the noise level in this restaurant is unbelievable! there is no way to carry on a conversation during peak hours. it is not worth spending a lunch or dinner asking dinner companions to repeat themselves or having to shout. read more

I've been to different Liberty Kitchen locations and service is good, quality of food and interior cleanliness are consistent. I tried the Lobster Pappardelle and it's was good although a bit pricy. I enjoyed the happy hour cocktails. They make a good dirty martini. Location is very nice and the restaurant has a really nice bar area and the tables are fancy, this is a nice attire or business casual. read more

I came for the happy hour on a Wednesday and loved the options! Our server was pretty good and I loved the decor. It was upscale with fun decor and playful design. East coast oysters: 9/10 absolutely love them! The Prince Edward Island ones always have my heart! A little on the smaller side though Gulf coast oysters: 8/10 I'm usually not a gulf coast oyster person but I enjoy how hearty and fresh these ones were. And I also don't usually love the cocktail sauce but this one was rly good a little savory, spicy, and sweet and a healthy amount of lemon juice of course. Deviled eggs: 10/10 these were nice and creamy and had good crunchy texture with the bacon bits and pickles Steak nigiri: 8/10 I would have scored these lower if it weren't for the steak. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly but it the rice underneath just felt out of place and unnecessary and not too mention too plentiful. I would love a plate of just the steak and the compote or sauce that was on top. I will definitely be coming back and trying more items on the menu! read more

We only sat at the bar and got drinks, but the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. My husband really enjoyed his East Coast Oysters and is looking forward to coming back for more. Great deal. My margarita was very unique with charcoal and black lava salt. Overall, pretty good drink. I forgot to snap a picture. read more

The deviled eggs with a fried oyster on top were really good. Liked fried oyster and friend fish tacos, with corn tortillas, obviously. Went for a quick business lunch and the served had the food check quickly. Nice interior. read more

Went for a Labor Day lunch and I was lucky to have Karen as my server. Simple lunch with a cup of Gumbo and a Caesar salad. The gumbo had nice shrimp and a great due to it and was tasteful without adding tobasco etc. great salad and filled my stomach! By the way the salad had a few deviled eggs as a surprise!! Service was fast and luckily I went early and wasn't crowded. read more

A friend and I decided last minute we wanted oysters so we found Liberty Kitchen and gave it a try. I got a reservation for Friday evening but it probably wasn't required. We were promptly sat, and decided to start off with a glass of Prisoner. It was a good choice especially for the price. We of course got a dozen of mixed east coast oysters and they were pretty good. I then tried the seafood pappardelle and while the seafood was good I feel like the pasta was very underwhelming. At around $40 I'd expect fresh pasta cooked properly. I'd go back for the oysters and I hear their happy hour is pretty good, but otherwise I wouldn't. It seems like a glorified Olive Garden for most things. read more

We are back in Houston to check out the place and found ourselves hungry for seafood and of course, we came back here for great food, atmosphere and meeting friends. Wow, even on a Monday evening, their service is top-notch. I finally ordered their oysters from Prince Edward Island. Our server Danny was great suggesting to try it. Their special of the night (Chilean Sea Bass with white crabmeat on a bed of broccolini and risotto was a meal to remember. This will now be our seafood eatery of choice when we're in Houston. It's so close to the apartment and the food is beyond delicious! read more

Nice comfortable and casual ambiance. Lights are low and no music so good place to conversate. Diner like decor with tiled walls typical of oyster bar. Food was very fresh and great tasting. We enjoyed the calamari appetizer, shrimp risotto and Salmon Salad. Salad was a lil disappointing as very little dressing or flavor to it . Had ingredients such an avocado and onions that were not even listed on the menu. Very little quinoa sprinkles on. Could not taste any dressing. Salmon itself was perfect. Not fishy, very moist and buttery. Service was friendly and accommodating. Prices were higher than average for seafood. read more

