SwitcHouse

Our whole experience was very pleasant! The minute we walked in, we were greeted and sat within seconds. Our waitress’s name was Francesca. She was very nice to us and gave us top notch service! The main event of it all was the food. We ordered a build your own Omelet and the Engineer’s Breakfast. Everything we experienced in the food was magical. If you guys are reading this and you’re in the Spring, Tx / Woodlands area, please make your way to SwitcHouse! You will not be disappointed!

Food was delicious, Great Service, we had brunch in the patio with our puppy. Portions are well served for the price. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Our next family food adventure take us to Switch house inside of Houston city place Marriott with a category 4.2 and more than 385 reviews this restaurant grill Inspired by the railway tradition and nature of the region, SwitcHouse Plates & Pours offers food with a focus on iron, oak, and smoke in a casually elegant paired with upscale rustic decor. Our waiter Amy very friendly, helpful and always coming over to see how everything was, for that reason I think the customer service was incredibly first class. But the important thing here was the food coming warn and delicious, the presentation of every plate is like the food talking to us eat me and enjoy. Thanks to the chef or the staff working in the Kicthen we really enjoy eating at the Switchuose tonight.

The ingredients were fresh and delicious! I ordered the gyros plate, and everything on it was fantastic. The portion sizes were generous, leaving me enough to save for dinner! Despite the busy lunch crowd at noon, the service met my expectations. All the staff were very kind and helpful. I will definitely be back for more!

I ordered the Wedge Salad with chicken. It was ok. I do agree with the other's comments that the wait is a little long. We were not in a hurry since we were watching a movie after, but definitely felt it.

We stayed at the Marriott Hotel and decided to have breakfast downstairs. We ordered a Pancake kids plate for the little one also a French toast plate and a Chilaquiles plate. Total cost came out to be $44 and some change. Great price for 3 meals. I recommend the Chilaquiles plate it was very flavorful best way to start your day. Also later that day we came back for some drinks my wife had a dirty martini and I had the smoked old fashioned they were lovely. The staff was amazing both shifts were very knowledgeable, friendly and fast. We will definitely come back.

SwitcHouse had a great selection on their menu and 10/10 food quality. I got the gumbo bowl and it was delicious. My coworkers got the Cobb salad (she took 1/2 home as it was a big portion), Brisket Tacos, and the Burger. Our server was very nice and welcoming, she took great care of us. Will definitely go back to try other dishes. Valet service is available, however, there are street parking options as well.

This restaurant was amazing! It was truly a hidden gem. It's located on the bottom level of the Marriott hotel . There is a parking garage across the street that's kind of hard to find but it's empty and it was free. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very intimate. There weren't a lot of people inside and it was very elegant. Our waiter wasn't that friendly. He seemed tired or ready to go. Maybe annoyed I'm not for sure. But overall we had a great time. The food was amazing and we'll be back. It was a great date night.

I stayed at the Marriott for a work trip (really nice hotel btw) and we had a customer dinner at switchouse, and it was a really nice dinner. First the place is pretty, they have great decoration for the holidays, nice touches everywhere. Second the food was actually really good, I had the filet mignon and it was delish. It comes with green beans, mash potato and a mushroom. I don't care for that kind of mushroom and the sides were a little small but enough for me. The Cesar salad was super delish and a huge plate. The French 75 was meh.. and I took a star off because the prices are pretty high. $52 for the filet hurt. If it wasn't for work paying, I wouldn't spend that. Overall a great dinner, in a beautiful ambiance, and a really nice attentive waitress.

I was a little disappointed with switch house. The food + drinks were just ok and pretty expensive.I went on a Tuesday after work and it was completely empty. We got the dirty fries and conductors queso. Both apps were pretty good but they didn't blow me away. I preferred the dirty fries personally. I also got a mezcalita and it was pretty good & strong. The service was really good though. Shoutout to our waiter.

