Barnaby's Cafe

Barnaby’s never disappoints. The food is consistently great, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Service is always friendly and attentive without being rushed. Whether it’s pizza, pasta, or one of their classic dishes, everything tastes fresh and well made. It’s one of those places you can count on every time. Highly recommend for family dinners or a casual night out.

I had lunch here and really loved it. The menu is great. Salads, sandwiches, a variety of hot dishes, breakfast all day, burgers, hotdogs. There are daily specials. Outdoor seating available. I had the Petaluma salad with chicken. It was huge and delicious. I drank iced tea, but they also have beer and wine. A very comfortable place. We will be back.

I've had the privilege of dining in three times in the past few months. The food has always been excellent, with great service. Outdoor seating is available, weather permitting, and the staff have always been friendly. 100% recommended.

Service was absolutely top notch! Brought our pup for some calm Saturday morning desensitizing. Our server greeted us with a bowl of water for her and a treat. Quick and frequent check-ins and refills on tea and lemonade. If you have a craving for a guilty pleasure like a chili dog, lord this is the place. Absolutely massive. Cute clean decor. Comfortable indoor or outdoor seating. Expansive menu with lots of customizations to offer.

Really good food with large portions. I tried the fried chicken salad, the best of both worlds. Healthy ish and very tasty. Kids eat free on Tuesdays so that was the vibe when I visited. There’s parking on site. The staff are friendly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a great experience at Barnaby’s Café! We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, so I honestly expected the service to be winding down — but I was completely wrong! The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and so accommodating. A huge shoutout to our server, Melanie, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was exceptional. Thank you, Barnaby’s, for ending our evening on such a high note!

It’s my second time at this branch and they never disappoint. The food is always good, service is good, and ambience was perfect. We didn’t have to wait to be seated even though we went there around 6PM. They have a promo that you get a bottle of white or red wine for every purchase of 2 entrees, so we had 2 bottles of wine for free. Perfect! Great deal!

Was delicious! I went to curb my craving for sweet potato fries and it definitely did! This sandwich was huge! Had to remove some of the meat, was about 2-3 sandwiches. A lot for me but I'm not complaining, Im sure many love it! The Cranberry mayo was delicious! I loved it all.

Shared a turkey sandwich with the $1 upgrade to sweet potato fries. Very good. Next time I will request extra cranberry mayo on the side. Added Swiss cheese. They split our plate for us without an upcharge. Great place to cool off after the museums.

My son loved the burger here when he came a while ago so I decided to give it a try! The place is very chill and the food smelled real good!! We ordered the baby back ribs and my son ordered the guacamole burger, I also asked for an appetizer which was spinach and artichoke dip with chips! And I did order carrot cake to go because I knew I was going to be pretty full!! The ribs were falling from the bone but!! Yes a but.. the ribs were a bit dry and had to chew many times!! The plates are pretty huge so had leftovers!! The fries are fresh and they give you tons of them!! I just wished the ribs were moist! My son did have a small issue with the seasoning on bread, too much!! Salty and too much pepper which he did wiped off. But the meat was perfectly medium rare and enough food!!! Oh! Almost forgot, the dip was very good but chips could be replaced with thinner less fried because they were pretty hard and not enjoyable The fresh lemonade is very refreshing and not that fake taste like other places. The carrot cake is very good!!! Very spongy and the creamy filling was delicious Service is good, very friendly and nice employees!!! I would have given 5 star but you have a couple things to work on!!

After having kids, I started appreciating family friendly restaurants like this place more and more. Barnaby's is a great place for lunch after a family visit at the nearby zoo or museum - they provide coloring books for the kiddos, offer a kid's menu, and the food is good. I usually gravitate towards the cheeseburger because you really can't go wrong with it. The meat is hefty and is cooked how you like it. I always order medium rare and it comes out right each time. It's not fancy nor ranked as my top five, but it's a good quality burger. The fries that it comes with are great and come in an abundance. You can't go wrong with their sweet potato option either! Having a kid menu is nice, though the chicken tenders that we ordered last time weren't good because they composed of mostly hard batter. Considering the price, I don't find it worth it and rather feed the kids a chicken quesadilla. Outdoor seating option is nice, especially during the early Spring when the weather permits. Around the back, they have lawn chairs, a foosball table, large Jenga blocks, and large connect-4 game. Parking is free. You just need to get validated by the waiter.

