I was nervous reading all of the other reviews. But they were actually very accommodating to our large party 14 turned to 20 and no issues on dress code. We did go on a Saturday early brunch so I'm not sure if that's different for a night crowd. But the food was really good, the patron tree was good, the prices were reasonable. We didn't have a wait because we arrived a little after 11 when they opened but as we were leaving I heard there was a 2 hour wait. I don't have any complaints outside of parking $20 but that was to be expected for the location.

This spot ruin the experience of Houston Texas for me. The bacon was undercooked, and the pancakes and waffles tasted disgusting. Not only that the service was awful.. Our waitress barely interacted with us wasn’t sociable didn’t smile look like she hated her job and wasn’t helpful. They also include gratuity within the bill and don’t split checks. For anyone visiting Houston do not waste your time at this brunch spot.. The only thing good I will say that came out of this spot was the DJ.

This was my first time there, I went during brunch, the specials don't start til 3pm. The patron drink was good, not too strong and the avocado toast I has was delicious. I'm not sure if they don't have servers since my guest and I sat for almost an hr and then we went up to the bar to order. Otherwise, vibes are nice. Will try again after 3pm another day to see how it vibes in the night hours.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! If I could give this place zero stars I would, it was Trash capital T! Everybody was so rude it’s insane, from the guy asking for ID’s to the bartender who wasn’t even polite enough to open his mouth when I asked questions about the menu. You can see how nasty the table was and even the floor. There was no one attending to us you had to go order everything at the bar. We ordered the Patron tree and the breakfast board. The food was cold and no silverware was provided, only flimsy plastic forks and knives to eat waffles and pancakes with. After more than 40 minutes no patron tree in sight, I had to ask a passing by waitress about it for her to tell me that we have to go get this big thing (see pictures) ourselves at the bar. The bartender made no communication about it that we had to come get it at the bar when I placed the order. And it doesn’t make sense since the food was brought to the table by a waiter. They were supposed to be frozen margaritas and as you can see they were all watery by the time I went to the bar to pick them up. I confronted the bartender about it and he is going to tell me with an attitude that I had to come pick it up here (which he didn’t mention) and anyways he did not know where I was. Thing I didn’t understand since the Patron tree had our table number on it. And the big finally, the cherry on top of the cake, they added a $14 gratuity (for a party of 2 people) to the worst service I’ve ever received in my entire life. Do not go waste your money there please, it’s not worth it at all. Houston has better spots for brunch, I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!

Whether you are from here or out of town- I would not have it on my itinerary. 1st- it's 20 dollar parking. Unless you're planning to be there for hours, it's not worth it. 2nd- their attire policy is weird. I would try to get confirmation before you go since you cannot where certain shoes but you can wear sandals. It was pretty hot whether you sat inside or out since they do not have a closed building. We were served pretty quickly but at this point, we weren't very excited to try anything. The drinks come in plastic over glass cups which could be understandable but came across as cheap. The drinks themselves were okay in taste and subpar in alcohol ratio. We had a spicy pineapple and a Paloma. The chicken and waffles tasted good but again- pretty standard wherever you go. It was not something I would go to it you're visiting as the vibe they were going for is one you can find done better in your city. They did have good music though.

Bar tender was nice. Tried a new drink. Can’t remember the name of it though. I’ll just call it lemonade deliciousness. Chicken sandwich was fantastic. I also ate something that tasted like ceviche, and it was fresh as could be. I highly recommend.

I wish I could give a 0 stars to this place. I walked into this place there's no host or waiters to let you know you sit yourself. The bar tender just looked at me and didn't try to let me know I could sit anywhere. I sat down eventually and waited to get a menu or some kind of service while I was waiting on my party to get here. Nothing happened till my friend went to the bar to ask who will give us a menu so he finally gave a qr code menu. The bar tender charged a 20% gratuity for 4 people which makes no scene. Never again will me and my party go to this Clutch again.

