Ritual

Before they closed the Ritual concept and open the Korean BBQ one, I revisited for some of my favorite dishes: -Smoked Short Rib - almost unbelievably fork tender and flavorful; -Pig Mac - a decadent blend of creamy cheddar cheese, crunchy pig ear, smoky/savory pulled pork, and just a little bit of spice; -Chicken Fried Steak - one of the best I’ve had in Htx (a lot better than the chicken fried chicken, which was a bit tough), served with their distinctive horseradish mashed potatoes; and - the Ritual Burger - wagyu + smoked brisket + blue cheese = what’s not to love? not pictured because I inhaled it too fast. Honorable mention: Pork Belly appetizer with potatoes au gratin Ritual - you will be missed! But looking forward to the new concept.

The food and drinks have always been top notch. I'm impressed with how seriously they take the pandemic. Ordering and paying by app cuts out the middle man - no waiting for your server to show up. They have a great wedge salad. The Beef short ribs are SO TENDER and the salmon is tasty, too. The bread pudding is incredible.

Really cool place to drink and dine in! As soon as you enter you have to sanitize your hands, mask on as well as they check your temperature. The tables are far apart and they also have an outdoor seating option. The coolest part is ordering through an app! The servers are still around to help you through but the app does it all. The drinks are really good and so is food. Would definitely be back!

We came here last Friday with a group of friends. The atmosphere and decor is really nice but i gotta say, after being there for about 3 hours, my back was killing me in those high chairs lol My husband and i had 2 drinks, i had the "humu" drink which was great, however i would not recommend having their old fashioned as the glass was only a 1/4 full? moving onto what we ordered, i ordered the chicken fried rib-eye that comes with mashed potatoes and green beans, my husband ordered the 12 oz gearheart ranch strip with the craw-fish risotto and shrimp. This is by far the best steak and chicken fried steak we have EVER EATEN. It all just melted in your mouth, everything had great flavor nothing was lacking. However i wouldn't recommend dessert here either, we ordered the bread pudding and gotta say Goode Company does that one better. Overall tho i would definitely recommend this place for the appetizers and entrees!

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I could give it 5 stars! The service was excellent. My server Leon I know does this from his heart. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave great recommendations. Sherrell was a wonderful host- very pleasant. The ambience was very chill but had a rustic vibe. The menu had great options - extensive drink menu. I had the Gumbo as an appetizer and the Southern Hush Puppies. The Gumbo was a great restaurant gumbo! It came with a boudin ball. My meal was the Butcher’s Breakfast, Khalil ordered Biscuits & Gravy but subed his meat for Smoked brisket. My mom had the Stockyard hash - which came on a small skillet - she had leftovers! I ordered a waffle to complete my meal.... 5 stars across the board on EVERTHING!!! 👏🏾👏🏾 A must for your Saturday and Sunday Brunch!

Wow! I had contacted Ritual via their website ahead of time because I have food allergies. The following morning I received an email letting me know they could accommodate and appreciate the heads up so the chef could be prepared. I responded with a reservation. Once we arrived the waiter was prepared to address our needs. Because it's prepared fresh we were able to order items with slight alterations. As expected some things took a bit longer but I have to say everything we ordered was outstanding! They didn't just feed me, they fed my soul! Hayden, our waiter, was fabulous. He knows the menu and was able to assist us in our choices, including wine. He could have been slightly more attentive to refilling water but he was available often enough that it wasn't an issue. The food was beautiful and was cooked to order. The service was fabulous. I can only image how wonderful the food is without alterations. If you don't have diet restrictions go! Go and enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes that are sure to please. If you do have diet restrictions, let them know ahead and enjoy great food and great hospitality! My apologies to the chef for not remembering to take photos before I sampled.

My first time here and I sat at the bar. The first drink I had was the “bourbon cocktail” and it was pretty good and not overtly sweet. The bartender knew it was my first time so I asked for dinner recommendations. She had several but since I have only one stomach she recommended the chicken fried ribeye. It was tasty but not nearly spicy enough for me so I added hot sauce. The second drink picture is a bourbon old fashion which they serve in a chilled glass but without ice. The bitters over powered the whiskey so I think the balance needs to be worked on. Finally I ordered the death by chocolate cake to go. I shared it with my friends and thoroughly enjoyed it.😋

Parking was a little confusing but the valet guys took care of me immediately. The wait was an hour but we didn't have a reservation so our fault. However the food was quick. The drinks were great and very well priced. Great service from Douglas!! The best is the outdoor seating! Made it a perfect Sunday brunch. Would come back! :)
