We had an excellent lunch experience, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Raymundo. From the moment we were seated, he was friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. He made sure our drinks stayed filled, checked on us regularly, and provided great recommendations from the menu. Raymundo's positive attitude and genuine care for his guests really stood out. He made us feel welcome and valued throughout our meal. It's rare to find someone who combines efficiency, knowledge, and outstanding customer service so effortlessly. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at The Butcher's Grille this evening filled with delicious chicken, juicy steaks, and tasty desserts. The restaurant was modern, bright and tastefully decorated. Our table for 8 was ready according to our reservation and the waiter was very friendly and thoughtful. We started with the Dynamite Shrimp, Lentil soup, and Chicken Shawarma Egg Rolls for our appetizers. We loved the shrimp but the shawarma was more dark meat and not what we expected though it was fine. The lentil soup was excellent. Our entrees included the ribeye steak, the butcher board with ribeye, the creamy chicken freekah, and the double skewer plate. The beef was cooked to perfection whether we ordered medium, medium-well, or well done. The girls loved the creamy chicken and the rice on the skewer plate was aromatic and delicious. Our desserts were the knafa with ice cream and carrot cake. Both were shareable so we all got a taste. Everything was great and I highly recommend it for a high-end halal meal that includes both Middle Eastern and American cuisine. read more

We ordered: Beef shawarma egg rolls: great appetizer! Nice and crispy Double skewer plate: the meat was juicy and seasoned right Butchers burger with truffle fries: great solid burger and the truffle fries were wonderful Mashed potatoes with mushrooms: good and creamy The food could have been warmer but it tasted great and I would come back. Our waiter was wonderful!! She was so sweet. Nicely decorated restaurant but it was very warm when we went. I saw one of the staff members looking at the ac. When we asked management if the ac was working he told us yes, it's warm because the doors keep opening. If that's the case they should definitely lower the temp of the ac because it made our dinner harder to enjoy because it was uncomfortable. read more

I came here for a bday dinner and it didn't disappoint. The interior is very clean and classy, and the staff is super friendly. They have a variety of dishes ranging from comfort foods such as burgers, wraps and fries to exquisite main courses such as kabob platters, steaks, fish and many more. It's the perfect middle eastern spot that isn't too pricey but also has a nice elegant vibe. The chicken shawarma I got was very delicious, they were generous with the amount of chicken inside the wrap and they seasoned it very well. The hummus tasted fresh (my only suggestion is to add more garlic and olive oil) and the chicken freekeh dish was delicious as well. The mint lemonade and the passion fruit mango smoothie was refreshing. The chocolate cake was also very rich and delicious. I'm overall satisfied with my experience here and can't wait to come back and try the other dishes. read more

We loved everything about The Butcher's Grille -- the food, ambiance, and service were all fantastic! Mansour was our waiter and made the experience even better. He gave us great recommendations throughout the meal and provided wonderful, attentive service. Our favorites were the halloumi, spicy potatoes, and beef kafta pita -- everything was absolutely delicious. Garden Whisper was light refreshing and perfect in this Houston heat. We'll definitely be back! read more

Let me start by saying I was with a party of 4...and our bill had a 18% tip included. The food, service, and ambiance could be great however, forcing a tip left me with a bad taste. I would think a group of 6 or more would make more sense. Anyways... Food: - had multiple small plates and the kabab platter. Sides were okay. Nothing incredible. The pita bread is clearly store bought. I didn't think anything was memorable. Houston has SO much good Mediterranean food and sadly this doesn't make the cut. - meat was tender and tasty however, the kababs were literally the size of chick fil a nuggets. If they pride themselves in their meats, they should probably make sure that is 100/10. - knafeh with ice cream was a disgrace to knafeh and sadly a disservice to Lebanese food. It was a buttery and mushy topped with average ice cream. Knafeh is supposed to have a crisp exterior with a cheese pull interior. This tasted like a soft sponge soaked with an exorbitant amount of butter. Service: - our waiter was sweet and available and the manager (?) came to our table multiple times to check in on us. Water glasses were always full. Service was great, however I would've gladly given 20% tip. Just don't force me to do it--it's not a good look. Ambiance: beautiful interior with classy plates and silverware Would I come back? To be honest, no. It wasn't anything memorable. I wish them the best but there are so many other amazing Mediterranean food places in the city that I'd rather go to. read more

