    Alumnae Happy Hour
    Helene S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun place for an alumnae H-APP-Y Hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great turnout to support my alma mater and connect with collegiate classmates.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of trays of appetizers. Fried pickles. Fried cheese curds. Bavarian pretzels and cheese. Nachos. Tater tots. Wings. Perfect snacks. (Although it took a while for them to bring out small plates). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of places to sit at the bar, high top tables or regular tables. Nice to have a large space sectioned off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had a variety of mocktails. Mint mojitos. Virgin margaritas. Cranberry mules. Thanks to the busy bartenders who accommodated special requests and modifications. Decent sized parking lot was available. Street parking also an option. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun place to meet for an alumnae happy hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Old fashioned

    It was a cold and super rainy night, and I needed to eat somewhere that is "somewhat" close to the grocery store. I had previously tried to come here months ago, but it was closed due to your typical busted water main that forced them to close until it was repaired by the city. It was definitely worth the wait! We were greeted with a smile by the hostess, who ended up also being our server. We jokingly told her that we wanted to sit outside, and she said that was great, but she wasn't going to be our server if we did. While some may have been offended by the response, we actually thought it was funny because it was a smarty comment to our smarty request to sit outside since it was cold and rainy out there. Perhaps on a nice day, we will sit out side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Surprisingly for a Saturday night, the place was not very crowded, which was fine by me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I started with the Old Fashioned for a drink and the chicken flautas. The flautas were tasty! They came with a side of guacamole, queso and green salsa. For my meal, I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos, which came with 2 tacos. The portion was just right and the flavor was great! My husband ordered the hot dog and he said it's one of the better hot dogs he has had in a while. We topped it off with the churros for dessert, but honestly we were getting full at that point. The churros, while not the best I have ever had, they were pretty good. They came with a caramel sauce on the side. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is spacious, clean and has a huge outdoor patio, so we are looking forward to coming here again soon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    FM Burger (8oz) + bacon with totts
    John B.

    Great place for a burger! I got the 12 oz. It was nice and juicy. Decent size menu with a good variety to choose from. Next visit I'll try the Brussels sprouts, club sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, or green chili burger. It all sounded good! Ate at the bar and the service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place has a sports bar vibe to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also a great outside patio that accepts dogs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Feel like pickle ball? PKL Social is right next door and shares the same bar and kitchen. Bar menu looked good, but I didn't see Bloody Mary's. I didn't ask if they had them, but I was thinking that might have hit the spot.

    Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich and Sweet Potato Fries
    Candace G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat on the covered enclosed patio and the fans were on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a larger group so service moved a little slow but the margaritas were good and so was the spicy chicken sandwich. Also you have to get the fried pickles.

    Really good, well executed food! The menu was simple American fare but sometimes that's exactly what you need. I felt that the ingredients were very fresh and seasonal, so my chicken sandwich felt like it was made with high quality ingredients. The batter on the chicken also felt reminiscent of Popeyes spicy chicken, and I loved that. The restaurant is in an area currently undergoing a facelift. There's a new pickleball joint next door and some storefronts across the street. There's a parking lot as well so it's fairly accessible.

    Ny steak
    Binio L.

    We did not expect this. The place looks very laid back. It's one of the best New york steaks I've ever had. They have steak night on Thursdays, and I got one of the two last ones for the night. Great drinks and absolutely cool ambiance. Great place for sports watching. Our service was fantastic and amazing overall value.

    Arrived on Sat at noon for lunch Reviewed business online first and also to scope out the parking situation since some places in Houston/Heights/River Oaks don't have private parking. Although they stated they had a huge parking lot it really is only about 60-70% marked and usable (see pics) They do not have entire lot marked with parking spaces and really need to have it redone as the spots they do have are very small and my small suv barely fit between the lines. A full size truck or suv would not fit between the marked lines but would still be able to park. When you walk up to bldg they have a huge outdoor space with tables, multiple tvs, covered and uncovered seating, fire pit and allow dogs which is pretty cool. Inside is a large open space nothing special with a few tvs on the wall near small bar area and music playing low as back ground noise. We were seated quickly and the waitress greeted us promptly and answered our questions and brought us waters. We ordered 3 items, 2 FM 8oz burgers and a brunch item chicken fried steak with eggs and hash browns. All the food was very good tasted great. Here are 2 odd things in my opinion and it wasn't a deal breaker but I may not return next time when want a really good burger. First when you look at the menu it states FM burger 4oz or 8oz, now I ordered the 8oz (1/2 lb burger) and was expecting a single 1/2 lb patty on a large bun. What I received was a small bun with two 4 oz pattys so basically it was a small double cheese burger! The smaller bun didn't hold all the ingredients well and is hard to hold and the double patties makes it a little harder to eat. A single 8 oz patty on a larger bun would be so much better. They need to fix the menu to state you can order a single or double but not have it read as if you were going to get a single 8oz patty. The other thing is they don't have sweet tea! I know it's not mandatory to have it but 90% of restaurants in Texas have sweet tea. Waitress did offer regular tea and sugar packets. I say if your gonna have regular tea then you need to have sweet tea also or don't have any tea at all. They have cokes/soda in cans so they could stock Arizona sweet tea as an option if they don't want to have to make sweet tea. Overall the waitress was great, service was great, the place has a cool vibe and laid back, not to noisy and we were able to have a conversation without yelling. I will return for a brunch meal or other item but not for a burger. I really love a great Burger but was disappointed with the FM 8 oz burger.

