A Delightful First Experience! I went today for brunch at The Kitchen and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering excellent suggestions for dishes that suited my taste. As a first-timer, I decided to try the Thai salad, and it was a fantastic choice. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a subtle kick that added a touch of spice. For dessert, I had a cream-filled croissant paired with their house latte, and it was the perfect ending to my meal. The croissant was flaky and buttery, and the latte was rich and creamy. Overall, my experience at The Kitchen was exceptional. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere made it a memorable dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu.

My mom and I had a wonderful brunch here. It was both of our first time visiting. We didn’t know that you had to order first and then go find where to sit. As I was waiting in line to order my mom went to go find us a table. There is indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. I ordered the Texas Breakfast with the cinnamon roll pancakes! 10/10 with those pancakes! Definitely recommend trying them. We will be visiting again!

Came here for breakfast with some family members and had a great time. I will say Saturday mornings this place is packed but thankfully we were able to find table pretty quickly. You order at the front counter and then they bring your food out to you. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful with my food allergies. They have a nice drink bar for coffee, tea and fountain drinks. Our food took a little while to come out but once it did it was well worth the wait! The banana fosters french toast was a little sweet for my personal taste but I had a hard time not eating every single bite! My favorite item though waa the chicken sausage! Its by far the best chicken sausage I have ever had and was savory with a hint of sweet apple with a nice grill and snap.

The food is always great and consistent here! We either come for brunch or late lunch. And their coffee is top notch! Great local restaurant in the Woodlands.

Amazing happy hour deals! My favorite dish was the cauliflower, but the $10 bottle of rose was also good. Easy parking, order at the counter and plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating.

We had a wonderful brunch at The Kitchen. Order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. Highly recommend the Texas breakfast and steak omelet. Plenty of seating inside and outside, and they have several water station options (regular, cucumber infused, and fruit infused). We'll definitely return.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Kitchen in The Woodlands, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! The food was absolutely amazing—everything from the flavors to the presentation was spot on. The staff were incredibly sweet and helpful, making the whole visit even more enjoyable. I especially had a great time chatting with Christina and Jessie at the bakery. Their warmth and kindness made the day even more memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

The kitchen has an extensive menu with so many options. Their food is so good with a lot of flavor. They have a bakery with desserts, ice cream, shakes! Everything you need and I have never had anything I didn’t love!

This place has an awesome breakfast and brunch menu that'll make you want to set your alarm early. I tried their Texas breakfast with cinnamon roll pancakes, and let me tell you--God damn, I could taste the love in those pancakes. It felt like a warm hug from a cook who genuinely cares about and wants to take care of you. Randomly, their orange juice stood out too--definitely freshly squeezed, crisp, and refreshing. It's the kind of OJ that makes you wonder why you've been settling for the bottled stuff all your life. Random story. As I was waiting in line to put my order. A guy ahead of me asked the waiter if the cinnamon roll pancakes came with actual cinnamon rolls "on top." The worker paused, probably questioning the man's life choices, before politely explaining they're pancakes flavored like cinnamon rolls. The guy still ordered them and looked confused the whole time. Bottom line: If you're craving breakfast or brunch that hits the spot, The Kitchen is a must. And yes, get the cinnamon roll pancakes. Trust me.

My family and I really loved our experience at The Kitchen. The menu balances simplicity and sophistication, with options that feel fresh and high-quality. It has a vibe that feels both upscale and healthy Even though the menu has a bit of an upscale vibe, the atmosphere is super friendly and casual, which made it feel really inviting. Oh, and the margarita flight? Amazing! We loved every single flavor - no misses there. This is such a great spot for any occasion. Whether you're out with family, friends, or on a casual date, you can't go wrong. Definitely worth a visit!

Food: You can taste that the burger meat came off a charcoal grill. Delicious! But the meat was too rare for my liking. I wish the counter lady had mentioned that. The steamed broccoli and Italian rice tasted weird. 3 Stars Service: The layout is confusing for first timers. The big menu on the wall only has drinks. For the food menu, you have to double back to the entrance door. And then order the food in any counter register. 2 Stars Ambiance: Clean and lots of windows. 5 Stars Overall: 3 Stars

What an incredible place! Some of the best breakfast I've ever eaten. The pancakes & syrup are a must try! (Not sure how you can improve syrup, but they managed to do it!!) So delicious. Such a trendy but warm vibe and incredible service! Michael took care of us, and he was just incredible. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. It is counter service, but they deliver your food to your table, and treat you like a full service restaurant! We were so impressed with this place. Already planning to go back!

