Second time here and we tried something completely different. The food was equally good if not better. Perfect atmosphere for outside dining on a breezy day. Service was good and appreciated! Good happy hour menu! But a little pricey, especially when you order a few old fashioned and multiple apps and entrees...lol! Try the Brussels sprouts. They look ugly but taste great! read more

One of the restaurants we always have in rotation. They changed the menu a while ago, which is why I took off one star. The staff is always friendly, the regular dishes we order are great, and they are always willing to make accommodations if they can for special dietary needs. A wonderful local business in the Bellaire area! read more

Food here is amazing! Service is always good and they have a kids entertainment room so good place for families. The inside gets really noisy, so much so that you almost have to yell over dinner, but the outside is nice if it's not too hot out. The frozen mule is my favorite drink, plus it's strong! read more

We had a great weekend brunch with kids at The '401. Great brunch + kids don't usually go together, but The '401 has this awesome kids' playroom with books, games, and a TV with cartoons, and our kids were so happy to enjoy that kids' playroom while we waited for food, etc. The food and service were good too--I liked my chicken and waffles, and others in our group seemed to like the brunch menu as well. The food wasn't fancy but was tasty. Overall, a great lunch with kids spot. read more

Food was perfect the grilled vegetables would have been a meal by itself they were perfectly done and spiced just right. I felt service was somewhat lacking, he never checked to make sure food was okay or if I wanted another drink. Had to ask for a doggy bag. read more

The '401 - The beef and chicken kabobs with mixed grilled vegetables - American Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

The food here was definitely a nine out of 10. I got the Gyro and I absolutely loved it. I was really shocked by the taste. I'm from Chicago and gyros are something that we don't play about! Well done, chef! My son got a pizza and it was also pretty good. The ambience to me is very beautiful, very calming , very relaxing. They also have a Wrong that is particularly for kids so they can go in there to socialize with each other while you're at the dinner table maybe talking in a meeting or just having some alone time with your partner. I think that was like the highlight of the night. read more

I've come here a few times and the service can be a hit or a miss. Everyone is always friendly, but it takes them a while to come check on you. With that being said, the food is always delicious. They also serve some pretty good drinks too. They have a nice variety of options on their menu. My favorites would be the beef tenderloin fajita salad and the parmesan crusted rainbow trout. The brussel sprouts they have are sooo amazing. Their pizza is also good option. I like that they have cauliflower crust available although I haven't tried it yet, but I will soon. The restaurant has a nice vibe with a bar and a patio. It's a nice place to come for a casual dinner. read more

The '401 - American Near Me - Bellaire, Texas

This is a lovely neighborhood restaurant with a cute outdoor dining space. It's located right off Bellaire Blvd but in a hidden corner, it's private and quiet. For the appetizer, we had to get the infamous fire roasted brussel sprouts, it is as good as expected. You won't be disappointed. If you are in the mood for pizza, try something unique-their Shrimp Mango Pizza, with pesto sauce. It is so refreshing and delicious, crust is baked to perfection, light and thin. You can't go wrong with their OG burger, the meat patty is big and juicy. Most importantly, my partner couldn't stop raving about their fries that come with the burger, which are mixed with their special seasoning (I think it's Cajun?!), they are so good! It did take a while to get the food, but the atmosphere is so lovely, we really didn't mind. read more

Fun spot with great food! Casual Place but has a really fun vibe! Large bar area with lots of TVs. Good cocktail and wine lists. Cute area called "No Majors" for the kids which has a door so everyone isn't listening to yelling kids. Service was great and food was very good! Make sure you check out the specials menu! read more

Fantastic in every way!!! The food is outstanding, Baja Chicken Wrap is my favorite. Our crab cake appetizer was so delicious too!!! The service is fast the ambience is cozy. We give The 401 a 5-Star review! We'll be back and we live in Clear Lake City, 35 minutes away. Awesome restaurant! Next time I'll add pictures, we ate everything to quickly! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this place. The food was excellent and the service was efficient and friendly. I had the chicken pot pie in the cast iron plate. It was stuffed full of chicken and vegetables with just the right amount of broth. It was not wet and the crust was cooked perfectly. The side salad was good too. I really liked the vinaigrette dressing. My friend had the lemon pasta with chicken which she liked quite a lot and we shared the warm bread pudding. Enjoyed it as well. I especially liked that the prices are reasonable here. It is hard to find entrees under $25 anywhere anymore but there are lots of choices at this place. The space is bright and warm. I will go back again. read more

First time here. Very cute and chill decor. Loved that they have all the Bellaire HS yearbooks, I was able to find mine (c/o 2004). The staff were very friendly. The food was great, they have a little bit of everything for different tastes. Definitely coming back. I loved the kids room, they have an area for them which is cool for the little ones. read more

