Instead of buying birthday gifts that might end up tucked away in a closet, I thought--why not step…read moreout of the closet and try something memorable? A cooking class for a close group of friends turned out to be the best idea ever. Chef Mary Bass welcomed our lively group with open arms and matched our energy perfectly. She embraced the laughter, encouraged the conversations, and truly brought everyone together. Her cooking instructions were clear, fun, and easy to follow--each of us made fresh, homemade pasta right from our seat at the table! If you're looking for an unforgettable, interactive experience, we highly recommend Chef Mary Bass. She doesn't just teach cooking--she creates joy.

Love love this place!…read more I have 2 kiddos and 1 more on the way and both my husband and I work full time. To be able to pick up a meal, that I feel is reasonably priced, so that it takes the meal prepping time out of our hands is a huge help. And the food is delicious!. I love that when you go they do have samples out so you can taste it but I will warn you ahead of time. If you didn't come to get that dish that sample will change your mind and you will be walking out with it. Haha. I love that they have Monday deal and sale Saturday. So there are opportunities for a discounted price. If you don't follow them on Facebook then I highly recommend that you do so you can see what they have available each day and maybe snag a deal. I happened to see their Monday deal where I got 1 large entree and a choice of 2 items either a garden salad, bread, or a side for $22. See a meal you like that week or upcoming week and not make it in...then call ahead to reserve, have them place it in the freezer for you, and let them know when you can pick it up. So easy! I just got diagnosed with gestational diabetes so having the low carb options has been amazing. Now they don't have nutritional facts for you to see how much carbs and protein but if you are like me and have room to experiment with your blood sugar levels then this is worth it. Even my kids love the low carbs meals so it's a win all around. The store is in a shared shopping space but I've never had issues with parking. It's been easy to get in and out. They do have dessert options and one day will get to partake in it. I know I mention just the meal pick ups but they cater also. I haven't had to use that option but keeping that information in my back pocket for when I might need to cater food. Staff is friendly and have been able to answer my questions. Don't sleep on this place! Take some stress off of your meals planning and busy lives and grab some meals.

I just catered breakfast for a family event with 20 people and spend $442 (including tip/delivery)…read more The food was mediocre and the portions were so small. I ordered "The Convention" breakfast which was "Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Breakfast Potatoes and Buttermilk Biscuits" - it came with literally 20 tiny sausage patties and biscuits total. So one tiny sausage and biscuit per person. I didn't count the bacon but it was a similarly stingy portion. No one had more than two pieces. The eggs were bland. The potatoes were actually good. But overall, it was so embarrassing to have the food show up and it be these tiny trays of hardly any food for over $400. I would have been better off ordering individual dishes for each person from a local restaurant. I thought with the high Yelp and Google reviews I saw, this would be a safe bet! I also ordered a 20 mini pastries for $3.25 each which were like pastries you get at a 7/11. At least if you are overcharging, let the food be good and not like you unwrapped pastries from a Costco haul. Worst of all was the coffee which was watered down and disgusting. Everyone threw theirs out so I just dumped it. What an utter waste of money. Also they only sent 8 cups with the coffee even though the breakfast was for 20. Stingy and bland all around. If you are catering for a small group, please save yourself the trouble and embarrassment and just order takeout from a local restaurant. I wish I took pictures of the spread but I was just too upset. All I took was the coffee which you can tell even from the picture was watery. ***The menu listed the items but didn't say only 1, 1oz piece of bacon per person - that's absolutely absurd for a normal breakfast portion. Who would cater one piece of bacon per person?

In May 2024, I volunteered to hand out lunch boxes at Lena's Kitchen somewhere in SW Houston. Fast forward to now, I learned about this location and at 99 Ranch Market in West Houston. It's my goal to visit that location this summer. Coming to this location was a little tricky. I had to park on the top floor of the garage. I couldn't believe how friendly everyone from valet person to security guards to the moment I walked in. The employee gave me a quick introduction to the menu. It's fairly simple and I grabbed the lunch combo option: grilled chicken banh mi and vegetables potstickers. Everything was delicious including the water infused with cucumber and lemon. I'll bring my foodie friends over one of these days. Yeah. I'll be back.

I loved the food and munched on it like a starving kitten. Pandemic hits and it severely limits my ability to go to places, but I still had the old flyer. I called the order in ahead and ordered a shrimp poboy for myself, a fish one for my husband and a chicken pasta for my mother. First things first, as its technically a catering company and due to restrictions with dine in service in Fort Bend County, I don't know if the inside will ever be meant for dining service. It seems it's meant mostly for pick up, but on the other hand restaurants are operating differently with the pandemic, so I can't say for sure. Now the food. Portions are huge. Our poboys were large enough that we split them to taste the other person's meal. I felt they were some of the best poboys, I've had. Probably the only better ones are the ones from New Orleans and that's high praise as it's New Orleans influenced dining. If you want to know, I think the fried fish poboy slightly edged out the shrimp poboy. I felt the taste of the shrimp at times got lost, whereas the fish poboy and all of the other components were balanced. However, it's such a slight difference in terms of taste, that you're not losing out if you're eating the shrimp poboy. But if you are eating with someone and they don't mind sharing, I do recommend swapping half your poboy. For my mother's meal, as a picky old lady, she was content, and that's rare. It was a lot of food, it came with vegetables and corn bread. She ate it and didn't complain. To me that's high praise. The only real "knock" as that while the bread pudding is good, I know you can get better bread pudding elsewhere. Also, as it seems to be a start up business, drink options are also limited. However, I think with time there will be more drink options/ As for the bread pudding, people are either going to agree with me or not. It's still good, but I don't think that's the highlight of this caterer/restaurant. The main dishes are what makes this place unique and I'd come here for those dishes or consider this place for events like weddings and bigger parties. The food is good enough to make everyone happy and if it's for a wedding or birthday party it's not like you'll need their dessert as wedding/birthday cakes tend to be ordered at bakeries. Definitely try it, and send me a note if you agree.
