We had an early dinner at the Elm & Magnolia. We ate inside and, unfortunately, the ambiance did not live up to my expectations. I expected an upscale, warm, romantic, cozy atmosphere which was the description I read. The prices are upscale but that's the extend of it. The restaurant inside is a bar with some tables scattered around. It didn't exude a warm or romantic vibe. The pictures make it look like it's on a nice piece of land with great views but it's just on a street among other businesses and there's a yard area. We ordered an appetizer, which was tasty. I think it was crab rangoon, honestly I forget but I do recall it was good. My husband has chicken parmigiana and I had a pizza. The chicken dish was good. The sauce was good and the chicken was juicy. My pizza, while it tasted good and the ingredients were fresh, was burnt on the bottom. I also would've liked the spinach to be placed by the sauce and cheese so it could cook a bit instead of on top...it was a little dry. I'd say give it a try but definitely be prepared for a more casual than romantic dinner and a higher price point. read more

My favorite place to brunch the food is always on point fresh and flavorful. 25$ bottle mimosas with 2 juice mixes hell yes!! The restaurant is always clean, they play good music, you can watch Astros games as well the ambience is for sure a vibe ! Everytime I bring my girls here they finish their plates because the food is soo damn good!!! Beet salad, zucchini fries, chicken Parmesan, the chorizo breakfast tacos, lobster ravioli, I'm just working my way down the menu. If you love bread treat yourself and order it definitely worth the cheat day with the homemade garlic butter is the stuff dreams are made of. You'll never have a bad plate here I've been coming here since they opened and I love that they are always changing the menu. read more

A great escape and hideaway! Weather was gorgeous, beautiful, and perfectly suited for their large outdoor patio! Props to my sister for finding this little new restaurant in OTS (Old Town Spring) !! Can't take all the credit, but one thing we weren't expecting during our meal was trains passing through while we were eating. It was REALLY loud!! Squeaky, tootin' the horn, desperately needing WD-40 type of screechy sound, ha! Summer was our server, and greeted us with kind and friendly service throughout our dine in experience! She was super sweet and accommodating to us and was very patient while we figured out what to order! Parents! If you have kids, there's an outdoor lounge area and there's a soccer ball and plenty of room to run around while you eat and watch them within safe sight! :) a perk for sure! Now let's get to the good stuff! Food!!! We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts, the crab cake, the Tex-Mex Benedict, the crispy pork cutlet sandwich, and the lamb shank! Recommend you try their truffle fries and duck confit...they are popular but we opted to order other dishes. The Brussels sprouts were seasoned and baked well. The crab cakes were lightly battered and crispy. The mashed sweet potato with pecans that came with the lamb shank was not too sweet so it really complimented the dish well. I will say, the hollandaise sauce was a bit bland, and so was the rest of what was on the Tex-Mex Benedict...it flat lined in terms flavor for us. But the crispy pork sandwich was Delish! Best discovery and surprise of this place was their extensive and amazing drink list! They had "Hell or High" watermelon beer and it was love at first sight! I had only tried and seen this beer in Seattle at a local restaurant, and never found it anywhere in Houston until now. Made my day!!! All in all, food was great! Service was great! And weather was gorgeous! Can't ask for a better experience! Will definitely come back! read more

My friend and I came for brunch on Saturday. We had such a pleasant experience. The weather was a perfect spring day with a really nice fresh breeze! We ordered the island juice mimosas- suggested by Sabrina who we absolutely loved! For the food we ordered the Duck plate, Chicken & waffles, and a salad. Both were tasty!! We moved to a rosé which Sabrina ended bagging for us to take home. We also had a nice conversation with Zay. The entire staff here is awesome! I would recommend this place. Beautiful outdoor setting. It will be nice to catch the live music sometime! read more

