Atmosphere and food were top tier! My mother and I were supposed to be meeting someone on this side of town and we just searched for brunch n the area. This was spot on!!! We live almost 40 minutes away but could easily come again. We arrive and we were served right away. It was such a beautiful day that we opted to dine outside on the patio. We ordered the catfish and grits, garlic herb lamb & eggs, and the French toast. Eyes definitely bigger than stomach, but everything seemed so good! We ended up bringing some home for later. Oh, portions are on point, you will not leave hungry. read more

I picked this place from the Houston Restaurant Week list. They are located in Katy kinda ducked off on Kingsland. The GPS will guide you there but it is in the rear. We had reservations and once we arrived we were seated immediately. We both ordered from the HRW menu. I had the Carmel pecan pancakes and scrambled eggs. The pancakes were so fluffy delicious. My wife had the chicken and waffles. We also had fruit and a parfait as well as a carafe of Peach mimosas. Our service was excellent and we ever got a tour of the upstairs event area. There are stairs and an elevator to reach it. This was a way to check out some of their menu. I throughly enjoyed my experience and we will definitely return. read more

This is such a vibrant spot. Great esthetics and good music playing in the background. They have a cute little patio as well which is great when the suns out! Very soulful here. The owner RC is extremely nice and the waitresses were great especially Alexis. The service was top tier and they went above and beyond. Now the food, the food was delicious. Just walking in I wanted to ask everyone what they were eating. I went for brunch and got avocado toast and shrimp and grits. AMAZING!!! My sister had the steak and eggs. That steak was seasoned so well and cooked to perfection. I definitely have to come back for dinner. Thursday nights they even have karaoke of throwback 90s hip hop and RnB. You've gotta check them out. read more

A TRUE HIDDEN GEM, FAMILY AFFAIR, WINE DOWN, CHILL SPOT!!!! I Love everything about this place. From the greeters, to the owners, to the management staff, bartenders, and waitstaff. Everyone is absolutely amazing!!! My favorite Waitress Ashley is always smiling no matter the task before her. She is always wiling to go over and beyond concerning her customers. I know you are thinking she must know someone or she is trying to give them a perfect review. Let me provide why I enjoy being at this establishment and bringing business all of the time. On several occasions I have had issues, other guest have had issues and the food was not always superb. There was not a time that ROD OR RJ did not make things right by addressing everyone. This venue, staff and owners treat everyone like family. This is one of the main reasons I keep coming back because no one is perfect. The ambiance is amazing. The are always working to improve and upgrade the amenities. The value the feedback of the customers and FREQUENT PATRONS. The owners ROD AND RJ literally walk around and great everyone making sure they are satisfied Karaoke is Amazing and the DJ always does his thing with the VERSATILITY OF THE MUSIC. They welcome all patrons I have seen many cultures enjoying themselves Come out and try it for yourself and I promise you will not be disapponted. read more

New to the area and wanted something non-chain. Popped in and found the place to quint, as it's not terribly large. I ordered the catfish and grits. It was really yummy. Also had the strawberry French toast...that was a bust! The French toast had too much cinnamon or what tasted like cardomon and just made it odd, so we sent it back! We asked for just plain wheat toast (they didn't have). So, we'll definitely try it again...but mid-grade on this visit as they're batting 1 for 2. read more

I had an easy time making a reservation, and even though we arrived early, the hostess was happy to accommodate us and sat us without the entire party. We were greeted by several members of their staff while waiting for the rest of the party to arrive. Our waitress was freaking awesome. Definitely a slower brunch--we sat down at 11 and left around 12:30. It's not a huge place and maybe did its best to be trendy. The art on the ceiling was a unique touch. Our table ordered almost everything on the brunch menu and, generally, everyone enjoyed their meal. Theres no "rave" review I can offer: everything was...good. Not great. Not to die for. Just good. Largely very forgettable. We also had a 20% off coupon from Yelp that the manager was not eager to apply to our bill--not sure why that caused any problems. read more

Overall I was impressed. I took my parents here on a Saturday evening for dinner. The two owners were really attentive and made sure that our evening was going well. We also had a great server, I didn't catch her name unfortunately. We ordered the crab cakes, stuffed avocado, lamb chops, and the salmon filet. All of the dishes were good, which influenced us to order dessert. I would highly recommend the butter cake. It was excellent and just enough. A couple of negatives: it's kind of in an obscure spot and I was confused about where the front entrance was. Also, the food took a little too long to come out, but I think they're just opening and working things out. We will definitely be back! Yay for black-owned businesses! read more

Park Place at the Boardwalk is a great place to get a bite to eat, or hang out with friends anytime of day. The inside of the restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere that will make you feel right at home. The brunch menu is fantastic with tasty options like shrimp and grits, steak and eggs and so much more. They even offer karaoke and live music on Thursday with $3 drink and food specials! RC the owner was also amazing. Not only does he own and run a wonderful restaurant with fantastic food. But we also found out that he's also a pillar in the community. Alexis our server was also great! Offering her favorite menu items and providing friendly and efficient service read more

