I m giving it three stars for the value, the plates are pricey for what you get and the food was ok. In fact I m being generous, we had to send a plate back (the falafel) and the portion of avocado on the replacement was scant. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Great service, cool vibe and the meat looked good. But the food was inconsistent, at least on this visit.
There are not a lot of gluten free options here, and I was underwhelmed by my meals the two times I've been here.
Nice cafe that's open for breakfast and lunch. Foods good. Chill atmosphere. Service was good. I'd be back to try more of the menu.
Excellent roast beef sandwich. Good potato salad. Really good ice coffee. Had an appetizer composed of figs, charcuterie and maple syrup...damn good. Service is good and friendly, but can be slow when waiting for the check and paying.
Neat, clean place for unique local foods. They have an assortment of teas, meats, and cheeses.
Good Coffee but way overpriced food. $3 for a slice of artisinally toasted bread.
Get the in-house made roast beef sandwich. It's heaven.
Creative menu with something for everyone. I ordered the corned beef hash for breakfast. It was flavorful and filled with chunks of brisket. Coffee service includes both old favorites and funky flavors.
It's great food but it's not cheap as that $ suggests.
Young lady taking our order didn t appear to want to be there. Smallest most expensive coffee I ve ever had - my friend and I both spontaneously laughed when we saw the large cup. We had a nice visit on the patio regardless.
Great breakfast spot. With house cured meats, farm fresh eggs and good coffee.
Soooo awesome! Great selection of food and wonderful service!
Good atmosphere and staff, completely overpriced and tasteless food. Eggs were under cooked and bacon was over cooked to the point of tasting like cardboard.
Great service! Wheelchair accessible bathrooms made it even better!
I was disappointed. Food was bland, extremely over priced for a market. Im not a coffee drinker but I hear they have an amazing coffee bar.
Breakfast there was really good, will have to back for more!
Had the revival burger and it was eh . I prefer fuddruckers more flavor! Potatoes would of been better diced rather than cut in big chunks!
I love this place for coffee and the fact that they sale cured meat is awesome (I love the butcher shop culture aesthetic). The food is always fresh and filling [portion size is on point] and the breakfast for the area cant be beat. Only reason I cant give five stars is the service. I've been there 5 times and have only felt welcomed once. The servers seem a bit apathetic which I guess Is cool if your into snobby hipster culture. But for what its vs what I've experienced i would expect better. Definitely should check it out regardless the interior is gorgeous weathered wood and the outside patio gives you strong houston heights nostalgia of looking out from your own patio on to this green and historic area.
I made a wonderful lentil and spinach soup today using the delicious Italian sausage from Revival Market. For some reason, Google cropped the photo weird and unless you click on the image, you can't see the whole pot of soup.
I recommend the French toast, but if you re not a fan of too much sweet then order the syrup/sauces on the side. The French toast has chocolate chips in it, so having the sauces over it was just too much sugar for me. I also ordered an horchata coffee and I was not a big fan. It tasted a bit bitter and had too much cinnamon. Overall, I rate this restaurant 5 stars because of the atmosphere, the cleanliness and the service. Service was excellent!
Good southern style food and interesting coffee drinks served with style and friendliness. One downside, to us: super-bright coffee. Very pleasant, dog-friendly patio. Lower prices and smaller portions are nice combination.
Max and the rest of the staff here are amazing and so hospitable! I have a handicapped grandmother and they go above and beyond to take care of us every time.
All of that is a bonus to the AMAZING food served here at Revival!
One of my favorite places in Houston. The meat, produce, and dry goods are somewhat pricey, but all high-quality, and almost all locally-produced. The coffee program is great. But my favorite part about Revival is the special Saturday breakfasts. Every Saturday they make a breakfast special that's 100% from scratch and t's pretty uniformly amazing. They announce them on their FB page the day before, my favorites include kolaches, bagels w/smoked salmon, and the pulled pork biscuit.
The Cold Brew Lemonade is AMAZING!! It is for summer time and I hope it will be around year round. Its a great pick me up and super refreshing. It may sound like it wouldn't work, but trust me they made it with the perfect amount of lemonade to compliment the coffee or vice versa. It works. I am craving one right now. Delish!!!
