I have been wanting to try this new spot in River Oaks, imagine Cava concept but 10 times better! Just walking inside you notice how clean it is and they have a beautiful set up with umbrellas to sit outside when the weather allows it. The concept is a line of ingredients and you make your bowl, or choose from the menu. We dis our own bowl, and I live how their ingredients are so different from Chava and Chipotle, they have white, wild and black rice, greens and veggies. In the veggies bar they had roasted beets, sweet potatoes and mushrooms, but in big chunks not tiny pieces, the meets they have raw season tuna, grilled chicken, honey mustard chicken and steak. The staff is very attentive and guide you through the options. Parking is not a problem and it's free. This is definitely a great place to enjoy a flavorful and healthy meal! read more

My partner and I were shopping nearby and decided to stop here for lunch. Easy to locate, the restaurant's sign is huge up front. Parking: There is extremely limited parking infront of the restaurant, so I recommend parking in the Barnes & Nobles parking lot and walking over to this restaurant if parking is packed. Customer service: The people were nice. They did mentioned that they do not "mix" your salad for you even if you request for it and they can give you a lid so you can shake it up yourself. Food: it's a build-your-own-bowl style restaurant, like cava, sweetgreen, salata, leaf & grain, medocino, etc. I've been to most in Houston and I usually like all of them. I got the Za'atar Spring Bowl and my partner got the Smoky Pablano. You get one sauce for your bowl. Za'atar Spring Bowl - 3/5 Smoky Pablano - 4/5 I switched my bowl with my partner because their crispy chickpeas is unnecessarily harder than most crispy chickpeas I've ever encountered, I didn't want to risk cracking my tooth so I swapped my bowl, my partner also made a comment about the hardness of the chickpeas. Their agua Fresca are also super sugary sweet, so drink moderately. read more

We had been waiting to try Honest Mary's as they were new to our neighborhood. The concept is a lot like Cava where you build your own bowl. They use fresh ingredients and the flavors on their toppings are unique. I came here with my girlfriend and we each did a build your own bowl. You can get a grain or veggies as your bowl base and then can select one meat. We got the lemon basil chicken as our meats. The chicken was very good so I highly recommend this I got the maple glazed carrots and curry roasted cauliflower as my sides and my girlfriend got the broccoli and Brussels sprouts. You also get your choice of two topping. I got the edamame and avocado. You also get to choose one sauce and I got the creamy poblano. The bowls were very high quality and you can taste the freshness in all of the ingredients. It is unfortunate that they only give you two sides and two toppings. Everything you add on top of that is extra but I understand the limit of sides and toppings with how much care they put into each side and toppings. The servers here are super nice and helpful. The variety of ingredients is also refreshing. The restaurant itself is very clean and well put together. We sat on the patio because it was a nice night out. The price here is reasonable for the quality of food you're getting. If it was unlimited bowl toppings, I would give this place 5 stars. We will be coming back here for sure. read more

After being at Methodist all morning with my wife we were looking to get something somewhat on the cleaner side for lunch. Ai recommended Honest Mary's! Parking was crowded due to being in a tight strip center. A few free spots the rest you have to scan QR code, however first 30 minutes were free. The place itself was clean, Chipotle style, the servers were very friendly. We each got the garlic steak bowl. It was very flavorful. We enjoyed it and if in the area would probably eat there again. read more

Whew so this is the new health food store on the block. It apparently reigns from my home town ATX. I've never heard of it but I wanted to check it out because it was described as a health food place. I pull up and this shopping center is not great because it has limited parking. I get lucky and snag a close park. I walk in and to my immediate right there is a condiment station and then the menu up top. Alas. This place is essentially sweet green with fewer options. As a person that is pescatarian they only offer 3 options absent of meat. The poke tuna bowl portobello bowl and a veggie bowl. I tried the veggie bowl. Um yeah no. It was bland with odd flavor profiles and not very filling or appetizing. The mix of ingredients just didn't do it...the other option with the poke tuna doesn't give an option to cook the tuna. Anyrate I don't know that I would try it again. There are better salad bowl options in my opinion. read more

