Fielding's Local Kitchen + Bar - The Woodlands, Texas

This place has been a favorite for a long time and a must visit when I’m in Houston. The food is locally sourced whenever possible and the menu ever changing. The one constant is the great quality and service. The bar menu is extensive.

Disappointing. Called ahead and was told we could be seated immediately. Arrived 7m later then got quoted 45m wait. Put our names down on a list to await a text. Stood out front waiting while trying to contain our children and baby while 1hr and 35m goes by and still no text. I call by phone to inquire just for them to tell me sorry-they don’t know what happened. Complete waste of our time. Ended up having to order takeout from elsewhere. This was our 2nd negative experience here so we will no longer be going back.

We went during happy hour. Everything was amazing. The steak was cook perfectly. The truffle fries are addictive. And leave room for dessert, the pumpkin cobbler was to die for.

Fieldings Local is a self-described "eco-friendly" restaurant and bar that locally sources sustainable foods and materials. The founder was previously associated with Hubbel & Hudson, and the menu and feel might remind you of The Kitchen or Black Walnut. I've eaten at Fieldings (non-local) before and had good experiences, so my expectations for brunch were high. My experience was putting frozen butter on burnt toast with a steak knife; everything was just a bit off, including the service. My wife had a better experience with her food, although the waiter forgot her drink until after we finished the meal. You can probably get a good meal here, and the environment, except the dirty women's restroom, is casual but upscale. Still, I must rate it on my experience; I often get a classic brunch, eggs, bacon, bread, and potatoes or grits. This meal is a good measure of a restaurant; something’s wrong if you can’t do that well. Sadly, the eggs and potatoes were cold, the bacon was over-salted, and the toast was burned. Surprisingly, the coffee is charged by the cup ($4.25ea) with no refills; I can't remember the last time I paid by the cup. On the bright side, the Lemon Pancake, croissant, and Spicy Avocado Scramble were good (or so my wife says).

The service fits right in with the food -- it could be better. Our waiter was friendly enough but seemed distracted. You shouldn't have to ask for butter or jelly for your burned toast, coffee refills, or if a cocktail is coming. Again, I could go on, but you get the idea.

The atmosphere is pleasant; it's a modern but casual environment with lots of light, concrete, wood, and fake flowers. It's inviting and comfortable. There's outdoor seating available overlooking the green, which I imagine gets busy on cool fall days. As with the food, you can tell a lot by a restaurant based on how they keep their bathroom. The men's bathroom was clean enough, but the women's bathroom needed to be cleaner, with paper towels everywhere, a stall out of order, and a dirty high chair in front of it.

I was pretty disappointed in what should have been a fabulous brunch; I might have had a better experience somewhere far cheaper. Still, I'm inclined to chalk this up to an off day or something else going on and try it again, maybe...

Loved the food and the woman assisting us was great. Great atmosphere, Its just not a place big enough to take your stroller when you have a tiny baby. I had to apologize to the patrons as we left because they had to stand up for us to pass. Otherwise give them a try you won't regret.

I got the steak with avocado quesadilla and potatoes!! *chefs kiss*

This was a fantastic place. The happy hour is excellent, and the food was 5 stars. The fried okra and the butter chicken are absolutely delicious. The shopping center is a great atmosphere and place to relax after work at a happy hour. The alcohol menu was extensive, and they have their own line of skin care products in the bathroom. The service was excellent, and you will have a great time, whether sitting at the bar or enjoying happy hour or dinner at a table.

Sat at the bar ..bartender, he was very slow to greet us. Seemed he was more focused on bar prepping and dining room drinks. Halfway through our dining experience we had a female Bartender apparently take over and our service was greatly improved. The food was excellent as were our beverage selections.. glass of wine and and an old fashion. We will be back for sure!

We have been to this location multiple times. We made an early reservation on a Saturday night. They were busy. Usually the food is consistently good. But on this night, our steak tasted like lighter fluid or burnt oil. Also, it had a lot of gristle and fat. The other dishes were fine. Our waitress seemed annoyed that we were seated at a 6-top and only had 3 plus a baby. We always order higher priced items so the bill must have been comparable to table next door ordering pizza. In any case, the steak is very expensive and as a steak place, they should not have a miss like that.
