I am so angry...I can't put it into words....Chef Austin has RUINED my food experience for the rest of my days. Nothing will ever satisfy my craving for the pinnacle of culinary perfection that I have experienced here. I will forever be chasing that first glorious bite....the sudden rush of dopamine brought on by the absolute perfect balance in every dish. I will wander this Earth in nothing but disappointment of every bite of mere bland....unassuming sustenance from this day forth. The rib....get the RIB. Lobster toast....get the damn lobster toast. Skip the potatoes. Get the damn pecan pie. How dare you Chef Austin.....how dare you. Sincerely. The saddest happy customer ever. read more

TRIS - ALLLLL the meats.....heaven on Earth - New American Near Me - The Woodlands, Texas

WOW! This restaurant blew me away! The quality and uniqueness of the menu and food was top notch. The service was very attentive and impeccable. The server told us about the chef and how the restaurant is named after his daughter. The decor was very modern and the ambience was romantic. The Korean butter poached crab was so flavorful. The ahi tuna sushi pizza was light and tangy. The cauliflower was saucy and mouth watering. The Ora king salmon was the best! The fish was flaky and the tom kha broth was a great complement and added a rich flavor. The blueberry cobbler was warm and flaky. My only issue with the menu is that there was too much citrus. It seemed like everything had lemon zest. The portion sizes were very decent and great for sharing. Highly recommend and would definitely come back! read more

I had heard about this place before, and never got around to trying it. If you are in the same boat, stop wasting time and eat here as soon as possible. The service was great and they were attentive and welcoming. The restaurant was comfy and had a good high scale vibe while not being too full of itself. Now the food.... The food was amazing. The burger that I had is probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. Every dish we had here would belong on my personal top five list of those dishes. The fries were awesome. The goat cheese appetizer was a knock out. Me and my wife enjoyed everything. So once again, if you haven't made the trip here yet.... Get on it. read more

I absolutely loved this place! The ambience is so nice and the service was excellent. I absolutely loved the ahi sushi tuna pizza. It was such a unique option and it was so fresh! The bread pudding was also delicious. I would love to come back again and try a steak, which is, another huge thing this place is known for the price is a little steep for the steak, so I would limit getting a steak unless I am eating there for a special occasion. Their hamburger is amazing as well and they have a really great happy hour! I also loved the martini. When I am back in the area, I will definitely be coming here again in the future. read more

This was my second time here and I forgot how good this place is. We ordered oysters and drinks for appetizers. The cocktails were delicious and well made. I ordered the fried chicken and my husband ordered the steak pastry dish. The chicken was enough for two people! It was crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside with great flavors. Our server was absolutely fantastic, I love this place and will be back soon read more

We had the lobster toast and baked oysters to start. The Oysters were pretty good but I wouldn't order them again. The lobster toast was excellent. We had a steak board with beef rib, ribeye, and filet. The beef rib was by far the best meat on the board. The ribeye was good but the filet was a bit tough. The sauces that accompanied the meat were hit and miss. They could definitely improve these. We had the truffle fries and creamed corn sides and these were delicious. Our waiter, Francisco was very nice and the service was good. Overall, it was a great experience. We will go back for the beef rib and to try some other dishes. read more

WOW. We came here for the restaurant week menu, and when I say this is our new favorite, I mean it. I can't talk enough about the service, ambiance, and food. It's been a while where I've had a 3 course meal where every course I almost cried when I finished. Don't get me started on the kimchi mash. The burger, bread pudding, fried chicken and goat cheese appetizer were to die for. Chef Austin and team really know what they're doing. Come here. You will not regret it. read more