Came here with some friends over the weekend who were from out of town and recommended this spot. My friend grabbed a Queso dip for an appetizer. I believe it had chopped brisket & some grilled veggies in it. It was just ok, nothing special. Additionally, they only brought a handful of chips. Definitely wasn't enough chips to accommodate the dip. I grabbed the bolognese pasta for my meal. First bite, I thought it was pretty good. As I continued eating, it just tasted average. Flavors were good but nothing spectacular. Service could've been better. Our waitress couldn't really understand us, language barrier. I asked to sample one of the beers on draft, she came back with a whole glass; fortunately it was good. On top of that, they were out of a lot of stuff they had listed on their menu. Ok place but I don't have to come back.

It's an absolute treasure when there is an eatery in your home away from home stay that serves up some good bites. Popped in here on my last night at the CityPlace Marriott and came with a hankering for a burger. Boy did they deliver. I sadly have no idea the name of my burger as it was a newer menu or maybe seasonal so I cannot locate it on their website. It was a steak burger cooked medium rare paired with fresh tomato, arugula, aioli, and a black seasame bun, with a side of sweet potato fries. Also had a taste of the Dirty fries appetizer, a definite recommend if you're looking for something to go along with a couple brews. The brisket and queso while incredibly messy make this a great pairing to throw a few back to. Service was stellar and personable. The ambience is great for a girls night out or in if your guests of the hotel.

Extremely slow service. Almost 12 minutes before our drink order was taken.. food was ok but not worth the price

Here's a life hack for you, hotel restaurants. We decided to check this place out for Mothers Day brunch and we're pleasantly surprised by the selection. They offered a $65 brunch buffet which had a wide variety of foods and desserts that were fresh and tasty. Also, given that it was a holiday is was very quiet which was enjoyable. I also really enjoyed the cups they used lol. The waitstaff were alright, as they were just kind of standing around staring at everyone. A final thing to note, if you valet they won't validate your parking.

The ambiance is beautiful but we had breakfast there and it was not worth the price. The service was just okay.

I have eaten brunch at SwitcHouse on several occasions and enjoyed the great food and ambiance so I chose this as my 50th birthday location. My Mom called and spoke with the manager, Arlene, as she wanted to have some appetizers for my party before everyone ordered. When Arlene heard it was a group she recommended appetizer trays which had wings, pork ribs, brisket sliders, loaded potatoes and pickled peppers. I wish I would have taken a pic! They looked and tasted amazing so it was a good recommendation. We also ordered the Conductor's queso and if you're a cheese lover you need to try it out. The consistency along with the smoky brisket is great. I've had the Railcar Egg Benedict several times (a solid choice and I love that it's on a Texas sized muffin) so I changed it up to the Shrimp and Grits. I was a little hesitant with the cherry tomatoes at first but the combination of blackened shrimp and creamy grits all came together nicely. Our waitress was attentive and the entire party had a great time.

Yes Please. This restaurant is inside of the hotel. Very nice inside, the customer service is a delight and the food is amazing. Great vibes and good music while you enjoy your date.

The food and drinks at happy hour were awesome. Service was quick and well delivered. Ribs, dirty fries and gumbo were to notch. Outside seating is covered and picturesque. Definitely a keeper.

My cousin and I were searching for a brunch spot nearby. This place has a good rating. It is inside of the Marriott in a cute little shopping district with other food venues. We were seated immediately by the window. Chris was our waiter and he was great. The ambiance was nice and the service was super fast. We had mimosas with pineapple juice. I will definitely visit again when I am in town.

Ambiance is nice, upscale. Service has been attentive but lacks experience. Hopefully the food will be good!

Beautiful inside and out. Outstanding decor. Sat at the bar as it was busy at lunchtime. The Seafood Stuffed Avocado was amazing. The avocado was stuffed with fresh crab/seafood mix, topped with cheese and baked . So Good Y'all! Such a refreshing twist on the usual stuffed avocados.

