Leeland House

We visited Leeland House on a weekend trip to Houston. The food and drinks were amazing! Service was courteous and quick. The atmosphere was laid back. The music was a VIBE! Will definitely make this a must for every Houston area visit!

Such a great find! I was at Emancipation Park for an event and needed a new spot to try breakfast. This palace popped up on my search and had great reviews. I loved the photos and the online menu was clear (I can't tell how irritating it is to view a company online and they either have no menu or an outdated one). Anyway, the place was nice and I wasn't aware it was two businesses in one. The outside canopy is very nice and spacious. I loved the music and the ambiance. It was very inviting. I got the sweet potato hash and the overnight oats which are now a favorite of mine. So delicious! My only gripe is with the parking. It's pretty limited which is not the fault of the business--it's downtown so.... 💁🏾‍♀️. Definitely check it out. You'll have a great time. We went on a Saturday morning around 8 and it was very light. By the time we finished eating, drinking and gossiping around 11, it was lit!

I visited with my husband and a friend for brunch and had a great experience. We opted for indoor seating to escape the heat, but the outdoor area looked inviting for next time. The food was delicious, and my latte was exceptional. Although my husband had an issue with his food due to an allergy, the staff resolved it promptly and efficiently. The place does get quite busy during brunch and lunch, so arriving early is a good idea if you prefer indoor seating.

I found my new favorite spot for brunch. Leeland House is a cozy boutique bistro & bar nestled in Houston’s East Downtown. They offer all-day brunch, beautiful patio with creative cocktails, specialty mimosas, and a full espresso menu. They are open everyday for from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm except weekends they close at 3:30 pm. They have DJs playing 80's and 90's music which sets the good vibes! IG: love_to_exist

We were in the area for the weekend and had breakfast back to back here! Parking is kind of crazy but there is always a spot! We sat out side both times and it was wonderful, I got the crème brûlée French toast and a brown sugar ice latte BOTH times it was so good I didn’t bother with the rest of the menu the second time around. My husbands food was the same way he got the breakfast plate with sausage instead of bacon and normally he eats his eggs and potatoes with a little hot sauce but he said “it was so good I didn’t need anything”. He also got the blood orange mimosas and a Bloody Mary he was feeling so good eating his food sipping on his drinks and dancing to the music outside. I just has a brown sugar ice latte and I probably had about 3 of them before we actually finished our meal and took one to go they were so good They also had a water station set up inside which help a ton!

My family and I went to Leeland House on a Saturday for brunch to celebrate my sister in law's birthday. The atmosphere was ok for the most part. There was a DJ playing music outside, and the music was also blasting through the speakers inside. It was a bit difficult to have a conversation with the music being really loud. You sit yourself where space is available and have to go up to the counter to order and pay for your food beforehand. The only negative thing I have to say about this "self-serve" experience is that there is less interaction with servers unless they're bringing your food to the table. We sat at a dirty table due to it being very busy that day and waited about 15 minutes until someone came by and cleared out our table after a group of people left. After asking a server to wipe a seat that had food on it, she very nicely rolled her eyes while doing it. Anything you need, you have to go up to the counter to ask for. The restaurant seems very busy and probably short staffed. Other than that, our food was delicious. Maybe on the simpler, more affordable side for brunch, but satisfying, nonetheless. I got the brisket hash and highly recommend it if you visit Leeland House for brunch.

The Texas Benny and the truffle fries were amazing. Place was small but had personality. Music was playing at a reasonable volume. Overall great experience.

This brunch spot is really nice with good music and a variety of drinks to choose from. The food area closes early but there is a great bar outside. Most of the seating is outside but there are a few tables inside. I have been there a few times and I always go for the brisket bowl.