So my girlfriend and I decided to go to Park Place at the boardwalk for dinner to try their $3 lamb chop special that was advertised on Houston Black Restaurant week website. We went there with no reservation and thought since the website didn't state that we needed one well we were sadly mistaken. The host said a reservation was needed and that they were "full" for the night. However, when we went on open table it showed different, so we booked a reservation on open table. Fyi book your reservation beforehand and not when you get there, like we did lol because we still had to wait but decided to go upstairs instead of waiting. Ambiance: it was cool! A light soul r&b played in the background which created an intimate atmosphere for a simple date night or a girls/boys night out on town. I really wish I could've experienced the downstairs/outdoor seating area but we didn't have our reservation in before we arrived, so no fault to them. If you want to go for cocktail and you want to seat at the bar, I suggest you go early because seating is very limited and tight. There is 3 sections to Park Place at boardwalk (downstairs seating, upstairs where they do karaoke every Thursday and Friday, and upstairs outside seating). Food: well our soul purpose was to try their $3 lamp chops and let's just say I now know why it's $3. I don't have a picture because it was returned. I ended up getting grilled salmon blacked (owner's recommendation) and medium rare my preferred meat/fish temperature with grilled veggies, and garlic mashed potato. I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes and veggies! The veggies were crunchy, evenly seasoned, and cooked to perfection (if you ask me). For the mashed potatoes, it was well whipped and very creamy (in a good way) I really enjoyed it to the point I wished I would've gotten only those two as a meal. For the salmon, well again, I like it medium rare and not a lot of cooks know how to cook a salmon to its temperature. Nevertheless the less, I really enjoyed the food. over cooked, mushy, or over seasoned! Since we sat upstairs (karaoke area) there's no food served up there hence why our food are in to go plates. Service: the service was excellent! The host, with knowing we didn't have a reservation she did attempt to get us seated quickly. Britheny (not sure if I spelt it correctly) was very accommodating and knows how to make a good cocktail! The owner Rod, also was accommodating, showed great leadership, understood customer service. All in all, if you are looking for a spot in Katy that provides an ambiance that's not to loud, has different sitting areas, good cocktail, karaoke, $3 lamb chops on Thursday and $5 on Friday! I would definitely recommend going to Park Place at Boardwalk it worth the experience and try. read more

The cajun salmon, and most of the sides (except the Mac n' Cheese) were delicious. My daughter ordered a medium rare t-bone (which was cooked rare), but it was still good because we both like rare steak. Just wanted people to know the steak cooking is prolly not consistent. The service was average (nothing special). It felt a little cramped in there. The price and quality were reasonable. I would consider going back for the Salmon. read more

I wanted to fully love this place, but didn't quite get there. I enjoyed the low key atmosphere on a Sunday, where most places offering brunch are jammed packed in Houston. I had the catfish and grits which was good, but not the best catfish I have ever had. I also had the pancakes, which were good, but not the best pancakes I have ever had. These two dishes were not disappointing, but also didn't stand out. Highlights of my trip to Katy was the service and the complimentary brunch mimosa! read more

My party of 2 made reservations on Open Table for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Happy Hour, per website. Upon arrival, our GPS said arrived at the address in the strip center. However, you must drive around back to the actual restaurant with 2 small rows of parking spaces. We dressed in business casual. Upon entry, we were greeted by the owner and asked if we had reservations. As you enter the small restaurant, the tables are right there in front of you, fully stocked bar with stools to the right, patio and tables visible through windows to left. Reserved tables were clearly marked and we were told to pick one. Albeit small, the owners invested in the ambiance with multiple tv screens in dining room, multi-colored lights, scenic ceiling light boxes, tea light glasses on tables, covered patios, and one toilet and a Dyson hand dryer in the ladies restroom. Ashley, our server, handed us drink and food menus. Happy Hour items were not listed on menus, so Ashley recited them. There was a wait for food. Customers wore shorts, sweats, and jeans. Bartenders were casually dressed and the owner wore a hoodie and jeans. I presumed because of Open Table reservation and elegant and classy steakhouse it would be business casual. Food arrived- burger, spicy jerk lamb chops, parmesan wings, and garlic mashed potatoes, warm butter cake and a coke. Hands down our favs-garlic mashed potatoes and butter cake 5/5. Burger was smashed and pitiful, other items were ok. Suggestions: change burger buns and patties, include the Happy Hour items on menu, and remove the table next to the door and replace with a hostess stand to greet guests. Please make sure to ask for Page, an amazing waitress who stopped by to ask if we'd been served. I listened to her at 2 different tables then asked her over to ours. She literally is a walking billboard for Park Place--Thursday specials, delicious desserts like your Grandma made, join our restaurant Facebook Group, and your new restaurant opening. She is an asset to your team and customers alike. read more

