Morgan at Nancy’s Hustle really made my birthday dinner special. I made a reservation for one to celebrate my birthday and came in with high expectations but somehow left even more impressed. I had to reschedule my original reservation because I was running late, and the staff was super accommodating. I arrived about 30 minutes later on a Tuesday evening and was seated immediately. Once I sat down, Morgan came right over and made me feel welcome. I told her how excited I was to finally try the Nancy Cakes and that I hadn’t eaten all day because I didn’t want to mess up my palate. I was torn between the burger and the chicken, but went with the chicken and I’m so glad I did. It was really flavorful. The beef fat sticky rice was perfect, and the drink I asked for (even though it wasn’t on the menu) was so good. Morgan gave great recommendations and clearly knew the menu inside and out. I also shared that I recently lost someone close to me, and she showed so much kindness and care, it meant more than she probably knows. The food, the staff, and the vibe were all top tier. Nancy’s Hustle does not miss.

i've been wanting to come here since they opened back in 2017 & am SO HAPPY I FINALLY MADE IT!!! it's definitely one of the top restaurants i've been to in houston so far. every aspect of this place from the ambiance to service is obviously very well thought out, and despite the restaurant being (rightfully) packed, we never felt rushed or congested. the menu has a variety of interesting items -- a little bit of everything for everyone. this place is for both foodies AND the casual eater. we ordered the bluefin tuna belly (a must), roasted mushrooms (a must), cheeseburger, & nancy's cakes. there's a small parking lot behind the restaurant, but you probably have a better shot at street parking!

My wife has been wanting to try out this restaurant for a while and it did not disappoint. We ordered Nancy's Cakes with cultured butter, smoked trout roe & chives, parmesan and pancetta croquettes. They were both excellent. These two plates alone were really enough but we didn't stop there. We added the white wheat sourdough with again, cultured butter. That bread was already good and crispy on its own but this cultured butter definitely makes anything better. For the main dish, we ordered the cheeseburger and shared it. The meat was cooked just to our liking, medium. Unfortunately, there was no more room for dessert. The service was very good as well. The staff shared the responsibilities and we definitely felt taken care of. The only negative I can think of is the sound level. It was definitely loud inside. But that would not keep us from coming back again.
