    I went here on Valentine's Day to get a juice before starting my busy day . I had Green juice I forgot the name . It was tasty. Also tired one of the bowls and this was were I wasn't as pleased. It was ok the meat was a little too chewy rubbery for steak and the beans were runny. Overall a cute establishment and great customer service . I will go back to try something else .

    Chop Shop was so amazing! They were such a treat for our FIRST Robotics Team (9450 Velocity Raptors) and ensured that our students, coaches and mentors were fueled up and ready to compete - even during a crazy thunderstorm! The food was delicious and plentiful, and it is so wonderful that they are so supportive of the local community, students, and STEM! Their diligence with ensuring all dietary accommodations were met, and that there were no allergens in such a large order was truly commendable. Thank you so much Chop Shop!

    Acai bowl
    Vicky L.

    This location is quite consistent whenever I order here in regards to both food and drink. The parking is shared amongst a handful of other establishments but still easy to find. With carry out only spots, it makes it easier for those who want to do a quick grab and go too. The staff are typically on it once you enter and orders are prepared fresh right away. I've been several times to dine in and to-go. They offer protein bowls that are mainly rice or veggie centric topped with your choice of protein, salad bowls with the same idea, acai bowls, fruit or veggie based juices and shakes, sandwiches, and some more. The protein bowls can be hit or miss at times depending on what toppings you choose and how well the kitchen cooks it. I usually like my protein bowls with added egg and extra sauce for additional flavor, but that makes the bowl more expensive than it already is. Filling and satisfying though! The salad bowls are very similar as the base is the only thing that changes for me, so nothing out of the ordinary. It is fresh greens but not the type of fresh you expect from a salad only place. Their acai bowls though, are definitely my number one item I get here. The base is so smooth and not icy/chunky compared to other places. It is also loaded with plenty of fruit and the bowl is filled up well. The smoothies and shakes are also decent with portion size and taste. Having said I've done both dine in and takeout many times at this Original ChopShop location, I find their protein bowls to be good even after reheating them as needed. I recommend their shrimp/steak for protein as well as their Thai coconut and green curry sauces (though not authentic Thai). The flavors mingle well and are more healthful than the typical rice bowls found anywhere else. Just feel good food! Also...they do serve breakfast items too.

    Was craving a sandwich got the Morrocan Turkey. Staff were polite and helpful. Sat outside because the weather was nice. Will be back!

    Grilled Steak
    Natasha L.

    Definitely a healthy place to grab food with a lot of options. A lot of options. I didn't have much interaction with the staff. The place was clean with ample seating. After much consideration I had their grilled steak sandwich. The sandwich had a lot of flavor but the bread was extremely dry. If I am in the area, and need a healthy eating option, I'd probably stop by.

    Slim Squeeze
    Courtney E.

    This was a delivery order. I ordered the Slim Squeeze drink and the Nanner Crunch chia pudding bowl. The Slim Squeeze had a lot of listed ingredients, but I could only taste strawberry. It wasn't spectacular and it was basically just strawberry juice for $8.99. The Nanner Crunch was very good. The texture was great and it was filling. I would order again with a little more chocolate if possible. In all, this order wasn't worth the $18+ (not including fees or tip) I paid for it. I should've left the fruit juice off the order, but I was curious about its taste.

    Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
    Adriana F.

    The perfect lunch spot for a quick and nutritious meal! I enjoyed the Teriyaki Chicken bowl with roasted veggies. The service was great as well. I would love to come back on a cooler day to sit on the patio.

    Teriyaki Chicken Bowl & The Brekkie with tofu
    Devangi D.

    Service and ambiance were great. However, the bowls were dry and lacked flavor, it needed more condiment. Had to ask for Tabasco/sriracha and extra teriyaki sauce. Overall, meh

    The Club - Plain, just meat and cheese, add ham!
    Leah W.

    This is my first time eating here and I'm pleased to say that their online photos looked exactly like what I received! I ordered the club with just turkey, bacon, ham and provolone. Everything tasted fresh and neatly prepared. Overall a good sandwich. I ordered through the app and the food was prepared quickly! Give them a try for healthier options!

    Chop-Chicken & Hot Honey Chicken bowl.
    Lynda H.

