    Grilled chicken with rice. Substituted veggies for hand cut fries. Loved the fries.
    Bryan A.

    My expectations of food are based on this is a hotel late lunch time. Chicken was good. Service happens before , during and after the meal which sets my mood and changes atmosphere. Bartender/ waitress was super nice. Asked multiple times how I was and gave plenty water refills. Service makes all good food taste better.

    Staying close by at the Fairfield Inn we decided to check this place out. It's part of the Holiday Inn. It's a hotel lobby restaurant. Has a full bar with happy hour pricing. The menu is pretty good. Wife had the chicken wrap and I had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were very delicious. Service was great. Our server was very attentive.

    First warning: they are not open 24 hrs. They open till late 12pm but close intermittently after each meal segment Breakfast is only till 10am then they close the doors They reopen for lunch, close, then reopen for dinner. See pic for schedule Surprisingly good for a restaurant inside a hotel. This one is inside the Holiday Inn by the airport Buffet is set up so you can't say no. The price totals almost $16 that includes tip 15% And taxes The menu is no cheaper to order and it's the wait that kills you so they get you there Btw I saw a server taking food from hot buffet section to customer at table so it is not all made fresh when you do order There is someone cooking special order omelettes and eggs at the buffet Typical breakfast buffet but one grade up for healthy choices like grits, hot oat meal, yogurt, nuts for condiments, etc Less star for not all food is hot Lots of staff around and fast friendly service. TIP: If you have a voucher from the airlines be sure and bring your money or credit card with you from your room. You pay first before they let you order or eat. No charging to your room either

    I had breakfast at the blue dixie kitchen. The menu is simple and offers a variety of breakfast items. I chose the omelette and I asked for every ingredient listed in it. It was cooked perfectly and delicious and the potatoes that accompanied it were crisp and very good as well! It was a solid omelette overall. If you're staying at the Holiday Inn and want a decent breakfast then for sure visit the Blue Dixie kitchen especially since it's connected to the Hotel! Maybe next time I'm in town and staying I'll go for lunch or dinner?!

    This is attached to a Holiday Inn and has a bar with several TVs on with sports. Comfortable and staff was nice. Small menu. My wife got the turkey wrap which was a decent size but had one thin slice of turkey on it. Supposed to have avocado but there was none. Essence of aioli mayonnaise barely could taste it. I had a Reuben with very little meat on it but more than my wife's turkey, the problem was it was roast beef not corned beef! Sauerkraut was on the side along with a side of mayo. So there isn't a lot nearby that is open on a Sunday evening but if u have to eat there don't expect much. Maybe the burger would be ok

    This was the best part of our stay. The staff was friendly, fast and the place was clean with great ambiance. We had both dinner and breakfast here. Kids eat free here, or atleast for the breakfast part. The plates for dinner were very generous portions. My Mushroom Swiss Burger was fantastic and done just how I asked, medium well. Often places can't get this right and usually under or over cook. But they nailed it, and were generous with the flavor, Swiss and mushrooms. They also give you a good amount of fries on the side. I was not able to finish mine. But it was hard to stop eating. Both the lady who helped us in the evening and the gentleman in the breakfast rush were very attentive. The place was packed both times. So I was impressed. Also, the hostess at the front was such a sweet lady and made us feel right at home. I really liked the decor that gave it the feel of a rustic cabin with its antler chandelier and stoney and wooden textures and earthy toned walls. The bar area was gorgeous as well. I would definitely return to try some of their seafood. Overall, just a great variety on the menu and a spectacular job from the staff.