Excellent find in the Woodlands! Can't decide what to eat? This place has such a wide variety of food options to choose from and all delicious! You can order your food and sit anywhere you want. The outdoor covered patio is surrounded by trees and has a perfect ambiance for socializing and enjoying the beautiful weather. The service is fast and very helpful for a first timer. I would return in a heartbeat!

Tucked away, one of my girlfriends found this spot and it was a nice surprise. We were too early and didn't get to try the alcoholic drinks but we'll be back. They have a big variety of bottled wines and looks like they have some good deals on certain days. Large patio area but lots of seating in different locations throughout the restaurant. Coffee and water are in dispensers. They had 3 different coffees to choose from but I only tried one which was the Texas Pecan and it was so smooth. Refreshing water choices of cucumber or lemon infused felt very upscale. When you walk in you order your food and they'll bring it to you. In the middle of the restaurant there's a specialty coffee, drink station and, bakery. The lobster tostada was surprisingly very tasty. The mixture really went amazing together. Overall I would definitely recommend giving this spot a try.

Rose A.

Yelp

The lobster toast here is chef's kiss! The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked, fluffy & layered on a buttery, crispy croissant, topped with dreamy hollandaise-- this dish is legit what my dreams are made of! I didn't know exactly what to expect with the addition of the peach jam but it paired perfectly for a lightly sweet & savory flavor in every bite. I also had side of crispy breakfast potatoes and added chorizo, which were cooked exactly how I liked them. Don't skip the deviled eggs, they're little bites of heaven! Everything was top-tier delicious.

This visit to the kitchen was an accident, or as Bob Ross would say, a happy little accident. After a full house at the Thai spot across the street, The Kitchens Brussels sprouts and wings felt like the move. That being said, for the first time in a long time I did not come for tap takeover! Instead, all of this left me arriving at the tail end of happy hour and it reminded me how dynamic this spot truly is. The happy hour specials were pretty suitable. Young families and couples filled the dining area, each one of the adults with drink in hand, the managers strategically popped by tables to check in on patrons experiences. There was just an energy present that as a guest really helped me feel welcome. Kudos for them. I'll def have to stop by more often, next on the list-trying their brunch!

We frequently go to The Kitchen for with breakfast or dinner. Today we tried the gumbo for the first time, and their burgers. Both were delicious. The service is always friendly, food is fresh, and restaurant is clean. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is convenient.

I usually go to the kitchen for breakfast but we decided to go for dinner and the food was good. We had their Asian wings and burger. I can't remember the name of the burger but it has bacon jam on it and a fried. The service is always good and the ambiance is good. It's a casual family friendly environment.

I went here on a Wednesday a little after 10am. It was pretty busy for a weekday. The food was great and flavorful. I will definitely be returning. The restaurant was nice and clean. You order at the counter upon entering and you seat yourself.

Love the pet friendly patio. They have a covered patio area with fans and uncovered outdoor area with tables & patio umbrellas for cover from the sun. Great for breakfast because they open early. And on weekends they have a fabulous brunch menu from 7-3. You can come in and sit wherever you'd like and order at the counter. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. They also have a great drink menu. We really enjoyed our weekend brunch here with our little dogs. We will definitely be coming back.

Moni T.

Yelp

The Kitchen never disappoints, still my favorite spot ever. Portion sizes are big, taste and presentation is on point. We ordered from the brunch menu, Texas breakfast, Southwest Steak and Eggs (highly recommend, the steak is tender and juicy) and even their kids Mac and cheese is bigger than usual. If you are a cauliflower fan like me, get the crispy cauliflower, it's crispy topped with crunchy peanuts, drizzled with harissa aioli, it's so delicious! Restaurant is always busy, avoid coming here during lunch hours on the weekends, because it's so good and everyone loves here; past 2pm is much better.

Amanda A.

Love this place ! Portion sizes are great and food is tasty ! I just wish that they would come check on you while you are seated. If I need anything I always have to get up to ask or go get it

So, you stand in line while reviewing the menu so you can order with the cashier and get a pager. I went on a Sunday morning so there was a good crowd. I had a good amount of time to review their extensive menu. I opted for the basic breakfast and a side of sweet potato fries. There were 4 in our party. I was worried when we walked in that we wouldn't be able to get a seat but a table immediately opened up. Service was prompt. Food was tasty and hot. I definitely want to come back and would recommend if you are in the area.

