    Chicken Wings
    Tramaine B.

    Social media hyped The Ultimate Kitchen so much I had to add it to my foodie bookmarks. The way people were carrying on, I figured this spot might just become a regular. Now, since it's a bit of a drive from where I live, I never made the trip, until one day when my hunger met convenience. I happened to be in the area, saw it, and thought, Why not? Let's see what all the fuss is about. The restaurant sits in the same lot as a gas station, but it's not in the gas station. Parking, however, is minimal, so may the odds be ever in your favor. Inside, it's pretty compact with a few tables, some bar seating and a DJ. I decided to skip the dining in vibes and just order to go. Here's what I got: oxtail sliders, sweet potatoes, and wings. Sadly, this lineup didn't live up to the social media praise. The oxtail sliders were the MVP, tender, flavorful, and worth the hype. But the sweet potatoes? Overcooked and way too sweet, like someone thought diabetes instead of a side dish. Ive never seen sweet potatoes this dark before. The wings? No seasoning, no flavor, no nothing, just wings existing in silence. When I mentioned this, I was told I had ordered the chicken wrong. Excuse me? Since when is there a wrong way to order chicken? At least I did get a refund for the wings and sweet potatoes. The manager I talked to wasn't sassy and you could tell he wanted to resolve the situation. Would I go back? Honestly, probably not. It's too far of a drive for food that didn't match the hype. But if someone dropped off a few of those oxtail sliders at my door... I wouldn't say no.

    They are scheduled to open at 11AM and we had our reservation for 11:30AM. We arrived at 11:08 and they were closed. I called and they said they will open in 10 minutes, they didn't open until 11:36. They had to set up our table. There was no greeting. It was hot inside with a portable a/c. The tables are small square metal and the chairs are small. Now on to the good part. Our waitress was a very kind young lady. The food is good and the Happy Hour is all day.

    Brunch with the first ladies. Small place but very nice workers. Everyone was so friendly. Ebony, our waitress was very attentive and kept our water carafe filled. The music was fiya! The dj came around 12 noon and was playing old R&B. He had us all singing Tevin Campbell-Can we talk amongst other songs. The vibe was hitting! My cousin and I will be returning without our moms. Not that they can't come, because that's where we got our litness from. Lol!

    Southwestern egg rolls 9/10 smaller than expected but still good

    The food was really good, definitely made to order so expect a wait. The $5 margarita taste like really good juice, I wouldn't waste your money if your wanting something strong or to get you tipsy. Better deal was to get the $3 shots they were damn near double shots. My only complaint is they almost forgot my wings, me and my mom were almost finished when they noticed and then they immediately brought it out so I still had to pay and just ask for to go box. I would come back now that I know what to order and wait expectations ! Good music playing, nice vibe, and the staff were nice.

    Chill vibe almost any day of the week. Everyday is like Sunday Funday. Live DJ, the wings are HUGE and worth the $$. Music genre: Hip Hop Hookahs available. Bar tender is really nice and came by to make sure we were satisfied with our drinks. Will be back!

    Oxtail Sliders with a side of Mac & Cheese.

    I drove from Tomball to this place on the other side of town because these IG influencers really be hyping these Houston restaurants up. Not worth it at all. Overhyped. Should've listened to the reviews. They also charge a "take out fee"! WTF is a "takeout fee" of 18%? Because I don't want to sit in your establishment and yell at the top of my lungs over loud music, I get charged a fee. I swear these Houston restaurants are overcharging just because. I've been eating out my whole adult life and never been charged a takeout fee. I ordered the Oxtail Sliders and the Oxtail Eggrolls. Sliders were okay. Eggrolls were trash. Extremely little for $17!!! 3 tiny eggrolls cut in half to bite size pieces. The eggrolls are literally the size of spring rolls at an Asian restaurant, then cut in half. The prices are not justifiable. Even with oxtail being a premium meat. Mac and cheese was definitely trash. No flavor at all. If I'm paying almost $50 for my food, I better not find any problems with my order. I'd give any restaurant the same energy. I have no problem paying for food and quality and dining experiences. Trust me, my tabs at steakhouses are car notes for some. I wasn't pleased at all and I won't be back. I just hate I listen to these food bloggers and waste my money. I won't trust anymore food bloggers ever again.

    Oxtails with a side of greens (macaroni and yams are the standard sides with this meal)...

    I was a little skeptical going here because of some of the reviews...but glad I didn't listen to the folks! Now one thing they did get right is the parking..it is limited. However we went when it opened and had no issues parking. We we greeted when we walked in. They had the trap music playing. It kind of gave me "locker room" vibes. Our waitress was Cynthia and she was amazing. She gave me background on how this started off as a food truck in 2019. She recommended great things on the menu. We had a Appetizer platter with sliders (spicyyyy), good egg rolls, and boneless wings. We shared the catfish and shrimp and grits because we were already full. Now these frozen sidecars yall with a extra shot of Henn got me. I start sweating and had to take a 15 minute nap in the car before my ride back to Katy. I think I may leave out the extra shot next time. Lol. I hear that Sunday is the busy day of them all. It's not a big spot..so plan accordingly. If ever by OST..give this place a try!

    I was a little skeptical!! Because the reviews weren't so positive! But I'm so glad I gave this gem a chance. The vibe is very much lit and turn up. They had a DJ. We were there on a Sunday and it was packed. The service was good. A little slow and we had to remind the server of a couple of things. They wrote super busy! Our food and drinks were soooo good! It came out hot and fresh. I was impressed. The place is small and I definitely see them outgrowing this spot! They have the best yams that I have ever tasted from a restaurant! Everything was so good'

    Came here because my BF wanted to show me what his late nights at Rice were like after a few beers…read more I was tempted to order more than just the hot dog, but we had a heavy lunch. I swear the Bulgogi Fries were screaming my name, though. Yoyo's Hotdog - Yoyo--YO. This thing slaps. I definitely craved a Coke or a beer while eating this because that salt kicks your taste buds' *ss. The caramelized onions paired with the crunchy onions were a double whammy that could topple a few hot dog title holders. The real winner, though, was the sauce--definitely something Asian-inspired. But hey, I'm running on five hours of sleep, and that's the best my smooth brain could come up with to describe the experience. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    In Houston on a trip and was recommended to try this place out while I'm here. Service is super…read morefast and the customer service is great! I got their famous hotdog with spicy mayo, french onion, sautéed onions, and hot sauce. (That's how it comes standard) don't get me wrong it's definitely a lot going on from the flavors and the messiness of the dog, but the flavors balance out very well and the all beef hot dog is delicious. There's no spice from the mayo or hot sauce so if you don't like spice you'll be fine. I also tried their bulgogi fries which came with bulgogi meat, jalepenos, cheese and cilantro. My first reaction was it was delicious but it wouldn't be something I would get again, but after I kept eating it I realized this is actually really good and now when I go back I'll definitely try it again. Overall I definitely recommend this place to visitors or even locals
