Our family came in on a Sunday for lunch, this place is absolutely beautiful and very large. Our server was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. We ordered tortilla soup, fish tacos, hamburgers fish platter with a few sides. The burgers were juicy, and the bread was fresh and delicious. The tacos and the fish were also very good. We will definitely be back read more

I finally made it out to JTR Bridgeland. I had originally planned to meet up with the Cypress Supper Club, but unfortunately the restaurant double-booked our reservation and our group couldn't be accommodated at the last minute. As anyone who organizes group dinners knows, once a reservation is canceled, it's difficult to get everyone together again. Tonight, we were finally able to meet with a smaller group. I ordered the sea bass, which was served with new potatoes, carrots, and asparagus. Unfortunately, the fish didn't seem to be cooked consistently, and the vegetables lacked flavor and seasoning. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Nutella cheesecake. I also ordered a cappuccino with dessert, but it didn't arrive until we were about two-thirds of the way through eating. Even worse, it was cold. I'm not particularly picky about my coffee, but if I noticed it was cold, it was definitely cold. Overall, the experience was fair. It took quite a while to receive our checks, even after we requested them, despite the restaurant not appearing busy. While my check was correct, other guests experienced issues, and there seemed to be some confusion regarding how the bill should be split. We were never asked beforehand. We also waited more than 45 minutes for a small to-go box and eventually repacked our food ourselves. I've visited two other JTR locations, and both the food and service were noticeably better. I was excited to finally have one open closer to home, but unfortunately this visit left a lot to be desired. read more

I recently visited Jonathan's The Rub in Bridgeland as part of the Cypress Supper Club, a group that gets together about once a month. Our dinner had actually been rescheduled after a previous booking issue, where the alternative offered was driving to their other location about 30 minutes away. Thankfully, this visit went ahead as planned. There were only five of us dining, which made for a nice, intimate evening. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout most of the meal, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I ordered the bruschetta with mozzarella, chicken Alfredo, a Prosecco, an espresso martini, and Nutella cheesecake for dessert. I also ordered the salmon and Brussels sprouts to-go for my husband. Overall, the food was good, but there were a few misses. My chicken Alfredo was noticeably underseasoned and would have benefited from more flavor. Unfortunately, it took quite a while to get salt and pepper after requesting it, and by the time it arrived, I was over halfway finished with my meal. The biggest challenge of the evening was the wait at the end. After asking for our checks, our table waited approximately 45 minutes before everything was wrapped up. We were also waiting on a to-go box while the rest of our group had already left. It appeared that our waitress may have left for the evening before everything was fully completed, which contributed to the delay. Pricing was on the higher end, though fairly typical for the Bridgeland/Cypress area. My total bill was just under $200 including tip. Overall, I had a good experience. The atmosphere was pleasant, the drinks and dessert were enjoyable, and most of the food was solid. However, the booking mix-up, underseasoned entrée, and lengthy wait to close out the meal kept the experience from being exceptional. I'd be willing to return and give them another try, but there are definitely some service details that could be improved. read more

Jonathan's The Rub Bridgeland - Chicken Alfredo - American Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Had reservations on Saturday. Sat immediately. Ordered drinks and scallop and bacon appetizer. Our appetizer came out before our drinks. Waitress came and asked for our dinner order. I said I guess we should have asked for waters cause our drinks haven't even came. She went and got for us. Just beers. Nothing crazy. Then she brings are drinks and the glasses aren't even full. Like come on already. Appetizer was so tiny for $6 a scallop is crazy. Then dinner comes. Drinks empty ...no water. Asked for both. Finally showed up halfway through dinner. We gave them time to open up and work out the kinks before we went and spent $200 on dinner. Lesson learned. We will go for lunch after shopping at HEB. For that price I want exceptional service and food. Now the steak. Yes good. Nothing I couldn't do at home. Chilean sea bass though was phenomenal. Staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. Our waitress was just lost. I watched the poor manager take back 3 steaks but prepared correctly. Seen one guy just give it back after the second go around. They're trying but I'm not trying at that price again Gave 4 stars mainly for the Chilean sea bass and Mac n cheese Atmosphere was very welcoming. Nice decorations and semi private booths read more

