The Honey Hole

We stopped by The Honey Hole Bistro & Brunch Bar in Houston! The wait was about an hour and 45 minutes, but honestly, the vibe made up for the long wait— the place is gorgeous and so aesthetically pleasing. Service was good. Our waitress brought water right away, though she didn’t offer other drink options and only refilled our glasses when we asked. The DJ was amazing! Now, the food — so good! The portions were generous, the catfish and fried chicken wings were seasoned to perfection, the pork chops were tender and juicy, and those fried potatoes were crispy and flavorful. The breakfast tacos were okay. Overall, we really enjoyed it — great food, good service, and a clean, comfy atmosphere.

First time here. I had wings and biscuits. Chicken wings were well seasoned, but a little small. Biscuits were ok but I like them more flaky. The yam side dish was good. Service was a little slow. The main downside for me is the music is TOO LOUD. I was at a table of 5 and we had to shout to have conversation. Good music but PLEASE lower the volume.

Sweet Jesus this was good. Pancakes had just the right amount of sweetness….and they were moist. I asked for a glass of milk to help wash the pancakes down, but our waiter must of forgot because he never brought it. The chicken was tender and delicious. The food was just all around good. The price is a little on the higher side, but you’re not coming here for the food to taste like IHOP. Spend that little extra money and get some of this good food and some nice ambiance!

Ok spot for some brunch. The place is quite big and is nicely decorated. However, the menu is surprisingly limited and not as many egg focussed items as one would expect. We tried the breakfast taco. It was quite small and it was dry. The cheese just seemed to be shredded on top and wasn't even melted and no sauce. We also got the stuffed French toast. This was decent but again very pricey. The service is a bit slow and not overly attentive.

I stopped by The Honey Hole Bistro & Brunch Bar in Houston and was really impressed! The place was spotless, the ambience was warm and inviting, and the fish tank added a nice, relaxing touch to the overall vibe. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. We started off with complimentary biscuits that were soft, sweet, and fresh out of the oven—such a nice touch! The grits came in a generous portion and were topped with a perfectly seasoned catfish that was packed with flavor. The crab gravy was refreshing and added a unique twist. The pork chops were seasoned like something out of a master chef’s kitchen—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The fried potatoes were absolutely divine—crispy and well-seasoned. I did ask for my cheese to be cooked into my eggs rather than placed on top, but it came out the other way. Still good, but a bit heavy on the egg whites for my liking. The drinks were cool, refreshing, and a great complement to the meal. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. Great service, delicious food, and a clean, comfortable setting. I’ll definitely be back! Rating: 8/10 – Highly recommend for brunch lovers looking for good vibes and great flavors.

I chose The Honeyhole to celebrate my 30th birthday after seeing so many great reviews, and I was genuinely excited because I’m not usually a brunch person. I had a group of 10–12 guests, which I know is a larger party, but I tried my best to plan ahead. The website didn’t allow reservations for that size, and I spent about 7–10 days calling almost daily with no answer. So I ended up reserving two tables of six and included a note explaining that it was for a special celebration. On the day of, things became a bit chaotic. They wouldn’t seat us until half the party arrived, so a few of us had to wait at the entrance. When they finally took us back, the table was only set up for nine people. I asked to speak with the manager, and to his credit, he did try to accommodate us by arranging seating for around ten near the bar. Our server, Anari, was wonderful—enthusiastic, friendly, and great with recommendations. The overall vibe and music were also really enjoyable. However, I was surprised to learn that for large parties, they apparently require a deposit. This information isn’t mentioned anywhere on the website, and since no one answered the phone for days, there was truly no way for me to know. Clear communication would have made a huge difference here and would’ve prevented a lot of unnecessary stress while planning a special occasion. Food-wise, the options were decent, though not very vegetarian or gluten-free friendly unless you customized items. The coffee was good. Overall, while I liked the ambiance and appreciated the service, I wouldn’t recommend this spot for hosting special events or large groups. For a smaller, casual brunch, though, it’s a nice place with a fun atmosphere.

