I really enjoyed my brunch experience at Leeland House. I visited for the first time after Sunday service looking for a chill brunch vibe that didn’t have all the extra activity that comes with other Houston restaurants. The Honey Butter Chicken biscuit was AMAZING!! The chicken was nicely fried on a homemade biscuit. I appreciated the fact that I could add bacon and they had a good mixed berry jam to balance out the savory with sweet. Of course I did the mimosa carafe and the choice of fruit juices (Mango) instead of only plain OJ was a bonus. What I ended up appreciating the most was the service model. All orders - food and drinks, are placed and paid for at the bar upon ordering and you’re given a number to take to your table. There are multiple bartenders so you don’t have to worry about a long wait or having to go look for your server which was refreshing. Only reason I’m not giving it a 10 is because of the limited indoor seating and lack of free parking which is expected for this part of town. There are fans on the porch and in the patio area so it’s not unbearable during the meal. Overall 9/10!

So impressed with this place!! Such a cool vibe. Our server Jorge was the best!!! I added a poached egg to the shrimp and grits - delicious!! Amazing coffee drinks too!

A few of us came for breakfast. Gage took care of us. The food was 100% satisfying! I got the sweet potato bowl with a burger patty added and 2 eggs over medium. We didn’t have a reservation

We were there today for Sunday breakfast. My husband’s third day in a row and my first. It exceeded his description. I had eggs Benedict. Out of this world. Delicious ham on the Benedict and 2 slices of the most delicious bacon I’ve ever eaten. The signature coffee was some of the best coffee I’ve ever had in the US. Strong and flavourful. The indoor atmosphere is cozy . There is a very large outdoor area with big screens which will be perfect for sporting events like the World Cup. And the staff were so friendly. Our server (wish I had gotten his name) was incredible. Only wish they weren’t closed Monday and Tuesday so we could go back before leaving Houston. A reason to return…..

Pedro and Sacha were soooo nice and helpful. Best service ever. Friendly, nice energy, vibes. They have it all. First time here, definitely won’t be the last.

I visited Leland House in Houston today and had the pleasure of being served by Journey. She was amazing — incredibly patient, attentive, and genuinely sweet. Her warm personality and excellent service made the whole experience even better. Thank you, Journey, for making our visit so enjoyable! I’ll definitely be back. 👏✨

We've been meaning to stop by for awhile but are usually sweaty from our walks and didn't want to offend. My husband had the Benedict and confess with side salad and a sweet, peppery bacon. I had the brisket hash and it was lovely. The brisket is sourced from a bbq spot across the street, the potatoes were crispy and perfectly seasoned. Our Americanos were strong and delicious. We'll definitely be back to try other menu items.

Came here for Brunch and the vibes were LITTTT there was a live DJ playing bangers and the food was DELICIOUS! Jorge was a great server!

Is it obvious that we like coming here? My boyfriend and I come here every few Sundays (free street parking) and here’s why: The food is great, the vibes are vibrant, and the price is good! I was held in a chokehold by the Leeland Benedict, but as of late have been stuck on the Brisket Hash bowl. The açaí bowl was pretty good, but not anything I plan to get again. I highly recommending getting lavender lemonade, it looks pretty and tastes delicious! I love the live dj that plays and the overall convivial space. It seems that Leeland has upped its service and is now having servers take orders, rather than customers coming up to severs to order which is nice. The only reservation I have is that Leeland has a bit of a consistency issue, as sometimes dishes will be served different (ex: we got truffle fries served plain which was great, then the next time the fries were served with aioli). Overall, love Leeland’s and highly recommending going!!

Had a great time here! First time visiting and the food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Please visit and ask for server Sasha and barista Jorge! They exceeded my expectations and were so kind and attentive to our needs and recommendations. 10/10!

Stellar spot for a hungover brunch. Nice back patio with airflow and food is great. Got the Honey Chicken Biscuit and it was a great size with lots of honey, chicken was crispy, and biscuit was dense and delicious. Potatoes on the side were nice.

