The Gripper Kitchen

First impression walking in was cool. They take your order in the front and you can do Togo or dine in, I dined in. Found a clean table and waited. I was expecting to get my food brought to my table but no lol I had to go get it, I would have been okay with it if it was just one tray/plate but then realized they only take food to the tables when they want to which I witnessed for a few people who came in after I did. I expect the same treatment as others when it comes to stuff like that especially if I dine in and tip beforehand. I got the Grandaddy Gripper with a side of fries (not included with the sandwich) a daiquiri and to go caramel peach cobbler. The overall sandwich presentation was good, the flavor a little more fishy than salmon if that makes sense, huge piece though. The fries were good you can tell they're freshly cut which I love. The daiquiri I got mixed flavors but I couldn't taste the liquor mostly ice and light fruit flavors, the owner was very nice, came by and asked how my food and drink was and I said it was okay. Which it was, just okay. He came back out and brought me an extra shot for my drink which was nice.I tried the peach cobbler at home it was also just okay. I would go back mainly for the fries but to also try a different gripper sandwich which I feel I would like more.

First of all the customer service was great. When we were ordering the cashier, it was very helpful with explaining the menu and giving suggestions. The menu has good multiple choices of burgers. Then, when we sat down to wait on the order, the guy didn't know if he was the owner or chef, but he was very kind as he brought food to our table. Now on to the food. I had the lobster burger and lemon pepper wings. The burger was ok, not the best, but it wasn't terrible. Now I liked how the top of the burger had the restaurant name on it. That's cute. The lemon pepper wings were pretty good. I typically prefer dry wings, and these were just lightly wet and tasted good with good season. The prices were a bit higher than I expected.

This was my 2nd time visiting Houston but 1st time in this eatery. Its a Black owned business. The customer service was prompt it was professional but also very laid-back. The chef, took the time to come introduce himself and give my sister and I a good rundown of the establishment. Everything was clean, neat and inviting, I would bring kids, like the entire family. There is something for everyone on the menu. N they have daily specials. Just look at my pics and videos, wouldn't you say its mouth watering?? Yup, absolutely delicious. N it tasted gud later that evening. After a day full of activities, I finished off my leftovers, and yup.. still yummy

Get a grip!! "We not trippin, we just grippin!" That's the motto here! Chef Tony ain't playing! Y'all come get this good grub! It's a cozy little spot that could be a place where you watch the game or just grab a beer and gripper and chill. The fish was fried to perfection. The parm fries were out of sight! The Mac n cheese will make you slap ya mama! And did I mention the peach cobbler tacos!!! Be prepared to get down and dirty with this delectable dessert!! They are literally finger licking good!! Chef Tony is all the way live - straight outta Detroit!!

I came here on at Thursday at 12noon. No kine, few pple eating inside. I ordered my food for dine in. There service was very kind. I got an off the menu meal which was theh salmon slider with sweet potato fries. The food came out fast and was super super hot. I do believe food should be served at the perfect temperature. I was soooo hungry but had to wait for my food to cool down. The appearance was very delicious looking. The bread was hot and soft. The slider was very delicious. I love sweet potatoe fries and have never been disappointed with it but unfortunately my fries was very hard so I didn't really enjoy it. But the meal over all was 7/10. Will be back to try other items l. I can reccomend this place

I really enjoyed the food here. I had the grilled chicken gripper. The sauce on my chicken sandwich was amazing. The banana pudding was also really good. The service was good staff was helpful with food suggestion selections. Will definitely go back.

I heard rave reviews about this place, but I can only say it is 'okay'. My food was hot, and I guess you could call it fresh--however everything was fried. The fish was cooked crisp, but not dry (just how I like it), and the fries were good. The iced tea was quite sweet. My main issue about the food was that it was overly-salty.The service at the front counter was adequate, but not warm and fuzzy, and the restaurant tables were not clean (I had to wipe mine down with napkins).For $30, I think I would look elsewhere for fried fish, shrimp, fries, and tea, but that's just me. Those are sit down prices your might experience at Pappa's, for a service-counter experience.I WILL give this place another (for the famed Gripper burger), just to make sure this was not a one-off 'meh' experience.

The food was good overall. Although I ordered my food to go when I received it, it was still warm and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of the blue Kool-Aid. However, I appreciate the fact they offer it!

We enjoyed everything! We had fried fish, shrimp, onion rings, a side salad, lobster gripper and a salmon gripper. All items were delicious but the onion rings stood out to me. They were a mix between a hush puppy and an onion ring - def a must order. The lobster gripper was fried to perfection and had a great texture. The owner and team were friendly and made us feel right at home. Note: I don't have pictures because I was excited to dig in. ;) But take my word for it, it's worth a visit.

I tried the Yung Gripper since it seemed like the popular option. I enjoyed it and maybe could've probably used some spice, but it was really good aside from that and a big portion. My friend got the Philly cheesesteak sliders and enjoyed them. I don't know why I never thought about trying mango koolaid but that really did something for me lol it was so good. I'd be back to try again.Great service, everyone was helpful and it was a very welcoming environment.