I routinely come to this Barnaby's and the one on West Gray. And I enjoy both. This location has outdoor seating and is dog friendly. They share a parking garage with two other restaurants and is free of charge on the ground floor. The wait staff is always friendly and accommodating. I've never had a bad experience. The food is delicious. My absolute favorite is the Lebanese Chicken Fattoush salad. It comes in a lunch and dinner size. They both come with the same large and flavorful chicken breast. The difference is the amount of salad greens and about $3 (can't remember the exact amount now because I now only get the dinner sized salad because I believe this is better value and can easily be two meals). The salad includes romaine lettuce, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, feta cheese and pita chips and is served with their homemade vinaigrette that I really love. I get it without onions and pita chips and with extra olives (picture attached). Also, in the attached picture is the Texas Chili Hamburger. Also very good. I love this place for lunch! Also, be sure to try their brownie with vanilla ice cream and lemonade (you get an entire carafe and can take whatever you don't drink to go).

We got there a little early for lunch and sat ourselves. We started with Hummus and they gave a good portion for a group of 3. We ordered Meatloaf and Lasagna and they were delicious with a great serving of food for the price; we had leftovers. I have a feeling id love almost everything on the menu. Would highly recommend. The service was also good. Convenient garage parking nearby also. The inside of the place was nice and colorful.

A great spot for a classic breakfast! We recently tried the Museum District location and had a good first experience. I ordered the buttermilk waffle and got a side of extra crispy bacon, which were both delicious. They also have a bacon waffle on the menu which could be fun to try next time. My parents both got the breakfast plate and really enjoyed it, especially the potatoes. We went on a Sunday morning around 9 am and there was plenty of seating. The service was great, and there was free parking in the nearby garage.

Barnaby's is great when you're in the area, and when it's great outside, though they have indoor seating too. It might be difficult to eat outside if your party is 6+ though. I got the chicken pesto salad sandwich, which I think of as the 'healthy sloppy joe', because it certainly is sloppyyyyy. If you are able to finagle it, it's quite a large portion though! Waffle fries are great, I think they can sub for sweet potato fries too. And don't forget the strawberry lemonade (with free refills!). There were plenty of options for every kind of eater. The servers were friendly and attentive, they did a great job with our waters and lemonades. Oh yeah, they got a puppy menu, so yeah, dog-friendly for sure.

I ordered corned beef and eggs. I was served some type of sliced, chopped beef with a lot of peppers. When I asked the wait staff she said, "It looks like that because it doesn't come out of a can". Wow, condescending much? I cook corned beef at least once a year, when we all pretend to be Irish, and know how it is supposed to look and taste. It's brined with saltpeter, potassium nitrite, for that unique taste and pink color. This meat was gray. I'm not a chef but I am a foodie and this was a fail. When I tried to talk to the staff they didn't bother to listen or get someone else to help me. No, won't be back.

Great place to come for a meal with family/friends and very kid-friendly. This is always the place we suggest going for lunch if we are in the museum district with a group that includes children. Service was fast. We came in a group of 6 adults and 4 children (one in a high chair) around 11:30am on a weekday during HISD winter break, and we were seated within one minute (the time it took them to move tables around for us) - amazing. They have a large kids menu (hamburger slides, chicken burger, chicken tenders, mac and cheese, impossible chicken nuggets, and maybe one or two other options that I am forgetting) that comes with 4 crayons that are hexagonal, so they don't roll off the table- nice. They also have a large adult menu with very generous portions - the salads are humungous! I got the pesto chicken salad sandwich - it was packed with so much chicken that I ate it with my fork until I could get it down to a more manageable size, and I still had plenty leftover to take home. It has a lot of pesto in it, so it's good if you like pesto but something to avoid if you are on the fence or hate it.