The sushi rolls and oysters tasted super fresh. Really loved everything we ordered. Speedy and attentive service as well. Very team-oriented staff where everyone helps everyone. We recommend: -Fresh oysters! We liked the east coast more than gulf coast. -spicy tuna roll (the fried hot pepper on top was amazing) -lobster sushi roll (it is MASSIVE) We were surprisingly full after this and even kept a menu in case we needed more food. Will definitely come back when I have more time to spare during my lunch break! read more

It's a cute place, drinks & food were good. Would I come back here again? Yes, it's a great spot to celebrate birthdays or dinner date. I would say know your wine. They didn't have the wine we wanted so they substituted it with something with a different price than its original price. Maybe it was a miscommunication but we cleared it out and they were gracious about it. read more

This grilled coastal oyster board was the perfect bite of everything for one. I thought the bacon jam grilled oysters were so Texas and so delicious as were the fresh oysters on the half shell I got first. Everything grilled was seasoned to perfection. This chill, coastal/casual vibe is everything tucked right in the heart of "everything". Service, satisfactory. Will be back, fam in tow, for the Royale happy hour and Evening Royale. read more

It's my second time coming to this spot for brunch. They do brunch well and the portion size is just right. It doesn't matter if you have traditional breakfast (eggs, backing, home fries etc) or the honey butter French toast. I need to try the seafood next time I go. The service is consistent and the place has a nice vibe. read more

What went well: sashimi salmon, salad, sushi rolls; main meals; decor, & not super noisy or crowded for a Thursday night. What could be better: our waiter had a speech impediment coupled with a language barrier. I speak Spanish well, but still had a lot of trouble understanding him - not sure of a good solution. He was somehow difficult to get a hold of when needed, yet constantly there to push for another bottle of wine when no one on the table wanted more. Automatic 20% gratuity for tables of five or more is a little much. Two nights later, we hosted six people at another establishment, no automatic gratuity at all read more

The location was a bit hard to find bc it was on the other side of the building. But the decor gave a relaxation elegant sea vibe. The menu was small but the quality of the food was great. I ordered the fish tacos that came with fries. But weee cooked perfectly. The taro chips came with the Brie grilled cheese which was also very well cooked. Bread was crispy on the outside and the cheese was soft on the inside. My fav foods were the taro chips from the grilled cheese plate and the fish tacos were my favorite. Very fresh fish not smelly at all. None of us ordered oyster bc we didn't know where the oysters came from and we assumed it was from the gulf which is still pretty warm at this time. I also tasted the lobster bisque and it was also delicious. You just can't go wrong here. read more

The service here is terrible, and this is the second time I've experienced this at Liberty. The bartender approached me and said "Hi, It's going to take me a while to get to you. I just got here" Then proceeds to wash dishes. Why does my experience have to be impacted because you're not prepared? And you know, that's fine but ask for help maybe? All while she has another bartender with her, a server lounging on the couch and a manager on a laptop next to me. I will never come back here again. read more

Hits and misses, entertaining friends from out of town Hits: The Sea Bass BOOM!!! A huge hit! Love it with the grilled corn!! The Lobster roll was good, could have had more larger lobster chunks. The raw oysters a GREAT hit, very good! And the onion rings are great, not greasy!! Misses: I couldnt finish the gumbo, terrible, super small shrimp and the andouille sausage was small with no taste. PLZ switch to "Cajun" gumbo with a good roux with crab, larger shrimp, oysters. NO OKRA. HUGE disappointment in the Key Lime Pie was not tart at all, barely tastes limey We love LB, and will be back for the SeaBass and oysters! read more

Good service... Gumbo was good especially with the extra rice.. Wasn't crowded at all.. The waiter was super helpful... This was my first time here and is really good and impressive.. The oysters were good and the shrimp entree was big portions and good... This might be my new favorite dinner spot in Houston. Good ambience, playlist and self parking is available along with valet. read more

