    Proof a clean kitchen
    Manuel H.

    We drive past this restaurant everytime we go to Walmart which is accross the street. My wife finally convinced me and we went for a late lunch, 245pm and it was empty. We were greeted and given menus. My wife likes Reuben sandwiches and I love and scour the planet for hamburgers. My wife ordered the Reuben and Rebecca with chips and pickles. She absolutely loved it and said it was the best Reuben since we left NYC 20 years ago. Like I said I am a hamburger aficianado. I will always take a burger over a steak. (not my wife, who thinks that is sacriligious). My bad was that I stopped reading when I read Cowboy Meal which was listed as a burger. It was an AWESOME looking plate and worth just looking at it BUT it was not a burger: it was a salisbury steak!!! I almost cried! On the plus side is that it had a lot of bacon!!! Was it tasty? Meh. Was it a juicy burger? No Way! My side was the smoked paprika salad which was very good. Leaving you walk past their desserts which even a blind person will stop in the tracks. I ordered to go a lemon bar which was very heavy and not skimpy and wife had their apple pie. They didn't make through the night!! The service was excellent and friendly. Will we come back? Absolutely for I want to try their burger. p.s. Really clean bathroom.

    I would always drive by but never stopped to try this e. I was happy I did. Great coffee place and friendly waiters. Pastry options galore. Will definitely go back soon.

    Great breakfast, pastries, juices and coffee. Had the breakfast naan which was a very generous size. The raspberry juice tasted fresh. Finished with a latte and a fig danish that tasted like a fresh fig newton. Friendly staff!

    I had the pleasure of stopping by Salt and Sugar in Houston thanks to my family placing an order last minute after running some errands . I walked in and remembered I came to Salt & Sugar like a year ago! The order I picked up: Fish and chips with a side of Tatar sauce and balsamic vinaigrette garden salad. Four cookies: oatmeal, carrot, s'mores, and peanut butter. (I was coerced into getting them by Lonzo lol) Mannn let me tell you the fish was incredibly fresh, with a crispy, golden coating (beer batter) that didn't overpower the flavor. Cod fish btw. The fish and chips was accompanied by their house-made tartar sauce, which was creamy, tangy, and clearly made with care. The salad came with a light vinaigrette that paired perfectly with the meal. Customer service was on point. Lonzo really made the experience memorable with his warm attitude and attention to detail. I didn't plan on getting dessert, but thanks to his great service, I walked out with four cookies. Each one had its own charm, but the carrot and s'mores stood out; rich, chewy, and clearly baked fresh. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, a nice little spot that feels both relaxed and welcoming. Great for a casual bite or a low-key evening out. Salt & Sugar is a lowkey cool spot.

    Loved it! Great food! Cool place with original art and Katz coffee. We had breakfast which resulted in one of the best omelette I have ever had! Creoles chicken, bacon, scallion and white cheddar. This place is also a fully functioning bakery with great looking cakes and pastries... next time!

    Salt & Sugar is a must-try! The owner, Sally, is a gem and the staff are all super friendly! I came in with a huge group and they had already pushed together tables for us. The dining room was perfect. We ordered everything at the counter and they brought our food to us. The unanimous opinion: everything was wonderful!! I'm a sucker for a Reuben sandwich and this one was great. A little bit of a twist, but I enjoyed it. A few notable choices were the fish and chips, truffle egg salad, the fried green tomato blt, and the pork chop. The only downside to ordering the pork chop is that it takes about 30 minutes to cook. If you're ok waiting, it's a no-brainer to try! Everyone who got fries said they were delicious and many of us got dessert to-go. I can't wait to bring back my family to try more of their menu. I know it's going to be great!

    We went to a coffee shop near by and wanted some brunch/lunch. I searched on Yelp and found this little spot who services breakfast and lunch. I got the chicken sandwich on a biscuit with a side of gravy and honestly, it didn't disappoint! I also grabbed a kolache to go for my husband, and services was speedy and kind! Definitely check out this cute little spot!