After recently moving to Bridgeland, we knew this place was a must-try. The building is beautiful and everything we had was delicious. We were told the whole concept started with their original burger and the rub they use on it, so that was a definite choice. I ordered the Asian salad and ended up taking home half the salad (and an extra side of the peanut sauce dressing because I practically drank it) and I got the a kids order of chicken and fries. Their chicken is nothing to sleep on since because it most likely is battered in house and to order. There is nothing ordinary about their strips! Also, ask for a side of blue cheese if you get fries. It tastes like a Parmesan mixture that is now a must when we go back. Everything was delicious and the waiter we had was phenomenal. Excellent meal! read more

We happened to see this place one evening after leaving HEB and figured we'd give it a try one day. Unfortunately, we didn't do any research before going on a Friday during happy hour. Immediately upon arrival, we were asked if we had a reservation. The restaurant was practically "full" and the bar was packed, but there were several empty tables that were reserved. We were given the option to be seated on the patio and waited an half hour before being seated. I was a little disappointed because some people after us were offered wait time on standard/bar seating. But I digress. The patio area had direct sunlight for that time of day. Several customers were attempting to shade their eyes/face using various items. I'm guessing someone inside complained about the sunlight and a huge umbrella was used to cover the window. It would have been nice if something like that was offered to the patio guests. We ordered from the happy hour menu: Steak Skewers and Loaded Mashed Potato Balls. For drinks they provided complimentary water and we ordered a whiskey sour and the Tropical Thunder from the happy hour menu as well. Everything was good. We're considering returning for dinner eventually but will keep in mind that we need to make a reservation. read more

Jonathans who is known for excellent food did not meet the mark in Bridgeland. I had the sliders (2) they were over cooked and had nothing on them but cheese. I then tried the ceviche it was dry, dry, Sahara dry nothing on it, seasoned but not seasoned with good flavors, not good at all!! . This food is far less than expected having been a customer of Jonathan's in the memorial area. I expected it to be chef inspired high end cuisine but it is "cook" level food. Jonathan came out west and lost all his flavor on the trail ride. Jonathan remember that just because you're away from where people's taste buds are more refined that you should still bring the best flavors to represent your Name and Brand. Extremely disappointing! read more

We went to Jonathan's the Rub in Bridgeland last minute with our neighbors (party of 6) yesterday. Since it was last minute, there were no reservations available, but we arrived early and sat in the bar as there are 2 larger tables. There is a little flaw in planning the space because half our party had the sun directly in their eyes for about an hour. There was no way to shade the offending windows (door? I'm not sure but some windows had shades) We ate almost completely off the happy hour menu, trying bites of everything. Everything we had was delicious-both specialty drinks and food. The prices were a bit high and while they were trying to make it easy and just have all the food for $8 each-it was inconsistent. For example, the ceviche portion was big enough for 2-3 people for $8, but the bruschetta was just one small slice of bread for $8. Again-everything we tried was very tasty. We ended our night sharing 2 pieces of cheesecake to celebrate a birthday. It was also delicious! The service was good-sometimes the drinks were a little slow but it's a new restaurant and I think that will work out in time. Overall it was a good experience and we'll make a reservation to try the main dining room next time! read more

Oh Deary oh my. Not sure if this was a case of a bad apple spoiling the bunch...however... Arrival was a few minutes prior to happy hour ending and bar space was found. The...lovely barkeep lady was none too happy to take the drink and food order for happy hour given the time to spare, having to request a happy hr. menu instead of the standard menu. If you have ever worked industry, you do not begin by telling people "there is only 10 minutes left during happy hour" and present only regular menus. No kidding. That's like telling Moses he had a time limit to get down the hill. Progression downhill (pun?) as attitude, intonation, and connotation are key for a good barkeep. The beef skewers were amazing. Tender and juicy. Well seasoned. The ceviche saved. Light. Fresh. Well dressed. Clean taste. The shine. The niggle comes down to service. New and popular location. If you did not want to work that night or take happy hour orders...had a bad day...or are hung over at that time of the afternoon...whatever...stay home and call in. Having worked industry... even as a line cook...If it is the last minutes of happy hour...now is your time to shine and make the sale. Then upsell clients by your outstanding service instead of being...shall we say...prickly...uninviting, and ignoring making your clients just get the mediocre bill and leaving. Won't be back until the training wheels are off and the real pros/veterans come in to shine. Till then. Rock solid 2.5 stars. read more

This was our 1st time at this location. The atmosphere has a "date night" vibe. Our server was super attentive (can't recall his name, unfortunately). We enjoyed delicious wine and a cocktail before dinner. I absolutely loved my Waldorf Chicken Salad and my husband enjoyed his Denver Roast. We ordered desserts to finish our evening. Everything was perfect! We'll definitely be going back to try other things on their menu! read more