Wow! That was some breakfast……I may not eat again this year! It’s a small place in a rather rundown part of Eastern Downtown Houston that’s unfortunately surrounded by construction work at the moment. But it’s a diamond 💎. Go find it. Lovely friendly staff, and delicious food - I had the Açai Bowl - wholesome and delicious and French toast with a side of bacon - indulgent but delicious! Coffee and fresh orange juice. Not cheap - $38 but excellent. Go get fed!

Sacha and Pedro are the best!! If you get them, you're in good hands. I will be back to visit them. Also, the sweet potato hash was the bomb dot comb! I got it with shrimp instead of egg. YUM.

The environment was great being able to be outside and see big screens while eating. The food was just ok as some things were better than others. The coffee and lemon aid drinks were top notch so def would come back just for those.

This is a really relaxed spot with delicious food. However, I noticed that their online menu doesn’t match what’s available in the restaurant, which was a bit confusing when trying to place our order. I was looking forward to trying a few specific items but unfortunately, they weren't available. We did order the sweet potato hash and the fried French toast, both of which were outstanding and deserving of a 5/5 rating. As for customer service, there’s definitely room for improvement. The staff member who took our order seemed a bit dismissive and communication could have been clearer, though he wasn’t unkind. One thing to keep in mind is that they do not accept cash. Overall, a great place thats mostly quiet. It would be a cool space to work from as well.

Went for Sunday Brunch. The property is huge with plenty of seating. They had a DJ, and two large screens in the back to watch games. Food came out fast. The only issue was I asked for truffle oil to be added to my breakfast potatoes and they didn’t add it. Otherwise, à great experience!

My cousin and I visited this spot after hearing about their "elevated breakfast," but while the food looked good, the overall experience didn't quite live up to that label. When we arrived, the hostess let us know it was open seating--so we grabbed a spot on their spacious patio, which was lovely. There's also a small indoor area if you prefer to dine inside. However, the setup was more casual than expected: after claiming a table, you place your order at the bar, and the food is brought out to you. That's totally fine for a relaxed café, but it didn't match the "elevated" experience we had in mind. That said, the bartender was very friendly and made us feel welcome. We ordered the Sweet Potato Hash, Leeland Benedict, a Honey Lavender Latte, and a 'Stachio Matcha Latte. My cousin enjoyed her latte and Benedict--especially the bacon it came with. My dish, on the other hand, fell a bit short. The avocado mash didn't taste fresh or homemade, and I would've much preferred fresh sliced avocado. The sweet potatoes were inconsistent--some were delicious, others undercooked. The lavender latte was very light and didn't leave much of an impression. Also worth noting: parking is street-only, so it's a good idea to arrive early to give yourself time to find a spot. Overall, it's a cute place with friendly service and a relaxed vibe, but the food and setup felt more casual than elevated. Nice if you're already in the area, but not a must-visit.

Something told me to run the other way, but we were so hungry we decided to stay. The restaurant looked as if it needed to close to clean up the place. Almost like there was a group of 100 and they left a big mess. The food was mediocre at best, the pancakes were extremely dry, the potatoes were burnt and everything was bland. The service was nonexistent until it was time to pay and suprise, suprise, we were told there's an auto 18% gratuity added to each check.

Parking was ok on the street. -The atmosphere was clean and cozy. -Signature coffee came out lukewarm. -Acai bowl was basic but tasted good. -Peach tea didnt come with peaches in it. -Shocked how cold food was when it came out so fast. - hot chicken biscuit came out cool.. breading was soggy tasted like chicken was slathered with chicken bouillon the scrambled eggs were cool and dry. potatoes were not crispy and cool. -The jam burger was good but dry. fries were cool not really seasoned either.. daughter liked her fairy matcha drink. ×××Bill is paid when food is ordered and 18% gratuity is automatically added onto the bill××× Overall let down! -Trying to give my daughter who goes to UH a good meal and fell very short of expectations after reading reviews and posted pictures.