    I decided to bring a group here for a 2024 Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner because I heard good things about Salt & Sugar. Some things here surprised me but the food was really good. Parking space is limited in front of the restaurant and that was all I could see. Inside it's half bakery/dessert shoppe and half restaurant. Finally you order and pay at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. From the HRW menu it was a 3 course affair for $39 and I started with the monkey bread, then the bourbon maple pork chop for the main and to finish the peach cobbler tart. A nice extra with this HRW menu is that the price included a glass of wine or beer from the menu. I went with the red blend. Our first courses arrived about 10 minutes later. My bread was in a cup and overflowed it consisting of about 5 large pieces when broken up. It was warm and fluffy and I could taste the rosemary and salt in that pillow of pure deliciousness. With some supplied honey butter, this bread was amazing. I couldn't get enough of it but fortunately there was plenty of it. I was the only one that ordered it and had to yell a couple of times, "don't touch my monkey bread"! Later the pork chop arrived with green beans and mashed potatoes. The 14 oz. chop was almost boneless meaning it was a lot of meat. The combination of the apple chutney on top and the maple/onion sauce used to cook the chop made this pork chop a pleasure to eat. Very flavorful and tender! The green beans were good and slightly crunchy. The mashed potatoes were outstanding. While it had soft potato chunks in a buttery and creamy sauce, I found this combination to be perfect. It was oh so smooth and satisfying to eat. This is my favorite mashed potatoes with no gravy needed or wanted. Finally the peach cobbler tart showed up with a scoop of vanilla in the center with a blueberry on top for a splash of color and taste. With Salt & Sugar being half bakery I expected this to be good and it was. The peaches, pastry and ice cream were all delicious and devoured with a spoon as it should be. After this meal, I felt stuffed. After this meal, I felt satisfied. After this meal, I wondered whether to rate it a 4 or a 5. Everything exceeded my expectations and for $39 (with a glass of wine) also made it a real value in my mind. From a HRW perspective, this was a 5 meal. Quality and price made that an easy decision. Since I tried to order some selections from the regular menu like the bread and chop, I believe that the food here is excellent whether it's for HRW or just a meal anytime. The kitchen here really stands out.

    : Salt & Sugar: A Gem of casualties with Amazing Fries! This place totally hit the spot and got 5 stars from me. If you're looking for a place that feels like a little escape Salt & Sugar is it. Let's start with the food - the fries! They were perfect, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, just how I like them. Seriously, I'd go back for those alone if I see one again. And for a drink the Mexican Coca-Cola was a great choice - that real sugar taste is everything and was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. Beyond the food the vibe at Salt & Sugar is something special. It's so calm and peaceful, such a breath of fresh air compared to some busier places. You really do feel like you're eating in a really welcoming, relaxed environment - exactly that 'at home' feeling you crave when you're eating out. Overall Salt & Sugar is a winner. Whether you're looking for a quiet meal on your own, a relaxed catch up with a friend or just some comfort food in a chill setting this is the place to go. Give Salt & Sugar a try - you won't regret it!

    My Fiancé and I came here for my last minute birthday dinner. I absolutely loved the food and I could see myself coming back very soon. I would love to try their breakfast/brunch next. You do get your own silverware and water. The only downfall to the place is they do not have beer or wine. When my Fiancé and I go out for date night we like to grab a glass or two of wine. Overall, super cute little cafe and will definitely be back.

    I was getting my car serviced close by when I stumbled upon this place. Boy was I overwhelmed, I was whipping out my phone to take photos for yelp but it felt like never ending because there was so many options and little things you can buy. I am overspending on sweets budget because SHEESH, some things that caught my attention, cereal milk cookie (a big one at that), Oreo rice Krispy, ginger bread cookies, all the different spreads (schemers) for the bagels, like there's sooo many things offered, and BREAD too! sheesh. a full breakfast and lunch menu, where you pay at the counter. They use KATS coffee. used to be urban eats, rebrand? A table in the front for people to drop off their business cards, I actually picked up a massage card and got a same day massage when I left there that was pretty good. I ordered a plain bagel (they ask if you want it buttered and grilled) equivalent to sliced and toasted, of course im gonna say YES. Scallion schmear, chicken sausage, and gouda grits a la cart, they also have juices. I got the green one with cactus. It was good! The bagel wasn't super crispy, and the schemer wasn't thicc but this is also not a bagel shop. personally I felt like this place has so much to offer, and its overwhelming for the consumer. it took me like 20 minutes to figure out what I wanted to order. outside seating available for those cool days ahead, but if you go, I would love to hear what you got, and what you thought. cheers!

    This is a the cutest little spot and I can't wait to go back! A client of mine suggested this place and I'm so happy he did. You order at the counter and they bring the food out. There are so many different options for dessert it's hard to choose just one. My sandwich was huge and the bread was amazing. I couldn't eat it all!

It's hard to choose sometimes, and I wanted to try something new to me. We opted for J. Alexander's and made reservations though it really wasn't busy for a Sunday evening. For being in the uptown park area, it sits on a huge lot with plenty of parking compared to all the restaurants across the street. We were seated in a nice booth on the second level. The food came out quickly. We opted for the HRW menu. Deviled eggs - Good. Filled with lots of yolk and the pickled relish but kind of dry. It needed more mayo. It was also heavily dusted with paprika all over and on the plate for "decor". 5 oz filet with bearnaise sauce and loaded baked potato - The filet was really small for 5 oz. Even the small filet medallions at B&B Butcher are slightly bigger. It was flavorful. Some parts looked more medium well than medium. I skipped the bearnaise sauce. It tasted vinegary more than creamy. The baked potato was really good. It was soft and fluffy and was great with all the toppings. Carrot cake - I've never had a warm carrot cake before but thought it was good. The icing is sweet and could have more cream cheese in it. I think the carrot cake had shredded coconut in it. Unique. Mocktail: I had the Lyre's pineapple margarita. Loved it. I would order that again. Not too sweet or sour and enjoyed the chamoy/tajin around the rim. I'm curious about their other dishes. I'd be opening to trying more items on the menu. My friend's Brasserie Chicken with panko-crusted, parmesan, lemon caper sauce, tomatoes, smashed potatoes, and broccoli looked really good and was a large portion. Service was great, and they pack your leftovers for you and place it on a hook at the end of the booth.

