Overpriced for the portion size, and the food is good but not great for that price. It is a nice quiet vibe to just have a lunch alone, or a date, but service is severely lacking which is the major drawback here, AND they charge a 20% gratuity on the check for thier not gratuitous service. I overall would give this place a 3.5 out of 10 everything considered.

I placed a delivery order with Shandy’s via UberEats on 12/11/24 for a burger and side salad. I received an entirely different and cheaper order (no entree). I called the restaurant to inquire about my order and I was treated so incredibly rude. First a man answered the phone. He was polite and explained that the driver picked up the wrong order. I asked if I can come pick up the correct order. He asked me to wait on hold and after a brief pause someone else answers the phone, a woman this time saying, “Hello” and nothing else. I asked who I was speaking to and she replied, “This is Shandy’s” no answer to my inquiry or further explanation as to why they gave my driver an incorrect order. I again asked if they were going to replace my order and this lady scolded me like it was my fault. She took no ownership on the part of the restaurant. She said that the drivers are supposed to just pick up the items and scan them themselves. She lamented it was not her fault and not her problem. I asked her what she’s was going do about the $30 I just spent on a burger and salad and she said to call uber and again reiterated that it’s not her problem and highlighted what a huge inconvenience this situation is for her? Not sure how this can be an inconvenience for you or the restaurant when you did ✨absolutely nothing✨ to help me out include treat me politely. I would think twice before ordering takeout from this restaurant. I included a picture of the food that did come. It doesn’t even look very appetizing - straight to the trash.

I'm not sure why this place has so many good reviews. It was disappointing in so many ways. I've been to several restaurants around the Heights and in Houston and will definitely not be returning here.

Cons:
- overpriced - The portions are small given the cost. I got a small burger which came with only a few fries. The quality of food wasnt great either. It definitely wasn't worth what we paid for it. We should have just gone to Local Foods.
- Food was not good. - The chicken soup looked like watered down canned chicken noodle soup....It tasted like it too. The sandwiches and burgers consisted of just meat, bread, and cheese...definitely something you could make at home-and probably better. I was surprised that there's no lettuce or tomatoes on the burger unless you request it. When the lettuce arrived, it was soggy and looked old. The pasta my friend ordered was dry and barely had any pasta sauce. It was bland too.No one enjoyed their food and they seemed to be skimping out on the portion size and quality of food.
- Lack of customer service. The waitress didn't look like she wanted to be there and wasn't very friendly. No one greeted us at the door. We weren't confused about whether we should seat ourselves or be seated. It was also hard to get our waitress's attention when we needed something. She was often in the back area.
- Needs more variety. It was difficult to choose what to order unless you wanted a sandwich, burger, or salad. Food descriptions weren't appetizing either. Menu needs work.
- Food took a while to come out.
- Restaurant was mostly empty during lunch hour. That should have been a red flag.
- No coffee selection.
- Parking was somewhat limited since it's the Heights and on 19th street.
- Mediocre ambiance- has potential but lacks character and a vibe.
-

Pros
- Easy to get a table since there aren't many people there
- Casual

I really wanted to love this place but was very disappointed!!

Shandy’s is a charming and easily accessible restaurant in the Heights. On a recommendation from my dental hygienist, I tried the Garlic Brown Sugar pork chops with Dijon mashed potatoes and a house salad—everything was excellent. Mrs. Shandy herself provided great service. Highly recommend!

We decided to try a new place and based on reviews this was it. Shandy's exceeded our expectations. Service was prompt and friendly. Our food was delicious (we all tried sandwiches). The atmosphere was classy enough we wondered about how they'd really feel about kids. Well, they obviously enjoy family customers cause they have a solid kids menu and provided coloring supplies. We'll definitely be back.

Met Ms. Shandy herself yesterday :)

Simple but surprisingly tasty salad, decently peppered black bean soup and very low-sulfite red Italian red wine by the glass are on the menu.

Take-your-bottle-home wine option offered.

I like that the menu is a bit inventive and leans toward healthier options.

