About Hearsay On The Green
On Dallas St in Houston, Hearsay On The Green serves Southern-inflected New American dishes in a space built around industrial elements. The eight-item menu includes Chicken Milanese and Tuscan Chicken Pasta, and bread pudding served hot with ice cream turns up regularly on the dessert side. A bar operates alongside the dining room, though it closes earlier on weeknights than on weekends. Reservations are recommended for the dining room, which stays open every day. Families with young children can make use of high chairs, and the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. Dogs are welcome on site, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout. For those eating off site, both takeaway and delivery are offered, with to-go orders also handled at the front host stand for guests passing through.

Customer Review Summary
The Chicken Milanese draws the most consistent praise, reviewers describing it as flavorful and well-paired with green beans, with the bread pudding close behind as a favorite dessert, served hot with melting ice cream. Several also single out the bacon wrapped shrimp, though one diner found the same dish overcooked with burnt bacon and dry shrimp, while another called the shrimp and grits mostly sauce with little grits. Cocktails like the Espresso Martini and Pear of Aces get repeated approval, though multiple reviewers flag the Old Fashioned as missing its advertised twist and drinks as pricey for the portion. Service is the most recurring complaint: many describe slow greetings, infrequent water refills, and servers who don't check back after food arrives. One reviewer reports a manager using profanity and appearing disengaged on the phone across two visits, and another describes a bartender who repeatedly served men at the bar while ignoring her. Positive accounts of large private events describe an accommodating planning staff and buffet setup that ran smoothly for a full restaurant buyout.

“My family and I dined here for my birthday and True provided the most exceptional service we had received in a very long time. He went out of his way ensure our comfort, while suggesting menu items that we should try. He made the entire …”

“The harvest salad was amazing! I went back two nights in a row. How do they make that warm goat cheese ball?! The service was fine, and the decor was nice. Both nights, they asked if we had reservations, and the second night they said there were no tables, even though there were some open while we waited for our to-go order. Still, it's definitely worth a visit!”

“Does everything what you expect from a well-run bar. Satisfactory & attentive customer service that is quick to serve, tasty cocktail options plus food, & and an immersive atmosphere. This place is regularly full even on weekdays, but despite that it’s not too noisy and you can easily have a conversation. Bartenders display excellent customer service and do not take too long to fulfill your orders. Cocktail options range from excellent craftsmanship of staples to a unique in-house spins of regular cocktail recipes. Unfortunately, they do close fairly early on the non-weekend days compared to other bars. Despite that, it’s a great place to have a drink.”
- Chris Aikens
“We came in for an early dinner ahead of an event at the Toyota Center. We were seated at a high top overlooking the rest of the dining room and bar, which filled up quickly as the evening continued. The service was good, though a larger event group impacted drink service at times. The Ahi Tuna Nachos are a must, we could have just eaten several orders of those and been impressed. The Tuscan Chicken Pasta was light with a blackened chicken that fit well with the veggies and sauce. The Cuban Sandwich was okay, the pork was too dry and underseasoned compared to the other ingredients. The Bread Pudding for dessert was a welcome finish to the meal, piping hot with ice cream melting as soon as the dish hit the table. As for drinks - I would skip the Old Fashioned if visiting again, as none of the extra twists that Hearsay advertised were noticeable. The Pear of Aces was refreshing, and the Espresso Martini was quite good, especially paired with the dessert!”
- Pete Pappas
“This Tuna nachos and chesesteak egg rolls were amazing. Steaks could have had a little more char on the outside but they were well seasoned and cooked well. Very tasty. The wait staff was friendly and on point. They did a great job. I would recommend for couples and larger events.”
