    My grandson was not happy with his tigers blood snow cone. He tasted it and declined anymore. He is 2. Very vibrant and colorful building and nice layout. We went through the drive thru and had to wait a second while the young lady got off her phone. We pulled into the lot as this was a long awaited experience we were excited to have. Very disappointed by the flavor as it tasted artificial. Too sweet and not balanced. We only paid $5 so we didn't waste much. We actually threw it away and never finished it. This is a no for me....and him.

    These drinks are STRONG. I'm from Utah though, so take that as you will. Service was quick and efficient, employees were nice. Very cute seating and ambiance, loved the lights!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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 !

    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.

    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 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).

This location is casual and has plenty of seating (tables, bar + outdoor seating). You order at the counter and typically wait around 20 minutes for the pizza to be ready. It can definitely get busy which makes parking a bit tricky, but I've always managed to get parking in the lot. My go-to is the fancy backpacker. I've only tried the Pepperoni Madness and Fancy Backpacker. The crust is perfectly thin and the toppings pair well together. I would also recommend adding pepperoni to the Fancy Backpacker. Gypsy Poet is always consistent with the taste and service, you can always expect a good experience in both aspects. I think it definitely lives up to the title of having the best pizza in Houston and is one of my favorite go-to dinner spots!

We ordered the Pepperoni Madness ($17.99), which is topped with hot honey and was delicious. We also got the Cappellone ($17.99), which comes with house tomato sauce, fior di latte, mozzarella, portobello mushroom caps, shallots, and Italian sausage. It was equally delicious. The dough had a nice chew, and the crust kept that consistency throughout. This was the only pizza spot we hit up during our Houston trip, and I'm glad we chose this place. I would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for quality, artisan-style pizza. * Indoor tables are first come first serve
