Kulture

This place is amazing. Great food, great music, great staff. I can’t say anything negative! The biscuits were light and fluffy, the collard greens were seasoned and savory. The lamb chops grilled and tasty. And the fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Definitely will be back…

1st visit on Sunday at 4pm & and it was not busy. Parking across street was $30 😳 ordered lamb chops appetizers portion $25 they were cooked med-well but not seasoned well and shrimp n Grits $26 also locked favor /seasoning. Great servers , nice decor, very clean place.

Kulture Kitchen is a Black-owned restaurant that absolutely delivers on flavor, service, and atmosphere. The food was delicious, with bold, satisfying flavors in every bite. Our waiter was friendly, and the service was impressively quick, making for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. This place is definitely a must-try restaurant--whether you're a local or just visiting. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it gets busy fast (for good reason!). There's parking available in a nearby garage, and they validate for up to two hours, which is super convenient. And don't leave without trying the lamb chops--they're a menu highlight and worth every bite

I enjoyed the lamb chops very much, but the greens were perfection! Thank you to Marcus for great service. He wore multiple hats and made delicious cocktails - specifically the mango lemon drop. This was an engaging evening on a Wednesday, I can only imagine the level of excitement here on the weekend/brunch. Kulture is definitely a vibe!

The food here was delicious, hands down the best blueberry pancakes I’ve ever had. The fried chicken was also really good, crispy, moist, but it was on the salty side. The portion sizes were big too. Service could’ve been better, and it was a bit frustrating that the online menu didn’t match the in person one. I actually came for the French toast, but they had run out. That said, I loved the laid back vibe and the crowd. Still dreaming about those pancakes!

DreamCon brought me to Houston, and the smell of the food brought me through the doors of this dope spot. We had the Gulf Shrimp and grits and the Oxtails( which isn't a regular menu item but you can request them), and I'd definitely recommend you do. The shrimp and grits were really good too. The service was friendly and prompt, so I'll definitely grab a bite here next time I'm in H-Town!

The fried chicken is unbelievable!! Would also highly recommend the gumbo. The cocktails were beautiful and done so well! Marcus was an incredible server and the music and vibe was welcoming and so comfortable. Highly recommend and we will be back!!

I attended to Texas Black Business Expo at the GRB convention center and took a short walk to Kulture from brunch …same owner as the Breakfast Klub…I had a great lil into cinnamon biscuit with honey butter and the shrimp and grits. Not too heavy but a great flavor.

Great experience!!! Visited from Atlanta, making this location a future must to bring family and friends when back in Houston. Marcus, Mike and Taveous gave a performance I would support buy purchasing a ticket. Funk is alive and well! Thanks for the memories. Harry Bowden Atlanta, Georgia

I hosted a wedding rehearsal dinner reception at Kulture on 5/3/2024. Both the planning and execution phases of the event far exceeding my expectations, and I am very demanding. Marcus, Taveous, and Mike went above-and-beyond to make the evening one of the most talked about and memorable events of the year. Anyone reading Yelp or Google reviews know that good customer service is rare; exceptional customer service is virtually non-existent. Not at Kulture! The food, the service, the ambience, the professionalism all rate 5 stars. The live band had EVERYONE dancing and singing along, which is notable because of the age ranges of the guests in attendance. Would I go back to Kulture again? Would I recommend Kulture to my dearest friends and family? The answer is a resounding YES! To Marcus, Taveous, Mike, and the rest of the amazing staff, please continue push the envelope and always remain committed to excellence! Well done! Wishing you guys much success! Thanks again for a very magical evening. Jerome W.

I attended a private party at Kulture and I was truly impressed with the level of service and the ambiance. The live music was absolutely phenomenal! The singer, bass player, and the keyboardist were amazing but the drummer was out of this world. The drinks and bartenders were all top-notch. Kulture will be my goto spot whenever I'm in Houston.