I was looking for a decent breakfast place to eat while on the go in the Woodlands and I stumbled across The Kitchen. Food- 2 Atmosphere - 4 Service - 2 Atmosphere- The inside looked very nice, open & spacious with free standing coolers that had multiple selections of wine & beer. (I'm not a drinker). There was a line which typically is a good sign imo and it smelled like a variety of breakfast items being cooked at the same time which was a delightful smell. Service/Food- I placed a pickup order on their website and ordered a sausage, egg & cheese burrito. I picked up the order fairly quick as well. One of the employees (I had to ask instead of waiting in the line) directed me to go to the front to get my pickup order. The burrito was a little on the cold side (mind you I picked up my order with 5-7 mins within placing it) so that was very surprising. As I take my first bite I notice a huge splatter of grease sliding down my face. I was indeed disappointed because visually the burrito looked good but once I tasted it, it tasted like disappointment. However the sausage tasted bland & no one wants cold eggs. The flavor was not there. Im wondering if they were super busy in the morning & maybe they didn't pay attention to making my burrito the correct way & I'm debating if I want to give them another try on a different day. I am undecided. However, I just ordered one thing & this was my first time here, but first impressions mean a lot... to me anyway.

It was a birthday lunch! And also, 6 of us again. Found this place very randomly. Wasn't intending on going to the woodlands to eat but here we are. So this is a order at the counter then find a place to sit. If it's busy, expect to wait for a table. But today wasn't bad, we found one pretty quick. There were bananas fosters pancakes, deviled eggs, mimosa floats that didn't get photos but were amazing. I had the corned beef hash and a side pancake. The CBH was different that others I have had in the past. It wasn't bad, in fact it was pretty good, but it was strips of corned beef as if you were making a sandwich. Again, not bad but different. The pancake was delectable. It was 4 dollars for a single pancake so plenty expensive. But it was delicious so there's that. The servers were attentive and very friendly. Food was amazing. Have to say bravo, you have a good little brunch spot here.

So this is an order food at counter on one side, all kinds of food and food products to buy divide the resturant in half and the other half had a coffee counter with desserts you could order. After checking out the menu we ordered and it was so loud to order as the worked are standing near the kitchen and the resturant has no structural walls dividing it. We ordered and headed outside for a quiet place. We chose a small 2 seater table with a nice large umbrella, however we did have to wait to have it cleaned. The resturant was busy and people were hanging out after eating enjoying one another and it was around noon. I ordered the steak bowl it was delicious, and the Brussels sprout appetizer, I also ordered the flight of mimosas they were tasty! My friend had a breakfast plate and she said it was ok. I would come back the food was super fresh and delicious and flavored well! The gentleman who delivered our food was nice and said he would get us plates and extra napkins and utensils and such and the man busing the tables was pleasant also. I usually do not care for counter order and sit places but I will be back !

The Kitchen is an amazing place to visit with friends and family! The shop is spacious and has a bakery case, coffee bar, breakfast, and brunch. There's also a patio if you feel like taking in some summer heat! There are also refreshing frozen margaritas and tropical mimosas that are great to pair with your meal. I always go for something both sweet and savory- this past visit, we ordered the lobster toastada and cinnamon roll pancakes! Lost a star bc they came out sliiiiightly burnt.

A simple name, but a great vibe. You must go to The Kitchen, and no, I'm not talking about yours. When we first walked in, I was blown away with how popping this place was on a Thursday. Our family recommended it as a go-to place in the area, whenever you don't want to cook. In other words, lets go to someone else's kitchen. They offer various options in the menu, lots of neat fusions and mixes that would make any Texan proud. The prices are a bit high, but its worth it given the amount of food you get and the quality. Within the restaurant they sell tons of bottles of wine and other goodies to take home. As a coffee addict, I was blown away that there was a bakery and coffee-shop within the restaurant. Meaning that you had an area where you can order food, and another where you can get a delicious baked goods and coffee. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered the Brisket Bowl which was a mesh of flavors! There was tons of meat, Italian Black Rice, veggies, and avocado. They all complimented each other so well, for a delicious taste. My grandmother, had the Brisket Grilled Cheese with a Tomato Soup on the side. Yum....just yum in all its Brisket Goodness. We finished off the meal with a coffee from the built-in shop, and a Peach Cobbler. WOW! What a kitchen. If you're willing to spend a little bit more for some good food, this place is totally worth it.