The waitress was arguing with the fact that she wasn’t respectful at all to us and had been rude the whole time i want to speak to a manager about how young people are age aren’t treated correctly at your establishment anyone in the younger looking age don’t go here you won’t be treated with respect just a upset waitress

She was only at our table when she needed to be charged for extra things that were never asked for us my friend about a sandwich but wasn’t asked which chips or fries she wanted and charged because she didn’t care to ask she choose to be nicer to regulars instead of being somewhat nice and getting a 20% tip i love tipping my service people but i didn’t not and will never leave a waitress who argues with the customer a tip and waited 40 minutes to get us our check

Bad customer service. Today was my first time and the last. The lady who serve us was very rude from the moment we got in. I ordered an ice tea for a refreshment (it's summer), and I was sharing it with my friend, but the same lady told us that we could not share it, or else she will charge twice. We paid and left the place with a really bad impression.

Went in to pick up my to-go order my girlfriend placed online. I walk in and I go to the counter, the only black lady behind the counter. I didn't catch her name. She sees me and just gives me the silent treatment. I had a drink with my order, so I see her go get the lemonade and brings it back and sets it next to the bag, keep in mind not one word has been said from either one of us. She pushes the drink next to the bad and towards me, she walks away and luckily the bag had a receipt taped on the bag with my girlfriends name on it. Bad day? Don't bring it to work hun, no one wants to be treated like that, especially on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I won't be going back to that place and also, 0 Star on the Food.

Tried their signature turkey sandwich and my husband tried their chicken salad sandwich. Personally I felt the food didn’t have much flavor at all, not even in their chipotle mayo. I wouldn’t have been too upset if it weren’t for the fact that it was $40 for 2 sandwiches and 1 iced tea. The servers seemed more distracted caring for their kids and weren’t too enthusiastic with any of the tables or us.

Based off the reviews, I thought this place would be a win but my experience was not pleasant. The staff was friendly but they seemed to be distracted taking care of their kids or sitting down and socializing with other tables. What went wrong is the wait time and the quality of the food. I don’t mind paying a pretty penny for food if the quality equals the price. We waited 45 minutes for a $45 ribeye that was rare when asked for mid rare. The veggies were bland and had no flavor. I also ordered a side of sweet potato fries that took around 40 minutes to bring out and it was cold. There were 2 tables sat after us that received their food and they were done eating while we still were waiting. At this point we were on our way to a concert and just couldn’t wait any longer to ask them to correct the order. We left not finishing the food and was given a bill for $110. This was for 2 drinks, an appetizer, and the entree, with an $8 side of cold sweet potato fries. My gut was telling me to just cancel the order and leave but I tried to stay positive. Me and my friend left disappointed. We could have went to a Brazilian steakhouse for the price we paid and had a lot more quality food. We learned our lesson and won’t be back.

My 2 teens ate with their team without us last weekend and we just received the credit card bill and the story from them and their teammates. My teen ordered a bleu cheese burger not know what it was. She added avocado and bacon not knowing the base burger was not what she started with. When it arrived, she said she did not understand her order and the waitress said they would replace. All teammates agreed that waitress said replace without new order. Teen even asked to have them remove the cheese and keep avocado and bacon. We were charged for both burgers and both additions of avocado and bacon. The waitress clearly took advantage of the teen. Tip was added on by restaurant. Bill for 2 teen burgers no appetizers was $66.

Spotlessly clean, welcomed upon entry. And then the hard part. Everything on the menu looked so good. We were in the mood for burgers and they were fabulous. Not fancy, nor so thick you can’t eat them. Perfect ratio of bun, meat and condiments. And so flavorful and juicy. When you come home from a long overseas trip and you are craving the perfect American burger, get one here!

"I recently ordered takeout from this place and unfortunately, I encountered some rudeness. I had ordered a simple soup combo and when I arrived, the place seemed quite empty. The only downside was that they forgot to include utensils, so I had to wait a bit before I could enjoy my meal. However, aside from that minor inconvenience, the food itself was actually quite decent. That's all I can say about my experience."

I have been coming here since their grand opening and the food, atmosphere and customer service were great, until Wednesday night.

I was there with a date and the owner/waitress came with our ticket. She took my date’s card to pay for the meal.

He checked his account and told me that she charged him two different charges $51 and $118, at the same time.

When she can back with the receipts, he tried to tell her AND show her that he was charged for our meal and someone’s meal. She never stopped to look at his charges, she just immediately blamed the bank for a $118 charge. I then advised her to listen and look instead of jumping on the defense and showed her that SHE made the error.

