    This is located next to the Popeyes and in the juicy crab. Parking is plentiful and there is no charge. The waitress was very nice and the happy hour was great. The service was slow and the AC was not working, which left not only us but the waitresses sweating also. This made for a poor experience and I didn't want to really move a lot because I didn't want to get musty. Visit at your own risk.

    The unfriendly waitress

    Terrible restaurant from the staff to the food. The waitresses were extremely rude and kept having an attitude when we wanted to order something. The manager wasn't any better, he was rude and didn't help at all. 1. All of the waitresses had bad attitudes 2. The waitress we were assigned kept adding items to our bill that we never ordered and we noticed that other tables had the same problem with her 3. She kept forgetting to put orders in 4. She kept being rude and aggressive when we asked for simple things like drinks 5. The other waitress wouldn't take orders because she was in the bathroom vaping 6. Our waitress also got upset when we asked the manager to take our order because no one could find her 7. The food was salty

    Half cut shrimp is pasta

    Please don't waste your time coming here!! I went last night the soda machine was out so all they could serve was canned coke or canned Sprite. My Cajun Pasta as you see I ordered with shrimp extra for $18 was worthless. As you see the shrimp the placed in my pasta were cut in pieces to make it seem like amount. Which I've never seen before !!! I got the wet garlic spicy wings as well but they definitely weren't garlic spicy flavor. It was more buffalo taste smh. They had ran out of flatbread so i couldn't get a Pizzia and had limited items on the menu. The drinks were watered down and tasted more like Koolaid. I couldn't taste any liquor. I definitely won't be back. I am all for supporting black business but this one will need a lot of revamping. They also add an automatic 20% gratuity to your bill so keep that in mind when coming because the servers don't tell you that when you pay.

    Salmon was so good!! Bartenders and service was excellent. I went on a wed night. Not many people there. The ambiance was good. I use to come here a lot before the new owners and change of venue. It's not my crowd but the service and food was excellent. I don't like that they demand a $75/hold on credit cards for tabs and also they auto grat by 20% every tab even if you're by yourself at the bar. I understand the need with the crowd but that sucks to have all of that demanded and automatic. Good food and service but not for me and won't be coming back myself.

    I was invited here as a first time visitor. There is ample parking outside and the inside is divided up into several sections. We set to the furthest left section after. The group there had a dj while the football game was on. The service was pretty good and drinks reasonably priced. I did get to try some of the food and the shrimp and fish plate was very good. After the game we went to the patio area where there is a covered and uncovered area both with several TVs. There is also an area next to the patio where there is a giant tv made up of several smaller TVs. I throughly enjoyed myself and I will return again to watch a game.

    This place works for me starting with a big hello after walking through the door by Foxy C. The Fox Trap is a very large venue that is perfect for large groups or a one on one with someone special. The walls are black and packed with televisions. The bar is huge and you'd be lucky to get Foxy C as your bartender, a skilled mixologist with a big personality. They also have excellent food to match the cocktails. I loved the lamb sliders which were cooked to perfection and surprisingly tender served with fries. I wish that I lived closer so I could make this place a regular just to check out the happy hour.

    New spot on Westheimer, Westchase area opened, August 2024. Popped in during happy hour. Food/Happy Hour: Drinks & appetizers are reduced prices for happy hour (HH) I got the trio trap appetizer which consists of 3 chicken wings (you pick flavor), 2 boudin egg rolls, & 2 sliders.( shrimp or chicken, grilled or fried) HH price was $15, regular price is $22. Additional slider protein options exist (lamb, salmon, chicken, turkey catfish) if you place just a slider order. Grilled shrimp slider option is different & they were tasty. 2 shrimp per slider. 2 boudin egg rolls and 3 chicken wings, spicy garlic, were both very good. The spicy garlic is flavorful with a hint of spiciness, not hot. Drinks: Drink menu had some different signature drinks that all sounded pretty tasty. Love the variety of options. I opted for a pineapple old fashion. It has bourbon & mezcal for a nice balanced drink. Just a tad sweet for me so I'd ask for little less sweet next time. Service: Service was great. The bartender, Foxy C. greeted us & all the customers upon entry. She made great drinks & had such a pleasant disposition. The background was nice R&B, just the right volume to enjoy yet be able to have conversation The place has 4 distinct eating/gathering areas plus the bar. They all flow into each other. 1 area has pool tables. 1 area has a stage. I visited on a weekday evening but the bartender says they sometimes have multiple DJs in the different sections to provide different music on the weekends. I will definitely return. I'll have to see what the weekend vibe is like!

