Treebeards is a downtown staple for a reason. The atmosphere is fantastic, the room has a great vibe! especially given the location. I tried the bake chicken – half portion (was enough for me) which came with dirty rice and coleslaw (loved the blue cheese twist). The food was flavorful and the portion was enough for lunch time. It’s hard to find a meal this good for $11 in this area. Highly recommend for a solid, affordable lunch.

I loved every bit of this place. The food was really good. I got the fried chicken with white gravy, dirty rice, greens, and some red beans and rice topped with cheese. Everything was immaculately good. The butter cake was sweet from my pallet, but good as well. I will be coming back, definitely.

An old Houston tradition in a Houston landmark. Red beans and rice are simple and wonderful. Shrimp Étouffée is always so good. Cornbread brick is large enough to share but there is complimentary bread and butter if you prefer. Don’t skip the carrot cake. The service and seating is cafeteria style. One of Downtown’s traditions!

The gumbo and seafood gumbo are outstanding. I could eat Treebeards’ gumbo everyday. The food, service and atmosphere can’t be beat for the price in downtown Houston.
12.18.2025 update: I tried the Rookie Plate today. With red beans and rice, sausage, shrimp etoufee, cheese, green onions, and hot sauce, it may be the best dish in all of Houston for the price. Cravings.

Love this place! Everything is good here. From the chicken fried chicken to the blackened catfish with some mashed potatoes, to the gumbo and chili, even their salads are delicious! You must try their butter cake, yellow cake, chocolate cake, all the cakes!!

You would not know there is a restaurant open to the public that is inside a church that have your cafeteria style food and you can check the website to see what they have on the menu as it change. It is very peace inside here. The food was good and the price is fair. It is a very unique spot for lunch in downtown Houston.

Tree beards has been around for decades. It’s a cafeteria inside of a Church. The food is decent (ettufee, seafood Gumbo (mediocre), good cornbread, HUGE portions, and the prices are VERY reasonable. Good venue but for walking distance as parking can be a challenge. You will LIKELY run into the local legal community there (Judge’s, attorneys, etc.) They like place because it’s a staple. But try it!

The food was just okay to slightly better. I bought chicken & sausage gumbo. The taste was good but it was hard to enjoy because it came over rice, so it was pretty dry. I don’t know if you can order rice on the side or not. I also bought red beans & rice. Just like the gumbo, there was little to no juice. Everything was pretty dry. I bought jalapeno cornbread which in my opinion was overpriced for the small piece you get, but it tasted pretty okay. Te chocolate layer cake had way, way too much frosting between the layers but was an okay amount on top & on the sides. It was pretty good. I bought the yellow cake but didn’t get a chance to taste it before it was eaten. I spent close to $100 for two chicken & sausage gumbo, two red beans & rice, four pieces of cornbread & two slices of cake. Unless I can find out how to get gumbo & red beans that are saucer or have more liquid in them, I don’t think I’ll go back. The atmosphere was okay, the people taking your orders just seemed rushed & all business.

Treebeards in downtown Houston is an absolute institution, and for good reason. It’s a no-frills, counter-service spot that serves up some of the best Southern comfort food you’ll find anywhere. The atmosphere is bustling and lively, especially during the lunch rush, and the classic decor gives it a homey, timeless feel. The menu is simple but perfectly executed, with dishes like their famous red beans and rice, fried chicken, and shrimp étouffée that are rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. The food is consistently outstanding, and it feels like a comforting, delicious taste of Houston’s history. It’s the perfect spot for a hearty, traditional meal.
