    Green Pizza
    Jenn B.

    Nothing beats a great happy hour vibe where I can sip and journal. I LOVE pizza, and their charred greens pizza is the BEST!

    Ciara D.

    First time trying this restaurant, I didn't make a reservation and it was packed so I dined in outside by the patio which was pleasantly welcoming. I was craving pizza so I ordered the Italian sausage pizza with no Italian sausage and added hot honey on the side. The pizza was amazing. Service was amazing as well. I would visit again just to dine in inside as I loved the open kitchen concept. I went after 8pm and found street parking, I can't attest to parking prior to that. I would visit again. The only con is they don't have any chicken or beef options for the pizza which is a personal thing since I don't eat pork.

    Braised butter beans.

    Tiny Champions is one of those spots that lives up to the hype. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. What I ordered: * Fried quail -- perfectly crunchy and tender, with a sauce that complemented it well * Braised butter beans -- a surprise standout; savory with a subtle smoky flavor, bright dill, balanced by creamy ricotta and crunchy croutons (and I'm not even a bean person) * Salami piccante pizza -- spicy pepperoni, hot honey, and ricotta; simple, balanced, and not overly spicy (mild) The atmosphere was relaxed and social with a steady crowd, but it never felt too loud. Sat outside in the evening and it was a really nice vibe. Service was great--kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. Heads up: street parking only, and make a reservation. It was packed on a Friday night. Easy repeat spot.

    Sausage pizza
    Sandra K.

    It's been a minute since we've been here. We had a concert at Meow Wolf and decided to give it another try. We got the sausage pizza, quail, beet salad, ice cream with a shot, and the frozen cherry cola drink. Can I just say that the food was fantastic and the service excellent? Pizza was very very good. The winner out of the food items was the quail. It was juicy, perfectly breaded, and the ranch and dill helped to round out the dish. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. We were able to park across the street and just walk over. Place was packed and others were waiting even for our 830 reservation and in the rain.

    Tiny chimps!! Always a fun treat to dine here. Starting off with the dreamsicle mocktail, this was sooo yummy and unique. Not too sweet either! As for pizzas, we decided on the greens pizza and the picante (no salami). Both were so freaking good. The greens pizza has so much garlic in it and the way the greens are CRISPY makes all the difference. The picante was also amazing, especially if you love the combo of ricotta and hot honey. To end our meal, we got the coffee ice cream sundae and oh my lawd, unreal!!!!! Love this place for date night or a girls night - it's definitely one of those places where you want to get a bunch of stuff and share! Check it out!

    Their Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM) is easily one of the best values in the city! Get half-off their fermented-crust pizzas and $5 cocktails! Vibes are more bohemian-chic style, with mismatched chandeliers and dark lighting. Pro-tip: get there right at 5:00 PM because pizzas do take ~25 min to come out.

    A lovely setting. Nice patio. Dress to impress, many people come here on dates. Pizza was high quality. Charred in the right places, crispy.

    Hot honey pizza
    Jillian C.

    Ordered the special pasta of the day. Wish i could remember the name because it was absolutely phenomenal. The pasta had crunch from nuts, stuffed with i believe delicious mushrooms. Very complex flavor profile. I got the hot honey pizza which was amazing as well. The only comment is that the hot honey gets a bit overwhelming in flavor as you get to the third slice. Service was great. I came in with no reservation and they managed to squeeze us in with the request that we leave by a certain time to accommodate those with a reservation. They let us stay a half hour past that time. On the darker side at night. Makes for a good mood for a date night.

    Ever since I tried Nancy's Hustle, I have had my eye on Tiny Champions and I finally saw a dinner reservation and had to grab a spot. We came here Saturday evening around 7:30 and it was quite busy in the main dining areas and bar. Our server was Francisco and they were great through and through (even gave me a great drink recommendation/modification). We started with the Nordic Thunder and Train Hopper drinks and the fried quail. We also ordered the fennel sausage pizza (+ fancy ranch and hot honey) and the stuffed shells with seafood cream sauce. Everything we had was 10/10 AMAZING. I'm so so happy that I finally got to try this restaurant and add it to my list of favorites. As far as the decor and aesthetics, the interior front is quite small but the back area is actually massive (including the patio). I loved the art work on the walls, the gender neutral restrooms and the neon light at the front. It really set a very artsy-decco vibe throughout. I would absolutely recommend anyone to come here - whether you grab a spot at the bar or reserve a table. I cannot wait to come back

