There's also a Poke place in the little strip center between Tad's and the Exxon - at the back nearest to Lowes. I've been thinking about trying it, anyone else been there?
The poke place near Tad's is also a ramen place and as far as I know, still isn't open. It seems like it's just been sitting there unopened for a year (or more).
Has anyone tried the Mexican food truck that's in the Exxon gas station over by Tad's? I always forget about them and I literally live a mile away.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

What an absolute disappointment Dimasis has been here. After enjoying the Houston area locations for so many years I keep giving the local one repeated chances and they keep failing.
Ongoing issues: food, protein especially never at warm temps (and we've literally told them this each time)
Today's issue other than that some of the food was 100% leftovers from yesterday. Stale tasting and obviously warmed up.
Coke machine out, staff told, and in a 35 min seated period it's never refilled in spite of 2 additional reminders.
I really do not like going after small business w reviews or message board stuff but they are no longer small and their staff puts in 0 effort. Totally riding their bigger city reputation

Agreed. I have been twice and wasn't impressed. I really wanted to like it.
That completely sucks. We've been waiting to go to let them work out any kinks but it seems they aren't going to.
I've heard the same.
Yikes. I still haven't tried them but I don't do buffets anymore. Hope they get their act together.

FWIW the Dimassi's on East Freeway in Houston shuttered after less than two years in operation.
Location, Location, Location
Too far from the bypass- right? 
After covid, I have no problems with service. I've never been there though.
I hope I did not offend anybody with this post. If I did, please come see me at my address in my profile so we can talk.
I was one and done at DiMassi's

Yeah it's bad. Wonder if the Fadi's a la carte model would work better.

I was more talking about the East Freeway location that shut down quickly from PS3D's post.
I too was disappointed in Dimasis and had been very excited for them to open. There were some good things, sure. But, more misses than at other locations I have been to.
Yes. Fadis please!

Is this something for the health department?
I've never owned a business. But it just amazes me the places that open, have obvious service/quality issues, make no apparent adjustments or attempts to improve, and then fail.
Like why even bother? Seems like that's the path dimassis is on.
Also ref: that sports bar by academy that's still for sale. Can't even remember the name right now.

La Familia for the win! Ordered 2 fajita tacos and they offered me free queso with chips! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Going to Christopher's Wood Grill for the 1st time tomorrow. Anyone have recommendations on their menu. Thanks in advance.
Gig ‘Em Baby!
Anything with Christopher's house vegetable presentation! Shrimp or Redfish! Yum! Also the bread service. Let them know if it's a special occasion as they will make it special!
Sea Bass there is always pretty solid

I would suggest sticking with the regular menu items. Almost every time I have ordered a daily special, I wish I would have ordered from the menu.

Seafood fondue
Field Greens Salad

Thanks for the responses, I think I will go with the South American steak or the red fish. Someone else at the table will most likely get the filet so I can See that one that way.
Did not see the sea bass on the menu.

I recommend you go ahead and make a reservation for November or December, as that is when they will have their English Toffee Cake (sticky toffee pudding). It is absolutely amazing.
Oops, replied to the wrong post!
Oh
Looks like I will be taking my mom their in November for her birthday.