As many times as we've been here for brunch I'm surprised I haven't already rated them. Probably because I always have the best time and are to busy seat dancing or entertaining with friends to take pictures to post. They have a great outdoor space so when the weather is nice this is definitely one of the top brunch spots to be at. The food has always been fantastic here and they have great mimosa specials. Apparently they stopped serving champagne by the bottle as they used to or they don't have that offer this past weekend. But the mimosas are like $4. Unheard of these days. They select the best dj's that play a good share of any upbeat sound. Mostly house mixed in with another genre of music. If you want a more quiet vibe they do have seating in the front of the house that looks a lot more relaxed. The space is dog friendly and we've brought our dog out a few times. It's an order at any of the three windows and they will bring the food out to you, so it's pretty quick to order. They also have another window that's just for drinks. Between the three of us we had a mixture of a chicken Cesar salad, sweet potato hash and a standard breakfast plate. Everyone said their meal was great. I had the hash and it was fresh, light but filling. I did have to add an extra egg as the one poached egg wasn't enough. The only thing I would change about the hash is to add more of something else (quinoa, etc) to eliminate the vast amount of sweet potato you get. Leeland house can never do anything wrong in my eyes!!

This place is so cute! We enjoyed are meal but they were out of a few key menu items so we were bummed. No biscuits, no brisket, no coffee beans when we went. Maybe if you get there earlier in the morning all items are available? Not sure. We enjoyed the white queso, the BLT with an egg and the shrimp and grits. 10/10 for the food, taste and presentation. The service did take a little long. We went on New Years Day. The sweet bartender was bartending and taking orders. She did her best and we appreciated her, but they might have benefitted from one more behind the bar. The vibe was good, we will definitely be back on our next visit to the island! (Side note, super cute tea house and coffee shop across the street)

Came around 11am on a Sunday for brunch. I ordered the Leeland Benedict, and my friend and I shared a carafe of mimosa where we had a combination of the blood orange and hibiscus. My favorite part of the benedict was the toasted ciabatta with avocado, but all around it was a solid dish and was pretty filling. The mimosa didn't taste too different from a standard orange juice mimosa. One carafe came out to about 5 glasses for us. There is lots of street parking around the restaurant, and it definitely got busier as we were leaving around 12:30. When you walk in, you can find your own table and view the menu on the QR code. Then you order at the bar and tell them your table number. If you order any drinks you'll get them at the bar before going back to your table, and your food will be brought out to you.

An updated review here - I've been to Leeland House several times. On most occasions, I have a great time. During my last visit the experience was pleasant, however the food was underwhelming. Sweet Potato Hash was cold, poorly crafted, and not fresh. Swapped that for a burger and that was better, but it was messy. The biscuit basket was good though. Reasonable service. Outstanding patio experience and good mimosas. I'll return again for their happy hour. The patio is always a vibe and the DJ was jammin.

Leeland House is always a go to for good brunch and a dope atmosphere. Order at the window and they bring your food to the table. We decided to eat outside on this day because the weather was beautiful. Seat yourself, barcode menu, large screen outside to watch games, and shaded areas. My go to is their sweet potato hash. Fresh delicious ingredients!

A consummate brunch place in the heart of EaDo, Leeland House is sort of akin to dining at someone's house. That is, if the house happened to have a staff, large menu, a big local following, and an extra large patio. During good weather days, it's hard to find a more ideal spot for dining al fresco and enjoying some quality fare in a dynamic neighborhood. For all first timers, there is a posted sign that reads: "We are 2 buildings on 1 property. Both places serve the exact same brunch menu. FIRST: FIND A TABLE. Each table has a number and a QR menu. SECOND: ORDER AT ANY OF THE BARS WHEN YOU'RE READY. Make sure to know your table number." My favorite part in this is under the "House Rules" which reads, "EVERYONE MUST BE FULLY CLOTHED. (FOR REAL, Y'ALL). This includes shirts & shoes, no bikinis (or tops that look like bikinis)" Suddenly, I'm regretful I wasn't a regular here years ago. Their all day brunch is popular which a number of dishes that range from $8-15 mostly with a few that are $16-19. The Leeland benedict ($16) is probably one of the best ones, along with the brisket hash ($15) and breakfast plate ($15). I think the burgers are a bit underrated, especially the brunch burger ($16), which thankfully come with fries. Another big draw is their vast selection of boozy brunch cocktails that are $11 each. Additionally there are mimosas, sangria, and bloody marys that are available by the glass or the pitcher. Personally, I think the hangover mimosa is the one to get and it comes in several flavors of pineapple, lavender, blood orange, or hibiscus. There are also signature coffee drinks ($7), and the honey lavender latte is is a big one, as is the brown sugar iced latte. Whether it's a brunch date or a group gathering, Leeland House remains a good option. They are cashless and parking is a challenge during their busiest days. They're only open from Wednesday-Sunday and their hours are limited till 2pm on weekdays and 3pm on weekends.

