Local and Good!!

by 1fatkid

Lots of beer, wine and good folks.

Food is excellent, FOR BAR FOOD.

Don't expect too much or you might be disappointed!!!

Coffee is OK..........I'm not a fan of Katz's Coffee(espresso)........

Ambiance is definitely cozy but usually a little crowded in the evenings.

Try Cedar Creek and Dry Creek, if you want good food.

OC is better for the light drinking evening crowd.........and a good lunch.

Theres better coffee just around the corner @ Antidote.

The staff is great.........ALL OF YOU ROCK!!!!

• Pros: Just about everything!!!!!!
• Cons: Noone notices the BIG parking lot on the OTHER SIDE of the liquor store!!

Hamburgers Their Way

by sunshine33

My boyfriend ordered a burger and requested it be cooked medium, you know, with a little pink inside for color and juicy-ness. Our order taker stated that all burgers are cooked well done. Period. End of story. So my boyfriend ordered it their way and just as I had anticipated, the burger wasn't all that satisfying. He left much of it on his plate. I ordered the mixed green salad with goat cheese and strawberry viniagrette, which was just fine but I wouldn't come here again JUST for salad. Unless you like your hamburgers well done, this isn't the place to order one. I doubt we'll come back to this spot for lunch but maybe we'll give breakfast a try.

• Pros: open patio, Internet service, casual atmosphere
• Cons: average food, no real parking lot

Probably the best coffeehouse and pub combo in Houston, the burger has avocado, and their rich and creamy potato salad is like no other!

I know the Houston Press gave them best coffee shop in Houston in a previous year, and there's a reason for that. Not only do they take their drinks seriously, but when the daylight in streaming in through the big windows, you feel like you've found a happy place! Their iced toddy brew is on the level of the iced coffee at Taft St, and that's saying a lot. I don't think you've ever had potato salad like theirs before--the potatoes are sliced super thin and it may just be too rich and creamy for you, but that's why I like it! Avocado on the burger: check. And inside or out, it's a great place to have a Guinness or Winter Stout or Shiner with friends.

• Pros: superb coffee, loads of beer options, unique potato salad
• Cons: sometimes slow when it gets packed