Enjoyed my recent trip to The '401. Great to see a laid back, neighborhood establishment in the area, featuring a menu with great variety. We tried the Baked Goat Cheese and Fire-Roasted Brussel Sprouts for apps. Both were dependable. For an entree, I really enjoyed the Steak Sandwich -- fresh veggies and a great sauce on the steak. Outside of the food, the experience was a bit lacking. The restaurant was out of all burgers, then ran out of fries right after we received our food. Our server was extremely well meaning, but seemed to be balancing a lot of responsiblities, so it took a while to place orders and get plates to share the apps. We might have dropped by on a busy evening so this wouldn't hold me back from visiting another time. If I lived in Bellaire, I think I'd come here all the time as the neighborhood watering hole / "I'm too tired to cook tonight" spot. Living 15 minutes away, I'd definitely check back in next time I'm in the area, but might not go out of the way for it. read more

The '401 is a refreshing breath of air in an area that has been around for a long time. I really welcome new and updated business to spruce up the environment. The faculty itself is pretty unique in where it shows itself as a brunch/lunch spot, but also a sports bar, lounger area too. Quite unique. We met for lunch and the menu provided more "modern" dishes such as power bowls and wedge salads to bistro burgers and artisan sandwiches. Food wise tastes good, nothing to spectacular. Pricing remains on the steep side of things. However, with how the food industry is going, pricing seems to be on par with everywhere else. ~$20 for an above average lunch. I love how they have a small area for kids to watch a movie or play games on ipads. It gives it a very "homey" feeeling. The '401 is a pretty good local brunch/lunch spot. Next time im around, I will have to try the brunch fares, which is only on the weekends. read more

This is a nice spot that I presume is busy during brunch. We visited on Sunday afternoon and it was very quiet but the service was great. I ordered a salad and the black bean soup. The soup was incredibly flavorful and I was not disappointed. Crab cakes were a great starter. The fish was incredibly large portion. My husband wasn't entirely impressed with his gyro. Several fries were left untouched. This is a place I'd return. The decor is pleasing and not overwhelming and they do have tv screens if you want to catch a game. read more

This place is a little hidden gem in the heart of Bellaire that I feel doesn't get enough credit for what it is. I've only ever been here for lunch, and I'm so glad the locals know it's value and worth. This place can get pretty packed for lunch, even during the weekdays. The menu features some pretty standard staple items for lunch with offerings from burgers, soups and salads, to pizzas, and even items with a Mediterranean flair. I would wager that everyone in your party would find something to their liking. The portion sizes are decent and the pricing is appropriate. I got the Chicken Fried Chicken which was pretty good. Everything was seasoned well and tasted great. Their entrée salads and salad bowls looked pretty awesome as well - filling, nutritious, and still light. I love that this place actually has a little play area for the kids as well. The parking is relatively ample, but again, this place can fill up pretty quickly, so I would go earlier rather than later. It is also nestled behind a shopping strip, so it's not quite easily seen from the main street, but I assure you that it's there. The service is good and there's not much that takes away from this great place. read more

I came to The 401 expecting nothing less than greatness, and let me tell you... it almost delivered. I shared a salad because, obviously, portion control (I have to save room for my daily iced coffee ritual), and indulged in the spinach and artichoke dip because I'm worth it. The dip was creamy, cheesy, and honestly, could have been my main meal if I weren't such a lady. But here's where we lost a star: the lighting. Was it a restaurant or an interrogation room? I felt like I was on trial for my appetizer choices. Also, the server was too nice. Like, suspiciously nice. What do they want from me? A five-star review? I don't give those out like free samples at Costco. Will I be back? Probably. But only if they dim the lights and give me a loyalty discount for my future expert food critiques read more

I don't know what I was expecting, I searched mimosas and outdoors; yes outdoors. I set outside on the patio, immediately someone brought water. I asked for recommendations on a few different options and ended up with Beef Tenderloin sandwich with fries and a flight mimosa (pineapple, strawberry and orange juice). The juice is freshly squeezed. Great choice!!! The sandwich hit the spot. Flavorful just the right amount of everything and the fries.... The FRIES.... Amazing. Im a fry person and its not normal for me to like the fries but I loved them. This place isn't far from me, the prices are reasonable, they have free parking, the food and service was good. Yes ai will definitely be back. read more

I was craving spinach dip and decided to try The 401 as they were the closest restaurant to me that served it. I went on Friday at around noon and it was nearly a full house but I was seated instantly. Due to the number of people, I didn't take pictures of the interior but I liked the aesthetic. It felt like a mix between "Industrial warehouse" with its exposed beams, metal and wood furniture, and brick wall and "farm to table" with its sporadically placed greenery and mason jar table settings. The spinach dip came with pico and tzatziki sauce. It was good but I needed to add salt and pepper to taste for it to reach its full potential. It was $14 which seems a bit pricey but you get a lot (I was eating alone so it may not seem that way if you're ordering for a group). For my entree, I got the Brussel sprout and goat cheese salad. I must say there were several menu items I wanted to try so this was difficult to pick. The salad came with fried goat cheese, roasted and glazed Brussel sprouts, and a salad mix. It was tasty. Sweet and a bit nutty. It was tasty and filling. I don't regret the decision at all. Overall, I enjoyed The '401and was impressed with there menu. It had several vegetarian and gluten free options and even had some tasty dessert items that I plan to try during my next visit. read more