Love coming here for some food after visiting the museum district! I have been here twice now with my sister and her kiddos after the museums, and it is a perfect place to accomodate kids! They have coloring books and crayons for the kids as well as a kids menu as well! They got the grilled cheese and milk for the kids, which they loved. They also offered to store the strollers while we ate. Booster seats and high chairs are available. They seem to get pretty busy during the weekends after noon but don't take reservations so you have to come and see how the wait is. They have an extensive menu and HUGE portions as well. I got the hawaiian pork chop with sweet potato fries, and it was DELICIOUS. It was a gigantic plate with 3 pork chops. The flavor was a nice blend of savory and sweetness, much like you would expect from a hawaiian flavor. Pineapple was delicious and sweet. The fries were fried to perfection and good with both ketchup and ranch. The apples were also yummy as well. Overall, 10/10 - I would definitely order this again! The other entrees we got were all HUGE, and most of us had some leftovers to take home as well. Service is so great here too! Everyone is so nice and attentive, even with the kiddos. During pride month, we also saw they had a beautiful pride cake (vanilla). Overall, I love coming to this place! It feels lively inside and has great service and food. I will definitely be returning soon in the future!

Reliably good. This location is comfortable with garage parking. Be forewarned, it's a free for all in the garage and all traffic rules are suspended. Great place to have a meal with colleagues with something for everyone on the menu. Wait staff are friendly. The ambiance is casual upscale.

Barnaby's is a great spot to grab a quick, fresh meal. I enjoyed their Cobb salad and fries. I really like their ranch. Our server was very kind and helpful. I always like going here.

Consistent every single time! Love the blue cheese burger and chicken with poblano and rice/beans. Servings are huge, I always have to split my food into two meals. Menu is fairly narrow as far as variety of food. Service is great. The inside almost as a diner feel to it. Only bummer about this place is breakfast ends super early, so we rarely make it in time. It's definitely breakfast, not brunch!

Very good food and large portions also the drinks were tasty. The outside area to play some games at was also a nice little plus, they got foosball, connect 4 and something else.

I ordered a regular salad from door dash for lunch. I must say I was really surprised by the large size of the salad. It came with two full sized chicken breast. My coworker and I could have split it. I ate half for lunch and had the rest for dinner. It was definitely worth getting the regular size. The chicken had a decent amount of seasoning. I do wish there were more tomatoes in the salad. And next time I will ask for croutons in the side because they did get a little soggy.

We just finished the Shark & Butterfly exhibits at MONH and were in search of a fun, quick, and family friendly spot in decent walking distance. We found it .5. mikes away at "B" (it's been dubbed). First, we'll be back at another location as ALL are dog friendly and we have 2 beauties who are going to love the "doggie menu." Second, service was phenomenal as the lunch rush ending on a Saturday - if that's possible. I wish I could remember our servers name, but with 8 people sitting down, it was too much. Third, their teamwork in delivery was outstanding and not 1 order was called out thanks to our server using the pivot system. Fourth and FINALLY, the food was phenomenally over portioned so be prepared to bring home eco friendly to-go boxes. We had 8 which is a shocker as fast as our D1 athletes eat. We cannot wait to enjoy a date night with a bottle of wine and the doggies next week at another location. Thank you!

I got the Cappuccino and the French Toast with a side of Eggs- all were delicious without being overly sweet. I enjoy having a sweet breakfast but don't love extra sugary or syrupy foods and drinks, so these were perfect. The cappuccino and biscuits had a small bit of a nutmeg or allspice flavor that was really nice with the espresso flavor, and the drink came out at a perfect temperature to immediately start sipping. The french toast came with berries, butter, and syrup on the side. I didn't use the syrup so I can't speak for it, but the berries were fresh and tasted great with the eggy french toast. I forgot to snap a picture of it, but it's a good sized serving with 6 halves of toast! The side of scrambled eggs was huge-definitely more than one egg which was surprising for only $3. With some pepper added they were perfect! My partner got the Green Eggs with Apple Chicken Sausage and potatoes and she was enamored with it, haha. It was a huge serving, definitely would've been able to take some home and have another meal if we weren't staying at a hotel down here. She said the eggs had a perfect consistency and every bite she took was amazing. She also loved the slices of kiwi and orange and that it came with ketchup! The food came out quickly and warm but not too hot to eat. Our server was great and so friendly! He made us feel comfortable and safe and I appreciated him recommending the french toast to me, he was so right about it being delicious! We ate inside and the decor and atmosphere are so cute and the temperature and seating were comfortable, if we ate here again I think my partner would pick to sit outside to see all the cute dogs on the patio!

