An Unforgettable Experience From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. Alessia and Peter were amazing, attentive to every detail, and the owner made us feel truly welcome. The food was on another level--every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The drinks were just as incredible. Thank you for an exceptional experience--we can't wait to come back!

First of all the atmosphere (we sat outside) was lovely. We started with the appetizer which was a morracan cigar and salad. Absolutely Devine. Next we had the Cobia dish served with rice pilaf, mashed potatoes and grilled veggie. It was amazing and filling. Can't say enough about the cheesecake. Unlike any cheesecake we have ever had and I am really not a big fan of cheesecake but will definitely get it again. Can't wait to return to see the next menu they have.

Incredible dinner, and service was amazing! Definitely recommend for a dinner date. It was my first time, and I really loved it. This restaurant is reservation only, and has a limited menu.

The restaurant is beautifully designed and the staff was excellent. My daughter enjoyed watching their pet turkey in the yard while waiting for our table. The food was delicious but for the price I expected it to be more elaborate. At this price point, I enjoy eating at places that make dishes that I can't make at home easily and food that challenges my taste buds. Outlaw didn't provide that but it was a great experience and we all left full and happy.

Enjoying a fine meal at Outlaw Kitchens is like a treasure hunt: the menu changes often, but has limited choices, so you want to check ahead and go on a day when they are offering something you like. Also, the best possible experience is dining on the patio in good weather, but this is Texas so the weather is variable. The patio has a misting system to cool things down, and the patio faces east so it's shady in the evening. Ordering the prix fixe menu gets you an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. They offer a vegetarian entree, too. You can choose a set of alcoholic drink pairings or just get soda or water. The food has a farm-to-table feel: fresh ingredients, well prepared, with just enough sauces, seasonings, etc. The staff treat you like you are a neighbor stopping by. The restaurant is located in a historic residential neighborhood, and many of the clients are locals. It's casual with a bit of an old money feel. There are always families, and the patio is kid friendly.

We made reservations to visit after trying to walk in last week and finding out they had already filled their last spot. It was worth the wait! We were seated in a cozy little cubby near the back, which was perfect. The staff shared the story of the owners--a husband, a graduate of the CIA culinary school, and his wife, who has a background in construction. Together, they created a warm and inviting restaurant where they used to live before expanding due to their success. We couldn't decide on a red wine, so our waitress graciously let us sample a few before we settled on a lovely French dry red. Our meal started with a fantastic pork and grape appetizer, which was the highlight for us. For the mains, we chose a vegetable and a fish dish. The eggplant was a bit too rich for my taste, and I would have preferred a lighter, crunchier panko coating. The redfish had a bit of a strong flavor, but the corn succotash that accompanied it was excellent. The fresh, crisp salad was another standout. We were too full to enjoy dessert at the restaurant, so we took a nectarine tartlet and chocolate cake home. Both were a hit the next day! For everything we enjoyed, the bill was very reasonable, and the service was exceptional. We'll definitely be back to try more from their weekly-changing prix fixe menu.

I took my husband for his birthday and we had a great time! It was a hot day and we sat inside. We shared the appetizer and the dessert. My husband had the paella with Caesar salad and I had the lasagna with green salad. The food was fabulous. We have eaten here before and we will eat here again soon. Looking forward to eating outside as soon as the weather cooperates. Everyone was so friendly. Natalie waited on us and the service was excellent. Everyone working here really seemed to enjoy working here. That really adds to the entire experience!

I have been wanting to eat here for awhile and it came up on Culinaria week and the menu was what I had been wanting, the schnitzel and spaetzle. Now, it was good, it wasn't stellar, it was OK. The presentation was less than I expected. The staff were amazing; the building is lovely. The dessert. Oh my goodness. That chocolate torte with sour cream ice cream. Divine. Velvety. Sour cream tang to the ice cream perfectly matched very sweet torte.

Wow!!! It's rare that I'm blown away by a restaurant, but this was superb. I think this meal was my favorite dining experience of the year so far. I've been meaning to try Outlaw Kitchens for a while but never got around to it. I decided to check the menu for today online and it sounded right up my alley, so we made a reservation and showed up for dinner. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. We were seated right away and the menu was immediately explained to us. We wanted to try everything on the menu, so we ordered two 3-course prix fixe meals and tried each entree and dessert. The crab cake appetizer was delicious, deep fried and generously stuffed with crab meat. The two entrees were beautifully done as well. My husband ordered the cacio e pepe and I ordered the steak chimichurri. The steak was cooked perfectly and accompanied by broccoli and twice baked potato-- both great. The cacio e pepe surprised us both, though. It was bursting with flavor thanks to the tomato "meatball" and basil purée. I could eat three plates of that pasta alone. The dessert of course was amazing as well. Perfect crème brûlée and a sinfully rich chocolate torte. All in all, a wonderful and unique experience. The restaurant is owned and operated by a couple that actively work in the restaurant, and you can tell that love is put into the food and service. We can't wait to return.