Bartender Taylor acted as if I were invisible from the moment I sat down while I witnessed her interact with everyone else to either side of me. To add insult to injury- I was being WATCHED by her and the host when I returned from the restroom at the end of my meal as if they ASSumed I would walk my ticket. Unacceptable. Although I received poor service, if you could even call that service, I always had intentions to pay for the food. Will not be returning and will spread the word to friends read more

Always enjoy myself anytime I come here. I love the Royale Hour because I don't eat much and the portions are perfect as well as the prices. Maggie was my bartender today and she was great. I love this location because it has a lot of natural lighting and it just feels comfortable inside on a beautiful day. read more

Great service and tasty food. The lobster roll is top tier and the red fish is always a hit.

Liberty Kitchen is a nice neighborhood spot to grab a bite or drink. They are located in somewhat of a shopping plaza, with plenty free self-parking and valet. I do think the valet is unnecessary but what do I know. Anyways, stopped by on a Monday for HH and they have a pretty impressive drink and food list for HH. Being plant based, I couldn't have anything from the HH menu so I went with the vegan poke bowl and my friend got the mussels and a margarita. My bowl came out within minutes and was delicious. They added mini chunks of apples to it so that was a plus for me. The service was also really good! The bartender was attentive and made sure we had all that we needed. I think the chef actually brought out our food and it's not like we ordered anything special. What stood out to me was the manager (I think that's who she was), was cutting up fruit and my friend asked if we could have some and she obliged with no hesitation. That little gesture meant a lot because she didn't have to. I'll definitely be back! read more

My goodness! It's the chargrilled oysters and seafood gumbo for meeeeeeee. The drinks are good too. The oysters came out perfectly chargrilled and still bubbling with goodness. The ambiance is very alluring and welcoming all at the same time. The customer service was great and our server wasn't too overbearing. Once we finished a meal, it seems a person came out of nowhere to get our empty plate. The quality of the food was as great as the service. Because of pricing, it's not a place I'd go every day but it's worth a good visit every other month for sure. read more

I was visiting and was craving seafood since we have been eating so much red meat on our trip. Everything we ordered was refreshing and delicious. Oddly enough our favorite was the side, lobster Mac n cheese. The lobster was super good same as the ahi. The service was good and our server was helpful at recommending us his favorite meals. We expected it to be busy by the time we got there but there was plenty to seat us during lunch time :) read more

The atmosphere was laid back Service was great However for the prices of the food, the food could have been a lot better. Just very basic. Breakfast board: Croissants where good and flaky Bacon was slightly crispy but cold Sausage was good but cold. I don't think it disclosed what type of sausage it is. 7/10 Frittata is very underwhelming. Lacks flavor and was very flat, no fluff to it at all. 2/10 3 stars because the service was good and nothing else. read more

I've been to Liberty Kitchen & Oysters twice now, and unfortunately, both visits were underwhelming. This last experience confirmed I won't be returning. Meant to have dinner there but quickly decided it would be best to go somewhere else for our entrees. My friend's cooked oysters came out quickly, but my raw oysters took much longer. When they finally arrived, they were full of small and large shell fragments I had to pick out with almost every bite. I mentioned it to our waiter, who said he'd "let the kitchen know," but that was the end of it. No apology from a manager, no offer to make it right, and to top it off, our wine pours were noticeably smaller than the table next to us, which felt inconsistent and unprofessional. For a restaurant that positions itself as elevated dining, the service and attention to detail just aren't there. There are plenty of other spots in Houston serving great oysters with better hospitality. I'd recommend going elsewhere. read more