Delicious fresh food made by professional chefs, and their coffee is on point.
What was good about this place:
1) Fresh bread
2) Good sides. Ginger lime slaw was really delicious. Fresh, delicately sliced but still kept a crunch. Heirloom bean salad was lightly dressed & done well
3) Charchuterie plate was a good variety of cured meats & was delicious. Reasonable price $13
4) Very cute market inside that reminded me of Portland. Assorted fresh breads, jams, produce. Bound to find a gift for a foodie friend.
5) Salted caramel pretzel dessert in a cup that was delicious!
Did not enjoy:
1) $8 shrimp & oyster soup- did not taste good at all...
2) $11 for a grilled cheese sandwich that had measly portions of cheese
I came here with a friend for breakfast and the attendant was friendly. The Saturday Chef breakfast was delicious. I had a sea salt bagel with salmon and arugula with freshly squeezed orange juice!
I really enjoyed eating here! Although it was small and crowded, the food was enjoyable and you are able to purchase the fresh meats too! The service was good, the atmosphere was very Heights-like, but parking was difficult to find!! I had the corn beef hash and it was scrumptious! The chamomile tea with honey washed it down nicely, I recommend!
This is a place for AmEx card holders. If you are looking a few twists on food and don't have a budget, this is where to go.
Usually, I say most food is good, sometimes, very good, but oh my goodness! The BLT at Revival Market is soooooo amazing! Its actually super good.
I like Revival, I really do. But know what you are getting into when going here. The food quality is amazing, but it is very speciality-oriented. My mistake was going here one day when I was just craving a diet coke. I can hear the true believers gasping now. But I have been back since and had their sandwiches and coffee, both of which was very good.
Thought my husband and I were popping in for a cup of coffee...
Our server Kevin talked us into what turned out to be a delightful breakfast! Thanks Kevin! We ll be back!
Great Food! The biscuit sandwich is ! The service was exceptional! Great local spot!
Food was very good! Had the breakfast tacos with side of fruit. All wonderful. Place is a bit pricey, but frankly in line with the area. My only critique might be may be offering milk along with cream for the coffee and either equal or splenda instead of just stevia, which has its own specific taste. Staff was very friendly. Atmosphere very comfortable and calm. Cool aesthetic. Will try their weekend menu!
I used to love this place. The last few times the food was mediocre (at best) and the restaurant felt dirty. So disappointing.
Upscale sandwiches . I came for coffee that was excellent with good service. Convenient location with parking and seating inside and out. A strong hipster vibe an expensive menu with an emphasis on meat. Although there are a couple of vegan options
Fantastic sandwiches. I was underhwlemed with my Chai latte and cookie but the lunch was fantastic. Well made and you can tell they use good ingredients. I wish they didn't close so early!
A great place for brunch! In the last year or two it seems like there's a new owner because their menu and service are better. There are always families with small kids, or friends meeting for brunch. The french toast is delicious! It has chocolate chips, cinnamon, and some other things mixed into the batter. The avacado toast is pretty good too! Parking can be kind of a pain, but there is street parking. You can also buy different meats to take home with you like bacon. You can also order coffee to go at the coffee bar. The thunderbolt is pretty tasty! There is some outdoor seating that is dog friendly.
Great experience! We had pretty standard fair (Burger and Chicken Sandwich) Wagyu Burger was just above average i de say but the chicken sandwich was exceptional(w/sweet pepper salsa). The chunk fries were unique crunchy and moist on the inside. The coffee, I de say one of the best roaster is the city supplies coffee here. The house Amaya coffee was top notch. They also sell several different variety s of whole beans at the register. I would definitely like to try other things here.
Houston needs more places like Revival Market, my perfect place would be Revival Market with a bar. The best time to go is for the Saturday breakfast specials they often have, the food and coffee are always top notch. As a bonus as the name would imply it is also a market selling mainly locally sourced products and produce so it is almost like a permanent farmer's market.
I just love coming here. There is a great selection of food and coffee, though I'll usually get the BLT. The service can get overwhelmed at the busy times, but they're always nice.