I had birthday brunch with 5 of my dear friends at The Honey Hole. The food was delicious & our waiter was amazing. I highly recommend It & We’ll definitely return. The only thing I didn’t like was after leaving my clothes smell like I was in the kitchen. My husband also mentioned the same thing. But overall I pleased with the services.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at The Honey Hole especially with our server Paris. I read reviews saying that she was the best but was pleasantly surprised when we got her as our server for the table. Her energy is great and she had very tasty recommendations. The food itself is well seasoned and balanced, nothing too salty or too sweet. The Cajun breakfast bowl was delicious and the sauce used was to die for! Highly recommend attending on Saturday RnBee brunch as the music is not too loud and the food/vibe is good!

The service was phenomenal. Dave was welcoming, warm, and engaging. The ambiance is beautiful and the main treat of the ordeal. The hideout was so cozy and felt like eating at home. The food was amazing, being a south Louisiana girl the catfish and grits reminded me of home.

Amazing food, amazing service, and the best atmosphere! All the workers are too kind, and on Saturdays they have RnB brunch, which set the vibes through the roof. The food was absolutely to die for & our server Dmitra was so kind! She constantly checked up on us to make sure everything was to our liking and she made sure to help us out when we had an issue with our payment. 10/10 recommend this place!!

The Honey Hole is THAT spot! Since moving to Houston, I've been at least five times, and every visit is just as amazing as the last. I've even made it a must-stop for friends when they come to visit! Now let's get into the food because it never misses. My absolute must-haves: Tabasco Honey Wings - Hands down, the best wings I've had. Perfectly crispy with the right balance of sweet heat. Funnel Cake Fries - The perfect sweet treat. Light, crispy, and addictive! Catfish & Grits - Southern comfort on a plate. The fish is seasoned to perfection, and the grits? Chef's kiss. Honestly, I haven't ordered anything I didn't like. The food, the vibe, the consistency...... The Honey Hole is a gem! If you haven't been, you're missing out.

I went to Honey hole for brunch with a friend on a Saturday morning, and while the wait time was quoted at two hours, it ended up being much shorter since I opted to sit at the bar. Definitely a great move! I ordered the fish and grits, and it was absolutely perfect--well-seasoned, cooked just right, and exactly what I was craving. The real surprise of the day was the hidden hookah lounge in the back, where I got to kick back and enjoy some March Madness basketball. The vibes were on point, making it the perfect mix of good food and a great atmosphere. Overall, this spot delivered on both brunch and entertainment. I'll definitely be back!

My son found this place and we wanted to try it. Issue right off the bat... no coffee! How do you run out of coffee on Saturday and not get more for Sunday? Anyway... My wife had the peach cobbler pancakes which she absolutely loved! I had the fajitas which were also good. The aioli made all the difference probably better with tortillas that I am not eating right now. lol They did end up getting coffee but I did not have any. Nice place.

This absolutely fantastic brunch spot blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was electric--filled with joy and fantastic R&B/Soul music that made the experience even more special on a Saturday. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, adding to the overall vibe of the place. Now, let's talk about the food--it was nothing short of mouthwatering! I indulged in their funnel fries, fried fish, and fried chicken. If I had one suggestion, it would be to consider using slightly larger pieces of chicken, just to make it even more delectable! And don't skip the frozen Bellini; it was a delightful drink! This place is popular, so definitely make a reservation before you head over.

Food: B+ the food was on point, packed with flavor but presentation and portions are lacking. Service: C- service needs a lot of improvement. Arrived at 12:35 pm, did not receive drinks until 1:07pm. Our server checked in on us maybe once, he was very absent. Yet this was observed not only with our waiter but all waiters on staff very absent and non observant and inattentive. This very disappointing. Owner needs to understand that service can truly bring a business down regardless of how great food is. Staff very inexperienced and need additional training. I can see they are trying their best yet with proper training and knowledge they can help this establishment grow. Ambiance: A for ambiance. Gives a spring garden vibe, really relaxing. B- overall.

The Honey Hole is located near the Galleria. Luckily plenty of parking. No reservation but got seated since we arrived before peak brunch time. Super aesthetic inside! Didn't expect their playlist to include kpop but I'm here for it. Friendly waiter, overall great service. Drinks: Peach bellini (sweet & enjoyed it), Classic mimosa (also good) Complimentary biscuit, came with honey or jam packs. Food: Lobster & Grits (super savory; also included 3 shrimps; mild/ moderate spice had a slight kick; happy it wasn't a block of grits like some other brunch places), got to try some of the Chicken Fried Chicken (pretty good, chicken was seasoned well) Within an hour of dining here, it got packed very fast. Folks were waiting to seated and the line was through the door at one point. Be aware of the bill total. 18% tip is automatically included regardless of party size. There was also a 1.5% credit card fee, which was surprising since not many restaurants do this. I'll come back to dine here at some point in the far future, mainly for their lobster & grits!!