    Drove by and decided to try this place out. I had the Hot Honey Chicken bowl and it was absolutely delicious. The pita chips with hummus was delicious extra thin and crispy. Atmosphere was cute, trendy and clean. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

    Moroccan Turkey Wrap
    Ashley G.

    Good Food, pretty busy during lunch but there wasn't to long a wait. Second time ordering the wrap and so far it's my favorite!

    Coconut Chia Pudding + The Club Sandwich (Both To-Go)
    Joanna Q.

    UberEats Review - I ordered from here twice in the past year before I moved away from Houston. The first time, I got the Acai bowl + The Club sandwich. The sandwich was delicious and fresh, but the acai bowl base was bland. The fruits were still fresh though, so overall not bad. The second time, I ordered the Coconut Chia Pudding, which was not very good at all. There was barely any flavor to the pudding and the large amount of granola did not help. I ordered The Club sandwich again this time and it was great like before. This place seems to be a hit or miss when it comes to their fruit-related foods. I wouldn't return again due to the lackluster experience and the fact that I can find a great sandwich at many other places.

First, we got there pretty early for our reservation. We sat almost immediately upon check in. Our waiter was in training but did a really good job. Ordered a whiskey sour. Was seated at the bar so I got to watch it be made. The bartender- man that guy never stopped. He was organized and just did his thing. So many pretty drinks were made while I was there watching. The pink one, whatever it was, was really pretty! On to the food. We got two apps, two meals, and two desserts. Husband ordered the Brussels, Steak Frites, and the Devil's Affogato. I got the Bacon covered Dates, the Pizza, and the Sticky Toffee Cake. The Brussels were good - husband liked them more than me. They were good. Had cashews in them. Little spicy. The bacon covered dates. Think this was my favorite bite. Sweet, salty, creamy. Came we three & I had two. The pizza was sweet and salty as well. The crust was so good and fresh. The arugula set it off so well. Def a buy again! The Steak Frites was so good. The chimichurri sauce was perfect. Just the right mount of citrus. Steak was tender and the fries seasoned well. The desserts - don't skip them! The Devils Affogato we had the first time we ate at Sixty Vines. Had to have it again. If you like coffee, chocolate and vanilla ice cream just get it. Restaurant vibe is relaxed and clean. There were several large parties and what looked like a lot of date night guests. Just try it. No regrets!!

    I might have just found one of my new favorite restaurants in Houston. What a great experience!…read more Recently, a good friend dined here and immediately called me to tell me how great it was. She then text our friends group and said we all had to come together and we did just that. She made reservations in advance as this place is popular thanks to recent Michelin Bib Gourmand awards as well as many other accolades. Walk ins are welcome as well. Our reservation was later in the evening so after a night of bar hopping, we ride shared in which I think is one of the best options as parking is limited here or you have to find street parking in the neighborhood. This place is literally a house turned into a restaurant. Inside is just multiple rooms with a couple of tables. It makes for a unique, intimate dining experience, perfect for a date night. In our case, we were a group of nine so we got patio seating. The patio is spacious and well kept, and if the weather cooperates, a great place to hang. One thing that really stood out to me is the amazing ambience of this place. I was told that the bartenders pick the music for the night from the owners extensive vinyl collection. Once the album is in, they play it in it's entirety. The sound system was systeming and on top of the great company and food, we were totally vibing with the music. Customer service was amazing. Every staff member we came across was so friendly, especially our server. The menu here changes. There are some mainstays, but they like to change things up. Their website shows current menus daily. We were told that family style is the best way to experience this restaurant. I am one of those people that will always listen to the staff and go with their suggestions. Our group went through quite a bit of their menu from apps, entrees and desserts. I loved that our server and staff brought our food out one by one in what they thought was the best progression so we could take a culinary journey. We started off light with their popular Dilly Bread. Best bread I've had in awhile. Next was the Texas Tartare. It was my first ever tartare and it was delicious. We then moved on to Fingerlingin Good which was a crispy potato dish with chili crisp and mascarpone. It was potatoes elevated to the highest level and so so good. Next up was Beer Battered Sweet Tots. I didn't think sweet potatoes could be that good. Our first entree was a vegan dish called the Carroty Kid. I could seriously become a vegan if all dishes tasted like this. It was curried. A bowl of jasmine rice would've made it a complete meal. Next we tried another famous Nobie's dish called Nonno's Pasta. Handmade, perfectly cooked tagliatelle with a delicious bolognese. I wouldn't share this next time. Ok, I will, but it was that good. On to the heavier dishes. First up was the Jamon With Your Bad Self. This came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. It was favorite heavy entree. It was high quality, iberico pork steak with shaved brussels and all kinds of other tasty ingredients that when combined made such a tasty bite. We then went to the sea with the Drops of Grouperter. It was good, but not something I would order again. It was a little too smoky for my liking. Our biggest dish that came market priced was the Kick His Ass Seabass. This was a whole fish that was presented beautifully on a platter with all the accouterments to make your own elevated fish tacos. We left no morsel of fish behind. It was absolutely delicious. One of the things this place is really known for is their pies. This was the part I was most excited about. Just like their menu, their pies change up. We got all their offerings that night which they presented on one big platter of goodness. Their main stay and I believe always on the menu is the famous Olive Oil Cake. It's not a pie, but I can see why this is such a popular dessert. I can't even describe it, you just have to try it to understand. The pies we had were the Black Bottom Strawberry Pie, Banana Rum, and the Peanut Butter Pie. I would order all of them again. We all had a difference of opinion on which was the best, but my fave was the Banana Rum. Overall, I was highly impressed with this place and kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to make it here. It had made it's way to the top of my list of favorite restaurants in Houston. I will be back.

