    Came for brunch on a Sunday. Definitely recommend making a reservation. I had to add myself to a waitlist to get the table I got lol. Waited probably 20 min even with our reservation. Our server was great! We got the biscuits to start and they were warm and flaky and yummy. We all had a variety of drinks- highlight was definitely the frospro tini- basically a frozen espresso martini. Most of us ordered the chicken fried chicken. They share a kitchen with La Lucha so you know the chicken was fire. One friend got the pancake and that was yummy as well I also came for dinner a few weeks later after hearing about their steak night. Same jist with the reservations. Had to wait for my table yet again for 20+ minutes- not a very good system. The food was good though. A bit pricey but you get a lot of food. It comes with a salad, fresh milk rolls, and a side of fries & onion rings. The portions are huge so I ended up taking half of mine home. Overall I like this restaurant. Their reservation system annoys me and they should really be better about having the tables ready ON time. If it was a one time thing maybe I'd write it off but for it to happen both times is unacceptable

    Parking is a bit crazy. You have to valet to park there or find alternative parking in the area. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is nice and the staff is friendly. I had breakfast tacos and did not care for them but I would like to go back and try something else. Their pancakes looked amazing. They have really great cocktails or non-alcoholic beverages. I would definitely recommend.

    Star Rover, Star Rover -- let David come over. I was sad when Superica closed, but happy with my first visit to Star Rover. The frozen espresso martini was a hit - especially in the hot Houston heat. The IYKYK appetizer was also solid. Entree-wise, you pretty much pick meat. The meat itself is good and they cook things to my preference. In addition to the entree, all meals come with salad and sides for the table. Service-wise, the staff are very attentive and friendly. They checked on us constantly and kept our drinks topped off. The place is family style and the ambiance is laid back. That means you can enjoy a steak while dressed like you're going to a neighborhood restaurant. I think I'm going to like visiting Star Rover over and over.

    Tried this spot out this past weekend and really enjoyed it! I was unsure about the attire - think red checked tablecloths but also steak dinner! I went with a cuter/upscale blue jean dress and it worked out perfectly. I had the frozen espresso martini, which was fabulous. Hit the spot on such a hot summer night. We were all pleasantly surprised to learn that each entree comes with rolls, salad, and fries and onion rings! It really made the meal, and everything was delicious. I went with the blackened redfish and think I had the best meal out of our group! The waitress recommended the ribeye, because she said it holds the most flavor. We had no room for dessert by the end, but they seem to have some good ones as well! Definitely recommend. Also: free skeeball outside!

    Potato skins

    Randomly just decided to try this place on a Saturday night and fortunately we were able to sit at the bar for a full menu because there was no seating available. Initially, service and first impression, no so friendly, but maybe they were busy because after receiving drinks, the lady bartender that took over was extremely friendly, great personality and offering suggestions. Portions were all good size, we started with the shrimp cocktail and potato skins. I had seen someone said you couldn't not get the potato skins and they were right, very good with a crispy skin. Filet was cooked good and my partner had the redfish which he really liked as well. We would definitely come back, worth it.

    My besties and I visited StarRover for the first time after seeing their Instagram content, and honestly, the food looked SO appetizing that I was really looking forward to trying it. The pancakes were at the very top of my list and honestly the main reason I wanted to go. Unfortunately, they didn't quite live up to the expectations created by the social media pictures. The pancake was dry, thick and didn't look or taste the way I expected based on what I had seen online. I also tried their Chicken Fried Chicken which was ok. Nothing bad, but nothing I would necessarily rave about either. Now let me talk about the CINNAMON ROLL. That thing was BOMB! I'd honestly give it an 8.5/10. Definitely the standout for me. Overall, the food just wasn't what I expected based on the hype and what I had seen on their Instagram. That said, THE SERVICE WAS EXCEPTIONAL! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming and attentive. Everyone greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel welcomed. And a special shoutout to our waitress, Laila B! Laila was absolutely BOMB! She was patient, courteous, friendly and incredibly attentive throughout our entire visit. She made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us consistently and provided exceptional customer service. Although the food didn't quite meet my expectations, the customer service definitely deserves its flowers! Kudos to the training staff/ team that puts customers first!

