    Pineapple boba

    Happy go lucky is such a cute outdoor chill spot with the potential of being a place for great summer nights and a spot to get pick up a frozen treat on your way home. I've given them three stars because of the horrible customer service we received on our first visit. Not only was the cashier in the opposite corner of the register window texting on her phone, there was a line forming that no one attended to, there wasn't any friendly greetings, and they messed up my order and forgot to place my toppings on my ice as well. After receiving my order I noticed it didn't have any pearls on it as it was stated on the menu. Upon returning to the cashier and confirming that pearls came with my treat she said yes and I asked had they ran out of the pearls she stated no and asked if I would like some. Well of course if that's what comes on my order, I didn't make any substitutions to my order, and that's what I paid for. The treat ended up being disappointing after all of that anyway. I should've taken a picture of what we ended up throwing away. Would I return to this establishment.. maybe. Pictures below

    This is such a fun place to come and enjoy some cold refreshments. Their menu si so fun! They offer shaved ice with tapioca and exotic flavor combinations. And for the adults , you can get spiked shaved ice too!! With large parking lot, drive through and great covered patio, you will get your refreshments fast. They have plenty of outside tables (there is no inside service), it's very colorful and family and pet friendly. Their menu has something for everyone, we got the Pineapple Express and the Mangonada, delicious and refreshing! Check the pictures I am sharing for a sneak peek of Happy Go Lucky!

    Stopped here to try their frozen cocktails. My friend had the Miami vice, which he said the alcohol seemed a bit overpowering to him. I had the lemon drop and it truly tasted very tart towards the last 3rd of the cup. Not fully our cup of tea but I would go back to try something different to see if the place could fully win me over.

    So good had to come her twice per my nephew's request. There is something for everyone here. Shaved icee for the kids and frozen drinks snd soft serve with alcohol the adults. The consistency of the soft serve was perfection. Service was pretty fast. There is also a drive through. There is a lot of outdoor seating.

    Love this places. Prices may seem steep but for the size, these are a great deal. Nice shady seating area and the wait was never too long. Daughter got add-ins that were forgotten but she didn't go up and ask so that's on her.

    Absolutely not a fan of this place. I came here for dessert after dinner and wasn't impressed. My friend swears by this place, so I thought I'd give it a go, but nope...I've had better. In all fairness, maybe I just ordered wrong, but I for sure left disappointed. Not too sure if I'll try them out again, but if I do, I will definitely be ordering something different. They have plenty of options to choose from, so that's good. If I decide to go back, I'll update this review. Maybe my experience will be different next time around.

    Great service Mia was able to help me decide which delicious soft serve to choose from! I had to go with the strawberry daiquiri super yummy and stayed frozen on this hot Houston day Melanie and Melisa were sure to check on us after we picked our flavor and the place had great vibes. I would come back again

    Cute spring/summer drink spot that's perfect for both kids and adults. The patio is spacious with plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax. Service was quick, and they offer samples upon request, which is a nice touch. There's also a convenient drive-thru as well.

    Piña Colada

    Curiosity got the best of me - I had to see what all the hype is about. Stopped by on my way home from La Lucha. I ordered a piña colada, it was served up very quickly! It was better than I thought it'd be, I can see myself stopping by every once in a while for a cold drink. Probably a good place if you're into the gram, tik tok, or whatever the kids are on these days haha. I can see these drinks being all over social media.

    Pineapple Express

    We ordered the Pineapple Express Hawaiian shaved ice and were disappointed. It was missing the pineapple purée and the pineapple boba - the cream also tasted spoiled and the ice just lacked flavor. Probably won't be back.

    OBSESSED. Happy Go Lucky is exactly what you want on a hot day--fun, colorful, delicious, and just the right amount of indulgent. I ordered the Strawberry Delight with extra condensed milk and a tequila floater, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was to die for. 10/10, no notes. It was sweet, refreshing, and had that perfect boozy kick without overpowering the flavor. My friend got the Dreamy Dreamsicle with extra condensed milk and a vodka topper, and she was in love with hers too! The setup is super cute and relaxed. It's an outdoor walk-up stand with shaded seating and plenty of fans, which kept things comfortable even in the Texas heat. They also have a drive-thru if you're on the go, but we stayed and enjoyed the vibe--and we devoured every last drop (see photo evidence ). Such a good spot for a treat, especially when the weather's nice. Bright colors, good music, strong pours, and even stronger flavors. Already planning my next visit!