Food was a 10/10 Salad was super fresh and crunchy had lemon and crab flavor to the sauce and super filling. The pasta was soooo creamy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Both were equally big portions. These two dishes complemented each other so well. Definitely recommend

Fantastic dirty martini. Great beer on draft. Amazingly friendly staff. The colllard green arancini.... dear lord, it's like a beignet, gumbo, and collard breeds had a baby. The smoked turkey neck in there just sets off the delicious flavor and whatever the hell that dipping sauce is. Just damn! We shared the half roasted chicken with sautéed onions, mashed potatoes, served over a mustard sauce that was out of this world. Pains me to say that I was so excited over the appetizer and main dish that I forgot to snap pictures. The peach cobbler bread pudding....I almost cried it was so good. Of your in the Houston area, support your local business and blow this place up on your social medias!

I'm an expecting mother on a low sodium diet so I thought it would be a great idea to try a vegan restaurant. After researching I found Kulture. I read the menu options and the reviews so I thought I would give it a try but to my disappointment they didn't have any vegan options beside a salad which I got. But that's not the only reason I gave them 3 stars. First of all, our waitress (Precious) was a very sweet girl and gave me and my friend suggestions but she wasn't very attentive. You have to park in the garage which they validate but only up to 2 hours. I mention that because we should have been in and out in under 2 hours but what held us up was the fact that my friend ordered the oxtails (which was on the Lunch menu) and she told us we had to wait till they started to serve dinner to order oxtails; which didn't make sense since it was on the LUNCH MENU. Then I wanted some HAPPY HOUR wings/fries to go but she gave us some BS reason why I couldn't order them to go. THENNNN, we waited another 20 mins for our food to come, keep in mind I had a Crab Caesar. Then, once our food came, Precious checked on us maybe once and that was it. So once we were done eating we waited another 10 mins just to get her attention so we could get our check and get out of there. Which means we ended up still paying to park because we were there past 2 hrs. AND KEEP IN MIND it wasn't packed at all. (FYI, they charge a 20% gratuity per party and I feel that she didn't deserve the $26 tip that she got, she deserved maybe $10 but NOT $26.) Second of all, the food was good but it took so long to get Precious attention that my friend ended up not getting dessert, even though she eventually changed her mind because she doesn't like bread pudding but was willing to try it if the waitress had came to check on us more than once. Overall, the vibe was great, cozy, relaxed and the food and drinks was good with great portions but because of everything mainly the 20% gratuity and the amount of unnecessary time we wasted we probably won't come back. FYI: They really need to update their menus because I probably wouldn't have visit if I had known they didn't have vegan options besides the Crab Caesar. That gave off false advertising vibes. But that's just me!!

Decided to have a work foodies event here on a Thursday and I didn't realize there was limited space but they were able to accommodate us. At the tables they have very wide chairs so it's hard to dine here with large groups. The service was good and friendly. The carbonara pasta I had was good but very rich and the portions are huge. They also have a nice bar and a small seating space upstairs to sit. There may have been an event that night or something because they had two very large speakers blasting r&b music which was cool but not when you are trying to have a conversation with coworkers. They have happy hour from 5-6 pm on weekdays I believe and there is parking across the street or in the garage which is validated for two hours. If you are looking for some good food and a loud environment with R&B jams then I would recommend this space but again not really good for large parties or if you're trying to have conversations when the music is blasting.

I literally visit when Marium Echo is performing, and as often as I can. In regards to the restaurant, the food and drinks are great. I'm partial to their brunch over dinner-- it's excellent! Service is great and the parking is validated. What's not to love?! It's always a vibe at Kulture. Cheers!

Nice design but service sub par. We came here on our trip to Houston excited to try this place. Our drinks were ok but service from bar and server not so much. The energy was as we were interrupting their personal conversation by wanting to order. We ordered our food which took quite a while. I ordered gumbo which came looking more like dark watery soup and had no flavor. To make things worse the chicken my husband received was bloody still. We showed the last walking around and her eyes said it all as she removed the item. I was so upset even more than my husband because I know the risk. I think this place needs to re-evaluate a few areas.

All I can say is WOW! I was just looking for someplace close to my hotel to get a quick bite but this place is awesome!!! The menu isn't huge but does have a good variety of choices. I had the shrimp n grits and they were some of the best I've ever had. So rich and creamy I had to slow down just to savor every bite! The service is also very good but not overbearing. The music is a little loud but then again I sat in front of the speakers, and who was I going to talk to anyway!

