A S.'s Review of Laredo Taqueria - Houston (4/5)... →
Delicious and solid breakfast burritos on the cheap, and lots of happy families around if you go on a Sunday morning. Those spicy potatoes were delish, and the boyfriend enjoyed the cactus.
A S.'s Review of Nippon Japanese Restaurant -... →
Oh Nippon, nothing outrageous or showy to impress, but the sushi was solid and spoke for itself, as did the cold tofu appetizer— the service was great, it’s a cute little place, and the bill was…
Sarah C.'s Review of Fratelli's - Houston (4/5) on... →
Love this place! Where to even begin … the handmade spinach gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce appetizer is unbelievably good! I do recommend splitting it, though, because it is very rich. All the…
Jack H.'s Review of The Big Mamou - Houston (4/5)... →
Having seen the sign hanging out front declaring “Now Serving Breakfast,” I had long been wanting to visit the Big Mamou. I finally made it one Saturday morning with the gf in tow, and we each got…
A S.'s Review of Berripop Frozen Yogurt - Houston... →
The door was broken when I went, and I wish that the original flavored yogurt was more tart— in that sense, it reminded me of Red Mango up in NYC/DC. The mochi topping was good, but they were out…
Polly D.'s Review of Tj Maxx - Houston (4/5) on... →
If my not so reliable memory serves me right, I can say that this is one of the best TJ’s I’ve been to.
I hadn’t visited in years, and when I recently went by it was pretty nice still. They have…
Britany R.'s Review of Taxi Taxi - Houston (2/5)... →
Not my favorite store on the strip especially with Buffalo Exchange and Couture Blowout a few steps away. The employees could have been a little more helpful with simple questions but I guess they…
Jennifer W.'s Review of Mod Your Body Fitness -... →
Working out with Mandy is awesome! I have attended her morning boot camp classes many times and they make me feel great. Even in a group setting Mandy gives you a personalized workout that both…
A S.'s Review of Teahouse Tapioca & Tea - Houston... →
It had been so long since I’d had bubble tea, and I was happy to see that they had mini boba here! Throw that into an almond milk tea, and call me a happy camper. I’ve had hit or miss experiences…
Polly D.'s Review of Charming Charlie - Houston... →
Oh, Charlie, how do I love thee??
So much that it almost makes me want to write poetry.
Almost.
I’ll spare ya. An accessory enthusiast, I found much that I could fall in love or a lot of lust with…
A S.'s Review of Thai Pepper - Houston (3/5) on... →
This was not our first place Thai restaurant for the evening, but alas, most other places were closed and the kitchen here was still open— they seated us even though it was close to closing, and…
Britany R.'s Review of Blackbird Trading Co. -... →
I LOVE blackbird. It is in the old spot of Leopard Lounge as previously stated by other users. The store is super clean and i love their selection of 100% silk shirts. The sunglasses in the front…
jeff c.'s Review of Reign Lounge - Houston (4/5)... →
I went to this place a few Fridays back. We walked right in with out any issues it was me and my guy cousin. It was really cold that night and not super busy maybe thats why we didnt have any…
Martha T.'s Review of Ragin Cajun - Houston (2/5)... →
When visiting my sister in Houston, we all had cravings for crawfish. You know us girls… if we want something.. we got to have it!!! So, after some researching and yelping, we decided to go here.…
Sarah C.'s Review of Grappino Di Nino - Houston... →
We sat down for a quick dinner here after attending a happy hour event on the terrace. The food was decent, although nothing stood out particularly. We had a mix of small plates — pasta a la vodka…
Jason G.'s Review of The Coffee Groundz - Houston... →
I went here today and was very disappointed that so many people endorse this place. This was easily the most pretentious place that I have ever been. They might as well have had the velvet ropes at…
Gilberto V.'s Review of Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral... →
Religion elevated to an art form. The sheer beauty of this Cathedral is found internally, externally, and with its parishioner base. The physical beauty thus elevates the function, form, and…
Tawny T.'s Review of Blonde Salon - Houston (4/5)... →
Just got my first post-move cut here, and I have to say it was a pretty awesome experience. I love the location, the laid back feel, and the free beer to sip during the cut doesn’t hurt either.…
ROBERT M.'s Review of Shawarma King - Houston... →
I Love it. Fast service. Great Shwarma… I wish they had fountain drinks though.
