I havent been back in awhile bc every time last year (2023) I show up for breakfast around 8am, the doors were locked. Today they're open at 8am. It looks like they changed things up. The restaurant is not open for breakfast but the cafe /pastry side is open and focuses on croissants with less coffee options. Prices are steep but the croissants are delicious. It's not something someone on a budget or diet can go daily. read more

We had friends in town this weekend and after a visit to MD Anderson we stopped in at W&M to enjoy a late brunch. After starting out slow with the service things turned around and the food was delicious. We started off with the Tex Queno...the Venezuelan cheese and cilantro sauce was yum! For our entrees we enjoyed the ragu bolognese, pork belly arepa benedict, Yucatán tostadas and the Caesar salad with steak everything was cooked perfectly. Seasonings and flavors were on point. We treated ourselves with a s'mores latte, capuchino and dessert (we couldn't decide so we got 4 and shared). Chocolate raviolis, bread pudding, carrot cake and the salted caramel creamaux...all 4 were tasty with the right amount of sweetness. We will definitely be back! read more

Food was delicious but I wouldn't pay $15 for a ONE tequeño again. My favorite item was the dough-knot (dessert). Make sure to eat them while they are hot. The pasión fruit mimosa was amazing. Service was good and quick. I will be back to try more items. read more

Checked this place out for brunch! Super cute spot. They have a bakery when you initially walking on a assorted variety. Then there is general dining area. There aren't any dedicated vegetarian or vegan options but you can build a plate, which is what I did! The sautéed spinach was fire! Perfectly seasoned. Unfortunately the pancakes were just mid. They were not hot when they came out. Breakfast potatoes were really good though. I ordered the tiramsu latte and they do have oatmilk for those that avoid the dairy like me! Overall this place is a solid brunch option! I would come back! read more

Another lovely adventure with the Pretty Girls Brunch group. As soon as you walk in there is a bakery fresh bread, danish and other items. I will say if you want to take advantage get there early. I waited for after brunch and it was too late a lot of items were gone. Out waiter was very helpful, there was so much on the menu I wanted to try but I could only choose 1. The waiter told me about his favorite CHILAQUILES braised shortrib + ancho chile mole + refried black beans + fried eggs + queso fresco + pico de gallo + fresh chiles + cilantro and he told me to add a avocado on the side. This was delicious, but for me it was an overload of black beans and the braised short ribs was a little fatty. That is just my personal preference. The cocktail we great hands down! This is a place you should put one on your list. read more

Nice atmosphere. Food was tasty despite being slightly overpriced compared to the quality. I don't think the chef clearly understood how risotto should feel in the mouth, but I know that's hard to do in a kitchen while trying to coordinate orders. ‍ All in all a nice experience. read more

I came here with my mom and sister for Houston Restaurant Week and it was definitely a delight. I had the Salmon Tartare as a starter, Mahi Mahi for my main dish, and Crème Brûlée. All of it was SO good. My mom and sister had the Roasted Corn Soup as a starter and they both said it was delicious. My mom got the Key Lime Torte for her dessert and that was also very good. It says online that it's a Peach and Brown Sugar Torte, but they must have changed it. Either way, it was tasty! When you first walk in, they have some tables and chairs by the counter where I guess they sell some of their pastries/desserts maybe... or for take out? I don't know, but those chairs are super comfy and I need to know where they came from because I want some lol. Regardless, I look forward to coming back and having more of their food. read more

HRW MENU! first of all, I already loved it before I walked in because it's located downtown and they had their own parking lot. Like, how awesome is that. Inside was very nice and modern. Plenty of seating. Ordered the margarita and it was quite strong and great! Got the charcuterie, salmon tare tare (very refreshing and the fish was pretty fresh), ribeye (I didn't taste much truffle oil, it was seasoning fine though) and ended with the creme brûlée (creamy and delicious. Had that beautiful crisp top from the brûléeing of the sugar). Would come back and try their regular menu and bakery items/coffee! read more