While staying in Houston we wanted to try as many restaurants as possible. This place e had good reviews so off we went. It's located in a small strip mall so parking is limited, but luckily they have valet. Upon entering I loved the decor. It gives this old town feel with a modern twist. I loved the green bar stools and the bar itself was super cool. The place is somewhat shabby sheik. The hostess was welcoming and we were seated immediately. It wasn't that crowded for a Saturday night but we were there around 630. We made reservations just in case as the reviews say it can get busy on the weekends. We were seated at a both which was spacious. The waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and gave us some great selections. There was so much to choose from it was hard to decide. We ordered and the food came out quickly. We started with appetizers and it was delicious. They give you so much food that we had to take half of it home. Our waiter gave us a show for one of our dishes right at the table so that was a cool feature. We had a really nice dining experience and we will definitely be back when in Houston. read more

Attended Business luncheon for our team and the seafood was amazing. This was my first time coming here. I love seafood and the quality and freshness was top tier. Service was great and knowledgeable wait staff who assisted to offer meal selection. Everyone's meal arrived together on time. We had the specials that day so not sure if I can recall the exact names of each dish but I attached pics if you want to try and show the server. I really appreciated the attention of the food presentation and details of each dish with fresh edible flowers. I will definitely be back to try more items with my family & friends. This seafood restaurant location is a 10. read more

What a great place! The interior is much better looking than what it looks like being located in a strip mall. The service and food were great. We came here 2 nights in a row since we stayed at hotel right next to it. The first night we had Jamie and second time it was David. They were both wonderful. The coastal board is a great dish to get to share! I ended up getting it as my meal and I was so stuffed. They have a great selection of drinks and wine. I love the decor and seating. We sat in a booth both times and I love it because it gives you a little privacy. The key lime pie was delicious and I highly recommend saving room for some dessert. I can't wait to come here again next time we are in Houston. read more

The presentation of the food was mind blowing! It really bumped up our experience in Houston. When we first saw the food, we were like "oh my gosh this looks so good and then we tried it and it surpassed our expectations! There was a great variety of food from lobster to burgers! The service was amazing! We sat outside and every time we walked in many people asked if we needed anything! The decor is really nice. Outside patio has covered canopy that still allows small beams of sunlight. There is a plant wall. The inside is large but still feels cozy. read more

Ambiance is fine dining but not the stiff, pretentious kind. Service was on point from hostess to server to chef who visited our table. We had a group of 8, and were charged the automatic gratuity of 20# but it was certainly earned. Server Christian was wonderful, gave us the long list of specials and when the kitchen left my gravy out and our friend's potatoes, he brought them to us right away. I ordered the brunch chicken fried steak and two eggs. Everything was delicious!! read more

Our quick weekend getaway to Houston came to an end - with our final meal/brunch at Liberty Kitchen and Oysterette on 1/14/24. I gave them a call because I was running about 15 or so minutes behind on my reservation. They were more than happy/willing to note that and hold our table for us. **free valet in the front of the restaurant** We were promptly seated in a booth with water glasses filled shortly thereafter. Our server was attentive and shared all of their specials, including off menu items. He also recommended the espresso martini, which was amazing! My husband got the whiskey flight and enjoyed each glass. My eldest wanted to try the morning farm board and I wanted the grilled oyster board. The morning farm board was cute. It came with (2) croissants, (3) deviled eggs, (3) sausage Patties, and (4) strips of mapley bacon. The girls really enjoyed this board, especially the croissants. They came with (3) spreads, a strawberry jam, butter and a bacon jam. They didn't care for the bacon jam but gravitated towards the strawberry. Husband and I shared the grilled oyster board. It comes with (2) grilled scallops over mashed potatoes, (2) bacon jam oysters, (2) grilled Parmesan oysters, and 1/2lb mussels. Those mashed potatoes were unanticipated but were probably my most favorite thing on the board. They were so creamy and tasted so good! The grilled Parmesan oysters were my second favorite. The mussels were large and fresh, in a tomato-based broth with chorizo and tomatoes. It was a good flavor, but the chunks of chorizo were big - had to break em up. Perfect broth for dipping those garlic bread points in. Our least favorite was the bacon jam oysters. Sweet and oysters are not a good combo. I would rather have (4) Parmesan oysters instead. My husband ordered the (off the menu) lobster fettuccine. For those with a tomato allergy or aversion, this is chock full of tomatoes. Good for me, bad for husband who has the allergy. Nonetheless, I gladly roll his tomatoes and added them to my risotto. It tasted good but could benefit from some more sauce - especially if you have leftovers. My eldest ordered the chicken fried rib-eye and 2 eggs sunny side up. One of the eggs were slightly over and not runny. The ribeye was okay but definitely needed that cream gravy. The grits were yum! My youngest ordered the grilled bacon & cheese, with her bacon on the side. Nothing special but I really appreciate that they were willing to put the bacon on the side for her. I ordered the (off the menu) grilled shrimp and scallops with mushroom risotto. The sauce really pulls it together. The risotto was not as creamy as I'm used to, but was still good. I'm glad I took my husband's tomatoes because it made the dish prettier and added additional "pop" to the flavor profile. Ps the bathrooms are very clean and spacious! read more