I recently had their buttermilk banana pancakes. It's a good portion that comes with a cultured whip cream. It wasn't too sweet and had a nice fluffy texture. Ham was a bit salty but complements the pancakes. My table was wobbly and caused my coffee to spill but an employee (forgot his name) took the time to clean the coffee and get under the table and fix it. I always have exceptional service here.
This place is phenomenal for brunch. Seriously good food and great service. Would highly recommend. Try the full Irish, it s amazing. Only downside is this place is always packed (as it should be) so you might have to wait a bit (never longer than ~10 minutes in my experience) for a seat.
It is a very loud atmosphere. Food was basic. The corn chowder was so bland and disgusting. The Cubano they served was not very good. It cost too much for mediocre food.
As someone who has lived in Europe and experienced the decadence of local markets, this is exactly what I would want in Houston. Everything from the food, to the coffee, to the displays is delicate and precise. The staff is well informed about all the products that they have. They can even explain the origin as well. I had no idea that Houston has it's own salt! The coffee. Oh the coffee. I'm even getting excited thinking about the coffee. Plus the milk they use is local. Revival Market is a slice of heaven.
Food wasn't all that great, but the staff are very friendly
Good food, great service, steak salad was a little over cooked and they brought out a proper one medium rare with alacrity.
Just a bad experience! I ordered the soup which came out nearly cold and was very spicy (no mention of that on the menu).
To replace that, I ordered the Quinoa burger and Asian Slaw. There was a general smell of rancid oil coming from the burger but I was hungry and continued eating, but the long dark hair on the plate (which had a big chip on the side) did it for me. I won't be back.
We enjoyed getting some tea/coffee and desert's at revival. And eating on the patio. We were treated like kings. Everything was brought to our table including a glass of ice water, which i thought was thoughtful sense we didn't ask for one but was brought one just in case. The Barista came later and checked to see how we enjoyed everything. Made from scratch and soo delish. I had the oatmeal cream pie, the best ive ever had! My husband the chocolate moose layer cake with cream cheese frosting, he loved the fact that it was light. Give it a try!!
Fantastic place for delicious bites. Every item on the menu is tasty and their meat selection is unrivaled.
They have the best vanilla lattes!! The reason... they use real vanilla bean. Everything I ve eaten here is great too!
My favorite place to eat in all of Houston. Food is phenomenally good, drinks are made perfect, really cool atmosphere, and super helpful and nice staff. Seriously this is my favorite place to eat in the whole entire city of Houston. I ve been to a lot of restaurants here and this is number one for sure. Keep it up!
Good food but overpriced. Better for snacks than meals due to the pricing.
I Revival Market. It's my home away from home, the food is ridiculously amazing and the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. The Pastrami sandwich, the seasonal soups, and the mushroom toast are some of my favs but everything is delicious. Oh and the coffee is perfection. I think I'm addicted but oh well. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home and I'm so thankful that a place like this exists.
The atmosphere is nice with mellow background music (at least when I was there); food quality is high (I had pastrami sandwich with minestrone, both of which were tasty); maple pecan latte hit the spot; prices a bit on the high side, but worth it for quality; staff is nice. Would like to come back!
Love this place but service at coffee bar needs some help! Poor attitude! Food is great. Setup inside is not user friendly especially if it is very busy.
What a neat little meat and cheese market. I love their little grocery store full of local jams, breads, meats and cheese!!! I didn't get to stick around to have lunch but I will be BACK as that Quinoa burger has my name written all over it!
It's a tight and cozy place. They have a small area outside for people to sit and eat and a little dining area inside. This is a great place for a causal lunch or coffee with friends. The front parking lot is small but there is street parking on the side.
My friend wants to make sure I take her back so that she can get an assorted portion of meats and cheeses. Oh and she's a stickler about Blackberry Jam and only eats the jam with seeds! Revival has the seeds, that made her sooo happy.
See you all soon!
Great place, my go to meal is ALWAYS the French toast. I ve also had the breakfast tostados which are also good.
Who would have thought in the heart of the heights neighborhood, you can grab fresh cuts of meat from your very own local butcher or enjoy a nice sandwich during lunch anytime of the week. If you are ever in the neighborhood, it's worth a visit .Sit down, enjoy a wonderfully plated charcuterie and glass of wine.
