I enjoyed myself so much here. It's a chill spot to bring friends family and even pets. Indoor and outdoor seating and did I mention the $22 special on Thursday for the steak and two time baked potatoes yeah y'all wish you were there. I had the shrimp tacos and a skinny b margarita made my whole day right off the plane. Staff were friendly, cool, and all attentive to my guy and I. The food was on point there are literally no complaints. read more

I'm giving 5 stars because the service is remarkable. It was a group of maybe 10-11 and they accommodated us with no issues. They separated our tabs with no issues. They got the drinks to the fastest I ever seen and food was right behind it hot and ready. Literally I ordered my drink he typed it in was taking other orders at the table had not even walked away and here come someone else with my drink. I thought he had the wrong table cause I didn't realize they had such a great system. The guy bringing the drink was sarcastic but funny in a good not a bad way at all. We laughed at his sarcasm. He was trying to be funny. Our waiter was the bomb he had a great sense of humor and didn't let that it was a lot of us intimidate him. The environment is chill and upbeat. It's dog friendly. Truly a good place to hang out with friends, have drinks and bar food. I highly recommend them! read more

I love everything about this spot! Indoor outdoor, tvs for all your sporting needs. The food is fantastic! Very cute atmosphere, decor! Fried pickles are crispy and served hot. The burgers come out made to order and substitutes were easy. We tried some of everything and we're not disappointed. The staff is incredibly friendly and everyone is paying attention. We were never without a water or bar drink refill! read more

So I've always enjoyed my experience here. They have a huge outdoor seating area to eat or hangout as well as a smaller inside space with tvs etc to watch events. My review is about the food bc the vibe for the spot is set up good so it's what u make of it. They are pet friendly so if you don't like eating around dogs then think about it before you go bc they are everywhere here. I recently tried an array of foods there tho and these are my takeaways. Burgers always fresh and you can tell they use good ingredients, tater tots always on pint here, the fries need some work but I usually get tater tots anyways. They have an appetizer sample tray like thing and it's has wings, chips and queso, fries and flautas, and fried pickles. I could honestly say the only thing I'd eat off that again would be the chips and queso and fried pickles (which are spears not slices). The wings were hot but I just didn't get off to em. I also ordered fried chicken dinner to go... and now this is really why I wrote this review. Everyone always rates fried chicken and I gotta say this one is like a 7.5. I know some people say it's the best but the batter is a certain type that I don't get off too. It's good fried chicken but it isn't GREAT. The max and cheese is CREAMY but doesn't beat Graces canal mac and cheese. Overall for a bar, they have really solid food options and if I come here I'm probably gonna eat. So I'd say give it a try and see for yourself. You only have a 20% chance of being let it down which are pretty decent odds read more

We love the relaxed atmosphere here! The food is always good and servers are always friendly. Whether it's brunch or lunch we love both! read more

So I decided to stop in on a random chilly Friday night. What I loved is the location because it's easy to locate. I also loved the fact that they have a parking out that had plenty of parking. Another thing that I thought was awesome is they have outside heaters and fire pits outside. The staff was friendly and informed me of the drink specials. The had a great happy hour menu. I think based on what I observed the "steak night" which is Thursday. Overall I would return as it was a good experience. read more

Large outdoor patio space and typical indoor space with multiple TV screens. This kitchen/bar is good for groups of all sizes and they even close off for private events sometimes. The menu offers a variety of drinks and food, including your common bar food items like chicken wings, burgers, sandwiches, fries, hot dogs, and more. My party and I tried the spicy fried chicken sandwich (not that spicy but decent flavor), FM burger (basic burger, not much jazz), portobello mushroom burger (vegetarian and whatever they used to season it was amazing and made a juicy cap), honey sambal wings (sweet and nicely spicy), slaw (not creamy how I like it), and jalapeno mac (cheesy and creamy with a hint of heat). It's been awhile since I've been back and there seems to be menu changes. They have pretty nice happy hour deals as well as steak night for those interested. Service gets the job done but nothing special and is actually quite slow. Pretty mediocre in my books. They do have a big parking lot and parking is not an issue, though. read more

Great place to watch the game. The chicken sandwich is very tasty and the portions are very generous.

