    The Garden Sammie and vegan Quinoa burger are excellent! The sides are very fresh and flavorful. Have been here many times and have never had a bad experience.

    The crab and shrimp sandwich is brilliant. It's so fresh and delish. I can't eat enough. Try the mintaid (lemonade) and the beets for a side order. Amazingly great food. And the staff is super nice

    ‘Halfway obsessed’ is a great description for how Houstonians feel about Local Foods. Great for Vegetarians and Omnivores alike! The Asian Chicken salad and Shrimp Tacos are my faves.

    If you want fresh and local foods this is the perfect restaurant. Don't forget to try the rotisserie chicken and lamb off their new dinner menu. You definitely wont be disappointed! Read more

    Nice patio that's good for groups. Main courses (fish, roast chicken, pork loin) are a nice addition to the classic menu from Rice Village. The vegan mashed potatoes are surprisingly good!

    We hade salmon sandwich and crunchy chicken sanwich, beets and kale salads as sides, all were good. Sandwiches taste a bit sweet but we liked that too. Healthy outside food!

    Great vibe and crazy great egg salad. Quinoa salad is delightful. Can't wait for the patio to open - will be a great hang-out spot!

    The roast beef sandwich and chicken soup of the day were excellent. Fantastic ingredient quality, but the side dishes are healthy and not very yummy.

    Their salmon and cream cheese sandwich is scrumptious! Their beet salad and kale salad are also yummy! Enjoy.

    This place looks great, but only serves soup, salad and sandwiches (plus a few dessert items). We were looking for something more substantial.

    Check out the bar area in the back. Easy to miss, but a nice setting for hanging out. Good values and well-stocked.

    Order from the bar if the line is long. They can take your order and get you on your way. And they are so friendly!

    Great "hipster" food joint. Sit outside or in. Not traditional menu items. The egg salad sandwich is good.