    Good experience for my first visit! They have a nice outdoor patio that is covered with lots of TVs and heaters. Indoor space is pretty nice as well. Service was great - food and drinks came out freaky fast. I got the FM Club which was shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato on bread and got a side of tots. Decent quality and price! I would come back for sure!

    The food was just okay nothing special got a grain bowl but it was more like a salad with some grains on top . like i said nothing special . The music was loud so that wasn't great but the place is cool on the outside and the greats are yummm

    Tasty Sangria!

    I can't believe I live so close and have never been here before! After a birthday disaster with The Toasted Coconut, these guys stepped in to rescue my birthday plans. They have a huge patio with plenty of seating both covered and uncovered, great happy hour specials, a solid cocktail list, and the Harvest Salad (excellent green goddess dressing) was one of the absolute best salads I've had in a long time. I've craved it and gone back a few times now just for that salad. We tried their brunch and the chilaquiles (my favorite) and chicken fried steak was really good. The drink prices are reasonable and they have a mimosa carafe special for $18 which serves the various options for juice on the side so you can make your ideal ratio, which I really appreciate!

    We lost power during the May 16, 2024 storm and came here for lunch, AC, TVs, and the kind staff even charged my phone. Good service, good food, lots of TVs, and a solid music playlist. Great overall spot!!

    They have a parking lot and there is street parking. I've been several times and I've never had issues with parking.

    A great burger spot coming from someone who doesn't eat lots of burgers so take that how you'd like…read more When you walk in you take a clipboard to customize your selection (beef burger, turkey burger, fish, etc.) and then take that to the register to pay. I had opted for a beef burger with a side of chili cheese tater tots to share. The burger is quite large and filled generously with whatever add-ins you check off so it was very filling for me. I went with two 2oz patties, but considering the size, I'd opt for a single 2 oz patty if I go back. For my burger I also added scallion aioli which didn't have a strong green onion flavor but was still nice and added creaminess to the burger overall. The tater tots were super crispy, and the chili cheese topping was nice. I had gone shortly after they opened and it wasn't super busy but it started to quickly fill up around 11:30-12. Decent amount of tables and good parking situation outside

To start off with a positive, I thought the falafel patty had a really great taste and was absolutely the highlight of the burger. But outside of that the burger and the toppings I ordered just didn't work as well as I would've liked. I ordered my burger with mushrooms and sauteed onions, both toppings I know I absolutely love from making burgers at home and from other spots, but neither added much. At first I was worried that the falafel was overpowering them both but upon eating them by themselves they just lacked taste. We also got the scallion aioli on the burger and I never got a hint of it at any point. All in all, the burger was very much mediocre outside of the patty. We also got fries with the burger and while they absolutely had some potential they were extremely over seasoned. Any appreciation for the seasonings in a vacuum was immediately overshadowed by how salty they were. We also ordered the Sambal Mayo as a dipping sauce and while it did help subdue the insane salt level and overall tasted quite good, upon writing this review I found out by looking at their online menu that it contained some amount of shrimp. This information is nowhere to be seen on the ordering slip and wasn't mentioned when I handed it over to the person working at the cash register. And while I definitely accept some level of responsibility for not doing my due diligence and asking or letting them know of my dietary restrictions, it's still an extremely frustrating thing to have happen as both a vegetarian and someone with a mild shellfish allergy. If for whatever reason the online menu is out of date or I missed an obvious indication of it containing shrimp somewhere I am more than happy to edit my review.

Love seeing the lunch rush though because you know it's gonna be good. Ambiance wise, this place is very chill. No indoor area, just order at the counter, get 1 of their outdoor patio tables or take it to go. There was a line to order, but service was very fast. Burger wise, this place is just a well executed classic burger. Big, juicy, fresh toppings, honestly nothing to complain about. The onion rings were some of the best that I've had recently, and I ordered their "Texas size steak sandwich" to go as well for dinner, very filling. I'm so glad I finally took the time to try out this EaDo gem. I understand why they've been a Houston burger staple for so long now.

Just happened to get there at the right time there was nobody waiting and as soon as I placed my order and grabbed a seat, I turned around, and there was a line of approximately 20 people waiting to order. The seating is all alfresco. I ordered a steak sandwich with fries and a drink. The fried steak was tender and moist and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The service was friendly and helpful, answered all questions.
