Our son and daughter-in-law raved about the "healthy" food at this place and we met them for a very tasty lunch. We snarfed a couple Alamo plates with a plethora of goodies, brown rice, shredded kale, TX blend of shredded cheeses, cherry tomatoes, black beans, diced red onion, tortilla chips, roasted pieces of chicken thigh and a killer chipotle-lime vinaigrette and a squeeze of lime....came with a slice of sourdough.....amazing. The girls both got Meditteranean protein plates, white basmati rice, roasted pieces of chicken thigh, mozzarella-tomato salad, warm chickpeas, roasted broccolini, hummus, tzatziki spicy harissa, yum. Our granddaughter got her own plate, a bento box wit' grilled brussel sprouts, grilled cauliflower, brown rice and grilled chicken which she kept trying to feed to grandma. The Kids meal was half price. We shared three cookies between 3 adults and 2 grandbabies, one L&G cookie, a brownie and one rosemary shortbread cookie. Everybody got to taste my berry smoothie. Everything we tried was very good. We'll be back for more of these "healthy" goodies.

Decided to come back for another delicious meal. We got the Veggie salad and Thaiger king salad. Both were SO delicious. The serivce was quick and timely. The food was flavorful and the restaurant itself was clean and tidy. Would def come back everyday if i could!

I have driven by this spot so many times, and I always told myself I would stop by. I finally got around to it, and it was well worth the wait The exterior is very inviting, with a well lit entrance, cozy patio seating, and visible signage. The interior is exceptionally clean and clean, spacious, and trendy I was impressed my the signature salad/bowl options. There are so many fresh ingredients available, everything looked and sounded delicious The person assisting me with my order was one of the nicest employees I'd interacted with in a long time. Great suggestions, small talk, and he made me feel welcome and well taken care of There is a big/long menu above the ordering station with clear names, ingredients, etc. The salads/bowls aren't overly pricey, and for the amount of components you get, I found there to be an incredible amount of value The food was tasty and fresh. Everything was made to order, but didn't take too long to assemble Some tips: Ask someone who works there way they recommend. Definitely ask for some of their sour dough on the side, it pairs really well with any bowl. The fresh/healthy drinks are very delicious and are noticeably "healthy," but in the best way possible Cheers!!

Wow wow wow! Such an amazing healthy restaurant! Think of this as a healthy version of chipotle & cava if they had a baby. They have bowls, salads & actual plate dishes if you're more on the hungry side. When you first walk in for the first time it is a bit confusing where to order due to there being no clear signage/arrow or line divider saying to order here sort of like chipotle. Once you get there the staff is friendly and offer suggestions and top items most people order. I got the Common Table grain bowl and it was DELISH! So happy I found this and will forever be a returning customer :) the cookies there are also yummy!

Went here for the first time for weekday lunch. Was not busy at all but it seemed like they had a ton of call in or delivery orders. Every option looked amazing but was watching calories so went with this salmon dish. Man was it good. Was a great combination of flavors and I didn't use any dressing. I don't think I would have changed anything about it. I will definitely be going back.

Now that 2024 has rolled around, many of us are detoxing and trying to get ourselves set up with healthier habits while eating delicious food. Leaf & Grain embodies both, while maintaining consistency and has garnered a loyal following in the process. They're a stellar option in West U and certainly one of my favorite places to not just enjoy a good meal, but a meal that's good for you. I tend to prefer coming on the weekdays, as it's never too busy in here. The clean and bright interior makes this place an ideal spot for a quick lunch, meeting, or even a small gathering. They have limited outdoor seating and plenty of parking to boot. One cannot go wrong with either a grain bowl or a salad bowl. The Alamo or Common Table bowl has been my go-tos, and the L&G Caesar and the Autumn Harvest have been excellent salad choices. I particularly enjoy the seasonal offerings, which vary throughout the season but are great even if they are temporary. I've been hooked on their hot plates as of late, the French Country Dinner is a real treat. The smoothies are not talked about enough. The Chunky Monkey is always a fun choice, but the Leaf & Green is always a reliable choice. Berry Boost! is really great during the summer time, but the Strawberry Banana is actually a thumbs up for kids. To make things even more awesome, their ultra generous first time Yelp check-in offer (25%) is easily among the best in the area. Plenty of corporate chains do what Leaf & Grain does but very few do it as well. It's hard not to be impressed with all that Deets and his amazing team has done. Their empire has slowly grown to several locations, their quality and operations have never wavered. I am happy to support a local chain and truly feel they're one of the best local fast casual options in the city.

the salad was ok. the cucumber aqua fresca drink took a while to dispense. they also do not accept cash.

