I give Grand Lux 5 stars because I don’t want to mess with their rating. However, it has been 8 years since I went here. Every experience in my past was awesome. It’s always my go to, when having a meaningful day with loved ones in the Galleria area. This past Thursday kind of bummed me out though. They sat me and my S.O. in the bar section without asking if we minded being in that section. It was really loud, and we had less attentive service. The waitress was on point, but there is a different level of customer care in the main dining area. Wish they would have asked before seating us. Not a fan of the loud bar area.
My sister and brother in law came in from out of town on sunday and were leaving on monday. But before they left we had to stop at Grand Lux for lunch. Love this place. Love the brunch, lunch and dinner. Yes a little pricey but worth it since the food portion is enough for two. So i give it a two thumbs up.
cultural diversity at its best
Our 2 experiences at this fine establishment in Houston felt as though we were in a melting pot of world culture. There was a diverse mix of folks, all enjoying the fine food and atmosphere along with superb service. The food we had for lunch was top notch and we enjoyed a light, friendly banter with our waitress on each visit. We were treated professionally, but friendly too. Very nice happening on our trip to Houston.
Great place in River Oaks, Houston. We tried - Wedge salad and orzo shrimps

We were visiting our Nephew his wife and their new born baby in Humble, Texas. We went out to diner with them at Grand Lux Cafe. It was an amazing experience. The menu had many choices that you don't find in most restaurants (like Beef Wellington) but the prices were very reasonable.The restaurant looking very fancy so the reasonables were a welcome surprise. The food was excellent.
I loved grand lux cafe for their generosity and cleanness. We ordered appetizers and main platters and we couldn’t finish half of the main courses. I recommend to try the sandwich with brie and turkey, also the crispy caramel chicken which is amazingly good. Service is excellent (I dropped some food on my clothes and the waitress helped me a lot) however, the place lacks ambiance.
Saumon à trois... salmon three ways is definitely an order again dish. Atmosphere is good with great service. The warm earthy bread and butter is a plus.
Wow! Guy was absolutely right on with this one. Love the atmosphere. The service is good and so is the food. Very chill. Excellent food, quick service, relaxing. Fish and chips were executed perfectly.
I have only been here a couple of times but the food has been great.
Parking has been hit or miss.
Great place for drinks and the place itself has been clean.
Staff has been attentive and friendly.
Good place for a date night.
I live for a food holiday because I am GREAT at celebrating those! This Saturday (March 25th) happens to be International Waffle Day and as you can imagine a brunch connoisseur like myself is excited. In preparation for Saturday’s “holiday”, Grand Lux invited me out to try their chicken and waffle dish assuring me that it rivaled the best in the city. Check out my review below!
Grand Lux is a nice restaurant ... kind of a Cheesecake Factory meets ancient Egypt thing going on. The menu is large and reasonably priced. The location across from the Galleria makes getting there difficult before the holidays.
First arrived and menu is overwhelming but I found exactly what I was looking for - a small appetizer and a big salad. Plenty of salad choices which tasted great but the must have it were the Asian short rib tacos. Amazing!
I came here with coworkers during lunch hour, and it did not disappoint at all. Food came out pretty fast and was spot on. It looks very elegant on the inside and has a great ambiance. I wish I had more space to try dessert. Extensive menu to cater to all walks of life for sure. Perfect for all occasions, and I can rarely say that for all restaurants.
I had the Grilled Chicken with lemon sauce and subbed the pasta for rice. It was creamy and wonderfully cooked while healthy too! For finger food lovers -Chicken Tender meal was presented nicely, and you just want to just stare at it.
Atmosphere was really nice. Warm relaxing colors for comfortable eating experience. The food wasn't as GREAT as I was expecting considering price and location, but it wasn't bad at all. It was very tasteful and was very warm when I received it. Others at my table couldn't say the same, reporting some of their dishes were under seasoned, having it replaced. They also were out of a lot of things we tried to order. (understandable because of global supply shortages)
I almost slipped when I walked into the men's room. Something to look out for. They either don't have enough cleaning staff or don't clean of often because the entire restroom floor was wet with urine residue and water splashes from the people walking over to grab paper towels.
Expected a little more overall but would still definitely come again for the drinks.
This place looks awesome and has the decor of Las Vegas. So the venue and atmosphere gets a five star for sure. But the food came a bit short. They have a great selection and a great variety. But the quality was not very consistent. Their week known Cafe Beef Wellington was excellent, but some of the other dishes were average. The drinks were not very impressive and did not have a good presentation. But it was also very affordable. So you do pay for what you get. Overall I do recommend this restaurant.
Got the pork chop and the Buffalo chicken rolls. Food was pretty good but not amazing. Service and vibe was fine. Good variety of choices and price wasn't too crazy. $20-30 for most plates, with steaks going up to $50+. It's good overall.
Preston, our server, was amazing. He recognized us immediately and was extremely accommodating. Our meal itself was stellar, and there were a lot of choices. The only complaint I do have is that my water glass was dirty (as in, when you picked up the cup, you could feel the rough texture of leftover, dried grease on the outside of it). We had a little mishap while paying, but the servers did their best to adjust to our needs. The portion sizes are huge for the price you pay. We ordered a molten chocolate cake to go (be sure to order it earlier if you do choose to eat it, as it takes 15-20 minutes to be prepared), and they gave us a separate box with a huge scoop of ice cream so that we could put it in top of the warm cake whenever we got home. It was a really nice touch. Typically, you will see restaurants not give any ice cream at all, or, if they do provide ice cream, most restaurants will lump it together with the main dessert, leading to a soggy soupy mess.
Had a wonderful time dining here. The service is top notch, the atmosphere is great, and the food! Oh the food! I had the Buffalo chicken bites and the chicken and mushroom brown butter pasta. Both were great! Everyone around me were enjoying their dishes too. Highly recommend!
Always a good experience. Sometimes there can be a wait but this last time I went there was none. Food was delicious as always. The burgers here are delicious. Tons of options for every palette. If you like tropical alcoholic drinks, try the Calypso mojito. It's delicious.
I came here for a quick dinner salad. The food was good, service is professional and courteous, just a little slow. Overall, a great place. I’ll come here again.
This is the second location that I'm visiting. I've been to one of the Grand luxe cafes in New York, so I came in knowing what to expect.
Pros:
1. Great ambience. Can't argue with that.
2. Food is good. Loved the flavors of everything we ordered.
3. Service was top notch. Our server was very considerate, attentive, and very respectful of our several customizations. Accommodated us very well.
4. Plenty of parking nearby.
Cons:
1. It was a busy evening so service was slightly delayed at times. Not that it bothered me but definitely something that can be improved.
Went there during lunch and really enjoyed it. Although we went for 12pm there wasn't a lunch crowd which was good. The food was delicious and we didn't have to wait long. Server was great.