    Westheimer has a new spot. Stopped in for brunch and some college football. They have plenty of parking and seating available. They had complimentary mimosas when you walked in. Nice decor and lots of space there are like 3 different rooms/spaces in here plus a patio. They offer hookah, brunch, full bar, and pool. The brunch was good, nice, crispy catfish seasoned well. If you're not a grits lover, this might not be for you. Grits to me was the star. You could oder them with catfish, shrimp, or lambchops. The French toast was nice and sweet served with a bourbon glaze, almost resembled dessert to me,it was very rich. I was surprised it wasn't too packed for a Saturday. I played a little pool with my friends and enjoyed 2 mimosa carafes. To me, the orange is the best. The pineapple and cranberry seemed to overpower the champagne they used. My only issue is for pool they hold your ID, and I left without getting it back after a few hours. i forgot about it, and so did the waitress. I went back Sunday to retrieve it, and it was chaos. I waited over 1 hour for my ID to be returned as there wasn't a designated place behind the bar. While I was waiting, 4 couples left due to waiting over 45 minutes to be sat. They seemed to be understaffed for brunch and football Sunday. This place has potential, but there are a few housekeeping things they need to get in order. I'd love to come back, but Sunday clearly is not the day for great service, so I'll stick to a weekday or Saturday when there is a smaller crowd that is manageable.

    We had to take our girlfriend to the IHA airport (Bush Airport) in Houston. We decided to try the restaurant that we saw on TikTok called THE FOX Trap restaurant. Huge inside with a full bar and plenty of televisions all over. For starters, we began by Popping Bottles (Champagne) with pineapple juice and orange juice; cause ' It's 5 o clock somewhere. Our server was La La and she was Amazing and so was the Chef along with the rest of the staff. All of the Food was Delicious...super delicious. Overall Experience, Superb...This place is Truly Awesome and they have billards, table tennis along with a Huge outdoor patio.

    After the inevitable confusion and 30+ min wait for a seat we left. I knew this wasn't going to be a fun time when I saw a line outside the bar at 3p on a Saturday. It's a (neighborhood) bar, not a club, not a concert venue. Every table was designated for reservations. Reservations get priority, yet no one answered when I called at 12:49p to make a reservation for 3p. No online reservation option available. I hate this club/restaurant fusion trend. Let clubs be clubs and (sports) bars be bars, if I go to Twin Peaks or YardHouse, I can just walk in and sit. It was just two of us, why can't we sit until the party who reserved gets here. There were open (empty) tables everywhere.

    beautiful !!!!! this place is amazing…read more check em out food and drinks are gr8 customer service 5 stars The Best Amazing love it Insanely beautiful thanks

    This review is specifically about there happy hour*…read more I came on a Friday afternoon with a colleague. This was my second time visiting. Parking- if you have the patience or the time, feel free to try your luck at street parking. But I valet for $10. But pretty sure the price increase at nighttime. Ambience- The decor is moody chic. There is a large patio, and bar seating. If you go for HH no need for resy. But if you come after they likely want a resy, or you have to wait depenon the night. There's a hostess stand of course as you walk in those large doors. The vibe seems more like a place you take on a first or second date. They have small tables scattered around the bar. Theres a dress code in the evening. Not a place to take a large group to socialize or meet other people for the first time. I think they try and make it lounge-like/party with a DJ at night too. Drinks- there menu for HH includes food and drinks from 4p to 7p. The server did recommend there flatbread, but we didn't eat. I started with The Kiss, there gin drink for $7 on HH. Then moved to The Fruit of the Earth also $7, which is smokey sweet, but then went back The Kiss. The 2nd Kiss, I had to pay regular price of $17 since it was after 7p. My colleague had the $5 Espresso Tini a few times during HH, which she liked. I think the HH drinks are smaller versions of there after 7p drinks, at least it seemed that way. Both the woman and eventually male server we had were both great, friendly service. Would I return? Only if another person I was meeting suggested it and really wanted to come.

The origami ceiling, lively bar, friendly staff, unique cocktails, fun bathroom, and photo booth in the corner made for an unforgettable experience. My friend said it was the busiest he had ever seen the place, and it was loud. But we got some awesome drinks that I swore I could've taken pics of -- the lighting was a little crazy, so I think I ultimately changed my mind with that. One was the periscope which was a refreshing and summery gin drink... And I think I tried the naked and famous too because I like mezcal. I had already eaten so I skipped the restaurant the speakeasy's connected to, but I cannot wait to return to Houston outside of a Con so I can really go all out on exploring. It was an amazing way to end my first night!

I ordered the Side to the Sun Rises (gin, yuzu, mint, cucumber) which was light, refreshing, and well balanced. I would recommend it if you enjoy gin-based cocktails with a slightly fruity flavor. My friends really enjoyed their drinks as well. They have all day happy hour on Sundays/Mondays. We did not get a chance to try the food, but the menu looked great. Overall, a fun spot with great vibes and definitely worth checking out!