I found myself at The Butcher's Grille for a business lunch. It's located off San Felipe near Chimney Rock (walking distance from the Einstein Bagel center and across the street from Mod Pizza). The parking situation is interesting - it feels like you're entering the parking garage for an apartment complex, and the first two floors are free parking for retail. Parking was certainly not empty as it was for lunch on a Friday, but I lucked out and found a spot on the first floor fairly easily. The walk from the garage to the restaurant is only like 20 feet and once you walk in, you'll be impressed with the ambiance and decor. The service was also spot on - our waiter was training another waiter, and between the two, they were great. An excellent example of Lebanese hospitality (that's what the restaurant is supposed to represent, according to their bio.). Anyhow my party had a reservation and we were seated quickly. We ordered a mix of appetizers, salads, and sandwiches. Here's the breakdown: - Dynamite shrimp: tasty but very small portions for the price. - Baba Ghanouj: quite flavorful! I would get that again. - Fattoush salad: I think it was my favorite! Nice flavors and great texture. A bit small for the price. - Truffle fries: I appreciated the generous portions but the dish came out a bit cold and I wasn't expecting the nacho cheese topping (not my favorite mix of flavors). - Honey buttermilk chicken sandwich: solid effort but not served piping hot and not as good overall as I expected. Overall, it was a great dining experience and definitely recommend you give it a try. It's an excellent option for date night or business meal. It's quite classy! read more

Had a great experience at The Butcher's Grille and I will be returning. This location is where the old Dish Society used to be. Great and beautiful space. Walking in I felt like I was in Lebanon. Beautiful decor, and ambiance was so amazing. I loved every bit of it. The staff was all so attentive and hospitable, they welcomed us with open arms as soon as we walked inside. Let's get to the important stuff here is what we ordered- 1- Frozen Mint Lemonade. So freaking delicious. I usually drink so slow but I chugged my drink because it was that good. 2- Fatoush Salad- delicious and my favorite salad I have had. The hints of pomegranate, the light dressing. Omg I still think about this salad it's so good. 3- Dynamite Shrimp- delicious and a good appetizer option. Loved the presentation of how it was served. 4- Truffle and Co loaded fries. These were so different and good. The waiter recommended these and they did not disappoint. There was a mistake and we were brought out the holy chicken fries out first. Omg those were also freaking delicious. 5- Ribeye steak- this was good. Not the best steak I have had but it was really yummy just a bit chewy for my liking. It came with mashed potatoes which were delicious and so creamy. All in all this was such a great restaurant. Houston def was needing this. I'm so happy we tried it and I can't recommend it enough. I will be returning! read more

Never been here before, and we don't ever go out for Lebanese food, but this place was great. We got the creamy crab rounds as an appetizer, and they were so yummy. The sauce was the sweet and sour sauce you get at Asian restaurants, and was a little too strong for me, but the filling was such a nice texture. Definitely the best item we got. The double skewer plate was also really good. We got the beef kafta and the Lebanese sausage. The onions were really nice and sweet, and the grilled tomato was delicious. The pepper was super duper spicy, so beware of that when you're eating it. They also had this like yogurt butter on the side, which really helped with the spice and it gave an extra lemony and acidic profile to the dish. The pita was good but not my favorite just because the pickled cabbage and acidic components overtook the dish. The meat also could've been softer, but overall an amazing meal. They've been open for 1 year this month, and the ambiance was 12/10. Loved the plates, the lighting inside, the windows, everything about the aesthetic was superior. Also the service was 12/10, and I haven't been this well taken care of by restaurant staff in a long time! I'd definitely come back. read more