Not a good experience. We had reservations but still ended up waiting 35 minutes for a table. Turns out, people were walking in from the street and seating themselves at empty/available tables they found and bypassing the host booth! Whats the point of checking in? The service was extremely slow. We waited 45 min for juice and coffee. Over an hour for food. Parts of our order were wrong and sent back and replacements were sent in 30-45 min. Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to complaints about this place. I would not recommend or return. Save your money for another location that cares about customer service. It’s a loss since the food was actually tasty but the service and environment ruined the dining experience.

I'm writing this review as I sit waiting for my food and even just my DRINK. We came at 1:30, was told there was a 35 minute wait and we would be notified via text when it was ready. 45 minutes go by, no text. So, we had to basically remind them we were waiting. Finally we get seated, another 15-20 minutes and we have to flag down someone to take our order. As we place the order, the waiter proceeds to tell us "we out of this, we out of that" great lol. Yall don't even have anything. Then even the waiter mentions how management has been horrible, so there's your proof. We have been sitting here for another 20-30 minutes, haven't even got our DRINKS STILL! I've had enough time to write this review lol! Just sitting here. MIND YOU, it's NOT BUSY! At this point it's 3pm. The ONLY thing I can brag on is the DJ. She was decent. This is my first and LAST time coming here. Yall suck

Absolute worst. Nancy was horrible and don’t even get me started on the bartender (short guy with the white cap). Our only saving grace was Geneva, the other bartender; she was getting those coffee drinks out quickly and hustling; she was doing circles around the other guy. So my boyfriend and I arrived before the rest of our party (we were a party of 4), we went ahead and got seated. Nancy greeted us promptly with water, and aware of our party size. We ordered our drinks; my boyfriend went to their sister restaurant Around the Corner and waited 10 mins to get service at the bar. I’m sitting at the table waiting on my mimosa and it seemed Nancy was unaware I haven’t received my mimosa so I had to remind her. The bartender hadn’t clearly been back there cause my ticket was still sitting on the printer. He proceeds to make my drink and sets it on the pickup counter. Like sir, you’re not doing anything and I’m sitting right there, you could have brought it to me immediately. Instead, he comes over to me and asks if I’ve ordered and I told him about my mimosa only then to proceed to give me my mimosa himself. My boyfriend comes back with his beer finally, and at this point we’re both already over it and the rest of our party didn’t even arrive yet. In that time Nancy asked us twice if we were ready to order, like girl the rest of our party hasn’t even arrived. Once our party arrived everything else continued to go downhill: service for cocktails was taking forever, food took a minute. Be aware that there is an 18% automatic gratuity on all checks, and it clearly reflects in the service we were given; we never saw Nancy present at our table. I understand times are tough and you’re trying to boost employee morale by guaranteeing your staff their money but then the servers have that “idgaf” attitude because they’re getting their money either way. She did not deserve the $30 automatic tip from us. I’m spending my hard earned money, the least you can do is provide attentive service. We were hesitant about ordering more drinks because service took so long. I was absolutely floored when they brought my boyfriend’s Dewar’s in a shot glass. Idc that he asked for a shot, any good bartender knows scotch never goes in a shot glass like he’s taking shots of tequila (I used to be a bartender so I know); if this were a fine dining restaurant and someone served me scotch in a shot glass I would have flipped the table. We managed to get Geneva’s attention and she had it fixed for us (once again waited FOREVER). Nancy seemed clueless throughout the whole experience. She didn’t even split our bill correctly; another person had to Zelle us some money cause Nancy had put his mimosa on ours even though the other person in our party told her how to split it smh. The food was decent but nothing to write home about. Needless to say we will not be returning and will not recommend this place. Get it together and retrain your staff.