    Houston has done it again! I'm going to be a little controversial here, but why is the food so much…read morebetter here than it is it Dallas? Had a 5:30pm resy, seated outside right away that Saturday evening--it was a full house 45 minutes later. You'd be a fool to skip the dilly bread--a complete fool! The rolls are pillowy and warm. I could eat the butter by the pint. The fingerlinging potato dish is also a must have...pretty small for $19 but tastes like heaven. Spicy! Zaddy was being a bit of a clutz that evening and knocked over my $20 mezcal cocktail, so what does he do? Orders me another one! (That's why he's "zaddy") ....kind of wish he hadn't...so wasn't worth the price tag. Skip it. The chicken dinner was definitely the winner--fresh, juicy breast, crispy skin...don't be cute, you won't finish it unless your party has at least 4 in it! The flies were ruthless! Very annoying! They were acting like the geekers that come bother you just outside your favorite fried chicken joint in south Dallas! Our waitress brought out a table fan so that made the experience a little more tolerable. The chocolate peanut butter pie tasted like a salt rock and the lemon chiffon pie had great flavor but not lemony enough for me. All in all this place is a bit pricey but truly a gem! Until next time, Nobie!

The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

    I'm landing right in the middle on this one because the food is genuinely great, the drinks are…read moredelicious, and they offer a ton of vegetarian options. The overall vibe is casual and welcoming, making it a great place to grab a few drinks with friends or coworkers. The indoor and outdoor seating options are nice when Houston isn't blistering hot. Parking can be tough, though, since the lot is shared with a couple of other restaurants. That said, this recent visit was overshadowed by what was easily the most awkward and least customer-focused service experience I've had here. I was dining with a group of friends, and one friend ordered a meal to eat there along with another item to go. There was a little confusion when the order was placed, but we thought everything had been clarified. When the food arrived, both items were served on plates for the table. We politely explained that one of them was supposed to be a to-go order. It turned out the server had entered an additional order and believed we wanted both items for the table. What bothered me wasn't the mistake itself--those happen. It was the response. There was no apology, and instead we were told the misunderstanding was due to how we had communicated the order. We decided to keep all the food and move on, but the interaction felt unnecessarily defensive. I came a little late and was looking at the menu and asked whether they still had the fried eggplant dish that had been on the menu before. The response was simply, "No." No explanation, no follow-up, just an awkward silence. It set the tone for the rest of the interaction. So I decided to let her know I'll continue to look. This response was so uncomfortable that I later decided not to order anything at all. At one point, the server mentioned she had overheard us talking about having a "crazy weekend" and seemed to use that as an explanation for the earlier confusion. Whether there was miscommunication on both sides or not, the overall experience felt unnecessarily tense. I've typically had wonderful experiences here, which is why this visit stood out so much. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are still reasons I'd come back, but please avoid assigning Naya to customers if she's not willing to be a bit more cordial.