Great bar. Service can be slow. I was only here getting Old Fashions, three times for three drinks !! Cheers !! The bar and dining area were clean, and the staff was very professional. Several folks were eating but I never saw a menu so I can't tell you what they offer. Be warned, Old Fashions are $20 !!! Holy Crap !!!

This was such a nice place for our date night! We started off with a Blue Moon on draft and a Switch 75 (such a pretty drink). For the meal, I had the Bayou Rice Bowl which was nice and light and my date had the wedge salad with blue cheese. We shared the avocado fries; so yummy! Since it was a special night, we also ordered a blueberry Moscow mule they had on the menu and an old fashioned. The waitress asked if we were celebrating anything and we shyly mentioned it was our 6 month anniversary, and she surprised us with a beautifully plated dessert on the house. That was such a sweet touch and made us feel extra special. We loved our experience!

SwitcHouse has a really nice outdoor seating area with weekend live music from the park that my wife thoroughly enjoyed. We shared the hummus appetizer, which was large enough for 4. We also ordered some superb house cabernets.

If you look up the definition of "service" in the dictionary, it says Christopher, Amy, and Vincent! This team has raised the bar for me in Houston. We continue to come back and book this hotel for the sole reason of the staff at this bar. Come one, come all, come hungry and really to ball! Thanks for the fantastic service again, Amy, Christopher, and Vincent!!

We absolutely love AMY, VINCENT, and CHRISTOPHER. They are excellent servers and we keep coming back because of them!!! Keep up the great work SwitcHouse!

It was okay! I expected more. We had brisket tacos and the sampler. The food was cold and our server made many mistakes. I will give this restaurant another try. Oh and they have a happy hour that's pretty good

Stopped by for a drink and a snack and it was such a nice place. The Fried Avocado Strips are THE BEST! Located perfectly in a new trendy spot in Spring/The Woodlands.

Happy I came, jealous I didn't come sooner!!! Wonderful culinary experience, and a great service! Showed up right before lunch and had brunch food instead. Omelette The Whole Hog was great, but potatoes were out of this world. Hands down!!! Banana Foster with French Toast was let's say decadent. I had to stop eating it! While it was great it was really rich.... Special thanks to our waitress Blanca who knew the menu in and out and guided us to make great selection!!!

Amy & Christopher is the best bar tenders ive ever had. Afternoon and evening, when these 2 are serving, its the definition for of service. They also make great drinks

This place is located inside Marriott CityPlace hotel. I would recommend getting a drink here, but skipping eating food here. The first night, got a cable car mixed drink. That was delicious and highly recommend. The fried orange was a nice touch. The last day we ate breakfast here. The house smoked brisket hash sounded delicious. We were not super hungry and decided to split breakfast. The hash looked really cute in cast iron skillet. The item description did not match what was served. There was no fingerling potatoes, onions, or peppers. Rather cubed potato and sweet potato fries. I am not sure what the meat was, but it was not brisket. The eggs were not fried but scrambled. They did not taste like real eggs, but rather from a container. There was no cilantro and way too much cheese. The hotel was dead so not sure if this makes a difference in food q This place gets 3 stars because I would recommend the bar. Eat somewhere else.

