Chapman Kirby - Houston

Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and we were seated outside initially. The vibes were nice but the FLIES (the large ones) were terrible. We were swatting from the time we sat down until we got up to go inside (2+ hours). It really put a damper on the outing as we couldn’t enjoy our food or drinks. On the flip side, the music is decent and drinks are good. The blackened shrimp salad was good (the small bites I was able to eat) but we literally had to put our food in to-go boxes to keep the flies out…. they were EVERYWHERE.

Wonderful atmosphere. We went for brunch and there wasn’t any wait. Great prices. Servings of shrimp and grits are small so we ordered two entrees. Will definitely be back

My favorite spot in Houston. We went on a Sunday afternoon, which I’ve heard is the best day to party in Houston. The DJ was solid, the space is inviting, you can go from outside to inside and there’s still people everywhere dancing. I’ve noticed in Houston, there’s not so much intermingling, people mostly stay with the crowd that they came with but here I thought it was at least a little different where you’re able to meet people which is always what I’m looking to do when traveling. Good service, highly recommend. Can’t comment on the food, but I think it’s mostly chicken and wings from what I saw on others table.

Catfish and Grits! Excellent choice fresh plentiful fried just right cat fish right in the middle of a bed of perfectly cheeses buttery grits. Choice of drinks for me was Mimosa with pineapple juice and orange juice

Chapman Kirby is the definition of Black Excellence! I went for brunch on a Sunday afternoon! There was live DJ! Looking around all I saw was fabulous styled black greatness! The Mimosas paired with their amazing Shrimp Grits was outstanding! They provide dining indoor and outdoor. I sat at the bar and my waitress was very attentive. I believe the person who was the owner walked over to us to make sure we were having a good time and that are food was meeting our expectations! Obviously this restaurant is for everyone but it’s so good to see your people have a good time while being classy!