Why 5 stars? Because this is a solid choice for a special occasion. --- --- --- I was trying to narrow down where exactly I should have my birthday dinner this year, and while I almost went with a place in Houston, I figured it would be easier to hop over to the Woodlands on a Tuesday night. Shortly after booking my reservation, I saw that Joe Rogan posted on Instagram that he had one of the best meals of his life here, which definitely had me feeling like I made the right choice. Ultimately, when you spend over $300 on a meal for two people, it's always going to hurt a little bit. My wife and I both felt like everything ranged from good-to-great: strong enough for a 5-star review, IMO! But it was probably not my favorite, or even second favorite high-end meal I've had since moving back to the Houston area. Breaking it down item-by-item: Brown Butter Old Fashioned: I am not going to give a rating on this one because I am not really an Old Fashioned drinker, which makes it a bit unfair. I let the server recommend the most popular drink, and he made it sound pretty appealing, but I will probably never love bourbon. It was fine, but not something I'd need to order again. Korean Butter Poached Crab: 5-stars. When our server came by to ask what we thought, I said: "This is like food science." There are so many flavors going on within this dish and all of them are good. Be aware: this is a pretty small plate, but it's delicious. Brussels Sprouts: 5-stars. How God intended Brussels Sprouts to be eaten. Lobster Risotto: 3-stars, with a caveat. I did not like the citrus flavor here, which kind of ruined the dish for me. My wife, however, loved it and said that this was her favorite thing we ate. Wagyu Strip: 4-stars. It was very enjoyable. But at over $100, I did not feel it was worth the price point. The sauces that accompanied it were good, but a really high end steak shouldn't need sauce to dress it up. On the note of the sauces, I did not love the chimichurri at all, despite that usually being one of my favorites. Bread Pudding: 5-stars. A few days earlier, we were at a sports bar and ordered bread pudding. Every person at the table hated it. Fast forward to TRIS, and it was like the ultimate palette cleansing experience. THIS is bread pudding and it is glorious. We had great service and I am annoyed at myself for forgetting his name. The room we were in did not have an empty table in it all night -- a great sign for a place on a Tuesday night that is certainly not a cheap night out. Thanks for making the last birthday of my youth an enjoyable one, TRIS! read more

We went to Tris on my birthday and we had a mixed experience. Firstly, I was a little underwhelmed by the ambience. We did not have an intimate dining experience. At that price point, we were expecting much better but the place was so tight that all the tables were smushed together. We were at a table for two and we had about three or so tables on both our sides and we asked to be moved, which we were close to the kitchen. Secondly, we noticed that there were some (tables or just booths that I don't remember now) that had "happy birthday" cards on them. I asked me fiance if they didn't know it was my birthday, and he told me at the time of booking he had specified that. Now, I don't need that validation but what irked me was why didn't I receive the same treatment that others did? At that, I asked my server why didn't our table make the cut, and he said the front desk made a mistake. He brought some rose petals but of course, at that point, it just seemed so half-assed, and so I told him it won't be necessary. And, our server was excellent by the way, it wasn't his fault at all. We ordered calamari and ahi tuna for appetizers, both of which were excellent. For our main course, we ordered one of the recommended wagyu steaks as recommended by our server with a side of brussel sprouts. Honestly, the wagyu was not at all different from filet mignons that we've had. There was absolutely no marbling. We went to Perry's just three days later and we had a really great wagyu steak which made our experience at Tris just a little bit more sour. Last, we ordered chocolate cake and blueberry pie for desserts and we were surprised with a "happy anniversary" sign hahaha. Our server was confused but it was hilarious. The desserts were delicious though. I don't think the blueberry pie was on the menu, but if you get a chance, please check! One of my favorite desserts ever! So, the positives would be free champagne to toast for my birthday and they actually comped my dessert and one of the appetizers, if I'm not mistaken. All in all, definitely not worth the price point. Also, on our way to the parking lot, we ran into a gentleman who was quite inebriated. He said how great the restaurant is and what not. He could barely stand, and he got in the car. I don't know if it's the restaurant's responsibility to not to serve an already drunk person, but he seemed like he had been drunk a few drinks ago. In my previous life, I worked at a grocery store, where we were told to not to sell alcohol to someone who's already drunk so. read more

Came to Tris for a rehearsal dinner ( never heard of the place ) but it looked promising. The venue itself was very nice but not ostentatious. We had the meeting space downstairs which was a bit generic but gets the job done . The service was excellent and only exceeded by the delightful food . Literally every dish they brought out was stellar including my steak cooked to perfection and seasoned to a T ( best steak of 2024 for me ). Sides and apps were on point and it was certainly the highlight of my visit to the area . Well done !! read more

I treated my wife to an anniversary dinner here and alas, I'd find myself saying what I say when a dear friend (or even an extraordinary acquaintance) passes. If only I'd known that was the end...if only I'd known that was the last time I'd see my friend, I would have made so much more time. Several weeks ago The Woodlands was stunned when its most famous, heralded, celebrated (and admittedly priciest) restaurant shuttered forever. While announcing the news abruptly on social media on January 2! Talk about a New Year's resolution by local culinary titan (and Le Cordon Bleu-trained Austin Simmons! Yo Austin, can you give us a little more of a head's up next time? :) So thankful I got to take my honey to this lost gem. My order of The Big Rib was everything I could have wanted. A Wagyu beef rib cut into medallions beside the bone? A great bowl of lobster bisque? And the assistance of our great waiter. I forget his name--hailing from El Salvador. I take heart that many of its great kitchen staff moved to the café and wine shop, The Kitchen, on Research Forest in The Woodlands. I'll be stopping by again! I will say my one wish for TRIS besides it enjoying a longer lifespan, was that its price point was notably lower. A bowl of soup for $32? My order of one of the specialties, the Big Rib, clocking in at over $150? It was so worth it--and Austin Simmons and his line really were that gifted--but sans a Michelin Star or a Michelin Plate, many prospective diners would grumble at those prices. I know I'll see Chef Simmons resurface soon in another unforgettable venue. Perhaps it will be in downtown H-Town--or in the city sharing his name! read more

