I rarely crave a salad for a meal, but whenever I go to Salata, it's always a good decision. The…read moreingredients are consistently super fresh, and the salads are genuinely delicious--not the "I guess this is healthy" kind, but actually satisfying. They offer several protein options (à la carte, with an extra charge), which is great if you want to make it a full meal. The regular-size bowl is huge, so you definitely get your money's worth, though fair warning: once you add protein, plus tax and tip, it can come out close to $18. This Salata location off Wirt and I-10 is clean, spacious, and well-run. I've never waited more than a few minutes to order, though I usually avoid the peak lunch rush. Everything feels efficient without being rushed. Quick PSA for anyone planning a visit: they do not open for dinner on Sundays--they close at 4 pm. Learned this the hard way once when we walked almost a mile in near-freezing weather (for exercise, not necessity!) only to find it closed late Sunday afternoon. We were sad. Luckily there is a BuffBurger next door so we didn't so healthy that day. :) All that said, Salata is hands-down the best place for a solid, reliable salad. If you're in the mood for something fresh and filling, this spot delivers every time.

Lunch rush can usually feel hectic, but the staff here worked at their own steady pace while keeping such a positive attitude. I was really happy with the portion size of my salad and how quickly everything was ready. In and out, no hassle... just how I like it. The salad? Never a disappointment. Ever. It was amazing. Pairing it with a wrap made it even better.

The service is quite good with the server back-and-forth frequently, but not so frequently as to be bothersome two business transactions. The ambience is absolutely wonderful. There is a patio. I did not sit at it, but it is certainly there unavailable, which is a wonderful option. The menu is eclectic. I had simply a wonderful salad, completely vegetarian, but very, very fulfilling and in my opinion a wonderful option. I would highly recommend Barnabys for the service the Price, the ambience and the food.

HUGE portions, so definitely be careful ordering if you're not super hungry! Our waiter was so sweet. The place always looks so bright and cheerful. I also went to another location about a month ago and had a great experience there too. Last time, we even brought our puppy with us, and they had a special puppy menu, our puppy loved it and ate every bite. Barnaby's never disappoints!

If you don't have very many locations aren't exactly established yet in the city you're trying to plant in, and a patron comes in and says it's their first time, some recommendations and signature dish items would be nice to hear. There were a lot of staff on this Sunday afternoon, but didn't really see there was much effort into the overall experience. The food station was dirty and messy, there were gnats flying around our food where we were sitting, and when we got our zeppelins, it was drenched or drowning in the dressing and th overall sandwich was overly salty because of it. I ordered the Mediterranean Cobb and held off on the blue cheese and subbed feta. The grilled chicken literally was so chewy and tasted like rubber I had to spit it out and then pick the rest of the chicken out, this place is NOT cheap. Quite pricey for a large sub stuffed with a salad. If you're paying $15 for a sandwich, you expect to get quality ingredients. The chicken was not edible. Staff just stood around and would chit chat, not really attentive or maintaining the restaurant very well. I'm willing to give it another shot maybe and try their salad...but I'd heed on the dressing and ask for it on the side.

So this has been all over TikTok for me and I have been craving it!!…read more Finally, a location in Houston by my place in Memorial. So I have tried the regular Caesar sandwich and the cojito- def love the cojito it's a bit of a Tex-Mex Caesar salad taste. Either way what they do is with the bread they pull the inside of the bread out and fill it with a salad, which is a sandwich portion so they don't open the bread up and slice it. This makes it kind of like a baguette situation love the idea so fresh and so crunchy! I need the app. They were so sweet inside that we got to try the tea before we purchased.

