    Leeland Benedict and The Jamburger
    Ceason B.

    If you like eggs Benedict even a little...GET THE LEELAND BENEDICT!!! Best eggs Benedict I've ever had, and I've had a lot. My husband got the jam burger and said it was amazing as well.

    Leeland House is a swanky brunch spot frequented by many by the looks of it. Featuring a small but straightforward menu, an outdoor area with a big screen, and good bites. We got in despite there being a wait by using the back outside area. This does seem like a very busy place so plan around potentially waiting. They have customer parking out back but if you can't find a spot there then you'll have to settle for street parking or the pricier lots across the street. Ordering is quick and the service was good, bringing our dog a water bowl and refilling water very quickly. We ordered their fried French toast, plain cheeseburger, and Cobb salad. The food came out at a decent time despite the server saying they were backed up and it was pretty good. The Cobb salad was refreshing and savory, the fried French toast very sweet with a nice crunch, and the cheeseburger was good but came with spicy house sauce when we specifically asked for no sauce. The fries with the burger are also very peppery but the flavor and texture are good. When we went to close out we were all very happy with our meals. One thing to pay attention to was when we were tipping they only had 3,5, and 7% as options unless you custom tipped which was strange. We're unsure if they auto charge gratuity or not so check your bill, don't seem like they did though. Honestly, Leeland House is pretty good as a casual, fun brunch spot that feels very communal and alive. It was a lot of fun and we think you'll feel the same way when stopping by.

    I came to Leeland House with a party of 8 to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was a little hesitant after reading some earlier reviews, but to my surprise the experience was great. The food came out in a timely manner, and our waitress Brianna was prompt, attentive, and made solid recommendations. Service stayed consistent even with our larger group, which I really appreciated. I did have a small issue with being charged for grilled chicken on my salad since it already came with it. The team handled it the right way and made it right by offering me a shot that I selected, which was about a 2.5x price difference. That kind of customer service goes a long way. Overall, good food, good service, and a well-handled issue. I will definitely be back.

    This rating is particularly for the food, not meeting expectations. Reece was amazing as a server and took very good care of our table of 8. The vibe was really great as always, which is why we came. For the food, timing was decent from ordering to the table, but my order was for the Bananas Foster Dream Pancakes. What attracted me to this dish was from their actual Instagram page. The image and description definitely made me want to order but I was disappointed because I thought I was getting these delicious caramelized banana pancakes. The issue is I received regular pancakes with syrup barely drizzled and regular pancakes. Just look at what I received vs what I ordered red from their page.

    Leeland House used to be one of my favorite brunch spots in EaDo with chill vibes, solid food, good service, and drinks that didn't feel like an afterthought. Sadly, those days are gone. What was once a hidden gem has completely lost its charm. The service was painfully slow and indifferent, the food was mid at best, and they've added an automatic 20% gratuity for the privilege of being ignored. It feels like they're trying to keep up with every other "Instagram brunch" spot in Houston... they're just missing the fake grass wall and neon sign. Really disappointing to see a once-great spot slide into substandard mediocrity.

    Sweet Potato Hash

    My cousin and I visited this spot after hearing about their "elevated breakfast," but while the food looked good, the overall experience didn't quite live up to that label. When we arrived, the hostess let us know it was open seating--so we grabbed a spot on their spacious patio, which was lovely. There's also a small indoor area if you prefer to dine inside. However, the setup was more casual than expected: after claiming a table, you place your order at the bar, and the food is brought out to you. That's totally fine for a relaxed café, but it didn't match the "elevated" experience we had in mind. That said, the bartender was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We ordered the Sweet Potato Hash, Leeland Benedict, a Honey Lavender Latte, and a 'Stachio Matcha Latte. My cousin enjoyed her latte and Benedict--especially the bacon it came with. My dish, on the other hand, fell a bit short. The avocado mash didn't taste fresh or homemade, and I would've much preferred fresh sliced avocado. The sweet potatoes were inconsistent--some were delicious, others undercooked. The lavender latte was very light and didn't leave much of an impression. Also worth noting: parking is street-only, so it's a good idea to arrive early to give yourself time to find a spot. Overall, it's a cute place with friendly service and a relaxed vibe, but the food and setup felt more casual than elevated. Nice if you're already in the area, but not a must-visit.

