Before I begin, I want to clear up some confusion about this place. If you intend to eat at the GREEN building location near SMU, you want to eat at the Hillcrest location. If you want to eat at the Preston location (in the strip mall parking lot with Central Market), go to this location on Preston. I say that because some genius posted the wrong building photos on each address location. The photos of the green building are NOT for the Preston location! Having said that….
The location is on the corner of Preston & Royal… in the same parking lot with Central Market. Parking was great because it’s in a strip mall parking lot. So there was adequate parking.
Great location, great vibe on the inside. We were able to walk in and get a table in 30 minutes. We waited at the bar and tried an appetizer. Then got seated when our table became open.
As I said, we ordered an appetizer. Try the smoked salmon! That with the sauce is AMAZING! I wasn’t too crazy about the pita bread pairing. They could have used a crispier bread to contrast it. But it’s worth getting.
My wife ordered a grilled chicken Cesar salad. She loved it. The dressing was more like a vinaigrette.
I ordered the chicken tenders with honey mustard and mashed potatoes. All great choices. The mashed potatoes had carrot bits in them (I’m not a carrot guy), but the mashed potatoes tasted great. So I didn’t mind the carrots.
We tried the pizza. We ordered a Chicago pizza and added pepperoni and sausage. That with the hot honey was a smash hit. To be honest, the pizza wasn’t so great the next day.
If you’re a fan of Houston’s chicken tenders or smoked salmon, you’ll love this place. I won’t say that DL Mack’s copied it. They just had the sense to keep it on the menu… and by coincidence, it tastes just as good- if not better. Great food. Great service. Great price. I highly recommend.
Consider making reservations “just in case”.
I started with the devilled eggs, which give Hillstone / R+D Kitchen a run for the money as the best devilled eggs.
I got the chicken tenders that were better than any fast food . The batter is perfect and they provide two dipping sauces.
And let me tell you—it did not disappoint. It was freakin’ amazing! The flavors were on point and honestly tasted just like home.
We rolled up around 9pm, not realizing they closed at 10, but they still welcomed us in. We grabbed seats at the bar and Matt took great care of us—friendly, attentive, and just good vibes all around. The drinks were solid, and the service was top-tier.
We started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and flavorful, and that pizza? Easily a solid 8/10 in my book. Crispy, cheesy, and full of that Chicago magic.
Now I have to go back for happy hour because I’ve heard nothing but good things. Trust—I’ll definitely be back.
