    Buffalo Burger minus the bun

    The food was top there. I highly recommend the buffalo burger and the queso and chips. Our waiter was personable and efficient. The wait time for the food was acceptable and the atmosphere is very friendly. Great location!

    Newport chicken sub fries

    Maybe a 3.5 stars. Had our team lunch here again. It's been a year or so but someone suggested this spot. Normally I get their chicken Alfredo but staying away from carbs as much as possible so opted for the Newport Chicken (grilled chicken topped with ham and cheese). I opted for a salad instead of fries and gave my friend the apple cinnamon that came with it. My only issue was that the waiter never told me there was an up charge to sub, just asked if I wanted a side, Caesar or wedge. I opted for the wedge. If you aren't a fan of blue cheese, make sure to let them know. Not familiar with wedge salads so assumed it came with ranch. Newport chicken: the piece of ham was huge while the grilled chicken was not. The chicken was grilled perfectly. The staff is friendly and fun and that made up for the $5 charge for the salad that was tacked on to the bill. Garage is still small. So for lunch get there earlier. The first level now has more reserved spots for pick up than the last time we came. Their mini brownie and ice cream is good but couldn't get it this time. They still have the yummy candy at the door.

    We had gone to the Children's Museum just next door on a Saturday afternoon, so decided to drop by here with the kids for an early dinner. Got seated immediately. It was our first time visiting this location, as we have visited thier other location several times. We ordered the Falafal burger split into two with sweet potato fries, Petaluma salad also split into two as portion sizes are large at this chain. And Mac & cheese for my daughter. Max & cheese was too dry and we found out from the server it is actually pre made from the Kraft box, so that was quite disappointing. Had we known about this earlier, we should have ordered a different pasta which they also offer for kids. Otherwise, all the other food was delicious. Service was amazing and love this location. Ambiance is nice. It is small though so it does get packed. Along with thier outdoor seating, they have games available including Jenga and a basketball hoop.

    Pulled pork sandwich. So MUCH food!!

    Ordered delivery at work. Arrived warm and the fries are SO good. Flavor was there on the sandwich and it was enough to feed a family of four

    Came for breakfast after walking Hermann park! It's open seating and very quick and pleasant service! I had the fruit and breakfast plate and great portion sizes! The food was cooked well and came out rather quickly! The ambiance is nice and inviting, they also have lunch and dinner, great stop in whenever in the museum district and also dog friendly

    Barnaby... this is a dog friendly place with pet menu

    Nothing more fun than finding someplace new! Located in the museum district, we saw people sitting outside under trees enjoying breakfast and coffee. Of course we had to try! Barnaby's is a local small chain, I think, that acknowledges those of us who don't have dogs but have revered 4 legged members of the family. With indoor and patio dining. Barnaby's has a menu just for our dogs. There is an outdoor play area to keep the young and the young at heart entertained while awaiting. When my green eggs arrived, WHAT???? Looked better than the waitress, Eva, described. Baked spinach, artichoke dip egg scrambled. Do I need to say more? Nope A full self serve pot of coffee, fried potatoes, warm early morning. Wish we could have stayed longer

    Yummy breakfast and large portions! Solid spot for breakfast/brunch. Inside is very comfortable and there's a dog friendly patio as well. I appreciate the attached parking garage (first floor free for restaurant customers). Staff is very nice. Menu has quite a few options. Tried the green eggs, which has spinach, artichoke, and jack cheese- it's quite filling and savory! Love the potatoes, they are crispy and really hit the spot. Also comes with apple sausage and toast. The fresh orange juice is a must! All in all a reliable place to get some good food.

    "Best Burger I've had in Houston" - Hubby Chicken fattoush is straight up gas. I get extra chicken and it's amazing, then I have salad for the next 3 meals! Kyle was very on top of things and made sure we were well taken care of. The carrot cake is always a comfort.

    I went to Barnaby's for lunch with my wife. The food was really good. The customer service was great and the food came out pretty quick. We ate outside on their patio. The restaurant was nice and clean from the inside and outside

    Honey Baked Ham sandwich

    Not the best first impression. We just recently moved to the area and my husband's family was visiting us. Our party was large. We needed a high chair and we also had an infant in a car carrier... We unfortunately had to experience two locations. The first location we tried had us wait while they continued to seat smaller parties then proceeded to tell us they probably wouldn't be able to accommodate our group. They suggested we go to their other location. We packed everyone up and drove to their other location. The food was good and the service was better. I guess it's just one of those things where we felt a little unwelcome by some of the staff members, especially at the first location. I could be mistaken. The menu has a good selection of different things to try and the ambiance is very unique and cute.

    Barnaby's Cafe is a perfect place for post museum eats since its just down the road. Their menu has a great spread of choices and each location has its own unique flare of decor. We elected to get grilled chicken salad of which was able to feed me for another meal too. Look at the picture, its huge! We also got a burger and fries for the baby. I've also tried their falafel salad as well which turned out to be a banger of a meal last time. Their side of fries always comes out in a heap on a plate which I absolutely love. Barnaby's is also very kid friendly too. I guess if you're close to the children's museum, this makes total sense. My baby loves their food so you should too.