Decided on a whim (read desperately looked for a place with open Valentine's Day reservations) to try them out. As it's a hotel restaurant for the Marriott, parking in the evenings can be somewhat scarce or distant, but was manageable. If walking in from street parking, the first entrance door you run across isn't the hostess station. You'll need to walk over to where the hotel joins the restaurant to be greeted. They easily found our reservation and we were promptly seated. Next comes the only downside of the evening...the maître d' has warned us it'd be a few minutes until a server came by. He wasn't kidding, it was a full 15-20 minutes later. This is the sole reason for 4 of 5 stars. As we'd had a chance to look at both the "special" Valentine's Day menu (which would set you back $75/pp) as well as the normal menu, our server took both our drink order and our food order simultaneously. My wife opted for the Smoked Beef Tenderloin and I chose the Black Angus Strip Steak. I was able to easily swap out items on mine (from loaded potatoes and asparagus to a house salad and sweet potato fries) without a twitch from the server. It should be noted that the "loaded potatoes" are diced, roasted potatoes with cheese and bacon loaded on top. The asparagus stalks were simply ENORMOUS. My salad was crisp and fresh with a healthy amount of dressing server separately. The sweet potato fries were well above average. The entrees - Smoked Beef Tenderloin ($29)- It comes pre-sliced (though you'll likely cut those slices up) in a gravy/glaze on top. It was near fork-tender, with a smoky flavor that reminded me of a top-tier brisket. It was heavenly. Black Angus Strip Steak ($28)- like the Tenderloin, it was served on a cast-iron plate, but with only the lightest chimichurri/butter glaze. Like the Tenderloin, it was cooked to medium specification. A tad crispy from the sear, it was nonetheless excellent. Of note: ambiance was decent, booths are romantic, if a bit springy. The Steak knives are 10 1/2" tomahawk knives that look like something you'd hunt with in the outback! We definitely enjoyed it and will return soon!

Don't dare go to this place..I'm a foodie,aka Mr.ole fashioned. I made 8pm reservations sat on patio ordered 2 ole fashioned and a Pepsi for my client, checking out the place to have a retirement party,but wad told that a bigger party came in after us and was told their order was more important than mines..For future reference Don't go here...coming from a 2million plus followers..I'm not being asshole,but good service needs to be recognized but this evening the service was null and void..service needs more training never tell a guest that a Bigger party is more important than anyone!!!will not return...not to mention the 3 tables with white patrons who ordered after our my table received their before us.

We visited Switchouse twice while staying at the Marriott, once for drinks and once for breakfast. Good full-service bar with decent selection of cocktails and craft beer. I had a barrel aged Manhattan, and it was decent but served a little warmer than normal. Breakfast- We had the Texas brisket hash. Very disappointing dish that did not match the menu description. Frozen sweet potato fries, frozen potatoes, Velveeta cheese and strange bits of beef that were definitely not brisket. Where were the brisket and the fingerling potatoes? I recommend complete disclosure when deviating from the menu description. Otherwise, it just doesn't seem honest to customers, especially when substituting low grade products for high grade ingredients. Service: Good service Overall cleanliness: above average

The atmosphere was nice, the food was good. The brisket that was on the burger was tender and the presentation was elegant. It's a nice place if you don't want to be too fancy but not too cheap.

Decided to try SwitcHouse for happy hour because it is new in the area. The restaurant and bar was SOOOO clean and smelled so good! There were numerous happy hour options for drinks (cocktails, beer, and wine) and snacks. I tried the Pimm's; it had strawberry and ginger and wasn't too sweet. I tried the chicken wings and the flavor was good but the chicken skin was pretty thick (and fatty) - I guess you don't notice this as much when they are fried, so it's kind of a trade off. We had quite a large party (8-14 at all times, people coming and going) and we were treated really well by the staff because we all know how large parties can sometimes become frazzling. But, we were the only table in the establishment for about an hour and given how empty it was, the staff was pretty unattentive. We had to order at the bar and they did notice when new people joined the table, which is pretty easy to do when a restaurant is empty :) I did enjoy the atmosphere (bright natural light and lots of windows, vibrant decor, etc.), drinks, and food and would like to go back and try SwitcHouse again and will update the review based on the next experience(s).

I recently stayed at Marriott and wanted a quick sit-down meal, so I decided on the Switch House. I was seated quickly, and my server even brought me water before I could sit down. Since it was my first time, I was indecisive about what to get, so my server showed me options and helped me pick a meal. The server's name was Kaitlyn, and she was so sweet, patient, and respectful toward me. She made me feel at home, and I wish more servers like her were out there! I will for sure come back and visit again!

