We enjoyed a celebration and try their salads--and they did not disappoint! The wedge salad with salmon was absolutely delicious, especially with the house dressing. The Ultimate Cobb Salad was honestly one of the best Cobb salads I've ever had. The service was fantastic. Everyone on the staff was polite and attentive. Great food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere make this a perfect spot. We're already looking forward to coming back! read more

The portion sizes are the why I for sure will be back! So decided to pass by on a saturday around noon, first time here. Walked in, greeted right away and seated within 5 minutes. Restaurante was probably ¾ full. Server was really night and attentive, I do wish I remembered his name so I could've mentioned him specifically. We decided to get the chicken fried steak and salmon Benedict (I could be wrong on the name for the salmon item). Didn't wait too long for food, maybe 20 minutes? Honestly it was quicker than we had expected, didnt feel long so we were happy. The steak entree was huge, I was not expecting it to be so big and to basically be laid on top of a bed of fries. I loved the gravy that came on top of it, especially the added bacon bits. Fries were good too! I had plenty to take home of both thats for sure. My fiance did enjoy his meal as well! Both plates were big. We did enjoy a coffee afterwards as well and those were a big serving as well. Good experience and hope to be back soon. The decor and ambiance was really nice, im glad that even though the restaurant was quite busy it was never "loud" in there. read more

This place is fantastic and the ambiance is very warm and welcoming. To pair with that, my waitress Princess, was not only welcoming, but also knowledgeable about the menu, establishment, the owners, and more. This type of service is rare these days. My food was also top tier and flavorful. To compliment my meal, I had their French 75, and just like Jonathan's The Rub, it was needed and refreshing! read more

One of my favorite places. Such great staff and Philip behind the bar is the best! Food is always so good and super consistent. Love this location read more

Came to Jonathan's on the Rub for Valentine's Day and was pleasantly surprised! The food was really tasty and hit the mark, definitely exceeded expectations. The Valentine's Day set up and menu was perfect. I opted for the seafood bisque which was spectacular and the lamb chops. The chops were good but I would probably opt to try another dish next visit. The berry sauce that complimented the lamb chops wasn't my fave. Parking can be a bit tricky, and we didn't see any valet service, so plan accordingly. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

We Enjoy this place so much- especially the salads! The JTR salad and Asian! My husband loves the ultimate Cobb(great choice for avid protein lovers!). Lobster tacos (and sliders!), Denver roast, and pork chop to name a few. Honestly, take the whole menu! You can't go wrong- and add their delightful crafty drinks on the side. You will enjoy your meal and the ambience of this quaint place tucked inside Memorial. read more

I don't always give out 5 stars but when I do it's warranted!!! My work decided to have our Christmas party at this location. We ordered the following apps for the table. - Shrimp - Meatballs - Bruschetta For my meal, I had the house salad, and ribeye with onions. We ordered the following sides for the table. - Garlic mash - Asparagus - Bacon mac - French fries - Brussel sprouts I honestly do not have a complaint about ANYTHING! Everything came out fresh, the food was incredible, and the service was amazing. My favorites were definitely the delicious dry rubbed ribeye, the savory mash, the seasoned brussels, and fresh salad. The overall value is well worth the experience. I highly recommend for any occasion! read more

I would give this spot a 2.6/5 stars. I came here on a Wednesday night so thankfully parking wasn't too hard to find. The interior is polished and the bathrooms are nice and clean. For drinks, I started off with a Caramel Macchiato Martini. This was recommended by the waitress when I asked her for the bar's sweetest drink. Yes, it was sweet but it was also very boozy and had a strong alcohol aftertaste so I wasn't able to finish it but if you're someone who enjoys both sweet and boozy, this might be right up your alley! I got the bacon wrapped scallops for appetizers and even though the seasoning and flavor was decent, it was unfortunately too salty. For the entrée, I ended up getting the 16oz Traditional Ribeye. Contrary to the scallops, the steak was severely undersalted. As for the mashed potato, this was unfortuantely also a flop. The flavor of the mashed potato was more similar to a potato salad since it had that sour aftertaste as if there was a vinagerette-based dressing/seasoning in there. Regardless, I wasn't the biggest fan. Overall, the restaurant's layout was pretty, the service was fine, but the food didn't do it for me. read more