    I wandered in not expecting much, but my experience here ended up much better than I thought…read more I went with their August prix fixe and went with their Truffle Deviled Eggs, Crispy Sweet & Sour Shrimp, and Key Lime Tart. The deviled eggs make good comfort food and was satisfying. This version doesn't have much of a kick, but it's very creamy and you can definitely taste the truffle oil. The homemade potato chips also add to the texture and salt between bites. The shrimp dish was fun with a light and crispy batter, well-seasoned and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. The cool ranch surprisingly added to the shrimp and enhanced the chili sauce rather than overwhelming it. The made-in-house fries were far better than expected. I was somewhat expecting dense, oily, boring fries, but these were very crisp and somehow didn't feel too greasy as far as fries goes. Almost seemed like an injustice for it to be served with ketchup as it was too good for it. Lastly, the tart was a great way to end the meal without it being too much. Loved the crust. The tart shell tasted really good and went well with the filling, which had a lighter consistency than pudding. Fruits tasted like they were on season, even though it should be a bit too late for strawberries. I'm also a sucker for meringue. I'll have to come back to see if it wasn't a fluke, but there were a lot of dishes here that looked good. Maybe even swing by for happy hour, we'll see.

    I was excited to finally try Balboa Surf Club since I drive by it all the time and it's located…read morenear several of my favorite restaurants. Unfortunately, this turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in quite some time. We had an 8:00 PM reservation but weren't seated until around 8:30 PM. While delays happen and I was willing to overlook that, the experience only went downhill from there. We ordered Palomas to kick off our Friday night. The drinks took quite a while to arrive, and when they did, they were noticeably watered down. I politely mentioned it to our server, who quickly took them back and brought replacements, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the second round was nearly identical to the first. When I brought it up again, instead of acknowledging the feedback, the server responded by saying it was "just not a sugary drink." That completely missed the point. I wasn't expecting a sweet cocktail--I was pointing out that the drinks tasted diluted and poorly made. What bothered me most wasn't the drinks themselves, but how the feedback was handled. I wasn't looking for free drinks or trying to be difficult. I was simply offering honest feedback, and it felt like my opinion was being dismissed rather than heard. Unfortunately, the food didn't redeem the experience. We ordered several dishes to get a good sense of the menu, and most were overwhelmingly salty. The salt overpowered any other flavors to the point that we couldn't finish some of the dishes. The sushi was the best thing we had, but even that lacked the presentation and quality I would expect at this price point. To be fair, the manager did remove the drinks from our bill as a courtesy, and I appreciate that gesture. However, by that point the damage had already been done. A resolution is only effective when guests feel heard and respected throughout the process. Instead, I felt like I had to defend my opinion and justify my feedback before anyone took it seriously. At the end of the day, a restaurant can be trendy, crowded, and beautifully designed, but none of that matters if the food and service don't deliver. Balboa Surf Club has the atmosphere and location, but in my experience it falls short where it matters most. Overall, I'm glad I finally tried it because I had always been curious, but now I know I won't be back and cannot recommend it. If you're looking for a similar concept, I'd recommend Hudson House. The atmosphere is comparable, but the drinks are consistently well-made, the food is much better, and the service has always been far superior.

The decor was a combo of old money Houston and mid-century mod. Lots of plants, lots of wood. Very dim. Service was slow but attentive and friendly. There are no mocktails on the drink menu, but they have a few on deck. They can also custom make you one. My husband ordered a Paloma and stated that it was very strong. For an app, we got the coconut shrimp. 10/10 -- well fried, coconut forward. Fun and easy bites. We also got the salmon roll and thought it was refreshing. Light umami, sauce was not needed. For our mains, we got the cheeseburger and redfish. My husband does not love seafood, but he devoured the redfish. It was flaky, buttery, with lots of crab. The burger was ok -- it reminded me of an elevated Big Mac. It was not a bad burger, but it wasn't that melty, gooey, buttery number some of us love. Get the lemon meringue. She is zesty, she is thick, she is tall. My husband, toddler, and I shared it and were stuffed. Balboa is a place I would take someone who likes seafood and good vibes.