Leaf and Grain is a great healthy restaurant that primarily sells salad bowls. I do wish leaf and grain had better options for vegetarians. Most of their salad bowls have grilled chicken as the base protein. You customize everything. I replaced chicken for grilled tofu. However, I thought my salad was overpriced for the amount of tofu I got. I ordered the good greek salad. The salad was flavorful and dressing was tasty. Definitely get dressing on the side so you can adjust flavor to your liking. The complementary sourdough bread was also delicious. Compared to other salad places, Leaf and Grain is more pricey with less topping options for customizing your dish but it is a healthy lunch/dinner choice.

Jane O.

Ordered the lemon caper salad as part of a DoorDash group order. My salad was delicious--the salmon was well cooked, the green beans/arugula were fresh and overall happy with my order. On DoorDash the meal was listed for $16.98 so a bit on the pricey end for a lunch portion and unfortunately they only sent 1 fork for the 5 orders. That's pretty much the reason for the loss of a star as it was very inconvenient to have to then go on a hunt for eating utensils.

The pick up are; ordering is just to the right-all ingredients visible.

Dropped in for dinner after work one night because my partner and I wanted something light and didn't want to cook. The salads were excellent, good sizes, not to big or too small. The fresh bread was also delicious. Only reason I'm doing four stars instead of five is because the drink section is rather limited. We were both fine with water or iced tea that night, but if you're looking for something caffeinated or sweeter than tea to go with your salad, there isn't much to choose from. Will definitely return. Dinner time was probably way less busy than lunch would be given the location, which meant there was plenty of space to sit and we were able to have a conversation without having to talk over others. read more

The food at Leaf and Grain makes me want to do a workout. It tastes so healthy, gets me right for the day with protein, and is outright delicious. The service matches the quality of food -- my sandwich was personally delivered by an owner. I think his name was Ed. The restaurant is so popular that it is often packed, but the line never takes more than a couple of minutes. The AC in there cranks which is huge for these hot HTX summers. read more

Ordered delivery for work lunch and it was AMAZING. I got the Good Greek! warm bowl and it was a large portion, reasonable at under 500 calories, and so tasty. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The feta is honestly fantastic and I lovvvvve the vinaigrette. It's also so reasonably priced! The immunity bowl and Alamo are getting rave reviews around me too so we will definitely be adding this into our rotation! The only wish I would have is a larger paper bag for delivery orders--the small green ones didn't work so well and our food was in there lopsided (did not affect the excellent taste). read more

We first ate here when Weslayan flooded, and we were impressed that the manager was treading through the flood water where cars were stuck to offer free snacks and water. The service here is beyond exceptional. The salads and bowls use fresh vegetables and taste amazing. I definitely recommend the L&G Cesar Salad and the Alamo Bowl. The Parmesan crisps on the Cesar are super yummy! The coffee tastes different, but it's delicious. It's very smooth and does not have any bitterness. The employee who makes the coffee (Susan) is so friendly and freaking awesome. She was very genuine and recognized us immediately, despite only having gone to Leaf and Grain once before! Overall, this place is great! Fair pricing, great staff, and good food! read more

First the positives - THANK YOU For bringing a healthy food option to Houston. We are so in need of them. Leaf and Grain uses mostly sustainable serving ware as well so good for the planet! I tried the Pollo Laredo salad and I'm sorry to say it was a big disappointment. The cilantro jalapeño dressing tasted more like a vinaigrette and made the lettuce soggy. The chips were bad - this is Texas after all. There wasn't much else to it. I would occasionally find a corn kernel and a tomato which did seem very fresh. Suggestions would be: better chips or thin tortilla strips that won't get soggy, a cilantro jalapeño RANCH dressing, more corn/tomato and possibly something like fresh cilantro added. read more

What it is exactly is a loaf of bread with the inside taken out so that it's like more of a shell and then it is a salad bowl like mixture stuffed in there. I feel like it's the perfect lunch because It's super filling, but also very light, and healthy! What more can you ask for. Wish I could even give this location 6 stars because I came about 40 minutes before close and he gave me 2 bread puddings for free because they were about to close.