So this place describes its self as cajun style or influence. Babyy the season would like a word okay. I do believe that they season the food in correspondence with the clientele that patronages this particular location so I def need to visit the navigation location. I guess the the sports were happening on the TV by the bar and there was a lot of hollering and histrionics happening down to the bar and they were loud. The staff are friendly and they greeted me when I entered. I also appreciated the manager coming by and greeting us. He was very pleasant and endorsed their brunch offerings. The beverages were good I ordered a Paloma it was very tasty and mixed well. The ceasar salad was very tasty and small. I ordered the snapper with a side of garlic mashed potatoes yummy to the potatoes, more seasoning required for the fish. Not my fave but it was definitely fresh. My friend ordered the lobster tacos she said it was good and the crab cakes met her standard she's from the DMV. Lastly we ordered dessert and it excellent the server recommended I heat up the cake I should have because I did when I got home and it was clutch. Overall I enjoyed this restaurant and will visit the location closer to me. read more

My sister planned a dinner at JTR to celebrate my milestone birthday. The food was very good, I especially enjoyed the calamari, crab cakes and "mac and cheese". The Nutella cheese cake was "awesome" The service was excellent, there was a birthday card in the table when we arrived. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant entry is a great spot for a memorable photo, the dining room was dimly lit with soft music playing. All together, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and recommend JTR for your special occasion. read more

Food was delicious, service was so kind, and loved the overall atmosphere! We got fried green tomatoes to start off. Portion size is a little small for three people so I recommend ordering more if you have more than two dining with you. The burger was well cooked and paired well with the bun. Blackened chicken Caesar salad was seasoned perfectly and very refreshing. read more

My daughter and granddaughter treated me to a birthday dinner last Saturday night and we loved the food and elegant decor!!! My granddaughter is 3 years old, and we brought her as the restaurant has a kid's menu and highchairs. Even though the restaurant had an elegant atmosphere, our server made us, and my granddaughter feel special! Our server was friendly and checked on us at just the right intervals. The complimentary birthday dessert was super delicious. Highly recommend! read more

I took my girifriend and her mother here for dinner on a Monday in late November. Right off Memorial drive next to OG Dish Society, I heard good things about The Rub with a couple locations in the Houston area. We wanted something with a variety of menu items with an upscale decor but not ultra fancy. This place definitely fit the bill for that and left us with one of my favorite dining experiences in the Houston area. We ordered a large Pelligrino for the table which the waitstaff graciously pour for you as your glass gets lower; I appreciate the attentiveness by them on this. We also started with the Fritto Mixto and my gf's mother ordered a cup of the chicken/sausage gumbo. She raved about the gumbo and almost thought about just ordering a bowl of that as her meal as she scooped it all up to the last drop. The fritto mixto is a mixture of fried calimari & shrimp w/ marinara and a lemon butter sauce; both sauces compliment the seafood well which was crispy and seasoned well. For entrees, my gf ordered the chicken parmesan while her mother ordered the pan-seared salmon and substituted the rice for roasted cauliflower. I ordered the smoked bone-in pork chop along with a side of brussels sprouts and the mac and cheese to share with everyone. All our entrees were delicious and quite large; we had plenty to take home. Every protein was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The sides were also tasty with the mac and cheese being some of the best I've had along with the brussels sprouts. Since we took home several leftovers, we capped off the meal with some ice cream and fresh berries; a nice way to conclude a superb dining experience. Our server was gracious, polite, and professional. He was patient with our orders as my gf's mom is a picky eater. He gave some great recommendations including a nice Malbec to pair with my pork chop. I didn't capture his name but he moved swiftly and made sure we were taken care of. Took our dining experience to another level. No doubt I'll be back! read more

Restaurant is very beautiful. Menu has lots of options. The brunch options are great/ the smoked salmon Benedict was perfect and the potatoes were very good. The only issue we had was our waiter seemed annoyed that we didn't order appetizers and that we told him the A/C dripped over my friend's seat so they would be aware. His attitude the entire time was so off putting. Besides that waiter, everyone else was very kind and helpful. read more