Eat, Drink, HTX…read more Made a reservation for a Sunday night dinner for three. The restaurant is so cute and cozy with tables and booths. Lots of TVs to watch the Olympic Games while you wait for dinner. I liked watching the open pizza oven. They make a lot of pizzas here. The Eat, Drink, HTX menus are a great way to try new restaurants while giving back to the Houston Food Bank. A starter, an entree and a dessert. $25 for dinner. So many choices on this menu. A great deal while helping out those in need. "Started" with the Turkey Samosas. Four crispy pastries that are filled with seasoned ground turkey, potatoes and parsley served with cucumber yogurt. Delicious! The Ember & Greens Soup that my family had was hot, hot, hot and so tasty. The fresh soup was filled with a blend of spinach, parsley, and cilantro with chickpeas, caramelized onions, pinto beans and quinoa. My FIL polished off his bowl! For dinner, we all had the Blackened Salmon. The salmon with lemon butter and avocado salsa served on roasted carrots, broccoli and potatoes and a bed of quinoa. It was a full plate, which we all took home for dinner the next day. Note: it is quite buttery. My FIL had his butter and avocado salsa on the side which worked for him. I loved mine as is. Even though we were pretty full, we still enjoyed dessert. The tiramisu was so indulgent. Loved the layered mascarpone custard, whipped cream, coffee liqueur and coffee-soaked ladyfingers. My FLI had the Chia Seed Pudding with fresh berries. What a great meal. We had a slight hiccup where the appetizers came slightly after the main meal was served, but they were so honest about what happened that I still have to give them five stars for their food and their service. Would try them again for their generous, delicious meals. Lots of parking. Water glasses were frequently filled both with and without meals. Thank you for a really nice Sunday night dinner with family.

Ember & Greens is a nice little restaurant with in door and outside seating. The setup inside…read morewasn't what I was expecting, but it wasn't bad. It was a beautiful day, so it would have been the perfect day to eat outside if you like that. I'm an eat indoors kind of person, but if you like to eat outside, they do have a few tables for that. I was meeting a friend for lunch and she suggested Ember & Green. We really couldn't decide what to order, so we decided to order a few things and share them. We started off with the Persian Cucumber Sald. It had Persian cucumbers, heirloom cherry tomatoes, red onions, and Kalamata olives with oil and lemon dressing and topped with parsley and feta cheese. Let me tell you, thats lemon dressing was delicious! It went so well with the cucumbers. Next we ordered Blackened salmon with lemon butter and avocado salsa, served with charred broccolini, roasted carrots and potatoes on a bed of cilantro green pea quinoa. I'm really not a huge fan of salmon, but I'm trying to like it more by trying it different ways. The spices that they put on the salmon were really good, not too spicy, but also, not bland. It was also cooked perfectly. Oh, and that lemon butter... that lemon butter made the meal if you ask me. It was so good. So good in fact, I had to try and make salmon with lemon butter at him the very next week. Mine didn't come out as good as Ember & Greens, but it was decent. That just means that I need to leave the cooking to the professional. For dessert we decided to share the Skillet Cookie. Its a house made chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with Amy's Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream and chocolate sauce. This was the only thing that we ordered that was a nope. I dont know what happened, but it didn't seem like it was cooked at all in the middle. We took a few bites, that was all we could eat of it. All and all, it was a good experience and I will go back. I'll just skip dessert next time.

My friend got Forbidden Rice and almost every time she ate it she said " this is so good and tasteful" and I totally agree. She got the chocolate pudding that is vegan she liked it.

The place felt like a breakfast joint since they had the breakfast nook seating or like banquette seating. I got calm comforting vibes here. Salad The salad was fresh and was filled with kale. The Volume of the salad was pretty loaded. Stir-Fry Noodles with Chicken It had veggies, chicken, mushrooms, peppers, and cashews. The bowls flavors were balanced and it did not taste like a Chinese stir fry more like a healthier version of it. I will say the portion size was normal it wasn't overly huge or too small. For the price I did wish it had a little more.

I was greeted and well served so shout out to their staff members who were very pleasant. I received phenomenal service where everything was brought to me in a fashionably and timely manner. It was a very soothing experience in the music selection was wonderful as well. I overly enjoyed listening to the tunes while I ate. I would've loved to have sat outside, but it was cold that day. Nonetheless, the only reason for a four star was because I wasn't really WOW'd by the food. The deviled eggs were OK, but I felt as if they had a tougher texture. Along with the chips being a little bit overly greased (quite a bit of oil was still sitting in top of them). The meatball was just OK as well. Now I will say the wine was refreshing! I just wasn't really amazed by the food quality. I would still return to try some of their wines.