Easy parking. Easy order. Quick service! I really do find…read morethem delicious, this concept of a salad inside a crispy bread. They warm the bread, remove the inside and leaves the crispy outside to fill in with salad. Their salad recipes are good, especially the southwest one with avocados and black beans. Substitutions seem welcome and you get to choose your own sauce. Of course, let's not forget they offer Zapp's chips, which are delicious. Overall great and filling meal. Oh, so many tables to sit alone or as a group. Great place to be ! Leaving satisfied and would want to come back!

It was on a Wednesday and I found parking on the street not far from here. First thing I noticed was the margherita pizza. I chose the vegan version with vegan cheese. Friends were looking at me crazy. Margherita pizza has no meat already. No, it's the cheese that I can't eat. I think it was very flavorful. I shared it with a couple of friends. Their reactions were opposite. I don't blame them. Vegan cheese is not really cheese. Hahaha. Mashed potatoes was pretty good too. I like the atmosphere and the restaurant opens til late. Food was excellent. Service was pretty efficient. The waitress had a good memory when taking orders. I don't mind coming back.

There were a lot of other items on the menu that sounded fantastic. The food quality was great and the staff was kind. Honestly, this feels like a place that will probably make its way into our monthly rotation. My only small critique is that it's a little on the pricey side. Around $21 each for a bowl is a bit high for a casual Saturday lunch for me. (But with that said, still excited to come back!).

Our food came out and we love the sauces in our designated sandwiches. The sesame roll felt unique.

The restaurant and food is a solid four but the staff makes it a five!

Local Foods in the Upper Kirby/River Oaks area has a slightly different vibe than the one in The…read moreHeights because it's located in a shopping strip on a busy street (W Gray) with nice retail shops and restaurants. Parking can be tight depending on the time/day. This location feels like it has more indoor seating and a better patio than The Heights which is more exposed to the outdoor elements off the trails. I couldn't remember if I'd been here before until old photos I posted showed. I'm used to The Heights location which is closer to me. It's been about 5 years when I first moved to the loop that I went here with a friend. I had the OG Brussels sprouts which were my favorite when they still had Benjy's in Rice Village. It was a staple for 25 years. They closed in 2020 to expand Local Foods. Pretty bummed because Benjy's was great and had an amazing pecan-crusted goat cheese appetizer with pita. It had more of a cocktail lounge vibe that my friends and I would frequent back in grad school for HH. They had another location off Washington, but that is also closed and is now Forget Me Not. Anyways, the Brussels sprouts were amazing, and I always loved them. I'm glad that Local Foods occasionally features it as a special. I usually gravitate towards the crunchy chicken sandwich. The pretzel bun is everything, and the filling is loaded. If you have a bit allergy, this is not for you. It has pecans in them. I like the added potato chips, too. This time I tried the tacos de camote which was a sweet potato taco. I couldn't find any photos of it on this Yelp page, but I've had sweet potato tacos before in Scottsdale and was hooked. I didn't expect two large wedges on sweet potato lodged in a taco shell. It was delicious and carmelized. You could hear the crunchy outside texture. Loved that. What I didn't love was the difficulty of eating it. The wedges were huge, and the sweet potato was too hot and steamy. It would've been better had they been diced. The pumpkin seed mixture was good but too spicy with the jalapeños. I like spicy food but didn't expect that. The tacos needed salsa or crema to cut through the heat. I picked off the jalapeños and fork and knifed the sweet potato after a few bites with the taco shell. The taco itself is a blue nixtamilized corn tortilla. It held up the taco filling fairly well considering the huge wedge of sweet potato. It also dripped the oil off the sweet potato. I couldn't taste much of the refried beans. I liked these tacos, but it was a little too spicy and didn't have the acid it needed to make it better. I ate the sweet potatoes and nixed the tortillas. As for the sides, I usually get the kale salad because theirs doesn't taste like dirt. Lol. They add enough lemon, pine nuts, golden raisins and Parmesan cheese to make it taste better. I could eat a bowl of that. It's always served in a tiny container. I also get their homemade potato chips. It's dusted with Old Bay seasoning. It can be oily at times, though. This time, I tried a seasonal side of strawberries that was recommended by the guy at the register. It was delicious. The strawberries were soaked in a slightly sweet simple syrup with chopped basil. They have a variety of lemonades, tea, fountain drinks, cocktails and refrigerated beverages to choose from. Lemonade can be too sweet, so I dilute it with ice and water. I like that it's open with the cups and plastic to-go cups if that's your preference. I've always enjoyed what Local Foods offers and like that they offer vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. Service is friendly, and it's a nice, casual place to dine in or on the patio.