I was visiting Houston, Texas, and my dear friend, whom I met at the Hobby airport around the baggage area, and here we were going to meet appropriately and in detail. I was very excited to meet my new friend from Houston. I love this world when strangers living in different states or towns open up and start a new friendship. Since we live in two opposite directions and far from each other, I asked her to find a place somewhere in the middle. She sure knows her town and suggested this place which is out of town if you are staying in the Houston Uptown area. I got there at Noon, and my new friend welcomed me with a warm smile. This was a lovely countryside drive, and so happy to discover this place. It was such a beautiful location with a big yard all around and lots of parking with indoor and outdoor seating. The best part is I don't need to do parallel parking in Houston, Texas. I live in San Francisco, so seeing many lands everywhere is overwhelming. As usual, I skipped breakfast, and we both were starving. Our server Issac was very polite and kind. He gave us the menu, and I asked him if he could suggest any signature dish. We ordered chicken n waffles with iced tea on a warm day. The food came out very quickly, and the presentation and quality of the food were out of this world. Omg, it was so delicious, full of flavor, juicy, and perfectly warm like it supposes to be. We enjoyed the food, service, ambiance, and location. I can't wait to go back with my family and try different things from their menu. I totally recommend this place as you will enjoy the location too. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The service was amazing and super friendly. I felt like I was back home at a local spot. The lobster ravioli did not disappoint. I was worried it would be too heavy but it was not at all. There were local patrons who clearly love the place. The outdoor space looked amazing, would be great when the weather permits. read more

We visited Elm and Magnolia again, this time with a large group. We hoped that we hadn't talked it up too much and that everyone would enjoy it as much as we did. They did! We had brunch outdoors and with the fans, it was a great temperature even though it was hot in the sun. Service was friendly, drinks were cold and the food was amazing! My husband had the duck and eggs which may sound like an odd combination but it was delicious. Others in our group raved about the chorizo tacos and I stuck with the chicken and waffles. Once again, it did not disappoint. Now, we just need to check them out for dinner! read more

If you're looking to experience dining in an authentic Texas town this is it. It's away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I went for brunch on Sunday morning when they first opened. They have a few items on the brunch menu, but you can order for the main menu. I tried the chicken and waffles. It was alright: one of the tenders were cold in the middle.. it was pretty new on their menu so maybe they hadn't gotten it yet. Aside from that they were very tender and juicy! They have $6 mimosas and "the set up" which is $25 for a bottle of champagne and orange juice. They have a large field with games where kids can play, and a stage for live bands. read more

Me and hubs enjoyed a light dinner here. Everything was very flavorful (especially the crispy duck which was devoured before we snapped a pic). We liked the ambiance.. the older crowd (everyone appeared 37+) was refreshing and the folky music was nice. Service was a bit slow but we enjoyed the change of pace. This isn't fast food. Will definitely be returning. read more

The restaurant came highly recommended - our first visit. We arrived about 6pm or so on a Friday and didn't have/need reservations, but by the time we left it was filling up -- reservations might be wise, we're told. We ate inside, but the outdoor dining looked very inviting on a cooler evening - and live music was on the porch. Definitely a place to loiter and enjoy for much longer than we were able. The food - oh, my - was fantastic. Started off with the Crispy Brussel Sprouts appetizer ... could have made a meal outta those! The meatballs and spaghetti sauce I had was absolutely superb - perfect flavors for both. Patti said her chicken alfredo was also excellent. Then we just had to share a piece of the best carrot cake ever. Don't know where we put it all! Heard there was a meatball sandwich ... so, it will be next. Everyone we encountered was very personable and a delight to share part of our evening with. We will be back! read more

Everything was ok but not really good. The music was nice, not too loud but not really enjoyable. The food was fine but fairly immature, for example the bang bang shrimp was panko shrimp with a dab of sauce and sriracha on top. The pasta was the same panko chicken but with noodles and more of a cream sauce. The pasta was $22 which is really just too much for the amount and quality. Other things were more reasonably priced. The French fries were lack luster at best and nothing really stood out. The food was not bad quality but nothing really interesting or delightful. I would say just come here for atmosphere on a nice night. I made a reservation through Yelp which they had no idea about, but luckily they were able to accommodate our large party. Although they had a high chair, they do not have kids meals or drink cups, but they were able to accommodate us by making smaller portions and a to go coffee cup. I wouldn't recommend this place for families with kids though. They do not have a computer system so the staff is having to write your check up and add it by hand! This slows down the service even further than it already was and leaves a lot of room for human error. I saw on the menu they only split the check for parties evenly, which was not an issue for us, but could be for someone else, so worth mentioning. Overall it was a fine night and the place has a nice vibe, but definitely did not fit what we were looking for, so wish I had read more reviews. read more

Wow! Brunch is a must here! My new favorite place in Old Town Spring! $6 mimosas, or, best yet...$25 gets you the entire bottle of brut champagne and a carafe of your favorite juice! (Orange, pineapple, cranberry, etc). The crabcake Benedict's were to die for, and the southwest version has the perfect blend of tangy (Hollandaise sauce) and savory (feta cheese). Ask for a side of bread, which is served warm and with creamy garlic butter...can't be beat. Lovely outdoor seating, reasonable prices, huge portions and amazing presentation. I'll be back! read more

