Shellie B.'s Review of Dress For Success Houston -... →
This organization is absolutely wonderful! They will provide you with the following items free of charge, but you have to be referred. I provided their flyer below with the list of businesses who…
Thomas L.'s Review of Little Bigs - Houston (3/5)... →
I have only been here late night after a night on the town. And usually at that point, anything that I can chew and swallow tastes good to me. However, there are some things I’ve noticed after a…
Jenny T.'s Review of The Broken Spoke Café -... →
This is a very small and quaint belgian cafe nestled in the old sixth ward neighborhood good for beer, but maybe not for the food. I recommend sticking to the beer and just the appetizers. They have…
Emily W.'s Review of Bamboo House - Houston (4/5)... →
I thought Bamboo House would be another one of those overpriced, trendy Asian places where the ambiance and modern silverware/plating was more exciting than the food itself, but I was quite…
Kittie G.'s Review of Houston Capital Mortgage -... →
Recently, I closed my first home loan with Houston Capital Mortgage, and it was a great experience. Since it was my first time to buy a home, I was very nervous, but everyone from beginning to end…
Tracey T.'s Review of Au Petit Paris - Houston... →
I am learning a few things: 1. If Rusty B. and I cannot eat under $10.00 pp, the food is probably going to suck. 2. If the place is not a “hole in the wall”, the food is more than likely going to…
Ryan D.'s Review of Thai Gourmet - Houston (5/5)... →
Thai gourmet has been consistently my best Thai experince in Houston. I Have tried most of their curries which have been superb but their shining dish has to be the crispy duck. Service is always…
Jason P.'s Review of Bowl - Houston (1/5) on Yelp →
Really wanted to give this place 4 stars. The staff was very friendly. The decor is nice and trendy. The salads are on par with Cafe Express but less expensive. But I had to wait 20 minutes for my…
Katie W.'s Review of Little Bigs - Houston (4/5)... →
Firstly, I wish they still had the mushroom sliders. I would much prefer three different sliders, but the beans just aren’t cutting it for me. This location is perfect for the zoo visiting stroller…
Jack H.'s Review of Cuu Long Restaurant - Houston... →
Cuu Long advertises both Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine out front, and when some places undertake a menu of such gastronomical proportions, usually one or the other suffers. Or both. But upon…
Ashlee M.'s Review of Benjy's - Houston (4/5) on... →
Benjy’s # 2, you win my vote on the better of the two. Partially because you are closer to me and partially because your upstairs patio is roomier and gorgeous. I arrived about 20 minutes behind the…
Amy D.'s Review of Jenni's Noodle House - Houston... →
Friendly staff, beautiful minimalistic decor, extremely tasty Chili Oil Beef Ramen. It reminded me of Republic in New York City (Union Square). My companion tried the fried rice, and it had an…
Tori T.'s Review of University Copy Centers -... →
I’m sure this place is fine for students who just need to go pick up prints left by their profs. But I would definitely not recommend it to anyone needing copies made for any other purpose. First of…
Robert H.'s Review of Pho Ve Dem - Houston (4/5)... →
If you love pho come here for sure. The menu is plain and simple and they only offer pho here (CASH ONLY). No MSG in the soup, which is extremely tastey by the way. The meat is plentiful in all the…
Danielle S.'s Review of Nail Mogul - Houston (4/5)... →
With all the buzz on Yelp that Nail Mogul was getting, and with my pocketbook looking like a mini-version of the recession every time I had my nails refilled, I knew I had to try them out. I’d been…
Tori T.'s Review of Pho Saigon Vietnamese -... →
Maybe I just don’t get the whole obsession with pho that seems to be sweeping the nation. Several people have described their meat as good quality. Really? I’m assuming they mean relative to other…
Shazia C.'s Review of Stelio's Deli - Houston... →
Gather around kids , I am going to tell you a very interesting story. Once upon a time , I used to live real close to this Deli.One rainy winter of 2009, I tried their potato and leek soup and it…
jaire q.'s Review of Cost Plus World Market -... →
I had been looking everywhere for the tea pot that they use a PF Chang’s, you know, the cast iron one. Well, I found it yesterday at World Market!! And it only cost $10!! I also purchased two sake…
Robert H.'s Review of Canopy - Houston (3/5) on... →
Since this is opened by the owners of Shade, we decided to give it a try. They did not change much of the layout from Salude, but plenty of natural light that made it a good brunch/lunch place. The…
Robert H.'s Review of Mamacita's Mexican... →
I was working down in Pasadena, and had heard pretty good things about this place. So my senior and I decided to give it a whirl. Service was prompt but the decor was a little too dark. Green sauce…
Shazia C.'s Review of Ziggy's Bar and Grill -... →