Everything about this experience was top-tier. The service was amazing. The food was outstanding. The crab puffs absolutely delicious a full of meat so good sometimes you get them and it's more cream cheese than anything but this had a great portion of crab in every bite. it was definitely worth it. The butcher board with the ribeye was cooked to perfection. The lamb chop was absolutely delicious with the chimichurri sauce, we didn't have anything that we didn't like. Everything was a great we gave it a 10 out of 10 for sure. The cookie at the end was the perfect end to a great dining experience. The environment was stunning whether you're going to have dinner with your girls or you're on an intimate date. It was definitely a beautiful atmosphere. It just felt welcoming. It felt perfect. Important to know that there is no alcohol on the menu which I might add is also a really nice touch. read more

Visited this place for the first time for my father in law's birthday dinner. Amazing ambiance - very aesthetic and is located in a nice area and has an outdoor area with seats and a fountain around as well. Service was perfect the waiter was super attentive and friendly. The food was great with great prices! Here's what we ordered: For the appetizers, we ordered lentil soup, chicken lemon rice soup, tabbouleh salad, and dynamite shrimp. The soup is good serving for 1 person, loved the lentil soup! The chicken lemon rice was okay. Love tabbouleh salad and it did justice here too. Dynamite shrimp was a treat! For the entrees, we ordered beef kefta pita, chicken taowuk pita, Lebanese burger and the hot n spicy chicken sandwich. We also ordered some truffle fries they were delicious! The burgers come with a serving of French fries. Both the sandwich and Lebanese burger were really good! The beef kefta pita was okay, there was a lot of sauce. The chicken taowuk pita was good I wish there was no coleslaw in it as it doesn't traditionally have that nor ketchup. But overall we had a great time and we were also given a good big piece of chocolate cake as a birthday complimentary treat to celebrate by the end of the dinner. I would definitely go again and try their steak or grill plates. There are two entrances of the parking space when you enter. No fees! read more

Amazing food service and ambiance. What more could you ask for. We came for lunch. Sat outside in the courtyard. Perfect vibes for a date. Our waiter Ray was phenomenal. Made great food and drink recommendation. Place is halal so no alcohol - definitely respect that. My favorite was the halloumi cheese w honey - it was fire. And hummus was great as well. My fattoush salad was excellent as well. Spicy potatoes were okay (husband loved it) garlic was a little too strong and not as crispy as I would have wanted it. Husband did love his chicken sandwhich. Just know it's huge and you get really full with it. Would come again for sure. read more

New spot in the old Dish Society space. The inside is completely redone and has an upscale vibe. Non alcohol establishment. Service hit and miss. Food was mostly just ok. All meats were a bit over the doneness we asked for. Good: Walnut Shrimp was tasty and the apple added nice brightness. Fattoush salad had a sweet/tart dressing and pomegranate seeds. Lamb chops had great flavor and even though they were medium and not medium rare (what we requested) they were still tender. Carrot cake was not too sweet and the icing was surprisingly light. No so good: Garden Whisperer mocktail was bland. Falafel was hard and dense. Creamy crab rounds - besides the name we wouldn't know there was crab involved. Good flavors on the Grand skewer plate but the chicken tawook was tender but mushy(?) and the other skewers over temp. Overall the place is fine but unless I lived in the apartments above I probably wouldn't make the trip back. read more

When considering all the halal options you have in Houston, you have to consider The Butcher's Grille. They're doing something brand new, and the execution is really well done. For starters, the food was great! The decor and ambiance is amazing, but let's talk about the service; top notch. We came an hour before closing (I know, sorry) and they treated us so well. They constantly refilled our water glasses, gave us great recommendations, and were very accommodating to our entire family. This place is doing something no other halal restaurants in Houston are doing; they've created a refined and elegant experience that leaves you wanting to come back for more. Bravo! read more