The skewers were fantastic and the squid ink pasta is the most loyal to the matter I've had in a long time. Super happy with the food. Service is a little lacking. read more

My wife and I have eaten there on two different occasions for lunch. I ordered the burger bowl both times. I think it is an outstanding meal. It is the perfect combination of ingredients, including the burger, bacon, cheese, jalapeños, red onions, queso, and some kind of really good sauce, oh and I forgot the tater tots and the greens. Truly truly delicious. The service has been friendly both times. We sat outside today and it was quite nice. I can't wait to go back and have another burger bowl. read more

#1st time here #1st impressions are everything... UPDATED 9/21 11:53 AM - I did receive an email from a partner at FM Kitchen & Bar, who addressed my concerns via the inquiry I sent through their website. They were very appreciative, understanding, and provided solutions to the issue. I have to commend them on taking this professional approach and response. Thank you, Jason! _________________________________ 1. Entrance - Patio was full - covered and not covered areas. TV screens outside. Faux turf on the covered patio area. Fans going. We were greeted by the hostess and manager who was coming from the patio with the ipad (waitlist). Was crowded so we had to wait for a table of 5, but roughly ~10 minutes 2. First vibe - awesome! The weather was so pleasant (a break from the normal Houston humidity) so a lot of people were siting outside. Music not too loud, but a great playlist. I can't imagine what this place looks like in a non-covid, summer atmosphere. Packed, I'm sure. 3. Time to table - you are asked to wait inside your car. And for a party of 5, it was around 10 minutes for a table inside. 4. Menu - It was national cheeseburger day so that's what we all got, had specials they were promoting on IG. The menu - American: sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs. The drink menu is where its at. Very impressive cocktails - and tasty! 5. Server - She was nice and helpful and patient! 6. See photos! Pretty boozy, generous on the pours, but they made for great drinks. Not watered down at all. 7. The food - I will admit it was fresh and hot once we did receive the food. 8. No dessert for us this time. 9. Management: So this is where this review is going to be 4 stars for me. This was our first time here, along with our out of town guests, so we were really excited to try it out. We were a party of 5, sat indoors, and in total we ordered 1 appetizer, 5 entrees, and 6 cocktails. Our total bill came out to roughly $175 and we left a ~25% cash tip to our server. The main reason is the ticket times on our food. Specifically the main course, which was a 1-hour long wait from the time that we ordered. Our server offered us extra chips for our spinach dip appetizer, but by the time the chips came out, the spinach dip was cold. When we asked the server "how much longer would it be for the food," she promptly and understandably responded with "let me go check on that". At this point 45 minutes had passed from the time she took our order. My partner ordered the 3 sides special with his entree, but it did not come out with his entree. We asked our server, and she responded again with "let me go check on that." We received no table touches from a manager the entire time while we were at the table. I understand that there are situations beyond our control, but this situation of our wait time on the food could have been rectified or at least addressed by a manager. While I'm not sure if they were running at the mandated 50% restaurant capacity, this experience left us feeling that if and when they are back at 100% capacity, what would the service then be? While it is not our intent to negatively review any establishment that we visit, we do strive to be honest. We are not asking for anything, but an acknowledgement that this will be addressed and corrected for us and future guests. I also tried initially to contact management about this via their website, through an inquiry, but I received no response. 10. Cleanliness - Clean, all staff had masks, and the restrooms were clean for how busy it was. Outside of this experience, we think this place has an awesome vibe and we look forward to coming back for a better experience. #craveonomics read more

The outdoor seating has an amazing atmosphere that was perfect for a large group, most especially after a ling day from attending an event. The chicken sandwiches with fries were scrumptious and treated myself to a special drink from the bar inside the restaurante. Staff are friendly and provided superb service to everyone. The drink is money well spent as a sweet and deliciously sweet treat to end the day! Totally recommend! read more

we order salads and my husband asked them if they could change the kale for lettuce to which they told him absolutely before ordering but, his salad came with kale, and they never apoligaze. After we were done the wait staff came to collect the payment and she was extremely rude when we asked her a question about the menu This was an awful experience the first and last one for us.... we were looking forward trying this place... I WILL NOT RECOMMENDED read more

This is a nice sports bar. I've only been here a couple times but both times the food and service were great. The interior could use a little more decorating; it feels like a school cafeteria. Their menu mainly consists of bar food such as fried pickles and mozzarella sticks. They do offer vegetarian options. I tried the impossible burger last time and it was very yummy. There's plenty of parking available and they have patio seating. Will be back! read more

