    Ham breakfast taco 12/6/25
    Emily A.

    Didn't know what to expect due to the slightly strange area of The Woodlands this is in, a lot of corporate but sort of open spaces and not much else around this particular street. However it is right across from the hotel I'm staying at the Marriott CityPlace so decided to try it out. Thrilled I did. Offering a bright welcoming atmosphere, not busy at all so surprised at the size of the place, assuming it gets busy during hotel conferences, love the "island vibes" chairs and lights... on to the food they offer a gluten free pita which the employee suggest led I try instead of a smaller corn tortilla for my breakfast taco. Very good, has a slight rosemary flavor which it appears to have in it. I also ordered an NA strawberry mint refresher. SO.GOOD. Gorgeous bar with three small TVs. Just a really beautiful open lots of light restaurant. Nice and welcoming employees. Counter service. I'll probably return tomorrow.

    Gyro Pita (not a fan)
    Dave F.

    I had a craving for a gyro so I got on Yelp to search for the goods. I landed on Island Grill. When I walked in, the place seemed a mix of trendy and "cafe-ey." Of course I ordered the gyro. When the food came out, I was so disappointed. The gyro clearly came from a package - from a restaurant supply. My preference is gyro that is freshly sliced from a vertical rotisserie - sliced thin with a slight char. All of the gyro was pretty much equal in size and shape. The tzatziki was also a bit liquidy for my taste. Overall, I was not a fan. While the staff was polite, I was pretty turned off by the default gratuity options when paying. It started with 18% and went up from there. Not a big deal when dining, but the customer must order at the counter, they must get their own drinks and refills, so that default tip setting didn't make sense to me. There are more authentic options in the area. Not a fan.

    Seasonal cocktail menu 2025 - yummmm

    I love this place. It's funny, since it's not a "nice" or "high end" Mediterranean joint, but it succeeds perfectly at what it aims to be: a quicker, easier alternative to a serious Mediterranean outing that still tastes fresh and well made, is priced fairly, and comes with great service. While literally everyone I've dealt with here is great, Allison is my person. She was tending bar the first time I visited, which was... early 2024, I think? Now I know she does it all, literally. Take orders, wait tables, sling cocktails, clean at the end of her shift... And she does it with a great attitude and customer-centered mindset. She rocks. My regular go-to's are an avocado chicken pita pocket thing, a protein shake, and avocado toast (add egg and feta). Not at all once, of course - each is plenty on its own. And the bar!! Ah, the bar. For a chill, order-up-front-&-take-a-number place, this place has a GREAT bar! Great cocktails. Seriously. I recommend the old fashioned, espresso martini (which I rarely recommend anywhere), and the paloma is pretty good, too. Decent little wrap-around patio, too. I met the "Area Director," Amir, a couple of times, too - cool dude. Fresh, fast, good service, friendly people, family owned and operated. Get some!

    Wild Cod - woohoo
    Melinda L.

    Was looking for a quick protein boost after a workout. This restaurant caught my eye because they had a signboard that indicated they serve wild codfish. It was unusual to find a fish pita at a Mediterranean restaurant, especially a good quality white fish. I stood in line and ordered the Wild Codfish Pita with a side of tzaziki sauce and garlic sauce. It took a while for the order to arrive. The Codfish Pita was fresh, wholesome and healthy. The tzaziki and garlic sauce lifted the flavors of the fish pita. The portion was average. The place was almost full but it was still possible to find a high table. Ambiance was OK. The place was bright and large with many tables. The area has limited fish options so I am supportive of the restaurant's offering of wild Codfish. Hope other restaurants start offering more quality fish on the menu. They offer a complimentary serving of yogurt ice cream which was more sweet than tart. It was a good complement to the meal.

    We came here towards the end of happy hour and ordered the hummus & veggie. Food is made fresh! So don't come during lunch! We came towards dinner time and waited a bit longer - but it was sooo worth the wait! The food is absolutely delicious! I had the lamb gyro! My husband had the short ribs with double veggies in place of mash potatoes. Woww... super moist! Highly recommend!

    Gyro Rice Plate
    Hongsuk S.

