Our organization had a happy hour social event in the outdoor patio area and were blown away by the service. I would certainly recommend it to anyone. I'll definitely be back. I didn't eat anything other than the Brussel sprout shareable appetizer which was tasty. The chef was a little too heavy on the aioli but other than that it was tasty. The person next to me had the crispy shrimp and it's looked amazing. read more

Recommendation: I loved the food and the service, and I would definitely return. Pros: --the food was very good and the portions were perfect. Not too much, and not too little. --the waitstaff was very attentive and accommodating. --they play really good music --the restaurant is part of a complex, so you're able to finish eating and go have a drink or a cigar right next door. That was pretty cool. Cons: --parking is a joke. You can essentially fight for street parking or pay 20 bucks to valet. --there is a time limit on dining. While we weren't forced to stick to the 2 hour dining time limit, there was a sign on the table stating such. --the bathrooms can definitely be better. They were clean, but I think they could be better, that it's located in upscale river oaks. --you have to use a credit card to make a reservation on Open Table. I guess, I get it, but it's annoying. --at one point, the music was way too loud. read more

Black owned business located in the Upper Kirby Area. Scale: 1 Lowest 10 Highest Location: 8 Ambiance: 6 Food: 8 - I have had Gumbo, Fried Chicken, greens, Mac and Cheese. The food is good it's just everything else. Service: 4 - The service is not all that great. Waiters and waitresses take forever to come back around once seated not only that the gratuity is included. Be sure to use a credit card or debt here, because when I came I paid in cash $50 my food was about $31.73. When she came back with the ticket no change and the gratuity coincidentally rounded to $50 perfectly. I was pissed the restaurant or waiters are clearly scamming. If you pay with card and they do the same then you can call your bank and dispute the transaction. You're welcome! Parking: 0 - Always pay for parking in the lot or Uber my car was towed and several others. You were warned. read more

So my friend had a private party here . 1. It's like three different restaurants / lounges in 1 area. It was cool but different . 2. It was an old ppl crowed like paw paws everywhere 50 plus outside looking at the ladies and calling them over very annoying . 3. The area we were put in was nice at first glade but when you got close you saw a lot of imperfections in the walls and lights as if someone painted themselves 4 . The food was awful! Legit felt like frozen food from Walmart of H‑E‑B with like a sauce drizzled on top. The wings were good , the chicken poppers were okay . But the salmon was a no go , the fries was a no go . It was just not good. The owner seems very nice but the food really ruined it and then the prices of the bad food like yeah I won't be back read more

Almost 4 stars but here's where they went awry I booked our party of 4 Sunday brunch reservations on Open Table with no issues. A couple of days later they call me asking for a deposit of $10 for the reservation. They explained that it was in case we didn't show that the server wouldn't be basically left out. It's weird to me because we have brunched all over Houston, and I cannot recall being asked to make a deposit for a small party. I understand we are in a pandemic and times are hard... it was weird, but I get where they are coming from. Parking... the valet is $20. Yes, TWENTY bucks! There is almost no street parking so get ready! So $30 before we even get in the place..... It was later explained to me that there are some $10 spaces but I guess they were already gone at noon....strange, but ok. The ambiance was nice. The place is covered in beautiful artwork which is for sale. I honestly saw a few pieces that I could definitely go back for. The music is for the 30+ crowd, which was totally appropriate for Sunday brunch The food was exactly as pictured and REALLY good. No one was disappointed. It was a little weird they didn't bring all the food out together, but it isn't so bad that my food doesn't have to get cold waiting on other people in our party's food. The menu is small but not bad. They are missing a breakfast plate for those who kind of want the regular eggs, meat, potatoes, and bread option. I hope they add something like that in the future. I also found it weird that gratuity of 18% was added in already. It's common for large parties, but a party of 4 seemed strange. Our server Toshairra WAS AMAZING! She seriously was giving us that Chick Fil A vibe. She asked everyone's names and addressed us by them every time she interacted with us. We could not sing her praises loud enough!!!! On our way out the owner gave us a tour of the entire building which is broken up into several bars and lounges each with their own name and vibe. There is a cigar bar, a jazz lounge, a wine bar, and several private areas available for rent. For those with COVID concerns, the staff all had on masks. As we were leaving there was a table set up at the entrance with an employee taking temperatures and a bottle of hand sanitizer. They do appear to be limiting capacity, however the owner said that on Fri/Sat night it's wall to wall so keep that in mind. I know they have no control over the lack of parking in the area, I just think $20 is a bit much added to requesting a deposit for a small reservation. We will definitely try them again when this pandemic is over and see if maybe some things change. I see this place doing big things in the days to come! read more

