    I made reservations for my friends birthday brunch. Originally going to be 3 of us but a fourth…read morelady joined and it was no issue. When we got there, it was empty. The Saturday morning crowd was not out yet but soon would show up. We had a great table, middle of the restaurant and Caleb helped us out. He was very nice and took care of us. Ivory also came out and greeted us. We chatted a bit about how we liked the food. We got boudin balls with fries. The fries were amazing, just regular fries. The boudin balls needed a little work but Ivory was very receptive to feedback. Mimosas were good too. I had the cranberry, it came in a carafe. We finished 2 of them between the 3 of us throughout our meal. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Grits were excellent, shrimp was a little salty but if I mixed with the grits, worked out well. We had the endless catfish and amazed that it just kept coming. Also ordered a special priced wing and waffle dish that was 2 wings and a waffle, a little snack. By time we left, all tables were full. Make reservations is my best suggestion. I will go back. I enjoyed the food.

    What can I say? If you make the trip you'll be glad you did. We did come right after a large group…read morejust ended a birthday celebration, so it was mad crazy and loud on arrival. However the owner and staff were apologetic and quite welcoming. Once seated, service was pretty quick. My friend and I actually were a little indecisive about what to order- so many great choices. We opted on the all you can eat (can't believe that's an option) chicken and chicken & fish meal, which comes with a side of red beans and rice & greens. My word, those greens were delish- red beans, not so much. The chicken wss delicious, and the fried catfish was ok. Some pieces had that "muddy water" taste I'm not quite sure the cause when I try it a various restaurants. We also ordered the martini flight, which is a cute play on words because it comes with oxtail meat and rice, shrimp n grits and a Cosmo all served in glasses. They also have bottomless mimosas for $20. Note: Happy hour (at least on Saturdays) is really just for the food not the drinks. If you opt for cocktails those will run you about $17+ , so it kinda forces you to get the mimosas. Another note, they're made with Brut champagne and not sparkling wine for those who might have a preference. All in all, a really fun spot. The music was AMAZING and the chef is HILARIOUS. He'll have you laughing, and welcomes honest feedback. I'll definitely return when someone else is driving. Lol.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see her in action, first-hand...until now and WOW! Our school was having a food truck themed summer camp, which is a very popular camp that sells out every year. The kids create their own food trucks, starting with learning the behind the scenes of starting a food truck, such as logo design, menu design, a shopping list and then they build their own truck and cook some samplers from their menus. We have real food trucks come out for the kids to see, but this year was even better because Chef Shelby came into our culinary kitchen and gave our students and teachers an experience that they will never forget. From the start, she was very communicative and full of ideas on how she could create this experience for the kids. We provided the space and she and her team took it from there and made the rest of the magic happen. She gave a lesson to the kids about kitchen safety and how to create a menu to kick off Food Truck Camp. Then, she came back later in the week and made flat bread pizzas from scratch by modeling each step and assisting the kids as they made their own. She and her team were punctual, organized and very professional! The teachers and kids had a blast! Let's not forget to mention that she still made this experience possible even with dealing with the after effects of Hurricane Beryl! Thank you so much, Comfort Craving Experience for spending time with us! We are so thankful and look forward to working with you again in the future!

    I found F.B Chefs through Yelp and I am so so pleased that I did. I emailed Lionel months before my…read morehusbands 30th birthday to coordinate a birthday dinner for 4 in our home. Throughout the planning process, Lionel was always quick in responding to questions and helpful in guiding me to a rental company for a beautiful dinner table set up of fine china, crystal glasses and sterling silverware. His menu options were perfect for my husband who can be a very picky eater. My husband and I are big foodies and have been to most of the top restaurants in Houston, Lionel's cooking was as good if not better than the best in town. Every course was absolutely delicious! The mussels were perfectly cooked, the caprese salad couldn't have been any better and everyone's filets were cooked spot on. He made a carrot purée that we have been talking about for days! On top of the amazing food, Lionel himself was as personable and friendly as he could be in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the food he was serving. Each course came with an explanation of the ingredients and where they were from. I hope to have Lionel back in my home again soon and will be recommending him to everyone I know in the Houston area. I've only had one other private dining party and Lionel's food was wayyyy better than that. Thank you, Lionel!

Chef Lionel brought that night and meal to us. First and foremost, him and his team followed all the safety guidelines and were masked the whole time. The food was EXCELLENT. From the very start of having light appetizers, refreshing salad, to fresh fish, Filet Mignon to the Lobster tail..........Chef Lionel ended this with a scrumptious dessert....Banana Fosters Creme Brulee! Everyone enjoyed the meal..................still two weeks later we are all talking about how good it was! Thanks Chef Lionel!
