    Mimosas
    Lisa J.

    Ordered the French toast with a side of turkey sausage along with a mimosa. All were so good!! The staff were all very friendly and the service was fast!

    Very very very very very thin slices of the good stuff: the toppings. Cheap.
    A M.

    This experience was disappointing. The space is nice enough and more voluminous than Webster location. My server was nice enough but she did not know anything. Like she had started working there today. Every question I asked required a trip somewhere to consult someone. They were pretty easy question: Do you have thousand island dressing? (BTW they do not). Is the ranch dressing made on site? (The answer is no and it's not great commercial dressing). The service at the Webster location is terrible too so maybe they need to implement some proper training systems. The food: I ordered a half sandwich and Cobb salad. I started with a Bloody Mary and typically it's good. The bacon was as limp as a spaghetti noodle and the carafe was room temperature. The food came and the ham and Gruyère melt was truly unremarkable. The Gruyère had no personality, the brioche bread was under-grilled. The salad was a mass of spring mix. The toppings were all sliced so thin as to maximize coverage. It's a stingy Cobb salad that has *at most* 1/4 of an avocado, 1/3 of a boiled egg and less than a tablespoon of chopped tomato. This restaurant has rampant food waste... you can see when the tables are bussed that they throw away mountains of food. So why then is my Cobb salad so sad? All this cost $24 before tip. I don't see myself going back to this location.

    The food was very good it came pretty quick and all correct. The server was really nice and attentive, there was a slight wait but that's normal. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food, overall good experience definitely will continue coming!

    I went for breakfast last Sunday and had a great experience. Even though it was busy we were able to get seated quickly and we also received our food and drinks in a timely manner. The service was amazing and the food was so tasty!

    The Trailblazer Bowl (Seasonal)
    Deborah R.

    It's been a few years since we tried this location, and despite the negative experience the first time, felt it was time to check-in and see if there has been an improvement. So glad we did. It certainly was a better experience this time around. Staff was friendly, food was served in a reasonable time, hot and tasty. I decided to go with a seasonal dish and ordered The TRAILBLAZER BOWL (Hand-pulled roasted turkey, house-roasted sweet potatoes, cage-free scrambled eggs, lemon tahini arugula, fresh avocado with superseed crunch and fresh herbs). If you like breakfast hashes/bowls, this was a good one. I have tried many takes on this type of breakfast bowls, but never had one with roasted turkey so I was not sure if I would like it - well, I loved it! If you like breakfast hashes, and you like these particular ingredients, it is worth a try; you too might find a new favorite. Oh, can't leave off the coffee, it was hot and strong, just like I like it.

    Trifecta Millionaire bacon  Biscuits and gravy!

    My mom and I are huge breakfast fans and we love first watch! The location is close by to us so we try to make it here when we can. Weekends are usually crowded but with great food and service it's worth the wait. We went today and our server Stephen. M greeted us at the door and sat us immediately. I ordered the biscuit and gravy and my mom got the trifecta. The millionaire bacon is awesome and compliments the meal nicely. Food was great and came out at a reasonable time. Stephen was awesome ! Consistently checked up on us and made sure we were accommodated too the entirety of our visit. Can't wait to come again!

    I go here weekly for breakfast. I get the farm skillet with no eggs and cheese to make it vegan. It's really good.

    I've been wanting to try Red Oak Cafe for a while…read more I love their back story and Christian theme. My friend & fellow elite and I arrived on a Saturday around 11AM and didn't have to wait for a table. I had the Big Breakfast which includes 2 pancakes. They have so many different mix-ins for their pancakes, anyone's bound to find their perfect mix-in combo. I think I found mine with the banana pecan mix-ins and sides of strawberry butter. The pancakes are huge. I ended up taking one home. The bananas weren't too sweet and had the perfect amount of ripeness for the pancakes. I ended up getting 2 sides of strawberry butter but could've easily eaten like four of the small . The biscuit with the big breakfast was fluffy and delicious especially with the yummy strawberry butter. The eggs over medium were cooked perfectly. The cheddar jalapeno grits were a little bland but did the trick. I tried my pal's hash browns and they were perfectly seasoned and thoroughly cooked but not crispy. The hash browns are definitely the better option over the grits. The bacon was delicious and perfectly crispy. I asked the waiter for crispy but not burnt bacon and he got it just right. The restaurant was warm and inviting. The waiter was super personable and helpful. I felt like I was at breakfast Disneyland. I was able to get anything I wanted with no problem and with the kindest most helpful attitude from the waiter. I look forward to returning!

The cookie was baked to soft perfection. I went with a friend who thankfully knew to join the waitlist about an hour before we planned to arrive, which made the wait very manageable. Had we not known that important little tip, we probably would've been waiting close to an hour. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back again.

    Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.