My husband and I went during happy hour before a concert and it was the perfect choice. We arrived at 5:15pm on a Thursday and probably didn't need the reservation we made. We would've been happy sitting at the bar, but there wasn't an empty chair. The ambiance was nice! We didn't know what to expect since it was our first time here. We got the HH hummus, burger, spicy Paloma, and house red wine. The hummus plate comes with perfectly cooked naan and cucumbers, which are how we prefer them! The burger has an English muffin that looked hard on arrival, but was actually very soft and well cooked. The burger itself was smashed style and yummy! My favorite part was the truffle fries- so crispy and flavorful. My husband really enjoyed his spicy Paloma and said it's the best Paloma he's had in a while. Our server was very attentive and kept checking in on us. We got the chocolate cake to-go before heading out. The cake itself was probably the only thing I didn't love- it was almost like a savory chocolate cake to us. The frosting was a whipped salted caramel and it was very salty. Not my favorite, but absolutely loved everything else. We will be coming back! read more

After seeing so many Facebook post raves about Tris, specifically about the burger, I finally decided to give it a try during happy hour one Saturday evening. Happy hour is first come first served, so I was thankful to grab a table for two inside at 6 PM. Our table was a tiny one in a corner, so it was hard to get a feel for the restaurant. The service was decent. Nothing remarkable. The prices are great to an extent. $10 for a burger and fries is great, but an additional $6 for truffle fries is a little crazy. The actual taste of the burger is good but compared to other burger places, such as Burger Chan, it is nothing to write home about. The Brussels sprouts were the star of the show for us. They were a little strong flavored but tolerable. If I were to come back, it would only be for the Brussels sprouts or a cheap burger (with plain fries). read more

Tris is a treat, a really good treat at that. Came here after a visit with the family to the woodlands mall area for the holidays. Located in a nice little suite along the woodlands district, this is one fancy outing worth checking out. Atmosphere: Uppity scale bar, with great ambiance and lighting, makes for a private escape type feel, perfect for outings. Food: I tried two dishes recommended by the hostess and server, Korean Butter poached crab, and crab and truffle ravioli. Both fantastic. The truffle in the ravioli just burst with flavor making for a filling and delectable dish. Hard for me to make a stern recommendation on certain dishes because by the looks of the offerings, the best thing to do is go with something that sounds most appealing, but these were the dishes I really enjoyed, and I have no doubt the others are just as good. Service: Fantastic service, as stated above the staff are more than helpful to make recommendations. The added flair is that they'll come by each time you finish a dish to clean your table and check on you often. Treat yourself to Tris, overused jokes aside I really enjoyed my time here. I'll make up any tiny excuse to bring a friend or even just myself to see what else they have on the menu. read more

Anniversaries call for a special dinner experience and Tris provided us with quite an amazing one. From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed, we had an elegant and elevated evening. Everyone from the hostess to the waiter wished us a happy anniversary and tended to our needs. We started out with cocktails, Tris' take on an old fashioned and the brûlée'd grapefruit martini. The old fashioned was solid but the martini is a thing dreams are made of. Smooth and tasty, it went down easy. We took Tommy's (our fabulous waiter) word and ordered the Korean Butter Poached Crab appetizer and it proved to be more than worthy of a decade long seat on the menu. As a fan of pork belly, I had to have the pork belly appetizer, candied and covered with dollops of a blue cheese cream and slivers of jalapeño this was an amazing rendition and treatment of a favorite protein. Entrees ordered were the Waygu steak and lobster combination and Tris' fried chicken. The fried chicken was huge and equally delicious. The surf and turf turn included knuckle meat and a flatiron steak over a mushroom tart. The tart had so much umani, it was was too much for one sitting. The steak was unbelievable, tender and perfectly seasoned. The lobster for me was ordinary and appeared to be straightforward steamed. The sides were money with the kimchi mashed potatoes packed with flavor and the caramelized brussel sprouts were likely Candy. We finished with cappuccino, coffee and the apple tart decorated for our anniversary. Thank you Tris! read more