They've made a lot of changes over the years but the thing that matters most has stayed consistent: the amazing made-in-house charcuterie and local farm meats. Okay, and that breakfast menu (which changes seasonally) is to die for. I wish the breakfast options came with sides and I wish they still had dinner but those are my only two complaints. Come for the omelette and leave with the pate, prosciutto, and banana bread.
Fantastic artisan foods served with old fashioned customer service.
Came there on a bike ride early this Sunday morning. Lady yells at me my mask slipping down. Then it went downhill after that. If we are sitting there inside, why would you give us to go bags for all our meals. I have a theory, service, price and food have to equate and this place did not.
Stopped in for lunch, great atmosphere and interesting selections for food and good service. The potatoes with the hamburger were pretty amazing BTW. I'm going to come back soon to try the breakfast menu and the biscuits described on the menu sound amazing.
Definitely the place to go for good food and excellent service. Even when I made a mistake ordering coffee they gave me suggestions and replaced it - AWESOME!!!
Meh. I am not into the vibe of this restaurant, too hipster. Also they gave me grief over jam. I came for breakfast but this place was bougie over a simple meal.
Poor management. I Would drive from bellaire to get a quart of cold brew once a week. Showed up 40 min before close and would not sell me (2) large cups of coffee ( a quart) because they would sell out. He was very rude about it and to busy to ask if you could help with something else. Will not go back. Very sad. Thanks
My rating is heavily weighted towards the coffee. They really are one of the first places in Houston that took coffee seriously (thanks to David who also runs Blacksmith) back in the day before it was a market , and that s how I still see this place. You used to be able to go up to the coffee bar, get your coffee and a taco and sit down to eat it. Bigger food orders were handled at a different counter. I don t love the newer layout where you have to take a table and get served and now I don t even order food - I just get coffee ever morning on my dog walks. It s extremely consistent. Almost all the indie coffee places can make an okay espresso. Only the excellent places can make good drip coffee on a consistent basis. There are plenty of places that only do it well 50% of the time and so I either don t go back or when I m there I just order espresso (eg Boomtown who sometimes serve what tastes like watered down drip coffee). Here, like Blacksmith, Catalina and Inversion, they get it right. The correct strength, the correct temperature and about the right price. Every single time.
So long as this continues, they ll get the business of our household every morning. Since I m rating it as a coffee joint, I did take off a star for two reasons - they moved to polystyrene cups because they re cheaper. I find this to be irresponsible and even though it says that 90% of it decomposes within 5 years...what about the other 10%? Paper cups are entirely recyclable and decompose entirely within a shorter period. Also, during covid I don t love how busy they were getting and the tables are too close together especially when they weren t requiring guests to keep their masks on.
Five stars for dining in. Do not get coffee to go. Their process for making coffee is archaic at best. You will be waiting for almost 30 minutes for two coffees to go.
The coffee bar here in is nothing short of amazing. Pricy, but amazing. I thought many if the food items in this market were very high end and of high quality. This isn't your everyday kind of store, but it is lovely for finding the right extra ingredient or two.
The customer service is fantastic. Personally, my taste buds do not align with that of Revival Market. If I preferred more fun/exotic tastes, I would definitely enjoy it.
Great menu. The roast beef sandwich is amazing. Also, BYOB! My only complaint is that most of the sandwiches come on challah buns. *taps mic* *clears throat* Cheeseburgers shouldn't come on challah buns
Fast friendly service. Parking can pose a challenge at times. Due to a changing menu the kitchen staff is prone to make errors on deviations made.
Came here for lunch and their garden salad packed plenty of flavor and came with crispy chicken which was lean yet juicy. It tasted fresh and delicious. Been here twice and hasn t disappointed either time. Keep meaning to buy some meat from their butcher to try at home, they have a fantastic fresh range.
Nice local restaurant/market. Great for private events as well!
Looking for organic lard. Found that and more. Expensive, but worth it when you are cooking something special. Great staff!!
Yum! Love the food and experience. Healthy, easy, delicious.
