    Woodlands Salmon, asparagus and jalapeño bacon Mac and cheese
    April K.

    Another amazing dinner at my favorite restaurant! My Grey Goose martini with blue cheese stuffed olives was great. The Woodlands Salmon was cooked to perfection along with the asparagus (I saved the jalepeno bacon Mac for a later indulgence). The service was excellent. I can't say enough about the Republic Grill locations up here!

    Wedge Salad, very shareable and delicious
    Vik P.

    Yes yes yes! Only a few minor discrepancies for our visit. Smoked wings were just okay and service was a bit slow. Everything else was a hit from the kitchen & bar. Drinks - old fashioned had 2 and they tasted amazing, not too sweet and still taste the whiskey...it also did have me staying a little longer to allow the buzz to wear off. Food Wedge Salad - big enough for us 4 to share, loved it, not sure why so many restaurants don't serve this salad, one of my favorites and pretty simple. Gumbo - meaty and very good Smoked wings - lacked a little flavor Flounders were both great - prefer the blackened one, though it did come on the small side, you can't tell from under the seafood sauce. Sides enjoyed both green beans and mac.

    We were looking for somewhere to eat in the Spring area and we decided to check this restaurant out. The parking is free and the restaurant is nice. They have a patio area but it was too cold to eat outside. We came at a great time because we were seated immediately, without a reservation, and then it got crowded. The host was good and explained today's special to us before our waiter came. We started with the Chips & Queso with ground beef and it was AMAZING and had a nice kick to it! I had the Shrimp and Grits and added crawfish to it. It was too bland for my liking even after adding salt and pepper. My husband had the fish and chips and it was good. For dessert, we had the bread pudding and it was good. We tried two cocktails each and they were all great! Our waiter, Ben, was amazing, and the manager stopped by to see how everything went. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Can't believe I haven't left a review yet!! This is our regular place for Friday night dinner!!! The staff is attentive and friendly! I don't think you can go wrong with anyone here... Adam, Craig, Ed, Colin, Katie, Carson, just to name a few! Service is always on point here, as is the food! My favorite is the TRG Top Chop with the cornbread and broccoli!!! Do yourself a favor and dine here!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

    Went here to celebrate a birthday. Staff was super friendly and the food was delicious!

    Pork chop, Mac n cheese
    Kehmia T.

    Took my friend out for lunch to celebrate her recent engagement & she chose here. We started off with a bottle of Prosecco. It was probably one of my favorites and the only thing I enjoyed here. We shared the wings and they were decent. I had the chicken fried chicken with the bacon jalapeño mac and cheese, & broccoli. The chicken could've had some more flavor in my opinion. My friend said she enjoyed her pork chop though. We shared the tres leches - it could've been a bit more moist and soaked in leche. I'm all for giving restaurants a second chance so I may come back but not in the near future.

    Caprese

    Went here for a girls meet up, just a walk in. One of my friend's first time going here. Wait was about 30 mins to sit inside so we opt to sit outside. Although it was raining it's covered so we were fine with sitting outside. We waited for about 10-15 mins for us to get a waiter. Our waitress was Tia, she wasn't very friendly or engaging when taking our order. she was very direct and to the point. Anyhow I got the Caprese as I've gotten before, it was fresh and delicious. Also got the jumbo wings but they were not fully done and the dipping sauce wasn't tasting like anything at all. We all had the wings and had the same sentiments on the taste and how it was done. I've been here before and had the same exact meal so hence why I got it again and I was dissatisfied. Also the music for outdoors was so loud we had a hard time hearing ourselves while conversing. I did say I'd come back here after my first experience but now I'm iffy.

    Chicken fried steak was more breading than steak
    John R.

    After dropping off the food, we never saw our waitress so had to finish the meal without anything to drink. The tea was more ice than drink so ran out of tea quickly. I tried getting someone working there attention but everyone seemed to be in their own world. The chicken fried steak was more breading than steak (see picture included). I ended up eating one of my mother's fried fish filets since there was not much steak in my meal.