Heard about through the grapevine! Located in the same plaza as Pizanna. They have a good amount of seating indoors and outdoors as well. Very good on a a day with nice weather! Tried the Build Your Own Bowl w/ Garlic Pepper Steak. The meat itself was marinated well and flavorful. You're limited on the # of market sides and toppings (2 of each). On the plus side, no extra charge for avocado. For my base i got the black forbidden rice (good texture), market sides i got the roasted sweet potatoes and charred broccoli and for toppings i got the avocado and asian slaw. For my sauce, I opted for the chimichurri sauce and they give that to you on the side. Not super flavorful. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, it was just okay and filling. I wish you could add as many toppings as you wanted. Parking - Free in some designated spots within the plaza read more

Honest Mary's - pesto chicken bowl - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food and ambience were seriously lacking. This is another example of a corporate restaurant with absolutely nothing positive to show for it. The bowls do not look or taste fresh or flavorful. I found previous positive reviews interesting because my own experience was so different. read more

Absolutely love this new neighborhood staple. Light, bright and clean interiors for dining in and an incredibly easy online ordering and pick up system for take out. The food is fresh, healthy and very tasty. This is going into our regular rotation asap. read more

Honest Mary's - Build your own chicken bowl - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

Honest Mary's is a great, new casual "bowl" spot in the River Oaks Shopping Center. Honest Mary's reminds me a lot of Leaf & Grain. I got a to-go build-your-own bowl with honey mustard chicken, and it was great. It was super easy to order online, and my bowl was sitting on the counter waiting when I picked it up. Tasty, easy, and makes-me-feel-healthy-though-not-sure-it-is is a quick summary of the bowl. The only issue I experienced was parking--that shopping center's parking is tight, particularly during the lunch hour. read more

The black rice and wild rice were cooked perfectly (plump and dry). Fried chickpeas were super crunchy and addicting. The lemon basil chicken was tender, while the garlic pepper steak was tough and not very flavorful. The poke (tuna) was soft. Corn relish and edamame were pretty good. Asian slaw seemed kind of oily. The arugula seemed kind of dried out and not as bright as they could be. 30% off sipping broths when you bring back the tumbler. read more

Honest Mary's - Grilled Chicken Bowl - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

Food fantastic, great ambiance but they don't clean tables, I come very often & have always had to clean my own table!

I ordered the chimichurri bowl. While it is packed with flavor, the steak itself is not fresh AT ALL. It definitely has a frozen taste to it. Chipotle's steak is much fresher than Honest Mary's. Also, the chickpeas would be better if they weren't so crispy. Probably won't be coming back. read more

First time ordering here. Ordered a chicken bowl and it was delicious. Service was so so. I was given the bowl with no bag and no plasticware. Everything matters when it comes to customer service. read more

Don't steal the agua fresca!! Bowl was pretty good if on the expensive side. Service was fine, but it's really weird when you're checking out and the lady asks you to please fill your cup with water and not their precious agua fresca. Once you're getting water, you are once again reminded of this. Super weird obsession by them. read more

Honest Mary's - Please refrain from stealing - Salad Near Me - Houston, Texas

Decent options, but staff is poorly trained or too busy to look at what they're doing. Ordered two salads in the app. Both were wrong and there's no way to remedy it. As a "health food option" they should be paying attention to noted allergies on food. I.e don't add coconut to an order when the allergy indication was noted. read more

This location really need way better employees the gentleman that was serving my bowl was rushing me and just throwing my food in my bowl . I don't know if he didn't feel like working today but he definitely had a terrible attitude. The cashier Monica F also had a bad attitude as well ! It's really sad because I always come here and get food . Hopefully the headquarters do something about this because Iam truly upset . read more

If you want great quality food, definitely go to this place o m gosh it was incredible and definitely my family loved it. I am so pleased!

Really unique concept healthy eating with awesome taste and great service! Their bowls are delicious and soooo many choices! I had the lemon chicken, and hubby had the poke, we're definitely coming back for more! read more

It's ok. The bowls are smaller than other competitors. Brussels are plain. Nothing special.

So happy this place opened up right across the street from us, very impressed with freshness and quality. They have a great assortment of unique healthy ingredients and flavorful proteins and sauces. My bowl was the perfect amount of food and I felt good about eating it. Everyone who helped us was friendly and warm. The restaurant is newly renovated, clean, and the decor is super cute. A really enjoyable experience all around. I'll be back regularly. read more