Decided to hang out for resturant week and check out brunch here. The parking is decent. The atmosphere is small and cozy. The customer service was okay. I got the shrimp and grits which were pretty good but the shrimp were really small compared to other places. My boyfriend stayed his food was pretty good as well. The fish was crunchy and seasoned. The bacon was thick and awesome! We may try to go back for dinner and try out steaks since that is their specialty! read more

We reserved a table for seven, and they seated us right away, even though we were still waiting for two people to show up. It wasn't very busy for Sunday afternoon. The place is smaller on the inside than expected, but you don't feel like you're too close to the other guest. They also have a nice patio area. The music was on point for brunch, and it wasn't too loud. I ordered the shrimp and grits with the bottomless mimosas for $30. I felt the meal could use more seasoning/flavor. The mango mimosas were delicious. I just didn't like always having to ask for a refill. They don't give you the carafe for the bottomless mimosas, and you have to stick to the flavor that you ordered. There were a few times I could see the bartender prepared my drink, but i couldn't locate my waitress. So, i had to wait for it to be brought to the table. There is an 18% gratuity for a large party. When the waitress brought the machine to pay, she said the gratuity hadn't been added to the bill. Since the numbers were not adding up, we asked for the itemized receipt. Thank goodness we did because the gratuity was on the bill. I think our waitress was new and just didn't realize it. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience. Plan on going back for their Thursday night happy hour. read more

If you're looking for a brunch spot in Katy or just great food then this is the spot. I usually take pics but I was too busy digging in. Highly recommend everything. I'm a picky eater but tried my husband's lamb chops and they were great. I had a flight of mini pancakes and may be in a sugar coma. It was worth it. Classic, fruity pebbles and blueberry lemon pancakes! OMG Paired it with the flight of mimosas and I'm ready for nap time. This may be my new weekly spot. I ate everything and wanted more but wisdom kicked in and I knew I would be uncomfortable if I ate more. Reasonable prices and great portions. I'm already thinking about my next meal. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and enjoyed the ambiance. The owner walked around to ensure we were having a great time. Also, it has different events throughout the week.

Shay was an amazing and attentive waitress. Ace says hi and thank you for my fruit and eggs! The catfish and grits were exceptional. Portion sizes were big. My husband got the shrimp and grits. The shrimp were big and juicy, just how we like them. We didn't get any pictures because we were too busy enjoying our food and drinks. The Bloody Mary was great as well as our mimosa and "dad"mosa for my husband. Restrooms were baby friendly with a beautiful changing table. #MomWin Restrooms were very clean also which is very important to us especially with an infant. For brunch, they have any dish comes with a mimosa, so that's pretty cool. We loves the cool lighting and space, music, and vibes. We will definitely come back. read more

This might be a good brunch place but certainly not for dinner. We went there for an early Sunday dinner (5:15pm because they close at 7). The menu was already limited and they were out of a lot of food. We ordered 1 tenderloin, 2 NY strip steaks, and 1 salmon entree from the HRW menu. They were all awful. All the steaks, despite ordering medium rare, were completely done. The salmon tasted like it was boiled in water. They also have no red wine and had 2 kinds of white. Definitely won't recommend for dinner. read more

Sub par food served after a very long wait after ordering. Ambiance is average but the layout is weird.

Katy's hidden gem. A must try. Just a year since opening, Chef RC served up perfect dishes and bartender Mercedes served up an amazing Old Fashioned. We will be back soon. See you for Brunch!!! PS. I had the salmon and my sister had the filet. Perfect temps and sides. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere , the food and drinks were amazing: The staff were very attentive.

30 minute wait for coffee, nearly 2 hours for our dishes. We were one of three tables in the entire restaurant & the second table to arrive. The party after us actually stormed out due to the long wait, but our group stayed (without complaint) because we've already waited for so long. We tried to be understanding knowing that this restaurant recently opened, but feel like our experience warrants an HONEST review since it looks like the other reviews might be biased. As for the food, it was mediocre and most of the dishes from our group were either really bland or way too buttery. Honestly not sure why a plate of eggs would take 2 hours. Even the steak dishes shouldn't take 2 hours. Limited brunch menu, on the pricer side & no iced coffee (they'll cool down their hot coffee for you though). Not sure how their dinner menu is, but would definitely skip the brunch here. Also, please note that they do tack on 20% mandatory gratuity for parties of 5 or more. This should have been disclosed from the start, but we didn't find out until we had to pay and noticed the extra charges. read more

Don't let the yelp photos fool you, this is a very very casual place. Vulgar and loud hip hop music and mediocre food. Take Applebees and make it a little Cajun and that's what you get. Had two options for wine and waitress admitted they had been open for 3 days. Absolutely inedible when we got it. Other drinks were are all very sweet. $30 per plate lobster dippers were good overwhelmingly covered in batter, couldn't taste the lobster. How this place has so many good reviews for the price is beyond me. read more