LOVE barnaby's restaurant, ALL the locations but especially the original location. love the food, the atmosphere & more than not the service too. HOWEVER this location theres a new parking garage nazi i WONT be back to deal with. if i cant find parking on the street, ill go to fairview. she is an IDIOT & thinks shes HPD. no thanks.

The food portions are huge and good to eat on 2 to 3 times. The employees are very nice and hospitable. Each location is decorated differently and I think that is super cool.

Still One of out faves when visiting the museum district. My husband ordered the homemade lasagna this time around. Happy Pride month!

This place is dog & pride friendly, but not necessarily kid friendly. Staff seemed to be bothered with our group of children. Meatloaf with loaded potatoes and spinach was recommended. Definitely wasn't "mom's meatloaf" Kids' meals were cute. Dinner service was very slow tonight, but our waitress, Juliann was very kind.

This location is AWESOME!!! It was our first time coming to this location and it looked great inside and out. It looked like a cool place to hang out and eat. They also have a dog friendly outside seating area. I love their choices of food because it seems like they had a little bit of everything here. Their strawberry lemonade was very tasty!! From the moment we walked in everyone was so nice and helpful! Definitely hope to come back again!

Decent patio and allowed pets which was a huge draw! Asian Spicy Wings - 5/5 Awesome sweet yet spicy flavor and the addition of vinegar cucumbers really brought the dish together. The breading of the wing was crunchy yet soft and the chicken was very tender and moist. Great dish. Baby back ribs - 3.5/5 Very regular baby back ribs although a little dry. The asparagus was decent but also a little undercooked. The sweet potato fries were crisp and delicious though!

I've been eating at Barnaby's for several years now and can honestly say I've never been disappointed! My go-to is normally a salad because they're huge and delicious. My favorites are the Mediterranean Chicken Salad and the Chinese Chicken Salad (pictured). The price may seem a bit high for a salad ($16 for a large), but I ALWAYS get two meals out of it. Tip - you can order a medium size salad for a few dollars less. Tip 2 - if ordering a salad for dine-in, request the dressing on the side so that your leftovers won't be soggy. The menu is really diverse, the staff is friendly, and it's a clean, casual environment so we keep going back!

This place is dog and kid friendly. Everyone is always nice. On Tuesdays they have $2 glasses of wine. The service is always great. They have dog bowls etc for the dogs and games on the outdoor patio which is always a place.

Went here on a Sunday and ended up sitting at the bar. They only have beer and wine with other juices and soft drinks. The food was okay. I didn't like there were pickles on the wings. The service was on point and the server was very attentive! The food was okay, I honestly am not crazy about it.

I have been a fan of Barnaby's for decades, long before this location opened. Fortunately, I found the same great food, attentive service and general vibe I am accustomed to at Barnaby's here. It is also close to my home, which is a big plus. If you are new, try the meatloaf or the lasagna. The salads are giant (you may want to have this split the serving in two and take the rest home.

Came to have dinner here with a couple of friends and it being my first time visiting.. wow I would definitely go back for my tuna sandwich and yes I did add the Swiss cheese which made it *chefs kiss * don't knock it til' you try it! the location of this restaurant is in the heart of Houston; where you're able to find anything and everything. Service was excellent! Servers constantly came up to our table to check on anything or if something was needed. Many people were there around the time I went. Might I suggest going before 8pm just to avoid those late dinner timers.

One thing stands out the most about this place is the portion size of the food, it is humongous! You will definitely have leftover to bring home for another meal. Everything tastes absolutely delicious. It is very satisfying to dine here. I highly recommend the Grilled Salmon Filet (8oz salmon and the creamy caper sauce it comes with is heavenly) , Danish Baby Back Ribs (comes with lots and lots of fries). The restaurant is always busy, a little loud and service is kinda slow, even on a Sunday night. They can accommodate for big groups, family and kids friendly. They have high chairs, crayons and drawing paper, kids cups for the little ones. If you are not in a big rush and are in need of a big plate of yummy food, this is your place. Of course, if you want to avoid the crowd and noise, there is a lovely outdoor patio, and you can bring your pups here.