For a neighborhood restaurant, the '401 is an easy choice if you just don't feel like going "inside the loop" for a meal. The menu is interesting, with a selection of staple items from Greek, TexMex, and American menus. Yet somehow the choices feel boring, especially for brunch. My crab cale benedict was fine, as was my waffle. But with Dandelion Cafe just across the street, it's hard to imagine wanting to go back to '401 for a "it's fine" brunch experience. I've had their pizzas for lunch though, which are probably the most enjoyable and interesting offerings on the menu. The '401 is a great choice if you're a Bellaire/Meyerland local, have family in town, but Houston highways terrify them. Or maybe they're not adventurous eaters and want comfort food. Otherwise, spend the gas money on a more interesting food experience. read more

Delicious lunch with family. Server, Suzette (see photo), was delightfully friendly, very accommodating, and attentive. Wonderful server, that made a very good meal even better. I had the Cuban black bean soup, which had firm, tasty black beans, a bit of feta, and some pico. Excellent dish and nice size portion. I then had the Greek omelet -- three eggs, spinach, feta, and tomatoes. Healthy and delicious, with fresh tasting ingredients. Good coffee too. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Salmon bowl looked great btw. Comfortable, nicely furnished venue. Reasonable prices in my opinion. read more

I'm so happy a friend suggested we meet for brunch here! '401 has different choices, great drinks and impeccable service. To start we ordered the Fire Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Soo good! A bit crispy on the outside and absolutely delicious. I became a fan of Brussels sprouts after eating them. I ordered a frozen strawberry margarita and she ordered a Kettle '401 Mule which she really liked. The food was even better than I expected. My friend ordered the OG Burger which she said was made perfectly! I was in the mood for breakfast and ordered the Tex Mex Omelet. So good and they aren't skimpy on the beef tenderloin either! The potatoes and black beans were the perfect sides for the omelet and there was plenty of food. Great place for a weekend brunch but I wouldn't mind coming back for the regular menu as well. It looks like they even have specials on certain weekdays, so this might be the perfect place for happy hour! Great food, great drinks, and great customer service which means I'll be back! read more

Hidden on a little side street in Bellaire TX, at first I thought "Meh, this will be some trendy little place the Bellairites come to cause they don't want to go to City Center, River Oaks, or the Village." Proverbial foot. In. Mouth. So. You go to a pizza joint. You order pizza and wings. Right? Damn right!!!! Not ordering either of these is like going to the hospital to get your cell phone repaired. It is just idiotic. The wife is gluten free which means so shall I be (heh...rhymed) when we dine out. The truffle mushroom pizza is to die for. You CANNOT go wrong with this. And it is not insipid with truffle. It is kissed with just the right amount as to not be annoying. OK so I did get the wings as mentioned before (NOT GF) but were still awesome. Also, try the caramelized onion dip. Yes it is VERY onion-y...but it is also very delicious-y. The staff were SUPER nice and accommodating even during the 'Rona. You could tell everyone was smiling behind their mask and very friendly. Good food? Check. Good service? Check. Close to home? Check. Rock solid 5 stars. read more

This place was recommended to me so my boyfriend and I decided to try it. We went here to watch the Astros World Series game. The restaurant has a very mixed atmosphere you could show up in leggings and t- shirt or nice jeans and dress shirt. In terms of game day the only TVs they have are the ones that are at the bar, it's an open floor plan between the bar and dining area but I just do not think it's the best place for game day especially college football. For appetizers we decided on the goat cheese and it was to die for. The bacon jam is unreal and I loved the walnut apricot spread. For main dishes we had the Rainbow Trout, which the Parmesan crust was amazing. We also had the Sun-Dried Tomato Lemon Pasta which we thought was a little too citrusy, it was ok. The menu is super diverse (Mediterranean, Italian, etc.) and I like how many options they had to choice from. Overall, we will definitely be back to try something different on the menu! Side note: I noticed a child center in restaurant with an adult present at all time. This place may be perfect for a parents nice out. read more

So I can't really comment on the dine in experience or much about the menu in general. However, I've had the vegan bowl from this restaurant with chicken to go and it was delicious. You can tell the restaurant uses fresh ingredients cause I literally tasted the love on the first bite. The bowl is loaded with roasted Brussels sprouts, rice, black beans, lentils, guacamole, roasted butternut squash, etc. the portion size is large. The plate is packed with flavor that is out of this world. I added grilled chicken however you can go meatless or even add salmon. The greeter who brought the order out was super sweet. The food is a bit pricey compared to the everyday chipotle bowl, but it was worth it. I would definitely recommend that anyone going sign up for the rewards program. read more