Came back to this place with friends after 5 years and it's still so good!! Everything was very flavorful, well seasoned, and the food came out fast! Service was really good as well, our waiter came to check on us every so often. Interior is just like how I remembered it! I love restaurants that are made from houses, I think it's so cute. We also ordered a mimosa carafe and it was really good! Can't wait to come back soon!

Really cute brunch place! Right in the heart of Eado and in the loop. They have 2 buildings and an outdoor seating area. I got the honey chicken biscuit which was pretty standard, nothing to complain about. My favorite dish I've gotten from here though is the brisket hash. Brisket is perfect with the egg and potato. Food came out fast and service was good! Parking sucks on the weekends but there is street parking where you can pay on your phone.

I love this place so much I came twice in 3 days! Every time I'm in Houston this place is a must. Biscuits and Gravy was great (8.5/10) and the Biscuit Basket is up there with some of my favorite biscuits of all time. (9.5/10). Can't wait to go back! Service is always on point.

Fast service! Got to sit inside and there are a few tables there. Friendly staff, fast food service, and food was delicious.

This is a great casual hangout with craft cocktails and brunch menu available throughout the day. Our happy group of alleged retirees all met up and wandering back to the second building on the property to find indoor service. Grab a menu and place your order at the nearest bar and it appears at your table moments later. I had the creme brûlée French toast which featured layers of bread in two cake sliced portions and plenty of sweetness. It did, however, lack the crunch typically necessary to claim brûléed but was still delicious and oversized. Bacon accompanied it and the smoky, meaty unctuous taste was a nice counterpoint. Others had the house Benedict and found it to be decadent. Even the avocado toast was lush and filling.

Easy seating and the fastest food service I've ever seen. We were done with our meals before the drinks came out. How does that happen? Food came out before the guys came back from paying. Impressive. Now the food was pretty good but nothing great. French toast was small. You need a side with that one. The Leeland Benedict was pretty good but also it wasn't very hot which made me sad. My kid got fries and sliced avocados. No mistakes there. Fries were tasty. Drinks were slow and our carafe that had water in it had these weird orange pieces maybe from the mimosas but still. Outside area huge and great for kids and the DJ was on point

The service, food, ambiance all were a 14/10 ! Not exaggerating! I was in town for the weekend, I got the Honey Chicken Sandwich for brunch. It was amazing! I went back the next day and convinced my friend to get it as well. The waiters were amazing and very attentive while serving over 15 + people at a time (not a party, all in different areas of the establishment). The lavender mimosas were a 10/10 ( I'm not a mimosa person), I definitely recommend! Being big eyed, I got the grits as well. They were good as well! Compared to everywhere I've been this weekend, this is probably my favorite in Houston.

Excellent service for the most part, top notch music, a little pricy but not too bad, awesome people watching on the front deck and they're Fast with the food!

Recently tried Leeland house and had a great experience. The brisket hash was delicious and I enjoyed the Ceecee latte. Our group and I missed the additional coffees listed on the wall and didn't see them until after we ordered. They are posted by a table and not directly behind the counter where you order. It would be helpful if they are also included on the online menu. Cute place overall!

1/13/2024- Came here for breakfast with a party of 9 after the "We are Houston 5k" race. This place was highly recommended by Houston locals and ambassadors to the race. This place is the cutest! We sat outside, it ended up being a beautiful chilly morning. They have an awesome outdoor space. You order inside and they just bring it out to you. The inside is just as adorable. The menu looked amazing. A lot of different options. Some savory, some sweet. We came pretty hungry, and everyone seemed to be super happy by their selection. Some ordered avocado toast, hash, egg sandwiches, etc. I went with the basic breakfast but there was nothing basic about it. Everything on that plate was delicious. The eggs, the bacon, the bread, the potatoes! all of it. The one thing that stood out to us was the fantastic service by the staff. Highly recommended!

