    Must try: Black Bean burger, fries, schwisha salad, fried green beans, ribs, tandoori chicken, Lucy burger, kale caesar, cheese and olive plate, deviled eggs on a 45 and pretty much any special OTday

    New ownership means excellent service and new menu. Great Sunday brunch options. I loved biscuits with homemade apple butter. Valet parking kind of stinks but street parking is possible.

    This place used to be Sophia's which I really liked a lot. Lowbrow is a cool hipster kind of bar/restaurant. They have extended the patio which is nice. The Juicy Lucy hamburger I really liked.

    Great local beers and the food was delicious!!! I got the juicy Lucy, crispy green beans, and the bf got the brisket sandwich. WE WERE HAPPILY STUFFED!! Also, music selection was awesome.

    Beer! Crispy beans and hummus was delicious! Juicy Lucy was great! Dark and sexy vibe. Parking is difficult. But it is worth it! We will be back!

    I like this place but the bar service is slow, and they struggled with cocktails. Opt for beer or vodka and soda type orders -- green beans are yummy, and the burger is too.

    The Juicy Lucy is my fav burga in Houston. I prefer it with cheddar, but that's because of my low, Midwestern values. 🍔

    Great brunch place. Awesome chicken fried steak -huge portion. Chicken waffle wings were excellent. Get the $14 carafe mimosa :-)

    The bar is where it's at. Ice cold local draft on tap, plus you get to hang out w/ Ronald Reagan.

    Everything is great. The flatiron steak salad! I always like the mimosa carafe if it's not warm.

    Crispy green beans with miso dippin' sauce are a must. Good selection of local brews, and strong wells.

    The chicken fried black bean burger is delicious. As are the curry fries (not spicy though). Service is usually pretty slow.

    The hole in egg grilled cheese is delicious. The center is cut out and filled with a runny egg.

    The vibe here has changed a lot since it opened- for the better. Nice patio. The juicy Lucy burger, however, does not live up to its reputation. I've had better burgers elsewhere.

    The food is great - the chicken fried steak is big enough to share. It gets very loud inside though.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the place...but it takes 2hrs from ordering food to getting your CC back after paying the check. On a slow night during off hours.

    Bike rack and some dedicated parking. Mind the street parking signs so you don't get towed.

    They tend to run out of a lot of things at the bar.... Out if all whiskeys once and out if all dark rums this time...

    Chill place, nice bar fair, beer is reasonably priced, food price is pretty high. But not as much as The Refinery!

    I've decided not to return to this place. First time was fine with others. Twice dining alone I had to stop someone after 10 mins for service. I watched them bypass me to serve others. No more chances