My 1st time at Weights and measures but I've been seeing this place many times before. I was very surprised to see food was very good and service was impeccable. Our server Myra is earning the extra star for this review. I'm not a big fan of hanger steak at all since it's chewing and poor quality of meat to me, but this got me good. The steak was very good. (And I'm super picky on my steak) Honestly I avoid choosing the steak bcoz I'm not a fan and very picky on it so my friend ordered it and I tasted. That was how I found out how good it was. My choice was the mahi-mahi and it was equally good too. Hats down to the chef. The desserts was ok but the coffee was excellent. Love the banana foster latte . We also bought some pastries on the way out. Since it was for bkfast time so most of the pastries were gone. If y'all haven't try this place out, it's recommended. read more

Surprisingly empty for dining on a Friday night. The drinks and food were pretty good! The appetizer dish we got was the Texqueno and was much better than we were expecting!! So good!! I got the carbonara and while good it was not what I was expecting, had a bit of a spicy kick! The cocktail I got (Venezuelan passion) was delicious but my only complaint is the bar took a very long time to deliver drinks despite there be no one there. Overall very good experience though! read more

The food is exceptional here! The drinks are also pretty great. I always love an espresso martini and theirs is decent! There's not great outdoor dining but the dining room is pretty and clean. Our waiter was very sweet and attentive at first. He wasn't very good at checking on us through out the meal and we ended up waiting for our check for almost 45 minutes after the table was cleaned. We'll be back for the food and vibes! read more

Came here on a Tuesday for lunch and it wasn't packed at all. We got there right in time before the lunch rush crowd. We ordered the W+M Salads. My friend got the salad with added shrimp as protein. I decided for no protein and actually really enjoyed the salad! I love that the salad has pomegranate seeds and toasted cashews. It added the perfect touch to the salad. Definitely love this place and the kind servers. read more

We are confused at how this place is only 3.5 star???? Great for us because it wasn't that crowded but we arrived. Try the Tiramisu coffee... WOW.... Had the cheese appetizer- delicious. Roasted carrot pizza was a good as Guy said it was. The carbonara amazing.... Vibe was exactly as we love... quiet and chill. We sat at the bar and the bartender was as nice as can be...

This was my second time here and it did not disappoint. Some co-workers and I did the Run in the park 19th annual race in the morning and worked up an appetite. We wanted something close by so I chose this restaurant. I was able to make reservations for 6 at 10 am with no problem through open table. When we arrived it wasn't too busy and we were able to sit right away and get some drinks going. I had a passion fruit mimosa that was really great! More champagne than juice which is how it should be. I had the steak and eggs which was also really great. The meat was cooked medium well, how I asked for it and it had lots of flavor, and came with some friend potatoes and a small salad. I ordered a side pancake and it was ok, it was a bit dry but I also did not put butter on it. I wanted to try the michelada because it's hard to find a place that makes their own mix with such perfection. This Bloody Mary/ michelada mix was more shell fish tasting, similar to Clamato, and it was good just wasn't what I'd prefer. Overall the service was great, food was great, and there was no wait or any difficulty parking. FYI they also have a bakery and make all kinds of yummy sweet breads. I did not get anything to go because I was so full but next time I'll be sure to get a danish or two for the road. read more

I come to Houston early to spend Christmas with the fam and they brought me to Weights and Measures for the first time 5 years ago and I've made them bring me back every year since then. GREAT food. GREAT drinks. Nice ambiance. Good service. Every year they've added something new and wonderful to the menu which adds to both the charm and excitement of W+M. I'm already excited for Christmas again. read more

Stopped in for lunch and it was a good decision. It's located right down the street from Houston Community College - Central, with a surprisingly decent amount of parking. We got in just before noon and it was quiet, almost as if they weren't open, but they were. There was only one other table filled but that changed quickly after we were seated. We got there at the right time. Things I ordered: -Iced toffee nut latte. It was delicious but mostly ice :( -Corn and zucchini fritters. They were really good. Light and flavorful. Order came with four. -Braised short rib sandwich. This was a surprise for me because I was expecting a barbecue-style sammy, but there was no sauce in sight. The short rib was good and very tender. Also surprisingly juicy! I didn't miss the barbecue sauce at all! The bread was interesting but tasty. The cheese was a little much for me so I scraped some off. Came with house-made chips that were light and crunchy. Everything was really good. I'd recommend stopping in for lunch. No idea what their dinner menu looks like. They also have a bake shop up front but there wasn't anyone there and the woman working the hostess desk never looked up from her phone so I didn't feel confident that she would be helpful :( read more