    Potato pure pizza
    Courtney W.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Houston and I cannot say enough wonderful things about it!! Definitely recommend reservations because it gets busy! The staff are so lovely, the servers here are the best. I really appreciate how the menu changes with the seasons. Braised butter beans- these were a perfect app/side dish. The broth is very savory and the croutons are a perfect texture, crunchy but soft in areas soaking up the broth. The beans are a nice texture, maintaining some chew. The cheesy mixture on top adds some creamy component and the dill adds freshness. It's really a great dish all around. Hanger with polenta- cooked perfectly. The steak was so flavorful and tender with slightly crispy edges. The polenta had a nice sweetness that paired well with the meat. It's 8 oz of meat which is perfect to share between 2 people while also enjoying other dishes. Potato puree pizza- all of the pizzas are great, this one is so fun and whimsical! The chips on top are a nice touch. The crust is perfection. Added chili oil on the side which gave it a nice little kick. Chocolate layer cake with chestnut hazelnut ice cream- oh my, I will dream of this dessert. The mascarpone frosting wasn't that sweet, the sharpness of the mascarpone helped cut through the sweetness of the cake. The caramel sauce, praline/nut crumbles, and candied kumquats created texture and extra flavorful elements. The chestnut hazelnut praline ice cream was truly remarkable, so fragrant from the nuts. I want a whole tub of this ice cream! This place can do no wrong in my eyes. Will always come back here through the seasons!!

    Risotto, buttered beans
    Neha S.

    This place was 20/10, and I will be coming back here again. Every single thing we ordered was great. If I had to rank the items, there wouldn't be a "worst" it would just be amazing to still great. We got the burrata and buttered beans for appetizers. The peppers in the burrata were so tangy and added a zing the same way the sauce and toppings in the buttered beans dish did. The fresh dill in the buttered beans took it to another level. Also, we got the risotto and greens pizza for our entrees, and both felt really rich and flavorful. I was truly impressed because the dishes all seemed to be done very simply and in a true Italian fashion without too much pomp or fuss but done so well and to the highest level. We also got brown butter cookies for dessert and they literally tasted like Christmas. The drinks were also solid - would recommend Nordic thunder for anyone who really likes guava. This is truly a gem because while it may look humble on the outside, the inside is popping, and lively, and way bigger than I thought. Once you enter, there's the main seating area, but you can go further back, and there's a whole separate dining area, and there's even a patio. You can tell this place is super popular because the earliest dinner reservation we could get was 8:45 pm on the patio, but someone cancelled their indoor reservation so we got to sit inside instead. The service was also amazing as our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations to give. She was also super kind and made the experience great.

    Cucumbers w/ Pickled Honeydew, Tahini, Jalapeno & Sesame Brittle
    Ari K.

    We had a reservation for 7:15 and came a little early, so we had to wait a little as it was pretty busy. We were seated quickly and service was great. The patio has a similar vibe to its sister restaurant, Nancy's Hustle - very open, fun, and well-lit. Like Nancy's, the food holds its own. We started off with the Cucumber Salad and the Braised Butter Beans. The salad had this crunchy sesame brittle on top which gave it a good contrast to the creamy tahini dressing. There was a little heat to it as well. The beans were excellent and lived up to their reputation. We got the Crab-Stuffed Shells and the Risotto also. My favorite was probably the crab pasta. For dessert we got the Coffee Sundae with hot fudge and little donut holes. The ice cream was great - not too sweet - and the fudge made it even better. I liked dining at Tiny Champions, and I would recommend it as a place to have a nice dinner in Houston!

    Fried Quail, Crab Stuffed Shells, Salami Picante Pizza, Rigatoni
    Lanha T.

    Tiny Champions is a casual place to grab a bite to eat. There's plenty of street parking around the area. Everything we ordered, we enjoyed. The fried quail was cooked nicely and went well with the ranch and dill. Both of the pastas we ate were delicious. It was hard to choose which we liked more between the rigatoni and crab stuffed shells. I liked the slight heat on the Salami Picante pizza. Hot honey is honestly good on anything. Service was kind of a hit or miss. The servers were quick to walk away after the food is placed on the table. I hate to flag someone down especially if another person was there 5 seconds ago. Tiny Champions is a good place that's no muss, no fuss.