    Honey Chicken Biscuit

    This is my second time here for a group brunch situation. I believe it is Black owned so it's a popular destination. The first time I didn't have the food but it was a nice atmosphere. This time there was 20ish of us so I know that can be chaotic. They seemed to have a system down where they came to take our order instead of the usual order at the counter and got our names for the orders so it could be separate checks. Ir was still a mess with wrong orders, misplaced orders and long wait times even for tea. I ordered the sticky chicken biscuit and it left much to be desired. They put honey in too of the outside of the biscuit making it near impossible to actually pick up and enjoy as a sandwich. I was really looking forward to the pimento cheese in the sandwich but there was only a drop so I asked for more. The chicken itself wasn't flavorful to me and the potatoes were the best part of the dish. We were outside and it was 50° and due to the permanent canopy there was no sunshine. We had to request multiple times to get heaters which still didn't help much. Long story short they tried to accommodate us with the service but it was still lacking, food was unremarkable and outdoor seating was inadequately heated. I'd be willing to give them another try with a smaller party but I didn't see or hear anyone raving about their food. Parking is limited behind and in front of there is paid street parking and a few adjacent streets with free parking. The lock in the first bathroom doesn't work and seems like something easy enough to fix but hasn't been.

    Honey Lavender coffee and matcha

    I've passed by the place a few times and wanted to give it a try. The food is pretty decent but it is WAY too overpriced. We paid $56 for 2 drinks and 2 lunch items. The brisket hash and the honey chicken brisket was decent. The iced coffees & matcha had more ice than liquid but they did have other milk options which was nice. But my biggest gripe is, every order has gratuity added in which is outrageous. You pick your own table, scan a QR Code, walk inside to the bar, stand in a line, order your food and all they do is bring it out to you. You can't even ask for more honey, to go cup or even more napkins. Why charge gratuity if you Arn't even going to serve us? Does the gratuity go to the bartenders standing back behind the bar or the cooks? This is also not posted anywhere visible where you order, the bartender told us this after we ordered and charged our card. THEN they ask for a tip on top of the gratuity. If we knew this beforehand we would not have came because why am I paying a gratuity if we have to do all of the work for you.

    Came to Leeland today after run club! Always pleasant and quick service! I had the cheesy classic today and it was a pretty plain burger I would've wanted a little more but overall still good. The ambiance is very causal and laid back, great spot to chill and hang out with friends

    This was my first time trying this restaurant for brunch. I heard of this place via TikTok. There are only a handful of parking spaces in front of the restaurant. So we resorted to parking on the street. We parked behind the bbq restaurant across the street and there is free parking on Sundays. Inside seating in both buildings is small. All tables inside/out are first come first serve. All tables have a number and QR code menu. Have someone stay at the table so you don't lose it. You have to stand in line to place your order. They have two separate ordering lines, one inside and one outside. We decided to sit outside. They had two large screens of tvs playing sports. One was closed captioned. They also had a DJ outside and he was playing great music, mostly R&B. When placing your order, you have to give your table number. There is an 18% gratuity charge automatically added to your bill. If you order a mimosa or alcohol drink they give it to you upon ordering. Specialty coffees are delivered to the table and so is the food. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our food to come. I had the honey chicken biscuit, my friend had the sweet potato hash, and the biscuit basket. The honey chicken biscuit was good. The chicken was flavorful and the biscuit was soft and buttery. The dish was served with diced potatoes. The potatoes were okay. I wish I substituted the side. My friend enjoyed her dish/biscuits. We ordered a pineapple craft mimosa. I didn't taste the pineapple, but it was decent. My friend said, "they put a splash of the pineapple and majority of the drink was champagne." I'd be open to trying other flavors of the drink. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and food here. I will definitely return to this restaurant soon and recommend to others.

