There is a matcha restaurant right next door (called "Isa"), make sure you aren't standing in line for that one, make sure you go inside the actual restaurant (unlike us). They have a kiosk that you can order from and have a pretty extensive menu, so many flavors, sauces, and customization add-ons. I went with the classic Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Waffle Sandwich Deluxe (add-on) + HOT Honey substitution (add-on), side of regular fries, side of White Cheddar Mac & Cheese. We didn't go during a busy moment so it took only about 10 minutes for them to make our order. Their sandwiches are to DIE for, I would recommend you ask for your sandwich to be cut in half. The chicken was fresh, sauce was sweet and flavorful, they put the right amount of sauce along with tomatoes, lettuce and other add-ons. My rating of the sandwich is 9.4/10, it is literally the perfect sandwich if the sandwich wasn't disintegrating on me, but I think that is a good thing, wouldn't want a crunchy waffle sandwich. The mac & cheese was also very good, would give a 8.1/10, if they crusted their mac & cheese, it would be 10 times better. Would also recommend a bit of a kick, but it complemented the meal pretty well. All in all, this was a great place to stop by for lunch, they had a patio that we sat outside and ate at on a beautiful day. The front cashier was very helpful, walking us through the entire menu and giving us his best recommendations, definitely bettered our experience. For the quality of the meal, the pricing is also very reasonable as well. I would recommend if you are around the area, to stop by and enjoy a meal at this establishment. They have another location as well, which I didn't know (hopefully quality is consistent across the board because quality was great during this visit.

When we were finished with order a young guy came out and asked if we had any questions. We said no, but a lady came up and asked for whipped cream. This was the beginning of a marathon session that I can only liken to a Saturday Night Live skit. The young guy explained you had to order it with your meal, the gues explained she didn't see it on the screen, .. it went ON & On. .. finally the woman said could you get it for me??? He. .. pretty much acts like "no", he could not. Telling her she had to order on screen. She had to pay for it. The seriously patient customer is going along with all of this. .. she was being SO patient! At one point the young man even starts to tell her that he doesn't think it s whipped cream. .. I m thinking surely there is a camera somewhere hidden. .. This truly has to be a joke?!! At this point, I m frustrated that I wasn't filming this UNBELIEVABLE scene. I had to quit listening. .. I did not time this interaction, but it definitely spanned several minutes! Eventually I saw the kid bring her the tiniest of tiny portion cups ( no lid) that I can only assume was whipped cream or whatever concoction the employee thought it to be. .. I m still in shock to have witnessed this absurd scene. After we sat for awhile a young female employee came out . .. a forefinger and middle finger each inside holding 2 cups in her fingers. She looks at our receipt and says did you have 1 or 2 drinks? My husband says 1, but I wanted water. She releases her finger from one cup and turns with one cup back to her spot behind the scenes, making no reply to my husband. I m wondering if she was on the phone with an earpiece? She spoke loudly in a language I did not understand for the majority of our visit. .. Eventually, my husband mentioned maybe music would be nice? Help muffle her loud constant chatter? At one point she did come out sweeping the floor for a few minutes, but the entire time we were there, I did not see anyone while tables or clean up at drink/condiment station that was messy and sticky. Amazingly, enough We LOVED THE CHICKEN WAFFLE SANDWICH! but this is a poorly run restaurant, that needs a staffing fix. .. I m truly guessing family run business. I m hoping for whoever owns this, that they catch on now & fix things before it s too late. With frustrating service, and my sanitation concerns. .. I will try maybe once more because it truly was good food. But if it isn't any better I will not return again & I don't think I m alone.

Food 4/5 Service 4/5…read moreAmbiance 3.5/5 Press Waffle is a stand set up in Lyric Market, pretty close to the heart of Downtown Houston. Despite its location, it's surprisingly a quiet place - just some pretty light foot traffic in the morning I came. The waffle dish of choice today was "The Rancher" - a play on Chicken and Waffles as a sandwich, featuring syrup, powdered sugar, and ranch on the side. It was a truly creative choice, and it had many highs to it. The chicken was fried well, and the waffles were quite fluffy. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of the ranch and syrup together - maybe it's just personal taste though. The sandwich was also a bit small for the $14 price point - I left definitely wanting some more food in the belly. Overall, not a bad place. The food quality is there - it just may be a bit small portion size.

I went with the House Waffle and added 1 chicken tender. The waffle was really good. I'm glad I only ordered 1 chicken tender because I didn't care for it. It seemed to be a frozen tender fried in old grease. My daughter had the pizza waffle. She enjoyed but couldn't eat it all. There is also a Starbucks attached that serves drinks. Service was just okay. Nothing stood out. I'd definitely recommend the waffles.

We reviewed the menu and saw if there was anything outside of those items we wanted, and we didn't, so we went on over. We waited maybe 5 minutes and WOW. The wings and grits I got were fire yall, seriously. There was a table with sauces, seasonings, napkins, etc. And there was a counter with cups full of ice and a water station. We were set. The food was sooooooo good. I see why they have a line. They own a bunch of spots around town, including a Caribbean one I hope to get to one day. This is one I absolutely have to return to!

Cruiser Coffee (Organic) - That's some bitter coffee. It's not sweet, but it has a residual candy-like taste that resembles something I can't quite recall.

My orange juice connoisseur BFF gave it the thumbs-up of approval. We asked for a glass of ice, and it elevated the drink. Steak and Green Eggs (BFF) - Wow. Those green eggs--what's in them? What is in them? Delicious with buttered toast. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, and that steak? Seasoned so well, super fragrant, and moist. For a breakfast steak, it's great. Admittedly, it was lathered in butter. Annie's Low-Fat, High Protein Burrito - Not my favorite. It tasted a bit too healthy after that incredible steak, but as the flavor lingered, it grew on me. My favorite part was definitely the beans, which came through exceptionally clean. Lox Platter w. Everything Bagel - Exactly what the menu promised with high-quality ingredients. They were VERY generous with the capers, and I'm grateful for that. Refreshing, even with the two containers of cream cheese (I only used one). Their menu is so simple, but they've truly mastered what they serve. The service was very attentive, and our waiter was energetic and humorous. The atmosphere was pleasant and comforting--high-end without the snobby undertone. We'll definitely be back.

I'm not sure what their staff of 2 (who was nice) was doing back there but 20 minutes to get my order seemed a bit long. I wasn't in a rush but it just felt way longer than you should have wait for something like this. I enjoyed it just fine...but for the time it took, it didn't come off as anything special. It was pretty runny rather than a thicker milkshake that I was expecting.
