    Didn't take many photos of the food but I had the BEST time at Chapman & Kirby. This was the highlight of my weekend trip! For one, the service was outstanding, we loved our server and got to chat with the owner. Everyone was sweet and attentive. It obviously gets busy on Sundays, reservations are highly recommended. Without this, we probably would've had hours long wait to get a table. With high demand, there are turn time limits on the tables as well. We had ours for about 2 hours which was plenty of time and got to walk around enjoying the outdoor day party vibes. The DJ and performers are great, playing old school to current music. My homegirls loved it. Our food was good! We especially enjoyed the Ceviche, it was refreshing on a hot day. The Chicken and waffles are good, grits, the crispy shrimp dish, and I got the BBQ plate which was filling. I liked the meat, it was tender. I wish the mimosa towers were bottomless but it's big enough for 4 rounds for 4 people, a decent size. Everyone had good energy and southern charm like I expected. Vibes were immaculate. Next time I visit, this is a must! What they say? Never leave Houston on Sunday!!

    This place has quite the reputation, as I hear the who's who of celebs come here to have a great time. I hear Sunday is the day to be here..FYI We came here on a Saturday afternoon and had a blast! The place to be is their outside area in the back. Drinks and hookah make for a good time out there. They have a lovely group of young ladies working the space to get you food, drinks, etc... The inside is nice as well...a good space! TVs all around so its a good space to catch some sports. Its a good vibe here!

    My high school reunion planned an event here at Chapman & Kirby on a Friday night and it was a great experience. We hosted the event on the private side of Chapman & Kirby and and was glad that we did. Our main bartender William was very helpful the entire night there was another young lady, but I can't remember her name. The ambience of the establishment was very nice like a typical upscale bar, the vibe fit just for the occasion. I ordered the millionaire variation cocktail and drink those all night. I had about three of them and I loved it. It wasn't too strong. It wasn't too sweet. It was a perfect cocktail for me hence why I ordered three. For food, Choices I ordered some egg rolls. I can't remember the exact name of the eggrolls, but they were pretty good a little spicy for me but overall very good for lounge food. Now that I think of it, they kind of reminded me of the southwest eggrolls at Chili's. Overall, my experience here was very good. I will be coming back with another group of friends and not for a high school reunion event but overall it was a nice experience.

    The ambiance and vibe was nice. The DJ played some good music. The food was pretty good. I had the Chicken and Waffles and a friend had the Salmon Cesar Salad. The portion sizes were decent. The service was also good and the prices were reasonable.

    Jalynn is the best server. Food was delicious. Oxtail and Gouda Gruts. Mimosa tower was fire!!!

    Would recommend

    I loved the day party vibes this place had! We arrived at 4 , got the table and stayed for hours, good music and good food! We ordered bites that were devoured in seconds! They had funnel cake fries fantastic!!! Would recommend!!!

    Everybody knows Chapman & Kirby for day parties. I've always come after brunch somewhere else and just get drinks here but this time I actually came and got food. Our service was actually great and the food was so good! The catfish and grits was perfect and the French toast and chicken tenders were so good together. The only thing that made me a little sad was that my espresso martini didn't come in a martini glass (first world problems)

    I thought Chicago/New York brunch but you definitely have not brunched until you brunch in Houston Texas! This was definitely experience! Bartenders were on point and helpful though there was a huge crowd! We came early and it still kind of packed. Great DJs.. so many places to sit/stand. You do have to get a table if you don't want to eat or stand at the bar. Most of the chairs/tables/booths were reserved for hookah and/or food. I suggest RSVPing and paying for the table. The price point was fair but note this is a tourist type of place but it's known by the locals at the same time. I definitely had a great time but wish we could've got a table.

    Houston doesn't miss when it comes to great food. This food was right on par with the catfish and grits. It was very flavorful and filling. The drinks were also good . It was very busy for Sunday brunch but the service was still good and the staff were great. The music for brunch was a real old school vibe. I suggest checking it out when in this area

    Buffet breakfast - waffles, eggs, chicken, potatoes, sausage, mini quiche, bacon, Bellini

    Attended the Queen Brunch and it was a fun time. The space was set up well for performances and eating. The buffet brunch was very good. I was self serve and I got my fill. The servers were on it with the drinks. They give you a chance to make change which I didn't know but was glad so you can tip. The performers were funny, beautiful and talented. It was a one time experience for me but I'm glad I went.