    I had exceptionally high hopes for Happy Go Lucky. We were really looking forward to a Hawaiian style shaved ice option with real fruit. *It's clear that their primary focus is on creating exceptional daiquiris and alcohol options. (We are not drinkers) *I must commend them on infusing a remarkable amount of flavor into their snow cones, a true delight. I selected the Happy Rainbow, which was VERY sweet and melted quickly. Probably because Houston's 99-degree heat, but still brought a smile to my face. VERY MESSY! *Daughter got blue coconut said it was okay, she had better. *The employees were so sweet and helpful !

    Since our first visit to Baso, have been eager to return so we went for our anniversary dinner…read moreyesterday evening. Waited too late to book reservation so got bar seating but it was just fine and service was great. Upon arriving we were so nicely greeted by the hostess, felt very welcome. Our cocktails were very good--and Old Fashioned and a "Crime!". For a starter we had the aka obi, then the endive salad (best I've had!) and for entrees we shared the shrimp and the whole striped bass which is butterflied. For dessert we got the Basque Cheesecake and it was heavenly. Baso has quickly become my favorite high-end restaurant in the Heights. The portions are nice and the flavors are outstanding. We left beyond satisfied and looking forward to our next foodie adventure at Baso.

    This is honestly some of the best cooking in Houston right now, although with a price point that…read moremakes it a bit out-of-reach for a regular occurrence. This is a bit of a dated review, but we came here for a Valentine's dinner as a special occasion. We got seats at the bar counter behind the fire (which to me was the best seat in the house) so we could be close to the action. One thing you'll notice is that the place is quite loud, I think which owes to the low ceilings (so don't expect like a quiet and romantic vibe). The meal started out great with the bread and butter - bread was sourced from Magnol, which was a huge green flag to start. The oysters were extremely fresh and absolutely delicious. We also had a dish with tuna over crispy rice which was my fiancee's favorite of the night. My personal favorite was the salad (I know that is crazy to say at a restaurant that specializes in live fire cooking) - but the way they zested all different types of citrus/lemons, peppers, chiles, and the way the herbs they put into it, created what was one of the most memorable salads I have ever had. All in all the food was excellent. Service was great (the night we were there, Max Lappe was there sending out food to customers himself). I do kind of wish the atmosphere was a little more quiet. With that said, expect to spend around $200pp (we did share a bottle of wine though).

At the host stand, Paul was actually there! He must have seen my fan girly eyes get big because he immediately looked away and down at the stand... awkward.... thankfully my fan girl immediately recognized the red flags and shut down my enthusiasm (although I'm pretty sure he already heard me tell my friend "that's him" ) . The host standing beside him was very friendly and showed us to our seats. The wait staff was very efficient with the perfect amount of "checking in" and sparkling water refills. My gal pal and I went for the tasting menu: 1st course - aquechile, 5*! My favorite dish of the night. So refreshing and even though it was dark in the restaurant, the phone captured the vibrant green sauce. Delicious! 2nd course - headcheese, 3.5* Interesting dish, very unique. 3rd course - Tamal, 3*. It was ok, nothing outstanding in terms of flavor, but not my least favorite dish. 4th course - lap cheong and beans, 4*. Wonderful savory flavor and a generous portion. Beans were perfect. 5th course - carrots, 2.5*, not quite a solid 3 mainly because they were bland. Pretty to look at but unmemorable...not bad, just not anything. We didn't understand this dish. 6th course - brisket curry, 4.5* This was my 2nd favorite bite (my gal pals #1). That sauce was slap ya mama good! So satisfying. 7th course - dessert trio, 4*. A great set of bites and all different but work well together. We appreciate the waiter giving us a direction of what to eat 1st, 2nd, 3rd. I will definitely be back to try the fried chicken!
