Island Grill,

5709 Woodway Dr, Houston, TX 77057, United States

"Met with my brother here to pay a little catch up. It was my first time visiting this restaurant. He recommended the Chicken Pita, without hesitation. I'm glad that he did, because I'll be returning in the near future for another one!"

"Island grill is a beautiful restaurant, but the food just doesn't live up to the hype or its pricing. The smoothies are great though! Vibe: The interior and patio area was really nice. Service was great. Parking was tough as there are not a whole lot of spots dedicated to the island grill. Food: If you have never had Mediterranean food before and/or are a picky eater, this could be a good introduction to the cuisine as they have the dishes but with only about 1/4 of the authentic flavor. If you have had legit Mediterranean food, do not come here as you will be sorely disappointed. We tried the gyro platter, reuben sandwhich, and caesar salad. The pita was dry and stale and the gyro was bland. The pastrami was also bland, sauerkraut did not have any real acidic punch, and the thousand island sauce was weak. Fries were good. The caesar salad was basic romaine with caesar dressing - kinda small and nothing special, but cost about $13. We did try a smoothie and it was great! The free soft serve is a nice touch."

"I ordered a Breakfast Salmon Omelet and it was awful. The salmon was over cooked and it smelled and taste fishy. Not happy for a $17 omelet. The breakfast tacos were okay. The salsa was watered down and the tomatoes weren’t probably good. Not the best!"

"I'm glad I decided to give this place a shot. It's casual type of restaurant, very clean especially with COVID and everyone had their masks on. The staff was friendly, explained to me what their most popular menu was, which was nice. I went with the cobb salad with shrimp (added) and tried the grilled chicken pita. Omg, the plating of the salad was beautiful and the food was sooo delicious. It tasted healthy and the portion was large. I really liked everything. The grilled chicken pita was a bit heavy for me but still yummy. I see a lot of people raving about their smoothie/juice, so I will try that next time!"
