Maybe the chef had a bad day?

I always hear how good it is and Tabitha Brown had me hyped but I am not exaggerating when I say this was not edible. The grits were the worse I've ever had. It didn't even taste like grits. I question if it was made by someone in the south. The king oyster mushrooms tasted like the oil it was cooked in might have been old and they were very hard. The waffle was ok but they forgot our syrup. The pancakes were very bad so we spent over $100 on breakfast that we couldn't eat. However since people rave about it I'll try again one day for their dinner menu.
Update
My husband eats there every time he's assigned work in Houston and his experience has been good each time minus our 1st bad experience.

Another superb experience

I absolutely love the food in this black owned business. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. Everything I’ve had here, the shrooms and grits, the pancakes, the breakfast platter… All are prepared with care. Sometimes the service is slow, but it’s always good.

Pros: Quality of the food, Atmosphere, Friendliness of the staff

Mo' Better Brews: Where Vegan Dreams and Flavor Explosions Collide

Mo' Better Brews is the plant-based oasis your taste buds never knew they needed. The waffles are like a symphony of flavors, and the oysters (yes, vegan oysters!) are a mind-blowing masterpiece. The side of grits? Pure comfort in a bowl. The staff, the music, the vegan goodness – it's like a party for your senses. Mo' Better Brews, where vegan dreams come true, and even carnivores reconsider their life choices.

Pros: My life choices, The food!!, The staff

TRULY AMAZING. Look no further for your next meal.

This is a world class vegan restaurant that just happens to be in Houston. We’ve been coming here since the first week they opened and stop by—multiple times!—whenever we are in town.

I’m not going to rate various menu items, as I usually do, because EVERYTHING we’ve ever had here (and we’ve probably had everything on the menu by now) is simply spectacular. Whatever you try, I think you’ll love it.

Support Black-owned vegan restaurants (which is easy to do when they are this good)!

Pros: EVERYTHING is delicious , Fantastic staff , Great music

Fantastic Breakfast and Brunch

What a great way to start our day! We had a fantastic quesadilla and a set of brunch tacos. Highly recommended.

Pros: Lots of what folks consider to be morning food , Kids probably will find some really fun pancakes

Cons: Not inexpensive but fair, My wife thought the coffee was too dark and smoky

Worth the wait?

Parking is limited and we waited a while to order and get our boxes. We waited a LONG WHILE for our food. Could be considered a good thing because it is busy on a Sunday afternoon. I’m starving!!!!

Inside was warm and a bit stuffy. A window needed to be opened or ceiling fans added. I wish they’d use reusable utensils.

We went again on Sunday and I won’t go back until the winter. It’s too friggin hot and stuffy inside. Outside is no better because it’s Houston. Please invest in some ceiling fans. Your food is good but breathing is too hard in there. There were at least three people fanning themselves. Reversible ceiling fans. Please!

Great food

First time visiting and it was delicious. The barbecue cauliflower wings were spectacular. I recommend it. Hot "honey" shrooms and grit - I had to eat them all and wanted more. 5/5 !!! I need to come for the vinyl events.

Update 1: had to go back and had the shrooms flight - and I could def give 6* out of five. SO GOOD.

Great Food, Service & Live Music!

Exceeded our expectations! We shared Gumbo, shroom and grits, and crunchy boudin rolls. Fresh, seasoned to perfection and pleasing to the palate!!! Compliments to the chef and staff! The band was as electrifying as our plates!!!

Pros: Great Food, Exceptional Service, Best Live Entertainment

Love this place!

Whenever we come to Houston, we like to try new vegan places. But, we always come back to this one. Everything is always so wonderful, cool ambience, and great service. The MBB combo is always so good. Looks like a simple combo. But every item on the plate was put thoughtfully there. The sausage is house made, the grits are tasty and garlicky, your choice of tofu scramble or hash--can't go wrong, and even the toast is perfect with the elderberry jam. The breakfast quesadilla was filing, tasty and gooey. Their house hot sauces are so good we bought a couple to take home.

Comfort food

We went for lunch and tried the boudain sushi rolls as an appetizer. We were blown away by how delicious and creative they were. We also ordered the breakfast plate and a bowl of mushroom gumbo. Food was pricey ($20 for a bowl of gumbo) but worth it for a splurge. Also if you're sensitive to spice, ask the server in advance about what you're thinking of ordering. I was surprised that both the grits and the breakfast sausage were pretty spicy.

Best vegan pancakes ever

We eat here a LOT and love everything. Had to peach cobbler pancakes this week with sides of sausage and JUST Egg. Fluffy huge pancakes. They have peach cobbler, strawberry and cream, and pecan pie pancakes OR waffles. We have always had excellent service and are there about once a week. Love having a place we can get breakfast at 8 am. Too many vegan places here say they have breakfast but they don’t open before 10.

Lunch so good we went back that night for dessert

In town for a conference at the nearby medical center. Very easy to get here on the metro. We had the sweet potato hash (kale, quinoa, black beans), side of chik’n fried shrooms, and a bowl of Gumbo. The gumbo was the star. Amazing. Returned that night for dessert: donut stuffed with ice cream. Wanted to try everything on the menu and will have to come back!!

Black owned and all vegan

So many options! My girls (not vegan btw) and I went for my bday and got their flights to share/try. They brought me a strawberry pancake stack for my bday. Seasoned to perfection.

Came back on a Friday night. There’s live music. Options for brunch for dinner, and a ton of dinner options from dips, pizza flatbreads, burgers, pasta, and more.

NOT to be missed

We tried this WONDERFUL restaurant while in town for Taylor Swift, and it was incredible. We tried everything we could fit in; the pancake flight, breakfast tacos, sushi, crispy potatoes, artichoke dip, crispy chik’n-like mushrooms with waffles…my description simply can’t do it justice. Everything was flavorful, seasoned, indulgent. It’s expensive, but it has every right to be, this brunch was an OCCASION in its own right. The chai was perfectly spicy and house-made, the service was great, and this place was hopping on a rainy Sunday. Mo Better is END GAME. FIRST-STRING. A-TEAM. I hope I have literally any reason to come through HTX so I can get back.