    This was a great easy cafe dinner option! We sat on the patio on a nice spring night and it was lovely, they even had little lamps at each table which was cute. We split the Mediterranean salad and a burger and it was the perfect amount of food. Our server was helpful with allergies, they have gluten free buns to substitute on the burgers!

    I've been wanting to try Barnaby's for a few years now and I finally made my way here with the group of friends. We decided to stop in after our 5K and grab some breakfast. We made it just in time as they stop serving breakfast at 11 AM. I love that this restaurant is dog friendly and that is one of the main reasons I will be back besides the awesome experience I had at this location. We were greeted immediately when we walked in the restaurant by essentially the whole staff everyone was friendly and welcoming. You have the option to sit inside or outside on their patio. Our survey was Bryce very attentive and make sure to follow up on our items as one of our friends wanted to order from the lunch menu so there's a little wait as they have have to turn over from breakfast to lunch. For my entrée I ordered the breakfast plate and subbed a pancake on the side. I had my eggs, scrambled soft with cheddar cheese add in order sausage as my protein. My eggs were clipped to perfection like I like, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the sausage links. I originally ordered grits as a side, but didn't know they were savory so I opted to switch them out with the potatoes and OMG those potatoes are so good. Very crispy and some of the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. This was a few of our first times here and we have already discussed going back and trying their lunch/dinner menu and bringing our dogs along. If you're looking for quick service in a casual setting, I highly recommend this place. Parking was easy as they have a adjacent parking garage.

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.

Off the Restaurant Weeks menu we ordered the Loaded Hash Browns in the Style of Potato Skins and the Trio Deviled Egg Trio for starters. The loaded hash browns were crispy, golden, and covered with a healthy amount of toppings especially the cheesy queso. The deviled eggs were just okay for me. They weren't your typical deviled eggs the filling was more of a mustard forward potato salad mixture. The three toppings on deviled eggs were very distinct from one another and each had its own flavor. For the main dishes we ordered the Peach Cobbler French Toast and the Breakfast Sandwich. The French toast was a little underwhelming. It wasn't made with the traditional thick cut bread and was more on the thinner side. It was loaded with toppings, but honestly the toppings overpowered the bread itself. Now the BREAKFAST SANDWICH was AMAZING!! I honestly wished I had ordered another one. I'm usually not a fan of English muffins, but the way this sandwich was made and assembled was PERFECT. From the toasted English muffin to the sausage patty, crispy hash brown, fried egg, tomato, and cheese!!!Every bite was so good! If they bring this sandwich back to the menu it is a MUST TRY! From the regular menu we also tried the Fried Chicken Crunch Wrap Supreme. It was okay. The chicken was hot and fresh, and even the dipping sauce was good. However, the Doritos were soggy, and for me, there was way too much cabbage in the inside. Overall, it was just okay. The Treasure Chest Frozen Flight is an absolute must. Not only are the drinks delicious, but they come with a cute little sparkler, which makes the whole experience a little celebration. The Saturn was my favorite. And of course, living in Houston, we all know Sunday = Sunday Funday! So yes, it was packed inside. They did have plenty of seating outside. Winnie's is seat yourself and order at the bar, and there was plenty of room to either share tables or stand around and wait for a party to finish so you could grab a seat. Overall, if you haven't been to Winnie's yet, you should definitely check it out! The breakfast sandwich alone is worth the visit if it makes its way back onto the menu.

Parking can be confusing if you aren't familiar with downtown because it's off Main St. There is a connected parking garage which you have to pay for; I think it was around $10, not sure if it can be validated because I didn't ask. When we came, it was super lively; they had a DJ playing and it was definitely vibey and a great place to start your Sunday Funday. The setup is: you pay, they give you a number, and bring your food to the table. The seating is open and they have a large patio area as well. We were there for HRW brunch which was 25 for 2 courses, but the menu had me excited as a seafood lover. I saw oysters and so many other foods I love to come back and try. I got the Trio of Deviled Eggs and my friend went with hash brown potato skins. For our main we had the NOLA BBQ Shrimp and Grits. She also got the Treasure Chest Frozen Flight, which comes with all four of the frozens they offer in a Treasure Chest with Sparklers which was perfect for her bday. Everyone was friendly; it was busy, but despite that a really good experience and I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.