Came here for breakfast after the We Are Houston 5K this past weekend and had a lovely experience. Leeland House was recommended to me by an Ambassador for the Houston Marathon who certainly knew what he was talking about - fantastic recommendation! The menu looked amazing but I wasn't that hungry so my friend and I opted to split the avocado toast which ended up being the perfect portion size for both of us. The avocado toast comes with a generous side salad and even two pieces of thick bacon! I really enjoyed the dish. I also LOVED the honey lavender latte - goodness gracious I could have drank like three of them - so delicious! I took away a star due to the whole order at the counter situation and that there are two restaurants that share the same space so I was pretty confused. It was mid-morning on a Saturday and it wasn't too crowded. Seems like it could be a poppin' spot in the evenings. Great outdoor space.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Leeland House for lunch, and I must say, their Crispy Chicken Salad left a lasting impression on my taste buds! The presentation was impeccable; the vibrant colors of fresh greens and veggies were enticing. The star of the show, however, was the crispy chicken. It was perfectly seasoned and had that ideal crunch that made each bite a delightful experience. What impressed me most was the balance of flavors in the salad. The mix of crispiness from the chicken, the freshness of the vegetables, and the tangy dressing created a symphony in my mouth. The portion size was just right for a satisfying yet not overly heavy lunch. The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. The atmosphere at Leeland House is cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch.

Leeland House is a favorite of mine! When I say everything is delicious, it really is. It gets packed so I recommend going early for inside seating, especially on the weekends. Outside isn't too bad since they have fans. It's a great atmosphere and everyone is always so nice. During the weekday, their cauliflower bites are the BEST! Note: You have to pick a table before you go up & order. They ask for your table number, then they bring the food out to you.

Great DJ, great vibes, fast service, flavorful food! Can't get better than that. #sundayfunday

This place has a great vibe. It's a converted house, the inside is intimate with limited seating, however, there is a large outdoor setting with a lot of patio dining options. They had a DJ playing great music so outside it a great option. It does have shade so you can attempt to beat the summer heat. There are no hostess, Find a table first and remember your table number then go up and order at the bar. I had ordered a mimosa carafe fur my friend and I. For my food I ordered the avocado toast which came with mixed greens salad and substituted bacon for a fruit cup. It was an excellent choice as it was filling and met my dietary needs. This is one of my favorite places!

I've said all there is to say about this place! Food A...service....A- sometimes the line is long...and ambiance A+. It's a vibe at Leeland house!!

Tried the classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Everything was tasty! I especially liked the jam that came with the toast, great texture and sweetness. The bacon was thick and the potatoes were crispy!

I went here for brunch over the weekend and everything was good. Customer service was excellent. You order at the bar then seat yourself. They have 2 patios and the inside is a little small. Overall, everything was great. Definitely will be back!

Price: $25 for one person, Brisket Hash and Honey Lavender Latte. Food was good and coffee was even better. The food came out fast and before my coffee got cold, hot coffee and food is always good! I especially enjoyed the sauce they put on Brisket Hash plate. It was not spicy. The only thing, which was my fault, is I didn't get scrambled eggs. I should have ordered them, but with my excitement of trying them out. I forgot. Service was amazing. They were all friendly, attentive, and efficient. Just know, this is not a sit down and order place. You can scan QR code on table and then go to bar to order. Just give them your table number (next to QR) code and they will bring your food to you. Ambiance was very cute and clean. It was perfect to read my book while I ate my brunch! The music was not overpowering and was relaxing. Will definitely come back to enjoy a cup of coffee and SCRAMBLED egg Brisket Hash next time.