The food at Jonathan's the rub in Bridgeland is so average. I had the seabass and the fish tasted like it hadn't been properly washed or prepped or maybe it wasn't fresh. I was quite disappointed. I didn't finish my food and when the waiter asked if I wanted it to go I said NO. The seafood pasta also lacked seasoning. I don't know if they are cooking for people that like bland food. Bring your own seasoning when coming here. I wish there was a better upscale option In Bridgeland because Jobathans the rub is NOT IT. The only good thing is the TRES LECHES. Super delicious. read more

I'm so happy Jonathan's The Rub has made it to Bridgeland! I've been wanting to try their food and finally got the chance to. The interior decor is lovely inside. Everything is clean and aesthetically pleasing! For our appetizers we ordered the Sweet Chili Shrimp and Maryland Crab Cakes. The shrimp really surprised me, I was not expecting them to be so big! When I saw the size I thought they were gonna be full of breading but no, they were large shrimp. The sweet chili sauce is good but very sweet. I would order them again. As for the crab cakes, those were my mom's pick and she wasn't a fan. It tasted like a crab burger. It was a lot of breading and the crab was mixed too much and there wasn't much flavor to them. We also decided to order a small caesar salad to share and we somewhat had an issue with our salad but it was handled. The first salad we received had so much dressing on it. Some people might enjoy that but it was too much for our liking. Our server even noticed it was more than it should've been on there and he got us a new one with no problems. As for the taste it was good and I can tell it was homemade but I don't know it was very heavily mayo based. It was too much of something yet still missing something but I don't know what. I feel like many people would enjoy this salad though so I would still recommend it. For my meal I went with the Double Smashed Burger. The burger was flavorful, juicy and cheesy. Those grilled onions set it off. It was delicious. My only complaint would probably be the sweet bun, i'd prefer one that's not sweet but I know sweet buns are popular with burgers so I don't mind especially since it was so good. I can't forget about the hand cut fries. Those were delicious as well. If there's anything I can recommend is this meal. You can't go wrong with a juicy burger and fries. Hopefully I'll return soon and update my review with a better experience! I still want to try more of their menu items! As for service, my server was pretty busy so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as it's valentines weekend. Thankfully there wasn't a wait when my mom and I arrived at around 4 PM on a Friday but the crowd does pick up so i'd suggest coming early or to RSVP! read more

Judd is the best part of coming to Jonathan's! He is very attentive and provides excellent service. We have been several times now and it is hit or miss on the food and drinks. I have decided that their appetizers and sides are the best and I really enjoyed the parmesan flounder as well after I picked off the peppers. The sauce was amazing although could have had a little more on it. The sweet chili shrimp is amazing and if you get a side or two that completes the meal! Try to be seated in the bar area or the separate room away from the kitchen. You will leave smelling like BBQ if you sit too close. It stays pretty busy on the weekends so a reservation is highly recommended. read more

Jonathan's The Rub initially presented itself as a strong contender, but the second impression reveals a noticeable drop in execution. Service, which previously felt efficient, lost its pace. Not dramatically poor, but inconsistent enough to be felt throughout the experience. The ribeye. previously the expected anchor of the meal. fell short in a critical way. Flavor was nearly absent. The garlic butter, rather than enhancing the dish, felt more like an aesthetic addition than a functional one. Present, but not contributing. There's a difference between subtle seasoning and missing intention. This leaned closer to the latter. The structure of the restaurant experience remains intact, but the core of it, the food no longer supports the pricing or expectation. 3.5/5 and a B-. capable on paper, underwhelming in execution. read more

I've had a great experience and a not so great experience. While the food is great, they do not seem to excel when they are under pressure.

Bar! Young bartenders - please be mindful of either washing your hands after rubbing your nose & putting fingers in mouth when listening to others,etc OR build the discipline to keep hands off your face when making Drinks. Especially the "charcuterie" style set up you have to dress drinks - you can't expect us to be ok with you rubbing your face before sticking sprigs and orange slices... in our drinks. You're friendly and make great drinks otherwise. read more