Excellent Food, Service, and ambiance, Patronized Weights and Measures (W+M) with a group for lunch during the week on two different occasions. The service was outstanding both times. The lighting and decor make you feel comfortable. The menu is expansive with so many choices. I thoroughly enjoyed the W+M salad and the Wood Fired Salmon Succotash. Portions were very generous. Everyone's dishes looked delicious. I am looking forward to returning. Reservations may be required. read more

Cute little brunch spot. I got the French toast and fried chicken which is a big serving, loved that. I had plenty of leftovers. They charged for extra syrup. I've also had a brisket or roast beef sandwich from here if I'm remembering correctly that was very good. They have some kind of policy about being charged for ppl who don't show up if you make a reservation. Even if some of you come they will still charge you per person for those that don't show up which is something to keep in mind. This was my first experience with that read more

Weights + Measures has been on my list for quite a while now. I finally stopped by on a weekday with a coworker for her birthday lunch. W+M is a bakery and restaurant all-in-one. They have a small parking lot but we were able to find a spot. Also, W+M is on Alison Cook's top 100 restaurants. Alison is Houston's top food critic and she publishes her top 100 restaurants every year. W+M has a chic, modern feel. Service was excellent throughout. Professional and friendly. But it's the food that really stands out in my mind. But before we get there, even though we were there for lunch, we were celebrating, so an adult beverage was in order. They have a creative list of craft cocktails and I went with the green goddess. Basically an alcoholic smoothie! I've never had avocado in an alcoholic drink so I couldn't pass it up. While bread service isn't on their menu, ask for some and you won't regret it. They are a bakery as well after all. In addition to the bread, we also tried the zucchini and corn fritters appetizer. An interesting mix and not greasy as you'll often come across with dishes like this. As you're starting to tell, W+M is all about fresh, high-quality ingredients. For my main dish, I had the grilled chicken pesto pasta. I love pesto so I couldn't pass this one up either. Another excellent dish. Since we were celebrating, we ended up going big with dessert too. We went with their dough-knots which are highly recommended on Yelp. They were alright but weren't up to par with everything else I tried. I can't wait to come back and try out their dinner menu! read more

Like other reviews say the carrot pizza is absolutely a must try! The cocktails are very good too!

Brunch was just OK. overpriced mimosas, sub-standard brunch entries, food was either overcooked or dry, and paid way more than expected compared to similar restaurants read more

They definitely focus more on their drinks than food. The food was just ok but the drinks were pretty good. The sangria was very balanced & refreshing. I also had a latte with Jameson Cold Brew which was a good energy boost. The General Organa is similar to a mimosa & has a really good after taste. The French toast is prepped at the beginning of the morning then reheated which made it super hard. Just gross all around. The sausage was probably the best thing, it's house made & flavorful. Eggs were eggs, pancakes were ok, lackluster. Now, the problem came with the service. Ashley was great & her energy started out really bubbly & I loved it. However, Seth was the complete opposite. He kept snapping at us & some of the staff. He got an attitude with us a few times for asking Ashley questions or other servers. Specifically saying "you can ask me!" with pure attitude & the energy immediately shifted from upbeat to tense. The servers around stop & looked at him confused as to the attitude towards us. One even made a comment "you should see how he is in our text messages." I told him he needed to watch his tone. I'm assuming he heard me because then he started back peddling on his energy towards us. Nobody was smiling anymore & I truly hate that. Not sure I'll come back because it doesn't seem like the right environment for my personality or energy. read more

