Excellent all around. I have never enjoyed a dining experience like Kulture. Every staff member that we interacted with were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They even took the time to help set out phones to scan QR code. Some of us are a little technologically challenged. Looking forward to going back. Ambiance was also off the chain.

The food and the service was great! However, it took about 30 minutes or so for the food to come out and it wasn’t busy at all. I want to go back for the live music but I’m afraid it may take even longer for the food to come out.

We tried everything in the happy hour menu and each bite was delicious, or crispy, or sauced perfectly. We tried to get exceptions for ordering off of the additional menus (they has certain timeframes) because we wanted everything. The service was impeccable. Do not be discouraged if the food takes a bit to be prepared. The temperature will be perfect and you can just focus on having good conversation or drinks while you wait. I LOVED that they mix their cocktails with top shelf, black owned brands. I will be returning.

We had the Crab Ceasar Salad that was large enough for two to dine on, then we ordered the Fried Catfish and grits with a shrimp and crab sauce that was being offered for the first time(not in the menu yet) When I say delicious-OMG!!! seasoned to a T!!! The drinks were definitely on point-I the the Mango Margarita-baby when I say on point-ON POINT!!!! I throughly enjoyed celebrating my birthday by having brunch there and will highly recommend it-I forgot to mention their service and the live music was awesome!

I barely leave reviews but I really wanted to like this place. Ambiance is on point but the food was a little disappointing. My friend and I ordered the shrimp and grits. It was like warm and the sauce was super salty. We ordered a carafe of mimosas and got the bottle of Prosecco and a tiny bit of pineapple juice (we were told they were about to run out - mind you our reservation was at noon) and addition juice would be $4. Well I wouldn’t need to pay $4 if you filled the small carafe up with juice versus putting 1 small can of some juice in the carafe. Music was good. Waiters continuously checked on us. Parking was validated. I will come back for live music but no food.

We didn't like the hamburgers ordered. The bread was too soggy and wet. And that was with the secret sauce on the side. You need bread for your burgers 🍔

🎉 Had an unforgettable birthday at @Kulture_Houston in Houston! 🎂 The service was top-notch—shoutout to the team for being so accommodating when I got caught in Astros game traffic! 🚗💨 The live music was on point, creating an amazing vibe. 🎶 Though the menu was a tad limited, the food was delicious! 🍴 Already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this spot to fellow Houstonians and visitors.

The establishment is very nice, the staff is friendly, and overall our service was good. The most disappointing this about the restaurant is the menu. I honestly don't see the place surviving this the current poor selective of choices the menu has. The happy hour menu sounds more appealing then the main menu. At 7:30pm we order only some appetizers from the happy hour menu. We had the lemon pepper wings and they were decent wings but we couldn't request for all flats so of course we had more drumsticks then anything. The wings wasn't the deal breaker it was the turkey collard green dip. Let me tell you it was the most confusion dish I had in a long time. It was served with pieces of bread (I thought the bread was good) but I couldn't understand WHY was it serve with the dip the was FULL of bread crumbs. The dip was very dry and to be served with bread was mind blowing. The band was starting at 9pm so we wanted to stay for that so we decide to make reservations at a near by restaurant to eat dinner because we were still hunger. We look around at the table behind us and next to us and saw the other table order the same dip and didn't eat theirs either. And the table behind us we trying to order brunch food but wasn't able to because it's only served on Sundays. So basically they didn't approve of the main menu as well. We are so glad we stay for the band because they sounded so good and offered great entertainment. We will come back for drinks and to listen to the live band again on a full stomach.

Many menu items unavailable. Very noisy. Service slow. Staff uninterested in our disappointment and raising the issue of half the menu being unavailable despite it being a limited menu to begin with. Even 3 cocktails were unavailable due to them not have a key ingredient. Wasted our evening.

Would not go back. Menu was very limited and overpriced for what you received. Lunch Turkey club was very sad, worse than any fast food establishment, was advertised with French fries but came with fingerling potatoes that were under cooked. They seemed to be out of everything, including condiments for the sandwich.

Service was great, drinks very good however….. they didn’t have any of the food options that was listed on the menu. My trip was planned months in advance and this was very disappointing. I suggest you call ahead to make sure the menu is up to date and what’s available before visiting.