The food here was absolutely delicious! I ordered the catfish with red beans and rice, and my friends had the chicken funnel cake--they both loved it. The customer service exceeded my expectations, even though there was a hiccup with seating. We had a 2:45 PM reservation but weren't seated until later because the host forgot we were waiting in the foyer. Another group, who had arrived after us but waited inside, was seated first. After my friend approached the counter, the issue was quickly resolved, and we were seated. Mistakes happen, and the staff was otherwise friendly and attentive. My only other critique is that the music was way too loud, making it hard to have a conversation without shouting. Despite these small issues, I loved the food and the charming decor. I'd definitely recommend this place! A suggestion for improvement: installing a table-waiting system, like those buzzing pagers, could make the process smoother for guests. It would be a great addition to an already fantastic spot!

First off, the food was delicious. We had standard breakfast carb fare - churro fries, pancakes and stuffed French toast. However, this isn't the place to go if you are in a hurry. We spent over an hour and a half for breakfast. We arrived shortly after 9am and it was pretty empty. Somehow every thing still took forever. Seems like they have one coffee maker and it couldn't keep up. We were always waiting for coffee to brew. By the time we left the line was out the door. Can't imagine how long those people will be there. The place is cute. The hostess lacked friendliness and hospitality. Can we actually speak to people?

What a great find! The food was delicious. I didn't get everyone's pic of their food but everything was yummy. The coffee machine was broken so I just got regular drip. The place was packed and our waiter was a bit overwhelmed but still made it all work out. Miss Demi was so nice to greet us at the table and had to get a pic of her. I'll be back the next time I roll through town. Cajun food fan here! The perfect place for brunch. Parking lot is a good size and lots of room to accommodate a big crowd on a Sunday. Service was a bit slow but considering the time is prime time for a Sunday.

If you haven't been to The Honey Hole yet, what are you waiting for? This restaurant has quickly become one of my top 5 favorites, and for good reason! The atmosphere is stunning, with a beautiful and thoughtfully designed aesthetic that makes the dining experience feel special. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish came out fresh, hot, and bursting with flavor. Our waitress was not only attentive but also warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. To top it all off, I was thrilled to learn that this gem is Black-owned--a true testament to excellence and community pride. I highly recommend trying the catfish and grits, a perfectly balanced and flavorful dish. And let me tell you, the lemon pepper fried chicken wings are next-level! They were so delicious we couldn't resist ordering more to take home. Another big plus is the convenience--there's plenty of free parking, so no stress there. This is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression, and we'll most definitely be back soon. Don't sleep on The Honey Hole!

We threw a surprise birthday party here for a girlfriend and I will say, it seems to be VERY busy on Sundays! We were able to get a small room, the only private room, which is upfront. It seems like they only take reservations up until a certain time and then allow walk-ins so I definitely recommend reserving prior to coming here. The food selection seems a little overpriced but tasty! We just came for drinks as we didn't have enough seats available for our party so it was an awkward standing around for a few hours and just grabbing drinks. I think it's worth another shot for a proper meal as it's hard to go wrong with southern food! I'd be keen to trying the Chicken & Funnel Cakes $27, Lobster Etoufee $37 and Honey Lemon Pepper Wings $25.

The experience was definitely great, the waitress Chloe my gosh, she was such a great host. The food was great I never seen a funnel that big! The turkey sausage and grits were definitely a sleeper. I haven't taste grits like that ever before!! Would love that recipe! The only thing really is the noise! U can't really here the person in front of you talking, and of course when its an open Floorplan I can see u will get that! Also walking in when u think you will see the receptionist upon walking in but u have to really go in and look to the left around the corner, and when i did, the receptionist could of said BOO!! And u would of jump lol but overall, it was a nice resturant with an amazing decor and color scheme.