My friends and I decided to go here for Brunch on Saturday. There was a total of 7 of us. We called ahead of time to make a reservation and decided to arrive 30-40mins early which worked in our favor because we were seated when the entire party arrived. There isn't any large signage outdoors, but it sits on the corner and if you look through the glass you can see the name over the bar area. We parked in the adjacent garage and lucky for us, they validated our parking. The place is small, but roomy, if that even makes sense. Ambiance is trendy and I saw a stage for a live band,but they weren't there when we went. Restrooms were clean, and not gender neutral. My friends and I are used to eating everything family style, so we make sure to collaborate on what to order to get the most bang for our buck. Apps: Buttermilk Biscuits w/jam &butter (okay) Crab Caesar Salad (Not impressed) Entrees: Fried Chicken w/double Mac (okay) Gumbo (not for me) Shrimp and Fried Grits (okay) Catfish and Grits (okay) Beef cheek and grits (Best Bite) I'm a Caesar salad snob, so the dressing didn't do it for me and there isn't enough crab present to call it a crab salad. It's rare that I will ever like anyone's gumbo, but that's a me issue. My family has a very specific recipe. Best bite was the beef cheeks w/grits...it almost has an oxtail like consistency and the gravy is full of flavor. Our waitress and the staff were very knowledgeable and attentive. Drinks were all really good, even the mocktails. Needless to say, I would stop by if I'm in the area. Enter freely, they've been approved.

Run, don't walk to Kulture and get yourself a good meal and drink!! Love that my friend chose for us to have dinner here because it was a great experience. We had a reservation at 7pm on a Wednesday and when we got there, we were greeted warmly by the host and seated by the large windows facing the street. The menu isn't robust, but I liked that because it shows me that they are good at the things they did have on the menu. I went with the fried snapper and he got the gumbo. Our food was ready in about 10-12 minutes and it was delicious!! The best part of the experience was the customer service. Our waitress was delightful, the host was great and I even witnessed them go over and beyond to help another patron find the parking garage. P.S: They also valet so park in the garage and have them stamp your parking ticket! This is helpful because parking dwtn sucks!

I decided to try this place since it's close to my job. We arrived just before happy hour ended. Our waitress was pleasant, but we felt rushed to order our drinks before 6 pm. After flagging her down, she apologized and took our drink orders. I was disappointed that happy hour ended at 6, considering most people get off work at 5. However, the mango margarita was delicious. The menu options didn't impress me; I ended up settling for a salad as nothing stood out and choices were limited. However, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the decorations were great. Service was attentive, with several staff members checking in on us. Overall, it was an okay experience.

January 20th @8pm Fantastic space! Live music Saturday is a must. The food was absolutely delicious. I rated it 4 stars because I felt it was seasoned strongly. I needed water refills often but that didn't stop me from clearing my plates. This is a beautiful space for a date night. The ambiance is adult upscale. It's an amazing way to be entertained and fed. Mahalia (Ma-hell-ya) I'm not sure if that's how it's spelled but that's how I pronounce it. She was our server and she was outstanding. Patient, helpful, funny, and knowledgeable. If you're ever in the area and need a beautiful space to unwind and eat, I recommend Kulture

PLEASE do NOT go here. Go to another place in the area. Quick summary: I made a reservation, received slow service, ordered food, waited 30 minutes for food then was told that the kitchen was closed so they couldn't prepare what we wanted. Automatic 20% gratuity on all orders! I made a reservation for Sunday Apr. 14 @ 2:30 PM. I arrived and spoke with the hostess at exactly 2:38 pm (well within the 15 minute grace period for all reservations). I was seated and received waters from the person bussing tables. No one else approached my table for at least 10 minutes. So I told the same busser that I was ready to order. He proceeded to find us a waitress. Another 5 or so minutes went by before any waitress came and took our order. After waiting about 30 minutes the waitress came to our table and said we wouldn't be served because the kitchen was already closed! I told her I wanted to speak to a manager. The manager walked by my table at least 3-4 times before stopping. He told us he could make my boyfriend's order with the 1 piece of leftover catsfish in the kitchen (at full price) and that for my order the kitchen could "Whip something up" with the chicken that was leftover at a discounted price. Rather than just eating what was "leftover" we decided to leave because at that point we had been there for an hour. This restaurant shouldn't have allowed us to make a 2:30 reservation if service would be this poor Also...the live music was so loud that you have to shout to hear people at your table.