When I saw this place online I have to admit, I was not sure it was "my kind of place". Totally wrong. It was a perfect date night place I could have a fancy martini or a special beer brew. Many items to choose from. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the philly cheese steak and initially thought it was a typical bar food but OMG furthest thing from it. One of the best and I love phillys. I saw on their events they have live bands from time to time. Outside area looks inviting I highly recommend this place for a date night or to chill outside and listen to great music and experience great service Oh. SERVICE was awesome. read more

This place looked so promising from the pictures and reviews, but when we walked up to the entrance we noticed that the staff aren't wearing masks, and neither were any of the customers. I get that masks are uncomfortable, but that's literally the most basic thing you can do to stop the spread of COVID. If you're trying to be good about social distancing, but want to get a bite to eat, don't go here! read more

This place is awesome, my family came in from Arizona and we wanted to try something different. Grace was wonderful all of her suggestions were perfect. We also got to meet Joe and Maria the owners. All the dishes were cooked to perfection, I had the sea bass with a miso glaze that was melt in your mouth perfect. They have a full bar and outside dining and they are dog friendly which I love. I highly recommend this restaurant, they are located in Old Town Spring over the railroad tracks, they also have live music on Fridays. You will not be disappointed give this restaurant a try.....we can't wait to go back again. read more

**I rarely write reviews but my experience yesterday warrants this review! I went here for dinner last night and what a pleasant surprise I had. This is a hidden gem for folks living in The Woodlands, Spring Conroe & Tomball. The atmosphere was so ALive!! There was a live band who performed beautifully... the wait staff were so incredibly friendly and professional... the restaurant itself so cozy and inviting (family friendly) and now....the BEST PART!!! The FOOD!!! Omg!! Everything we ate was super delicious! We had 3 starters then a pizza and then our main entrees and honestly.... the food here is FIVE star. The presentation was very good/ must be a pro chef in that kitchen. The food was cooked with not too much butter/oil because I didn't feel too stuffed at the end. I can't wait to return & also bring other friends here. read more

Not very impressed. Went for party, food was just so so. I was hoping to find a good place to bring my hubby but it's not worth it for me to go back. To bad because I like supporting local businesses. Atmosphere very casual but that's ok. Probably good for families with kids cause they kiddos can run around outside. read more

Great wait staff. 6/10 food, 8/10 location. But final bill is quite surprising every time. And very low effort ambiance, very low effort menu. Just nothing special, no special effort, no special look or feel or food or drink, which makes the final bill even more surprising. Apparently sometimes they have music, which might help make it worth it? read more

I tell ya, i enjoyed my dinner today. the snapper dish was quite tasty. Such a nice surprise to find the restaurant on the corner of Elm and Magnolia. The chocolate cake was beyond good. The 70's and 80's music in the backgrounds had me dancing in my seat. What a wonderful experience. read more

Add this tucked away restaurant to your list of cool places to dine. There's lots going on at this restaurant from what the staff told us. Music, outdoor seating, just a casual place to hang out and have a great meal. I believe the owners also do catering and special events, but the inside of the restaurant is not large but big enough to have a nice meeting with friends and I would think it would be fun to have a holiday party here. We will come back again it's located in the area of old town spring basically on Elm & Magnolia. read more

Great brunch spot! Rustic appearance with exquisite cuisine. Loved the duck with scrambled eggs.

Came on a Saturday night towards closing hours, having worked at a restaurant I can understand how frustrating this could be to staff members. However, we were greeted properly, professionally and happily to dine. Food was great, not a lot of options but great for a small old town restaurant. There's a bar next door which plays live music, so after dining you can walk over to the next door bar and have a couple drinks and relax. Definitely will be back every other weekend or so. read more

Elm & Magnolia - Crispy duck was amazing. It was part of the Sunday special. - Caterers Near Me - Spring, Texas

The food was amazing and the drinks were well made but the service was so bad it was where it's almost embarrassing and you feel bad asking for stuff like, you know, a menu, or water. Had to threaten to leave in order to be served our food. 20 minutes before we were given water. 40 minutes before our order was taken. An hour 20 to be served. Never given water refills, not offered dessert or coffee, had to get up over and over to ask for basics like a menu or the check. Service seemed disorganized, no hostess, no one expediting, no one clearing tables, servers lacked hustle and experience (constantly playing catch up and no clear roles or manager) they seem like super nice people lacking proper training. Get experienced front of the house help or do counter service honestly. read more
