    Whiskey Glazed Salmon

    I came here twice and I enjoyed the food here. It's a laid back atmosphere with a sports bar feel. Staff very friendly and attentive. Was able to walk in and be seated right away.

    We arrived around lunch time and were sat right away. Our server Michelle came and took our orders. It took about 10 minutes to our food. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and my friend ordered the Steak Bowl. We both enjoyed our meals. We both were celebrating our birthdays and Michelle was so nice to bring us both complementary desserts. It was a warm cookie brownie with vanilla ice cream on top. It was so good!

    This is a great spot to have lunch or enjoy happy hour. It's spacious inside and there's also outside seating. Service was quick yet attentive. Our sever Michelle even gave us a birthday dessert that was so sweet yet unexpected. I tried the steak bowl and the flavors were excellent

    Always the best Whiskey Black Pepper Wings, Chili Garlic Edamame and Poke Nachos! They've also got a great Happy Hour food menu during the day & late night Happy Hour drinks in the evening... Great service from Eduardo on a Wednesday night :)) and the vibe of the place was perfect!-- Lively, but not too crazy, with lots of folks inside having great convos.

    Stopped by Yard House with a group of friends around 10pm on a Thursday night. We were just looking for a chill spot for drinks and apps after having dinner earlier, and it hit the spot. Our waitress was very nice and made the experience even better. We ordered the four cheese spinach dip and Miguel's queso -- both were really good. I especially liked that the queso came with flour tortillas as well as chips, which was a nice touch. We also had a couple rounds of amaretto sours, and they were tasty and well made. Overall, Yard House is a Happy Hour go-to for a reason -- it's a solid choice for apps and drinks.

    Spicy Jambalaya

    I have been to yard house multiple times but I like this newer menu much better. It has a vast variety of options. I LOVED chicken enchilada stack. It came as a surprise. Firecracker shrimp was great as well. I would definitely come back. We usually visit for my husbands favorite spicy jambalaya but this time it was little disappointing, there was less sauce and the flavors seem to have changed.

    Delicious cocktails and huge selection of draft beers. We had the Lavender Drop, the Kish & Tell ( soju, cranberry, lychee puree and lime juice)

    Joined a colleague for dinner at the City Centre location. Opted to park in the garage and take the bridge across from the Norris convention center over to the Hotel Sorrel to take the elevator down to avoid the cold weather. Everyone I encountered on the staff along the way were polite and courteous. Be sure to stop by the restroom area near the old Fireside Lounge to take a selfie on their beautiful mural wall to commemorate the evening. At the restaurant, I was greeted at the entrance by the hostess. I was quickly seated, but opted for a different table in a less crowded and quiet area. My request was easily accommodated. We ordered the Rosemary Lemon Drop and a House Margarita. Both were delicious and great portion sizes. For dinner, we chose the garlic noodles, firecracker shrimp, and fish and fries. The garlic noodles were well seasoned, and the shrimp had the perfect amount of batter. They were deep fried yet still soft and crunchy at the same time, tossed in an asian sauce. The fish and fries were a large portion with 3 filets and ample fries. The staff checked on us regularly and was polite and courteous. We didn't feel rushed and enjoyed the music and the vibe. The restrooms were clean and well stocked with the necessities. This is always one of my favorite places to dine. Will definitely come back again.

    Short and sweet follow up to my previous reviews. Service and atmosphere: Always spot on in both areas. Food and drinks: Great selection in both categories. Food is always well prepared and presented. Very good flavours and seasoning. We have not been disappointed even once. Pricing: $$ - worth the atmosphere, location and food quality.

    Happy hour menu
    Dena D.

    This is my holy grail of happy hour! They have happy hour every weekday from 3-6pm. Happy hour gives you half off select apps, half off all pizzas, and discounts on alcohol. My friends and I would order a bunch of different appetizers and pizza to share. We always leave super full and sometimes we still have left overs. The portions are more than enough to share with people. The time for the food to come out was fast but I thought the service this time around was slow and not as attentive. I liked that you could choose from outdoor seating or indoor and that they have sports to watch while you eat. If you need a happy hour place to go with friends or on a date this is the place!

    We've gone to yard house for a while now, and while the staff and service has always been great the food and restaurant isn't quite what it was. At our last visit the portions were smaller which is fine if the prices followed but of course they didn't. Know where the economy is at we get it. But they really couldn't be bothered with presentation in some cases lol. I ordered birria tacos and the tacos were good but small and the beans were suspiciously similar to what you would get at the grocery store. In a can. Plus the restaurant wasn't clean this last time, I also slipped and fell like 3 times on slippery and dirty floors. I almost felt like I need to break out my old slip resistant shoes from my own restaurant days. I really hope they put some effort into maybe a mini revamp cause I'd hate to see this place turn into a bland franchise

    Yummy. On HH menu.

    Basically Dave & Buster's without the games. Loud, busy, and full of drinks and bar food. The staff were hustling around like worker ants. There's a wide variety of food and drinks, though it's mostly glorified bar food , still, what we ordered was good. I liked being able to order drinks, dessert, and a few food items and even pay right from the handheld device without needing to call the waitress.

