Jonathan's The Rub 12505 Memorial Drive, Houston, TX 77024

"Heard about this great family-owned restaurant from a lot of our friends so when we finally got the chance to visit this Sunday morning, we were thrilled to experience all that is special about this restaurant! The location has plenty of love the moment we walked in from the warm greeting from the hostess, the wonderful decor and the waitress named Rey, who had a lovely personality and was first-class with your service. We started off with drinks and an amazing appetizer (bruschetta caprese) and our two entrees (shrimp & grits / breakfast club) were absolutely delicious. Our meal was concluded with a visit from a manager named Brandon who made us feel that our business was valued and even spent a few extra minutes talking motorbikes with us when he noticed my tee shirt with a Triumph logo on it. Here’s another thing we noticed and wanted to share, even their cleaning crew and the staff dressed in black were top notch and showed the respect & kindness (in between cleaning the tables) that was a big deal to my wife & I because it reflects on the way the restaurant family treats their team so they go the extra mile to show the patrons the first-class service that we all should expect and receive. Keep up the great work, Jonathan’s The Rub, you have earned two new loyal customers. Check them out and tell ‘em David & Amy sent you."

"Wonderful place to meet up with a friend. We went to happy hour and I had lemon drop martinis and we also ordered a bottle of excellent wine. Had a shrimp appetizer, the chicken and sausage gumbo cup and slice of coconut pie . Our waiter was very attentive and personable /funny. Vibe and atmosphere was also wonderful. We had a relaxing and fun time. Very tasty and yummy food. Also felt very safe in accessible parking"

"I was there on Wednesday afternoon with a girlfriend and again on Sunday with my husband and our friends. This upscale restaurant has a beautiful interior and great ambience. Outdoor seatings are available and has a more relaxed and casual feel. Great selection of food and generous food potion sizes. They also have brunch menu which available throughout the week. I vouch for their Chicken masala pappardelle. Fantastic! In fact all their foods are delicious. The crab cakes were moist with big chunks of crab meat. The steak cooked to perfection. I wish I had more room for a dessert. I’ll try next time. Service was efficient. Staff were all friendly and attentive."

"The highlights: phenomenal service, beautiful decor and delicious food. I attended a birthday dinner for a dear friend of mine. We shared a couple appetizers, lobster tacos and crab cakes, then enjoyed some wine and wonderful conversation with the other friends. We had a group of 7. Everyone's food looked delicious! Our waiter was terrific; very attentive and friendly. My wine glass was never empty. I would classify this place as upscaled, yet casual and comfortable. I do not like stuffy restaurants, but I do like a classy cozy environments to dine and relax. This place hits all the right points. They have a nice bar at the front perfect for happy hour after work. The restrooms were exceptionally clean. I will definitely be back for another enjoyable evening."
