    Very nice food hall in downtown Houston. I parked in the Lyric garage and just so happens it leads directly into the market. The market has a huge bar with happy hour specials which is a plus. They had trivia games going on. It is very clean. They have about 5-6 restaurants to choose from. You can tell it used to be more but they shut down. That's the only feedback is to have a few more food options.

    Came here not knowing this was a food hall. Was pleasantly surprised by the various restaurants available. My children opted for sushi and they absolutely loved what they order. Shrimp tempura roll, seaweed salad and spicy garlic edamame. We got our sushi from Dorado. We parked off the street; however, I did see a sign for a garage. Restrooms were clean, tables were clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

    Lyric Market is a nice food hall in the Theater District and is a great option for dinner before a show. It's also a couple of blocks from Post HTX so it can be easy to overlook, but don't sleep on this place. I really like Lyric Market because it's never crazy in there. They have a steady amount of customers, but I've never had to wait in line to order at any of the food stalls or the bar. They currently have 10 vendors. I've eaten at Samurai Noodle and Mexology which I really enjoyed! The quesabirria tacos were phenomenal! You can order food at your table with a QR code, online for pick up on the website, or directly at the counter. The Lyric bar serves amazing drinks and the menu is consistently updated. On my last visit, I had a cocktail called the Cucumber Serenade and it was excellent! There's plenty of seating and they have an outdoor patio near one of the entrances. There's also a terrace, though I've never sat up there. I really appreciate that they have self serve water stations throughout the food hall. Additionally, the staff does a great job of busing tables when patrons are done eating. It gives a bit more of an elevated feel. They host weekly events like Trivia Tuesdays and live music on Thursdays. They also rent out space for private events. Parking is street or garage. If you park in the garage, you can get the first two hours free with parking validation if you make a purchase. The garage is used for event parking too so prices can vary depending on the night. I've seen event parking range from $12-$25. There is certainly not a shortage of food halls downtown. Lyric Market may not have as many food stalls as Post, but they have amazing drinks, a decent variety of vendors, and a super chill vibe.

    The ambiance of this place was so cute and festival. I went to the first location (Louisiana themed) and had some oxtail yakamein! The flavor was extraordinary! I took one bite and couldn't stop. It was cooked to order so hot and fresh. The meat was tender, bones big. The decor gave me mardi gras vibes so I immediately looked forward to February! Lol

    Beautiful display

    Had a fantastic time at the Lyric market for my uncle and aunts 70th birthday celebration we had an amazing time and just seeing all the love on a Sunday warms my heart and soul. They had 3 cousins cuisine to serve appetizers and we purchased our own entrees.

    Oxtail soup
    Jaire Q.

    We made a trip to lyric market to try the oxtail ramen/soup from 1929poboykitchen. The actual market is really cool with good options. They have sitting outdoor as well as in the building. We sat inside and ordered our soup. The wait was very short to order, but it took more than 20 mins to get our food. The soup was good but spicy, although I had asked ans was told it was mild. I thought the ambience and decor were nice and although my soup was very spicy and the wait for long, I would recommend it. More when it's nice weather! There was plenty of street parking, not sure of they have their own lot.

    Another very cool food hall in downtown Houston! Interesting choices here. I went with a fabulous hot dog and a side of fried pickles that were too salty for my taste. I was craving French fries and ordered a basket, but they weren't crispy, and I left most of it behind. My Old Fashioned was excellent. Location is perfect for the theater district, and the vibe is casual with a touch of business, even on a Friday night. Service was spotty - great at the bar, and lukewarm elsewhere. Still, I'll be back.

    Seafood YakkaMein

    I love the idea of Food Markets. I love how this Downtown Gem is open on the weekends. It's cozy and will be the best go to spot for residents and visitors of the Theatre District. I tried the 1929 establishment. I can't imagine paying $30 for YakkaMein anywhere else let alone the work week. I was pleasantly surprised to find Fried Avacado slices in my Oyster Po'boy. Water and cups are provided to you.

