Amazon Grill

MY REVIEW: IT IS OPEN I went to the Amazon grill for breakfast, and i had the best coffee, the best empanadas ever!!!!!! My wife had the omelet which was divine.

My 2 kids had waffles with strawberry and of course they got cotton candy. The only thing i would change is to have the breakfast all week long not only Saturdays and Sundays. I will definitely come back.

P.s: Very helpful & friendly staff.

MY REVIEW: We haven't been there in years but gave it a try today. At lunch time during the week, it was sort of a frenzy of people. Lot's of Greenway Plaza folks there for lunch. It was loud, foot traffic around the complimentary plantains, silverware and the soda fountain was a mess. The good news is that the food was great and portions were ample. I didn't get a burger but I hear great reviews on them.

We'll be back but either at an odd time or on the weekend.

MY REVIEW: After moving back to Houston 3 years ago, we would often pass the Amazon but hadn't tried it yet. We decided we'd stop by today and give it a try. I had the hamburger, it was delicious! Big,juicy, flavorful, with a soft buttery bun. My husband had the salmon dinner, it was also excellent.

The staff was nice and greeted us right away when we stepped up to order. We are glad we stopped by, and we will be back!

MY REVIEW: Love this place, affordable food, good atmosphere. I've had the salad both times, overwhelming amount of seafood in it and avacado, but no complaints, that's the best part of the salad! The mojito's are yummy too.... the bartender does a good job. Also I've had the smore's... good! Unfortunately the flame went out a little too fast.. I'm sure if I asked, they would have relit the flame.

MY REVIEW: The salad bar is gone from Kirby too. What a disapointment. On the way there I was telling everyone in the car, "We're going to get there right at noon. This place is going to be packed." When we got there, it could have been 3 in the afternoon. The restaurant was probably at 20% capacity. The food was still the same high quality, and I can't imagine it was all due to the lost salad bar, but I'm sure some people aren't happy with the change. I will be going less often. Too bad!

MY REVIEW: I have been going to Amazon in Woodlake Sq. a lot this year, and have turned new people on to visiting as the food is pretty good,but I always raved about the salad bar. I liked taking my family as the kids like the popcorn chicken (with popcorn under the chicken) and s'mores. But I went for lunch today and was shocked to learn THERE IS NO MORE SALAD BAR!!! Whose brilliant idea was this? Now they charge a buck for a small side salad. There were several patrons confused about this, and all comment cards were gone (not surprisingly). This will probably take Amazon out of my lunch rotation as I am not happy about this. I am doing this post as a warning to those regular patrons who haven't been there in a week or so.

MY REVIEW: Food was good but I don't understand the point of waiting in line to order and then standing in another line to get your drink. If you want to reorder a drink you must wait in line again. Not well organized. I guess West U parents let their kids run loose here. Kids runnin' everywhere unbehaved and VERY noisy both times I was there.

MY REVIEW: This is a great place for Happy Hour or after work wind down, you have to order at the counter first then look for your table, BUT other than those two down falls the food rocks... the ceviche is the best I've tried in Houston, they have an appetizer bar with corn tortilla chips and banana chips with the best cilantro sauce or mango sauce YUMMMM the best....I definately recommend this place

MY REVIEW: the tortilla soup was very spicy and i loved it, ( too spicy for my wife) the spinach/artichoke.... empanadas were exceptional along with all the available dipping sauces. the enchiladas were "over the top good". the only part of our meal lacking much flavor was the fajitas on my mixed grill plate (all the other grilled stuff was excellent). above average dining experience with an excellent waitstaff! this is the first time we've sampled latin/south american cuisine, won't be our last.

MY REVIEW: This was my first time eating South American cuisine and the experience was O.K. I can't remember the name of the dish I had, but it was a spicy tilapia dish with coconut sauce. It was tasty, however the portion size was small. I expected a different atmosphere, however it was O.K. One waits in line, selects their food, and then you select where you want to sit and eat. Overall, I expected better, but the total experience was just O.K. I would probably eat here again if I was looking for a very casual dining place to go to.

MY REVIEW: I just thing its simply one of the best restaurants I have been to. If you go you will without a doubt return. The food is something different for a change. My favorite is the Amazon(corn crusted chicken with cream sauce), I have recommended several people to Amazon Grill and they just have to keep going back. Their cilantro sauce is so good they even have it bottled up for sale. My son loves the tray with the smores over a little fire. The pico de gallo is out of this world, its one of my favorite things from there but I could go on and on, service is great as well. Just go check it out you wont be dissappointed.

MY REVIEW: This was our first visit. I had the chicken Peru, my wife had the shrimp and fish. We both enjoyed our meal. Both the quality and quantity was excellent. We each had a chicken/artichoke/spinach empanada that was out of this world. Service was very good as well. We will be back.

MY REVIEW: I've eaten at this restaurant at least six times, and I have only one complaint (at the end of the review). I just read a review about tough shrimp, and in my experiences as a cook, no matter what you do to shrimp, they don't get tough, but I guess he's an "amateur" food critic who knows best. I LOVE the way the chicken is cooked, it's so juicy you can eat it with just a fork, yet cooked through so there are no worries about undercooked food. The sauces on the food are wonderful, and the salad dressings are amazing. I like the quick service of walking up to the register, and on busy nights, they will seat you and you pay the waiter for added comfort. The only complaints I have are the alcoholic beverages. The margaritas are WAY too sweet and sour, and every other drink I've had are very so so. But, the food is so good, WHO CARES??