The atmosphere is nice, quaint but the food leaves something to be desired. We happened upon Leeland House because shockingly, Brother's Taco House was closed on a Sunday at 10a (que pedo?!) There is no visible menu. You snap the QR code at your table and order at the bar. It's a cute place for first date, BFF brunch but don't come hungry, the food and drinks are underwhelming.

A few friends and I met up here before an astros game and it was pretty good. The inside is kind of small but they have a bunch of patio seating which is where we sat. The day we went it was not that hot outside so we weren't dying of hotness. They also have a bunch of fans outside as well. You basically go in and stand in line, if there is a line, you order your food and they will bring it out to you. Your drinks are made when you order them. I was surprised on how fast the food came out. I had the honey chicken biscuit and thought it was good. I should of asked for some more honey on the side though. The drinks were good. We ordered the pitcher mimosa for $15 and 3 of us shared and got 2 glasses each which we thought was a good deal! I do think the expresso martinis could be a little better. We will be back though!

Came here yesterday morning and it was pretty packed for Sunday brunch. There was a decent amount of seating indoors as well as outdoors on the patio and backyard. The door in the back was left open so there's quite a lot of flies which took away from the experience a little. The place feels homey and cute but the music could have been turned down some because my partner and I pretty much had to shout to hear each other. Menu was a little limited but at least the food came out within 10 minutes of us ordering. I got the crème brûlée French toast which was slightly denser than what I'm used to. Like it was thick lol. Came with two strips of bacon that I wish could've been crispier because they were pretty soft and chewy.

Go to brunch spot! The DJ is always on point and food is so good. I love recommending this place and bringing friends and family here!

Leeland House is just as it says a cute little house close to downtown. I went Saturday and it was packed. Luckily there's a lot of outside seating and even another house attached to the main entrance for seating too. There are 2 bars to sit at and they have some good drink specials for brunch. The food is good but they don't have a kids menu. You order from the bar they give you a number and bring your food to you. The food comes pretty quick. Parking is limited so if you don't get their early you'll have to pay for street parking which is a little over a dollar an hour. My friends had a graduation and birthday party here in the past and it was a good vibe with great drink prices.

I wanted to give this a 3 star but my qualifiers led me to a 4. We went for brunch. First off, sounds like a daggum night club in this place, music too loud. The logistics of placing your order was very weird. Plus, you had to pay before you even got your food. Not a fan of that. I got the Texan pizza and the wife got eggs Benedict (I think). Pizza was good but waitress said fresh jalapeños but they were pickled (had to pull them off). Wife's dish was decent with flavor. The cook (or owner) was much more attentive than anyone else in the place. I mean, I probably won't go back but the food is decent enough to tell you to give it a try.

I came to Leeland house for a private party & it was so nice! I really enjoyed the wide variety of mocktails and Sarah was very knowledgeable on them. The food was amazing & the restaurant was very clean and spacious!

The food was bomb! And mimosa on point. One down side is that there's limited seating in the inside and the tables are small. You order at the register which can be great if you're with a group that has multiple checks.

THE place to go for a good brunch!!!! You can't go wrong with anything you order on the menu; however, I highly recommend the Leeland benedict, brisket hash, or shrimp & grits. All are delicious, great portions, and a great price. Not to mention, mimosa carafes start at only $15! The ambiance is awesome. Live music and lots of seating for parties both big and small. The music can be a bit loud if you sit outside, and it might get a little hot if you're not sitting in front of a fan but luckily there's indoor seating. Good vibes all around. Service is great too, but there's not a ton of interaction with the staff since it's counter ordering. Parking is a bit limited from my experience, but there's plenty of free street parking down the road. When brunch is over, my friends and I like to go inside Around the Corner and continue hanging out there! MAKE THIS YOUR NEW SPOT!!

I ordered the shrimp and grits and a basket of biscuits. The food was great! The service, once I arrived was good too. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. The biggest issue I had was that the online ordering was offline. Not a huge deal, but when I tried calling in an order, no one answered. I was coming off of a night shift, and I would've loved to save 15-20 minutes by ordering ahead of time, but that just wasn't possible.