Nice downtown spot for a Sunday Funday! The band was amazing and the food/drinks were great. The server gave great food suggestions after I expressed what I was in the mood for. Only concern - our party consisted of 10 ladies. The waitress wasn't able to split the bill (because of the party size) but she was able to make a different transaction on each of our cards. We had to sit there and remind her what each patron ordered. I still don't understand that rationale. Why not just split the bill?

The ambiance of this place is pretty classy. I like the interior decor and the amount of lighting it has. Food is amazing. We came from Dallas and was famished so we opted for this spot. Husband for the oxtail shepherds pie and it did not disappoint. He devoured the dish. I was having a dilemma with what I wanted. I initially wanted the braised cabbage but husband said it wasn't enough food. So I opted for the cauliflower. Our server came out and said that the chef already had a cabbage braising so I opted for that instead. Then when the food came out, he brought us both the cabbage and the cauliflower, with the cauliflower being on the house, which was very sweet! Anyhow; I am glad he convinced me to go with the cabbage because the flavor was phenomenal. We couldn't describe the flavor of the dashi. It has a ton of umami and a lovely hint of sweetness. I am sure the cauliflower was good too, but I would just buy the cabbage 5 times over! With all that being said, our server was amazing. He really took care of us during our visit.

Service was very attentive and friendly. Waitress checked in frequently without being intrusive and manager came to check in about half way through our meal. Drinks and food were great!

Make a reservation as early as possible! Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I LOVE this place! I went during lunch and nobody was really there. I actually preferred it that way so I could really take the restaurant's atmosphere in. The customer service was great and the food was EVERYTHING! I had the Oxtail Sheppard's Pie and bread pudding. I'm not a big fan of bread pudding but this was excellent. I absolutely recommend this place especially at night. This is a girl's night or date night. It's for grown ups.. yes, kids are allowed but nah...leave them at home. Lol

This place is one of the best places I've been to in a while. Inside was bright and open. The hostess was warm and welcoming. Everyone was super nice. I felt very comfortable being there. The bartenders were amazing. I believe even the manager greeted me. It was brunch at the time and I ordered the fried chicken. It's 4 pieces that come with two sides (mac & cheese, and collard greens) and a biscuit that comes with honey butter and a pear jam. Everything was delicious!!! The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and crispy. The Mac was cheesy and creamy. The collards have the perfect amount of tang. The biscuit was great with the honey butter and jam together. Everything was well balanced and great portions. I didn't feel heavy or lagged after eating everything which was great.

I visited Kulture today for the first time with some friends and overall our visit was just okay :( The pros: The venue itself is a pretty neat looking spot with lots of natural light and windows looking out on downtown. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and I thought all of the food tasted good. My friends were big fans of the apple lemon drop martinis and I really liked their take on the French 75 that had Hennesee instead of gin. For our food, we got the wings (both flavors, although I only tried the lemon pepper), ribs, and smoked turkey and greens dip. I wasn't wowed by the dishes, but they were solid. The lemon pepper wings were moist and not lacking in flavor. Also, the flavor of the dip was enjoyable and we thought it evoked feelings of thanksgiving with the turkey, we just wished it was more dip-like. It seemed like a lot of turkey and breadcrumbs and not much greens or sauce to tor it together. The cons: We didn't realize that the menu here rotates every 6 months, so some items we had seen online were not available. Also, we didn't realize that brunch is currently only served on Sundays. So again, we had looked at the brunch menu online but those items weren't available. The menu size was quite modest (less than a dozen options for food) and it turned out that they didn't have all of those items (black bean hummus was out). The food seemed to take a long time to come out even though the dining room was less than half full. We also placed a second order for the lemon pepper wings pretty immediately upon receiving our food and by the time we were done eating, they had not arrived. Our server asked if we wanted this to be cancelled and we said yes, but then when the check came we'd been charged for it, as well as the hummus that wasn't in stock. They made the corrections to the bill and accommodated us with splitting it amongst our group, so all was well at the end. Given that the menu does rotate, I might consider returning in the future when that happens, but maybe on a weeknight instead of a weekend so that the kitchen might be faster and better stocked.