An export from Dearborn, that I've been hearing raves about, was so excited to try! I didn't realize that it was a part of an apartment complex, so parking is within an apartment complex garage. The first two floors are dedicated to retail parking, and once I found the place, parking was ample! This place is described as refined- yet casual, and I'd have to agree. The menu is vast, with steaks, burgers, loaded fries, and your typical Mediterranean options such as hummus, baba ganouj, and Kibbeh. They also have mocktails- we tasted the rose water spritz, and sunset mimosa. My friend found her spritz to be refreshing but my mimosa was just ok. My friend loved her steak, and said the medium rare was cooked to perfection. She loved the sauce that came with it. I equally loved my burger. It had an onion ring and bacon (beef) that added such great texture and crisp to the burger. It was all perfectly seasoned and mouthwatering to think about now. I could easily see myself visiting again, and I really want to try their loaded fries and hot chicken sandwich next time. I will say my burger took awhile coming out, and my side was then cold. My companion also didn't dig in waiting for my food so her food was cold- this was unfortunate. The place is new, so I do think this is growing pains and worth forgiving given how good everything was. Lastly, I've visited both Egypt and Morocco, and this places interior reminded me of both of those places. Very clean lines, symmetry, and great lighting. read more

With the tall ceilings, blue leather booths, cute light fixtures, and decorative wall details, the space is modern, clean, elegant, minimalist, and new. On a Monday afternoon around 12:30 we were the second table that arrived during lunchtime. I really liked that the restaurant was quiet and peaceful but on the flipside I thought "It's not a good sign for a restaurant to not be busy during lunchtime." They pride themselves on making many things in house from scratch. The hummus was beautifully presented in a blue bowl with a little moat of olive oil with micro greens and garbanzo for garnish. Despite the beautiful presentation, I didn't care for the flavor of the olive oil. The pita bread that was served with the hummus fresh yet the pita temperature was lukewarm, and I would've preferred it to be genuinely warm. I had the chicken Shawarma pita which had garlic sauce, chicken, pickle, french fries, but it was missing freshness elements like onions, lettuce, tomatoes, to give contrast the inside of my pita was brown because most of the ingredients had no color. This also meant the flavor was somewhat monotonous. I don't think their chicken Shawarma was seasoned that well, and the garlic flavor of the garlic sauce wasn't strong enough to add some flavor contrast. My mother had the grilled chicken plate. There were nice grill marks on the chicken. Their rice was delicious beautiful grains very well seasoned; you could definitely see that they had used chicken broth as part of seasoning the rice, which made it lovely. The chicken itself didn't have such a pronounced seasoning or that much salt and there was no salt shakers on the table, so it was just a touch underwhelming. My mother had the mint lemonade, which was absolutely perfectly chilled and refreshing. I had the strawberry lemonade, which was pleasant. It almost felt like a slushy because the ice was so finely smooth. Our meal was about $30 to $40 per person and at that price point my expectations are that the flavors of each of the elements should be incredible, because it's not a $10 entree. When I look at the price and the flavor of the food regrettably, there's a gap. I have no problems paying for expensive delicious food, but it lands as just higher price points with underwhelming flavors. Would I recommend it? No. Would I come back? No. It's a shame because when I read their website, I was super excited about this dining experience but the gap between the menu and the actual food flavor is disappointing. read more

The Butcher's Grille - Chicken Sharma pita, mashed potatoes and fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love the ambiance, style, and location. It's a very outings style restaurant, makes you want to dress nice, and it's very reasonably priced for what it is. I tried the crab balls and Reuben egg roll for appetizers. Reuben egg rolls were awesome, and the dipping sauce with it was great so definitely recommend. The crab balls weren't too special for me, but it wasn't bad either. For entree, I got the butchers burger, which was cooked well and came with a very generous amount of fries, but for me it was too salty because the burger was seasoned heavily and it also had beef bacon, and that combo needs something like avocado or something to reduce the salt (or just less seasoned burgers). Also, for the way everything is presented... I expect something other than ketchup to come with my fries (like that egg roll dip?). Service was friendly, but it does take a while! Water was also hard to come by and we had to order ice with it every time. Overall, definitely would come back, definitely recommend to try, but there are still a couple things to perfect. read more

We stumbled on this gem. The food was PHENOMENAL. We mostly stuck to appetizers, truthfully because they were on the first page and just sounded so good. Our server, Mansour was very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. He suggested items as we asked questions. We had the beef shawarma egg rolls, crab rounds, spicy potatoes, walnut shrimp, halloumi sticks, and grape leaves. I highly recommend. read more

