10/10 food. We came in on a weekday at 11am - within 25 minutes, there was lunch rush and immediate…read morerestaurant got packed along with parking. You order at the counter and seat yourself. First time here, prices are decent - got 2 burgers and 1 chicken sandwich, shared regular fries and a chili cheese fry. The burger my mom had was a bit salty - it was basically the double patty cheeseburger. The CHICKEN SANDWICH.... i would solely go back just for that sandwich!!!!! it was delicious. It's way better than chick fil a sandwich - the batter of the chicken and the crunch was amazing - tender too. The restaurant probably seats no more than 20 people and parking is tough - probably no more than 6 spots in the parking lot. You can probably park on the side of the road or across the street and walk over though. Restaurant was clean! Service was quick and the people were nice.

Chunk's Burger was a hit! Counter service was on point --…read more10/10. Had the #2 Bam Burger. Good burger overall, but I was hoping for a little more flavor in the meat itself (salt, pepper, garlic would've taken it up a notch). That said, the bun was excellent and the fries were straight fire . Still a solid stop -- 8/10 for sure!

Do yourself a favor and ask for Alexandira to be your waitress…read more I mean wow, I was shocked at not only how good the food was, but the service as well. Alexandria was prompt, attentive, and explained special dishes to us first-timers perfectly while also allowing us to enjoy our food and not feel rushed. My fiance and I both worked in the service industry once upon a time. We will definitely be back, for the food yes, but mostly because of how incredible Alexandria was. They allow dogs and have a reasonable "puppy menu" if your bring your pet and want them to eat with you.

From the jump, the hostess greeted and seated us quickly, and our server was absolutely fantastic--attentive, friendly, and on point the entire time. We started with Hibiscus Margaritas, quickly upgraded to a pitcher (zero regrets), and jumped into appetizers. The roasted red pepper hummus with parmesan crisps surprised me in the best way--really good. The Brussels sprouts and lettuce wraps were the clear standouts, an easy 10/10 and the main reason I'll be back. Some other apps were hit-or-miss for my taste, but that happens. The vibe was relaxed and clean, with a nice buzz once the Friday after-work crowd rolled in. The manager checked on us multiple times, gifted us their house-made potato chips (Chef's Snacks--crispy and addictive), and even gave us appetizer coupons after hearing we work at a school and were scouting a spot for a happy hour social. That kind of genuine hospitality goes a long way. Solid drinks, strong food highlights, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Lazy Dog definitely earned a return visit.

Having been around almost 20 years these folks understand cheesesteaks. They have a menu that…read moreincludes loaded fries, onion rings, chicken strips, burgers (including Vegan) and of course cheesesteaks. You walk to the front of the house where Angie immediately greets you with all the southern hospitality on the planet. Teams are smashing whole potatoes into fries and the place is BUZZING with activity. Clean including bathrooms. Food was ready faster than you can expect and steaming hot. First bite and you're like likely one of the best cheesesteaks I've had and I'm a fan of them. I did not get spicey but will be back to try it and possibly tomorrow. Toasted Kaiser roll crunched at first bite. Just an awesome sandwhich. So glad I found this hidden Houston gem. Now I have to work out an extra thirty minutes at the gym because this will be a once a week stop. Well done to this team. VERY IMPRESSED.

This was my second or third time visiting Tornado Burger, and unfortunately this particular visit…read morewas disappointing. At the drive-thru, the interaction felt rushed and somewhat dismissive. There was no greeting at the window, and when I requested an extra honey mustard for my 5-count chicken tenders (since only one is typically provided), I was told there would be an additional charge. I didn't mind paying because I wanted enough sauce for my meal, but the tone felt a bit irritated. After placing my order, I pulled forward to wait. A different employee brought my food and was very pleasant and courteous, which I appreciated. However, when I checked my order, the extra sauce I paid for was not included. I had to go back through the line to address it. The original employee did provide the missing sauce at that point, and her demeanor was more positive during that interaction. The main issue came at the end of my meal, when I found a hair in the bottom of my fry basket. That completely ruined my experience. Overall, I've had better visits in the past, but based on this experience, I'm hesitant about returning.