Where do I start? I was very excited to visit this restaurant as it received so much attention on social media platforms. First I made a reservation because the first time I attempted to walk in, they stopped taking guests because they were apparently too busy or packed. When I made a reservation, I made it for the main lounge...come to my surprise, there's is a hookah lounge in the back. I did not want to sit back there but they weren't able to move us in the dining area because of future reservations they had which was disappointing. Our food took very long and then when my sister's food came out over 30 minutes after everyone else's food, I had to ask for a manager who stated "well the food did come out." Another manager thankfully comped her food. Then we were charged for a hookah we did not receive. Lastly, we were supposed to receive complimentary bread and never did. Food was good but the service and experience alone makes me never want to return

We came in on a busy Sunday during brunch and Demi the manager took great care of us. She was such a pleasure to talk to and found us a table with minimal wait even though we didn't have a reservation and we were not on the waitlist. Despite it being very busy our server Chloe was so attentive and friendly. The food 10/10. Everything from the music, service, and ambience was worth the wait. I will return.

The service was good I enjoyed the food The drinks were interesting and the place was comfortable

The Honey Hole needs to be top of your list for places to visit when in Houston! The service was amazing and their brunch was even better! We spent about $50 a person with mimosas ! I had the catfish and grits and that is some of the best grits I've ever had! The restaurant has a beautiful modern feel with great lighting! They have different sections of the restaurant with different vibes! I would definitely come back for dinner and brunch again.

Had a reservation for 4pax at 11am on a Saturday. When I arrived alone, the hostess said to wait for 1 or 2 more of my friends to arrive before I can be seated. 2 mins later, 1 arrived so I informed her - was told to wait again. A minute later, we had a full party but continued waiting. A total of 10 mins later, I approached another staff and explained the situation politely, and asked how long more will the wait be. No apology, also made an unpleasant face at me. We were seated right after. Our server was great, it was super busy and he was trying his best. Our order however, only came 40 mins later. Food and coffee were served cold. Nonetheless, the avocado toast was decent. One of us had our coffee replaced with a hot one, at our request. Was a bit disappointed that for 8 dollars, my coffee came right from the machine. At about 12.20pm, the DJ came on and it became uncomfortable for us to have a conversation. Parking was easy with open space available around the area. Probably an overall 2.5 rating, but rounded up due to service by our server.

The Honey Hole has a lot of potential, but our experience was mixed. While the food was pretty good overall, we were disappointed with the funnel cake, which was the main reason we visited. Unfortunately, the presence of multiple bugs and roaches on the ground was a major drawback. We even had to step on one that crawled under our table, which definitely put a damper on the meal. On the upside, the staff was great--helpful and fun to interact with, which helped salvage the experience a bit. The restaurant itself is spacious with plenty of seating, but the large fish tank in the middle of the room creates a bit of an awkward divide, making it easy to feel out of the loop if you're seated behind it. There is a huge parking lot, but if you come during a busy time, it can still be a little challenging to find a close parking spot Overall, while The Honey Hole has some positives, the issues with cleanliness and the underwhelming funnel cake left us with a less-than-stellar impression.

My initial impressions of this restaurant were nice. The decor inside was very modern with the Bright lights, white open space with pops of green. My friend already had a reservation made. Looking over the menu, I felt like there are a lot of sweet items (couple different pancakes, French toasts, funnel cakes, funnel fries, etc.) and a little overpriced. Pancakes are almost $20 with just a little fruit on top. In my opinion, any dish needs a little protein to make it complete. I chose the chicken fried chicken that comes with two eggs and potato hash. I asked for my eggs to be scrambled soft. A few of us on my table ordered that dish with our eggs cooked different ways. When the food came out, all of our eggs were in the side and they all were scrambled the same (scrambled hard), which is not what I asked for. I chose to roll with it but it isn't how I had desired them to be cooked. The chicken was two fried tenders that were a little dry. The dish definitely needed that gravy. I also ordered the churro funnel fries to share for the table. The meal was decent and our server did check on us multiple times. What I didn't like was the bill process. They only allow one check for the table and the only way they will split it, is evenly between 3 cards. Also they do charge you a 3.95% "payment type" fee to use your card, which is a charge I have never seen dining out in any restaurant. This made me feel like your food is expensive and I'm also paying your fees to run your business. The (not so) cherry on top was that the online menu said that 18% gratuity would be automatically added for large parties, which is a standard practice nowadays. But, when the bill came out, it was actually 20% charged instead of 18%. Our waiter was good so we did not make a fuss about this extra 2% that they tacked on. And it seems like the "payment type fee" was included into the subtotal that was used to calculate the gratuity charge. I do not need to pay gratuity on your restaurant fee. Needless to say, my overall impression of this restaurant is that it was okay and I don't necessarily have to come back. Between all these extra fees and the price of the food I spent almost $80 for one shared dish, an entree and one drink. I'll pass.

