    My first time here. Decided to start simple. I ordered spring rolls, bbq wings and an iced tea. They were busy but service was quick and friendly. I sat at the bar and was shortly after waited on. The waitress was friendly and even though I had a hard time understanding her through her mask, we got through it. The spring rolls were fresh and wings were very fresh and crispy (not greasy). They had very good sauce and well seasoned. The iced tea was fresh and cold. Overall very good. I will be back.

    Yum! Hughies should definitely be on your list of places to visit. The craft beer menu is amazing and long with a ton of options. The food was tasty and fresh. I ordered the grilled shrimp plate with a side of the lime pepper sauce (get this sauce next time you come in!) and we also ordered the steamed dumplings and a pork banh mi with a fried egg. Everything tasted great! The service was quick and helpful and there was seating indoors and outdoors.

    Fried shrimp go crazy!!! Dumplings are okay. Shaking beef is good. Had a couple beers here and light snacks. Nice place if you wanna get away from typical bar food

    Anytime you’re in HTX stop by my grandma’s favorite Vietnamese grille and tavern. The shaking beef, chicken and shrimp are to die for. They have a great beer menu any enthusiast would rate highly. Call ahead or come in a dine 😋 for an amazing experience.

    One of the best kale salads I’ve had and typically I don’t like kale lol. The raspberry vinaigrette dressing and cranberries are a nice balance to the bitterness kale leaves can have. Salmon cooked perfectly.

    Happy Lunar New Year! We stopped in this past weekend for a Lunar New Year celebration. Absolutely amazing! The service was spot on. The staff was very attentive. We just grabbed a beer but the food looked and smelled incredible. I highly recommend checking them out.

    Easily the best fried rice I've ever had. The waitress was SUPER friendly, and they have a solid selection of beer. Happy hour menu looked very promising too.

    First time there. The Fish n Chips was the star of the show. I also tried the Bahn MI with fries. Do be adventurous and add some fried eggs and pate. I found myself really enjoying the pate with my fries too. There were great options for beer and cider. The Cali Green went well with the fish n chip plate. The vibe was chill and the service was good. I will return.

    Shaking beef fried rice with an added egg over the top. In house ghost chili oil is spicy and they sell it as well. Tender beef, spicy fried rice, and attentive servers

    I visited Huggies with two of my friends. This was my first time having these dishes. I didn’t like the food. I had a rice dish, see picture. I also tried some appetizers. My friends did like their meal.

    First time in, and I went with my Houstonian coworks. The shaking chicken fried rice was excellent. I'm down here from Fort Worth working for about a month, I will definitely be back to sample another food item.

    The Shaking Surf & Turf salad was one of the best salads I’ve ever had. Tremendous flavor in the salad and proteins. Spicy shrimp and crawfish fried rice was also incredible. Not pictured we had the sweet chili sauce wings. Above avg wing but the sauce put it over the top. Crispy dumplings were also pretty good with top notch dipping sauce.

    Good food and service. We got the beef fried rice and chicken fried steak. Both were delicious. The pickup was easy since it's curbside. Staff was nice. Restaurant had an outdoor and indoor space. The food is definitely worth trying and looking forward to try their drinks.

    I was not sure what to expect at Hughie's. The inside seemed a bit outdated, but damn, the food here was outstanding. They also had a great craft beer selection. This is a great example of not judging a book by its cover. My waitress was also great and regularly checked on me.

    Misters, outdoor fans and shade - they understand the necessities for outdoor dining in Houston! Nice neighborhood restaurant with a mix of Vietnamese dishes and American bar food. Only disappointment was they didn’t have Pho. Apparently it’s served in the mornings and they sell out by afternoon according to the waitress. Also, not a lot of noodles in the vermicelli bowl. Tasty food and worth the visit.

  • 4/5 Sarah T. 11 months ago on Google
    Hughies is known for their shaking beef and it did not disappoint!! My only complaint was I wish there was more of it in the vermicelli bowl... The plates had a lot more beef so I felt like the bowl was kind of lacking. The salad itself was refreshing and crunchy, perfectly dressed. The beer selection was great and the yuzu ginger had a great zing to it. Service is seat yourself and we were served very quickly. The country fried steak was large and absolutely smothered in gravy. They also have heaping portions of salad. It was hard to eat it all which is a good problem.

    This place has plenty of seating inside and outside. The waitress was super nice and attentive. They have plenty of options for beer and wine, no hard alcohol. They have plenty of options for food, vietnamese and American. The food was absolutely delicious, all of the food had so much flavors and tasted fresh. Definitely will be back !

    The service was great! I came in for dinner and we were seated (2 people) right away. Our waitress was super lively and attentive. We ordered spring rolls, shaking beef with fried rice (highly recommend), and grilled chicken rice platter. The spring rolls were okay in flavor but very fresh, and the two entrees were really good! I personally didn't care for the fried rice by itself but when the shaking beef was eaten with a scoop of rice at the same time, it was hard to stop eating! The restaurant atmosphere was really interesting and lively, kind of like a sports bar and less like a traditional Vietnamese restaurant. Goes along with the fact this restaurant also serves things like burgers on the menu but pho only some Saturday mornings (slightly sad about that but it was okay). Overall, I'd go back!

    I had always gone to the North Main location. This location is as good. The food is reasonably priced and very tasty vegan options. The shaking options seem to be the specialty. Chili lime sauce with a high sweet note.theres a full. bar and large craft beer selection. The set vice was friendly and prompt my Friend enjoyed the shaking chicken. A good first choice in an area chuffed with first choices. Ample parking eclectic building a former fast food place. The patio is dog-friendly. If your not ready for a restaurant yet curbside and take away options

    Ordered take-out online - notified by text when the food was ready, which was faster than expected. The drive-thru pick up set up is super convenient and the staff who brought out the food were helpful and friendly. Portion size was actually bigger than I was expecting, and everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. Not sure why I waited so long to try Hughie's, but I'll definitely order take out from them again!