    Came in for weekend lunch. Seating was easy but the food did take about 30-40 minutes to arrive because it was busy. No problem, understandable. Gyro Rice Plate - $18 The gyro meat is not the traditional thinly slice meat from a rotating spit. The meat was way too thick and it had a different consistency than what I'm used to. The seasoning was just okay. The rest of the plate was just a random pile of stir fried vegetables that was overcooked and overly soggy. Mix Kabob Plate - $21 Mix Kabob Plate's meat quantity was very miniscule compared to its $21 price tag. The beef was cooked medium well and dry, and the chicken was really dry as well. Meats were way too tough to finish. The garlic sauce was really good, though! The saving grace really was the complimentary soft serve at the end. Not as good as fast food soft serve but still was a nice touch. The ratings are high so I'm convinced I came on an off-day. I came expecting 4.3* Mediterranean food. Left without finishing all my food but was happy with the soft serve.

    Grilled Chicken Caesar wrap add garlic sauce and fries
    Karessa A.

    I'm not one to order wraps but once I ordered the grilled chicken Caesar wrap 3x in a row! Definitely add garlic sauce and get an extra on the side. Only bad thing to say is it's hit or miss on size/quality.

    Salmon pita
    Ahlyssa C.

    I went here for dinner with my family and the place was ehh... the salmon pita was lacking flavor and my lemon drop was tart with no sugar rim. 3 entrees, an appetizer, 1 alcohol drink and kids meal was over $100. Very pricey in my opinion and I did not think the food was amazing. The service was OK. I went am hope before closing so everyone seemed like they just wanted to go home. I wouldn't come back to this place. There def are better options for greek food.

    Margherita Pizza
    Scott L.

    One of my favorite places to eat. The pizzas are delicious. The quality of the flour and the cheese are spot on. I always have a hard time deciding between the pizza and the Philly cheesesteak.

    Glad I was finally able to try out this place! With so many good places in the Houston area, sometimes we take for granted new places, but also want to support the places that we like so they stay in business. So when the bakery I usually frequent across the street was full, I decided instead of waiting or trying to maneuver the inside of the bakery with 3 young children alone, to go over here because they had halal meat (chicken and gyro options). I was really happy that we were able to find close parking on the street but we usually park a little further down in the parking lot behind all the buildings when we visit city place. I heard that there is free parking in a garage nearby but I did not see any free parking in a garage; the only parking garage I saw had a sign that it was employees only. I saw a picture of what I wanted online and went with the Mediterranean plate which I have to say-- is pricey for the amount of food that you get. I expected it to be larger or for this price (almost $20) I expected it to cost less. Either or. The children options are really nice, they got the basics things, my kids were able to get the small pizza and a halal chicken meal that they enjoyed. I liked that they had a couple of different types of teas to try (ginger peach and black current) because it gets boring to only just have a sweet or unsweet tea option at restaurants. I tried the cookie that you get with the children's meal, and it are really yummy, I regretted not purchasing a few of those separately. We especially love the fact that they had frozen yogurt for a sweet treat after the meal. The inside of the place was very aesthetic looking and we are looking forward to visiting again soon.

    Dined in for late lunch/happy hour while killing some time. The atmosphere was high class, beautiful, comfortable and casual. Counter service was prompt and efficient. Food was very tasty and satisfying. So many options and choices on the menu that have enticed me to want to return.

    According to the website Island Grill is open till 9 PM tonight, I walked a mile to have dinner at the restaurant and was informed that it was closing at 7:30 pm. I don't fault management for closing early, but it needs to be posted if you're closing early. I would have gone elsewhere if I'd known they were going to be closed when I arrived.

    I would compare Island Grill to a fast food version of a Mediterranean restaurant and this is not a slight just my observation. The food is decent, you can get a free ice cream cone with your visit and they offer a small bar for the patrons who frequent City Place. On this visit was a slight mistake (maybe), but watch the cash register when you food total rings up; my bill was approximately $42.18 and when the three blocks for Tips came up the one for 10% came out to $6.18. I am still scratching my head on that one.