    The food was meh. More of a place to go to drink and have some bar bites than sit down and eat. The pizza was hard to eat since the toppings kept sliding off. The chips tasted a little stale too. The service was amazing! The waitstaff are very attentive and nice. The also check on you. The place is busy, even on weeknights. It's in a nice area and has a lot of bar space. Would recommend coming here to watch a sports game or have a drink.

As the night went on the place began to fill and the ladies who came in for the live performance liven up the warm space and really set the vibes as did a version of Sade. This is a cute spot for date night or just catching up in the Memorial City center area.

Lots of TVs to watch the Olympic Games while you wait for dinner. I liked watching the open pizza oven. They make a lot of pizzas here. The Eat, Drink, HTX menus are a great way to try new restaurants while giving back to the Houston Food Bank. A starter, an entree and a dessert. $25 for dinner. So many choices on this menu. A great deal while helping out those in need. "Started" with the Turkey Samosas. Four crispy pastries that are filled with seasoned ground turkey, potatoes and parsley served with cucumber yogurt. Delicious! The Ember & Greens Soup that my family had was hot, hot, hot and so tasty. The fresh soup was filled with a blend of spinach, parsley, and cilantro with chickpeas, caramelized onions, pinto beans and quinoa. My FIL polished off his bowl! For dinner, we all had the Blackened Salmon. The salmon with lemon butter and avocado salsa served on roasted carrots, broccoli and potatoes and a bed of quinoa. It was a full plate, which we all took home for dinner the next day. Note: it is quite buttery. My FIL had his butter and avocado salsa on the side which worked for him. I loved mine as is. Even though we were pretty full, we still enjoyed dessert. The tiramisu was so indulgent. Loved the layered mascarpone custard, whipped cream, coffee liqueur and coffee-soaked ladyfingers. My FLI had the Chia Seed Pudding with fresh berries. What a great meal. We had a slight hiccup where the appetizers came slightly after the main meal was served, but they were so honest about what happened that I still have to give them five stars for their food and their service. Would try them again for their generous, delicious meals. Lots of parking. Water glasses were frequently filled both with and without meals. Thank you for a really nice Sunday night dinner with family.

It was a beautiful day, so it would have been the perfect day to eat outside if you like that. I'm an eat indoors kind of person, but if you like to eat outside, they do have a few tables for that. I was meeting a friend for lunch and she suggested Ember & Green. We really couldn't decide what to order, so we decided to order a few things and share them. We started off with the Persian Cucumber Sald. It had Persian cucumbers, heirloom cherry tomatoes, red onions, and Kalamata olives with oil and lemon dressing and topped with parsley and feta cheese. Let me tell you, thats lemon dressing was delicious! It went so well with the cucumbers. Next we ordered Blackened salmon with lemon butter and avocado salsa, served with charred broccolini, roasted carrots and potatoes on a bed of cilantro green pea quinoa. I'm really not a huge fan of salmon, but I'm trying to like it more by trying it different ways. The spices that they put on the salmon were really good, not too spicy, but also, not bland. It was also cooked perfectly. Oh, and that lemon butter... that lemon butter made the meal if you ask me. It was so good. So good in fact, I had to try and make salmon with lemon butter at him the very next week. Mine didn't come out as good as Ember & Greens, but it was decent. That just means that I need to leave the cooking to the professional. For dessert we decided to share the Skillet Cookie. Its a house made chocolate chip cookie baked in a cast iron skillet and topped with Amy's Mexican Vanilla Ice Cream and chocolate sauce. This was the only thing that we ordered that was a nope. I dont know what happened, but it didn't seem like it was cooked at all in the middle. We took a few bites, that was all we could eat of it. All and all, it was a good experience and I will go back. I'll just skip dessert next time.

I came by right before the dinner rush so I was immediately seated at the bar and greeted by the iconic "Irasshaimase!" (welcome in Japanese) by every wait staff so that was fun! The wait staff were very attentive and proactive so ordering the food and getting it took maybe less than 10 minutes. Onto the food: I originally came in because the website mentioned tsukemen and maybe that's my fault for not checking again on yelp itself (whoopsies!) but of course, they did not have it BUT they still had very solid options for ramen. I chose the signature because I wanted to see what Mensho was known for since my family has tried it when they first opened and enjoyed it. The noodles themselves were phenomenal and just the right amount of bounciness and chew. The chicken broth was so rich and creamy, you could pretty much classify it as tonkotsu because of how fatty and buttery it tasted. There was a trio of meats that were delicious but the only one that stood out to me the most was the chicken chashu because it was juicy and flavorful. The eggs, pretty solid and it came with two halves so essentially a whole egg which is my favorite part about eating ramen. The ambiance: it's trendy and aesthetically pleasing! However, it's gonna be busy and loud so if you're expecting a quiet, low-key joint, I would recommend coming in the morning when they open instead of around dinner time. The decor was gorgeous and the music was at a moderate volume. Final rating: I would come again and definitely bring some friends to join in because there's a lot of unique options and unfortunately, I can only eat for one so maybe next time, I'll try their Duck Matcha ramen.