Came for brunch with friends. Everyone enjoyed their food. Was going to also get the banana & candied pecan pancake but it's just a plain cake with pecans inside the batter and with bananas on top. So decide against it. Crab cake Benedict (sub fried egg) was really good. My friend also enjoyed her shrimp and grits. I've previously been here for lunch as well. Will be back read more

My friends and I absolutely loved Jonathan's. We attended last Saturday for our annual Christmas gift exchange. This was some of our first time here including me. Everything was amazing. The sweet chili shrimp, even the Caesar salad lol. For my entree I had the Red Fish which was topped with lump crab!!! I got mu husband the seafood gumbo to go and he loved it. I would love to come back and try some of the other items on the menu. read more

I recently had the pleasure of having brunch here, and I was genuinely impressed. The ambiance was very nice--relaxed and inviting, making it perfect for both casual meals and special outings. They have a really nice patio area. I ordered the chicken and waffles, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was very crispy and seasoned, and the cheesy grits on top of the waffles were amazing. I would definitely come back here for that. The service was also top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. All in all, a great place I'd happily recommend. read more

Quality and originality are the Words that end up coming to mind when I think about after our experience at JTR. We honestly should have tried this location sooner, there seems to be quite a bit of an up scaling compared the the I-10 location. Here at memorial Green there's more of a distinct character the comes through in the interior design, which feels like one of any of the distinguished homes in the adjacent neighborhoods. The menu is a bit bigger than I expected, ranging from steaks to Italian staples, and rounded out with HTown originals. It wasn't big in a Cheesecake Factory way (which is bad), it was dense with options that encourage new experiences and repeat visits. I ended up with a massive double pork chop that was insanely well crusted and maintained the nice juicy pork inside. The crab cake was another nice addition to the meal with a salad that came with it being sneaky good. Our daughter devoted their meatballs in red sauce, and we called it all off with a coconut cream pie that was worth the full stomach squeeze in. Lots of cocktails and seasonal drinks too, with a lively bar area with plenty of conversation. Our service was a bit on the slower side, deliberately so I believe, at certain times it's nice to have a nicely paced meal. Price was equivalent to a steakhouse restaurant's, but it feels more relaxed than that. Happy with our visit here, and happy to add it to our rotation. read more

Came here with the family for a belated mother's day brunch this weekend, and our experience was so excellent I had to write about it. First off, we had top notch service from Princess, our very kind and attentive server. Glasses were full, my parent's bacon got cooked longer, and all the suggestions made were spot on. This service is the type of attentiveness that would be enough for us to patronize this restaurant regardless of the food. But to top it off, the food was delicious! Things tasted fresh, flavorful and came in generous portions. She suggested the chilaquiles and I will second this suggestion. Steak and eggs elevated? Yes, please. We also had dumplings for appetizers and they were fantastic. I can't wait to visit again for lunch in the near future! Not sure what the dining experience is for dinner, but if its half of what it was for brunch/lunch service, would be quite pleased. read more

I was looking for a shoulder massage but instead I got some great service and good food. Team lunch on a Friday. They quickly got us set up with a table for 7. Our server was phenomenal - friendly, helpful and laughed at all my corny jokes. They have a lunch menu and a 2/$25 lunch special as well. We all ordered from that menu. They had quite a variety. Some of the options for the 1st course ;which were individual sized portions) were salads, ceviche, chicken and sausage gumbo, sweet chili shrimp, dumplings and bruschetta caprese which is what I chose. The 2nd course ranged (full entrees) ranged from salads, hamburgers, po boy, pastas, chicken and fishes. I picked the pan seared salmon. Bruschetta caprese - fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil over bruschetta bread strips. Perfect taste and amount. The bread had a slight crunch and tender cheesy inside. Pan seared salmon - came with side of rice but was told that could be subbed with something else but I'm Asian so rice was it lol, the sauce was mango based and included mango slices and a few raisins. The salmon was cooked perfectly and paired with the sauce and rice for the best bites. For an additional $5, I ordered the Nutella cheesecake. It had mousse in it which initially was odd but actually made the dessert really nice. Def would order again. The staff worked well together to get us the food and keep our drinks filled. Our server was great at giving us suggestions and explaining the different dishes. The restaurant overall was gorgeous and warm and inviting. There is parking and I think valet but it was early enough that it wasn't necessary. They also have outdoor seating. Def would return to try a few more things. read more

