About us
Gotti’s was founded in 2021 by a local entrepreneur Irv “Gotti” Williams, a native Houstonian from Third Ward, Houston, Texas. Both of Irv’s parents are native Houstonians and fueled his entrepreneurial spirit at a young age. Irv’s love for Creole & Cajun food influenced the fusion of tastes you will experience at Gotti’s.
Irv attended Texas Southern University and was actively involved in the Jessie H.

While utilizing his advanced computer and programming skills, Irv began to thrive around campus and gained the nickname “Irv Gotti”.

You have to pay to park when coming here, as it is located not too far from Minute Maid park. I only paid $2 for the metered parking on the side of the restaurant.

We came here for Saturday brunch. I made an early reservation at 11 before the crowd came. Our waitress was very nice and she checked on us a lot. The drinks were good and the food was also. We had catfish and grits. And if you dont like your food heavily seasoned, this isn’t the dish for you. It was really good. I could tell this is a great place to celebrate birthdays as the big groups were coming in, and DJ was setting up, I knew they’d be having a good time.

Came in for brunch today and my husband and I were the second ones through the door. We expressed that it was our first time trying the place out. Our waitress gave us some recommendations. We had to wait almost an hour for our appetizers to come out. After ordering our appetizers it took our waitress about 15-20 mins to come back and check to see if we were ready to put in our order. We had the egg rolls, my husband liked them and I had the fried cauliflower which I enjoyed. I got the Shrimp and grits and my husband had the catfish and grits with an extra piece of catfish on the side. Safe to say the extra piece of catfish never made it to the table even after bringing it to our waitress attention. She brought my shrimp and grits to the table and expressed they forgot to add the cheese sauce and asked did I want it…ummm yes I want my meal like it’s advertised ma’am . Overall the food was good but the service could use some improvements. Before leaving the manger did offer to give us the side of catfish but we declined.

I was able to find a free parking spot on the street because it was after meter hours. The street was super busy so it was a little hard to parallel park, but doable.

This was my first time here at this restaurant and most likely my last time. My food was good but my friends not so much, the price of the food doesn’t match with the quality. And going durning brunch it’s a limited menu. The waiter we had was pleasant but the Manager was not, my friend had requested to speak to the Manager about the food she had received ( chicken & waffles ) she had noticed there was Feathers still on the chicken wings and she asked the manager do they all clean the chicken before frying because there was still feathers the Manager responded with a attitude and proceeded to say ” so was is it you want me to do”. Very unprofessional in my opinion. Lastly this establishment does not take any cash I highly recommend eating somewhere else.

Ehhh, I mean, it’s just OKAY! The vibe is decent. The DJ was just okay too (pretty lady though). The food, ehh, nothing to write home about (I’m fresh from the Breakfast Klub— so I could be comparing). No vegetarian or vegan options. The service was alright! The grits were really good! Probably won’t be back but glad I came to see what the hype was about!

Came on a weekday after the lunch hour rush, so there was no wait. We were immediately seated and placed our orders. Everything was delicious from the lemon drop martinis to the cajun boudin eggrolls to the main course. We had the colossal shrimp platter and the blackened catfish & shrimp w/dirty rice. Let’s not forget the Gotti Sauce. Flavor in every bite! Our waitress was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the weekly specials/events. Would definitely return and recommend.

The food is delicious just takes forever to receive it. The food taste like they took their time and it was Delicious! I had the lamb chops and grits! Drinks were horrible unfortunately, my drink tasted like it was watered down with no flavor. Dj Twerk is on point! Jam for sure

The food was delicious. The music was way to loud like it was a club not a restaurant. Waitress was awful. She brought our appetizer with our food and she came back to the table 3 times and never brought our utensils so that we could actually eat the food. I would go back though that’s just how good the food was.