We were there for Easter Sunday Lunch, and overall the food was good. We were seated on time for our reservation, and we were greeted promptly at our table. You pretty well have to valet park here...it has a small parking lot in the front, but other businesses post "No restaurant Parking" signs. It was packed on that special day, so the noise level was high, and the kitchen was slow, which I imagine was due to the large crowd. read more

I was so excited about this restaurant since so many seafood restaurants in Houston have a creole theme! I sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing giving me great recommendations of options. I really wanted scallops so went with the platter so I could get a taste of a couple of items. Everything was amazing, but the scallops which were way too chewy. I ate one and took the other two back to the hotel. I will return since there are so many other amazing items on the menu I want to try! It was a 3.75 for me for sure! read more

We had a reservation for brunch on Saturday, May 30. Upon arrival, the hostess was chatting on the phone and the waiter standing next to her could not be bothered by us standing there until the manager walked over and directed him to seat us. At the table, the waiter could not be bothered with our presence. We finally ordered dinner rolls, only to find what looked like a pubic hair on the plate. We also tried to order a seafood tower only to find out there was an upcharge for mixed oysters, even though the menu does not list that. Bad experience overall, no wonder this place only gets a 3 star rating... read more

Had a great time here on Friday night! The food and service were amazing! I had the lobster special - a creamy lobster pasta with lobster tail and a pretzel roll. The pasta was amazing! Finished the leftovers today (Sunday) and it was just as amazing. We also had the lavender infused crème brûlée. This was a first for me so I had to try it. The server put the flame to the crème brûlée and we watched it caramelize. That was a fun experience and you could really taste the lavender. Delicious! I would highly recommend trying this place if you love seafood and great service! read more

This has become a go-to place for brunch among my friends. It has an upscale feel but the prices are quite reasonable. Parking in the plaza is pretty limited. You have the option to valet but self parking is available as long as you don't park in a reserved space. As the name suggests, they serve oysters, both raw and fried. Oysters are incorporated in many of the dishes, some in which you would not expect but they totally work. The servers here are great and very attentive. They pass by our table every so often refilling our waters and changing out our utensils. We had the deviled eggs as an appetizer. They're not just regular deviled eggs, though. They're topped with fried oysters and bacon jam. The yolk was also super creamy. I ordered the omelette as my entree. I would have never thought to put fried oysters in an omelette but it surprisingly works. Don't skip out on the cheesy grits for your side! Everything was absolutely delicious and the overall experience was worthy of five stars. read more

Ordered the pasta because I saw someone on Instagram order it, I think my friend ordered the basic breakfast. She said it was fine... Back to my pasta... the shrimp were cooked to perfection which I feel like is kind of a hit or miss sometimes with restaurants. However, they managed to hit it on the dot, I think there was crab meat and tomatoes as well? (Not sure but I'll upload the pictures) Didn't need any salt and it was light. The only con is that you have to pay to park. But since that area is so tight, it makes sense. read more