I took my wife to switchhouse for her birthday while we were staying at the Marriott. We decided to eat in rather than go to a fancy restaurant and neither of us regrets this decision. Jake was our server and he provided possibly the best service we can recall having. He offered up recommendations for a sweet tasting wine and we ended up picking a bottle of Justin. Im not a huge fan of cab, but this was very pleasant. Jake gave us tasters of a couple different wines before we made our decision. We ordered fried avocados and the house nachos with the intent of eating those and accessing where we were at, hunger-wise, after that. The avocados were delicious, but the nachos were on another level! The queso was melted into a skillet and it was so delicious that we contemplated a late-night room service call for a second helping... Jake brought a second basket of chips so we could finish the queso dip that was left over; we cleaned the skillet. Jake also arranged for a strawberry shortcake made with biscuits for her as a complimentary birthday dessert. The biscuits went very well with the strawberries and cool whip and was a pleasant surprise. Overall, the meal was fantastic, Jake was an excellent server and we thoroughly enjoyed our bottle of wine. 5* and fully recommend!

The food is amazing and the staff is friendly and efficient. Since I am staying in the Marriott it is also very convenient. Wide selection of menu items.Beef Tips were cooked to perfection.

I am a Marriot Ambassador member, so I come here often. Amy has continued to exceed my expectations when it comes to service and attitude. Amy raises the bar for all of her peers. She is a natural!

Amy and Christopher know what great service is. Every time we come in, they take the best care of us. They are friendly and fun! 10/10 will come back.

First time here and thought it is a great restaurant. Plenty of parking in the front or there is a garage nearby. It's connected to the Marriott hotel but may not be completely associated so you may not get points eating here but the food makes up for that discrepancy. The service was great and plenty of beers on tap or bottle. I had the steak and it was cooked perfectly. The salmon was perfect and probably better than the steak. We also tried the avocado fries and they were really tasty. It's down the road from the Woodlands mall so if you don't feel like battling the crowds come eat here, you won't be disappointed!!

I came here because I saw pictures online and I thought it would be a nice place to catch up with a friend over dinner. I think the atmosphere is great-let me warn you-it's at a Marriott which I wasn't expecting. I think this place is good for drinks but not dinner. I had beef tips with mashed potatoes. I was really surprised that the server didn't asked how I wanted it cooked-when I got my dish, it was a little bit more rare than what I expected. Flavor was okay. Definitely wasn't worth the money. Maybe I'll try this again in the future for happy hour drinks and appetizers.

Such a beautiful location/interior ! We went for breakfast which was great and had some mimosas. Service was great and quick. Wish we waited a little longer to try the lunch menu. Will definitely be returning

I ate here on Thanksgiving. About 6pm. Sat at the bar. Very disappointing! Here are the issues: 1. Thanksgiving buffet - everything was cold. Turkey slightly edible. Ham was the worst I've ever eaten. Stale rolls. Then tried the pizza which was terrible. 2. There were 2 TV's on the same news channel. I asked for the football game but was told no. No reason. Meanwhile the game was on in the main hotel area. 3. I received the check and was shocked to find 18% gratuity was added. I have never had that happen before for 1 person. I normally do not analyze my check, but I was curious how much the buffet cost. I was about to add 20% when I noticed the 18% had already been added. So, note to the bartender - inform the customer that you have already added the gratuity. So, suffice to say Switchhouse will never see me back. Plus I work nearby and will advise others to avoid this place.

Came here due to the pictures online, however arrived to no host , was seated after 15 mins, then waited for an ~1 hour in a corner table. While there we were completely ignored by wait staff as others at-least were offered something to drink. Would not recommend a stop here, very unprofessional.