The order comes with three tacos for a very filling meal, and a homemade salsa for an extra tang if you like. We also tried the cucumber gazpacho. Perfectly light and refreshing on a hot Houston summer afternoon. If it's still on the menu, I'd recommend it any time. I also had a blackened chicken salad, which came in a huge portion. The chicken was flavorful without being overly salted, and the salad was as fresh as possible. Bella green exceeded my expectations, as it's hard to find such fresh ingredients and healthy options. I'd love to go back.

The tubs of ice filled with cold drinks all around as you approach the counter was casual and fun. And the staff was welcoming and friendly. The menu had so much variety, without being overwhelming. Anything from a good pazole, to a brisket Rueben, to an American Italian sandwich! I got the báhn mì sandwich, which was bursting with flavor! The pork was seasoned well and had good flavor from the marinade. The cilantro, pickled onions, jalapeno, all were so fresh and vibrant! And I was able to get homemade chips and fresh strawberries as my side - such a refreshing bite the strawberries after a rich, porky, spicy bite from the sandwich. Can't say enough good! Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat!

A big part of the decades long success at Local Foods has been their commitment to consistency…read more Their casual setting with excellent service is one thing, but quality executed food that is simple and seasonal will always go a long way. Before their recent expansions to Austin, it all began here in Rice Village exactly 15 years ago. The vibes are contemporary and casual, with the kind of space that fits for just about any scenario. Whether it's a solo meal, a lunch date, or a group led affair, the experience is almost always an excellent one. Start by ordering at the counter and find a seat where the food will brought directly to the table. So much of their variety caters to all sorts of dietary restrictions from vegan to gluten free to nut free. Their spicy crispy brussels sprouts ($10) are a nice starter, as is the squash "onion" rings ($12). The local power bowl ($16) is a classic and I've always enjoyed the brown rice and quinoa combo. Their chicken "posolé" is solid, and I love the large hominy bits along with the clear but green tint of a broth. The chicken shawarma bowl ($20) is an interesting mix that includes pickled beets and strawberries, along with their market cheddar burger ($17) and fabulous twice cooked fries. The carrot cupcake is strangely addicting, and I think their gluten free brownie is a bit of a sleeper. Some of their items didn't jive with me previously, such as an underwhelming cashew queso ($9), a semi-laughable Vietnamese steak bowl ($22), and their semi-gringo version of a banh mi ($15). It's not that these items are bad per se, but they definitely don't live up to the same standard that I feel their other dishes do best. Where they hit the biggest home run is their customer service. Everyone working behind the counter does their best to deliver and they almost always do by staying on top of refills, cleanups, and customer greets. I've always enjoyed my experiences here and look forward to every visit.

Leaf and Grain in the Bellaire area of Houston offers food that is somewhat tasty, but it falls short of being memorable or exceptional. The menu shows potential, but the dishes lack the bold flavors or freshness that could elevate the dining experience. Unfortunately, the restaurant's atmosphere is further diminished by unmotivated staff who appear indifferent to customer satisfaction. Service is often slow, and the employees' lack of enthusiasm gives off an unwelcoming vibe. Overall, the restaurant could greatly benefit from both a revamp of its menu and a renewed focus on hiring and training staff who are passionate about their work. read more