    Brunch at Star Rover did not disappoint! I researched Houston food spots to find the best pancakes in town which led me to Star Rover. It's not easy getting a same day reservations however, I booked the day before today on open table for mid afternoon. The restaurant is a lot more spacious than I imagined. Parking is valet only but is complimentary. There's an outdoor patio and plenty of indoor seating. The decor and vibe feels retro. I felt like I was in a scene on the tv Young Sheldon. For drinks we ordered their house mimosas and the frozen expresso martini. Both of our drinks were very strong (it hits you after a while) ! For our meal we shared the Ranchers Breakfast, which came with two eggs, fried pork belly, hash browns, jalapeño sausage, refried beans and a pancake. This was such a hearty meal! My fiancé and I shared it and it was more than enough! I really enjoyed this meal as it was packed with so much flavor and so savory. Even the veggies/peppers added the perfect kick of spicy to go with the eggs. The star of the meal was the pancake which is was exactly how I imagined it be. Crispy edges and soft, buttermilk like in the middle. Loved it! Reminded me of my grandmas pancakes.

    Walked across the street to undo pilates with brunch lol Definitely make resos bc they are POPPIN! We ended up waiting about 45 min. Good eats and a fun casual vibe. There's a decent sized patio outside with some games (it was rainy when we went so none of it was available). Valet parking or maybe some random street/lot parking around the area - but could be risky. Faves: CFC Hash browns Bacon, jalapeño cheddar sausage

    Dirty martini and house rolls

    Really enjoyed my time at star rover! The vibe is awesome- think old time country diner, but elevated. The premise is great with the all you can eat sides and rolls. I personally thought the steak and chicken were good but not mind blowing, and everything is expectedly very heavy. Great dinner though if you go in expecting that!

    ribeye
    Jessica W.

    WOW!!!!! star rover was amazing - the food was so good, service was impeccable, and the decor was so cute!!! one of the best ribeyes i've ever had! and the oysters, salad, and potato skins are a must try!

    Appetizer menu

    This parking lot is a hassle with backed up traffic trying to get into the valet lot. The valet is at the entrance of the lot, holding up traffic with people trying to enter and exit their vehicles. Luckily the restaurant waiting area is comfortable, benches and pillows along with skee balls for entertainment on patio. We dropped by 40 minutes earlier than reservation time, hoping they could accommodate for party of three. We grabbed a seat at the bar and ordered oysters first. However, our table was ready as soon as the oysters were served 15 minutes later. We carried it to the table and finished it there while waiting for a server to drop by. The complimentary hot rolls are served drenched in a plate of butter, couldn't stop eating them. Service was quick, plenty of different staff members dropped by to check on us after ordering and throughout our meal. The unlimited French fries and onion rings are served hot and crispy, hard not to overeat otherwise there's no room for your entrees. Also comes with unlimited salad. We ordered to share: Dozen oysters - shucked fresh, comes with full back of saltine crackers and lemon halves. So good, must have if you like raw oysters on a half shell. 12 oz ribeye - for $69, I expected a thicker cut of quality meat. The center was juicy despite the thinness but the marbling had too much tendon and grit, couldn't chew around it and ended up wasting 1/4 of the steak. I ordered this with a side of the crab cake - this was loaded with tender crabmeat in every bite, love it! 7 oz skirt steak - best skirt steak I've had that wasn't served fajita style. Tender and nicely sliced. Brown Butter Saltine Crunch Soft Serve - this was the star of the dining experience. I cannot fully explain it, melts in your mouth goodness of flavors that are different than any other soft serves that I've had before. Must try! I would come back with a bigger party to try more variety of apps and entrees next time - considering the price point. I would consider rideshare to avoid the parking lot hassle.

    Skirt steak
    Jason N.