Came for a girls' night out, and our group of four had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Despite it being a Thursday night, every seat in the house was occupied which was great to see and added to the lively atmosphere. Across the table, we sampled four cocktails, four appetizers, four entrées, and a dessert. Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations. Notes on standout dishes below. Appetizers Ceviche - 5/5 Bright, well-balanced flavors with seafood diced perfectly to pair with the thick, ultra-crunchy tortilla chips. Fritto Misto - 5/5 Perfectly crisp, well-seasoned batter with tender squid and shrimp throughout. Bacon-Wrapped Scallops - 4/5 Very fresh scallops with great flavor; I would have loved a slightly deeper sear for a touch more exterior crispness. Crab Cakes - 4/5 Nicely seasoned, though I would have preferred a bit more flaky crab texture rather than a more blended consistency. Entrées Shrimp - 5/5 Bold and flavorful, slightly on the salty side but pairs well with a complementary side. Cioppino - 5/5 A lighter, more delicate take than the traditional tomato-based version, yet still rich and brimming with shellfish. Denver Roast - 5/5 Hearty and comforting, with an excellent red wine gravy. The slow-roasted beef was tender and paired beautifully with the mashed potatoes. Redfish New Orleans Special - 5/5 A special offering similar in style to the shrimp entrée. Perfectly cooked, well-seasoned fish balanced nicely with rich, cheesy grits. Overall, it's refreshing to have such a high-quality, upscale dining option in the area without needing to drive into the city. A great spot for a celebratory night out or a special occasion. We can't wait to go back! read more

My friend and I recently met at Jonathan's The Rub for a weekday lunch. We were seated immediately and our waiter took our drink and appetizer orders very quickly, so the service was excellent. The restaurant was beautiful, as was the decor. The crab cake appetizers were just OK. I'm from Maryland, and they did not come close to the quality of Maryland crab cakes. The fish tacos were horrible - the fish was dry and had a very strong fish flavor and odor, and the flavors of the vegetables included on the tacos did not blend well with each other. I expected much better food for the price, particularly with the hype I've seen on various social media pages. I suspect alternative entrees might be better, but I am not going back. read more

An amazing first experience for our party of 7. Judd made it so fun and personable.

Great, food great place! My family went there for a celebration. Had a great time and not a single person complained. Everything was great.

We had a fantastic experience on JTR's first Friday open. Cocktails, wine, & food were great. We had one little hiccup with our appetizer that was quickly taken care of by Shepard. Jasmine made sure to take great care of us. She gave great recommendations on the menu. My chicken piccata delicious! And my husbands ribeye was cooked to perfection. We had chocolate cake and tiramisu for dessert. We preferred the tiramisu but the chocolate cake was still so good. While the prices are a bit higher than some of the restaurants in the area the portions are huge! We should've shared entrees and sides. Overall a fantastic addition to Bridgeland's restaurant selection. I can't wait to go back and try a smash burger next! read more

Tonight was my first time trying out the Bridgeland location and wow it didn't disappoint at all. I've enjoyed seeing JTR being just concrete, to a building and the build out to a completed amazing restaurant with an awesome atmosphere and food. The service was great! The Chicken Parmesan was the best I have ever had and the Apple Pie Cheesecake dessert was the best cheesecake I have ever had as well. These two items are staples of mine that I order but hands down both were the best I have had from all over the US. It was great to visit with Jonathan and can't wait to go back. read more

we dined at the new Bridegland Friday night. Bar area was nice and we had a cocktail while we waited just moments to be seated for our reservation. Our waiter was a great ambassador for the new Jonathons, a young man named Judd. He was very knowledgable, and we followed his suggestions for Dr. Pepper Pork Chop and a small Filet, with J-1 sauce. Food was fantastic, wine by the glass was fairly priced and good selections. Finished the night with a Knee to Grasshopper dessert martini, which was excellent. Easily the best dining in the Cypress area. Thanks Judd for a great first visit. Bobby c. read more

The place is lovely with great ambiance. Our waiter was attentive and friendly and I have no complaints. My lemon drop martini was really good as well as my ribeye steak which was cooked perfectly and seasoned nicely! I got Mac and cheese and asparagus as the sides and both were very good. My son had the shrimp kids meal and said it was ok. The Caesar salad was good but I wasn't a fan of the croutons, they lacked flavor and the consistency was weird and crumbly. My biggest complaint was the appetizer, it was just ok. We ordered the frito misto and it had only 2 shrimp and ALOT of calamari, it was enough for 4 people for sure, but presentation seemed off from the rest of the meal. It was cooked nicely with a crunch light breading but it was served with cocktail sauce which tasted like just ketchup and tartar sauce. I would suggest more shrimp and different sauces, maybe a remoulade or a lemon garlic butter sauce along with a spicier cocktail. Overall it was good and I loved the location on my side of town and I would recommend trying it! read more