Adrian was our server and he was fantastic! We got the cheesecake 10/10, ribs w/ sweet potato fries 9/10, Texas chili burger 7/10, classic burger 8/10, blue cheese burger 8/10. Dog friendly patio & good sized portions.

Since the moment we walked in, I felt welcomed and helped. Our waiter was attentive and had our order right. The food was delicious and as you can see, two can eat from one plate.

Location wise, this was a convenient stop and within walking distance of entertainment district walking. While my friend was mildly concerned about dog hair, the interior was entirely clean and bright. We were immediately greeted, warmly, I may add, which was very nice, despite the place bustling and having a lot of activity. Our server, Aiden, did a great job. We ordered the spicy asian chicken wings as a starter, the baby back ribs, and carrot cake for dessert and were not disappointed. The wings were surprisingly crispy and flavorful! I usually do not find wings that achieve that level of crispiness on the outside. I also enjoyed the spicy cucumber they placed on top of it. Besides being refreshing, it stayed true to asian flavor palettes. The baby back ribs was truly a sizeable portion, but just a little dry. They do give you the option of waffle fries, steak fries, chips, or mashed potatos, which I found to be very accommodating and thoughtful. Aiden was kind enough to engage in friendly banter and conversation, refilling our waters whenever he saw they were running low. The only thing I may note about service was that we had asked for knives to cut our food and towels for our hands, and the towels arrived ten-fifteen minutes later (which is expected), but the knives arrived after that, with prompt. As someone who serves as well, it may just be noted that knives are needed to eat, so they should come out first. Because of that, we couldn't really eat for a long while. Besides that, everything was great!

I ordered the falafel burger with sweet potato fries and a strawberry lemonade. Overall, the service was great. They had a great options for anyone who can't afford eat meat. I was worried that the food would lack flavor, however, it was surprisingly very good.

We went here by accident since the one next door closed on Labor Day. They're very busy. We waited for about 10 mins. Not too bad. This restaurant is kid and dog friendly. We ordered Asian wings, meatloaf, ribs and carrot cake. Generally, food was good. The Asian wings were flavorful and spicy. I loved the homemade pickles coming with it. However, wings were too salty for my liking. My husband liked his ribs with sweet potato fries. My toddler loved it as well. Meatloaf was a bit sweet. Asparagus came with it was yummy. The cake was huge and delicious. We will definitely comeback here if we're in museum district.

Portions here are absolutely gigantic and the food is delicious. Family and pet friendly. Have been eating at barnaby's for years and it's always a hit.

What I love about Morgan Beavers is that there is definitely something for everyone to eat. They have such a wide array of a menu, if you are with picky eaters this is definitely the place to land. some thing else to admire about Barnaby's is that the staff and the customer base is so eclectic. You can tell it is filled with free spirits. As you can see by the mascot this is definitely a place you can bring your dog. All nine locations are dog, friendly, and offer treats. You can also bring your cat if they're down for a public environment. This last time in particular I went, the staff was over and beyond. I cannot stress how grateful I am for how kind they were to me and my family. They make the experience so nice. You definitely want to go back just to interact with them and I've had a variety of food from here and everything I eat is definitely solid. Some thing that is nice to note is that all the servings are massive, so if you are not a big eater, consider sharing some thing with someone. I have never had a meal here where I have finished even half of the fries that were served to me.

Fantastic service by our server Logan. Food was great and plentiful- I ALWAYS finish my food and this time took half my Sausalito salad home. Chicken Tinfga quesadilla and sweet potato fries were also 10/10. Wish there were more of these in Texas.

Vibe- Super colorful and vibrant! There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors; there's also a bar area. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- There's a variety of food and drink items; there's a selection of plant-based burgers which is right up my alley! On my first visit I ordered the CHIPOTLE BLACK BEAN BURGER + a STRAWBERRY MIMOSA (the chipotle sauce was my favorite on the burger) Parking- There's a parking garage next door; free parking on the 1st floor and validation for the upper floors. Other info- This location only serves breakfast on Saturday and Sundays; 8am-12pm. Check them out the next time you're in the Museum District!

Solid choice - never does me wrong. Not the most fancy food, but ambiance is comforting and it's overall easy in and out.

