Vibe- Literally the same chill vibe with great music as Leeland House that is literally right next door and I found out they’re owned by the same person so go figure! There’s plenty of seating options outside and inside. You find your seat and then order at the bar. Customer service- Great! Food/drinks- I got a beach please cocktail to drink and a chicken sandwich without the chicken and extra onions to make it vegetarian; they were both good. Parking- There’s parking right in front of the building and if you get there right when they open you’ll probably get one, but if not there’s street parking.

Our new favorite spot in Houston. Very relaxing atmosphere and their white brisket queso hit the spot! Perfectly made espresso martini. Great service and enjoyed the company of the other friendly patrons. Eado, (East of Downtown) area is up and coming and this was the perfect down to earth spot to relax at.

This is a nice little place among a cluster of eateries across from 8th Wonder. It's in an old house and is really a neat place with inside and outside tables. Orders are made at the bar for drinks and food. That's the only thing I was disappointed about. The food is of the caliber worthy of a good sit down meal. The staff was very friendly. And, the food was served hot. I enjoyed my visit and will be back. But I'll be sitting at the bar next time. I recommend the Crispy Cauliflower, it is fantastic.

Brunch was absolutely delicious!!! Split a carafe of mimosas with a friend and it was perfect (and really well priced!). Service was quick, super friendly, and the overall atmosphere of the place was perfect for a laid back brunch moment. Food was so incredibly fresh and delicious. 10/10 recommend!!!!

Great atmosphere! Drinks were strong and really well made and prices are good. Went there with friends for steak night on a Thursday. Steaks are delicious! 24$ for steak, potatoes, and a salad. Definitely recommend for a nice chill and relaxing time with friends. Next to graffiti wall , so you can stop by and take pictures too. The view of downtown is awesome from the outside patio they have.

Fantastic drinks! Exceptional brunch menu with a nice variety! Each item is presented beautifully and the quality of ingredients is superb. Homemade crust on the quiche of the day was impeccable! Friendly service from a bartender who is highly skilled. Comfortable patio or indoor seating is available.

Cute spot... go early to get a seat/table but crowd starts to build later in the evening 10pm into the later evening. Mixed crowd. Outdoors mostly with small indoor space/bar. Large screen TVs, music. Food was good. Tacos and Margaritas. Friendly staff. Be careful with parking in the area. Park in wrong spot you may get towed.

This place is very cool, the drinks are good and the ambiance is so much fun and lively. Unfortunately I gave it a 3 star because I waited 2 hours to get my food, despite me asking several times. The poor server/bartender was on it though and props to her.

I’ve been coming to Around the Corner for steak night for a while and usually enjoy it, which is why this experience was disappointing. We arrived around 9:00 PM, later than I usually go… and weren’t told the restaurant had switched to a self-service ordering system. We sat for about 15–20 minutes before I had to walk to the bar to ask what was going on, only then learning we needed to order ourselves. There was no signage or communication explaining this. After ordering at the bar, giving our table number, and asking if everything was okay, we were told yes. We then waited 30–45 minutes for our food while tables that arrived well after us were being served. When I went back to ask about the delay, I was told our food would be out soon while plates were actively being carried to those later tables, which added to the confusion. Mind you it was nobody really there.. and stray cats just strolling through the tables. We waited maybe another 10 min.. until our food came out. Shortly after, the person who took our order at the bar came to the table and said there was an issue with my card on his end and the ticket never went through, even though my card had already been authorized and I had already confirmed everything was okay when ordering. Communication throughout the process felt unclear. They did offer 25% off and complimentary shots, which I appreciated. However, by the time we finished eating, the restaurant was closing …the TVs were turned off, the bar had already closed, and there was no table check-in. I didn’t sign or approve anything; my card was automatically charged (including automatic gratuity), and everyone simply moved on. I don’t mind self-service, but this felt impersonal and disorganized. I prefer having a waiter or waitress so there’s clear communication and someone to go to when issues come up. The food is solid…but the service and communication just need serious improvement. I’m sharing this feedback mainly to highlight the lack of structure and communication.

I came here for Steak Night. There were like 3 other tables in addition to mine, we were 2 people. We say hii to the waitress (to call her) when we see her, she responds: "ohh do I know you??" Awkward but ok. She takes our order like 10min after. We ask questions she doesn't have a clue about what wins they had on draft, what sides are the most popular, etc. Then she says they need to hold the full amount of the order from our card, including, why not, 18% gratuity, which would be automatically charged to all tables. We don't like this but still, we're already there, and we want to have a good time. My card goes through, I get the pending charge notification but then the waitress comes back 10min later to do that transaction again since she didn't send the order to the kitchen.. what?? So they end up passing my card, again (otherwise, no food for us..). Food was just ok. Somehow cold, but good seasoning. When we wanted to ask for another glass of wine no one was showing up. When some staff finally showed up, he asked "oh do you not have a waiter?".. so we had to ask him if he could call her. Anyways, as expected.. it took much longer to get our glasses of wine. Anyways.. all the bad experience, like I said, came with an upfront charged 18% gratuity.. the explanation was that they do it to take care of their people..but I'm just here wondering how they take care of their clients. It wasn't a busy day AT ALL 3 or 4 tables at most. My first and last time coming here.

Placed my order, more than an hour had passed before I flagged someone down and asked where the rest of our food was? I had already finished my salad and drink. He had not been served at all. She asked if we had switched tables, which I informed we hadn’t. She then comes back and offers us a free drinks (we declined, we don’t drink alcohol) stating that for some reason our order was never placed/made. The food did eventually come out and it looked aesthetically pleasing but was NOT worth the wait. I’ve never had crunchy French toast & was not a fan. I do recommend you guys train your staff properly and manage the kitchen properly. It was extremely disappointing.