    Refried beans + spicy salsa w/cojita cheese

    Lyric Market is a nice food hall centrally located in Downtown Houston. It was my first time visiting. On a Saturday afternoon it was not very busy, and the ambiance was a bit dull. I imagine it gets really packed at certain times. They have a variety of dining options. They provide complimentary 2-hour parking available with a Lyric Market purchase. Great perk. Check them out. I'd visit again. ~This review is for La Cocina by Mexican Mom.~ MEXICAN MOM!!!! Do yall remember the community event in North Houston at Mexican Mom? Well, ten days ago they opened right here in Lyric Market. Stopped by to check out the market and ran right into Mexican Mama herself! We introduced ourselves and mentioned the community event and she came from around the counter to greet us with big hugs!! She also gave us some sweet treats. Mexican Mama is genuine, caring, and so kind. She values her customers and the community that she serves. First, we ordered two empanadas - chicken and cheese & creamy poblano. Tore 'em up! Went back and ordered two more creamy poblano empanadas...clearly, these are my favorite! While eating, she brought over sides of refried beans + spicy avocado sauce w/cojita cheese. A pleasant and delicious surprise! She offered us delicious drinks as well. 10/10 experience and I plan on returning as often as I can! Great customer service! See you soon, Mexican Mama!

    My friends and I went during the Christmas pop up. We went on a Friday night and surprisingly, it was not crowded at all. We loved the cute decorations and went specifically to try the Christmas themed drinks. We had a great time and everyone enjoyed their drink. I ordered the Santa's hat.

    It really is just a burger. Nothing special.
    DeWayne R.

    It seriously is "Just F'n Burgers,", which would be cool if they under-sold themselves and then wowed you with an amazing burger, but noooooo...they have to underwhelm you, too. The lady who took my order was very nice and helpful, she even came out to the sitting area to ask me if I wanted it for here or to go. She even told me that she would smash it so that it's well-done. Turns out I had to eat around the center, because it was pinkish. But that's only half the story. The burger had no redeeming quality. I remember burgers from my elementary school cafeteria having better taste AND they were cooked all the way through. It was the least expensive option in Lyruc Market, but you get what you pat for!

    We were in town for a last minute weekend getaway from Austin. We came to lyric because we wanted to try a few different places and this looked like a good option that enabled us to do just that! We enjoyed delicious (and spirit forward) cocktails from the Rhapsody Bar and food from a few different vendors. Everything was delicious and the service was phenomenal.

    Super cool food court hardly visible from outside. They have Mexology, sea food, green straw, kati roll wala etc among others. The place is maintained spotless to the extent that while I was tryin to take pics I kept my purse on a table and had to keep moving it from one table to another as the lady was targeting exactly my table to clean, she probably thought I was going to sit there... The lighting, seating, cleanliness and options explored I settled for Indian as I was craving for rice having just returned from India. Service was fast and the staff very friendly. Located in the heart of downtown, right next to the Worthom theater, am sure this place is swarming with blazers and tie clad professionals during the weekdays. Even today- a Sunday- there was a pretty decent crowd especially at a particular bar, which, I am yet to try. There is a board outside which states that parking is free if you purchase at the Market, but am not sure if that is the same rule applies to the food court. Can't wait for another great show at the Worthom performance theater to have a valid excuse to visit this place again. :)

We visited around 5:00 PM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately for a party of two without a reservation. The restaurant is huge, and despite being very busy, the service was efficient. We were seated in one of the back dining rooms and greeted with complimentary chips and salsa, both of which were delicious. The atmosphere was fantastic--packed with World Cup fans, with what felt like everyone wearing a soccer jersey. As fellow futebol fans, we loved the energy. Being from California, we're fortunate to have access to some excellent Mexican food, so we were a little hesitant about trying Tex-Mex. I ordered the chicken fajitas with flour tortillas and a passion fruit margarita. The chicken had a smoky flavor and a sauce that gave the dish a distinctly Texas-style twist. The flour tortillas were outstanding, and the refried beans and rice were just as enjoyable. The passion fruit margarita was also a standout and something I'd definitely order again. Overall, this was a great dining experience and a place I'd recommend for the atmosphere alone. The restaurant appears well-equipped to accommodate large groups, making it a great option for gatherings. Next time, I'd love to return with a bigger group and take advantage of one of their margarita pitchers!

Fajitas 3/5- I really wanted to love these. They look great and the cook was perfection but the flavor was super plain. I felt the need to add salt.... My partner agreed too. Not good. I won't be back but I appreciate it for what it is!

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

On the other side was a large group facing us engaged in very loud ongoing conversation. The result was an atmosphere that made it difficult to enjoy the meal. Service was also inconsistent.