Ah, I gotta first say that despite my personal 3-star average experiences, I *really* do like FM Kitchen. It's one of my go-tos for dinner, happy hour, and group celebrations (we hosted a friend's baby shower that was flawless). That being said, the dozen-plus times I've been there, food and especially service was hit or miss (or just an average experience, which is a-okay). What I love about FM in no particular order: it's dog friendly, onsite parking, tons of space inside and out, patio games, fire pits, patio heaters, open wifi. What's a miss: inconstancy in food and service. I love their brick chicken, especially the first time I ordered it. Second time it was unexpectedly smothered in BBQ sauce and I was low-carbing at the time, third time was dry, fourth time was just like the first. See an inconsistent pattern there? Sometimes it takes servers a while to refill drink orders, other times they are on top of it. Sometimes they're friendly and badass. Or other times they (ahem, she) won't take your drink order or put on the Rockets game until you start speaking to her in French. My last visit was a total miss. We were there for steak night but ended up closing out our tabs after one round and went to Presidio. Again, I like the place but man, it can be an unpredictable experience each time. As for the food, I'm a fan (when it's good). The mac and cheese along with the queso are consistently a hit amongst friends and I recommended them as musts! The mac tastes like it's made with the jalapeno queso (huge plus) and the hefty "side" portion is well worth the $5. I eat it as a meal. The burgers are good too. I personally don't mind the size - I mean, it's less than $6 for a handmade quality burger. Want cheaper? Go down the street to Jack in the Box. Overall, I'm a fan of FM Kitchen. $5 select wines and cocktails on tap (happy hour is Mon-Fri 3-7pm, Sat 11am-6pm, Sunday 6pm-close); Taco Tuesdays ($3.50 tacos that are high quality, think shrimp, ribeye or chimichurri chicken); $5 wine Wednesdays. I haven't done their brunch but I've heard from friends that it's their favorite menu FM Kitchen offers. read more

Overall, a pretty average brunch experience - thus the average rating. Pros: Ample parking, shaded dog-friendly patio, reasonable(ish) prices for Houston. Cons: Very mediocre chilaquiles (if you like yours on the soggier side, you'll probably like them better than I did), OK carajillo, very okay service. Not sure if they assign servers to sections or if it's a free-for-all, but it took a while to get a food order in. The food then came out quickly, but somehow my food was warm, not hot. I'm assuming it was made first and sat for a while before my friend's dish was finished. Probably wouldn't return for brunch with all the other good Houston options out there, but maybe would for happy hour. I think the "FM" (farm to market) fooled me into thinking the food would be brighter and fresher. read more

Perfect place to come and hangout when the sun is out! I believe happy hour is from 3-6!

This was going to be my first time going with my wife and kids and I was actually looking forward to it. However, I felt extremely prejudiced against due to being cuban. I respectfully asked my server if they can put on a specific game on the TV. We sat outside and it was not full at all. The server came back out said they cannot change it because they need to show 4 different games at once. However, 3 out of the 4 TVs were playing the same exact game!! My autistic child was having a bad moment and they refused to help us or accommodate us to different area of the restaurant. Right after, we got up and started to leave when I over heard another server tell a table "I was able to change the game for you, is that the correct one?". I will never give my hard earned money to an establishment who picks and chooses who they want to accommodate when it is convenient for them. read more

The fries are probably the worst fries I've ever had. The mango slushy alcoholic drink (forgot the name) was good. The service is good.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!! I love this place!!! Cool little spot in the heights! I love the atmosphere and I loved how our server greeted us as we walked in. We decided to sit outside which had plenty of seats and tables. There was even a couple of games like Ping Pong and Jenga to play. There are also two art murals with great color that makes for an awesome pictures! We went on a Tuesday which is always TACO TUESDAY!! Their tacos were $4.00 a piece and their margaritas were $5.00...no bad prices at all. Pretty reasonable. The tortillas for the tacos came in flour or corn (must request). We started off with 2 tacos a piece. My friend and I both had the steak tacos, mine on corn and his on flour. The steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned very well. The red and green salsa gave the tacos a nice little kick! They were sooooo good, we order 4 more lol (2 tacos a piece), the refried beans were spread on the bottom of the tortillas. Not really a bean eater but they were gooood. The margaritas were good too, we had shots too lol. Lastly, our server Bri was awesome! She was very personable and knowledgeable, she initially forgot to tell the cooks to make my tacos on corn. She apologized and it wasn't a big deal to me because I had her just to bring me some corn tortillas without having the cooks remake the tacos! About 2 margaritas and 1 shot in lol, I got heartburn. Bri was like: I'll bring you a shot of milk and it'll help with the heart burn! She was great. She didn't have to do that but I really appreciate it. I'm definitely a fan of this spot! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! read more

FM Kitchen & Bar - Wonderful art mural! - Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

