This food was very flavorful. I got the bunker hill I believe it was the chicken and shrimp pan seared it was a little spicy and the Denver roasted which was savory and sweet. Our side was the macaroni. The service was slow our drinks didn't stay full, we had to wait between our appetizer and order our entree. Overall it was good.
If you’re looking for a place for lunch or dinner that is slightly more upscale without going too far in that direction, then a good choice is Jonathan’s the Rub, an American food restaurant with Italian options. This local chain has a few locations in the greater Houston area and this one, on Campbell road right next to Interstate 10, is the one I have visited the most times and each time has been pleasant for multiple reasons.
I usually visit here for lunch because the location is very convenient to my job. The lunch menu consists of sandwiches, burgers, salads, Italian foods, and an assortment of other items that include everything from shrimp to porkchops. Whatever taste you’re craving, there is bound to be a food option to match. The dinner menu is similar, with just a few adjustments.
My favorite lunch item to get at this restaurant is the Rub Burger. It’s a large burger topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, and jonny sauce. It’s well- seasoned and served with a side of fries. It’s a filling lunch that will satisfy your appetite all the way to dinner, and perhaps beyond. The burgers all include eight ounces of meat, so you are almost certain to leave feeling full, and you might even need to ask for a box to take some home.
For dinner, there are many excellent items, like the chicken parmesan, Denver roast, blackened pork tenderloin, and others. They have vegetarian options as well, and a full bar so that you can find just the right drink to pair with your meal. I have had good experience with the service at this Jonathan’s location, too. And if you like dining outside, they offer that option.
Jonathan’s the Rub is a little pricier than other restaurants. But the slightly more upscale vibe, the attentive service, and the portion sizes make it worth the money. I like the open kitchen concept, too, because you can watch the food as it’s prepared. It’s a good restaurant option overall, and one I recommend for lunch or dinner.
Went here for the 1st time and sat at the bar. The service was quick and excellent, with great suggestions. The Triple Smoke Burger was awesome and the Prickly Pear Tequila Sour was just what I needed. Will definitely return.
Stopped by for our first time tonight and Marissa was fantastic! She was fast and the service she gave us was very unmatched!! The food and drinks were beyond amazing! We will definitely be back!
The restaurant has moved from the tiny spot I remember 15 or so years ago. Easy parking… nice bar and restaurant atmosphere. The host and our waiter were extremely friendly and attentive. Food was good. The bacon wrapped scallops were delicious and grandma’s cheesecake was just as I remembered it! Family style sides allow for easy sharing the prime ribeye oscar and filet were good!
Nice place with a good selection of American food.
The Chilean seabass was on point!
the bruschetta was a great starter - freshness
the shrimp was so fresh and tasty
This review is specifically about their thanksgiving take out menu. We ordered their fried turkey and gravy and it was extraordinary. Great flavor, clear instructions to reheat and organized pick up. We hope to continue picking up our turkey from Jonathan's - just don't forget to order it early!

A group of friends and I visited Jonathan’s for brunch; there were six of us total. We loved the convenience of being able to park right in front of the restaurant - not in a garage or having to use valet, and we were welcomed right away upon entering the double glass doors. The decor is upscale, but the atmosphere is relaxed and laid back, which we appreciated. Since we don’t see one another often, my friends and I are sometimes noisy, but we felt comfortable laughing amongst ourselves. Our waiter, Roman, was personable, attentive and knowledgeable. We started with the strawberry and hibiscus mimosas - DELICIOUS! Between the six of us, we tried the bacon-wrapped scallops, the lobster tacos, the gumbo, the redfish, the shrimp and scallops over grits, the pancakes and the chicken fried steak and eggs - AMAZING! The portions are very nice; none of us finished our entrees. We will definitely be back and certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Delicious dishes and great service with Mgr Sam. A wonderful adult like atmosphere for a Saturday at 5pm. Try the wine, Silver Oak, you won’t be disappointed.