    Celebrated father's day here, I was pretty surprised yelp rating was sitting at 3.9/5 when I pulled it up at the restaraunt. I think it's pretty spot on based on our meal. Had the: Skirt steak - 7 oz, one of the more popular steak entrees here. Very juicy, cooked just right at medium Included fried + onion rings: incredibly toasted fries. IMO it was TOO toasted which I'm not personally a fan of with a bit too much salt. That's quite rare for me to say that it was over my threshold but to each and their own. Onion rings were gigantic and we all enjoyed the onion rings much better Frozen espresso martini I thought was great no complaints CFC - country fried chicken I tried from our table and it was great and came out perfect. Perfect amount of breading which i feel like most places have too much breading for appearances Rib eye - 10oz great from my try of it Blackened red fish - 7oz, our table thought was dry but this place really is meant for steak Included salad - dressing was great Chocolate pie - very rich, I thought it was perfect! Beats good company pie IMO Parking lot is quite small. They had valet available for this busy holiday though which is nice. Overall I think 3.9/4 average yelp rating at the writing of this review is pretty spot on. Good, not the best, I would come back but also not go out of my way for it. For price wise, I would say I'd rather go to many of the other competitors in town for steak specifically probably. Exterior and interior looked great

    Basket of fries and onion rings along
    Jennifer H.

    The nineteen seventies called and said this is where it is at! This place is so kitschy and cool! The decor is rocking the shag carpet vibes. The food and service are five star all the way! A must is the potato skins!!! Fabulous! A small menu but no choice is a wrong one. They come with a basket of fries and onion rings along with a heaping salad. Drinks are also on point!!!! Frozen espresso martini- need I say more?

It also felt like a third space of sorts, because I was hanging out with a well connected friend, and everyone who came in was a who's who of the Houston restaurant/nightlife scene, and gathered for what turned out to be an unplanned hang out. They were hosting a vinyl swap night, so folks were coming in to peruse the many boxes of vinyls, and a DJ spun classic r&b tunes. I hear that on some nights they make space for a dance floor so people can show off their best two step in the space. The drinks were great and well priced but the wine selection is what got me. I was told they were inspired by Japan's many vinyl listening bars-- having been to many across Japan as well as many NYC imitators, this place actually impressively comes close. A true gem in Montrose.

Regarding the food, the Frisée Salad was pretty good, well dressed and flavorful. The chicken sandwich was okay. The batter was crispy and flaky but it had no flavor. What made it a lot better was the coleslaw that brought a great deal of tang and moisture. The steak was not quite for me. It came on a bed of sauce that was flavorful with fresh veggies but it did not go well with the steak. Perhaps chicken would've suited better. The steak itself was dry and quite chewy. For dessert we had the carrot cake tres leches which was decent. The carrot cake flavor was there but the moisture from the cake was not fully spread in the cake. Overall nothing here was bad but with the plethora of restaurants in the Houston area I can't justify recommending or returning.

We are still talking about it, I can't wait to come back and try their chimichurri sauce. We ended with the strawberry and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cheese cake.

There was absolutely no way we were finishing it. We brought a ton home, so while it's definitely pricey, you are getting a LOT of food. The steak itself was top notch and cooked perfectly. We started with the bacon appetizer, which was delicious and, again, so much food. We also had the Brussels sprouts and potatoes as sides, and both were really good. I cannot for the life of me remember the names of our drinks, but I remember one was similar to a Moscow Mule and the other was a martini-type drink with a little sliver of dragon fruit in it. I really wish I remembered the name because that one was SO good. Service was great from start to finish. The inside has more intimate, dim lighting, which was perfect for a birthday dinner or date night, but it wasn't overly stuffy. People were dressed anywhere from nice to fairly casual. It is definitely an expensive dinner, but we knew that going in when we made the reservation, so there was no sticker shock. Between the huge steak, great sides, drinks, and service, we really enjoyed our night. We'll definitely be back!

I sat upstairs with Stacy and Oscar at the bar, watched the Astros game, and had some extremely dirty gin martinis with hand-stuffed blue cheese olives.

Started with the BLT salad -- beefsteak tomato, thick-cut bacon, and mozzarella di bufala over spinach, drizzled with balsamic reduction. Basically every server upstairs told me it was their favorite salad. The bacon was thhiicccckkkk! For my second course, I got the 22 oz. bone-in ribeye for a $30 charge (normally $85 on the dinner menu), topped with truffle butter for an additional $9. I also ordered a side of potato au gratin, which isn't on the HRW menu, but I love potatoes and wanted something to eat with the steak. The ribeye was cooked to perfection with a really nice char. Third course was dessert. I went with the New York cheesecake with compressed graham cracker. The cheesecake itself was good, though I thought the graham cracker could have been a little crunchier. Overall, a great evening! I was impressed.