Came for a boozy brunch, left with a food baby. COME HUNGRY. What I liked: // Simple menu I'm indecisive, so huge menus tend to overwhelm me. The brunch menu offers 5-6 soul food options. There's your standard fare shrimp and grits or chicken and waffles, but I recommend the soul food plate. This baby comes with THREE fried chicken wings, oxtails, grits, yams AND collard greens. I told you to come hungry! // Great Service Everyone was extremely friendly and wore masks the entire time. // Fun Atmosphere Loved all the artwork on the walls. The r&b playlist was also a great vibe for the brunch scene. Feedback: // Parking sucks a$$ After driving around 5 minutes, I realized Upper Kirby Bistro shares the property with several other businesses. There's not really a clear sign, so it can be confusing when you pull up. Since there isn't a designated parking lot, $20 valet or (very limited) street parking are the only options. Valet is offered about a block from the entrance. No thanks. TL;DR: Uber/Lyft here if you can. // Food was lukewarm Look, the food was good! But I could tell it had been sitting under a heat lamp. It definitely wasn't made to order, which is fine! I just preferred it be served hot. read more

Upper Kirby Bistro - Soul food plate! Fried chicken, oxtails, grits, yams and collards! - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Not much to say, food wasn't that great . We ordered the steak plate which wasn't worth 40 bucks at all. The spinach was horrible with garlic thrown on top. Definitely should consider changing the sides of that dish . My husband got the fried chicken it was good. (Probably best dish there ) collard greens nothing special. The chicken Parmesan bites were very basic. The sauce saved them. Would have been nice to have the sauce as a dip on the side. But overall not worth a second visit. Drinks weren't all that either . Also noticed staff removing masks quite often. read more

I ordered the F.M. Fried chicken, and the chicken was actually pretty good and seasoned well. But the collard greens and mashed potatoes were blah. I was with a party of 7. 4 other people had the creole salmon and weren't very fond of it, even though the waitress highly recommended it. The main consensus was that it was just OK, and lacked seasoning. Not to mention the salmon being cooked medium for everyone, instead of asking how it would be preferred cooked. Same with the Parmesan bites. No seasoning what so ever. Drinks were tasty with a generous amount of alcohol. I was celebrating my birthday there and was given a complimentary glass of champagne for my guest and I. Loved that. The atmosphere was cool, but service for me that day was ehhh. I like the overall concept of Five Central. Love that it's also black owned. I'd be back again for drinks and to hangout, but I'm good on the food, unless I'm craving fried chicken :) read more

Made reservations for my parents for a birthday dinner and was ashamed of how unorganized it was and how it looked. From the picture it looks like a nice upscale restaurant, when m dad was seated he said he sat at a card table in some unstable chairs! The reservations was for 5pm on a Sunday. As they wait to be served, was told they still had to wait another hour to order as they was switching from brunch to dinner, so then my dad asked to just order and appetizer and again told no and to order drinks. My dad said him and his wife got up and left and went to another restaurant as they was to good looking to be treated any kind of way. It's really sad when you help your father plan a surprise dinner for his wife and they are both highly disappointed! read more

to start off with everyone there is very nice and helpful, but our waitress took a very long time with everything and didn't really give us the best guest experience. moving on to their "cocktails"... it tasted very much like straight juice and vodka, not pleasing at all. I had the catfish and grits with OXTAIL gravy which was unpleasing because it just doesn't go together so if you do get this dish, get without gravy! But the catfish was good. M read more

Upper Kirby was fyeeeee. Danielle was our server and she was amazing! She was down to earth and helpful with suggestions. I had the shrimp and grits and some pancakes (cause baby I had a hangover and needed all of it) and it was soooo goood. I'm visiting from Chicago and Houston been every other place with the food but this was bomb. 9/10 recommend. -1 point cause the boudin balls are not it but my friends had the basic breakfast meal and we had mimosa carafes and it was good. We love a good Black owned business! Wishing y'all all the blessings. read more