I think they go a little overboard with saying that having food here is like traveling the world and breaks down barriers. I like the concept though. They could do more with the decor to give it more of a world traveler vibe. They definitely tried. They were playing American hip hop music, which does not fit the international theme. We got the three course dinner, which was $60 each plus tip. The food was good but did not feel like it was worth the price. For appetizers, we got the Mochiko Chicken and Crispy Pork Belly in Pasilla Sauce. We liked the chicken a lot, and it came with a sweet mango chutney and spicy mayo sauce. The pork belly was alright. It was pretty standard. For entrees, we got the Singaporean Shrimp Laksa and Nigerian Suya Skewers. I liked the noodles and curry, but the fish cakes were not that appetizing. The skin was much bigger than the meat inside, so it would weirdly inflate or deflate. The shrimp came with their tails on, so I got my hands slimy with curry. I did not personally try the beef, but I was informed it was a 3.85/5 and 4/5 with the sauce. The laksa was a decently sized portion, but the beef was quite the small portion with a few chunks and a bit of rice and tomatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the Orange Torta Caprese and New Orleans Bourbon Bread Pudding. I was kind of confused why the chocolate cake was called torta. It was very small but nice and rich. The orange flavour was strong. The bread pudding, on the other hand, was very big. Although it wasn't pudding. There was a large piece of the bread in whole form. It was delicious. I did not taste bourbon.

    Love this place! We've been here for a few times with friends for lunch and it always hits…read more The chips n dip come with a delicious Liberian Greens dip, slightly bitter in taste and incredible overall, with crispy plantain chips. We get this each time since it's so good! For the main dishes, we usually share the African Goddess salad with steak, Golden (my fav), Buka and the Aunty Mawa's. All the dishes come with some sort of rice and protein and you can sub or add as you please. Y'all the flavors on these dishes - it'll leave you wanting bite after bite after bite. There's nothing not good at this incredible place! Waitstaff is always friendly and welcoming and the restaurant has a great aesthetic!

    I revisited and had a great experience during their happy hour where their bowls are 1/3 of their…read moreoriginal price!! I got the black star and buka bowls, polo club suya, and special cookies and cream ($16). Both bowls (almost 1/2 size of the normal bowl) were delicious. The plantains in the buka were so good. The suya portion was a bit small but understandable - the meat was a little tough but flavor was perfect especially with the peanut spice. The cookie and cream - I preferred the coffee ice cream (obviously) and the spice and nuts gave it a nice kick. I don't think this was worth $16 but it was worth trying once. Parking is valet or you can do street parking (plentiful and probably 1-3 minute walk) Service - excellent! They do bring the tablet to you so you have to tip in front of your server. Ambiance - a bit too loud for my liking but I'm probably in the minority

It was incredibly busy but the restaurant was beautiful. A bit crowded because booths were shared across walls, but it wasn't much of a problem. We loved our food, my friends got the steaks and they were cooked perfectly. The dry-aged duck was incredibly sweet and flavorful with the rice. Would definitely come again :)

It definitely feels like the perfect place for a special occasion, date night, or whenever you're looking for a more upscale dining experience. The food was absolutely incredible, and the drinks were just as impressive! We started off with the smoked and dressed oysters. I love oysters and these were so fresh and delicate. We also had the octopus for an appetizer and this was probably the best octopus I have ever tried at a restaurant. For main course I had the blue cheese ravioli ribs and the flavors really complimented one another with the fig. We also had the Duck dish and it was excellent. Apparently these sell so fast that people call ahead of time to reserve! Our wait staff was exceptional and very attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful without being overbearing. I ended up ordering based on several of their recommendations, and they did not steer me wrong! Everything they suggested was delicious. I will definitely come back to Bludorn!

    20/10. Every. Single. Time…read more I don't even look at the menu anymore. Fried AND grilled pork chops, cheese eggs, and potatoes. That's my order and I'm standing on it. The pork chops are the star. One fried, one grilled because why choose? The fried chop has that crispy, seasoned crust, while the grilled chop brings a completely different flavor. Cheese eggs always hit, potatoes do exactly what they're supposed to do, and somehow the whole plate comes together every single time. I've been to The Breakfast Klub more than once, and consistency matters to me. They have never missed. Some places you visit when you're in town. This is one I make sure I get to when I'm in Houston. 20/10. Palate don't lie. ‍

    We grabbed breakfast at The Breakfast Klub this weekend, and it was one of the best meals I had in…read moreHouston. My daughter had the sampler platter with eggs, bacon, sausage, a biscuit, and grits. She loved everything on her plate (especially the biscuit!) but was very underwhelmed by the grits. I had them too and they were pretty bland and needed to be a little less thick. That said, the portion sizes are nice! One meal was plenty to split for my 2 kids. My husband and I split the Katfish and grits along with the red velvet waffles and chicken wings. The catfish tasted great, though it got a little soggy from everything else on the plate. The red velvet waffles were delicious, rich, flavorful, and a hit with my husband and I (and then my girls who were eyeballing my plate.) The chicken wings that came with them were crispy, seasoned, and hot, which is a winning combination. Needless to say, I would highly recommend stopping by! And a quick tip for anyone visiting: try to get there before 9:00 AM. I've heard that it gets lively and crowded fast, but going early makes it much easier to get a table.