After checking out FM Kitchen and Bar three times, I have a comprehensive review for y'all. All three times I've stopped by have been for dinner. Two on a weekend (one of them being during the Astros World Series run) and once on Taco Tuesday. Looking at things cumulatively, the service has been average. The most recent time was a bad experience as our waiter forgot to put our dinner order in. As a result, it took more than an hour to receive our food! The waiter was new and the manager ended up comping our meal and offering us free dessert. A nice touch to turnaround a bad experience. There are a lot of things I like about FM Kitchen. It's located right off of Shepherd in The Heights from the chef of Triniti. There is a small parking lot which can get busy but there is also free parking on the side street adjacent to the restaurant. They have a good-sized patio with picnic-style seating and games like ping pong. Good amount of TVs inside and outside. The inside is an open-air concept so it's great when the weather is nice. I've tried a variety of items. They're known for their burgers which are Shake Shack-esque. Similar bun and similar size so don't expect a hefty burger. Order two if you're hungry. The burgers and other sandwiches don't come with a side included so you have the order that separate. I've tried both their fries and tater tots with cheese. Solid all-around. I've also tried their chicken fried steak and their pulled pork taco, ribeye taco, and elote on Taco Tuesday. On Tuesday's, the tacos are 2 for $8 and the margaritas are $5. They also have happy hour all day on Mondays. Next time, I've got to try their wings! This is a great spot for a Sunday fun day or somewhere to watch the game and enjoy some good food. read more

Wow that is all I can say about my most recent and FINAL visit. I showed up at 9:25 am on a Sunday since Yelp reported them open at 9 am. It looked partially open with people on the inside setting up, the outside all setup with tv's on NFL game day shows, but all the chairs were still flipped over on the inside tables. I was waiting for a friend I was meeting there so I had to wait anyway, if the staff was running behind. I decided to duck my head in and asked if they were open. The employee in the Ravens polo shirt responded that they open at 10 am. I said okay, but just to let you know Yelp said 9 am. He said in kind of snarky way, "we can't change Yelp and you should have checked our website." I left, but as someone that relies on Yelp T to be accurate, I decided to inform him that was an incorrect statement. I stuck my head back in and said "by the way you can change the Yelp times" and I left. Didn't think anything of it. I was in the parking lot when he comes out and starts castigating me for "trying to ruin his day by saying what I said." I told him I had no idea what he was talking about, I just was letting him know that you can change the Yelp site for times so nobody comes when they are closed. I then said he was being ridiculous that he would follow me out to the parking lot to give me a piece of his mind. He then went onto mock me how I told him that they could change the hours. He then told me I was never allowed back to his restaurant/bar. I told him no worries, I wasn't planning on coming back. I used to like this place, but all it takes is one terrible employee that has no concept of hospitality. I hope he found his safe place and was give some play dough, so he didn't give bad service to his customers all day complaining about the mean man that hurt his feelings.... Never been impressed with the service at this place but the food was decent, they used to open early for breakfast, and the patio was good. Well, definitely never coming back and encourage you not to give them your business either. What type of employee follows a customer out to the parking lot in such a manner? ****Update**** After posting, the general manager reached out to me. It was the GM that had been the one how had followed me out. He apologized for the interaction. read more

This was the first time here and everything was good, we went on Monday afternoon the Patio has a good space and you seat yourself, then they just took a little bit to notice that we were there but finally we got a server, her name is Denise and she was awesome, she answered all our questions, for drinks we ordered a classic mojito and Moscow Mule and both taste really good, for food was the half order of pork ribs, and was a really good portion and with the best flavour. First time but definitely not last time. The only thing is the should work on a little bit more fast service. Thank you. read more

I was blown away today with this place. They've got a pretty impressive happy hour & excellent food. I got the impossible burger and onion rings. The onion rings were insane & the burger was SO good. Trey, our sever, was a literal GEM. Very helpful & friendly! And they had a beautiful patio & plenty of parking on a Tuesday evening. I have zero complaints. read more

Ok... this may become one of my little "go-to" spots I was actually on my way to another resto in the area and when I arrive, it was closed.

Huge outdoor patio and spacious indoor seating with many Tvs to watch sports. They also have a parking lot out front as well! Ordered the green chile cheeseburger, was a good size burger, pretty average. Chiles on top could have been a little spicier, but the brioche bun and chipotle aioli gave the burger flavor. Also got a side of the Mac & Cheese, it was amazing. One of the best mac & cheese's I've had. The cheese was fresh and bubbling. Loved the atmosphere, service was great, never felt rushed and was checked in on multiple times. read more

Seriously! The fried chicken saved this place.. As soon as we come in to the restaurant the most unfriendliest hostess ..should I say greet us ?? or maybe more appropriate would be, handed it over the menus and showed us a table. It took about 10 min. for the server to come to our table and I'm not going to lie, the server was nice but the first impression left a sour taste in my mouth. The chicken though! It was perfect golden brown, crispy and juicy. I would totally order the chicken to go next time and many times. read more