Won't be returning due to service and mediocre food: Parking: Valet is $20. Park on the street or around the corner. I can't imagine any place charging $20 to park Also, they need better signage because it was definitely hard to find. Service: Let me start by saying that everyone was genuinely friendly. BUT the service was unfortunately horrible. We had reservations for when it opened at 5 so you would have thought the service would be great because hardly anyone was in there (we were the only ones for a while). The wait team seemed fully staffed but I am not sure about the kitchen. They did more time chatting with each other than checking on customers Our waitress was very kind but we had to wait forever to be asked about our drinks, we had to call her over to let her know we were ready to order, I had to get up and tell her to cancel one of my food orders because it took so long and was still not there AFTER I had finished my meal. No one ever came to say what the delay was, as it was an appetizer (that I ordered at the same time as my meal). With that being said, I will say that when I got up to tell her I no longer wanted it, she said she would still bring it out and that the manager would comp it. I do appreciate that but there was no communication in the in-between and we should not have to find someone to tell us there is a hold up. When we finished our meals, it took forever for someone to come clean our table off and our waiter didn't ask us about dessert we had to ask her. Last but not least, we waited probably 20 min for our desserts to come out (only 2). And again never had anyone come by to check on us or tell us there was a delay or it would be coming. We actually waited so long that we almost cancelled the desserts because we were no longer in the mood for it. Food: Shrimp and lobster ravioli (3/5): The menu says it is $42 but it was actually only $34 (they should correct the menu). It was not bad, but still overpriced (imo) for how much you got. Fried Cauliflower Bites (5/5): The best thing I had, so I am thankful that they still came out and I was comp'd for them because they were very good. Peach Cobbler (3/5): It was good but too sweet. They could have left off the powdered sugar. Fried chicken: I did not eat it but was told by people at my table that it was "ok," "decent," and "nothing to write home about". They did get 3 generously sized pieces and it looked good. Smoked Turkey Collard Greens : I didn't eat but was told they were "flavorful." The biggest issue is that they looked like the greens you get in the bags at H‑E‑B where they are cut horizontally with the spines in them. Who wants to eat greens with the spines?! She couldn't finish them because it was too much work to eat around. The main reason we all decided we would not be returning is because of the service. The food was ok enough to maybe give it another try, but the poor service and lack of communication killed it for us. I hope they can do better with the turnaround time in the kitchen. I think had there been communication around the reason for the long wait times, we would have been more understanding, but the fact that we just sat there and waited and waited (on multiple occasions) is what made the service so disappointing. Last but not least...when we got there, at the bottom of the menu it said that for parties more than 8, they don't split checks (pretty standard), for parties of 6 or more, they add 18% gratuity (also pretty common), but then it said "or for final bills over $100 (they add 18% gratuity)... I have never heard of that before. I feel like they need to pay their staff better if they are relying on tips. I am rooting for them to get it together and succeed but I will be cheering them on from the outside. They have a ton of potential. read more

I definitely recommend this place for happy hour! read more

This place rocks. Everything is delicious. The chicken, oxtails, and waffles are mighty fine. Pro tip - order the gumbo, it is legit!

This one hurts because I really wanted to like it. Tried the soulfood sampler and it was not good - greens had vinegar, overcooked and bland chicken wings, undercooked yams and bland cornbread. I was not a fan of the oxtail - taste like the sauce has red wine and tomato in it and I am.not a fan of the sweet undertones. The fish and grits were well cooked but bland. The sauce was the oxtail gravy which I'm not a fan of. I even asked to try the creole sauce but it taste like tomato soup. The best thing was the service. The service was amazing but the food was so bland and/or overcooked that I can not recommend and will not return. read more

Arrived at the restaurant and was met by valet who asked for $20. Open Table indicated there was a charge for valet parking of $10, so was disappointed. No other option as street parking was full. Really disappointed that a restaurant charges more than $5-$7 for valet parking (complimentary with gratuity is best), but very upset it was more than promised. Feedback to restaurant: drove around the corner and had a nice meal at Relish and valet was complimentary. I'll go back to Relish but your restaurant has lost a potential new customer who was willing to give it a try. read more