Kick ass menu! It changes often, but I'm never disappointed. Currently into the steak salad, biscuits, and horchata latte. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. We come here often, and bring our dog!
Great breakfast and lunch. Quality shop for special meat. Cortado should be an espresso with only a touch of milk though.
Good hipster food with a Hispanic twist in a rustic atmosphere. A little pricey but totally worth it. I had the Cubano which was fantastic and tried the grilled chicken on a biscuit which did not disappoint. The shrimp po boy left left something to be desired however.
Went there for breakfast Best omelette I ve ever had Great Vibe
Love this place
I don't want to be unfair and give only one star when I didn't even stay to try anything but I can say the place didn't look like any of the pictures I found online... I was looking forward to visiting this place and had the idea there would be some neat things to see while being there... the was no real "market" side of it... its pretty much a coffee shop with some meat in display with extremely high prices... I understand it's an expensive place what I don't understand is why they're called "market"... or why it's changed so much from the pictures I saw online (I'm talking about the inside of it) in the pictures I've seen flowers and different displays with stuff to purchase... in the store I found only a counter with meats, a few desserts and tables like in any coffee shop. I left disappointed.
I frequent many a coffee shop and this space has exceptional coffee. Not only for their variety-- cardamom rose and new Orleans lattes are favorites-- but for the quality. Sneaking it's way into a weekend ritual.
When you think Revival Market you should think of fresh, local, and sustainable food that's made with expertise and love. Everyone who works there is passionate about, not only, the food they serve but the Houston community and making their customers happy.
Revival Market is a really gorgeous place tucked away in the Heights. It's a really cool looking market, with fresh cut flowers and vintage looking jars and such. The flowers are very pretty and, in my opinion, are a good price. They also have Fluff Cake Bar, which makes amazing desserts (especially cookies). Their restaurant menu is a bit small though. I had a croque monsieur sandwich and a a latte. The sandwich was really good, and you can tell the meat was fresh, but I have had better lattes. It came in a paper cup that was a bit hot, I would have liked for a cardboard grip to wrap around the coffee cup because it was a bit hot. It's also crowded during lunch hours but well worth it.
Great spot, highly recommend. Very friendly people.
Oatmeal bowl and yogurt bowl are jokes. $8 for oatmeal and a (ketchup-sized) little cup of sugar and grapes and milk??? Coffee is good tho. Food is fancy but heavy on the salt. Kinda dark inside
The service was great I ordered a Ruben with lime slaw. I was given my order and they apologized for the wait which wasn't that long around 1 pm ...took my order to go opened up the sandwich it was slightly greasy but even worse most of the meat was burnt I guess from being left on the flat top too long. The sauerkrauut on top was nothing special and not enough of it. For an $18 sandwich I doubt I'll be back Jason's Deli's Ruben has never let me down.
i love the agricole hospitality restaurant group. and it's my mission to all their restaurants. i subscribed to their newsletter. revival market was the first one i went to. i sat outside and got a croissandwich and sub'd the bacon with the house sausage. it was deliciously tasty but the sausage was quite salty. can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.
Food was amazing. Service was even better. A must try!
If you are looking for a comfortable place for breakfast or lunch, try the Revival Market. You will be facing Heights Blvd and the side street White Oak. There are quite a few choices for breakfast with varying prices. The chicken salad was delicious with plenty of white meat. A favorite is the latte with the flower decoration. Guy waiters are friendly and check on you to see I all is okay. Nice and comfortable place with outside seating.
We were extremely disappointed to order breakfast, with quite an untrained assistant at the till, then 45 minutes later there was still no breakfast. Nothing was mentioned by staff about the delay, and then we called the manager: she came ten minutes later with some "mimosas" but no breakfast. When we asked, were told there was a 'backlog', and that it was still coming. Despite there looking not too busy, we reached a full hour and still no sign of the 2 breakfasts we ordered. Would definitely put us off going back, as service was pretty shocking, and we ended up leaving without eating anything.
love the atmosphere, always have had amazing service and the biscuits are to die for. I order the local lettuces (I think that's the name) and it's a fantastic salad, good portion size, flavorful and about right price-wise.
The bread pudding is outstanding, however the service was a bit slow.
