The Best Restaurants in Houston’s Garden Oaks and Oak Forest | Eater Houston

"This light-filled restaurant is known for its Southern comfort eats, slinging chicken-fried steak with green beans and mashed potatoes, fried Gulf shrimp, and a Texas Reuben sandwich slathered with barbecue sauce. On the weekends, brunch-goers sip on Katz coffee while enjoying plates of plump shrimp atop creamy grits or a fried oyster-stuffed omelet. Take advantage of the restaurant’s new weekday lunch rush menu, a two-course meal for $20 featuring numerous combinations, such as a wedge salad with a short rib grilled cheese." - Brianna Griff

Houston’s Southern Smoke Foundation Hits $1 Million in Grants Distributed to Food Industry Workers | Eater Houston

"I learned that Ken Bridge is moving ahead with a spring opening for his newest project, Millie’s Kitchen & Cocktails, which will open for takeout lunch and dinners starting Friday, April 24; it's located in the former Oak Forest Chill space at 3542 Oak Forest Drive and is inspired by East Coast seafood shacks — think fried clams and lobster rolls." - Adele Chapin

Been a fan of Millie’s for a while. The food is always great, service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is perfect as great place for food and friends. Have not been a big review writer in the past but have decided to step it up as it is important is this age of technology. Millie’s is one of my wife’s and I top 10 restaurants in Houston. We just finished a dozen East Coast Oysters and Blackened Redfish with Lump Crab and it was friggin amazing. If you don’t take the time to give Millie’s in Oak Forest a try, you are making a huge mistake.

Family friendly costal atmosphere. Really hate to give it bad review because it’s a local dinner but I was so disappointed in this experience. We had Millie’s crab balls- decent but wouldn’t order again. Pasta di marre- no go! Had salmon and crab although should focus on shellfish (clam, mussels, & calamari) the sauce was like a broth no taste of tomato. Had a very strong wine smell. Blackened fish was dry and also lacked spices or flavor. Bill was $150. Servers checked in but we honesty felt bad at not liking anything so we didn’t make a big deal and send it back but I have to be honest and hope the team gets honest feedback.

I’ve been to Millie’s 4-5 times. I’ve had brunch, lunch and dinner here and everything I’ve ordered has been delicious! Last night we had 2 dishes off the specials menu: the stuffed flounder and spicy tuna fried rice. Both so good! The manager Maiesha was bartending and she was very helpful and nice to talk to. We’ll be back!

We sat on the back patio with a group of families. The smaller kids took advantage of an enclosed play area (set up for under 5s.) service was fast and attentive. We left around 6 and live music was just starting on the front patio. It’s happy hour on weekdays 3-6 so I enjoyed a beer and we ordered the fried mashed potato balls to share. They weren’t our favorite but we enjoyed our crab cake dinner, kids shrimp and Caesar salad.

It’s not often I say that every dish we had was delicious. We all decided that each dish we had was so good we would order it again (including the pineapple mimosas). We will definitely be back.

Stopped in for dinner and we're quite impressed with the menu selection. We started off with some east coast oysters which were phenomenal. My girlfriend asked for a Mexican martini and they didn't even blink and made it for her. I elected to have a summer pilsner and it was delicious. We tried the tuna poke and a fried platter which was extraordinary. what really separated this restaurant for us was the customer service our waiter was amazing. Gerard took care of us really good. We will return soon!

This is such a cute spot with a wide variety of seating options. The menu is very eclectic, and there are additional options for food available during happy hour. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, which is always appreciated. The food is delicious and filling! I know it's a seafood place, but the chicken salad sandwich is a must try! Side note: all the salt and pepper shakers absolutely made my day!

Delicious food seafood! We ordered east coast oyster, shrimp, lobster rolls and house special cocktails. Really loved the vibe-atmosphere. Awesome table service our waiter was attentive and had the coolest sense of humor. On our first visit it happened to be my birthday. I had a slice of carrot cake that was moist & flavorful.

Great family spot with a wide variety of food and drinks! They have a wonderful outdoor patio in both the front and the back, with big games on the TV. The back also has an enclosed play place. The food is excellent and rich, with large portions. Be sure to try the fish tacos and the gumbo!