She then realized that she had the credit card of the other table, but swiped my date’s card for both tables. Instead of sincerely apologizing for her error and humbling herself, she shrugged her shoulders and said “well, it was an accident.” At that point, I told her to go fix it and void the transaction.

She came back to the table with a receipt showing that she voided the transaction and continued to shrug her shoulders and state “it was an accident” and still no apology or remorse.

Be that as it may, she was flirting with the men at the table of the bill my date paid along with ours. She wasn’t paying attention to what she was doing and paid two tables to the wrong card. She had NO humility and NO remorse about what she had done and now, not only has she lost me as a customer, but she has lost my following as customers.

A sincere apology and changed actions go along way. Humble yourself.

Fantastic restaurant in the Heights. Black woman owned. My friend had the Buffalo burger, which he loved, but I say try the Baked Chicken with steamed broccoli and couscous. Everything was perfect. The owner was so sweet, and you could tell it was a family affair. You love to see it. BTW, the couscous was the best I've ever had, and I lived in the Middle East for 10 years.

Keep the Heights for Houstonians!

Shandy's is a favorite of mine. We first discovered it in the Memorial location and now it's even closer in the Heights. The absolute best thing on the menu is her Roast Chicken. Juicy, flavorful, and spiced to perfection. I always forget to take pictures because I eat it so fast.

She insisted I try out the cheesecake and I can say she was right, so delicious! I also got the red velvet cake because it was calling my name and so lovely as well.

She also has great wine selections and a full bar. I went at an off hour during the rain so there were plenty of seats. We had her chicken veggie soup as well as the spicy black bean soup and they were both wonderful for a rainy day.

She said they will be taking part in Boos & Brews in the Heights as well as an Alzheimer's event in November and Lights In The Heights. I love seeing a local business take part in community activities.

We had a great dinner here . The food was really good and tasty. I had a buffalo burger, my mum had a tuna salad sandwich. We both opted to switch out the fries for sweet potato fries, and were very happy with the flavor and nice crispy outside. My sister has eaten here in the past, and she highly recommends their Spinach Artichoke Turkey Burger. Very decent beer list. Tasty desserts, too. We had a peanut-butter cookie and an Outrageous Brownie. The brownie was especially nice, and would be perfect in their Brownie à la Mode.
Our server was friendly, fast, and attentive (but not too attentive, if you know what I mean). The place was comfy and clean. There's a reasonable amount of street parking. We'll be going back.

I am delighted to share my wonderful experience at Shandys, a restaurant that truly impressed me with their outstanding food, exceptional customer service, and amazing drinks.

From the moment I walked into Shandys, I was struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. The decor was modern and elegant, with comfortable seating and soft lighting that created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed and valued as a customer.

But the real star of the show was the food. Shandys offers an incredible selection of dishes that are expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients. The flavors and textures were simply amazing, and every bite was a culinary delight. The menu featured a diverse range of dishes, from classic comfort food to innovative and creative offerings, all of which were executed to perfection.

One of the things that stood out to me the most about Shandys was their drinks. They have an impressive selection of craft cocktails, beers, and wines that perfectly complemented our meals. The drinks were beautifully presented and tasted fantastic, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our dining experience.

But what really made our visit to Shandys memorable was the customer service. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time. They were happy to provide recommendations, answer any questions we had, and made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

Overall, I cannot recommend Shandys highly enough. If you're looking for a restaurant that offers excellent food, fantastic drinks, and exceptional customer service, then this is the place for you. Whether you're visiting for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends, Shandys is the perfect choice for a memorable and enjoyable dining experience.

We ordered guacamole 4/5 and chips 5/5 (might be best tortilla chips ever), club sandwich 4.5/5 (liked no middle bread slice, ham and cheese sandwich 4/5, southwest burger 4/5. I just ate here again. This time I got the roasted chicken 5/5 with blistered green beans 5/5. The chicken is moist and well spiced.

I just happened upon this place while antique shopping, and it was such a delightful surprise. The food is delicious (including their scrumptious fries) and the staff is very friendly, though they sometimes forget to stop by.

Shandy’s is a solid lunch spot featuring fresh-and-healthy Mediterranean-fusion cuisine. I tried the seared salmon with couscous entree and for $22, and I'd give the dish (4/5) for flavor and (4.5/5) for value. The cut of salmon was very generous and the sides were tasty, especially given how healthy they were. I would certainly return to Shandy’s and recommend it as a strong contender at its price point.