Went to Jonathan's the Rub at Memorial Green for my friend's birthday dinner. It was a nice experience. The waiter Maynor was awesome and really attentive. He made sure our needs were met. He even offered to take our picture after we were done. He packed our to go boxes and made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant was very pretty and aesthetically pleasing. It's an upscale restaurant but still very comfortable. I definitely would mind coming again. I tried the prickly pear margarita and it was sooo good! I had tried the three course meal that came with an appetizer, main course and dessert. I tried the meatball for an appetizer and it was delicious. I got the salmon for the main course and it was pretty good. My dessert was the Nutella cheesecake and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved my overall experience, I'll definitely be coming back. read more

My experience here was horrible to say the least. The service was atrocious. The waitress's attitude was HORRID. I ordered a cobb salad with no chicken and extra vinaigrette dressing on the side. I had to ask over 3 times where was my food. When we were preparing to leave, I finally got my entree. I received my dessert before I received my entree. We were there for a company event. The restaurant was very nice though. Plenty of photographic areas. I told my bosses, however, if they never take me to this place again, it would show how much they are concerned about me. read more

Came here with 3 others for dinner. Overall service and food was of good quality. Started with a beer which was nice and cold, and in a frosted glass. Would have liked a more varied IPA selection but that's pretty much true for any place I've visited in Houston, so won't hold it against them. The wine bottle list is extensive but wish they had more options for glasses. Forget which glass of red I got but it was fine. The ceviche and watermelon-feta salad were fresh and tasty. The ceviche could've used a bit more seasoning or 'oomph', though the flavors were fresh and clean. The watermelon feta salad with balsamic vinaigrette was also fresh and tasty, though could've used more feta, or at least bigger pieces - the small crumbles were hard to taste alongside the other flavors. The brussels sprouts with bacon, and blue cheese and mushroom & onion sauces were highlights for me, they were extremely tasty and well seasoned. We devoured both in their entirety! Tried one of my dining companion's mac and cheese, which was ok - a little dry. Ordered the filet medium rare and it came out quite rare, which was ok for us, but not what we ordered. The service was excellent, and prompt. Overall was a solid meal, though would not come back given steak is their speciality and they incorrectly cooked our steak. read more

Located on Memorial drive next to the OG Dish Society and not far from the OG Izakaya Wa. It's a nice semi upscale dining space with plenty of self parking in the parking lot in front. We swung by for lunch on a weekday. Their lunch menu had reasonable prices for a steakhouse; we ordered some apps before our mains. Southwest crab cakes -4/5, lots of crab and a nice flavor without being over seasoned Sweet chili shrimp- 4/5, sleeper hit, decent flavor and very crispy breading Caesar salad side- 1/5, this is a pretty lazy version of a Caesar salad for a nicer restaurant. The dressing was closer to a store bought Caesar dressing than a homemade/ made in store version. The cheese on there was also a bit cheap tasting; I prefer the Caesar at a few other steakhouses over this one. The croutons are nice and crispy though Ribeye 16 oz with brussel sprouts- 3/5, ordered medium rare and got a medium rare, which is great. Would have liked the fat to have rendered out a bit more on my steak. I was not a fan of their seasoning/ rub mix on the steak; salt, pepper, and butter would've been a simpler and tastier version. The brussel sprouts were cooked well but I wasn't a fan of the addition Parmesan cheese on there (it tasted like the same Parmesan that was on the Caesar salad). Overall, it was a solid meal and the restaurant had a decent appetizer menu for a change. I was not a fan of the steak seasoning but it was cooked well at a reasonable price so that's that. Think this is another one where your experience will vary depending on what you order; there may be more hidden gems or pit holes but what we ordered was slightly hit and miss. read more

Never been here, but was glad that the local go to was unable to accommodate our group. Was impressed with the bourbon selection, and was in line with other "cheaper" establishments. We got a selection of appetizers (spicy shrimp, crab cakes, lobster tacos) all were excellent good portion size. I got the chili glazed salmon. Portion size was adequate and had a great flavor. Or dessert I got the chocolate cake. This was the only thing that I didn't overly care for. The chocolate was too dark for my test. My wife liked it though. read more

We had a nice patio lunch. Good service and delicious food. We'll be back soon. Great neighborhood spot.