    The one table without a cover belonged to us :/

    I usually only leave 5-star reviews, but my experience at Chapman and Kirby was very disappointing. I came with a party of six, and we were visiting from out of town. It was raining, and we were seated at the only table without a tent. We were told the tent was broken and there was no backup. Everyone else had covered seating, but no one made any effort to accommodate us so we could eat or drink comfortably. To make matters worse, they kept our deposit even though they made no attempt to provide proper service. You would think a group of out-of-town guests would be treated with more care, but that wasn't the case. Poor customer service and definitely not what I expected.

    Chapman & Kirby! Was a good night out to end my trip! It was very nice and the dj was awesome! This is the spot to go to on a Saturday night and brunch Sundays is fun! It's very spacious inside and you can get a bottle/section if you want. I had a great time here did not want to leave. I did not try the food but it the options look good and they are known for a good brunch. I recommend here if you want to have a good time and enjoy yourself in Houston put it in your bookmark. Parking is scan and pay and can be $12-30 depending on how long you stay. The lot is right across the street from restaurant. -Marshay D.

    Brandon B.

    Easily one of my favorite spots in Houston. Great food, drinks, service and the brunch vibes were unmatched. I got the catfish and grits and not only was it amazing, I had enough food to eat--take a break--and then eat again. Chapman & Kirby, you'll be seeing me again!!

    Saturday nights are the the nights you need to show up a little early. The atmosphere at Chapman & Kirby is always stellar but Saturday night is the best

    I made a reservation for 4 at noon. Ample parking. We were seated within a minute of checking in…read more We received water without ice immediately after we received our menus. There were 2 servers that were assisting with the table. Both very nice and got our orders correct. I had to split the bill in a weird way and they followed instructions well. The restaurant is always nice and clean including the restroom. The restaurant has a lunch option for 2 items for $25. What a steal! I got the wedge salad because I love the smothered blue cheese dressing. I got the mahi mahi tacos. Tacos were a good lighter choice. I didn't realize that it came with fries. All delicious options and so many options for even the pickiest eaters. Always a good choice for a nicer lunch.

    Stopped in on a Thursday for steak night and sat at the bar. 4.5 stars, edging down to 4…read more Steak night itself is a really good deal, and everything we had delivered. The steak was cooked perfectly. It comes sliced with a sauce that's sort of like a nicer version of Heinz 57 -- very good. The smashed potatoes were better than you'd expect, especially if you can get a side of the onion ring sauce to put on them; it sets them off really nicely. The green beans were also very good. We added a small order of onion rings as an extra side, and they were some of the best i have had in a while. They came with some kind of ranch-type sauce that was absolutely phenomenal. I ended up dipping everything in it -- the steak, the potatoes, all of it. I also had their "steak night" old fashioned, which was a solid drink. The steak night plate is a great value. My wife and I actually split it -- it's a larger portion than you'd think, and you can add on shrimp if you want a little more. side note: The croutons on the Caesar salad deserve a mention of their own some of the best I've ever had. I don't know what they do to them, but they're exceptional. As for the spot itself: super nice location, very clean. The bar has a nice feel, with large windows where you can sit and look out to the street. All the food we had was top notch -- I'd give it a full five stars for taste and value. The one thing that knocks it down a little is the service. We sat at the bar, and there were two bartenders. It wasn't especially busy, but it still took a while to get drinks. The bigger hang-up was that I asked two or three small questions about the menu and the bartenders had no idea it was a lot of "I don't know" or "let me check on that," and then they never really got back to me. Not a huge deal, and they weren't unfriendly it just wasn't quite a five-star experience on that front. Highly recommend, would recommend and return.

