Superb breakfast Prime Rib Bagel. The caramelized onions took it over the top. Every single bite was bliss! Be sure to say hello to Ed, Jodie & Dorothy when you visit! RECOMMENDED!

We have not had a bad dish from appetizer to dessert. From the brunch to the dinner, everything has been amazing. If you're there, make sure to enquire about off menu items. Small town vibe with big city flavors.

We just had an amazing 1st time experience at Ed’s Bistro. Let me say, this is what this area is missing! We came in for a 1:1 experience and truly enjoyed every minute of it. The food captured complex flavors along an elegant wine tasting. Ed took time to get to know us and truly make the experience personalized. Since moving to Seabrook, I have missed the Houston dining scene so I am so excited to be able to enjoy Ed’s without going into Houston. Every dish was flavorful and delicious . Thank you Ed (owner) and Tony (chef) for making our date night special.

Ed's is one of my favorite restaurants in the Houston area. All dishes are good, but pay attention to the specials. They're fantastic! It's a small place with a small kitchen so service is not speedy, but it's done right. The cocktails are on point and the wine list is impressive, with very fair prices. You can even buy bottles to go at a discounted price.

My colleagues and I were in La Porte, TX for work. We searched google for a local restaurant for a nice dinner and there were slim pickings. The reviews for Ed’s were pretty good so we decided to give it a try. SO glad we did! Our appetizers, main course and desserts are really delicious! Our server was very kind and Ed, the owner, even stopped by our table to prepare our dessert! As someone who is from Chicago, living in Dallas, I can vouch that the food at Ed’s is pretty comparable to restaurants in major cities. If I’m ever back in town for work I know exactly where to go for dinner!

This was our first time visiting Ed's Bistro, and it was a great choice. We were warmly greeted at the door and received excellent service. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller and crab cakes both were delicious. For our main course, we had the Chinois Chicken and the Philly cheesesteak with fries. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. We’ll definitely be back!" Dorothy was a great host. She prepared our cocktails and gave us great customer service!

We tried Ed’s Bistro for Easter Brunch. The food was absolutely amazing. The Prime Black Angus Benedict was delicious. My husband had the Biscuits and Sausage Gravy with Cheddar Grits that was awesome. Ed was so nice visiting our table and making us feel welcome. Can’t wait to go back and try more of his food. The best gumbo I’ve ever had!

A Hidden Gem in La Porte! I stumbled upon Ed’s Bistro, and what a surprise it turned out to be! This hidden little gem in La Porte delivers upscale, five-star food with exceptional service to match. I ordered the wild game burger and truffle fries, absolutely packed with flavor. Every bite was a perfect blend of richness and creativity. The atmosphere was inviting, the staff attentive, and the quality of the food far exceeded expectations. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and delicious dining experience!

Great food at such a cute diner! 🤩 Tried this place while on vacation and we are so happy we stopped in. 😁 The food is extraordinary! 🍴The fried green tomatoes 🍅 were tasty, the shrimp 🍤 and grits were full of flavor, the crab 🦀 cake with garlic aoli was delicious, and the shrimp 🍤 roll was scrumptious! 😋

Super delicious food! Fresh, quick and very tasty. Owner is super personable and nice, Dorothy our waitress was amazing and hilarious. Highly recommend! Definitely going to be a regular spot

My husband and I love Ed's. It IS, hands down, our favorite place in La Porte. From the atmosphere, service, environment, quality/portions of food.....PERFECT 10 ❤️ The owners are very down to earth, caring & loving people, who not only love their community but the people in it!

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was top notch and the atmosphere was great. The owner, Ed, visited our table several times to visit with us. He personally prepared the bourbon flight that we ordered. We will definitely return with friends and family.

Hands down, this is one of the best restaurants in LaPorte! I come here for both professional meetings and personal time, and every single visit is top-notch. The service is unmatched the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome every time you walk through the door. Dorothy, my favorite bartender, deserves a special shout-out. She's not only an incredible bartender but also someone who truly takes care of guests. I once requested a drink I love from another restaurant, and Dorothy didn't just replicate it she made it even better and added her own touch, which my friends and I absolutely loved. The owners, Ed and Jodie, are also a huge part of what makes this place special. They're always present, checking in to ensure everyone is having the best experience possible. You can really tell how much they care about both their customers and the community of LaPorte they support the city in so many ways. Whether you're looking for a great meal, an amazing drink, or just a warm and welcoming atmosphere, this restaurant is it. Highly recommend!