I want to start off by saying the servers here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu! We were celebrating my husband's promotion for work, we ordered quail, which was great! I ordered the wagyu burger which is my favorite thing from TRIS, phenomenal! My husband ordered the wagyu ribeye which was absolutely terrible. At that price point ($150), it should melt in your mouth. There was NO flavor, not tender AT ALL, and just way too over priced. Not sure if it's from changing cattle companies? We noticed on the menu that it was a different ranch for the wagyu steaks. At this price point, we thought it would be a way better experience. We've been to B&B Butchers and paid $100 for a wagyu ribeye & had a great experience. We were expecting TRIS to take it to the next level for a $150 wagyu ribeye. At this point, we were frustrated with the whole experience, so we left without getting dessert. read more

Came with some friends who are regulars, so all the staff knew them and treated them like family. We sat in the private room with a window to the kitchen and it was nice seeing staff members wave at our friends and also have fun as they walked through because that means that the boss is doing something right. Chef Austin and his team made us a stellar dinner with I can't count how many small bites paired with it's own wine. The house manager came in to talk about how he and our friend had a whisky challenge and he showed us some of the secret ingredient which I will not reveal to help him keep his secret. If you don't know, Houston is a center of excellence in the culinary world and with people like Chef Austin, it's not hard to understand why. He takes such care in the way he describes his food and he's trained his staff to talk about food with love. I may have had some of the best bites of my life that night, so my only regret is that I don't have more stars to give this place. read more

Came here with a buddy last night for happy hour. Grabbed a table & sat in the lounge area. Our waitress Amber was friendly and helpful. I grabbed one of the two beers they had for happy hour, the Bearkat blonde. It was good, crisp refreshing and light as it should be for a blonde. I might have to plan a trip to that brewery soon since it's right up in Huntsville. To eat, I grabbed the Tris Burger with Miso fries. THAT BURGER, hands down one of the best I've had in a while! The burger patty itself was delicately moist, slightly fatty, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. You could immediately taste that it came from a top tier cut of meat. I've never had a burger on an English muffin in my life but I'm thoroughly impressed by it. The English muffin vs. a traditional bun allows you to enjoy the flavors of the burger itself instead of the bun being part of the equation. I can't talk about that burger enough. I WILL return for another one soon! And the fries were a perfect complement, perfectly seasoned and cooked and the miso sauce on top was a nice addition. I finished with a What Would Coach Drink cocktail off their happy hour menu. It was ok. I was expecting it to be a bit better. It was tad weak to me, I couldn't really discern the sweetness of the honey flavor nor mint. I probably wouldn't get that again but I'd hands down return for that burger, no questions asked! read more

Indulging in the culinary offerings of this fine dining establishment is nothing short of a gastronomic delight. From the moment you step through the door, the impeccable service sets the tone for an extraordinary experience. We came in with a group of 4 on a double date. We initially sat at the bar waiting for our table and started with a old fashioned viejo, a tequila based old fashioned. The mixologist working the bar was super knowledgeable and amazing and gave us some great recommendations. Our server was amazing as well and super knowledgeable about steak, which is what we came for. We got the Korean butter poached crab & the hamachi sashimi to start The Korean butter poached crab was delightful. The kimchi pairs amazingly with the onions and the crab has an amazing delicate taste to it. The hamachi sashimi was pretty good. It had a pretty good Smokey flavor to it and crunchy texture. We got the Gyulais Wagyu and the Miso French fried for our entree and we love it. Each dish is a masterpiece, artfully crafted with precision and attention to detail. The menu is a symphony of flavors, showcasing the chef's mastery in blending diverse elements. The ambiance exudes sophistication, creating an intimate atmosphere that complements the culinary journey. This fine dining gem goes beyond mere sustenance, offering an unforgettable fusion of taste, presentation, and refined elegance. A culinary escapade that leaves a lasting impression. read more