The Butcher's Grille - Crispy Halloumi Sticks (4pc) and walnut shrimp - Middle Eastern Near Me - Houston, Texas

The experience started off interesting as I made a reservation at 7pm and they couldn't find my reservation. Even after showing my reservation confirmation, they were quite confused but still placed my party at a table! I enjoyed the restaurant and entrees, everything was tasteful and aromatic. The kabobs in the mixed grill platter were quite small but they had a nice char and were tender. The halloumi sticks were really expensive $13 for 4 sticks and it was even more than the felafel wrap entree. It was busy the time we went and the waitress took a very long time +30 min to tend to us and get our checks. The firealarm went off for a few minutes. Overall an okay experince! read more

Came here with friends for dinner and we had a great time. Appetizer favorites were the walnut shrimp (tasty twist on an asian dish) and the fattoush salad (pomegranate was a nice refreshing touch). Falafel was rather dense and dry. Crab cheese rounds were lacking in crab flavor. The burger was so so. The skewers were nicely seasoned. The lamb chops were delightfully tender. Carrot cake was tasty and not too heavy. read more

Loooooove this place! Out with the old and in with the new! Everything is great--upscale ambiance, but down-to-earth vibe (people wearing jeans, Nikes, etc), friendly, professional service, excellent dishes (all of them!), decent prices. We had several items such as the egg rolls, tabouli, hummus, and mixed grilled kebabs with rice. We also had some of their non-alcoholic beverages (they do not serve alcohol--I see this as a plus, personally), and their knafeh dessert, which was probably the best we've ever had. It was all so very excellent, well-deserving of 5 stars because it reminded us of Michigan, but better in every way! read more

This was such a delight! I came out tonight with my family for dinner and the food was excellent! We ordered a dynamite loaded fries for the table which we gobbled down, and I ordered the filet mignon. I was a fan of the steak and asparagus, but an even bigger fan of the mashed potatoes! The gravy really knocked it out of the park! 9/10! Not pictured: sweet kale salad (6.5/10- it was fine but it came with goat cheese which I'm not a fan of), a classic cheeseburger (7/10- my brother thought it was alright) and a grand platter (8.5/10- my parents ordered this, they were happy with it.) One thing that could improve is the service. I understand that there are big parties that need more attention than smaller groups but we were waiting for a very long time. Especially since we were in on a weeknight, we expected the service to be a bit faster. Nevertheless I think as long as that's taken care of, we will likely return! read more

The atmosphere is very nice and the establishment is very clean. I like that the tables and chairs are comfortable and go very well with the floors. I appreciate that the tables and floors are not sticky and kept clean. The service has been very efficient and friendly. The servers are dressed well in uniform. The cheque and to go boxes are branded. I like the presentation and effort that the butchers grille is putting into providing a good dining experience. I ordered the creamy chicken, the butchers board, and the beef shawarma egg rolls. The creamy chicken is miraculous! Chicken is cooked perfectly, it is moist, well balanced, the cranberry rice is also very delicious and flavorful, mushroom really did the trick! As long as that chicken is cooked the way that I got it, this will be a go to for me! I hate dry and overcooked chicken. The butchers board with rib eye, delicious. The green sauce is very flavorful and not too overwhelming. I asked for my steak medium and they delivered as ordered. The shoestring fries are a deal maker. The salad dressing is refreshing. A bit tangy and very well balanced with the other goodies on the board. The garlic bread is a must, if it was thinly sliced like crostini, it would be an easier grab and bite. Nonetheless amazing!!! The beef shawarma egg rolls were a slight miss because the beef was a little dry. Something more refreshing in them or over them like tabouli or cucumber yogurt dip would enhance it a bit. I felt like the cumin rub on the outside was a little strong. Maybe next time, I'll get the chicken option. read more