Went here for brunch to celebrate my wedding anniversary. We did not have a reservation. They sat us in the to-go area. It also looked to have been a grad party so that's probably why we were seated in that area. I wasn't tripping because we were the only guest in that area for pretty much our entire experience. I know I took pictures but can't seem to find them but I had the grilled fish and grits(with oxtail gravy) and my husband had the southern platter (it had fried chicken, yams, greens, I think oxtails, can't remember if there's anything else). I will be honest. I wasn't wow'd by anything. I do encourage everyone to try this place at least once! As far as parking, we did not do the valet. We were able to find a space a couple blocks down on the street read more

Houston Restaurants Weeks review. Every year Houstonians get excited to try restaurants around the city they haven't tried before and donate to the Houston Food Bank. With that in mind this was our first time here. We were seated quickly upon arrival. Ordered drinks and picked our three selected courses. It took 25 minutes to get our first drink and appetizers. Actually our apps arrived first then she went to the bar to get our drinks. My food felt and tasted forgotten or rushed. Lacked flavor and spice. I hoped to really like this place but it was underwhelming. I would also suggest getting noise cancellation foam for the ceiling. It was so loud. We couldn't even enjoy dinner conversation because we couldn't hear each other. Every one else's conversations were echoing around the establishment. read more

Amazing service and food. Love the tower mimosa. Grown and sexy vibe. This spot is a must visit when in Houston.

Hello All, I don't normally do reviews. However, I believe I would be doing an injustice to my fellow citizens if I did warn you of this place. The ambience was very nice and inviting. Great look. I ordered the Creole Salmon. The description of meal was very tantalizing. However when the m Al arrived I was very disappointed to say the least. The salmon was extremely dry and overcooked. The shrimp was tough as well. To top it off the entire meal was bland. I mean no taste whatsoever. My companions ordered nachos and the other the gumbo. I was told the nachos were good and the gumbo extremely subpar. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else to eat, unless you are in the mood for nachos. read more

I have lived in Houston a long time, and I actually lived two blocks from this business until March 2021. Even when it was Mixology, I didn't know it! A colleague of mine told me about Upper Kirby Bistro and Five Central as an even venue in October at the time I was planning our company Christmas party. We ate lunch at Upper Kirby Bistro, which was spot-on delicious, and I will be back again and again. But then.... I saw the available venues at Five Central, and the hostess recommended Bar XX3 (Bar 23) to me for our size of 35-40 people. It's an L-shaped bar space with barstools and lounge seating that opens up onto the Red Room, which is the main venue with DJs and live music. This event space could not have been better!! It was so perfect, and the fact that I had no idea this was here makes me thing I should shout from the rooftops for people like me who may need a party place but are walking around clueless. The location is perfect as a central location. The catering, which they brought in from elsewhere, was fantastic. I ordered us a lot of food, so they put it in the Red Room VIP section and roped off the area. While I was in the private Bar XX3, where we have our own excellent bartender for the night, I didn't realize at first that we had like 20 people eating dinner in the Red Room! So, our crowd of 35-40 looked bigger than it was, which was really nice for all of us to feel the party atmosphere and not just feel like the small - but growing - company that we are. It was awesome!! SO much fun! For reference for people planning to party, the fees were reasonable. I paid for the rental of the private room from 4:00 - 9:00pm with a personal bartender and open bar (house liquors, wine, any beer), more than enough food for everyone, and I paid the valet for everyone, as well. All in, the price per head came to about $150, which is absolutely perfect for all that we got. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Unfortunately I have to give two stars. I recently visited during Houston Cigar Week which a patio event was held. I have NO affiliation with HCW, I'm just a patron. Despite having advanced notice (fliers were circulated more than a month in advance naming this venue) this establishment was not prepared. There was only one server, I believe her name was Jade for the ENTIRE PATIO, easily 75+ people for about 3 hours. We arrived at 630 and other than the buss boys clearing tables she didn't get any help until about 930. She did a great job despite the circumstances, however when I went to use the restroom I noticed several employees at the hostess area laughing and acting a fool. They needed to be on the patio working! Management did ZERO damage control. After waiting more than an hour for my entree, it looked scrumptious but was not done. See the pictures. I took it to go because it was about 1030 and I was just over it. Attempted to eat it the next day and NOPE. Which is such a shame because it looked amazing. I'm so thankful that I didn't get sick! I called the next day and left a message for a manager and have yet to get a call back and also left them a message on Open Table which is how I made my reservation and still nothing. DO BETTER! ****Edited to add**** In my review I stated that I've reached out to this business twice to have the situation rectified and in the comment from their business manager below, I'm being asked to contact the restaurant AGAIN. I absolutely will not. Not sure why I'm being tasked with trying to rectify their error. I'm quite sure that my contact information from open table where I initially booked my reservation AND also expressed my displeasure is still available. read more