The meat taste fresh and juicy. I like the way it's wrapped so that you can hold it while eating it. The fries however are okay. They are not my favorite fries but I do want some fries with my order. The menu is very limited but if you've never been here they have a secret menu. The inside is like old fashion diner style, which gives you a nostalgic feel. You order at the counter and they call your number.

We got hongry, but not hangry and wanted to try something new. We had a few options and decided to…read moretake a drive (30 minutes) to come here and see what was what. It was hopping on a Saturday night, as they have a few other businesses in the same parking lot. Finding a spot was easy for me, but that's because I was lucky. The lot was packed and I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I'll take the win. Walking in the restaurant has outdoor seating, and indoor. A pretty good line when we walked in leading up to the door, but it went quickly. About half of the tables on the interior in use, but it was very easy to find a place to sit. Outdoor was about maybe 1/4 capacity. They have a pretty interesting menu, it definitely fits along the gastropub line. I was very tempted to do tacos and burgers but our goal was burgers and I stuck to it. I had the Brie and candied bacon burger. Was it messy? Yes, yes it was. Was it phenomenal? Yes, yes it was. With candied jalapeno, candied bacon, arugula and a fire vinaigrette, this was my favorite burger. The jalapeno was flavored but not spicy. For those who are adverse to heat. The vinaigrette really sets off this burger, on top of the medly of flavors. Cooked to juicy perfection, would 100% get this again. The gal went with the California Burger. Also an excellent choice, but I liked mine more. This one serves up sliced avocado, bacon, tomato, arugula, Swiss, and again, a house vinaigrette. Whoever thought let's make a burger more wet, you were right. That's why we have napkins. Both the truffle fries, and the onion rings sounded good. So we ended up just getting both. The truffle fries had fantastic flavor but it felt like we had the bottom of the bag. All of the fries were very tiny. It's like when you go out for fast food, and it's all the tiny broken pieces at the bottom of your fries. They also come with a nice dipping sauce. Highly recommend. The onion rings were fantastic, I really enjoy how they are battered. I served by themselves, they are delightful. The staff were excellent! They continued to check on everybody and make sure that they had everything they needed, they were busing tables left and right. Very proactive in keeping the place clean and getting seating turned around for the next customer pretty quick. We will definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu. They also have what appears to be an upscale joint next door of the same name with wine. That will also be a place that we'd like to check out in the future. Is it a drive, yes. Is good food and good experience worth the time and effort to get there, it absolutely is. Check them out. See what you think!

We were searching for chicken fried steak and had heard about this place. We were with native…read moreHoustonians and they had not tried Live Oak. It is definitely off the heated path, but not too far from central Houston. You order at the counter from the large menu, and one of the friendly employees will help you. Four out of the five of us had the chicken fried steak. There are two sizes available. These come with two sides. The onion rings are some of the best ever. The fried okra was exactly what we expected. The collard greens were well seasoned and exactly what Icc bc was looking for. The fresh house salad was huge with homemade dressings and pickled okra spears included. They also serve lots of burgers and numerous other entrees with lots of side dish options. I might also mention that the prices were quite reasonable considering portion size and quality. The ambience had everything from license plates aligned into the shape of Texas to singing and dancing Grinch. I would definitely pay a visit to this local establishment. I know that I will return next time I'm in town.

Cute place with a heartwarming backstory. Nice and busy for brunch on a Saturday morning!…read more I got the scrambled eggs with chorizo and onions and it was DELISH. Also came with a biscuit and jam, which were average - the biscuit tasted like it might have been from a box or mix rather than scratch? But not sure. My friend got the Oliver's breakfast which was a large portion, and she also got a blueberry pancake, which was packed full of blueberries and had a nice crispy edge. She also ordered hot tea and got to choose her tea bag from a lovely box, which was a cute touch. The only thing I might say is that the owner was a bit brusque/gruff. I understand being businesslike and I know customers can be a pain in the food industry, but his attitude was just not very welcoming I suppose. Still a good experience overall though! Glad to see Oliver's is doing well!
