Not only the best brunch I have ever had in my life, but chef James is incredible. When he is not actively making incredible food for the patrons he is out on the floor spending time with them and making sure the experience is excellent. How many restaurants have you been to that the chef will greet you by opening the door for you and your friends/family?
Cute place and pretty tasty food. We had the chicken fried chicken, and the kids cheeseburger. Gravy was nice, the breading slid off the chicken. Kiddo loved the burger and seasoned fries.
We had a wonderful time here as a date night. Enjoyed a nice sunset cruise in from north of Houston and we’re welcomed by a great atmosphere and even better food. Chef made a personal stop by to check in on things. Highly recommend.
Loved the atmosphere, food and drinks!!! After a day on the strip downtown we really enjoyed the stop. Navasota is a gem! Great food and shops all around.
What an amazing launch to the brunch menu today! Here’s what we ordered for reference! Big Ass Biscuits & Gravy Chicken and waffles Gouda grits 10/10 on all of it! Those candied jalapeños on the waffles were exactly the kind of heat I needed today! Excellent job! The biscuits and gravy could feed 2 adults or 4 kiddos! And as far as the grits go… chefs kiss, you can’t beat them! So good! We’ll be back tomorrow for round 2!
If you don’t book your rehearsal dinner at this venue and you live within a 1 hour radius of this place, then shame on you! EVERYTHING WAS 5 STARS! Everything from the food, service, the beauty of the venue! Everyone went above and beyond to make sure we felt like our event was the MOST IMPORTANT EVENT! They were so kind! 5/5 recommend!
Wish this had a 10 star option for service Reagan our server was amazing, he was very fast and attentive. This was our first time here and now will not be our last. We came as a family for an early Valentine’s Day celebration. The steak and lamp lollipops were to die for. Will definitely be back. Thanks again Reagan!
The food and atmosphere is amazing. We had my wife’s birthday here and they stored the cake for us the whole night. The new lunch menu is also delicious. I appreciate how small the menu is. To often now restaurants have way to many items on the menu. We drive 45 mins to eat here and it is well worth it