They warm the bread, remove the inside and leaves the crispy outside to fill in with salad. Their salad recipes are good, especially the southwest one with avocados and black beans. Substitutions seem welcome and you get to choose your own sauce. Of course, let's not forget they offer Zapp's chips, which are delicious. Overall great and filling meal. Oh, so many tables to sit alone or as a group. Great place to be ! Leaving satisfied and would want to come back!

I went here several months ago because my friend kept hyping up their version of a "spicy chicken…read morecaesar", and it was enough for me to place a to-go order and get up from my WFH desk to pick it up. I will say this flavor particularly was a 5/5 for me. It was exactly what I was looking for (carbs, spicy Caesar salad...not hard to please). However, I haven't found myself wanting to come back even though I drive past this area pretty frequently. If I did come back, I'd probably just order the same flavor again because it was that good. The Zeppelin is very filling though and kept me good for 2 meals, I just think nothing else on the menu appealed to me (other than the Spicy Tejano) enough to steer away from my go-to sandwich/bowl places if the craving for that type of food ever came. The staff were super friendly though and parking wasn't terrible. I can see why they chose the location since it is a great lunch spot for people in the area tbat want something quick but don't wanna run into the mall/opt for fast food drive thru.

I'd give it 3.5 if I could but I can't so I'll round down. It was not what I expected. Maybe that's…read moremy fault. I was in town for work and staying in the area. I wanted a pork chop or steak and saw this place and their pork chop. It looked great online. When I get there I ate at the bar. It was a coffee bar. Again- I should have done more research. So I was given a menu then I ordered the pork shop. And then the waiter said is that I and proceeded to give me my total. Another thing I have researched. It's counter service. Then I said I just wanted water. I waited for it and he said we have to help ourselves to drinks (later). So ok. Fine. Then later he told me they were out of pork chops. So I got the short ribs with the grits. The ribs were tender. They were tasty. The grits were good. The veg was good as well. I'd give the food a 4 but I would think, since they make their own pastries, they would make a bread to serve with dinner! But no bread so that drops it down a point or 2. I had ordered (pre-paid) for the bread pudding. It was good, legit bread pudding. The place itself is a coffee bar so it looks and acts like a coffee bar. Now to the coffee bar. Someone there ordered and espresso drink. They don't have a knock box and so he proceeded to knock out the very old puck into a trash can under the sink then rinsed it. Then the shot glass looked like it had been there unrinsed from the morning. Then as he proceeded to make the espresso- he had to fill the espresso machine (with tap water). Last- it was Aerosmith on repeat. I like them as much as the next guy, but how about some variety. I guess if I lived in the area I might go back to try their breakfast. Anyway- I ubered there and I wish now I would have just eaten at the hotel bar.

We were greeted and given menus. My wife likes Reuben sandwiches and I love and scour the planet for hamburgers. My wife ordered the Reuben and Rebecca with chips and pickles. She absolutely loved it and said it was the best Reuben since we left NYC 20 years ago. Like I said I am a hamburger aficianado. I will always take a burger over a steak. (not my wife, who thinks that is sacriligious). My bad was that I stopped reading when I read Cowboy Meal which was listed as a burger. It was an AWESOME looking plate and worth just looking at it BUT it was not a burger: it was a salisbury steak!!! I almost cried! On the plus side is that it had a lot of bacon!!! Was it tasty? Meh. Was it a juicy burger? No Way! My side was the smoked paprika salad which was very good. Leaving you walk past their desserts which even a blind person will stop in the tracks. I ordered to go a lemon bar which was very heavy and not skimpy and wife had their apple pie. They didn't make through the night!! The service was excellent and friendly. Will we come back? Absolutely for I want to try their burger. p.s. Really clean bathroom.
