    Shrimp Tacos
    Mildred A.

    I stopped by On The Kirb during the mens world cup season. It is definitely a great spot to go watch sports. They have a good happy hour. The tacos were really, really good and feeling. The biggest step back was probably the fact that like parking is really limited and you definitely have to do some street parking. All in all, it was a really good experience. i will definitely go back again.

    Houston Cowboy Burger
    Kaylee W.

    We had a really good experience here! We stopped in after work with a pretty large group, and despite our party size, everything went smoothly. Our server was great, I can't remember his name, but he joked around with us the whole time and made the experience a lot more fun. Good service can really make a meal, and he definitely did. I asked him for his favorite menu item, and he recommended the Houston Cowboy Burger. It had really good flavor, and I enjoyed it overall. It was definitely on the spicy side (which makes sense with the jalapeños), but if you like a little heat, I'd recommend it. It wasn't the best burger I've ever had, but it was solid and I'd order it again. My only real complaint was that it was pretty loud inside. There was a game on, so there was a lot of cheering and noise, which made it feel a little overstimulating. That said, it's more of a sports bar atmosphere, so I don't really fault them for it, we just weren't there to watch the game. Overall, we had a good time, enjoyed the food and service, and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

    Nachos On The Kirb
    Brandi B.

    I was pleasantly surprised to find organic options and the use of tallow, both at the top of my list for eating out. The half order of nachos was truly a delicious comfort food elevated to the next level and the burger with a side of fries had just the flavor I was looking for. This will become a go to when I'm in the area.

    We tried On the Kirb twice and we really enjoyed it! We went for dinner both times and the staff was always friendly and helpful with anything we needed. We really enjoyed the food everything was fresh and tasted great. I definitely would try again, a great spot for healthier but game worth meals!

    Vegan Margherita pizza
    Lou C.

    I came here with a group of friends who love to hit up happy hour and know exactly where to go. There is another On the Kirb not too far from this one on Kirby. 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.

    I had never heard on On the Kirb prior to this visit, but I now understand how they've managed to quickly spread to several other locations around the city! We ordered the Brussels Sprouts, and Cowboy Burger, nachos, and a few cocktails. All were excellent, and the burger was exceptional! One of the best burgers in Houston, for sure! The waiter gave great recommendations regarding the burger and the nachos. Will definitely eat here again!

    House Salad
    Tiffany K.

    I've always drove past this place, and never thought to come here until I had a lunch meeting. Our server was so patient and sweet. She showed us plenty of photos of the food as we are visual people. We ordered the grill board, and there were plenty of meats. All good. I ordered the grilled salmon and asked for medium rare. Unfortunately, it was too dry for my liking. The side house salad was whatever. However, the others ordered the Shrimp Cavatappi Pasta with extra sauce and paprika on the side. It was shockingly delicious, and I would definitely come back for it. Wish I got the pasta instead.

    Wife and I come here when we are in Houston. This place is awesome. The Brussel Sprouts are out of this world delicious. I have them every time I come. We had the 1/2 priced Tuesday Taco special. Wife ordered the fish tacos. Huge chunks of cod. I had shrimp tacos. Flour tortillas are better choice than corn. The shrimp are by far the Best shrimp tacos I have ever eaten. Out of this world and filled with ample huge shrimp. We love On the Kirk! Staff are fantastic, friendly and provide great service. We have met the manage as well and he is fantastic. Great music is always playing to provide a great environment to enjoy great food and drinks!

    In town for medical center appointments. Looked for a local place with good atmosphere and food. The Kirb didn't disappoint. Sat at the bar and Payton gave me great service and a killer Whistlepig Rye Manhattan. Was Monday night and it was $10 build your own pizza night. Nice medium sized 14" pizza with great fresh toppings and tasty crust. Portnoy score of 8.4 Definitely recommend.

    Kirb Cheese Board
    Whitney J.

    Everything was great! I always drive by this place but never get a chance to go in until today! Our server, Nick, was so sweet and friendly. He gave us the best food and drink suggestions. The cheese board was so tasty and my husband enjoyed the kabobs. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Some of the staff appeared to be lighting the outside heaters for the evening as the sun was beginning to set but not one person greeted us. Not one person came to even say "hello, we'll be right with you"... nothing. The staff member that I mentioned earlier setting up heaters; he looked our tables direction (since we took it upon ourselves to sit), and did nothing. Not a menu on the table, not a straw, nothing. I was highly disappointed and won't be returning. It's unfortunate that such a highly respected place doesn't have that same equal service for all customers. We surely took our money elsewhere... where we were at least greeted.

I've been once or twice years ago and recently…read moredecided to give it another try, hoping for a different experience, but unfortunately I still left unimpressed. To start out, the concept feels like a blend of accents from other popular bars in the area - the hammock chairs from Axelrad, the Adirondack chairs from Truck Yard, and the string light back patio from 8th Wonder. This blend makes it hard to give the bar a true identity. While they do have a large selection of beers on tap, their cocktail menu leaves me feeling lost. I appreciate the attempt to create unique flavor combinations but the options are just...confusing. For example, mezcal with citrus and prickly pear, or a highball with black currant, tequila and apricot. I'm holding on for dear life with all of these ingredients! Going along for the adventure, I tried their pickle cocktail that was on the menu and it was honestly, terrible. While they do have a happy hour that goes until 8pm, the service this last visit just wasn't the best. The server who helped me told me it was his second day and was clearly struggling to keep up with the cocktail combinations, referencing his phone many times while preparing the drink. I ended up not liking this drink and brought it back to the bar with just one sip gone and rather than offering to make me another drink, they kept it on my bill. Ok, whatever. That being said, just before this happened, the couple in front of me went to pay for their bill, prepared drinks in hand, at 8:02pm and the bartender refused to honor the happy hour prices, just two minutes past the official end time. With these two instances, it seems like the priority is maximizing every dollar of profit rather than investing in the customer experience. Given the number of other original concepts in the area, I would pass.
