Hi, a few months ago I went for dinner with my family to Numero28 on Highland Village, the food was…read moreamazing and the service great. My sister ordered melanzane alla parmigiana and I had the famous caccio e pepe. I do not remember what else was brought to the table but I'd like to highly recommend those two. It was delicious and the pasta was almost like the one I ate in Rome. Daniel was very nice and he even took the time to speak to me in Italian as I let him know I was always looking for opportunities to practice it. Hope you all enjoy! -Atenea

It is definitely a small restaurant and tight fit in between tables and chairs. The staff was friendly but not as attentive as they could've been, but I think their was a slight language barrier. The truffle honey that came on the charcuterie board stole the entire show! It was so delicious. The pizzas were good, but I prefer a less soggy bottom. The burratta appetizer was also delicious. It was a good fast lunch.

The bartender was friendly and offered quick service. Inside the restaurant it was clean, however, they were playing music loudly. We ordered several appetizers as well as entrees and I am pleasantly surprised. We finished our first round of food and decided to order another entree. However, she forgot to place the order and we ended up waiting extra long. One of the appetizers that stood out was the South Texas quail. I think about eating this often. It was sweet but also fresh and tangy. Another entree that was great was the plate with the sausage and brisket as well as sides. Brisket was tender and flavorful.

The short version: the kitchen impressed us, but the service needs work…read more Jason, Jarred, Lindsey, and I came for dinner and ordered four very different entrées. I chose the filet mignon well done with peas and truffle mac and cheese. It was cooked exactly the way I requested and tasted delicious, although it required a knife and was not fork-tender. We also tried the steak and ale pie, Saturday prime rib, and lamb keema. Jason ordered the Pub Old Fashioned, I had Jägermeister over ice, and we shared the sticky toffee pudding with custard for dessert. The food across the table was genuinely excellent. The problem was the timing and lack of communication. Our waitress's attention felt random, and only three entrées arrived together. The lamb keema did not appear until more than 20 minutes later, leaving one person sitting without food while everyone else had been served. No explanation was offered, and neither the kitchen nor a manager stopped by to acknowledge the delay. Mistakes and delays happen, but communication costs nothing. We would return because the food was that good, but hopefully the service and entrée timing will be much better next time.

I was surprised that they actually have food here and it's not just generic pub food but like really good Curries. I was there on a Wednesday and they have a special on Curries and a pint so I took advantage of it and even though prices aren't cheap (really, it's not just them), I was surprised at how large the portion was and it was enough for my lunch the next day too. Overall, our service was great and the place is pretty classy though more fitting for a slightly older crowd which is fine considering I'm the "older crowd" now.

The beef burger was topped with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and sliced tomatoes with basil pesto and fig balsamic glaze. He loved it. Added tallow fries which were also good but seemed like regular fries. I had a Shawarma Wrap. The shawarma-seasoned chicken breast wrap came with romaine, tomatoes, pickles, and garlic toum in a spinach tortilla. It was served with hummus and tortilla chips. So yummy. Our server surprised us with a Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie. Loved the warm skillet pan chocolate chip cookie that was freshly baked. Topped with vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar, it was the perfect way to end a nice birthday dinner. Service was great. Made a reservation, but they were not busy.

We came out for an Houston Restaurant Week Double-date with Brian T. and Ben B. I've been out a few…read moretimes in the past, and really like the area. They have parking in a big garage across the street, or a much smaller paid lot in front of the building. They have the fancy license plate readers, so you can pay before you get to the gate. For HRW this year, Lymbar just took their entire menu and split it up. Most places will offer you something adjusted from their menu, a special item, or a limited amount of options specifically for HRW. This was not the case here. We also came during happy hour, which allowed us to try even more things without breaking the bank. To start, we ordered their ceviche. Delicious, flavorful, good quantity. The sweet potato was a great medium for a different take. The Crab and Shrimp Tostada. The chip wasn't crisp, but the flavor of the beans and the tostada were great. The Devil Wings. Very flavorful glaze on the wings, the sauce was a tzatziki ranch. Light and tasty. Lobster Twinkies. Our least favorite. Tiny fried brioche. Salad was not flavorful. It tasted more like the filler than it did lobster. The bisque tasted more like oat milk than a lobster bisque. The Rosespud. Basically a refund chips and salsa. beet, plantain & potato chip planks, chive-onion dip & romesco sauce. The chive-onion tastes more like a light olive oil. Loved the chips by themselves, not so much the dips. Ta-cones. Very tasty little things. The meat goes to about half cone. Great texture and flavors mix well. Osao Bucco Mole negro, polenta souffle, roasted carrot & fennel, pickled onion. The carrots were undercooked, but the rest was delightful and filling. Definitely a heavy dish, most of the flavors just combined, versus a medley. It could have used something to accompany it. But really enjoyed it otherwise! Smoked Lamb Lollichops Chimichurri, chili chipotle glaze, vermicelli rice, roasted tomato. This had a delightful array of flavor,and it hit all the notes. The meat was perfectly cooked, and that little bit of char is my favorite. This was by far the favorite entree of the evening. Filete En Mole Verde Grilled petite filet, mole pipian, char roasted broccolini, vermicelli rice, house sourdough flatbread. This was a solid steak. On any day where we were just having a steak, this would be great. But compared to the lamb, it was probably our least favorite of the evening. Still very good though. Then there was dessert... Tequila Bread Pudding Vanilla anglaise, walnut cherry chutney. This was the favorite across the table. It had a very rich and full flavor, and the texture matched perfectly. Perfectly. We were full, but this could not be denied. Highly recommend. Sticky Toffee Pudding Warm brown sugar date cake, brown butter toffee, whipped mascarpone. A very close second in the desert category. This was a much more dense dessert, and in my opinion quite a bit heavier on the sweetness. This could almost be comparable to a light gingerbread. Take this down with some coffee. We also went around the table for cocktails during happy hour. My first old fashioned was a little on the sweeter side, so when I ordered afterwards I asked specifically for a less sweet variant and they did not disappoint. Well done! Overall we had a great evening and a ton of food. Whenever we all get together we earn our next trip to the gym. Service was a little slow to start but once the food started coming it didn't slow down. We were very happy with our evening out. Would absolutely go again and might make this an annual event.

