Greedy Lion — Restaurant in Houston

Went to the Greedy Lion on a whim on a random Friday afternoon. I was surprised to find they were located in a wine bar we’d visited a couple times previously. They’ve only been open a month so fairly new. Overall we had an amazing time at the restaurant. Once we saw the menu we decided to try “a little bit of alot” A few highlights… Service: from the time we walked in the door the service was A+. We were greeted and seated by the Owner, Latanya and our waiter T was great the entire time. Knowledgeable about the menu, great conversation, and on top on making sure we had everything we needed. Appetizers: greedy wings and sweet potato corn muffins were both an excellent choice to start the meal. Greens: I don’t eat just anybody’s greens and I’m a critic when it comes to greens. I’ll order these again and highly recommend. Turkey Chops: as a person who has lived in Chicago for years, I LOVE turkey chops, but have never been able to find them in Houston, until now. Highly recommend and make sure you ask for a side of gravy. Cabbage: delicious. Reminded me of some of my favorite Jamaican spots Corn: i’m a huge fan of maque choux and this reminded me of my fav corn dish. Definitely a must order Pintos & Black eyes peas: Both super solid Desserts were🔥🔥. We had the banana pudding & some sort strawberry cake…both are on the order again list Drinks were good, my wife had lemonade & vodka cocktail & I tried the red sangria (made to order)

Overall I would definitely recommend Greedy Lion for the food, drinks, service, and vibes. We will definitely...

This is a hidden gem! I didn’t know what to expect coming to The Greedy Lion, but I was impressed. Everything we tried was flavorful and well cooked. I wouldn’t come here on a diet, but the food was well worth the calories. We started with the greedy wings and sweet potato corn muffins. The wings were seasoned well with a slight sweetness. The muffins might’ve been my favorite. I’m a sweets person and although the muffin itself isn’t super sweet, the butter they give you almost tastes like icing. For my entree I had the catfish frenzy. The fish - yes. The spaghetti was alittle cheesy for me, but my boyfriend loved it. It’s located in the heights in a shopping center. It’s small so you wouldn’t just notice it, but it worth your time to find. I would be remised if I didn’t mention the bartender. bartender T was amazing. He helped us selecting what to order, was very attentive, and makes a mean sidecar. He definitely enhanced our experience with his vibrant energy. Come...

Ordered fried fish, mac & cheese, candied yams, and greens. The only thing I could choke down was the fish and the yams. The greens and the Mac & cheese tasted like pure salt. Before the chef rolls his eyes and thinks, "white people don't season their food, my girlfriend is black and we ate there because she saw a tiktok video and wanted to try it. She couldn't eat it either. It was wayyyyyyy...