Positives: the drinks were very good. Good variations in flavor and strong. The service was decent. Not too quick or friendly but not rude either. Negatives: Our food left a lot to be desired. Fried Chicken skin was seasoned but the actual meat of the chicken was not. The Brussels had excessive sauce on them. Initially ordered the bistro fries but they too had excessive sauce on them that tasted like a mix of watery honey mustard and French dressing. We sent those back and asked for regular French fries. Those fries came straight out of the freezer from a bag into some oil or the oven and on the plate. We had to put our own seasoning on the fries. The coconut curry wings were an Indian curry and I thought would be a Jamaican curry due to the description of the restaurant. The peach cobbler tasted store bought instead of homemade and had a ton of watery cool whip on top. Lastly the decor is terrible. This restaurant used to be Corner Table where the decor was light, airy, and welcoming with a refreshing light color palette and fresh flowers. The current decor is dark, damp, and does not portray a welcoming ambiance. This combined with the lackluster food does not inspire patrons to want to return. I would love to see this place restored to its former glory in terms of food quality and ambiance but until then I sadly won't be returning. read more

There's nothing I love more than superb customer service at a restaurant and our server Joshua DID JUST THAT! I came to Upper Kirby Bistro tonight with six girlfriends for a Galentine's outing! We made rest around and we're seated once our full party arrived. Joshua was our server and the most pleasant attitude throughout our entire visit. Even when things are rate getting busy and backed up, he made sure to keep us updated and check in on us ti make sure we were good. Now let's get into the food! I ordered a side car for my cocktail which I enjoyed. It was pretty strong which was perfect for me! I started off with the bistro fries for my appetizer but also ordered the 3 course meal option that they had in which I got the gumbo, pork chops and donut bread pudding. The bistro fries were freakin fire!! Whatever that sauce aioli sauce is they they use is sooooo good!! The gumbo was okay. The rue didn't give me your traditional New Orleans gumbo but the shrimp that was in it was so big and well seasoned that I couldn't even complain. It also seemed to come with basmati rice which I found to be different. The pork chops (which also came with Mac and Cheese) was pretty good. I won't lie, I wasn't a big fan of the donut bread pudding. It had way too many berries/berry sauce for my liking and it also had a weird crunchy taste at the bottom (which I assume may be the donut) but it wasn't my favorite. I sampled the spinach dip from a friend and i noticed they used wonton chips as opposed to regular tortilla chips for the dip. Overall we had a great dinner with great service. Also the restaurant is located inside of 5 central so after we ate, we went to a couple of the bars and the cigar lounge to turn up for the rest of the night. read more

This is located in 5 Central. It's a nice vibe but they don't season the food. My chicken tasted like it was just thrown in the grease no true flavor. The waffles were bland. Everything was edible just over all bland. No one finished their plate. Other people in my party said the grits weren't that great either. I would not come back here. Also, valet is 20 dollars if you can't find street parking. I just find it ridiculous to pay to park just to enter an establishment. read more

The atmosphere was nice; however, I was not a fan for the food.

I had shrimp and grits, not tasty at all and too much seafood sauce. We also had "applewood bacon" nothing special about it. The "sampler" soul food plate had SPICY greens, one oxtail, and the grits were watery. I feel like it's over priced for portion size and taste...I have had way better for a reasonable price. Our waitress was wonderful - her name was Danni. read more