Question-Best Mexican Dish??? Answer-Tex Mex Tower I had my reservations. Wouldn't have picked this. Me equivoqué más que un burro en una fábrica de relojes."** (I was more wrong than a donkey in a watch factory.). As Dora the explorer would say, Delicioso!" Service great! Ambiance is main reason we came here. Didn't eat the avocado toast because we shared the kick a$$ tex Mex tower. Sorry I can't help you there! Enjoy!

BREAKFAST TIME! First time here. There are a lot of choices on the menu and the girl that took my order was super helpful. I went with the Avocado Bacon Melt Benedict and wasn't disappointed. The eggs were poached to perfection. The yolk adding to the creamy goodness of the truffle hollandaise. The crispy maple bacon and slices of avocado topped an English muffin and were completely covered with a layer of melted smoked Gouda. It was delicious. The breakfast potatoes were good but nothing to write home about. Would definitely recommend.

I thought the Kitchen was very good. Parking is not a problem and it is easily accessible. We arrived on a Sunday around 1 pm and they were busy. You stand in line to place you order. The line was about 20 people deep and it took us about 20 minutes to get to the register to order. Destiny was super help since it was our first time there. I ordered the chicken and waffles with an egg, and my wife ordered the salmon. Prices were reasonable and our food was very good. Now here's the catch. Drinks are self serve we got water and coffee, and you have to locate seating for the size of your party. Since it was only two of us we did not have to look long, but if our party had of been larger it could have been an issue for us to sit together at that time of day. Our food arrived at a reasonable time and it was hot and fresh. Hers another issue. My wife wanted a drink now, and since this was an after thought I had to go stand in line again just to order and get her drink. That took another 10 minutes or so in line to order and get the drink. There has to be a more efficient way for guest to order at there table if they want to add a drink, bread, or dessert. There was a person in management that came to our table to check on us, and that was a nice touch. The restrooms were clean and the overall experience was good. We would go back again.

My friend and I had a lot of catching up to do - years worth. The Kitchen let us enjoy our favorites and the time we spent there. We spent our entire brunch morning just chatting. It gets very busy here, but it's also easy to grab a spot because most people just eat and go. You can sit inside or outside, like we did on a lovely May morning. There's a covered area so don't worry about the Texas sun beating down on you. The lot is large too, so getting frustrated in the lot won't sour your mood.

Met my friend who lives in The Woodlands for brunch, I'm a city girl & not too familiar with the area... cue in Yelp for the win! I found this gem on the app, read many rave reviews, scrolled through delicious pictures & knew I had to check this place out. I'm so glad we did! The restaurant was as crowded as you'd expect for an 11am Sunday brunch but luckily the line moved pretty swiftly. I ordered the Texas Breakfast & enjoyed everything on my plate! The plate was so big I shared a bit & still couldn't finish the entire plate. Some brunch places skimp on portion size and I was pleased with the price to portion ratio at "The Kitchen". The staff & service was on point too! If you're in the woodlands I highly doubt you haven't heard of this place given the crowd but if you haven't stopped by yet, do yourself a favor and go ASAP! Wish I lived closer so I can go back soon!

When we walk in to the place, I immediately liked the originality of the setup. The menu was quite varied and had a good combination of food influences. My wife wanted a Tortilla soup, but when we asked if it had cumin and they confirmed it did, I thought the food might not be our style. (For those real Mexicans who know that cumin is for Tex-Mex food and if you have seven the slightest taste of it, it's not Mexican food). We didn't risk it and order several other things. To our surprise everything was sublime! The Hangover burger, my steak Cobb salad, my wife's Crispy Cauliflower, etc! Definitely a place to return and even risk it trying the Tortilla soup!

Mercedes S.

Yelp

This restaurant is a go to place when I'm in the woodlands. Exceptional food experience at the kitchen! From the warm ambiance to the attentive service, every detail was impeccable. When you enter the restaurant you get in line and order / pay then receive a buzzer for them to deliver your food to the correct table. The menu offered a diverse range of dishes, and the flavors were nothing short of extraordinary. Our compliments to the chef for creating culinary delights that left our taste buds dancing. A perfect spot for a romantic evening, business lunch, a quick coffee and for any event- we'll definitely be returning for more culinary adventures! CONS** I will recommend management cleaning the lightbulbs, I thought it was gross with the bugs in the lights above as we were eating. There also wasn't any water in the water jugs so I had to ask for them to refill the water. Other than those issues we enjoyed our dining experience here.