Terrible service! Terrible pricing! 3 of us went there for a girls brunch and it took the server 20 minutes to notice us - not come to us, just notice us. Then don't know how long to get our order taken. Within minutes our food was here, which was delicious! We had requested extra small plates, which showed up after our food was over. When our bill came they charged us a LARGE party tip. They knew we wouldn't tip!! And then charged us a fee to use our credit card! Each of us 3 paid $50 each for ONE item!! NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN!

Food was amazing as was the service. Make sure you make a reservation if possible. Our reservation was for when they open in the restaurant was full within an hour.

We came here for brunch on a Saturday morning before errands. Found this place by searching for brunch places nearby our later plans. I made a reservation via OpenTable for 3 and we had no problem getting seated. Upon walking in, the place is very nicely decorated and you can tell that this is a place where people come to get Instagram photos taken. Neon word lighting, elegant (but comfortable) chairs, and bright lighting throughout. Vibes are very Vegas-like if that gives some perspective. The menu is only accessible via scanning the QR code on the table. Prices are a little steep, with the cheapest entrees starting at $18 (pancakes or French toast). I ordered the Chicken Fried Chicken for $25. I got my eggs over easy (love runny eggs) and gravy on the side. Both the chicken and potatoes came out super crispy. I'm glad I got the gravy on the side for dipping, otherwise this crispiness might've been compromised. Given two eggs - one of them was over easy as I requested and one was over hard and lacked runniness. While the price is steep, I will say that the portion was fairly large. I had enough to take home for leftovers. They have various options for beverages. My friend requested decaf coffee and they apparently don't have decaf, which surprised me since that is a pretty basic offering. Our server Aurelia was very nice, however she started to disappear towards the end of the meal so it was hard to find her when we were ready to check out. I noticed another server sitting at the bar the entire time we were dining. I'm not sure if she was off-duty, but she was definitely in uniform ( a tennis girl short-skirt look that all the other female servers sported). I noticed her taking some sips from the bartender. If she actually was on-duty, this is a huge no-no. There was a random photographer who came by taking photos of each table. At first I thought this was for promotional content, however shortly after they took our photo, someone else came out with two of our photos placed in frames. They informed us that these were $25 for purchase. It was all money grab, not a fan. I quickly refused, knowing that I could've gotten our own photos printed out and framed for WAY cheaper if I wanted to. Based on the amount of fingerprints that were smudged on the frames, I'm sure many other diners felt the same way. For our party of 3, they automatically charged 18% gratuity. While I normally tip this amount if not more, I am not a fan of forced gratuity especially for such a small party size. Furthermore, they automatically charge a BS credit card fee of 3.95%. Another turn off. For such high menu prices, I would expect the vendor credit card fee to be absorbed in that. Decent experience but don't think I'll be back. There are far better brunch offerings at a better price point. I was really turned off by all of the money grabs they try to sneak in there. Cute decor though if you're looking for a place to "do it for the gram."

Not one thing went wrong with my visit. Over the past weekend, myself and 6 girlfriends were visiting from Philly. This restaurant was located a short walk from The Royal Sonesta Houston Galleria Hotel. We arrived at approximately 11AM and our party of 7 on a Friday morning were immediately seated. What brought us to this restaurant was the catfish and grits with crawfish etouffee. We all ordered the same dish and LOVED it. The fish was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The grits by themselves were smooth and creamy. I love when I can enjoy the side without the main "attraction" but together they are a great combination. A side of cornbread was delicious as well. Please note that cornbread is a la carte and does not come with your dish. I ordered a new fashion cocktail which was an old fashion with a peachy taste. Yum!