Came here on business staying at the Marriott. The Switchback is next-door to have dinner. The drinks and food very good. Jeff the bartender took care of me. Tulena and Francis were great food was hot and fresh tried the switchback burger on garlic bread. Like to thank Carlos an Marco as well. Will be back again

I'm a burger fan, so obviously I tried their best one, the Switchouse Burger at $18 and it looked good to be sure. It tasted like a frozen burger that was then cooked very well done. I only took two bites and couldn't eat the rest. I filled up on fries and their fried avocado strips which were both pretty good. Also, we went at lunch time and wanted to order a drink but the bartender wasn't due to arrive until 4:00 p.m. and so they couldn't serve us. We even called ahead and asked if they were open and had a bar. Won't be returning any time soon. The server was nice enough but not very attentive and when she asked how everything was and I expressed that I wouldn't be finishing it, she didn't really know how to respond and just walked away in an awkward manner.

The SwitchHouse bar staff at Marriott CityPlace is truly terrific. Amy, Jeff and Tulena were all fabulous hosts and excellent bartenders, conducting easy conversation, attending to a busy bar and all while making everyone feel welcome and cared for. The drinks were certainly tasty and generous, but the kindness and friendly atmosphere made my four day stay in Spring, TX rank well above average!

I had the Turkey sandwich with a side salad. Very delicious. My sister has the beef tips and gravy again, very delicious. It feels a little upscale. Very nice. Would recommend

Amazing service and delicious food! We would definitely eat here again. Our waiter was so great! We didn't get his name but he was on shift the night of 6/18/22. If he sees this, the "boss man" and his pregnant wife really loved your recommendation on the cheesecake

Yikes! Why is Yelp and google reviews so much different? I would say avoid this place when there are so many better options, like free hotel breakfast! Lol ordered food took a while I guess they had to wait for it to get cold! Which is what it was cold food!

It's bad if I'm giving a low rating to a business! I felt that we were not welcomed to this restaurant. We stood at the entrance, saw the server continue to walk by. FYI, it was not a busy evening. I patiently waited to be greeted. I made a reservation beforehand, too. After not being greeted, I advised my husband that we will seat ourselves. I picked a table & waited,patiently. A server finally greeted us & took our drink order. This location is at the same level of Pappasitos except with mediocre service. I remained polite but that was some bullshit, for your customers to not be acknowledged. With all that being said. The Ranch Water & Mezcalita are smooth. Red snapper tacos were nice.

Between my husband and I, we are giving 4.5 for this place. I love my Engineer breakfast! Bacon was super crispy as requested. Sourdough toasts were excellent. My husband ordered Migas (He's a Migas lover) and his comment was that it was ok. It had all the right ingredients but flavor didn't quite come together right and the tortilla in the migas was sulky. The wait time for food was not bad given that there was only 1 waiter and he was pretty attentive (we went on Sat morning around 9am).

My husband and I stayed at the hotel for the weekend that this restaurant is in. We ordered the avocado fries and brisket tacos to share in our room. The food was shockingly bland. It was if they used zero salt. I will definitely be staying at the hotel again but, will not be eating here.

Major disappointment. The hotel is awesome, and the surroundings are awesome. This place HAS to be good but sadly, the breakfast was awful. Ordered pancakes, bacon and eggs. Worst pancakes my son and I have ever had. Why am I leaving a bad review? Because it was 4 bucks for orange juice and 5 for coffee. And 13 for awful pancakes. They better figure this situation out fast or it'll be a huge drag on this hotel. I want a refund.

We visited today for Easter. We had a reservation but arrived to "no server" on staff. The manager would not even take our drink order while waiting for a waiter to arrive. The afternoon bartender was assigned to be our waiter who responded to questions about the menu, incorrectly, because he had no knowledge of how the menu options were prepared. There was no follow-up to questions he admitted he didn't have an answer for. Food was served cold, over cooked and not as requested. This visit was an overall fiasco. I can't say it I will ever return.

Chef Darren prepared an amazing meal for us. The crab cakes and Mac and cheese were amazing. Salmon and beef tenderloin cooked to perfection. Will definitely be returning.