I realllllly wanted to love this place because I love the space and location. the interior is super cute but the weather has been so nice lately, we opted for outdoor seating. we also had our dog with us. we ordered mixed fruit infused prosecco to share. for the price, it felt like it was all fruit and no prosecco. they were quite generous with the fruit, none the less. 2 of us ordered bloody marys and they both were made differently. one was super salty with a gazillion capers and the other was salty with no capers. for food orders, we ordered: -bbq shrimp and crab was a huge bust. it tasted like ALL hot sauce and definitely not like new orleans or bbq shrimp like it was described (did I mention i'm from nola?!) -the burger bowl-- our chief complaint was the burger patty was tiny. nothing special about it -a bowl of gumbo but that too lacked protein but the flavor was good -hash brunch dish which had mainly hasbrowns with again, little protein -scallop and grits, had tons of vegetables and not enough grits but flavor was surprisingly delicious. scallops were different but were a little burnt but was ok. food took long and they didn't seem too busy. overall, I rate Millie's 3 stars. not sure if we will try again as the bill was close to $250 and service and food was just mediocre

A random find for Saturday lunch and a good one at that! We didn't know what to order so we just ordered a bunch of random stuff between the 3 of us to split. Cool ranch chips with roasted vegetable queso - 10 out of 10, the chips were delicious and the queso was good too. Shrimp cocktail was basic but good Wedge salad with shrimp, delicious and good dressing. Seared branzino was flaky and delicious, but will try grilled next time. The mashed potatoes were good and most of the vegetables. We got the creme brûlée but wasn't a big fan , the custard was a bit thick and not smooth. I would opt for something else next time. Will definitely go back to try more things as well. I think only 2 ppl were working but service was still good and we felt bad that every thing was on them.

I was looking for a good option to grab lunch with my mom that was pet friendly so that I can bring her grand dog. I love the outdoor seating is spacious and covered so there's plenty of seating options and there is a separate patio in the back for families with children. Our server greeted us immediately upon sitting down as we were the first party to get there. We opted to do their lunch special for $20 we both had lobster bisque, which was really good and had plenty of lobster meat in it. For entrées, I had the spicy Nashville chicken sandwich I was not a fan of the mayo I asked for no mayo, but it was still put on my sandwich. I just scraped it off and dipped it in ranch instead, the sandwich was not spicy at all in my opinion but had a nice crisp to it. We both ordered a glass of rosé I love when restaurants offer a full pour for wine instead of a half you get the most bang for your buck. It was also happy hour all day when we went on a Monday. Service was great. We definitely go back to try other options on their menu as the food looks really good. From the outside doesn't look like much, but the food is worth trying.

What an amazing find. It doesn't look like a restaurant from the road, but inside it is so cute. I wanted to give it a 5 star but a couple things fell short. I'm sure the manager could discuss those with staff, but I review what we see. First of all Food was amazing. The menu items had some different choices than we are used to and we were thrilled. Our service was great. Everyone helped each other and all were willing to accommodate even if was not their section. The ambiance def family friendly and has outdoor dining and a small play area for toddlers, not really set up for older kids. Please give this place a try and don't judge a restaurant by the exterior. We would have missed a great find if we had kept driving. Ok. Now for the things that were negative in our book. Serving soft drinks in the can. Men's bathroom was completely out of soap. Limited Parking so they use a valet. We did not know ahead of time to bring cash for a tip. But overall a solid 4 for sure.

Cute and casual spot for seafood. The seafood pasta was pretty good and probably my favorite on the menu. The lobster roll was pretty small and kind of a rip off. There is lots of seating inside and also a cute patio area. Very family friendly and kid friendly from what I could tell. Servers were nice too.

Eat. Drink. HTX. Millie's Kitchen & Cocktails is such a cute neighborhood restaurant. Tucked into Oak Forest, it was such a chill place to enjoy dinner with a couple of friends. Ordered off the Eat, Drink, HTX menu. This is basically the little sister of Houston Restaurants Week. Brunch and lunch are $15. Dinner is $25 for an appetizer and an entree. Our table got wedge salads and Caesar salads. Reliably good. Service was also very good. For dinner, we all got Gulf Red Snapper. Blackened. Grilled. Seared. The only prep we missed was fried. The blackened was the best of the three. Served with creamy mashed potatoes and steamed carrots and Brussels sprout, it was really a nice special. Next time, I would not get seared. The interior is so cute. Patio seating is available when the weather is nice. Limited parking, but they have complimentary valet available. A nice local spot for dinner with friends.