Mayne.... I love the Breakfast Board concept. The wings are crunchy yet still juicy, and the waffles are thick with a slight crisp. I didn't want to do the Advocado Toast, but I did. It happened. Haha. Soooo worth it, especially with a side of bacon. (Yeah...yeah... ignore how I took a healthy meal into what I WANTED IT TO BE. Move around. :-)...). Service....pshhh... it's busy but the entire team from morning to evening shift was on point, present, and knowledgeable. Bar was quick with drinks. Hennessy Side Car and Espressso Martini were both great. Destiny and CeCe (sp??) Were great, especially during the shift change. They split tips, so if possible, pay and tip in cash so they leave with bread in their pockets. Owner...or GM (IDK) moved around, kept a vibe and checked on his staff from servers, bar, security, and bussers. Shared the love with everyone. (IYKYK) Atmosphere: If you're unhappy, then you just don't love life. (I said it...). Music alone is at a volume that keeps the crowd engaged and moving. DJ was on point with the best list. The snare drummer walks around and engages the guests, allows them to try thier best to play along and is on point with the DJ. Sheesh!!! Took everything in me not to ask for the sticks. Lolol. As you can tell, I can't say enough about Clutch. But I will 'cause I need to try the hookah (and to get in that snare :-z). I was told it was only $40 for the hookah and had a variety of flavors by a guest seated next to us. Let me stop now. I have much love to you and the culture you brought to the Heights area. <3 Aurora. JK... Not done.... I should have read previous reviews because I was shocked to see an average of 3.5 stars. Firstly. Racist/Colorist was not on display at ANY point during the 3 hours we were there. It's unfortunate to hear that people felt that way, but we will never know the whole story. Jordans not being allowed... lies. So many people were in Js and they dressed their color ways to perfection. I will say, I did not see a single person dressed down. And I wouldn't come casual for an exceptional establishment like Clutch. The staff does not show up looking lazy, so don't do them a disservice by not coming to have a good time and feeling your best. Simple.

Good food and a good time! The vibe is great. The DJ was good on Sunday. I will definitely be returning. On Sundays the best time to go in my opinion is in between brunch ending at 3 and 5 before the kitchen opens back up. The margarita flight is cute in presentation, strong on the tequila, and good in taste. The mimosa tower is great as well and a very decent price. I think the shots are overpriced but they were also good. The bartenders and bottle girls are sweet. When it's busy with large groups they get very slack with circling back around to check on you. The hookah is good and you can pay with cash app which is always convenient. The flavors with mint were better in my opinion. The food is good and comes out quickly.

I have previously had a positive experience with this establishment, but upon returning to Houston and wishing to revisit, I encountered an issue. Unfortunately, I had my teenage son accompanying me, and it came to my attention that this company does not permit the presence of children. Regrettably, this policy is not clearly stated on their website, which is crucial information for individuals who wish to visit again. It is imperative that this requirement be communicated effectively, as visitors who are unfamiliar with the local knowledge should be made aware in order to plan accordingly and fully enjoy the culinary experience offered.

We sat at the bar for brunch, which was delicious. Music was on point with a live atmosphere. The only problem is that the service sucks. As we were placing our, she rudely walked away and began clearing another area of the bar (not too far but not close enough to here us either). Once she was done cleaning, she resumed taking our order. From there, we had to keep flagging our bartender/waitress down. If gratuity wasn't already included, she would not have received a damn cent from me.

My brother pick me up from the airport and we went here for breakfast in Houston Texas. The food was good. The place was nice The place was clean. They have a outside patio where you can eat. The place is real big

It was my second time here. I really appreciated having a server this time. The whole table liked the server's feedback regarding the menu. The drinks were strong and the food was good. The only improvement I would suggest would be to have the option of paying the parking fee with a card.

Food was good. We had a large group. We were unabled to be accommodated because this establishment does not offer reservations. We still had a great time after our long wait. And the service was great. Can't wait to Go back with a smaller friend group next time.

It is an absolute culinary gem! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and vibrant. The menu is a delightful fusion of flavors, and each dish was a masterpiece of taste and presentation. The attentive staff made the dining experience even more enjoyable. I particularly loved their signature dish; it was a flavor explosion! The attention to detail and quality ingredients shine through in every bite. Whether for a special occasion or a casual night out, Clutch Food Restaurant delivers a dining experience that leaves a lasting impression. It's my go-to spot for exceptional food and service.

Went here for lunch, but instead, they had brunch & and on a Friday. That was cool. I had their brunch burger served with an egg & was very good. My wifey ordered the avocado toast and also topped with an egg. Our drinks were the michelada & my wife had the "Just in Time". Our friends had a peach crown mixer. All the food & drinks were good. We did have a little confusion with the whole brunch thing. They weren't serving from their lunch menu items at that time (12pm) during "brunch". They said they don't start serving from their lunch until about 2 or 4. Idk... so we didn't get to try anything from their lunch items, which looked good. Oh well, I think they should've just called it something different other than brunch. Just my 2 cents. The only other issue that bothered me was the loud music. It was good music, but it was so loud that I had to yell just to talk. We couldn't even hear the waitress. And I don't recommend taking your kids their at that time cause the music is explicit. All though I think it's cool they have a live DJ playing.

Came for brunch on a Saturday, we didn’t have to pay to park or anything, which was pleasantly surprising. We got a table immediately and our waitress was very attentive. I loved that they had live DJs, it made the place feel like a party. The food was pretty good, I loved the waffle bites with the strawberry sauce and the chicken wings we got on the side were perfectly fried and seasoned. We got the patron tower and it was good and strong, I definitely recommend going for it if there’s at least 2 of you. If I had to knock them for anything it would be that their two person tables are really small and they charge gratuity no matter the party size. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be back next time I visit Houston. And they’re open until 2 am!