We came right when it opened on a Saturday morning. The ambiance was calm and clean. Service was timely and they constantly checked in. We got the following items Market fish: this was good it was served on a bed of jambalaya Cauliflower steak (small plate): amazing this was my favorite. I will defiantly be back for this.

Delicious food in an AWESOME atmosphere. The vibe at lunch was incredible. I can only imagine the scene on weekends. If you're in the area, stop by and enjoy the courteous and professional staff! I'll be here next time I'm in Houston for sure!

I had you guys on the list to visit but now I see this article, https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2024/04/26/houston-restaurant-employee-accused-of-putting-his-genitals-in-food-items-possessing-child-pornography/#:~:text=The%20manager%20showed%20deputies%20a,at%20the%20location%2C%20records%20show.&text=Holmes%20reportedly%20confessed%20to%20putting,stopped%20himself%20before%20he%20ejaculated." And I'm weary to come. What precautions are you taking so this does not happen again?

A good resturaunt includes good leadership. Kulture is a place where you'll find both. Great service and awesome stafd and managenet. Your community thanks you

None of us liked our food, and it looked unappetizing. The server was inattentive, didn't check on us, left our drinks and food sitting for a long time without serving it, and seemed completely unconcerned. But hey, why would she? Her tip wasn't dependent on any service she provided--the restaurant adds a mandatory 20% server tip, no matter how bad the service is. And nothing can be done about it. Back to the food: trying to change our meals, the manager then haggled us about how much of it we ate and refused to remove it from the bill or offer another meal in its place. And no staff offered to validate our parking. The set up of the venue is awkward too. I heard this place was closed a long time during the pandemic--it should've stayed that way.

Got a email about this place and immediately reserved a table. This is in downtown by discovery green so you can also take a walk and explore after. Inside was the cutest chairs and sofa, which provided a cozy vibe. My shrimp and grits were amazing. However my partner had a hair on her club sandwich. We also ordered the mimosas and Diablo. The Diablo was very flavorful. They also had live music and a band! This place definitely provides soulful comfort.

Okay, so here is the deal. I would like to give this place a 5 star rating just on GP but I feel like the menu is a tad stretched in that some of the items were not exactly establishing a genre if I had to describe the place to someone else who was looking for recommendations. Not to mention the happy hour timeframe that my sister found online was not in line with reality so we did miss out on that. Nonetheless, we were hungry and enjoying each other's company so we still ordered and gave it a chance. I understand that items run out sometimes but there were a few different things that were not available and we were there on a day that the staff did say was not a busy day so maybe some tailoring to the order predictions, not sure. Maybe I am being critical unnecessarily. I will say all of the staff that we interacted with were nice and down to earth and we LAUGHED. Oh my goodness people please learn to laugh and lighten up some. The drinks were quite good as well. I did have my go to with an old fashioned but I also tried the Crown Mule because something from the Mahogany 75 was not available. The Pig Wings, the crab, and oxtail were all no go items for the day so we tried the gumbo, the collard green arancini, and some bread. The bread, our server had to ask for multiple times and finally it came out. Granted, we requested it as a starter so the time it took, it paired well with the gumbo surprisingly. We also learned that our server was new to the place and she did an amazing job of helping us come up with options to find the best of the menu items that were available. Unfortunately, housekeeping threw away my receipt so her name is lost. I may have to come back in and hope she is there as I will be working in the area again soon. Honestly I like to move around and keep trying new things but because the gumbo was so good, I do want to revisit and see if the items I did not get to try will be available next time.

My friends and I decided to try Kulture out for Brunch. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. They had a live band with a lead singer. The food was really delicious. I had the catfish and grits. My daughter has the gumbo. We sat at the bar and the bartender did a great job. My only complaint would be is that the food came out slow and one by one. Some of us were done eating by the time others received their food. I would definitely give it a try again.

