Best Family Style Restaurants in Upper Kirby / Shepherd Corridor

I don’t like Bloody Mary’s usually, theirs wa delicious! Loved the burger. Had a great time, wished I would have come across it sooner. Would have gone back over my 3-day conference.

It was such a great dining experience at Late August. The customer service was phenomenal. The manager was amazing. The waiter was amazing. The food was amazing. The drink was amazing. The restaurant itself is so cute and quaint, and I love the playlist. The music was excellent as well. I will be returning. We truly enjoyed ourselves.

This restaurant is on Houston Chronicles top 20 for a reason, best Thai food in town! Be warned, the mild is hot!

Pappas Bros. Steakhouse is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the stage for what would become one of the most memorable nights of our lives. The service was impeccable—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our evening special. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. The steaks were perfectly cooked and rich with flavor. Every dish, from the appetizers to the decadent desserts, showcased top-tier ingredients and masterful preparation. What truly sets Pappas Bros. apart, though, is the experience they create. This was the place where I proposed, and the staff went above and beyond to make the moment unforgettable. Their attention to detail and commitment to excellence made an already special night even more magical. If you’re looking for the perfect place to celebrate a milestone, impress someone special, or simply enjoy an outstanding meal, Pappas Bros. is the place to be. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

It was an excellent experience on our first time here. My girlfriends and I meet weekly at different restaurants throughout Houston and we decided to give The Rustic a try. The host, James, that greeted us as we each arrived was very friendly and welcoming; telling us a bit about the restaurant and the live performances on weekends. The food was exceptional and well priced. The noise level was very good despite the size of the dining room. Parking was what we expect at the Uptown Park location but none of us had any issues as we all arrived at different times. Overall a great experience. We plan to return and bring our guys next time