There are plenty tables and chairs for large groups. And sofas ( not in good condition at all... but sofas .. yes)... ya... big ones length wise. Pretty noisy actually. Good noise. Cheerful sharing while chilling over drinks and pastries - that kind of noise. Have been craving for fries lately and when I saw Common Bond, was very excited but they didn't carry the thick truffle fries which I was so fond of in the other Common Bond. Still, it was good fries and the staff was very friendly.... many high schoolers doing a summer job so they are super nice. They have a rewards program running - once registered, $spent is $earned in points which can be redeemed later. Staff was friendly and seemed like some of them were high schoolers or sort of, doing summer jobs so they were extra courteous and cautious - it was very much appreciated The fresh pastries were inviting and they had a big menu of other eats too. For me Common Bond and their specialty small dessert cakes went hand in hand. And this bakery did keep up that reputation- they had some sumptuous looking mini cakes. Definitely worth a visit.

You know, it gives gourmet without being pretentious. The bakery alone puts Common Bond in this category. If you can resist dessert order from the display case, I'm not sure you're human! The visuals and smells are always inviting, but the execution is not consistent. This time, in addition to my savory picks, It's been awhile so I thought I'd revisit my Common Bond review. This location is such a score for City Place. The only caffeine dealer apart from Starbucks walkable from the plaza, it's easy to see why patrons choose Common Bond.

Upon first glance of the interior, it looks like this space used to be a bar or something with a huge bar area in the middle of the space off to the right side. There are many circular cut outs in the ceiling where huge room fans are installed. They make all their dressings homemade, and hand bread many of their fried items like mushrooms, onion rings and stuffed jalapeños. They have salads, burgers, and 12 different comfort food entrees. They also have a daily special menu that spotlights a couple items of the day and their coffees, soups and dessert. They are a beer and wine restaurant. One unique item they have on the menu is a fork and knife hot dog which costs $13. Wow, this better be one awesome hot dog. The day I visited, they had a party for about 30 senior citizens that were celebrating a birthday. Normally that many customers in a single group would make a restaurant pretty loud, but it was actually extremely quiet in the restaurant. Every good restaurant does something slightly different to set them apart. Here at dinner, they give you a dinner roll slathered in melted honey butter and rosemary. The roll itself seemed to be made from frozen dough, but the tasty butter made it edible. I ordered the chicken club and kept the fries as my side. As far as presentation, I'd give it a C. The fries are frozen breaded fries. The sandwich tasted better than it looked thankfully. Service was good throughout my time here. Overall, the meal was good enough and I will be coming back to try other options.

A quick Google search brought this place up first with 4.9 stars, which is practically unheard of these days, so we decided to try it. Wow. What a meal. We started with the onion ring basket and a half order of beer bread. The onion rings were fantastic--huge, thick-cut rings with a wonderfully seasoned batter that actually had flavor instead of tasting flat or bland. Served piping hot, which matters to me because I like my food HOT. The ranch dressing was a great addition, too. The beer bread was decent. You could definitely taste the beer, but it wasn't the best loaf I've ever had. Mom, Mark, and I all ordered the grilled ribeye steak sandwich. I'm the only one who got it as designed on the menu. I originally expected more of a slab-of-steak sandwich, but it was actually closer to a Philly cheesesteak style sandwich, which honestly I prefer. Mom and Mark skipped the peppers, onions, garlic aioli, and pepper jack cheese in favor of lettuce, tomato, and mayo instead. Our waiter, Evan, was wonderful! He was friendly, attentive, accommodating, and clearly proud of the restaurant. He even offered to tell us the history of the building and restaurant, which added so much to the experience. The story is also printed on the back of the menu, and it's definitely worth reading. Evan mentioned he's only been there a few months, but he is absolutely an asset to the restaurant as a server. My brother Mark is blind and autistic, and it's honestly not often a server addresses him directly. They usually look to mom or me and ask, "What does he want?," but Evan asked Mark directly. Kudos to him. We had to finish the meal with the historical whiskey chocolate cake, and I'm glad we did. It's served warm with whipped cream on the side, caramel sauce drizzled across the plate, and pecans on top. Absolutely delicious and huge! There were four of us who shared it, and it was more than enough for each of us. Also worth mentioning: the sweet potato fries are an extra $4 but absolutely worth it. These are NOT frozen Ore-Ida fries dumped from a bag. They're clearly fresh cut and homemade, and they were delicious. For nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, the place was packed--at least three-quarters full--and the entire atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everyone we encountered was friendly. I live in Katy, so Old Town Spring is definitely not nearby for me, but I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area or just passing through. It's easy to see why people love it. A definite five-star experience for us!