    Delicious, creative meal with friendly and attentive service. We sat in the patio out back in June…read moreand it was a bit warm even with the fans so my preference would be to try to sit inside. Still it was fine. Enjoyed the gem salad, Nancy cakes, lamb tartare and wood grilled half chicken. Side of the beef fat sticky rice. Nancy cakes: yes I could eat these every visit. Really good combination of flavors and textures. Everything was nice: lamb tartare was delicious, salad was strong. Chicken satisfying. Had a solid dessert too: hazelnut marjolaine. I look forward to returning and trying a whole new batch of dishes.

    Nancy's Hustle is the real deal…read more Walked in with no expectations and left wondering how I'd gone this long without eating here. The Nancy Cakes are worth the hype, piping hot with that whipped butter and smoked trout roe combo that somehow just works. We also had the dumplings and the double cheeseburger on the English muffin, both excellent. The burger especially punches way above what you'd expect from a bistro. The vibe is perfect. Dark, relaxed, no pretension, and still feel like you're having a great night out. Michelin Bib Gourmand for a reason. This is one of the best restaurants in Houston, full stop. Just make a reservation, the place fills up fast.

    Grilled snapper-$35 and the silver lining- $15. My last meal request. The best combo I've had in 2025. Perfect portion size.

    We recently celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday at State of Grace, and it was truly an…read moreexceptional dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was out of this world. The front hostess, Annabella, was incredibly welcoming and helpful, making us feel valued from the start. Our waiter was equally amazing and attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring we had a wonderful evening. We started with the deviled eggs and crab beignets, both of which were absolutely delicious. Their French onion soup was hearty. Drinks were fabulous too. For our meal, we ordered the mashed potatoes, cacio e pepe, pork schnitzel, blackened fish, miso fish, and burger, and every dish was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The restaurant went above and beyond by surprising my mother-in-law with a birthday dessert (upon my request when I had originally booked it), which was such a thoughtful touch and made the celebration even more memorable. We also enjoyed the pecan ball and chocolate soufflé, and both were outstanding. Between the incredible food, impeccable service, and special attention to our celebration, State of Grace exceeded all expectations. Annabella, our waiter, and the entire staff made the evening feel truly special. Easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in Houston, and we can't wait to return! I will be planning a girls night there soon!

    The pickled shrimp was just ok. Not enough flavor to me, just a mix of some ingredients…read more The oysters and accompaniments were great. Presentation was nice. Hollywood, va voom and metagorda all similar in taste to each other. The maison salad was delicious. Butter lettuce with the toppings and sauce was just enjoyable. The butter burger sliders were good. Just would like it thicker as it's too much bun. The cookie on the way out was so awesome, I almost went back in to grab another. Gingerbread I think. Avery was a wonderful bartender and kept up with entertaining conversations and was attentive to all service needs. Tried the g4 tequila reposado and it was very easy drinking.

The wings are good and at a great price point; I believe it was 9 wings for about $12, which is not bad at all. The broccoli, an add on side, was bland and cold. The chocolate croissant was okay. Service was quick walk in order at the counter and you can order at the table too off the app . Ambiance is calm and chill Overall, it's a great place with a solid menu, and they have happy hour as well. Check it out if you're in the area.

The restaurant is connected to one of the main parking garages. The first two hours are free which is convenient. It has a more casual feel because of the counter service setup. I like that they have a large menu. We visited on a Sunday afternoon which meant we had the option to order from the brunch menu. The dining area is a good size and they also have a nice patio which is where we sat. The staff was nice, but they were slow at times. The biggest issue was with the food. I ordered the Chicken Tenders which came with Fries and Honey Slaw. I also ordered a side of Broccoli. The Fries and Broccoli were cold while the Cole Slaw was too salty for my taste preference. The Chicken Tenders and dipping sauces (Cayenne Ranch and Honey Mustard) were tasty. One of my dining companions sent some of her food back because it was also served cold. One of the employees was going to reheat her food, and she had to ask for a new order to be brought out (which they reluctantly did). For my beverage I had the Blueberry Spritz which is a mocktail. It was very good and refreshing, but took quite a while to be brought to the table. The staff was nice enough to grab extra napkins and utensils for us when we asked which was very nice of them to do. Maybe it was just an off day for the staff and hopefully they have fixed the issue with serving cold food that is meant to be served hot. I'll wait a little while longer before returning.