    Suffice to say, I read almost all the reviews on here prior to sharing this experience (still…read morelooking for this restaurant on google, which is where I typically write all my reviews - good/bad). Let me start by saying that Jamie the server is exceptional at what he does and is 95% of the time doing it by himself. That being said, he gets my grace and he always aims to please his customers in my opinion, even if it takes him some time to accomplish it, and that I believe customers value generally. The food here was always good in my opinion, especially for where we were. When he is not around, I guess you could say "all hell breaks lose". There is a female that works here on the weekends and she is horrible, if that is any way to describe the most horrific restaurant experience one could have. While it is clear that most of these reviews are a few years back, mine is quite recent (March 2026). I give people the benefit of the doubt and it was my 2nd experience with her that did it. As I always say, when people show you who they are, believe them. She sucks and she does not belong in "any" environment that has customer service as their goal because she knows not what that is. When I walked up to the bar to place my order, 2 other females that I am familiar with were sitting there apparently waiting on her to serve them as well. She acknowledged me with an attitude after I nudged her (because I was standing there a while and was being ignored). And yes, she was very present on the cash register doing I don't know what, that could have been more important than serving waiting customers. Once enough time had passed, I exchanged words with the other ladies waiting, only to find out that they too had been sitting for a significant period of time waiting on her. Once I made it clear that there was no reason for me to wait 40 mins for a glass of wine while the server was present (because this particular evening, that's all I wanted), I walked away, and they did shortly after as well. A few minutes later, in reiterating my experience to another party, I was told that 4 other persons walked away from the restaurant a few hours earlier because of her. So in total, that day (it was a Saturday), this restaurant lost the business of at least 7 people (that we know of) because of 1 bad employee. As a business owner, that smells like defeat. I hope the owner sees this and gets rid of her. I am not one quick to see people lose their jobs for any reason, actually I am quick to beg an employer to let the employee keep their job, but not this time around. She belongs behind a closed door where she has zero contact with the outside world. Despicable. The reason I'm just now writing this if you're wondering, is because I just left a very popular busy restaurant and the service, ambiance and food were all top notch. So I came on here to write a god review for them, then I remembered this bad experience.

Whether you're looking for healthy, gluten free, comforting, unexpected, or any food in between they've got it. It was nice to see breakfast offering, specifically avocado toast, along with other classics, however, this is not the spot if you're in a hurry (atleast it wasn't when I visited). On the plus side they do have a counter and table seating and offer a QR code to "skip the line" if you prefer not to engage with the tap to order screen but neither option helps the staff work any faster. Would I order again based on the quality I received? Probably not. The product I ordered looked nothing like the one represented on the tablet. The baby spinach was wilted and overall the toast could use some additional seasoning (salt specifically). I've yet to master the perfect IAH breakfast, but I hope this was just a one off experience because traveling quite a bit, I'd love to have a reliable breakfast provider :)

Hippo Burgers popped up on my Yelp search and was not too far away, so I bookmarked it. Could have went to the Popeyes near by, but I really had a taste for a burger. Reviews were solid, so I figured why not?! Drive was bumpy to HB, but that is typical for the Aldine area, so drive carefully! Parking lot was plentiful even during lunchtime, but I did arrive just before 11:30 so I may have missed the lunch break traffic. Still about half of the restaurant was filled up. The menu is straightforward and outlines the ingredients on the burger. Desiring a burger with bacon, I ordered the BLT Burger- without mayo added mustard. You will find that the burgers are not too overly inclusive with a bunch of toppings but include one ingredient that makes it unique enough to make a statement (i.e. bacon, mushrooms jalepanos...This gives HB time and focus to make an oustanding meaty and flavorful patty to showcase their burgers which gives it that homemade burger vibe. Plus the order came out quick! Portion size was generous and worth the price. Very tasty burger that will keep you full the rest of the day. I cannot forget the fries, which came out fresh and hot. A pinch of salt- just how I like them, which was the deciding factor for me to eat at HB versus driving back to training and risk my fries getting cold! I gladly indulged in every single bite of my burger and fries. Plus, I love that they have Pepsi versus Coke beverages. They sell one cup size for fountain drinks. Dining in? free refills! I also liked that the tables are spaced out and give people room to eat. Tables provided plenty of paper towels as well as you sink your teeth into your burger and possibly get a little undignified. No one will blame you. Good food deserves to be devoured and I most certainly will be back again to indulge accordingly.
