USA Wings

Cozy, well decorated restaurant with the perfect brunch atmosphere!…read more This place can get busy especially on the weekend, and so I highly recommend getting a reservation! Came here for brunch and they have a unique menu that puts an Asian spin to some classic dishes. A dish I will never stop raving about is the scallion waffle. It comes with a sambal honey butter that pairs deliciously with the crispy waffle. You can add the orange chicken for $10 and honestly, worth because it's crunchy, sweet, and adds a nice protein component to the waffle. Two other apps I really loved were the crab dip (which comes with a sweet and spicy jelly super super good) and the shrimp ceviche style app (can't recall the name but super tangy and fresh) my only complaint about the shrimp is that the cracker it comes with is way too salty. Overall, great menu!

Been looking forward to trying this place out. Heard good things online and from friends. The…read moreservice was great. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Gotta give shoutout to the decor and ambiance. It's super cozy. Probably weird to say but I loved the tiles in the hallway to restroom. So the food. Outside of the novelty the flavors are just ok. It's cool to have these Asian twists to western food but nothing really wowed me. Even tho it's popular I'd say pass on the chicken and waffles. The butter was delicious and the waffle was crispy but I'd rather have a regular scallion pancake. And the orange chicken was like any other. Think I prefer the smaller crispier pieces u get at other places. They do give u good amount of meat tho since it whole thigh. The best thing was the shrimp toast. It's like honey walnut shrimp but with toast. They have a layer of shrimp mousse and the sauce on top of toast. Unique way to serve a classic flavor. The hamburger fried rice was solid. Like a Big Mac but fried rice. My mom said it tasted like Zatarin dirty rice. Not bad but yeah I'd give it another shot to try their brunch menu which looks better and has more options. But first impression is that it's alright. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. And it's out of my way so I doubt I'd go again.

The fried chicken was well balanced, good brine and a crispy delicate batter. The bread with butter and jam was also quite decent. And prices were not too jaw breaking for an upscale brunch experience. Would definitely come back again!

I asked our server a couple questions about some of the dishes and was met with Irritation and rudeness and comments like, "of course there is cream in the mashed potatoes, it's mashed potatoes!" I was also told that the green beans were "just fried in a little bit of olive oil", yet they came out on my plate in a brown sauce. Hmm. Our server seemed to be very nice to a couple tables around us but not so much with us. She also appeared to be the only staff person in the restaurant out on the floor. I overheard other people calling her Shandy and it turned out she was the owner! I was appalled! As a female, I'm passionate about supporting other females and women-owned businesses, especially minority women. But I do expect a certain level of professionalism and to be treated with respect. I didn't find that at Shandy's :( My mom provided feedback to the owner after our meal and the owner indicated to my mom that my mom was the only person to ever give her this type of feedback. After reading other reviews, it appears that I am not the only one who has been made to feel this way.

From the moment I arrived, both the exterior presentation and the interior layout left an exceptional impression. Stepping inside, one is immediately enveloped in a fresh, inviting atmosphere defined by exquisite floral wall murals and meticulous attention to decorative detail. The space is wonderfully curated, pristine, and spotlessly clean throughout. The hospitality was top-tier from start to finish. I had the pleasure of speaking with Braulio, who was extraordinarily gracious, warm, and attentive as he guided me through the menu options with delightful expertise. To begin, I selected a Virgin Mojito, which arrived crisp, perfectly balanced, and immensely refreshing. For my main course, I ordered the noodle bowl featuring crispy tofu, which arrived after a brief, impressive wait. When served, it proved to be an absolute culinary triumph vibrant, rich with delicate flavors, and executed with superb texture. Between the enchanting ambiance, stunning decor, magnificent cuisine, and Braulio's stellar service, this Houston establishment earns full marks from me.

We enjoyed a glass or two of wine, tossed some darts, and soaked in the relaxed, unpretentious vibe. It is casual in the right way.

An adorable black and white cat who clearly runs the place. Getting to know Posty outside was an unexpected and genuinely charming moment that made the stop memorable. If you are a cat person, this alone will win you over. Even if you are not, it is hard not to smile. Great drinks, darts, friendly energy, and a bar cat that steals the show.

It is tiny and packed tight inside, but they do have patio seating as well. Parking is very limited, but you can find street parking nearby. Reservations are highly recommended but walk ins are welcome. We had a few people taking care of us that night and they were all great. I was between a few items and they were very helpful in steering me in the right direction. We started off with a few bottles of wine to get the night started. From what I understand, their wine list is one of the things they are known for. Your only other option for an adult beverage is limited options of canned or bottled beers. I didn't really have a say in the wine we shared, but what we had was delicious and paired nicely with the items we ordered. For starters, we went with the highly recommended bread service. Get this! This bread was so good. I doubt they make it as ordered, but it came out like it was fresh out of the oven. It was a nice crusty bread with a fluffy interior served on a cutting board with a huge smear of miso butter. We then went with the Crispy Cauliflower which was one of my favorite dishes of the night. It was smothered in a gochujang aioli and reminded me of a general tso chicken or something. Very good. Thai Chili Rubs was next and these were so good as well. I'm a sucker for all the Asian flavor profiles and this hit that. For my entree, I ended up with the Pork Chop w/ Chutney. This was a huge chop on a layer of apple sauce and a wonderful chutney that contrasted the sweet sauce. Every layer worked well together. I will say the pork chop was just slightly over cooked, in some parts. It also came with green beans which was cooked just right. No room for dessert as we had another party to head to. Overall, I'm glad my friends picked this spot for their birthday celebration. I am now in the know about this place and will consider coming back in the future.

He was incredibly friendly and working hard, but because he seemed to be juggling so much on his own, service was on the slower side. For the appetizer, we ordered the Crispy Fried Oysters & Brussels, and I got the redfish for my entrée. The Brussels sprouts were flash-fried perfectly, and I loved the sweetness of the chili honey glaze. The oysters had a nice crispy coating, but I found them to be a little bland. The redfish, though, was absolutely the star of the meal. I cleaned my plate. It was served with Hoppin' John and a lemon butter sauce. I had never heard of Hoppin' John before, but it's essentially a Southern rice-and-bean dish, and paired with that lemon butter, it was so flavorful. It complemented the fish perfectly.

Luckily, Pat's Wings on Wheels didn't so I gave them a try. While they only had 13 reviews when I checked, they had a 4.5 average. Their menu is pretty small as they focus on their wings. They have 10 or so flavors and you can either get a combo meal with six wings and fries, 10 wings and fries, or 15 wings and fries. For a $2 surcharge, you can substitute sweet potato fries. Other than that, they have hushpuppies, a chicken tenders and fries combo, and that's about it. We went with the Asian glaze 10-piece combo. The wings had a little kick to them but I wouldn't consider them spicy. We got a decent portion of fries, a little less than you would expect from a food truck, and they were unremarkable. Not bad but nothing to write home about either. But hey, it's the wings we care about. The wings were large which was a plus in my book and they were pretty crispy. They were good but I wasn't blown away here either. I'd say they're a little better than average when comparing them to other wing spots I've been to. Next time around, I want to try their lemon pepper of BBQ wings.