This place was nothing short of amazing. The previous reviews did not disappoint. The food and drinks were amazing. The ambiance was amazing. Dorothy was welcoming, pleasant, and knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions. This is a hidden gem in La Porte.

We discovered this GEM at Taste of the Town 2025 with these amazing bacon wrapped dates and finally made it in for brunch today. The design/decorks chic without being pretentious, a major plus for me. We sat at the bar and had conversations with the staff and Ed's better half. Guys, my chorizo omelet hit the spot, my biscuits and gravy were dense and soft, packed with flavor. Bourbon and Tequila aficionados - they have Blantons Gold, Eagle Rare 12, even 1942. I will return soon for the Wild Game burger.

The other half surprised me with brunch for our anniversary after a work event in the area. This is a hidden gem in LaPorte. With lots of quaint shops and To Do's in the area. The ambience is relaxing and inviting with indoor and outdoor seating. The food was great. You could see and taste the intention to quality in the ingredients and presentation. They had a great selection in drinks from Bellini flights to mimosas and an array of adult beverages. The bathroom was cool and clean, playlist took me down memory lane. The icing on the cake was the service. Friendly, helpful and professional - all while most importantly "matching vibe". Not sure this skill can be taught. The waitstaff is top tier, greeting and bantering w/regulars and making new guests feel like regulars. All in all it was a great experience! Would definitely recommend it and would make the trip back.

Valentine’s Day dinner was outstanding. The staff is incredible! Fantastic white table cloth environment yet down to earth. Any dress is fine! Food is incredible! Can’t say enough about this local gem 💎

Fried bass (special of the day) was light, tender and fresh-tasting. Its accompaniments (gnocchi w/ cherry tomatoes and veggie medley of squash / asparagus) made for a satisfying and filling dinner without being too much. Looking forward to returning for dessert—especially the strawberry shortcake soaked in moscato. I hear their brunch is equally outstanding. Yay for creative, local restaurants!

Really loved my experience at Ed's Bistro! I went for a private event. The food and service was top notch. Everything was delicious. I will be returning with my husband for a date night soon.

My daughter met me here for lunch yesterday. Food was wonderful, service was great! The owner Ed came around and introduced himself and asked how we were, brought us a complimentary shot of eggnog! Very cozy atmosphere, I'll definitely be back!

Superb Sunday brunch. Our meal was excellent and the table service was fantastic. The owner graciously took time to explain their monthly wine tasting event and other "off-the-menu" specialties. More than just a restaurant, Ed's Bistro is a small community unto itself and the best dining experience we've found locally. Highest recommendation.

Sadly, no photos from our lunch but it's a very cute atmosphere. The staff was super friendly, but sadly hubby never received the drink he ordered. We began with a take on poutine, melted mozzarella rather than curds-pretty yummy & we appreciated the crisp-ness of the fries under the gravy & cheese. Is it possible to have a tad too much cheese, yes I think it is??? Hubby had a cubano with onion rings, it was decent (not scratch rings, but they were good) and he enjoyed it. I tried the ceasar salad with grilled chicken, I appreciate the fresh lettuce but not the 8 or so fibrous bases I received. The grilled chicken was very over done and there was way too much grated parmesan cheese. We spent $55 plus tip (there was an extra fee to pay with a card rather than cash) and for that I'd have expected fresh shaved cheese, homemade croutons, juicy fresh grilled chicken and house made onion rings. If I'm in the area again I'd give it another try, but I'd stick with a sandwich. Staff was friendly (always kept our water filled) and the atmosphere is great.

Went there just for the Ruben sandwich for the first time, a friend of mine recommended this place.I had it! I was in love....it was so sweet and moist seasoned very well ... A very difficult combination for those type of flavors on a RUBEN I loved it.....but i came back just for the Ruben but the flavors are different it's bitter and somewhat sour, it's the inconsistency for me i will not be back plus the owner is always drunk and pissed off. Not a family friendly place at all you never know what your gonna get.