    I had a great experience at the republic grille, I get why it's so highly rated - it lived up to the reputation. The food here was truly well above average. Service was good. Prices were about normal. Truly, I couldn't believe how good the food was. I'm not sure why, it it tasted very very good. Definitely a cut above the rest. I got the chicken fried chicken. The gravy was so delicious. The breading kept falling off my chicken, but that was my only complaint. Highly recommend this place

Cabbage was good--greens very spicy! Gave to my sister who rated 9 out of 10 would recommend. Cornbread was like hard day old bread and went into the trash! Bbq platter: BIL loved his plate! Said potato salad was meh but all else good! Hotlinks, ribs, and beans! Sister got fried chicken and added mac&cheese along with yams! Chicken was fresh but not seasoned much! Mac&cheese good for diner menu option, and yams were okay she said! Greasy spoon Mac is better IMO but Granny's oxtails the best I've had here in H-town! Although spicy/hot food is not my favorite I did enjoy them If the cornbread were softer & sweeter I think the rating would be 4! Would I go back? Hmm! Yea for the tails of course! I saw they have catfish & black eyed peas so I may try those next time as well! Overall 3.5 but can't do half stars By default I left it at 4

So of course, when in Houston, you look for good bbq food, and that's exactly what i wanted! Me and my friend had split the taste of the south which included 4 meats, 4 sides, slices of white bread, pickles and onions. It also came with a bbq sauce as well. We ordered two drinks. Fountain and they had their version of iced tea which was more like kool aid. It was so good. Normally i don't rate restaurants very high because a lot of them missed the mark. This one tho!! Omg! It needs to be higher on the Yelp list. The customer service was 10/10! Top tier. We were welcomed, helped and the employees were so inviting it felt like a welcome home. Which is always nice. We ordered the taste of the south.. the meats and sides we chose were brisket, (8/10 super peppery outside. Pull apart was nice and it was tender). Ribs (9/10) meaty, dry rubbed and delicious! With that added sauce, yes! Yes! Yes! We ordered the mild in house sausage, which were great! It had a little bit of a pepper flavor and it was delicious. Personally, i give the sausage a 7/10, and the star of the show to me was the turkey breast! Omg!! It was smoked to perfection yet the juiciest piece of turkey I've ever had in my life! It was so flavorful, and just all around delicious! (10/10!) the sides we ordered were the potato salad (10/10!!!) that potato salad tasted sooooo good!! The Cajun rice was really good too, the collard greens were also sooo good!! The smoked turkey in the greens were such a hit too. It gave it so much more flavor. The greens were so good you could've drank the juice!! And the bbq sauce was good. I prefer a vinegar based sauce, but i didn't ask for that. So this is what came with our food and it was everything! All in all 10/10! It's blacked owned, a black male chef is in the kitchen and they are cooking up some good stuff!! If you're in Houston, try it out. You won't be disappointed!! See pics below.

Upon first glance of the interior, it looks like this space used to be a bar or something with a huge bar area in the middle of the space off to the right side. There are many circular cut outs in the ceiling where huge room fans are installed. They make all their dressings homemade, and hand bread many of their fried items like mushrooms, onion rings and stuffed jalapeños. They have salads, burgers, and 12 different comfort food entrees. They also have a daily special menu that spotlights a couple items of the day and their coffees, soups and dessert. They are a beer and wine restaurant. One unique item they have on the menu is a fork and knife hot dog which costs $13. Wow, this better be one awesome hot dog. The day I visited, they had a party for about 30 senior citizens that were celebrating a birthday. Normally that many customers in a single group would make a restaurant pretty loud, but it was actually extremely quiet in the restaurant. Every good restaurant does something slightly different to set them apart. Here at dinner, they give you a dinner roll slathered in melted honey butter and rosemary. The roll itself seemed to be made from frozen dough, but the tasty butter made it edible. I ordered the chicken club and kept the fries as my side. As far as presentation, I'd give it a C. The fries are frozen breaded fries. The sandwich tasted better than it looked thankfully. Service was good throughout my time here. Overall, the meal was good enough and I will be coming back to try other options.
