I don’t know what I like more about Hillstone restaurants.. formally known as Houston’s. Besides the excellent food that I love ..I l enjoy the people watching and the eavesdropping. while dining at the bar for lunch. By the way, it’s one of the best $21 Tillamook cheeseburgers out there. In fact, I’ve never had a bad meal at any Hillstone Restaurants..and I always try to dine at them If I’m within the ZIP Code.
My boss was also impressed with her fried chicken sandwich. It looked pretty legit! I’ll definitely return now that I know this restaurant is nearby when I visit downtown Houston!

Our lunch at Hillstone was outstanding. The burger and salad my spouse ordered was perfectly cooked and fresh. I had the seared ahi tuna on mixed greens with avocado and mango—light, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The red beans and rice were rich and comforting.
Service was exceptional—attentive and professional without being intrusive. Hillstone continues to impress, making it a top choice for a quality lunch in Houston.

[July 2024 update: still fabulous and wonderful management by Shauna!] We've become regulars at Hillstone for good reasons: interesting food, terrific service and a great atmosphere. One of the nicest things is that even when it's busy, there's never a feeling of being rushed through your meal. You can relax and thoroughly enjoy the experience...and there are some wonderful dishes that deserve your full attention. My personal favorite has emerged as the Pan-Asian Salad with the chopped pork. (This is the same pork as the Knife and Fork Ribs.) I'm not much of a meat eater, but the server recommended this addition, and it was spot-on. It's exactly the right amount of pork to complement the salad without overwhelming it. Are you an artichoke fan? You must try the grilled artichoke appetizer with remoulade sauce. Enough to share with another person! Everything we've tried has been delicious, and I love getting a side dish as an appetizer. The Iron Skillet Baked Beans are among the best I've ever had. You definitely want to make a reservation even for non-peak times because this place is humming, and rightly so with such an enjoyable experience. Kudos all around!

This is a great “Special Occasion” restaurant.
The food is always fantastic and the service (when I have gone) has always been top-notch.
If you like a brownie with ice cream on top for dessert, be warned that there are dried cherries in the brownie. It would have been a good dessert, if not for the dried cherries. I didn’t like to texture that it gave the brownie. On the other hand, the apple dessert is fantastic, as is every other dish that I have tried at Hillstone.
For those of you on a tight budget, this restaurant is quite expensive, so be prepared. Please let me add that even with a tight budget, if you receive great service from the waitstaff, please take good care of them.❤️

Love coming here for date night. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. We enjoy sitting in the bar area and their house made veggie burger is the best in town. Spinach artichoke dip (not pictured) is a must.
