  • 5/5 Tyren S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was phenomenal. We ordered the hand pulled burrata, Cajun duck poppers, shrimp and grits, and a couple dozen prestige oysters. The burrata was deliciously paired with pepper jelly, a great rendition of the cream cheese and pepper jelly my wife and I serve for guests at our home. The duck poppers were extremely flavorful and wrapped with bacon. The prestige oysters were so refreshing. Our server Erin was beyond words, kind and polite our entire meal. I appreciate efficient and competent service with a sincere smile above anything and Erin topped was five star on all counts.

    My first time at this restaurant for my niece’s birthday and it definitely won’t be the last. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. At least two managers came by to check on us. I believe our server was new, but was still fairly knowledgeable and made great recommendations. Please leave room for their bread pudding….DELICIOUS!!! I can’t wait till it gets a little warmer to enjoy their beautiful patio.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Upon pulling up to the restaurant, I could tell that this was going to be a nice experience. The decor is very light and clean. You definitely get the sense of dining in a 4 star establishment. Appetizers were excellent. The lump crab cake was flavorful. The skillet cornbread was AMAZING! The butter/syrup combination on the top really took it to another level . The Duroc breaded pork had a perfect consistency of breading. It was light. The oil used to fry it was fresh. The kale on top was delightful. Even for someone who isn't a fan of excessive greens, it was a bright spot of the dish. The best part of this experience was the Shrimp Étouffée. The roux was bold. The color of the roux was deep, which leads me to believe this flavor profile was achieved over a longer period of time rather than just thrown together last minute. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the fried shrimp on top created the most beautiful contrast of texture. Although it wasn't traditionally served with rice, the spinach pasta was more enjoyable. They are smaller bits of pasta, so you won't feel overwhelmed by excessive starch. The only negatives that I would give this restaurant are the following: The potato salad served with the bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo was not proportionate to the serving size of gumbo. This actually made the gumbo less enjoyable. The size of the crab cake for the price paid was disgraceful. Don't forget to save room for the bread pudding! It is out of this world.

    I had very high expectations going into this restaurant this weekend. I was going to give only two stars. However, our waiter was so good such that he made up a lot of shortcomings of this restaurant in addition to the very nice atmosphere. We ordered our drinks at the bar while waiting to be seated. My friend didn't get a full taste of single malt Scotch because jigger was not washed out, and my dirty martini was not good at all. Except the appetizers I do not wanna talk much about the food because it was way below our expectations. I can accept all the things that I have mentioned above when giving reviews about the restaurants qualities however, one thing I cannot accept is when the staff starts cleaning out the dining room at 9:30 to close out while the patrons are still in the restaurant. It was so bad that as we were finishing our meals and drinks we were not only watching the staff cleaning but also trying to deal with the smell of Clorox!

    I met with an investor at Eunice and had a young man named Robbie as our server. He had to have been one of the funniest waiters I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting! The food came out in a reasonable time; I ordered the Butter Lettuce Salad as an entree and WOW - not only was it delicious, but beautiful as well! 10 out of 10 - Would recommend!!!

    My 1st visit to Eunice. The food was amazing. I forgot to take pictures before we ate but I did finish it all. The kale salad with the pork chop was delicious. Best kale salad I have ever had. Very flavorful. The brussels sprouts were seasoned with perfection with a touch of spice. The skillet cornbread was OMG so good. Our lemon tart with raspberry sorbet was to die for. I can't wait to visit this place again.

    My daughter and I went for Thanksgiving...I had the Thanksgiving dinner, my daughter had Duck. I must say, it was, by far, the best Thanksgiving meal I've ever had. My daughter loved the Duck. We have intentions of making Eunice our new Thanksgiving tradition. The restaurant is situated beautifully, the service was top notch, and the food was very flavorful. Kudos Chef! A parking garage is situated next to the restaurant but I would suggest valet.

    The restaurant ambience was good. It was my first visit and I loved the food. The entree options in chicken/ fish were limited, so do check the menu online before visiting. Rating it as 4 star for the overall pleasant experience, food taste and the service.