A couple of coworkers had recommended this spot for lunch and I finally got to check it out the other day. They've got a great lunch special! $20 for an appetizer and an entree from a pretty solid list of options. As soon as I saw lobster hush puppies on the app list, I had to try them. Did they taste like lobster? Not really. Were they still delicious? Definitely. For my main dish I took my coworkers' advice and got the hamburger bowl. Its basically a deconstructed burger without the bun, served with fries, queso, and a fried egg on top. I didn't read the full description beforehand and thought I was ordering something on the healthier side... turns out it's smothered in queso, so not exactly a "light lunch," but no regrets. The burger patty was well-seasoned, the fries were my favorite part, and the whole mix together was so good. Heads up: the portion was huge. Normally that would mean leftovers for the next day but this isn't the kind of meal that reheats well so come hungry if you're ordering this! Service was super fast which is perfect for a lunch break. There was plenty of parking when we went at around 12pm on a Friday. You can choose indoor or outdoor seating which is always a plus. I'll definitely be back.

A charming Oak Forest neighborhood restaurant featuring a large covered patio up front, moderately sized indoor dining area with a private room and covered patio out back with a playground for the kiddos. This has become a go-to lunch spot for us. They have a two course lunch menu that features many of the entrees and starters from the main menu. The gumbo is good, smoked redfish dip is great and calamari good with a cornmeal (?) breading. The lobster bisque is my favorite. Fish and chips is a single fillet that is huge. The Texas Rueben is a clever take on the classic sandwich. My favorite is the Texan Lost in Philly - an excellent version of the Philly cheesesteak. They also have a good happy hour alcohol selection. The space is bright with lots of windows and the team are friendly and welcoming. Give them a try.

Great local place with fresh seafood, salads, sandwiches and a great brunch menu. The ahi tuna burger and shrimp po boys were great. If you want your poboy extra spicy they have siracha mayo and fresh jalapeños. They also have a little turfed area in the back for toddlers

Took a large group for lunch on Friday and the whole experience was top rated. The restaurant was beautiful & eclectic. The service was impeccable. The food was absolutely delicious and location was close to the Heights, so easy to reach from various suburbs. It is rare that everyone is truly impressed with the restaurant choice, but Millie's managed to do that. Luis and Jared were an absolute pleasure to work with. Definitely will be back again. Only recommendation is to possibly add a spice indicator on the menu. Some folks were caught off guard, but the food was too good, so they still ate it.

Tried this place for brunch a few weeks ago and was looking forward to coming back and checking out dinner. Definitely didn't disappoint. We started with the grilled oysters that had really good flavor and a bowl of lobster bisque. For entree I had the shrimp and scallops over cheesy grits. The waitstaff here is very attentive and checked back frequently if we needed anything. Drinks weren't anything worth mentioning but might try something different next time. Definitely worth coming back to and trying more on the menu!

I came the first time for HRW brunch. This time I came for HRW dinner menu. Inside was very cold so we decided to sit outside on the patio. For starters I had the clam chowder and smoked fish dip. The chowder was really chunky, and creamy. I loved it! I also enjoyed the fish dip as well. I tried the mussels in a white wine, garlic cream sauce my husband ordered and the flavor was on point with the sauce. For my entree, I ordered the Scallops & Shrimp w/ grits. The sauce was phenomenal and I really liked the cheesy grits. My critique is that the dishes came out too fast. I still was working on my first two courses and the entree came out fast. So it was sitting getting cold as I'm finishing my appetizers. For my dessert, I tried the bread pudding. It was thinly sliced and a little on the dry side. My husband "slice of cake" came out and looked like it was already a piece of cake that someone already ate. They cut the cake so sloppy and crumbly. We thought it was a joke when it came out thinking the waiter just sat a plate down from another table for a minute. Hubby was not happy with the blackened grouper he ordered initially. For some reason it tasted oily. I was not delighted by the desserts, but everything else about my meal tasted great! Husband had a couple things left to be desired with his meal.

