Great food – We ordered the burger and the captains chicken. They were both awesome. The wait staff was sweet too! We will totally come back.

awesome comfort food – Simple and very well executed. I had to comment in support after reading that distasteful review by that horror of a customer maethridge. My guess is that she's the kinda bitchy patron that makes a scene whenever the wait staff fails to genuflect when in her presence. About ZB, I been there many times. They're like family. We've watched them grow and stumble and fall only to pick themselves up and do better the next time. All the stumbling has been with physical problems with the building or the lack o... read more

Never disappointed. – The food is amazing and cooked to perfection. Very cozy, service is great, and no, it's not that cheap, but it's not so bad either, and for the price you're paying, it is oh so worth it. I've been there twice and both times extremely satisfied. Will definitely go there again; absolutely recommend it to everyone.

Terrible, never go back – Food was cold... we didn't send it back but several people around us did. We witnessed the cook rubbing his nose and touching the food. He picked at someones burger to remove the bacon that she didn't want and then took a bunch of fries from the same plate and stuffed them in his mouth. It is discusting. Manager seemed to care when the table complained but then when he turned his back he called the man a bad name. (you can hear everything in a small place like that). It was really a very very bad ex... read more

Exciting menu, great potential – We ate at Zelko Bistro the second week it was open (pre-Air Conditioning issues) and loved it. The Bruscetta with fresh hummus and feta is a basic Italian staple that is given a Mediterranean twist. The Shrimp and Grits was filling, with the creamy polenta (due to the white cheddar) and large, sauteed gulf shrimp. The Corned Beef and Cabbage was cooked properly. I was able to cut the cured brisket with a fork and cabbage still had a little bit of crunch to it. Unfortunately, we didn't try the... read more

Something new and Really Good!! – I am always on the look out for new exciting places to dine in Houston. Many of the suggestions come from close friends who have had good experiences, and some are picked from a rank list from CitySearch or other websites. Zelko Bistro was one that was referred to us by close friends, and in addition, received high marks on customer satisfaction on CitySearch. I was eager to try. I called Zelko to make a reservation for two, and was told that they operated on the first come-first serve basis... read more

Fresh Food at a Quintessential Heights Restaurant – Zelko Bistro could not be more neighborhood-centric if they tried. Local chefs? Check. Refurbished 1920s bungalow (with plans to incorporate the antiquated gas station next door as part of the restaurant in the future, which I can’t wait to see)? Check. Reasonably-priced seasonal menu and wine list? Check. Hiring mostly Heights-area residents as staff? Check. They seem to have everything covered... oh, except the parking, and the broken AC (but I expect they will get that f... read more

Pretty Good – We went to Zelko's last week after hearing rave reviews. First of all the food is fantastic! I really enjoyed my meal and the prices were very reasonable for the quality! The Sangria needs a little tweaking though. The AC happend to be broken so it was painstakingly hot in the retaurant and I was disappointed that they were limited on what beer they had in stock. Our waiter was very nice but it seemed that he was either very busy or very slow. The decor is relaxing and very quaint... I would give Zelko's anothe... read more