My friends and I came here for brunch on a Sunday. Plenty of parking as the restaurant is located in a busy shopping center. Thank goodness we had a reservation this place was busy. The aesthetic was so cute and picture worthy. We were seated in this glass enclosed room where it was very humid and loud. The room is connected to a small part of the bar. Behind our table was a tray of dirty dishes that remained there as we dined. It took a while to receive water and service. It took a while for our food to come as well. My friends did not like their drinks. One stated she didn't like the liquor in her drink and it was too sweet for her liking. One ordered a Caesar salad as an appetizer and did not like it or finish it. Two of us had the stuffed French toast, one with a side of bacon and eggs, I had the honey lemon pepper chicken thighs, and one friend had the lobster and grits. The French toast was really good, but for $22 I wish it would have came with 4-6 pieces of bread instead of two. The honey lemon pepper chicken thigh was delicious! My friend did not like the lobster grits. She said, "it tasted too fishy." You can't mess up bacon and eggs so those were good. I would highly recommend this restaurant with a reservation. Do not sit in the glass enclosure and be careful when walking. The floors were slippery not sure if that was due to the humidity in the room. The food is good and I would like to try other menu items on my next visit. Also be patient, because the service is slow.

A Perfect Dining Experience From the moment I stepped into The Honey Hole I was captivated by the warm and inviting ambiance. The dim lighting, elegant decor, and soft background music created a perfect setting for a relaxing evening. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a casual gathering with friends, this restaurant strikes the right balance between sophistication and comfort. Our waiter Dave was wonderful.

This is a great restaurant for a vibe brunch. They have a DJ playing good music that makes you enjoy your food that much more. It can get busy here so expect to wait a little, but otherwise the service isn't too bad. I would recommend.

General: overall I enjoyed my experience here and would definitely return. Food: we were in a group of 4 and shared plates. We got the bacon avocado toast. I didn't taste this but was told it was overall good but needed a little more bacon. I got the THH Hotcakes. They had really good flavor, but the texture was a little off. Felt like the batter was over worked. But we ate it all because like I said...they tasted good! We so got the sweet heat sliders...very good. I have no notes lol. The bread was soft and the chicken was tasty! It comes with a pickle and a sauce it was the perfect combination of flavors. Lastly, we got the lobster and grits. I didn't taste this either..(allergic) but was told it was SO GOOD. The grits...bomb! So buttery. I did not like the coffee. Service: we went at 10:30a on a Friday. So it was pretty empty. Honestly when I first walked in I was skeptical because many of the workers were sitting in the area by the host area looking bored lol. But the hostess got to us quickly and was pleasant. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. Atmosphere: the aesthetics are top notch. They designed the restaurant beautifully. Also, very clean.

I ordered the Tabasco lemon pepper wings and Mac and cheese and absolutely enjoyed my meal! I also had a side of cabbage it was okay but I would probably not order it again! The service was okay, it was a little slow, unsure if it was the crowd or just lack of service and attention to guest but do wish our server was a little more attentive. The ambiance was great, very comfortable environment and great music being played and the games were being showed at the bar. Overall I'd give it a 8/10 because I did enjoy majority of my meal and the ambiance

I came here Friday morning with my girls from work. Lavish the bartender was AMAZEBALLS!! Excellent customer service! The restaurant is definitely as bougie as it looks, and the price is going to match. The food and drinks were delightful. Definitely recommend.

I came here for a friend's birthday brunch and this restaurant did not disappoint. This is nestled in a shopping center by the Galleria and parking can be found in the shopping center parking lot. This is a cute place and during the time I went, there was a live dj playing good music. There's a bar and a semi private dinning room available for any private parties. The waiter was attentive and everything was delicious. We got a carafe of peach belinni and while it wasn't strong, it was extremely tasty. We split the carafe amongst 4 people. I opted for the chicken fried chicken and it was amazingly delicious. My friend got the lobster and grits which comes with shrimp as well. I tasted some of her grits and it was a 10 out of 10. Very flavorful. Everyone enjoyed their meals except for one lady who got salmon tacos and did not like the excess grease on the tacos. Our waiter did warn us that the tacos were not to be ordered. I can't wait to return here to get more food items!

Amazing little spot! I love the cute decor. A Photographer was in the building to capture your memory for $25 with the frame. Food: We had catfish/grits, Lobster/grits, Pork chop plate, chicken hash bowl. All was good EXCEPT the pork chops. They were a little dry so we couldn't finish them. Service: Our waitress was super nice. she made every effort to be attentive however, left us without eating utensils. We had to get up & find someone else to assist us so we can eat & so i can stir my coffee before it froze. :-/ I wouldn't mind coming back but warning - make rsvp or your wait could be long & seating is limited. So glad we RSV

The hostess with her 10 ridiculous painted press on nails was GHETTO FABULOUS‼ We were asked to step aside in the waiting area (the front door) and she would check her chart and get back to us. After waiting 25 minutes and no response, I go back to her and ask if she would be able to sit us? Then GHETTO FABULOUS rub her ear, wipe her face and say, "We have a lot of reservations for today. " I politely walked away from her and out the door. This information could've been shared as soon as we walked in. I watched her from the door area and she absolutely DID NOT check the chart, board out anything else. I gave The Honey Hole a one because the playlist sounded good.