Omg the brunch is delicious! I first found this place last year when I was pregnant with my daughter and fell in love. I always get the Cajun Omelette with a side of grits. The service is kind and very swift. I love that they always play football when it's that time of year and the seating is comfortable.

Delicious brunch! I came here with my friends on Sunday around noon and we were seated immediately - no wait! I was relieved since we were a group of 5 and expected a wait wherever we ended up. This is a cute spot with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We started with some queso and cocktails. I got the chocolate espresso martini and it really hit the spot. For my entree, I ordered the breakfast mac and cheese. My friends got some chicken steak and omelets etc. I also tried the French 75 drink and enjoyed that. Service was good and value for money, quality/flavor etc was on point. Would definitely return!

We went for EatDrinkHTX brunch. Crowded but not packed. The place had a cool vibe. We were unrushed. Had a rough night previously so stuck to coffee and water. They left the water carafe which was appreciated. Went for the pimento cheese and shrimp poboy. The pimento cheese was nice and the house made pickles cut through the fat in the cheese. While a smaller portion for the menu it was still plenty. The poboy was good - Barry large shrimp but the breading had a hart time staying on. Sauce was good. Some of the better fries I have had in a while. Wife had the tuna burger which looked good. Valet as parking was limited.

Came for Brunch (12pm) to try Houston Restaurants Weeks. The Lobster Hush Puppies, Pimento dip, Denver Benedict and Fried chicken biscuit were large portion sizes and at a great price. Food and drinks were delicious. Great HRW offerings and now we want to go back to try their normal menu. Parking is limited, but there is a valet for Sunday Brunch. No reservations, walk-ins, small cozy interior. Good for small groups up to 6 since the interior is more cozy intimate. Def will be back!

I went here for the first time during restaurant week. I've been going ever since. The food is made from scratch and is fast. They change the menu up so don't get married to any dishes. But rest assured l, whatever they add will be equally as delicious

This was a nice find while driving through the neighborhood. Parking is valet only though you can find a space on your own nearby. It's housed in an old gas station and the staff wear shirts that are a tribute to its prior iteration. The cocktails are good and varied. The cold brewed old fashioned was delicious and the chocolate espresso martini was sweet and perhaps best as a dessert. We had the lobster hushpuppies which felt a little pretentious and tasted fishy. I had the grotto platter, shrimp, scallops and cod. Nicely breaded, the shrimp and scallops were well done. The cod was beer battered and big which unfortunately meant the batter was uncooked and liquidy in the center of the fish. All in all this is a solid contender.

If I were on death row, my last meal would be Millie's fried pickles. Millie's has risen in my life to the go-to brunch spot for my family in GOOF. They are not fussy. This is nice, down to earth, clean neighborhood service. They have a small dining room (~12 seated appx) for semi-private dining. Food is always really great eating. There is no expresso here. Just as an aside -- Historically, I'm not a huge fan of how coffee is sometimes served in styrofoam cups here (was an issue once back in April but haven't had the same issue the past two times I've gone). I appreciate how my request for a real mug is consistently abided by the staff, so just remember you can do that when eating at places insisting on still using styrofoam.

