Ritual

The food and drinks have always been top notch. I'm impressed with how seriously they take the pandemic. Ordering and paying by app cuts out the middle man - no waiting for your server to show up. They have a great wedge salad. The Beef short ribs are SO TENDER and the salmon is tasty, too. The bread pudding is incredible.

Really cool place to drink and dine in! As soon as you enter you have to sanitize your hands, mask on as well as they check your temperature. The tables are far apart and they also have an outdoor seating option. The coolest part is ordering through an app! The servers are still around to help you through but the app does it all. The drinks are really good and so is food. Would definitely be back!

Great service! You just use an app to order everything you dont even interface with a waiter, love it!!!! The food is great and they have garaffes for brunch which are great. There are also healthy brunch options :

I came to this place with two friends who are big fans of steak. This is essentially a meat based restaurant and I believe it delivers in terms of the quality of the meat dishes that are served. Vegetarian options are limited to the sides that meat eaters enjoy. There is no real attempt to provide a meal that has an adequate combination of carbohydrates, fats and proteins for a vegetarian. The "green plate" description is vague. The experience here is limited by the customer service. Servers walk around but it is mandatory that you order on an app like if you're taking out. The app has options for multiple restaurants so it's possible to order food at a different restaurant or to order take out. What's takes away significantly from the dine in experience is the ability to ask your server questions about the meal or to actually make small adjustments to what you're ordering. We ate here on a Friday afternoon and the sun was pouring in and while the ambiance is lovely, eating a meal with sun directly in your eyes is not an ideal dining experience.

Before they closed the Ritual concept and open the Korean BBQ one, I revisited for some of my favorite dishes: -Smoked Short Rib - almost unbelievably fork tender and flavorful; -Pig Mac - a decadent blend of creamy cheddar cheese, crunchy pig ear, smoky/savory pulled pork, and just a little bit of spice; -Chicken Fried Steak - one of the best I’ve had in Htx a lot better than the chicken fried chicken, which was a bit tough, served with their distinctive horseradish mashed potatoes; and - the Ritual Burger - wagyu + smoked brisket + blue cheese = what’s not to love? not pictured because I inhaled it too fast. Honorable mention: Pork Belly appetizer with potatoes au gratin Ritual - you will be missed! But looking forward to the new concept.

Wow! I had contacted Ritual via their website ahead of time because I have food allergies. The following morning I received an email letting me know they could accommodate and appreciate the heads up so the chef could be prepared. I responded with a reservation. Once we arrived the waiter was prepared to address our needs. Because it's prepared fresh we were able to order items with slight alterations. As expected some things took a bit longer but I have to say everything we ordered was outstanding! They didn't just feed me, they fed my soul! Hayden, our waiter, was fabulous. He knows the menu and was able to assist us in our choices, including wine. He could have been slightly more attentive to refilling water but he was available often enough that it wasn't an issue. The food was beautiful and was cooked to order. The service was fabulous. I can only image how wonderful the food is without alterations. If you don't have diet restrictions go! Go and enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes that are sure to please. If you do have diet restrictions, let them know ahead and enjoy great food and great hospitality! My apologies to the chef for not remembering to take photos before I sampled.

The moment I walked in for Sunday brunch, I knew I would visit again. My car had just been valet parked complimentary, and we were politely welcomed and taken to a table. I liked the decor and layout which gave the place a chill and modern vibe. The pineapple, watermelon and ginger mimosa caught our attention, so we decided to get started with a carafe of that. It turned out to be a good and refreshing choice. Being our first time there, we asked our server for recommendations on the popular orders. With the guidance of his keen insight, we ordered the chicken fried chicken CFC with grits and the Texas S.O.S. breakfast. The chicken was well seasoned and those grits were deliciously cheesy. The Texas S.O.S breakfast was filling and had a good variety of flavorful items. The potatoes, toast, brisket and eggs were all yummy, and the cream sauce was an amazing addition to the meal. I had a great brunch experience that I look forward to repeating.

My first time here and I sat at the bar. The first drink I had was the “bourbon cocktail” and it was pretty good and not overtly sweet. The bartender knew it was my first time so I asked for dinner recommendations. She had several but since I have only one stomach she recommended the chicken fried ribeye. It was tasty but not nearly spicy enough for me so I added hot sauce. The second drink picture is a bourbon old fashion which they serve in a chilled glass but without ice. The bitters over powered the whiskey so I think the balance needs to be worked on. Finally I ordered the death by chocolate cake to go. I shared it with my friends and thoroughly enjoyed it.

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I could give it 5 stars! The service was excellent. My server Leon I know does this from his heart. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. Sherrell was a wonderful host- very pleasant. The ambience was very chill but had a rustic vibe. The menu had great options - extensive drink menu. I had the Gumbo as an appetizer and the Southern Hush Puppies. The Gumbo was a great restaurant gumbo! It came with a boudin ball. My meal was the Butcher’s Breakfast, Khalil ordered Biscuits & Gravy but subed his meat for Smoked brisket. My mom had the Stockyard hash - which came on a small skillet - she had leftovers! I ordered a waffle to complete my meal.... 5 stars across the board on EVERTHING!!! A must for your Saturday and Sunday Brunch!

I have been here few times already. Definitely would order the ritual burger again. The bone marrow roast on top of the burger meat makes this dish so delicious. The crab cakes we order was so tasty. The restaurant didn't hold back on the crab meat and I was not disappointed with what we order. Oh, definitely substitute the fries to the onion rings. The only thing that went wrong with the Ritual burger was that we order it medium rare and it came out well done. But the kitchen made me another one. I would definitely come back again.