I came in for Sunday brunch with some pals and the vibe was definitely there! The food was pretty good, bit pricey for the hash browns but the stuffed French toast was so good. I do think the place was too loud on Sunday, I felt like it was hard to have conversation. I would come back to try the other brunch items but maybe on a quieter day. Make sure you get a reservation because wait times can be very long. Parking is a plus here because it's open lot, enjoy!

I visited this restaurant for Sunday brunch and it was absolutely adorable. The decor and theme was perfect for the space. The Honey Hole is a great restaurant for a nice Sunday brunch for a date or even with friends. There were a few menu items I would have loved to try but they were only available on the weekdays. I chose the peach Bellini which was a frozen drink. This drink was so refreshing with just the right amount of alcohol. My main dish was the chicken fried chicken with potatoes. The potatoes were nicely seasoned. The chicken was fried more than I would prefer but it was still delicious. Overall, the service was good as well. The wait for our food wasn't long. I would love to visit this restaurant on a weekday to try a few of the menu items

I made a reservation for two via OpenTable and this turned out to be a really great decision. The Honey Hole was packed on Sunday, so making a reservation is highly recommended. Couple of things of note: 1. You do have a 2 hour time limit to eat and pay and your time starts when you are sat. 2. Parking is ample, so no need to find a parking garage. 3. While on the menu it states that an 18% gratuity is put on checks for parties of 4 or more, it seems that they will do the same for a party of two. 4. They charge an additional 3.95% credit card fee and automatically apply it to the bill. I think a better practice would be asking the patron how they will be paying instead of assuming it'll be by card. I order the pear, lychee and vodka drink and I really, really loved it. It was presented beautifully, but also was a light, springy flavor- perfect for a Sunday. I ordered the catfish and grits and I thought this was a fantastic dish. It came with an étouffée sauce on top which really set it off. Do I think this dish is worth $32? No. But I will say I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was supposed to come with the jalapeno cheddar cornbread on the side, but it did not, so I had to ask for it. I think this is a cute restaurant, but I can't say that it is a place I would readily come back to for the food. I've had some amazing experiences in the city that was less expensive for the quality of the food received. I'm really glad I got to try this place, but I think once is enough.

Got to try the chicken and funnel cake and it was fantastic! Our server Kaylynn was great and Demi was so kind, friendly, and can't wait to be back. Great bridal lunch.

Reservation needed. Bar seating is first come, first serve. The inside is very aesthetically cute! We waited an hour for pancakes and avocado toast - the easiest meals to make. Food was okay. Wasn't worth the wait.

My dining experience at The Honey Hole was great. Our server, David was tentative to our party of 9 and the ambiance inside the speakeasy was very nice. I ordered red beans and fried catfish and it came with a jalapeno corn muffin. I'd recommend this place to friends and family.

This place kept popping up on my IG. Food is good. Even the people next to us enjoyed their food and they had the catfish/grits and pork chop plate. The hostess sat us (2 people) immediately. The DJ was a lot for me tho. It was loud. He was good. But I'm not sure why a vibe has to include blaring music. The decor and style of the restaurant is a vibe already. No DJ needed. The waitstaff needs a little more training. They aren't rude; they were nice. It's just the ordering of food and making sure apps and drinks don't get lost or forgotten. Also, y'all need to update the order and paying system. I hope the owner or management sees this: get the TOAST ORDERING SYSTEM for y'all restaurant. Them paper notes to order and pay is out dated. Especially, when the food takes forever to come. Y'all need to get them customers paid and out them seats. It's the little things that will help mitigate the long wait for food. You don't want to lose customers because it takes a b'jillion years to order/pay because the waitstaff has to run elsewhere to place orders and run credit cards.