My boyfriend and I came in on a Monday evening for a early valentines dinner and was immediately greeted and welcomed. The level of customer service service exceeded our expectations and hope. From the very beginning we were treated with such kindness and both of those who served us were attentive throughout the duration of our visit. The spinach dip with tortilla chips was our appetizer and that was delicious and had wonderful flavor! ( I would love to see that made into a soup as well!) I ordered the roasted chicken and it was absolutely incredible. Tender, juicy, seasoned, delicious chicken, the best I have ever had. The meat literally fell off the bone, which is what our waitress told us and was very pleased with how that proved to be true when we received it. The mashed potatoes and green beans were prepared to perfection. My boyfriend got the pork chops and he agreed that they were the best he’s tried. For dessert we ordered this warm red velvet cake drizzled with chocolate and cheesecake icing. It melted in our mouth and was again, one of the best we have had. The quality of the food, service, and cleanliness of this restaurant was top notch. I will definitely be recommending this place to others and we will DEFINITELY be returning. It was one of the most satisfying dining experiences.

Absolutely LOVED this place. The ribeye, cooked medium rare, was delicious. Even better than the nicest Houston steakhouses. They have some affordable wines by the bottle, which is appreciated.

The service was phenomenal. I enjoyed meeting the owner, Shandy, and her niece. Look forward to many future visits!

Really great for a late night bite and the service was incredible, both the waiter and bartender. Loved the bloody Mary and the blue cheese bacon burger was excellent. The area can get busy but well worth trying.

1. Food was average/below average
2. Servers were alright, customer service and management were not helpful
3. If you don’t like something expect to pay for it.

I had the Hummus and it was watery and bland as you can get. Buying from the grocery store is way better. I did not even touch much after a few bites and asked if they can remove it from the check and was told no because no one ever complains about it? If you need $11 rather than keeping customers happy then alright Shandys its time to focus on other priorities at that point… I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with a very interesting twist. No buffalo sauce… my girlfriend ordered a burger and it came out nice but very basic. All in all I enjoyed my time at the restaurant very clean but I came to eat not be fascinated by ambiance and the food was not good. I look forward to a response.
Also UPDATE YOUR MENU why even show me an item that I want that isnt on the menu anymore?

Got take out (Chicken Penne Pasta) from Shandy's and it was one of the most flavorful dishes I've ever gotten. The pasta was cooked perfectly, chicken was juicy and seasoned perfectly, and the pasta sauce and pesto were made to perfection! Very friendly environment and excellent customer service! Don't do yourself a disservice by not coming here! Go try Shandy's!!!

A girlfriend and I go to a massage place in the same block on Sunday mornings and we asked the owner of the place where should we eat and she recommended this place. We went and OMG, the food was EXCELLENT! Also the service was impeccable and the atmosphere clean, modern and the clientele it attracts is pleasant. I am going to take my mother there one day and we will DEFINITELY be back. It is hard to see though. I've walked past this place hundreds of times and never saw it and I also have gone in the store hundreds of times it is attached to and I NEVER EVA saw it. Also, the font on the sign isn't legible so you HAVE to know that it's there to find it. Again, A PLUS food and service. Deon was our host and I have never had service like him.

This place is amazing! The vibe is so nice. The staff is friendly. There's also a guy in there that looks almost like Justin Timberlake and he will bust a move for you! The owner Shandy is SUPER inviting and pleasant. She came over to talk to us and made recommendations about the roasted chicken (that we'll try next time). The pesto pasta with chicken added is amazingly Dee-licious. I'm from Nola so I love to eat good food. I'd say go to Shandy's you won't be sorry!!!

What a change from Shandy’s location on Memorial that is much loved. Love this bright open space. Shandy has done a beautiful job creating a nice environment in which to dine and drink (thanks to the full bar w/plenty of seating). My friend and I had lunch. She had a delicious salad and I had the soup, sandwich, salad combo. I had the chicken vegetable soup, to which I had to add a lot of pepper and salt for the flavor I was hoping for. Unfortunately the chicken in the soup was tough and stringy. I had been hoping for actual chunks for both white and dark meat rather than shredded/pulled chicken. The chicken salad sandwich (half) was flavorful and the salad was fresh. Definitely want to go again and try other items on the diverse menu. Wishing Shandy much success with the new location!
