For brunch I had the mimosa carafe, lobster and waffle with mac and cheese and yams as sides. The lobster was okay, I didn't really enjoy the breading flavor however the actual lobster was cooked well and buttery. The waffle was very dense because it was a jalapeño cornbread mix (which I should've read the description better). I would've preferred a traditional fluffy waffle to accompany the lobster. I did enjoy the yams + mac and cheese and had enough to take home. The service was pretty quick and our waitress was very pleasant as well. Plenty of parking available.

Karen, our server, checked all the boxes -- friendly, attentive, and timely on the refills. And the street tacos....man. Amazing. Just another chill spot I frequent often to take a load off. I recommend bringing the whole crew here... or a perfect date night drop-in. Available parking with security that takes their job serious. Oh, and $10 Hookah if you're into that.

I've been coming to NextDoor Bar & Lounge for years, and seeing the recent renovation completely…read moretransformed the space in the best way possible. I was impressed when I walked in. They managed to keep the same relaxed neighborhood vibe people love while giving it a much more modern, polished, and upscale feel. The updated design, lighting, TVs and overall atmosphere look incredible and make the space feel fresh without losing its personality. They still have the spinning drink wheel! The outdoor seating especially feels elevated now and makes for the perfect Houston brunch spot or night out. One of the best parts about NextDoor is that it's connected to Hungry's, which means you get full access to their menu while enjoying the lounge atmosphere. Being able to order everything from cocktails and appetizers to full meals while at a bar is a game changer. The food is consistently good, the drinks are strong (especially the frozen options) well-made, and everything comes out quickly. What keeps me coming back year after year is the consistency. The staff has always been welcoming and attentive, the crowd is chill, and it never feels overly pretentious or chaotic. It's one of those rare spots that works for everything, whether it's happy hour after work, date night, catching up with friends over drinks on the patio or a solo adventure. Love seeing a longtime Houston favorite continue to evolve while still delivering the same great experience that's kept me coming back for years. Definitely one of my go-to spots on Memorial Drive. My only suggestion is to tell the younger staff members to be conscious of their conversations while guest are dining nearby. I love people watching but I heard a lot of things. It appears Hungry's uses the bar area like a break/training room or to do other tasks like rolling utensils in napkins.

Food was good. Love the southwest eggrolls. Jollof rice was not like any I've had before, it was just rice and some smoky flavor. Wings were decent, loved the taste of the ranch & they ain't skimpy on the napkins, love that. Music bingo isn't exactly like the bingo I've done. This was regular bingo, they just had good music playing. I don't really think that they need an MC, as they kept telling us to look at the screen for the numbers. The prizes are good though. Also, they are $15 a piece for three squares and three games However, they charge two hidden fees (they don't tell you ahead of time) on the check, one is for 20% and the other is I believe 3%. Plus, the way that the drinks were advertised to us was not how they came on the bill.

I'm not a big fan of boneless chicken. Pasta. 4/5. Another decent item with good presentation. The order was messed up the first time, so it was replaced with the correct item.

My first Galentine brunch went exceptionally well, didn't expect it would be so much fun…read more The pink room with artificial cherry blossoms set the perfect tone for the occasion and we were all dressed in pink to match. Elizabeth waited on us. She was very cheerful and efficient . Got the nojitos for drinks, which are non alcoholic mojitos. I took the Purple Poison and others got the Mango, Strawberry etc. One ordered the Moroccon tea, and it came in a cute artistic pot. All non- alcoholic were priced between 8-$11. For food got the Cauliflower for starters. It was hot and pretty good. Then came the pasta, the Caprsese Avocado toasts and lastly the hummus pita. This was just our vegetarian table. The Avocado toasts was yummy but I found it a tad salty. Maybe because of the sweet drink , I don't know. The pasta was hot creamy and just the right texture. The hummus and pita was fresh but compared to the others mentioned above faded a bit in glamour. Last came the Molton lava cake with butterscotch icecream.... yummy..... and perfect way to end the meal. Parkerz has brunch options and right now Galantine special is going on. I must mention that they have so many spots to take some great insta worthy pics including the little waterfall at the back. Beware, Construction is going on at the entrance, and I hope they can do something about the wires over the waterfall so pics can be even better. There were many groups that came to celebrate today, there was group of gals all dressed in pure white, a bday gal gang .... girls day out it was ! Happy Galantine's Day to all the ladies out there.