Stumbled across The Butcher's Grille on IG and the food just looked amazing! When I read the menu and there were a billion items I wanted to try, I made it a priority to come visit! I love that you can get full off a selection of mezze items! We ordered the hummus and baba ghannouj and they were both fantastic. I wish it came with the fluffy/soft hot pita but it came with thin pita that you can buy at the groceries. It wasn't my favorite but I suppose it works as a mode of transfer for said dip. The pita could utilize an upgrade, though the dips were good. The baba ghannouj is one of the best ones I've tasted in a long time! It was smokey and chunky but creamy at the same time. Topped with pomegranates, it had amazing flavors. I enjoyed it a lot and actually prefer it over the hummus. The grape leaves were citrusy and good. The Mac and cheese balls were alright. I enjoyed it with the tomato sauce it was served on but it wasn't my favorite. The fried halloumi was yum! Battered, fried and topped with honey?! We loved it! The dessert though might've been the most unique dish we had in the meal.. a sweet and savory mix with cheese served hot! Fantastic! The restaurant is halal and does not serve alcohol. It's under an apartment complex so plenty of parking in the lot! The decor was bright and super modern and green! We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely pop back in if in the area! read more

We went yesterday Father's Day, for first time. Parking was a breeze. Free covered parking next to the entrance. Got seated right away. Was told they do not have any alcohol beverage, which is fine, since I do not drink any alcohol. We ordered great & reasonable price food. Server was excellent. He keep checking by and answered all our question and was so polite. Food came out fast & tasted great. We could not eat all the food that we were served. Asked for takeout box. Server asked if he could take the food and place it in takeout containers, which included a sack to put it in. read more

We live in Dallas and spending a few days here in Houston. Myself, my wife s d our two kids had dinner at this restaurant, and they exceeded our expectations by far. The restaurant is very clean, the seats are comfortable, the music is great. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the family feast plate because it comes with 10 skewers of protein and you can choose what type of protein, plus it comes with rice, grilled tomato and onion. Also we ordered Tabouleh and hummus and babaghanouj. The meat was tender, the food had right seasoning and most importantly the Tabouleh had the exact amount of oil and lemon. Service: Nikki was our waitress. Let me tell you, she was beyond attentive. We didn't have to even ask for anything. Every time one of us is about to run out of soda, you will see her coming with a refill. Not enough words to describe how good Mikki is. I highly and I mean very highly recommend this restaurant because you will have excellent experience in every category. We will definitely visit this every time we come to Houston. read more

I decided to celebrate my birthday dinner here on a rainy Saturday evening after browsing online and hearing rave reviews about the place and getting excited over the menu. Walking in, the ambience did not disappoint. It looked cozy from the outside, and walking in the gentle lighting along with the beautifully decorated restaurant, I was excited for a lovely time. Unfortunately, it was not a lovely time. The negative review has everything to do with the service, and not the delicious food. We were seated fairly quickly, but once the host handed us our menu, no one acknowledged us for the next 15 minutes, not even to offer us waters. The awkward part was many waiters passed our tables to other groups, some even made eye contact with us, but none offered assistance or even assured us someone is coming. We had to flag down someone bussing to ask if we can get help. When the manager came, not even a hello how are you guys, or offer of drinks, but just a straight "so what can I get you?" The interaction definitely could've been warmer. But we placed all our orders, from appetizers to entrees, then finished with can we just have some waters, which he finally acknowledged that he was just about to ask. Our waiter finally came and repeated our orders, and he halfheartedly said sorry about the wait before rushing to another table. The rest of the dinner felt as great as that intro, we just felt rushed and not that we weren't welcomed, just that we weren't prioritized. Our waiter kept stopping by to ask how our food was, but we barely had time to respond before he moved onto his bigger table. We ordered the Mac and cheese balls and falafels for appetizers, I ordered the rib eye butchers board and hubby got the lamb chops. Perfectly seasoned and super tender meats. There were absolutely no leftovers. The food was excellent, easily a 10/10 on all dishes. That's why it is so disappointing to not have the service complement the exceptional food for a 5 star experience. I get it, we're a small group vs. bigger groups being served. But if we were assured we were going to be taken care of, then absolutely we would've been happy to wait for good food. I was excited to try a birthday dessert, but I didn't even want to see the menu by then because I just wanted to leave. It definitely soured the night in that moment. And it's so disappointing, I really wanted to like this place because the food is an excellent, even amazing experience. But service can make or break that experience, just like it did here. read more