Food was a little on the underwhelming side. Not many options. The menu was broken up into small plates and large plates. I ordered the club sandwich off of the small plates portion. The servers were nice and attentive so that makes up for the limited option. My sidecar cocktail was delicious.

The food and customer service were excellent. Camilla, our waitress, was uber-sweet and attentive. The only reason why I'm not rating this restaurant five stars is because all menu items were available, so I was not able to order vegetarian food. I don't mind eating seafood, but I prefer to maintain a vegetarian lifestyle. My friends loved their dishes.

Y'all Kulture is so dang good! I didnt take pictures of everything I tried but my recommendations are the Collard Dip and the Club sandwhich. The boudain balls were yummy but not my top pick. I had the wings too but they weren't all that. I wish they were cooked a little longer and had some extra sauce/flavor to them. The service was 10 stars. My bartender AZOD was a cool, personable young man and we connected over our love for music. The bar manager Taveous is super friendly and makes some of the tastiest drinks. I'm making this my go-to spot before I attend downtown sporting events and concerts.

The drinks were on point. The bar tender did a fantastic job. I couldn't get any of the food I went there for because they are going through a change of menu and currently there is a very limited menu. I was there and waiting for two other people. I wish the waiter came and asked me if I needed a drink or can I get you anything while waiting. I didn't know who my wait staff was and I had to flag him when he came to the table next to me. He was near the bar area and never approached. I had the oxtail shepherds pie. It was $30. I think they could have used any of the less expensive cuts of meat and had a better pie. I didn't lie the texture of oxtail in my shepherds pie. I hope they keep the oxtail ragout on the new menu which is what I went for after reading the reviews on yelp.

Exceptional food and stellar service. A coworker/friend and I went here as our first stop as we were scouting out places to host an important work happy hour event early this week. They were having a soft opening when we arrived, so not a full menu but plenty of options and the service and food were fully on point. Larry, the bartender ran to open the door for individuals as he'd see them/us approaching. He seemed to genuinely LOVE his job and was never without a smile on his face . He gave my friend and I great food and drink suggestions. Two of which were the shrimp and grits and the empanadas. The empanadas are stuffed with turkey and collard greens, served with a lime and a yummy green sauce. Larry's tip was to squeeze a little lime on the empanada b4 each bite and then dip it in the green sauce. Great suggestion! It was delightful. Both dishes were absolutely delectable. The shrimp & grits even better than the empanadas. The sauce that comes with the meal, the shrimp, the crispy deep fried grits. Man o man. DEE-licious! The cocktails were great as well. The signature drink, Mahogany was pretty good but didn't really tickle my fancy so Larry whipped me up another great concoction that seemed to do the trick. Additionally one of the chefs came out and spoke with us for a while. She was very informative and gave us great info about the Black Chef's Table series.

Service was pretty bad to be deserving of automatic 20% gratuity. It did take about 10 minutes from sitting down to get our drinks. We didn't get the happy hour pricing even though we were there and ordered before 5pm on Saturday. The kulture burger with fries was good but the collard green arancini were just mediocre for the price. It is a cool spot since it is walking distance to home, but service was just really bad today. We were waiting for about 10-15 minutes to cash out. We were 2 of 5 people at the bar. I guess when gratuity is automatically added, who cares about good and timely service.

The aesthetic was cute. I like that it's an open bar, my drink was really good. The food was good. Wasn't overpriced. I just wish they had more options for food & dessert options but I'd still eat here again.

Give it to the OWNER who put that scumbag on blast for his behavior. Ownership could have done things many different ways and we would never know what happened. That ownership would sink their own restaurant in order to make the scumbag accountable speaks volumes of their character. I hope you recover and THRIVE KULTURE.

Number 1- Chef Shawn - DAMN- he is FINE! (And the food is amazing) Shrimp and Grits - amazing Burger with Louis sauce - amazing Shrimp and Pasta - amazing Mac and cheese - dear Lord - is there anything that Chef Shawn can't make delicious? If you've never been here you are MISSING OUT!

The food, the service were all top notch!!! I came on a Friday when they had just opened at 11:30. My friend and I were the only ones in the restaurant at the time and we were treated like family from the beginning to the end! Please support this business because they absolutely deserve it! I so go back every single time I'm in town.