Brought my niece here to catch up and nosh and let's say Johnathan's was just the perfect spot for that (and I am sure I will definitely come back for lunch and dinner). Great location and a wonderful staff, space and restaurant. We came for happy hour and was not disappointed at all. Beautiful space with a nice size patio. If it's nice out, you want to be outside. But I would not be disappointed if I had to sit inside . Nice, well appointment modern space that is immaculately kept. We were greeted and seated right away by the loveliest hostess. We chose outside on the spacious patio and the atmosphere was perfect. Ordered drinks and they were perfecto. I was not really hungry but tried the chicken and sausage gumbo and it was good. Gumbo taste different everywhere you go and theirversion is very satisfying because they do not skimp on the chicken or the sausage. Gumbo aficionados be fair, give them their flowers. My niece ordered the burger with fries and when it was in our sight as it approached the table we could not believe our eyes. This burger is huge and its a delicious one. Whenever I am back on this side of town, I will definitely put this on my list. Very business casual and very elevating. Jonathan's is a delight so don't miss out. Have the crème brûlée. (It's the cherry on top/ the ment on the pillow) wink wink. read more

Stopped by on a weekday. The restaurant wasn't busy and we were promptly seated. Our waiter was very kind and made sure you give us some recommendations (and even some jokes). Overall the staff was kind, bathrooms were nice and clean and the food was good. I really liked that they had a mocktail menu. We had a few different items, below are some that stood out. Bruschetta - 4/5 good but wish the bread was crispy. More like cheese bread with tomatoes. Steamed Dumplings - 4/5 Calamari - 3/5 - good but there were only 3 shrimp House salad - 4/5 Cesar salad - 4/5 croutons were bigger than I'm used to. they had a unique sweetness to them. Berry mystic mocktail - 5/5 fruity and bright Grapefruit sangria mocktail - 5/5 nice and tart Cosmo naut - 5/5 Garlic mashed potatoes - 3/5 they were just okay Blue cheese sauce - 2/5 I was really excited about this, but it just wasn't what I expected. Too salty, felt like something was missing. Brussel sprouts - 2/5 Scallops - 4/5 tender with lots of fresh veggies Chicken and waffle - 5/5 Mac and cheese - 5/5 very cheesy Steaks - over cooked but had good seasoning read more

This is just some feedback to improve service. I like the food, the ambiance and the service and I will continue going there'. Today the waiter misunderstood the order. No big deal. We felt bad and we took the item. Then we try to order again, and long story short, the item was not available. Being in a bit of a rush, someone in our party left hungry. The manager went to our table (nice gesture) etc. After that, I was expecting them to take care of the wrong item...they didn't. So, we left hungry and paid for something we didn't order . Next time, just remove the wrong item for the bill. That gesture goes far. read more

Did a walk in to Jonathan's The Rub at Memorial on a Saturday around 1pm. Let me just say if you have never been you should go. 1st there is free parking in the front and in the back of this location. 2nd when we walked in we were greeted by a nice smiling hostess. The place has nice tables with comfortable looking chairs. We decided to sit in the bar area, where the kind bartender was our waiter. We were greeted with water and told about the regular menu and the brunch menu. Husband and I started with the fried shrimp and calamari dish which comes with 2 delicious sauces. This dish looked good and was full of flavor. We then split the entree of waffle, fried chicken and sweet corn grits. I have to be honest what we got was not what I expected it was SO much better!! There was a layer of the sweet corn grits on the bottom then the waffle then more grits then the fried chicken breast with the warm syrup on the side. Everything was beautiful and delicious. The service was wonderful and the prices were fair. I will return. read more