Bright and fresh marketplace vibes! Be prepared to order at the register and then seat yourself in the dining room, but this process went smoothly. There wasn't even a line when I went, so we sat down first in order to look over the menu before heading back to the front. There's even bottles of wine, baked goods, etc to purchase which is cool. The Blackened Red Fish was the BEST fish dish I've ever had! Was exceedingly surprised at the amazing blend of flavors in the generous white wine sauce and seasonings over the fish, sautéed veggies & black rice. Not your average plate for sure, would come back just for that. Unfortunately the venison burger, which was recommended, had zero flavor. :( It seemed that the venison patty was cooked unseasoned? Also ordered it to be cooked medium and it was plated well done. We appreciated that if you're wanting a cup of iced water to go with your meal there was both fresh sliced cucumber water and lemon water to choose from. Little things like that make a noticeable difference! Service was hospitable as well.

We really enjoyed our lunch at The Kitchen! My mom had the huge Oak Grilled Cauliflower Steak, which she really enjoyed, and the Mangoberry smoothie. I had the Cowboy Burger. The patty was cooked perfectly, it was juicy and delicious, and the brioche bun was soft and buttery. My avocado was beautiful, the bacon wasn't fatty and soft. The skinny fries weren't too skinny and the ranch I got on the side was awesome. Definitely house made. I wanted more of the grilled onions and jalapeños mixture though cause I couldn't really taste it. Everything tasted fresh. Service was great and we didn't have to wait long for our order. You wait in line at the entrance to order then seat yourself. You can see into kitchen while ordering. There's also a separate counter and display for the desserts and milkshakes so you can get a sweet treat on the way out without having to wait in the regular line. I got the Campfire milkshake and we ordered a slice of the chocolate cake and hummingbird cake to go. The Campfire milkshake tasted like a vanilla malted shake with a hint of chocolate. The marshmallow toppers were thick but could've been toasted more or toasted on all sides. The chocolate cake was good but the hummingbird cake we would get again. I definitely recommend The Kitchen if you're in The Woodlands. With so many options on the menu, everybody in your party will be able to find something delicious to eat! I look forward to returning to try more lunch/dinner items and to give the breakfast menu a try.

Guilty as charged! There is no reasonable explanation for not having written a review for The Kitchen (formerly Hubble & Hudson Kitchen) before now. I must have visited this restaurant at least 50 times based on the number of beer glasses I've collected from 1st Fridays Tap Take-Overs. My inner nerd has advised me to inform you that a pint (1 pint = 16 fluid ounces) beer glass only holds 14 ounces. I have to admit The Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants. They have the absolute best brussel sprouts, chicken wings, and deviled eggs in The Woodlands. I ordered all three appetizers to share with friends on this visit. Menu offerings rotate based on the chef's new recipes. Previous visits have included hamburgers, quesadillas, lamb shank (excellent, but now longer on the menu!) and various pasta dishes. The Tap Take-Over portion of the evening was a little "off" on this visit, as there was no one manning the sampling table and there were no complimentary beer glasses when I went through the lines. A friend later returned to our table with swag showing the brewer to be Voodo Ranger. The only rationale for not writing a review must have been a secret desire to keep this excellent restaurant to myself!

I have to comment on our dinner tonight from The Kitchen. We ordered a Cowboy burger and the eggplant Parmesan. Cowboy burger was outstanding. Very fresh, meat was very tasty. My Eggplant Parmesan was over the top good. Having the eggplant slices grilled pushed this dish over the top. Highly recommended both of these dishes. Props to the chefs. Above and beyond tonight.

Yes, yes and YES!!! Outstanding customer service (shoutout to Michael - the host with the absolute MOST) and the food was super yummy!! What did we eat? I'm glad you asked... Chicken and waffles - the best chicken breast (perfect breading and flavor) in the Lone Star State. And the waffle is fluffy and tasty (as big as my face). Definitely a 5 star southern special. Mimosa flight (frozen) - yummy! Strawberry, orange, prickly pear and a tropical blend. My fav was the prickly pear, but all were satisfying