    Is this the most overrated restaurant in Houston?…read more After being on my "To Try" list for an unacceptable amount of time, I finally made my way over to Nancy's Hustle. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar with no reservation. I arrived about 30 minutes into open and there was already a wait list. I suggest getting there early or making a reservation if you're not a solo diner. The interior is nice and intimate, with low lighting that doesn't work well for photos but definitely for a cozy dinner. The set up and music reminded me a little bit of 93 Til due to the decor. I started with the duck dumplings and the Nancy cakes. I wasn't expecting it but they offer half orders which is great for a solo diner who wants to try multiple things. Both items were delicious. The dumplings had a nice savory sauce with some texture from the peanuts. These were great but probably my bottom of the list which is saying something. I would only say this because they reminded me a lot of the hot oil wontons from duck and bao so at that price point, you might as well get more. The Nancy cakes were pillowy and savory and made a great vessel for honey butter and roe. I even used a bit to dunk into the leftover dumpling sauce. I suggest eating these as soon as they hit your table. I was trying to savor my bites but the cakes benefit a lot from being nice and hot. It's not the most ground breaking dish in the world but it's done well and I would definitely call it a must order. I could have eating a full order of it alone. My main dishes is where my mind was blown. I went with the roast chicken and half order of the gem lettuce salad and fries. This might be the best roast chicken I've ever had in Houston. Chicken can be a hit or a miss because sometimes, there just isn't much flavor. This was absolutely not the case here. The chicken was juicy and seasoned to the core. It even heated up well as left overs without being dry. The chili sauce on the bottom was flavor intensified and as I swiped my chicken through the pools of sauce, I thought to myself "overrated where?!". The gem salad caught me by surprise. I'm not one to stay away from a salad at a restaurant because they typically do them better than you can make at home . Nancy's Hustle solidified this opinion. The salad was wonderfully briney and savory. The lettuce was crisp and covered in the herby shallot dressing that grabbed my taste buds. Topped with anchovies and pancetta for a nice salty touch. So so good. The fries were the perfect side, crisp and not too potatoey (yes this is a thing). I traded in the aoli for some ketchup because that's just my thing. I concluded this wonderful dining experience with a dessert. Buttermilk ice cream with cornflakes, black berries and honey butter cookie. This dessert was a lesson in balance. Every component was present , sweet, salty, crunchy, cool. Each bite had something new to offer and combined into a perfectly executed dessert. As a cocktail, I tried their tropical drink. I don't remember what it was called but I know I could have drank about 7 of those. This was a great dining experience. I think when things get popular, sometimes we feel the need to be contrarians with our experiences. That wasn't the case for me. Nancy's Hustle has earned its popularity and I'll definitely be back

    I apologize for the low quality pictures but, everything was so good I couldn't wait to eat…read more Nancy cakes are a MUST TRY! The ricotta cavatelli was light and zesty and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. A phenomenal spring/ summer pasta parmesan & pancetta croquettes were crisp to perfection and are a must try if you're a cheese lover like me. Not pictured was their cocktail the green flag which was a 10/10! Service was out of this world. Our waitress was so kind and gave great recommendations! We got seated out in the patio and they have fans they can bring to the table if it gets too hot in this Houston heat but, the vibes were perfect for date night once the sun went down and the small table lamp turned on.

The staff is super friendly, and we were welcomed as we were (we had hoped to eat at a sister establishment but they sold out of what we wanted). Mimo's offers a great selection of Italian inspired apps, three well appointed pizzas, a few varied and surprising options for pasta dishes, and some mains. Items we tried: Pane - delicious Roasted Carrot Pizza - AMAZING, A little spicy, but definitely something we would order again. Pastas we ordered initially came out cold - our incredible waiter immediately corrected the issue. But from a flavor profile - Pansotti - sooooo delicious. You'd never guess that it was a vegetarian option - the mushrooms were so meaty. The delicate pouches with the spinach and ricotta were heavenly. Pappardelle - The lamb braised sauce had a depth of flavor that could rival any restaurant in Italy. My only tiny hope was that the pasta would have been served aldente, it was a little overcooked. But to each his own. Overall - really great. Would recommend. This would be great for a weeknight dinner or an off the beaten path date night.

Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.