OK, so I wanted to support a local business on Small Business Weekend, so I decided to try Millie's in GOOF (that's Garden Oaks - Oak Forest, for those of you in Rio Linda). Short version: a very quaint locale with a lot of customers and pretty decent oysters, but be armed with patience and a good bottle of hot sauce. Long version: I was craving some comfort food after the annual Thanksgiving binge, so when I found out that Millie's had both a 2-course lunch and dollar oysters on Friday, I was on it like a duck on a bug. Here's where things go a little loco. I had no idea who my server was! One guy asks me for a drink order, then he disappears after delivering my water and I don't see him again until later. Then a Hispanic woman behind the bar asks me for my order. Uh, who dis be? So I order a dozen on the half shell. If there's one thing I don't like, it's not knowing who your server is. ZAP - one star gone. Now, the one good thing about this place - hence the 3 stars - are the oysters. Not only were they freshly shucked and fat, but also delivered with a ton of condiments. Pic attached as proof. But Millie's - do you know how to count? I only found 11 oysters on my plate. I asked for a dozen. After trying to wave down the clueless girl behind the bar for what seemed like an eternity, the first guy (who took my drink order) finally swings by and I explain the situation. After another wait, I finally get my twelfth oyster. Did a manager come by personally to apologize for the mishap? NO. Was I offered anything else? NO. ZAP - second star gone. The oysters were OK but could have been a little saltier. Given the fact that they were so fat, I would guess that their oyster supplier probably didn't let them mature in salt water. Let me explain: You see, in Southeast Texas and all across southern Louisiana, oyster beds are usually started in freshwater so that the oysters can grow quicker. Then, about a month or two before being harvested, they are transplanted into salt water so they can absorb the sodium and make for a delicious bivalve. Not these oysters. They were too flabby and sweet, which necessitated a good douse of Tabasco and lots of lemons. In this instance, size didn't mean anything to me. (Yes, I know what I said, bitches!) Anyway, the oysters were the high point of the lunch. I ordered the 2-course express lunch, which is a steal at $17. I decided on an oyster po'boy with the andouille gumbo. The gumbo was served piping hot, which was great. However, it was probably the blandest I've ever eaten. Plus, it too needed a lot of Tabasco to pick it up. This experience is rare for me - I've had gumbo from all over, many of which were infinitely better. Heck, even the Pappas people know how to make gumbo - and you already know how I feel about them. The oyster loaf was good. The oysters - 4 or 5 in all - were breaded in cornmeal and quick-fried, then served on a dressed bun like they do in New Orleans. Not bad! The accompanying salad was delicious, with the strawberry vinaigrette on the side. What really bothered me was the whole atmosphere here. As some of the previous Yelpers have noted, service is either hit or miss. And on top of that, you could tell who the regulars were from the way the bar staff was treating them. The real zinger was the first guy who took my drink order and then was AWOL for most of my lunch. He actually picked a fight with the Latina cantinera behind the bar, right in front of me! Uh, excuse me, but you should either take it to the back and straighten it out, or just not argue in front of the customers and let a manager sort it out. Speaking of which - where the heck WAS the manager? It seemed as if it was nothing but controlled chaos in the front of the house. Someone needs to step up and make sure that this restaurant is running like a well-oiled machine, because it sure wasn't the case when I was there. SMH... So - will I return? For the oysters, maybe. For the po' boy, maybe. I'll have to see if there is anything else worthy of notice here. Stay tuned, Yelpers!

The snapper was as delicious as any I ever had, but the lump crab was oddly un appetizing But the venue is fantastic with live music on Thursday I'll be back for more

When walking inside, it was a tad confusing on if we needed to seat ourselves or wait for somebody as there was nobody at the host stand. Once seated, the service was very quick. The drinks were tasty. The food was mediocre. It wasn't the best food I've ever had, but it wasn't unappealing. The ambiance was alright, I thought of it more as a nicer-styled bar.

This was the second time I've been to this restaurant and the first time was a much better experience. This time I took my daughter and made the mistake of ordering the calamari which tasted like something I would've bought at a grocery store in the frozen food section. Very salty and chewy. I also ordered a half salad which was more like a quarter of a salad which consisted of arugula, dressing, and a few Parmesan shavings. The entire regular salad with avocado and Parmesan costs $17. My little bitty quarter of a salad was $10. Avocado would've costed me two dollars more When I complained to our server who acted more like a robot with no emotions at all pretty much told me there's nothing she could or intended to do about it and she'd already run my credit card. My daughter was planning on coming back with her husband, but neither one of us will ever return to this place.

Me and my Fiancé drove 35 minutes to have brunch the day after our proposal. Their scheduled hours say they close on Sunday @4pm. We arrived at 2:30 and upon entering the store we were kindly met and told "we are closed early due to lack of buisness". He confirmed they can do this and will do this in the future. So how can the consumer trust a buisness who does not stay to their word and listed buisness hours. Completely unacceptable, very disappointed especially seeing this was my first impression as I have never been here before. Date May 25,2025.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Millie's. We came for brunch and had an amazing time. Here's what we ordered, all of which was awesome: - Best Eva Chowder - BLT Omelet - Arugula Omelet The clam chowder was your classic chowder and I couldn't have asked for more there. The BLT Omelet had this delicious sauce that brought all the ingredients together. The Arugula Omelet similarly had such a moisture to it, which made the medley of vegetables work in unison. May have been the way they sautéed the onions or mushrooms but I devoured it before I could give it too much more thought. Will definitely be back again soon!