A girls night to remember began here at Tris and the ambience alone was well worth the trip! From the moment you walk in and are greeted with friendly smiles as well as beautiful faces, you know your experience will be superb! The decor is beautiful and has an elegant feel to it as you are guided to your seating arrangement. The hostesses were absolutely wonderful and were very complimentary! After being seated we were given a lovely booth and asked what occasion we might be celebrating. After announcing it was a much needed girls night, we were recommended a nice wine selection to start our night off and appetizers to balance it all! I ordered the Ahi Tuna which had fantastic flavor but I knew I would need more to fill me up. Luckily most things are served family style so this made it easier to share with all of us. I added the confit creamed potatoes to the table and it was an excellent choice. I sampled my friend's dishes (as good friends tend to do) and realized that I had two more dishes I needed to order upon my next visit. The King Salmon and Crab & Truffle Pasta were full of dynamic flavors causing me to have serious food envy! After filling up with shared dishes and sides, I was sad to say there was not room for dessert but the staff was absolutely attentive, pleasant, and made the whole experience an excellent one. I think I will be back for date night next time since the atmosphere can lean on the romantic side with the low lighting and beautiful views! I look forward to coming back very soon! read more

Looking for a great date spot or just a tasty dining experience? TRIS at The Woodlands Waterway is the spot! I took my fine figured Missy there for a great Happy Hour food experience. Sat at a bar top table with a window street view. Shawn our server quickly greeted us and immediately got to work. We ordered up the Brussel Sprouts, Meatballs, and TRIS burger. Shawn was a great help and he earns The Yelp SERVER of the year award!!! Shawn went above and behind for the Boos birthday celebration. If you are an English Muffin fan the TRIS burger is for you! I was blown away by the size of this burger for Happy Hour. One of the most memorable tasting burgers I've ever consumed. The Ghost in the Darkness for this meal was the Brussel Sprouts!!!

Oh this is gonna kill me to write best but I have to be honest. All in all, the service was great. But we had more misses than we had hits for food. Now I wanna be fair with this. I ended up not feeling well completely separately from this meal. And I say that because it was a sinus issue not because of my stomach. This is the reason why I'm choosing to do 4 stars instead of 3. I honestly believe that I need to try the restaurant again to see if what I eat is more my taste. Service overall was pretty decent but I will say we were a bit disappointed as people who were celebrating things had signs at their table and other people like myself did not. Overall, it was a pretty expensive meal so I am bummed about it. And I'm probably only willing to try happy hour just because of the cost. read more

First time coming here and not loving my meal, we were sat in a conference room type area which I didn't know existed before, it was brightly lit and really loud and not at all the ambiance of main dining room, which for the price of the meal is part of what I pay for. So ambience was lost as soon as we sat down. We got lobster bisque and lobster toast which were great. My husband got fried chicken which he said was just messy to eat and not really anything to write home about. My friends both got broiled oysters, the presentation was awesome but they came out cold and they almost had too many flavors including an overwhelming fishy taste. I tried one and as a lover of oysters thought they're either not broiled enough or they're a very acquired taste, because they had the texture of raw oysters still. For the money $500 inc tip- everyone got 2 drinks- our meal was underwhelming. I feel Tris used to be a bit more upscale - dress code and setting wise. Could be the holiday / busy season..... read more

The Woodlands Waterway complex is really well designed with a great safe city feel. Super comfortable to stroll around and enjoy the shops and restaurants or concerts.

Atmosphere is slick modern cozy, feel without being too pretentious. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and seated promptly.

We made a last-minute trip to Woodlands. We wanted to make the most out of our trip so we didn't eat anything until we got there. We decided to do tapas so we can explore a lot of places. Tris was our fifth restaurants. We sat at the bar and ordered brulee'd grapefruit martini, Korean butter poached crab and octopus. As I look back, I thought the crab was good but needed something light to offset the creamy sauce. I probably missed the kimchi pancake. As for the octopus, we had charred octopus earlier so we curious how it taste with avocado. The octopus was very tender and tasted great with avocado. The brulee'd grapefruit martini was a beautiful looking drink but was too sweet. Carmelized sugar on the grapefruit didn't bring anything unique, tasted like sweet grapefruit juice. Since we were at the bar, service was as expected. We can't say much since were only there for apps and drinks. Same with the ambiance. read more

Many years ago, I went to TRIS when it used to be Hubbell & Hudson. Since then, the restaurant has been reimagined as TRIS. Same chef, different menu. I stopped by for Houston Restaurant Weeks with a friend for dinner before a concert at Cynthia Woods. TRIS Is located right on the waterway close to a bunch of bars and restaurants. I wish I would have known this prior to stopping by but if you park in the garage right by the restaurant, they will validate your ticket. I loved Hubbell & Hudson back in the day and I love TRIS just as much. The service is what you would expect from fine dining. Precise, friendly, and consistent---although our waiter was a bit salesy for my taste. Every single dish I had for HRW was impeccable. The presentation of the food and the taste of each dish was 5/5 stars. Easy. TRIS isn't cheap but you're paying for quality. Already looking forward to my next visit! read more