New ownership kills strong brand. What began with high hopes for infusion of new energy has been a disaster. For years, Weights + Measures has been a staple of the brunch scene and an eclectic funky spot for dinner. Sadly, the new ownership, instead of revitalizing it has killed the energy. The new staff is unaware of the legacy. They've shrunken key dishes, like the carrot pizza by more than half while keeping the prices the same. More concerning, basics quality and higiene. Giving it yet another chance this past Friday, The bartender used the restroom, came out of the stall without washing his hands and proceeded to go right back to work pouring my wife a glass of water. We asked for a beer. We're told the taps were broken. We ended up leaving. So sad that the new owners have elected to kill a strong brand. read more

Fantastic midtown brunch spot. Came with a group of 7 for Saturday morning brunch (made a reservation). Service was excellent- Ashley took great care of us! For a drink, I got the sweet Caroline, which is a mock tail that's sweet and fruity. It's really delicious and I would definitely get it again. I ordered the roasted carrot pizza to share with my friend (Guy Fieri loved this on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives). It lives up to the hype! You can taste the orange juice from the carrots and the toppings all compliment the flavors so well. It's spicy from the chiles and so well seasoned from the dukka and soubise. The crust is also really tasty. Everyone at the table enjoyed their meal as well. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes, especially for happy hour! They have their own parking lot, which is pretty big and a huge plus! They're a bakery, so you could grab a pastry on the way out- cherry danish is excellent! read more

First time at Weights + Measures, and the experience did not disappoint! Started out with a passionfruit mimosa, which was PERFECT and one of their specialty coffee drinks (the coconutz), also super unique and delicious! They even had a Coco Puffs iced latté. We tried the cheese stick appetizer to start , which was a little overpriced but SO good (honestly, can't go wrong with fried dough and melted cheese), but the cilantro sauce was tangy and fresh! For my main, I got the pork belly arepa Benedict with a side of potatoes. The Benedict was SO good-- the pork belly was tender, and the chipotle hollandaise added a nice smokiness. A unique and delicious dish! Would definitely come back to try one of their breakfast croissant sandwiches, which also looked amazing. The service was friendly, and about as fast as expected for how large our party was and how busy it was. Only downside was that it was a little overpriced, but pretty standard with your regular semi-classy brunch spot. Overall, a solid brunch spot! read more

Great sandwich, great service, but I wasn't a big fan of the chips. I would much prefer the chips to have more flavor... Or really any flavor. It's a good meal for the price point, there was plenty of parking when I went, and the restaurant looks nice. If they could just up the chip game or give me an option for something other than chips this place could be a five-star. read more

Chilaquiles was very tasty however it was the only vegetarian option and I think at this point a restaurant should have a few options rather than just one. Another annoyance: this restaurant does not allow you to split the bill. I'm not sure the reason for this but again, it's 2022 and people who arrive as a party of several individuals should be allowed to split the check to pay their amount. Splitting the total over X number of people is not fair to those who would pay less on their meal. Also, your receipt does not show the breakdown in price by line item. So you pay a total sum but does not show the amount of tax included or an added gratuity charge if one was added. Pretty annoying. In all, a nice place with a nice ambiance but unclear and outdated payment options with limited vegetarian items makes me less likely to come back. read more

We actually had great service in the restaurant on Father's Day but dealing with the reservation was suboptimal. I was overcharged for changing my reservation within 24 hours. When I was decreasing the number I asked the hostess via phone and she confirmed I would be charged appropriately. The charge came through after we left and it was for the incorrect number of people. I called the restaurant and the hostess automatically said "it'll be fixed" without confirming who I was on the phone until I asked if she needed my information. Nearly a month later, unanswered calls, and contacting via their website and this has not been resolved. Very unfortunate as this had become our go to for large group lunches but I will not deal with their reservation process again. read more

I'm not clear on the connection of the name with the ambiance and food. They make a lot of the doughs and arepas on site, so I wish they would have played with that more in the atmosphere. They have good service but the food is hit or miss. Went for brunch and had a breakfast pizza -- crust was a 10/10: think an Asiago bagel. Unfortunately the pizza itself was more of a 6.5 because the eggs were undercooked for my taste. However, the pork belly arepas were tasty and I would recommend them to someone willing to try something outside of the traditional eggs Benedict. Nice place for mimosas and meeting up with friends. read more
