) Nothing to write home about. It seems like the attitude of the workers is a common issue between the different locations and its such a shame as I looked at their social media to see how they started. The owner should invest in some secret shoppers to help this business out. read more

This Black-owned food truck does grilled cheese so differently and in the BEST way! Look at that CHEESE though! This is the Philly cheesesteak grilled cheese and it had so much flavor that it didn't take me long to eat at ALL. I got the Parmesan fries to go along with it and they were literally the perfect pair. Whenever I'm back in Houston I will definitely try another type of grilled cheese! Also, expect to bring about $15-20 per person if you're wanting a grilled cheese and fries. You've got to try this place! read more

I had the Halal Chicken and enjoyed it. However, the sandwich was smaller than expected and not worth the $12. I wanted the buffalo chicken but they said it was unavailable. Staff said their most popular sandwich was the brisket and maybe that would've wowed me if I got it. They only had one menu that a customer was looking at so I had to wait till they were done before seeing options. The menu was rather dirty and should be cleaned more regularly. They quoted a 15 minute wait and finished a couple minutes earlier. The one staff member at the truck could've been friendlier but also answered all my questions so maybe he was having a rough day. I would give the taste of the food 4 stars but Overall, it was an average experience and I don't think I'll be back which is why it gets 3 stars. I could rate this place higher if they decreased prices and were more friendly. read more

The 5-cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwich and Tomato Basil Soup would be better IF 1) Two or 3 less slices of cheese were used (and a lower price) and 2) the soup was a bit thinner so when you dip the sandwich it soaks in a bit. As it is, the ratio of bread to cheese is cheese-heavy. The bread is toasted very nicely. read more

Went to the new Memorial City location solely based on a FB ad that featured an "Avocado BLT+E," (bacon lettuce tomato and fried egg.) It looked bomb so I went to get one. Well apparently, you have to specifically ask for the egg to be added even though the menu shows that it has an egg. I got my sandwich after about a 15 minute wait and there was no egg on it. I was extremely disappointed but didn't have time to try and get them to make another one. The sandwich was good but $15 for a grilled cheese that didn't even have everything it was supposed to have?? Good lord...I won't be going back. read more

I was completely surprised because I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit at the galleria location. I ordered my food to go, but at best, it was lukewarm. The bread didn't seem fresh and the grilled ribeye wasn't seasoned. The initial visit, the sandwich was loaded. This time, it barely filled the bread, end to end. The fries were ok, but not fresh. I usually always have left overs and enjoy the next day, but I discarded them.... read more

Finally got to check this place out for a to go order. Super easy to order and pay online. Food was hot and ready at the promised time. Ordered the TGC 5 Cheese Classic, the 5 Cheese Pepperoni and a side of the tomato basil soup. The soup was amazing - deep, rich tomato flavor and great consistency. With the sandwiches, was expecting to taste more of the 5 cheeses that are listed on the menu. All I could taste was the White American cheese and that was a little disappointing but an easy fix for next time if I can request none of that type of cheese. The bread was still crispy when I got it home. read more

She even came off the truck to greet me in person and apologize. 5 STAR SERVICE!!!!! Once my food was completed she brought it to my car. Also offered their special drink a limeade. The food was sooo good and full of meat. I had more than 7 fries this time and everything was tasty. I will be back and I appreciate the efforts put forth to make my 2nd experience great. read more

I almost gave this 3 stars because the TGC classic wasn't anything impressive, but that 5 cheese pepperoni one was immaculate! My date and I are kind of foodies. He doesn't do reviews but I do! I am not going to bash the classic because it's just a standard grilled cheese but I think the salted butter was just a little too salty for my taste. It's good but I could make a standard grilled cheese at home for way less. The pizza one was next level though. I hate pepperoni. I don't hate it but I can tolerate it. It usually overwhelms the dish, but this time it was perfect. You could taste the sauce, the cheese, the meat, and most importantly that savory buttered toast. This place is a real treat! I came here on Saturday and ordered online because this area is packed. Parking is limited come early and order online! read more

I ordered online and picked up at the walk-up window on a cold, windy day, so I can't fully judge the ambience but a few outdoor heaters would be a nice touch while waiting. Overall, a great easy burger stop!

Not know anything about the brand, I was surprised to realize that it doesn't have an interior dining room. Instead Smalls is a to go eatery only dispensing food either thru a drive thru or walk up window. They do have a small covered outside eating area with a few picnic tables on fake grass. I ordered the meal of 2 sliders, waffle fries and a soft drink for $9.79. I ordered at a walk up window and the food was ready in less than 5 minutes and served in a bag. I thought both sliders were good tasting. Juicy and flavorful. The waffle fries were seasoned and good tasting too. Unfortunately they only serve ketchup in packets so you need a dozen or so to provide enough ketchup. This meal was good tasting and affordable. My main negative is that you'll usually have to eat your food in your car or take it home. Kind of like Checkers and Rally's. It's fast food so the food should be consistent but not warrant more than a 3 score. This is a good option for a burger and fries meal to go.

I have not been to a Treebeards in over 20 years - I am just not a fan of red beans and rice or…read moreJambalaya. Yet, a friend picked this restaurant and I met him. Using Waze this is a hard place to find as it is behind office buildings not on the feeder as the address suggests. Further finding outdoor parking is not possible at a peak hour but note that there is an easily accessible parking garage. This Treebeards appearance was very pretty (not what I was expecting giving my experience with the downtown location and I am not sure that it is still around). Also, some other nice restaurants in this block. The restaurant was packed with professionally dressed people. The waiter took our order, and he was accommodating to substitutions and our selection of side orders. I got fried catfish. This is not a normal selection for me as I will normally avoid fried foods other than fries and chips (yes, and I wonder why I do not lose the 5 lbs. that I need to lose). Service was quick and our order was perfect. The friend catfish was outstanding as it was right out of the fryer. It was a very pleasant experience and I would happily go back.

Treebeards off the Katy Freeway - Solid Comfort Food in a Convenient (but Tricky) Spot…read moreWe stopped by Treebeards on the Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas, and it was exactly what we needed for a hearty lunch. Finding the place can be a little confusing if you're coming right off the Katy Freeway because of the unique building structure it's tucked into -- just take it slow and you'll spot it. Once you're there, though, there's plenty of parking in the shared lot. Fair warning: it does get very crowded since so many other restaurants and retail spots share the same area, so you might have to circle a bit during peak times. The atmosphere is really nice and relaxed. They have seating both inside and outside, with plenty of tables plus some comfy couches where you can settle in and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. You order at the counter when you walk in, then grab a seat wherever you like -- super straightforward. We went with the gumbo, two orders of the chicken pot pie, and a shepherd's pie. Overall, the food was good -- solid, comforting, and filling -- but it wasn't quite amazing. We've definitely had better versions of the shepherd's pie, chicken pot pies, and gumbo at other spots around Houston. That said, the sides were legit! The macaroni and cheese and red beans and rice were both tasty and hit the spot. The jalapeño cornbread had great flavor, but man, it was extremely dry. Like, the kind of dry where you take a bite and immediately need a big swig of your drink to get it down. For dessert, we split the yellow cake with chocolate frosting. My wife really enjoyed it, though I'm not a huge fan of that style. I did notice they offer bread pudding, so I'll definitely be trying that next time. All in all, Treebeards delivered a satisfying meal in a chill setting. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area and craving some down-home comfort food.