I will be doing a bombardment of 5 star reviews if my experience deems it so and THE KITCHEN falls no where short of this ... we were slightly intimidated by the self order set up but were then immediately helped by some one from the staff that explained the process , instantly it felt like we were in OUR KITCHEN... the food was at a high level which added to the overall experience, drink and wine selection was there to fill any order, the sports laid back ambiance made it a place to relax and enjoy your drink pick and price took the cake by being so reasonable that it only make sense to try this establishment! - Crutch

I was the first one to arrive at The Kitchen from my group of friends to celebrate a birthday,. I have couple of bags in one hand and a cake In the other one, then I saw a tall guy with a ponytail standing by the counter and I approached him to ask how we could get 2 or 3 tables together for my group. He looked at me like he was bothered by the question and just say that they're first come first service and if want to put tables together I'd need to do myself. I was shocked with his answer and ask if he was the manager. He say yes, and I said WOW, and walked away to find myself 2 sweet ladies who was cleaning some tables and they end up helping me. Still blows my mind to think that he didn't see anything wrong with the situation. Very poor customer service from his part. The staff and food was awesome and very helpful but the "Manager" ruined it for me.

The moment you've all been waiting for: my review of The Kitchen! 9said no one) I've heard whispers about this place for months, and now I've finally experienced it for myself. Let me tell you...(stay until to end to find out) From the moment I fell in love with, the ambiance, it was electric, with a mix of trendy décor and warm hospitality. The menu was a feast for the eyes, with a variety of mouth-watering dishes to choose from. I decided to start with the VENISON BURGER 2.0*. I actually appreciate the yang and yen of the ingredients that were put into this, to make this tasty. The flavors were bold but make sure you get this MEDIUM-WELL, and the presentation was exquisite. I could tell that everything was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. It was a symphony of flavors and textures, and the meat was cooked to perfection. I savored every bite, and I was truly sad when it was over. If your a foodie, a person looking for a chill spot to hang or you want to impress someone important to you, this place does it all however... The prices are not for the faint of heart. If your coming here with more than two people, be prepared to spend $$$

My new favorite spot for brunch. The plates are delicious and huge! The coffee is a little strong but very good. The customer service is also good. The only thing is that it does get a little packed and sometimes you have to wait for your table but it is very good

Nestled on the corner of a bustling office building and quaint boutique, The Kitchen is an unassuming restaurant with a large coffee and wine selection. This self ordering establishment is on the casual side with a small inside dining area. I got the steak bowl, the presentation was organized and appealing, the steak tips were very tender and complemented the farro nicely. The avacado is essential for this bowl binding the flavors of the pepper and onion with the farro base. My lunch mates got the Ahi Tuna bowl and the Chicken Caesar salad. They write: the Tuna Bowl was delectable with its healthy chunk of seared tuna fish laid atop a pillowy bed of rice noodles. Regarding the chicken Caesar salad, it was topped with delicious flavorful croutons and spicy grilled chicken over medium green romaine lettuce with just the right amount of Caesar dressing. The food selection is unique and varied ensuring each visit to incorporate different flavors. The dining room was a little cramped and loud so weather permitting, I would choose to sit outside. The Kitchen is a causal restaurant with modern cuisine that I would love to try again.

What a great find during our mini getaway to the area! Such a neat setting with great menu items that were definitely chef inspired! We enjoyed the food, ambience and seating outdoors! We look forward to our return soon!

This was my first time at The Kitchen and it is such a cute place!! I got the fried chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the mahi mahi tacos. The sandwich was super crispy on the outside and very moist inside. It came with a honey mustard BBQ sauce which was also great. The staff was also super friendly. We sat outside and someone came out to turn on the propane heaters and fire pit for us so we wouldn't get too cold. Great service and food - will definitely be coming again to try the brunch menu!

BEST carrot cake in The Woodlands. I stopped here on my birthday just for a piece of the carrot cake. What a treat!

The food is always great and consistent here! We either come for brunch or late lunch. And their coffee is top notch! Great local restaurant in the Woodlands.

Amazing happy hour deals! My favorite dish was the cauliflower, but the $10 bottle of rose was also good. Easy parking, order at the counter and plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating.

Love this place ! Portion sizes are great and food is tasty ! I just wish that they would come check on you while you are seated. If I need anything I always have to get up to ask or go get it

Food was pretty good. Best part was the staff. No, I didn't eat them. Super friendly and fun to talk with. Likely would return just to tell them about my crippling depression.

My favorite breakfast spot! We have been going to MDAnderson for 5 years. The kitchen is a bright spot for us every time. Destiny is an important part of that bright spot. Thank you!