I came to this establishment genuinely wanting to love the experience because the ambience was…read morebeautiful, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the food quality was absolutely delicious. Kenneth, who initially assisted our table, provided exceptional hospitality and attentiveness that made us feel welcomed and valued as guests. Unfortunately, once the shift changed, the experience noticeably declined. A sweet young lady did begin assisting us, and while she was kind, the level of attentiveness to our table drastically changed. As a Black couple, we could not help but notice the difference in treatment throughout the remainder of the evening. A non-Black couple was seated across from us, and within approximately 30 minutes, we observed at least 7 different staff members check on their table, with easily 20-25 interactions from staff overall throughout the night. The manager alone approached their table multiple times while we struggled to receive basic assistance. Meanwhile, we waited nearly 45 minutes for smoothies, had difficulty getting anyone's attention, and had to physically get up from our table more than once just to receive assistance. As the night continued, it became increasingly apparent that other ethnicities were receiving noticeably better and more attentive service than we were. What makes this especially disappointing is that the experience started off so positively. The ambience, food, and initial hospitality had us excited to return. However, the inconsistency in service and the stark contrast in treatment left us feeling uncomfortable, overlooked, and unwelcome. Whether intentional or not, perception matters, and unfortunately, we left feeling like our presence, and our money, was not valued the same way as others around us. I truly hate that the night ended this way because this place has so much potential, but based on our experience, we will not be returning.

We were greeted immediately by the host and seated right away--honestly, that was the smoothest and best service we received all night. After that... things slowed down a lot. It took forever for our waitress to come to the table. I tried to give grace since it was Valentine's Day, but the place wasn't even crowded, so the delay was confusing. Now let's talk about the lavender lemon drop--because when it finally arrived? Whew. Delicious. Smooth, flavorful, and dangerously sneaky. I genuinely couldn't taste the alcohol, which is both a compliment and a warning . The wait time for the drink was long, but the payoff was there. For food, we ordered the Trap Trio (egg rolls, chicken sliders, and wings). Everything tasted good, though we asked for grilled chicken sliders and received fried instead. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. Still enjoyable overall. I also had the shrimp Caesar salad. The shrimp were well-seasoned and not rubbery (thankfully), but the salad itself didn't really stand out--just okay, nothing memorable. Overall, Foxtrap is a nice vibe spot with good drinks and decent food. I really hope the service improves and that the waitstaff receives more consistent training, because with better service, this place could truly shine.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they sent out a s'mores inspired sunday for my birthday which was both thoughtful and sublime. Overall we were very impressed with our meal. Food was delicious but veeeery indulgent. We will be back.

Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

Pros Ambience Hookah…read moreVariety Music Selection Cons Asthma Risk Patron Mixture Risk The Hookah lounge was comfortable however I'm not a big hookah smoker because it makes me dizzy after a while. This night I went with one of my close sorority sisters and ended up smoking hookah with her. This location was dark and very easy on the eyes. It showcased a heavy middle eastern influence since hookah is heavy there. The variety of options are given in a menu style and allow you to pick whatever fits your needs at the time. You are also able to freely smoke as long as you would like with the occasional waiter coming to replace the coals on your hookah. They also hire their DJs every night, so the music can change and control the mood depending on what is played. The do played a variety of music from hip hop to r&b and pop, there was no shortage on the tunes just know that they will change. The downside of this place is the smoke, if you're asthmatic or have trouble seeing this place might pose a couple of risk to you. You might have trouble breathing or being able to see the ground as you walk into the puff clouds of other patrons. There is also a mixture of patrons, some there to enjoy themselves and others to have parties and fun, if you're set on a flat consistent vibe then this may not be a place, there was someone on a couch enjoying their entire life while we were there, luckily we didn't care how they did anything it didn't interfere with us. Risk was also a major thing to be mindful of, the coals can be extremely hot and give damaging burns, people can also get sick from the hookah so be careful of the health risk and also use caution around the hookah to avoid coals! Overall a good place, if you're in Houston definitely stop by and have a good time.