    While I did enjoy my food and the vibe of Leeland house, I have no choice, but to feel like I went on a bad day. It took 40 minutes to get sat even with the reservation, and and the restaurant seemed severely understaffed. While there were lots of available tables, our righteous struggled, making regular rounds to visit us. In addition, the restaurant was out of burgers, and biscuits, which really put a damper on our larger group who was seeking both breakfast and lunch options. This is such a cool place, with great drinks and an amazing vibe, I am hoping that my next experience will be better.

    What a fun spot!! If you're looking for quick seating, great coffee, and a solid food this is your brunch spot! The host sat us right away and you have the option to be served or self serve at the bar. There was no pressure either way. They are also pet friendly! The wait for food took a minute however they were slammed. I also thought $12 was a bit much for two pancakes but still delicious!

    Crispy Chicken & Biscuit
    Jamaal W.

    I really enjoyed my brunch experience at Leeland House. I visited for the first time after Sunday service looking for a chill brunch vibe that didn't have all the extra activity that comes with other Houston restaurants. The Honey Butter Chicken biscuit was AMAZING!! The chicken was nicely fried on a homemade biscuit. I appreciated the fact that I could add bacon and they had a good mixed berry jam to balance out the savory with sweet. Of course I did the mimosa carafe and the choice of fruit juices (Mango) instead of only plain OJ was a bonus. What I ended up appreciating the most was the service model. All orders - food and drinks, are placed and paid for at the bar upon ordering and you're given a number to take to your table. There are multiple bartenders so you don't have to worry about a long wait or having to go look for your server which was refreshing. Only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because of the limited indoor seating and lack of free parking which is expected for this part of town. There are fans on the porch and in the patio area so it's not unbearable during the meal. Overall 9/10!

Mark ordered the fried cheese sticks, they were one of the items that I found worthwhile to return for. I opted for the Waffle feast. It included a waffle, that I added pecans on top to, two strips of bacon, eggs your way and hash browns. To say that I needed to add salt and pepper to the eggs and hash browns because they tasted bland and flavorless was unfortunate. It also was served at room temperature, because it was made from scratch, would think it be warmer to hot. The waffle was savory and had good mix and topped with the pecans made it even better. If you're on this side of town and want a change up from the "other breakfast diners" DOT would be where I stop. Fast, friendly service. Depending the food you get, it gets the job done for some sustenance to hold you over when you're not sure when your next meal is because you'll be in Galveston for 7 hours riding a float in the Mardi Gras parade.

I wanted to start with one biscuit, but the biscuits come in pairs. The waitress said I could order just one anyway, but the order ended up being two. I meant to save the second one for breakfast, but that was not to be. It did not survive long enough to make it out the door. My actual meal was a bacon swiss and mushroom burger, which was excellent. Between the biscuits and the burger, I am forced to acknowledge that it was entirely too much food. Sadly, that did not prevent me from eating all of it anyway. Delicious! The restaurant, which is a diner with very basic decor, is on an approach road to IAH, and is open 24/7. When I arrived in the evening, the place was empty. By the time I left, there were a whole bunch of customers. I noticed in other reviews that people were saying they did not receive checks for their meal and felt they were over-charged at the register. I did not receive a check either, but the amount I was charged at the register seemed accurate -- and I was paying attention because I had read the other reviews first.

I wasn't there to judge that competition and have had better, but sincerely appreciated the moistness of the bread pudding. While the majority of diners were older and a more mature crowd, there's a lot to be said for value, and we thought the menu price was better than reasonable and I think a lot of people will discover this as a value destination, something we all appreciate.