Grab & Go or Dine in establishment. How it works for dining in is you find a table first and then order your food at the register so they can deliver the food to that assigned table. Very efficient system and lots of patio seating as well as indoor, bar, & high top seating options. Limited vegan options but the drinks are great. I got the pistachio matcha latte that comes with vegan whipped cream. Amaziiiiing. Oatmeal was decent, served with fresh berries. Hash brown were standard nothing fancy. Everyone loved their food though. For you meat eaters, try the Brisket hash and TX Benny. The staff is super nice. Go see my girl Cynthia. She's the absolute best and super helpful and kind.

Came here for a friends birthday brunch on a weekend and wow!! This is a cool spot in Eado to bring friends out, or meet someone for some delicious food and good vibes. They have a really good DJ on the weekend we went and we all loved our food. It was packed and seating is first-come-first-serve so arrive earlier. People also brought their doggos, so feel free to bring your pup and keep in mind of the Houston heat and outdoor seating. Parking was a bit full on the weekend, but you'll find a spot near a block over or down the street. I got the brisket hash which was amazingggg! & the sauce with it was even better. I also added a hazelnut latte, which I'll most definitely be coming back for. Mimosas were good and tasted like champagne, which I prefer! Check out Leeland house if you want some upbeat vibes for your brunch.

Hadn't been here in years and went back last week. Man, still soooo good! And now it's even larger, as it has a combined patio with the neighboring building. Perfect weekday or weekend brunch spot. We went on a Tuesday and it was rather empty. Food was delicious! Need to come back more often. Get the shrimp and grits!

Perfect place for big groups. There is a ton of seating. Went right before game day and it was great to get good food and drinks before. Brisket hash was so delicious!!

Went to grab a quick breakfast before a 12:30 Astros game on a Sunday. Service was super fast and outstanding as well. The biscuits and gravy was phenomenal, although next time I will probably add the extra chicken the bartender recommended. We got a craft of sangria and a cappuccino and latte, all the drinks where spectacular and arrived with 1-2 minutes of our wording them. Really a great brunch at a reasonable price, we will be back!

It's ok, a little price....can't help but think the ownership might be a little cheap, just get that impression. Staff was helpful

Our first time here and it won't be the last. It's a unique setup. There's a QR code and number on the table.. scan the QR to see the menu, then go up to the counter, give them your table number and order. They have a pretty standard hot drink menu plus some fancy pants coffees, teas and cocktails. The brisket hash was good but maybe needed a little more hit of salsa or something to cut through the richness. The Tx Benny was fantastic. I'm rarely impressed by pico in restaurants but this added the acid that the brisket hash was missing. The poached eggs were perfection and the homemade biscuits were light and fluffy. It's a nice spot to just sit and visit right in the heart of EaDo. Parking and seating was pretty plentiful as well. If you're looking to change up your brunch or lunch game, look no further!

First time in Houston and my friend and I wanted brunch. We lucked out and found this spot. The DJ, the music, the prompt service, the food. It was all extraordinary. The food came out SO quickly and was hot and made well. The drinks were delicious. Staff was so accommodating. I will definitely be coming back again!

Food was DELICOUS!!!! I got the honey chicken biscuit omg I could eat that every day!!! I am giving them 4 starts because it was so hot and most seating is outdoors. I wish they had more fans but ultimately the food was so good it was hard to complain. If you get hot easily bring a portable fan and you will be good. I cannot wait to come back and try some more food!

Always have a great time here, mimosa carafes are excellent. Food can be hit or miss. I've had a bowl come out cold with the shredded cheese cold on top and other times the food is great.

I had brunch here for a Meetup Group, and it was a great experience. The service was amazing- the food and drinks came out super fast. The food was really good too, I ordered the shrimp and grits, with mimosas. Overall, 10/10 place for brunch!

Cozy place near the convention center in downtown Houston. Great staff and yummy menu.

Delicious food and friendly staff! High recommend for brunch. Enjoyed their B&G and sangria.

Seats are basically first come first serve and parking is not the best, so just keep that in mind! Service was great. Drinks are STRONG, but I don't mind that! And the food is fresh and delicious! Definitely recommend.