We were here for the Eat Drink HTX week. Such a random restaurant in a residential neighborhood. Didn't expect much and turned out to be great. Service is exceptional and super friendly. By the the observation looks like the customers are regular at this restaurant. Food is also good. Glad we gave it a try.

Cute and quaint. Service was great and nice menu selections. Extensive cocktail and spirit menu. Ordered chowder and calamari for appetizers. Both were great but the chowder stand out. Delicious. Lobster roll left much to be desired. While it has a nice taste it was such a small amount of lobster for the price. Hot chicken sandwich my son ordered was massive and spicy! Fish tacos were also spicy and a good portion. The desserts were average. The bread pudding was really just French toast. Next time I'd skip dessert.

What a cool little neighborhood restaurant. We took some business clients that came in from Japan to have a little bit of a local experience. The weather was nice so we sit outside. A couple of us had the espresso martini which was fantastic. They ran out of espresso and even were nice enough to go out and get more so we could have another. We all started with a cup of gumbo, which was good. Definitely a nice variety of options to choose from. I saw a bunch of people getting oysters. I'm definitely doing that my next go round.

One of my favorite brunches this year. We found Millie's on Yelp while waiting to be served at another restaurant in the area for almost 45 min. Brunch was on our mind, and Millie's serves it 'til 3pm. Our table of four was immediately seated, and we started with a dozen East Coast oysters and calamari. The calamari was perfectly cooked and served with a zesty marinara and arugula dressed with lemon vinaigrette. Our table rounded out brunch with the caesar salad with shrimp, Creole omelette, salmon benedict, fish and chips, and pancakes (for our dessert!). Salmon benny is my go-to brunch order - I get it anytime it's available; and Millie's is my favorite in Houston - salmon was perfection, as was the hollandaise. My niece loved the fish and chips, but take note that the filets are thicccc; actually, all of the portions are large, so consider sharing. My sister's favorite was the side of grits with cajun cream sauce, which came with her creole omelette. There isn't much onsite parking, and what's available is valet. But you can find street parking. No complaints. It was an all around lovely brunch. We didn't try any desserts (other than the deeeeelish, homemade tasting pancakes), but would love to see beignets on the menu. :)

Went on Wednesday evening for first time. Service below average. Did the preset menu with wine pairings. Nothing explained and courses came at different time than other three people at the table. Food was good.

Came here for dinner and went with the restaurant week menu please a few appetizers. Absolutely worth it. Every penny. Chowder - lots of potatoes but not overtly salty which is a win and it came with the puffed crackers rather then the saltines crackers. Lobster roll with Salad - the best lobster roll I can recall. The portion size, the ratio of bread to lobster, the flavor, the texture, the everything. Absolute perfection. If anyone asked me how to describe a lobster roll. I would say to come here. I don't do repeats but this is definitely an exception. No Bueno calamari - too fried and thick batter, loved the arugula Salad it came with though. Brussels sprouts - good flavor but nothing special Hush puppies - didn't taste lobster and didn't like the sauce pairing. Not really sure what I was expecting here. Flounder - good lemon butter sauce. Great dish. Gumbo - salty and peppery. Great customer service. Decent timing of food to come out. Clean. Cute table accessories that are all different in each table. Extremely worth it restaurant week menu. Glad I made the long drive to check this place out. 5 stars for the lobster roll and the flounder dish. Everything else was average or below but with the 5 and the great customer service, I went with an overall 4.

Will absolutely not go back! we had a hard time getting seated and the server (Parker) told one of the elderly ladies in our group that he didn't care where we went to eat, we could find another restaurant and then proceeded to call her a c*nt. I am literally at a loss for words and the crab cake sucked!