I saw what your employee was doing!! Tainted food I'd a No No!! Was caught TAINTING FOOD.....OMG!!!

Glad you guys are back and in full effect. Totally new menu with the same explosive taste. Our server was very attentive described the menu impeccably.

Came to Houston for a girls weekend and stopped here for Sunday brunch. Unfortunately we went too early so we didn't get to hear the live music but that's okay. Super friendly staff, loved the vibe of the place, and the food was good. Get the shrimp and grits when you go! Definitely would come back whenever I'm in town.

Finally made it to Kulture! Such a VIBE!! The fact that it's downtown is the reason it took me so long to get here .... traffic, parking, need I say more? Kulture does validate your parking ticket from the garage up to 2 hours. I visited on yesterday for Sunday brunch (reservations are strongly advised) we got there around 1:00ish, it wasn't to crowded but within the hour it was packed! Service - Our waitress did the best she could based on the number of tables she was waiting on ... they need help, if you're looking for a job :) Ambiance - Loved all the glass and the open space, I can only imagine what it's like at night. Literally for the music alone, I could've stayed there all day. They had a jamming playlist going when we came in, by 2:00 the live band was setting up and they did not disappoint, this lady Marium Echo was singing all your favorites, so talented. I didn't want to leave! Food - No food pics, it was gone before I even thought about it. I got the cajun omelette with grits and biscuits ... a friend got the French toast (bananas foster) with bacon and eggs. It was all so fresh and so delicious. The omelette wasn't as filling as I would've liked, so that's when I ordered the grits and biscuit. Because of course, everything is a la carte :( All of these elements made for a really pleasant experience. They were a little pricey but whose not these days? I can at least say that it was worth it! I'll be back before the summer is out. To the owner, Marcus Davis, well done sir!!!

Food 3/4 service 4/4 ambiance 4/4 Very nice. Music jamming and very laid back for adult word!! I enjoyed the oxtails pie, dashi cabbage, boudin stuffed quail was the bomb!! Enjoyed myself!!

Came here for a conference in Houston and stopped by at the end of the stressful day. Got treated with a variety of South African wine tastings. Even though this was in between hours of lunch and dinner, I appreciated the hospitality and the menu

Food was pretty good and the ambiance was nice. Unfortunately, my family wasn't too pleased with the service.

Food was delicious! Had the fried fish and Caesar salad--both were amazing. Peach cobbler bead pudding for dessert to finish . Everyone was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back again.

Ambiance and service were amazing however the food didn't amaze me. It's generally fine dining but with comfort food. I had the oxtail pie and creme brûlée. The oxtail was good but I wouldn't get it again. The crème brûlée was delicious and sweet. I think this place would best be suited for a first date, but not if your incredibly starving. Also note, the menu and chef changes every 6 months as the server mentioned to us, so if you see something on the menu, try it now or wait to change!

I was told about Kulture by a friend, so I started following them on IG. All of the food looks amazing on IG. So for my anniversary, my boyfriend took me here. I was super excited once we made it there. The restaurant looked great, and the hostess was very nice. We made reservations, So we didn't have to wait. But this is where things changed a little bit. The minute that we sat down our waitress said you can only eat from The Large shareable Menu. Which only consist of five things. I was like REALLY, because you advertise so many of your meals on IG and none of them indicate it's only available at a certain time. She went to explained that majority of their food is offered ONLY during brunch. Here's the thing I respect it to the fullest, but when The reservation was made that should have been explained. I was so disappointed because the things they did have to offer was nothing appealing. The waitress did apologize, but it was such an inconvenience on a Saturday night for our anniversary. We did wind up finding another place to eat. They had a full menu. MOVING FORWARD!!! Please only go during brunch if you want what you see on IG..

First class service. Outstanding food. Handcrafted drinks. Live music. What more could a diner possibly ask for...? Oh yeah, superior waitstaff. Couldn't be more proud of this fine environment right in downtown Houston. Kudos to Rachel our lovely Server. As busy as they were, she made sure to keep an eye on us, and was very attentive. Kulture is First Klass!
