Our party of 8 had reservations at 8:30pm. When we called to make the reservation, we were very clear that one of our party was my 90 year-old grandmother, and we were celebrating a birthday. The reservation assistant let us know that reservations might take 10-15 minutes to be seated, which I think is pretty standard at any restaurant. We arrived early and were told that our table was not ready, but that two tables were leaving shortly. As it turns out, one table of 8 had been seated since 5:30pm and the other since 6:30pm ... read more

Absolutely love the place! A Memorial hidden gem, and the cat is starting to get out of the bag, because the rest of Houston knows about it now. Beat the wait. Go early

The tableclothes and napkins are nice! – I have traveled most of Europe and all of America, I live in Houston and love it and it's eateries!....& Johnathan's is one of the worst I have encountered. I have here in front of me an ad from dishtip,(another city critique on eateries in Houston,) touting the wonder fried chicken served at this place...crunchy on the outside, yet juicy on the inside...it says, and several reviews agreeing....we arrived got the menu..no fried chicken, and folks the prices were mostly in the $30 rang... read more

Adult Day Care With A Kitchen – the food is "ok" and may even be "outstanding", but last night, it was uneatable. last night, my wife and i were witness to an extremely obnoxious customer at the restaurant, yelling insults at other patrons and making inappropriate slurs of all stripes through out the restaurant. the hostess and jonathan were both unwilling to tell the customer to "behave or leave" and even made the comment "that it was not the restaurant's fault that a customer was being obnoxious." we endured the "whole sho... read more

Jonathan's The Rub MISTAKE – Jonathan's The Rub will forever be remembered by my family and friends as "Houston's trendy dining mistake." Most alarming was the MEAT served which not only shook the entire table as my husband sawed through it, but WAS OLD. FRIGHTENING! As experienced diners, we often rely on great service to cushion bad food. NOT HERE. The service was equally horrendous. I repeatedly comforted my husband throughout the evening by ensuring him that this would provide a great laugh for us in the future. It was a... read more

Great little joint – Over the years I've watched this shopping center go through multiple transitions. My favorite has been the addition of Jonathons. Just be sure to relax, enjoy the good food, and convo. It's a small place so sometimes takes a little longer but the end result is worth it! The burgers are huge and really good. :)

Wonderful Food and Relaxed Dining – What a great find in hustling, bustling Houston. We had the Filet Asada on a creamy queso corn sauce and the pork tenderloin in another delicious sauce. The chicken and sausage gumbo was really a soup, but a fabulous soup, and there are not enough adjectives to describe the most amazing coconut pie. This is dining at its best, delicious food and an easy, low key ambiance.

terrible experience – Never in my life have I had such a horrible dining experience! When my family arrived our estimated wait time was 20 minutes and it took almost an hour. I understand this was an estimate, but it has always been my experience that the restaurant will over estimate to keep their customers happy. There was no waiting room inside so we sat on the patio in the heat. I watched several groups wait in their car for a table because it was so hot. Then when we finally got our table we received our dinner salads b... read more

If you live in the Memorial-Spring Valley area, Jonathan's The Rub is right in your own backyard, but don't worry: there is no typical backyard grilling going on here. Jonathan grills up tasty food and creative combinations. This restaurant has surprised us! We had seen the catering truck many times as we dropped off our laundry or ran into the corner quick-stop market in the strip shopping center. We were curious when one day the restaurant appeared. What makes the place so appealing is the atmosphere: small and intimate li... read more