Pictures speak a thousand words so take a look! Met up with three friends here for brunch because we wanted to try them out for restaurant week. When we got there, I noticed they had valet which was absolutely ridiculous because the parking area is so run down. So it just feels like an unnecessary money grab. Anyways, we parked a little further up the street and walked over. It was packed when we got there but we were told to sit wherever so we grabbed a table on the enclosed patio area. I wasn't taken in by the ambiance or much of anything but, I was willing to give it a try. Out of the RW menu, I got the lobster hushpuppies, and the crab cake Benedict, along with fries. I tried to get a flavored mimosa but they didn't have the one I wanted. Our food came very quick and it was disgustingggg!!!!! The hush puppies were so nasty, the crab cake Benedict was mediocre and the fries were horrific. Then, on top of that, my friend's pancake wasn't cooked all the way and her shrimp & grits had to be remade. The experience was underwhelming and I'm so sad about it because I was looking forward to a good brunch. Sigh.

I've been here before which I was impressed the first time but the second time I was visiting and I got a chance to review their lunch menu specials. It was very nice day to enjoy their patio. Nice selection of dishes the price.I got a chance to treat my three friends without breaking the bank and still enjoying the food.

Had a great meal here with excellent service from Kelly! We met up some friends who have a baby so it was a very family friendly restaurant. We got there a little early to get some of the happy hour specials. They have a good selection of beers, cocktails, wine and small bites on the HH menu. I ended up getting the Moscow mules for my drink of choice that night. For the apps, we got the chips and queso, the pimento cheese, and the brussel sprouts. All of them were so good! Great apps to share with the table! For dinner we got the grotto combo and the branzino crab cake. The grotto combo was good but there was a lot of breading on the scallop. We ended up picking a lot of it off, but the scallops themselves were delicious. The branzino crab cake entree was my favorite of the 2. I substituted the Cole slaw for mashed potatoes for an up charge, but worth it cause I don't like cole slaw. The branzino was cooked perfectly and the 2 small crab cakes were full of jumbo lump crab meat. We did order dessert, but that really fell short for me. I got the crème brûlée and it was honestly one of the worst ones I've had. The custard was really thick and the caramelized sugar on top wasn't even. Some parts were super thick and so I ended up scrapping it off. If you want to get dessert, stick with one of their cake slices. Kelly informed me that they get it from Kenny and Ziggy's. Overall, great service and very chill ambiance. You seat yourself and great for kids and families.

What a great experience from beginning to end from the servers Colin and Mario, and the cooks Lucas and Miquel, to the chef Armando who made some incredible dishes. Miles the Expo and of course the Manager Maisha. Everyone made our Brother and sister in laws 10 year Anniversary a special one who were visiting from China. We will be back before they go back to China. Ask for any all if you want exclusive, excellent, and exceptional service.

Love everything about this place! Cute atmosphere inside and out-has a diner vibe to it in a way, but in the old school soda and milkshakes kind of way. The food is great! We've been there for brunch twice now and have absolutely loved all components of our meals both times! This last time I got the Cali Benedict, where they use tomato slices instead of English muffins and it was so much better than I imagined! And I didn't feel overly full afterwards like I usually do. They also have great French fries, which I think is an important factor when I'm trying to decide where to eat. Would definitely recommend! I'm sure we'll be back soon to try more of the menu-everything on it sounds amazing!

Came here for a private event and was blown away about how great the staff is. They really took care of everything and did a great job in doing so as well. They have nice selection of different spirits as well as brews as well. We had light bites during the event which was tasty as well. The inside is on the smaller side, but they have a great patio in the front and back. It's a shame I have never heard of this spot until now because this is truly a hidden gem in the area. Can't wait to come back and try some more of their menu!

The food took forever to be served. The food was not good. My burger was over cooked and other people at our table were not pleased with their food either. My friend was served a martini with one side of the glass broken. Apparently, there was a party in the room behind me and our waiter was given way too many tables to serve. We will never be going back. Not worth 120.00.

I came to brunch with the girls a week ago and the food was good. I wanted to bring my fiancee to try and I was so excited to get the coffee but when we got there at 2:20pm they said they closed early because it was slow... we drove 40 minutes. They original closing time was 4:00 pm this happened on May 25th 2024 ...