Luckily our server was able to move us to the covered outdoor seating after a little while which was a little better. The covered patio has fans. However, bonus for sitting outside is that they're having a promo during HRW where happy hour drink specials are going on all day. The food and drinks were all yummy though. We got the yum yum fries for the table to share. I ordered the duck duck shroom pizza and the aperol spritz. The portions of everyone's food were huge so I'd say a good bang for your buck. We experienced multiple servers with our table switch and they were all nice and helpful.

Getting seated was a little chaotic. Indoor seating was pretty limited and not managed well. We end up sitting on the patio (still pretty toasty around sunset time). The giant pretzel we ordered for appetizer was excellent, highlight of the meal. The sourdough pizzas were pretty thin, overall I'd give the pizzas a 3/5. Of the 4 pizzas we tried, my personal ranking: 1. Spicy Goat 2. Duck Duck Shroom 3. Heirloom Margherita 4. Sweet & Spicy Pepperoni. Service was also disorganized and a little slow. I'd come back if I'm craving that pretzel.

Cleburne Cafeteria is hands down one of the BEST restaurants in Houston. If you live in Houston or…read moreare just visiting, you absolutely need to eat here at least once. This is true, old-school Houston comfort food done right, and it never disappoints. The blacken chicken and grilled chicken are incredible--perfectly seasoned, juicy, and some of the best chicken you'll find anywhere. The chicken fried steak is phenomenal and exactly what a great Texas chicken fried steak should be. And the sides are just as good. Their macaroni and cheese is unbelievable--rich, creamy, cheesy, and the kind of mac and cheese you keep thinking about after you leave. And DO NOT leave without getting a blueberry muffin. They are absolutely amazing. Honestly, you could come here just for the blueberry muffins and be happy. What makes Cleburne Cafeteria so special is that everything tastes like real, homemade Southern cooking. There are so many choices, the portions are generous, and you can put together a completely different meal every time you come. Houston has an incredible food scene, but Cleburne Cafeteria is one of those places that truly feels like HOUSTON. It's been a Houston institution for a reason. Whether you've lived here your whole life or you're visiting the city for the first time, put Cleburne Cafeteria on your list. Blackened chicken, grilled chicken, chicken fried steak, mac and cheese, blueberry muffins--you seriously can't go wrong. Five stars without question. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in Houston! The valet on Sundays is a great touch because the parking lot can get over full! The valet guys, especially, Brett are so amazing, hospitable, loving. They make you feel welcomed arriving and leaving.

Historically significant. Excellent food as you can see from the reviews…read more So I'll just post photos. My default ? Lemon cod, tabouli, coconut pie. The fried chicken is not good enough to recommend. As you will see, George M., the manager did respond to my comment. And I thank him for his response. (Though I was amused by how he phrased his response). Keep in mind. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Cleburne. I grew up in a Houston with Picadilly, Weldon's, Brittain's, Luby's, Wyatt's and more. Cafeterias in the 50's and 60's were an important way for families to dine out economically, and go to for the Sunday after church dinner. I visit Cleburne as often as possible, and my wife and I still reminisce about the matriarch at the register who could calculate everyone's bill in her head as they showed up to pay. Such wonderful memories. But as a person who has done fried chicken for decades, creating The Fried Chicken Blog (www.thefriedchickenblog.com) to document the fried chicken picnics in the German Czech communities of central Texas, and having fun with many different fried chicken recipes, I read his response about his chicken being one of the "best in the country," with amusement; so I will leave it up to you. Look at the photo of the dry, fried chicken on JUne 15, 2026, and then compare it to the photo I have just added for what I think fried chicken would look like at the best places (One example would be Barbecue Inn on Crosstimbers). There are some tricks to fried chicken. That is, once you decide on which traditional method you choose to go with. Example of one such: The batter of course, where you add a little moisture into the flour before the dipping and frying so that pieces of the wetted flour clump and will be picked up. Getting back to the Cleburne recipe. My guess is that this is one of the classic Southern, dredge in flour and pan fry, but not a buttermilk soak, dip, dredge, redip, dredge, fry method. This one is more akin to the classic skillet fry method and a simpler flour coating (I'm guessing). Which can be really good. But for me, I'd say, pass on the fried chicken and go for one of their other entrees.