Every Wednesday, they host a midweek indulgence for the ladies: complimentary champagne, signature chocolate, and curated sounds inside this one-of-a-kind chocolate speakeasy. Come for the immersive chocolate experience. Stay for the seductive, late-night vibes. If you're in Houston and looking for a cute girls night out, unique date night, or a speakeasy experience, add this to your bucket list immediately. It's intimate, indulgent, and just different enough to make your night feel special. Now there are levels to this elevated experience. Here's the simplest breakdown according to their mixologist Tim: 1. Opening Hour: 2 infused chocolates, 1 chocolate medallion, a mixed drink, and a welcome spritz 2. Guided Tasting: 3 courses of drinks and chocolates 3. The Journey: 5 courses of drinks, chocolates, and other bites. Come hungry! You're encouraged to book a reservation through their website. But since we went on Wednesday for the ladies night, we were able to just go right in. I'm doing chemo so I can't drink or have the alcohol infused chocolate but I still had a great time. Sober folks can also enjoy this place. I got a cherry mocktail and it was the best mocktail I ever drank. They had two chocolate bon bons that weren't infused with alcohol and then all of the flat medallions are also not infused. They were sweet enough to send me home with some alcohol infused chocolates to have once I finish my chemo. We got there around 7 and didn't leave until the place was closing down. The DJ was amazing and she made the atmosphere feel more like a Saturday night.

It's a speakeasy located behind a chocolate shop that serves drinks and chocolates! It's a very intimate room, dimly lit, with r&b playing all night long. We went on a Friday night (around 11PM) and there was about 10 people there (including our party of 4). All the servers are extremely knowledgable and super kind. You can even see the owner there working and contributing to the vibes. Their cocktails are about $16 so very standard pricing and the chocolates come with a drink. The drinks were tasty, even the Old Fashioned (probably the best one I've ever had). Plus they close even later than described with "no official close time". As our server described, "they close when the vibes die off ... typically around 1AM". So I'll definitely be back and you should definitely check them out. It's also close by to Houston high society, neighbors, and eighth row flint which are all amazing bars with perks of their own so it would be great for even a bar hopping date night.

We both ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. Sheri's was good, but mine was tough and gristly. The gravy tasted fine, although there wasn't much of it on the plate to begin with. The Sweet Chili Shrimp appetizer was the highlight of the meal and easily the best thing we ordered. I also tried the Soup de Julio. The flavor was excellent, but the bowl was mostly rice with very little else in it. Our friends ordered a salad and a burger, and both seemed pleased with their meals. I do want to give credit where it's due. Our waitress, **Sheila**, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. She was not responsible for what happened next. The total bill for our table was **over $200 including tip**. After spending that kind of money, we asked for a little extra gravy to take home with leftover chicken fried steak because the original serving was light. We weren't asking for a bowl--just a small ramekin. We were told there would be a **$2 charge plus tax**. That may not sound like much, but after spending more than $200, charging a customer extra for a tiny container of gravy felt incredibly petty. It's not the amount of money; it's the message it sends. Good restaurants build loyalty through hospitality, and this felt more like nickel-and-diming customers. The food ranged from average to good, Sheila's service was excellent, but the decision to charge for a small ramekin of gravy overshadowed the entire experience. Unfortunately, what should have been a pleasant meal ended on a sour note, and we won't be returning.

Although I had a few drinks, my partner and I chose to eat beforehand because we were unsure if food trucks would be available due to the holiday. The team at the bar was very friendly, providing great drink recommendations, and other staff members consistently came around to collect empty glasses, keeping the area tidy. We reserved a cabana, which was a great decision, especially when the rain came later in the day, as it kept us covered. There was plenty of seating available around the pool and in grassy shaded areas away from the pool. Bathrooms and showers were also accessible if you wanted to change clothes. One suggestion I would make is to have a more diverse music playlist. While the venue advertised that pop music would be played, it didn't always match the preferences of everyone there, especially given the diverse group of guests in attendance. Also, make sure to bring your ID; otherwise, you won't be allowed in. I had to make a trip back home to retrieve mine, even with a valid photo ID. If anyone managed to get in without an ID, please comment below and let me know! Overall, I would recommend this club.