I had a terrible terrible experience the last time I was here. It’s a miracle that I survived to write this review. It was like they served me nuclear waste. I ordered poached eggs and it was…
Sara W.'s Review of Benjy's - Houston (4/5) on... →
I am in love with Benjy’s. Both of them. But I think this one might be my favorite. #1 - It’s so easy to get to! The one in the Village can’t help but be a pain in my ass because I have to take 610…
Edgar V.'s Review of Westpark Recycling Center -... →
Got a lot of junk in your trunk? Tired of all those unwanted pounds (of recyclables)? Ready for spring cleaning but can’t wait for the City’s recycling truck to get to you? Well, dear reader, bring…
Laurette V.'s Review of Junk Goes Green - Houston... →
This is a cool service. We have heavy trash day in our neighborhood, but I don’t know when it is and they never seem to pick up what I need. At least with this service, you know your items don’t end…
Mark M.'s Review of Khyber North Indian Grill -... →
I’m not really sure what North Indian food is supposed to taste like. Even the Indian friends I have don’t quite know, or at least haven’t been able to share the difference with me well enough for…
Mark M.'s Review of Little Bigs - Houston (3/5) on... →
I miss the old Mings, but I like what they’ve done with the place. The food is good value, but the quality as others have written is sporadic at best. The real winner here - the butter scotch milk…
Emmanuel C.'s Review of Rocbar - Houston (2/5) on... →
If you run into me at this place it’s because a friend of mine dragged me here.
This place is RocBar and Mosaic in one. First thing that you notice at this place is the stairs… and lots off them….
Nick S.'s Review of Pappasito's Cantina - Houston... →
I visit my parents twice a year in Houston and Pappasito’s us always on the list. I crave it for months. The beef Fajitas are the best. The bacon-wrapped shrimp are rdiculous. The quail, the fresh…
Emmanuel C.'s Review of Mosaic - Houston (3/5) on... →
Mosaic and RocBar share the same venue. So in order to get into this place you have to climb up the mountain of stairs (it seems like a mountain if your drunk; not that I would know about that,…
Polly D.'s Review of Buffalo Exchange - Houston... →
I wish I could be the cool hipster kid that this place means the world too, but.. eh. I’ll recover. I found it pretty overpriced for used clothing. NO, not all clothing was like that but the real…
Meg G.'s Review of Spec's Liquor Warehouse -... →
I’m taking a trip down memory lane….( I can remember yesteryear, way back… ) to the very first time my mother handed me my first bottle…. No, no…. I wasn’t discovering my toes or swatting at…
Andrew L.'s Review of Hilton Hotel Greenspoint -... →
I would like to give 3.75 stars. This is a remodel of I believe a Wyndham Hotel, but they did a good job redressing it, since on the inside, it looks absolutely new. The outside, looks clean, and…
Stephen R.'s Review of 3 Men Movers - Houston... →
I’ve used 3 Men Movers two times. The transportation flat fee and hourly fee are both a little over $100. The unfortunate thing about the hourly fee is that there is a 2 hour minimum. The hourly fee…
Polly D.'s Review of Wish - Houston (4/5) on Yelp →
Wish may not be everyone’s idea of an awesome little boutique, but I have much love for this store.
Why you may ask? And even if not, I’ll tell ya anyway. They totally saved my procrastinating ass…
Ashley G.'s Review of Loving Hut - Houston (5/5)... →
This is me and my mom’s new favorite restaurant! The decorum was lovely with beatiful lamps, different seating arrangements, artwork on the walls, and glittery pillars. We loved the green, white,…
Farrah A.'s Review of Guadalajara Del Centro -... →
This should not have been a two-hour lunch. I came here with a few yelpers after the Memorial Hermann Health Expo - famished we were - and were pleased to find our server quickly take our drink…
Chris C.'s Review of Hungry Farmers Barbeque -... →
Good BBQ and awesome service always. The recipe they use though seems to be different than the location on Airline dr. Try the Chicken Fried Steak sandwich, it’s the best I’ve had. The pie slices…
Richard M.'s Review of Barry's Pizza & Italian... →
Good Pizza, atmosphere and beer. What else could you ask for? Barry’s Pizza sells a few various items such as subs, wings, pasta, lasagna but I think most people come for the pizza. They serve two…
Polly D.'s Review of High Fashion Fabric Center -... →
Okay, gotta love the store for what the product is, and the product is very, very cool. I saw some seriously beautiful prints with price tags that induced horror movie screams. BUT, after taking the…
leo m.'s Review of Juanito's Mexican Restaurant -... →
yeah.. the food was OK, but the best reason to go is for there $1.25 margaritas. ;)
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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.
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…
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…
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…
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…