    Really superb New Orleans inspired restaurant in Greenway Plaza. We ended up doing just a handful of appetizers. The stuffed oysters. Burrata with a tasty pepper jelly and mini biscuits as good as you'll get anywhere in the south. Duck poppers. Cornbread (compliments of our excellent waitress because we couldn't decide). All with a well-made Sazerac and delicious white wine. A bit pricey, but we'll worth it. Highly recommended. 2 thumbs up.

    Great place for dinner. Oysters, corn bread, quail, biscuits, grilled gulf fish special, etc… It was all awesome. Also, the house drinks and wine list are fantastic. We went for an anniversary and we were treated like royalty.

    Absolutely amazing food! The price tag matches the quality! Sadly the gumbo at dinner isn't actually much of a gumbo, it's an artistic take on it, but if you like quail, give it a try. Personally, I am Cajun and it doesn't suit my taste. The original gumbo that I love is avaliable during lunch!

    I met up with a colleague for a last minute late night dinner and was blown away. Not only were the cocktails and food amazing, but the atmosphere and service was IMMACULATE!! Amanda was amazing and deserves 5 stars across the board. She was very patient and made very excellent recommendations. She was attentive and quick with putting in orders/bringing them out. She really made this dine in experience so much better than expected. If you want the best possible service with a beautiful smile, I would suggest you ask for AMANDA! The food was excellent as well, but the service we were provided was the cherry on top!

    Well I had my first ever Gumbo (chicken and sausage) and it SLAPPED HARD!! Incredible flavours and a fantastic set brunch Service a little hit an miss, drinks very slow but otherwise a five star review for food and ambiance and value for money.

  • 5/5 Emanuel P. 7 months ago on Google
    My partner and I visited Eunice for our anniversary, and it was a welcoming experience from the moment we entered. After getting a note that it was our anniversary, our server congratulated us and brought us back two glasses of champagne to celebrate. We ordered the Dan Dan Shrimp, the Cornmeal Crusted Oyster, and the cup of gumbo to start. Amazing! Our mains, Herb Roasted Chicken and Crispy Duroc Pork Chop, were also great. As an LGBT couple, this was such a beautiful, welcoming (and yummy!) experience. We will be coming back next time we are in Houston!

  • 5/5 Marissa R. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious! We were in town from Austin and had a great Sunday lunch! We tried a little of everything. Biscuits, frittata, shrimp and grits, and the cheeseburger (to die for). Nate took great care of us! You should definitely ask for him when you visit. Hope to go back soon.

    My new favorite restaurant in Houston!! Tim was an amazing server and recommend very awesome dishes! The restaurant was nice and airy. I will be back soon.

  • 5/5 Alan S. 4 months ago on Google
    This is the best restaurant I have ever been to and my favorite restaurant in my life so far - I’m 9 for reference. I’ve had 2 birthdays here and the lemonade is outstanding. The shrimp cocktail is also greatly appreciated. Rocco is also the best server here at Eunice. 10/10 but I can only leave 5 stars.

  • 5/5 Mfon E. 10 months ago on Google
    Brussel Sprouts from Heaven I can only speak for the dishes I got - brussel sprouts and the beignets. The former was much better than the later. The beignets were more edible because of the sauces, else I don’t think I’d have finished it. I’d give that dish a solid 3 or 2.4. The brussel sprouts make one want to be a vegetarian, even if it’s only for a day. Server was nice but I think he was new, which is ok because he made up for it by being nice. Great spot to go with friends. Overall 4.5 stars if I could

    It was a great dinner. Our server Nathan provided such great service! Food is well thought of. He also surprised us with a great thought of providing us amazing dessert. I had a very awful shift at work and Nathan made our night with such a sweet gesture. We enjoyed our dining here! Oysters are so fresh and delicious. Will recommend and we will definitely be back. The ambience of the place is romantic and quite upscale.

  • 5/5 Rhonda C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent lunch spot, date spot or whatever. The atmosphere was amazing, and the creole/Cajun dishes were sublime. I was very delighted with the appetizers as well as the main dish, the desserts were to die for, loved it. The servers were courteous, efficient and polite. Can't wait to return and I won't hesitate to recommending Eunice.