Amazing experience post the hostess who was sorta preoccupied. Our server Aurelia was amazing she make sure we were okay and that we had everything we needed from start to finish. Her attention to detail and suggestions were very welcoming and appreciated. The food was good from the biscuit starter to the lobster and grits which comes with a spicy sweet sauce which I had on the side, Aurelia suggested the crawfish sauce in addition which we both accepted and the two sauces together and individually were a HIT. The music was amazing and went great with the mimosas ;-) Looking forward to returning and I'll be sure to request Aurelia .

I went to Honey Hole for brunch and it was amazing. I went in a Saturday morning, we were promptly seated. The restaurant had a nice ambience, great menu selection. The drinks were good as well. The smoked salmon toast. OMG delicious. It could have been a meal. Catfish and grits are on point. The lobster and grits were good too. Everything was seasoned well. Good flavor. Fresh and hot. Great first time experience for me I'll be back

The Honey Hole Did not disappointed BAYBEE ! First off , ask for Dave , he a lil quiet , but super attentive to the table . We started off with a pineapple mimosa carafe , if you want flavored mimosas and flavored food -- this is your jam ! Avocado toast - bomb.com - may seem like a simple breakfast entree , but they turned the flavors up ' Shrimp & grits - flavorful and filling ! Shrimp Caesar salad was very fresh . I stopped into this restaurant because of other people's recommendations && i would definitely come again !

The Honey Hole is located in one of the most popular areas in Houston on Westheimer, and they serve an array of brunch and lunch options, as well as drinks. Although the interior was very nice, I found the service and food to be underwhelming. The inside is super cute and everything is well decorated, especially for brunch/lunch with the girls. Their menu had brunch and lunch options when I went during lunch time on the weekend, and I got the funnel cake fries, THH (The Honey Hole Hotcakes), scrambled eggs, and a My Pear Lady cocktail. 1. The Funnel Cake Fries (3/5) -They were exactly how I imagined them and were fries made with funnel cake dough with a sweet dip. 2. THH (The Honey Hole) Hotcakes (2/5) -The portions for the pancakes were big, but they were just regular pancakes with a few fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup. 3. My Pear Lady Cocktail (5/5) You can never go wrong with a good cocktail on the weekends, and it tasted great. Asides from the food, I thought the service was very lacking, and although our server was sweet, she rarely checked up on us. We finished our food fairly fast and tried flagging for the check for 45 minutes, and eventually, she came giving us our check because we reached the two hour limit, which was enforced at the restaurant. Gratuity was also included on our bill, which I did not mind, but it was a bit weird since it was just the two of us. Also the tables are incredibly small for all the plates, and half of my THH was on the table and half just hanging off the table. I think having bigger tables would be a bit nicer. Overall, the food and service were both underwhelming. However, the drink I had was good, and the inside is very cute if you're looking for a picture-worthy brunch spot.

First time visiting today went about 245pm light crowd by that time,live in 77056 so was close by. I was expecting the sitting host to come to us instead she saw us walk in and just sat, I waited for the welcoming customer service , we continued to look lost as where to check in as you can't see the stand when waiting but she definitely saw myself and my two daughters entering. Finally my daughter was like perhaps walk in bit farther mother and that's when the hostess still "seated" said "I thought you all were gonna leave". She may need a little more training to ensure ppl don't leave , get up off that chair missy !!! RnB Music , live DJ , music a little on the loud side but enjoyable , digital menu , for the most part everything was offered except the chicken sliders (my daughter loves chicken) . Still was a nice little wait for the food but was worth it , we had the catfish n grits, THH seafood potato, and the grilled pork chop and eggs with breakfast potatoes. We all enjoyed our food thoroughly, nice size portion. !! The place is nice size. Nice bar area, my stars reflect the food and an establishment finally not tagging on an automatic gratuity!! It' was refreshing not see that for a change !! 83$ bill tipped her 20$! I love that the lady staffers uniforms are decent and I would consider this establishment family friendly !! Go give them a try !!

Cincere was the BEST waiter my group had ! Our food came in a timely manner, he was SUPER sweet & always made sure to double check on us! Please ask for him when you come

The two times I came here brunch menu was great, service was good both times. First time at a table second time at the bar. They have a great set up with nice artsy visuals so the ambiance was lively and good music was playing.

Went on a Saturday around 3pm. Great food, solid service, plenty of space, and a relaxed atmosphere. Music was tasteful and not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation-a big plus for me. The menu is well-executed, the staff is attentive but not overbearing, and the space is inviting. Definitely worth a visit.
