Kulture

We came to try Kulture and honestly… we were skeptical at first. A few helpful notes: parking is paid in the garage, but the first two hours are free. Also, one of the restaurant entrances is directly off the elevator inside the garage, so you don’t have to go outside to get in.. which is a plus. When we arrived, there was only two other parties in the restaurant, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We sat down and the bartender, Devon, came over and took our drink order. About five minutes later, a waiter came and asked if we wanted drinks. We let him know Devon had already taken our order. He looked shocked and confused, but moved along. Devon later came back and took our appetizer order. About 15 minutes after that, the same waiter returned to ask for our entrée order. He confirmed our appetizers, and since we assumed they’d be arriving soon, we went ahead and ordered our entrées. Well… plot twist. Our entrées were placed in front of us, and we never received the appetizers. I let them know we hadn’t gotten them and asked to cancel the order. Now here’s the part that matters: they admitted the mistake and ended up giving us the appetizers free of charge, which we genuinely appreciated. Before all of that, we did receive biscuits... not sure if they were complimentary or what. I’m not going to lie, they looked a little dry at first glance. But when I tell you those biscuits were fluffy and freaking delicious? Baby. I don’t know what is in that butter, but it needs to be studied. And the food? Delicious. No complaints there. The French 75 (made with Hendrick’s Floral gin by Devon) was elevated and beautifully balanced. The music was great, the vibe was nice, and once everything settled, it turned into a solid experience. Overall, despite the mix-up, it’s a nice place to get great food and listen to good music. Just maybe double-check your order.

We’ve heard good things about this restaurant and decided to make a reservation and give it a shot. It was a bit disappointing. We came in with the impression that this is more of a fine dining kind of experience, but the experience is just ok. The pictures look better than the real thing. We ordered oxtail and fried chicken, and had complimentary biscuits. The biscuits and oxtail are really good, but I’m not sure if the oxtail is $40 kind of good. The fried chicken is ok, a bit oily though. When we sat down, we started smelling a strong scent of cleaning products. It’s good to know that they clean, but it’s not very pleasant to keep smelling cleaning products when we’re supposed be enjoying dinner in a nice restaurant. Then we noticed the 20% mandatory gratuity for every check. The service is at most average, in our opinion. Probably won’t come back again.

Tried Kulture for brunch with my husband and baby… I’m still smiling about the whole experience. We had 11:45am reservations and walked into a calm, not overcrowded vibe… which I loved. No chaos, no noise overload… just the perfect setting to actually enjoy the moment, take pics, shoot a few videos, and soak everything in. Now let’s talk about Christina… because whew. She was working dual roles… bartending and serving… and did both flawlessly. Super personable, warm, and genuinely engaging. The kind of energy that makes you feel like you’re more than just another table. What really stood out was her sharing her personal growth and perspective… hearing how her mentor helped shift her mindset was refreshing and honestly inspiring. That type of interaction stays with you. Big appreciation to both Christina and whoever poured into her like that… it shows. And listen… the food. CHEF’S. KISS. Every bite was giving flavor, intention, and soul. You know a place is serious when you don’t even want to talk while eating. Straight finger-clappin’ satisfaction all the way back to sunny Florida. Huge shoutout as well to the two gentlemen who helped my husband… top-tier hospitality. Friendly, attentive, and clearly customer-service driven. One of them literally walked to the corner of the restaurant to help him locate the parking garage. Who does that anymore? That level of care is rare and absolutely deserves recognition. Kulture delivered on food, atmosphere, and service… the full trifecta. Do yourself a favor… check them out and support. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.

Went to brunch with my girlfriend, her friends and their kids. The complimentary biscuits with butter and jelly are really good! Our orders did take a minute to come once they were placed which was a downside to the experience. As far as my food the waffle was good, I would give it a 7.5 out of 10. The fries were seasoned with salt and pepper they were decent, and the mashed potatoes were decent as well. The waiter seemed overwhelmed as he forgot a couple of things that people in the group had ordered. Also, did not know it closes at 3pm and we were there until 4pm. Regardless, the energy from the waiter should have never been what was shown/given to us especially with spending over $100. Based on the waiter may or may not be back because then food is not extravagant to the point I would overlook the subpar service that was provided.

We are in Houston for the New Year's and decided to give this place a chance. The customer service was absolutely amazing from when we 1st walked in until we left. Our server was very attentive and helpful. Coming from Detroit it's hard to find a good Black owned business that offers great food and great customer service so I appreciate finding this place. When we visit again, we will definitely stop by for a bite to eat.