  • 5/5 Lila H. 1 year ago on Google
    Eunice is the type of place you plan your Houston vacation FOR! You pick the days you want to have brunch, lunch, AND dinner here and then plan everything else. We were taken care of by the bartenders because of where we decided to sit, and what a great choice that ended up being. Taylor and Assad gave us great recommendations when asked and impeccable service. If you are there when Assad is working, make sure you ask for the Wake Me Up and Eff Me Up espresso drink. The lemon addition is surprisingly delicious! We were fortunate to be able to chat with the manager Ishmael and let him know firsthand how great everything was. He was so gracious and kind. We had the Etoufee, shrimp and grits, chicken liver mousse, fire roasted broccolini, cast iron cornbread, gumbo, and bread pudding. Can't wait to come again.

    We arrived for brunch about 5 minutes before they actually opened and the general manager let us in. Super accommodating and welcoming. Jasmine was our waitress and she was fantastic. Honestly the best wait staff I’ve ever encountered. The food was amazing and delicious. The drinks were smooth and strong. Everything was wonderful. We shared half dozen prestige oysters, Tabasco honey quail (fried bandera quail), the heath roasted roasters (with blue crab, shrimp, and breadcrumbs), and the soft shell crab cake on Texas toast. Drinks included puro pasion (spicy), Bramble, bees knees, and the sidecar. Sidecar is apparently signature and most popular drink. All freaking fantastic. Dessert: bread pudding (most popular and it was amazing) and the cheesecake (which was my favorite). Parking in the garage was validated and free. They also have valet parking for free as well.

    I've been here many times. I enjoy the ambiance and the food. Today I had the hearth roasted oysters, and fried quail. While both were pretty good, I felt salt would have saved the day. Everything was a bit underseasoned today. The sidecar was noteworthy.

  • 5/5 Ethan L. 1 year ago on Google
    Very unique experience. Each dishes are well prepared and delicious. Corn bread are light but keep the tradition, the gumbo it's a must try! Great appetizer selections with a satisfying dessert menu. Friendly staff and enjoyable ambiance.

    Really outstanding bartenders n and sophisticated casual bar ambiance. Ask for Naz!! One of my favorite HH destinations - open, airy n relaxed atmosphere with clean execution on some really good menu selections.

  • 1/5 Shanna P. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is beautiful, has great service and a nice ambiance. However, the food was terrible. I ordered the "Yard Omelette" and the menu described the plate "omelette, with spinach, crawfish with fresh berries". Instead, I got a folded non cracked egg omelette with some disgusting cream sauce and bland crawfish tails outside. Also on the plate skinny French fries, and arugula nasty salad. I'm like how does this mix?? See pic. I am from a small town near Eunice, LA and this dish would never fly! I didn't complain because I was reuniting with my family member and had my food packed to go. I did taste my family member shrimp and grits and it was better than my dish. I am tired of people claiming Louisiana cuisine and miss the mark.

  • 4/5 Malachi D. 1 year ago on Google
    We dined here with a group of 10. Sara was our server. She was great. She was patient with us 1st timers. She explained the menu and ordered the top appetizers and entrées. I ordered the fried oysters breaded in cornmeal. The skillet cornbread was a HIT 😋 I also ordered the fresh squeezed lemonade. It was yummy. My entrée was the salad with shrimp. I enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and I will be going back.

  • 5/5 Angeleen G. 1 year ago on Google
    We started at the bar, and first impressions were top notch. The service at the bar was friendly, knowledgeable, and very perceptive to our needs. I had the Sidecar drink which was good, but then went with the signature Margarita which was very good, smooth and delicious. For lunch, we had a variety of starters, entrees, and desserts. The cornbread was perfect with the right amount of sweetness and textural crunch from the skillet. We also got a variety of oysters and paté. Both, very good. I had the shrimp and grits as my entree. It was very flavorful. Our lunch was a family gathering, and everyone there had a great experience! The atmosphere and food were excellent. I can't wait to go back!