Okay we just gambled on this place that popped up being neither of us had been to Houston and were so hungry on our road-trip. It wasn't far from graffiti park so that was what we saw and why we headed their way. It was on the way to I-10 which is where we were headed to. We were trekking to Florida! We found patio seats quickly (they are seat yourself). The wait staff was not very in tune to your needs so things took quite a bit of time to happen from the get go. The bathrooms were both clean and that was nice being we had been on the road for 6+ hours already! I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it comes on their bread and with a honey mustard and normal fixings (lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles). The sandwich was so big! And the amount of fries they give you is insane. My husband ordered the Turkey Club. It comes with the fixings and a cranberry mayo. He was nervous to try the mayo haha! It is served with their homemade chips. His sandwich was for sure too much for him or I to eat alone but he accepted the challenge since we didn't have a way to save it. Poor guy. What we liked was the quality of food to price. It isn't super expensive for good food and that's sometimes hard to find. My sandwich was delish and the fries were a nice fresh touch. Both meals we could have just picked one and shared and i wish the waiter would have let us know that. He knew we had never stopped in and didn't have really any direction for us or any faves to recommend. Strange to me. My husband was not a fan of the overload of turkey on his. It took away from the rest of the flavors which i could for sure see. The chips were great though. We would stop in again but just use our experience this trip to do it differently.

Service was excellent and made sure we were always full on coffee and water. We sat on the cute patio and ordered the green eggs and migas right away. I liked the Migas better, as the green eggs were super cheesy and mushy. This also didn't sit very well with my stomach unfortunately.

They have many vegetarian burger options that can be made with lettuce leaf instead of burger buns. You can do a side of sweet potato fries or veggies if you want to eat healthy. Our server was very courteous.

Previous frequent visitor. Used to eat lunch here a lot years ago and decided to go back with the family before visiting the zoo. I got my old faithful...hotdog. And it was just as I remembered. No wait time for a table, quick service, friendly staff, and they validate parking.

See the attached pictures and take a guess what that "mystery meat" could be. No idea? That's the $22.50 "Pork Chops" that we ordered online (from their website, not door dash) and went and picked up. Oh, you cant see these sad pictures, go to google for this location. That has to be the saddest excuse for $22.50 Pork Chops that I have ever seen! Shame on Barnaby's on Binz! Take it off your menu, this is an embarrassment on the Barnaby Brand. We're done at this location, and so should you. Take your hard earned money elsewhere. Don't let the reviews fool you.

This restaurant is decently alright not the cheap restaurant, but a restaurant that can be good to find in Houston. There's so much food to eat, could not finish the plate, the service was great and not crowded place in general.

I read the reviews before dining and I thought I was prepared, but I was wrong. When they say the portions are big, they forgot to say "as big as your face" big! My Cobb salad was delicious and it was more like 3 salads put together. The bacon was exceptional, the tomatoes were ripe and juicy, the chicken was spot on... it was all so good, but I couldn't finish it. Sad face. I would have taken it to go, but we were headed to a concert immediately after dinner, so I didn't have a way to keep it cool. The atmosphere is nice with regular table seating, 1/2 booth 1/2 chair seating, outdoor pup friendly patio seating and bar seating. Alice took great care of us and offered suggestions. The restrooms were clean and the walls were loaded with black and white puppy photos. Who doesn't love puppies?! I did t have my pup with me, but I know she would have enjoyed it. There's a parking garage conveniently located right next door to the restaurant. Barnaby's will validate your parking, so that's a nice added benefit. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

Good food and good selection of different dishes. Enjoyed the Chicken Mill Valley and baby brownie a la mode (perfect guilt-free size...lol)

I've been to several locations and the food is pretty consistent. We like this location because it's close and easy to come during the week for a quick meal. The service is generally pleasant and my son is obsessed with the corn dogs. The salads are huge and I love the gumbo, when it's available.

Came by on Sunday for an afternoon snack, ordered the spinach and artichoke dip. One of the best dips I've had! Portion was huge and it was warm and cheesy. Paired well with the tortilla chips. They validate parking if you park at the adjacent garage. Patio seating, is dog friendly.

Yummy food. Great service. The place allows dogs in the park on, what more do you want? lol I love how the menu has a variety of food for any type of eater