My experience at Kulture was a little underwhelming. I should’ve known because it was difficult to find their menu online prior to my reservation. We went for Brunch on a Saturday and found out brunch is only available on Sundays. The waiter told us that the most popular dishes are the oxtail shepherd’s pie and the braised airline chicken. I got the airline chicken which was good. 10 mins after my friend ordered the shepherd’s pie they came back and said they didn’t have it and that it would take 30 mins to make. After waiting 30 mins they came back and said that they left the mashed potatoes on the stove too long and asked her to order something else. 3 of my other friends got the wings and said they were not crispy enough before adding the sauce. They only have hot and lemon pepper for flavor options for the wings. The drinks (lemon drop, margarita, mule) were pretty good though.

I enjoyed my night at Kulture, although I would have to be wary of the limited menu options outside of the brunch menu Saturdays and Sundays. I came on a Friday night, so if you’re looking to dine in come prepared to drink and listen to Marium Echo & her band while eating appetizers.

Really enjoyed the Turkey club w/ rosemary fries. Green beans was a no go on the sandwich; just didn’t make sense to me. Quail stuffed boudin was hitting!!! Seasoned down and tender! Salad was probably my favorite of all! That vinaigrette need to be bottled and sold in H‑E‑B! And the bartenders are doing they thang! All over the drinks were amazing!! Other reviewers at the table stated the HH ribs were cold but had a good taste. Interested in this idea of a new chef/menu every 6 months but it’s sad when you have a fav and it’s gone..lol! Overall Kulture is for the culture.

Disappointing. I originally booked for an 11:30am Saturday brunch but then was called & told there was no brunch today so I cancelled my reservation. I came back to open table thinking I could book for dinner later instead and saw they had a 10pm availability. It did say it cost $10 per person to book this reservation so I did. Upon arriving we were sat by the host & told we could order drinks at the bar. We sat confused & scanned the QR code at the table to find a small menu but I didn’t see anyone with food and nobody waiting on us. I asked the host if we were able to order food and was told no the kitchen closed at 9. The reservation didn’t mention anything about this on open table and now we are out $20 and immediately left the place hungry to go to Biggios across the way that had food until midnight thank goodness.

The Review: Brunch was terrific with these beauties!!! Kulture is located in downtown Houston near our Convention Center and Baseball Stadium, so you know it's busy on a Sunday. The great thing about the restaurant is that they validate your parking for up to 2 hours, so you don't have to deal with the high cost of parking. Now for the atmosphere and the food. It was live music Sunday, and we had a great seat in front of the band. The singer Mariam was terrific. We were seated relatively quickly. We had mimosas with 3 flavors which was good. I ordered a classic breakfast with pancakes. The plating was good, the pancakes came out a little cold, and by the time I got syrup, it was over couldn't eat them. The rest of my food was good. I would visit again because I love a live band to take my mind off the wait for food and drinks...

I had a reservation and requested a certain table near the stage. When we got there someone who did not have a reservation had a table while we were asked to sit far in the corner. The kitchen closed and we were not informed there would be no food service so we didn’t get to eat at all. The reservation read like we would receive drinks but that was not the case. $50/person to reserve a table that did not come with food or drinks is excessive and then to have to tell them to give us a table we reserved was disrespectful and bad service. If it had not been for Marium Echo my entire party would have been even more disappointed. I will not be giving anymore money to this establishment.

This was the most horrible experience ever in my life!!!! The menu is limited to only 7 small plates and 4 large plates. The concept of the restaurant should be advertised allowing the customer an opportunity to decide if they like what is being offered. Parking was $30 due to a SIGMA SORORITY AND FRATERNITY CONVENTION…. Happy Hour with a lighter menu more reasonable snack food did not start until 3-5pm The waiter was absolutely amazing and accommodating Drink of choice was strawberry/mango mock tails which was delicious Oxtail Shepherd pie tasted delicious with my hot sauce until I FOUND A SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC IN MY FOOD. To add insult to injury the MANAGER MONA treated me as if I PLACED THE ITEM IN THE FOOD. She was very unprofessional along with the welcome desk attendant who continued to discuss the matter while staring at myself and my guest. VERY RUDE!!!! I ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS BEFORE LEAVING HOW UNPROFESSIONAL THE APPEARANCE AND ACCUSATIONS PRESENTED EMBARRASSED MY INTEGRITY. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND OR CHOOSE TO RETURN. I further explained as a NURSE OF 24 years the damaged that could have been caused had I swallowed this CHARD OF PLASTIC!!!! POOR POOR POOR MANAGEMENT!!’ Please take time to teach your staff with the exception of our WAITER who continues to apologize.