Heidi H.'s Review of Benjy's - Houston (5/5) on... →

jeff c.'s Review of Pappas Burger - Houston (5/5)... →
I have been coming here for years and have yet to find a burger than can top this in Houston. Although some have come close none have yet to conqueror! Its located right off westhemier near the…
Gilberto V.'s Review of Mia Bella Trattoria -... →
Overwhelmingly average. Pasta, average - like someone hired a bunch of cooks from under the overpass at Westpark and shuttled them downtown as an excuse to use the HOV lane. Appetizers, average.…
Martha B.'s Review of Raxa Design - Houston (5/5)... →
Raxa design is very talented. Over the year that I’ve come to know them, I have been more and more enlightened by the importance of technology and social media in growing one’s business. I would…
Gilberto V.'s Review of Treebeards - Houston (5/5)... →
As many of you know, I never wait in line. EVER. I will be the first one out the door if there is a line, or I will bribe someone to jump me to the head of a line. But I will wait in line here.…
John W.'s Review of King Wok - Houston (4/5) on... →
I love this place. They are really nice, though slightly awkward. I love going here, and no matter how slow or busy they are, you could walk in, sit down, eat, pay and be on your way well under half…
PETER C.'s Review of Hokkaido Japanese Restaurant... →
BEST PRICE IN TOWN!!! I don’t know if anyone agrees with me but I would call this place a fast food Restaurant. If only they had a drive thru window. They are real quick when it comes to ordering…
Ron J.'s Review of Piatto Ristorante - Houston... →
Piatto Ristorante is a great hidden away place behind P F Changs on Westheimer in SW Houston. If you are craving good Italian food you must try this place. Slightly romantic with a better than…
Lee T.'s Review of Reef - Houston (5/5) on Yelp →
I was skeptical, I have to admit. I am always turned off by a Texas sized dining room and a restaurant that seems to be in the middle of nowhere. Our view was of a parking lot and a bulldozer. But,…
Angela H.'s Review of Ventura's Bridal Fashions -... →
Great place to shop - NOT a place to buy. The BAD definitely outweigh any good at this place. They have a large selection and my dress consultant was extremely knowledgeable (but never pushy and…
Agustin S.'s Review of The Rockwood Room - Houston... →
Yelp Lunch Bunch take 39, cue music Frank Sinatra’s “Luck be A Lady” and ACTION! Lucky for me Rockwood is walking distance from my office. This location has remained empty since the Mission Burrito…
Anthony N.'s Review of The Community Bar - Houston... →
After a quick bite to eat, We decided to head to Community Bar (Mike suggested it to me on Thursday). It is tucked further down Smith St. away from the central part of Midtown. I drove up and scored…
Mary T.'s Review of Whole Foods - Houston (3/5) on... →
Parking can be scarce, so all the good you’re doing to save the planet may be offset by the amount of fossil fuel you burn as you cruise around for an open spot—on weekends anyway, can’t really…
John W.'s Review of Tacos A Go-Go - Houston (4/5)... →
OK, I returned to attack the tamales. I went with the tamale plate and 2 carne guisada tacos. Goodness them tacos iz dee bomb digidy! They sure know how to do a corn tortilla right. But that’s not…
charles r.'s Review of The Bombay Pizza Co. -... →
They should eliminate sliders from their menu. It is a rip off since it neither tastes good nor is easy to eat due to small and awkward size. Other than the pizzas, the food items are priced high…
Jennifer N.'s Review of Korean Noodle House -... →
I’ve been looking all over town for some Spicy Seafood Noodle soup (Jjambong) and I finally found it! I believe the noodles are hand-made and the broth was SPICY! Just the way I like it! This…
Jon S.'s Review of Houston Rockets - Houston (5/5)... →
As a Celtics fan I can proudly say I’ll support the Rockets in anyway possible (except when they play the C’s). Hey I don’t like the Lakers either. When I heard about the MLK day deal, I had to go.…
Diana U.'s Review of The Crystal Topper - Houston... →
I recommended this vendor to my sister-in-law for her August 2009 wedding. My sister-in-law ordered a crystal topper from Jodi Buttarazzi (owner of Crystal Topper) in May. Twelve weeks later (the…
Russell P.'s Review of Block 7 Wine Company -... →
Good wine selection and the duck was extremely good, but I was hungry. Atmosphere is a little loud but the staff is friendly and very helpful.
Phoenix P.'s Review of Payday Loans Houston -... →
Being in the same industry, I have heard many different people talk about this company and they have had a good experience. Compare Payday Loans Houston to http://www.phoenixpayday.yelp.com Both are…
Judson T.'s Review of Qin Dynasty - Houston (4/5)... →
Great food, great service, great lunch specials. The restaurant is not your typical Chinese restaurant. It is handsomely decorated and large. I had the crispy tofu which is one of my favorites at…
Bella B.'s Review of Signature Eye Care at The... →
I recently came here for an eye exam while visiting my family in Houston. Dr. Tran was referred to me by a friend who sees here regularly. I hadn’t gotten my eyes checked in ages so I was a bit…
Cash A.'s Review of Payday Loans Houston - Houston... →
Payday Loans will provide you with a short term loan to help assist you with paying unexpected bills, or perhaps some unexpected repairs that you may have. Payday loans can help take care of your…
Russell P.'s Review of Haven - Houston (5/5) on... →
The food here is amazing. Enough said.
Danielle S.'s Review of Dot Coffee Shop - Houston... →
Though the Dot used to be a neighborhood joint, it’s now owned by the Pappas Military Industrial Foodservice Complex, and unfortunately, you can tell. Everything’s just a little too nicely packaged,…
Julia S.'s Review of Te House of Tea - Houston... →
I’ve been coming here for a couple years now for random events: tea time, lunch, but mainly to dance. Connie (the owner) opens her teahouse every Saturday nights to swing dancers and Friday nights…
Lauren T.'s Review of Nidda Thai Cuisine - Houston... →
It seems unnecessary to write another positive review of this place, but I can’t help chiming in. Since I moved to Houston, I’ve been on the search for good Thai food, and I’ve tried many…
Trish T.'s Review of Vieng Thai - Houston (2/5) on... →
I’m sure I’ll be flamed by the fanboys, but I feel compelled to put in a lonely low-star review just to balance other people’s expectations. I took an out-of-town friend here because of all the…
David N.'s Review of Te House of Tea - Houston... →
Tea House of Tea? NO! TE House of Tea!!! And when they say House, they mean House! If you put in the address into your GPS and start driving past all the shops on montrose/westheimer and you’re…
Chris C.'s Review of Catalina Coffee - Houston... →
Outstanding tasting coffee/espresso and great ambiance. Their customer service is excellent as well, very friendly. Everytime I have been by there it has been full of customers but I did not have to…
Julie G.'s Review of Eclipse Sunless Tanning -... →
I LOVE this place! I was a novice at sunless tanning, but the girls at Eclipse went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and explain how the process would work. I had a special event to…
