If you love cheese boards and drinking wine then this is your place. The setup is you choose your cheeses or meats based on the season and much of the selections are from local sources.
The Cheese Bar (Closed)
Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette
Liberty Kitchen is located in the heart of Houston Heights, a hip area much like the Montrose area. This establishment provides excellent seafood with a southern and new-American flair. I recommend the amazing fish sandwich or their seafood platters.
Baba Yega Cafe (Temporarily Closed)
One of Montrose best restaurants and is often known for their Sunday brunch and organic American dining. For those who are vegan, their menu is quite extensive and will definitely not disappoint.
Grimaldi’s Pizza (First Colony)
Grimaldi’s Pizza is hands down the best pizza in the entire US and is authentic New York style pizza. In fact, they are a chain that started in New York and expanded to a few locations in Texas. I have never been disappointed in their pizza and I absolutely love the fact that their pizza is always cooked in a coal brick oven.
Constellation Field
Home field of the Sugar Land Space Cowboys and the Houston Astros Triple A affiliate team. The stadium is relatively new and a great place to see a baseball game for everyone and prices are very reasonable for a family of four.
Red Robin Review (Closed)
Red Robin is a national chain that has remained consistently good over the years and the food is still quite good. The thing they are most famous for is their bottomless fries and delicious burgers. Their menu is quite huge and they have a great drink menu as well.
Hoggs N’ Chicks Review (Closed)
Hoggs N’ Chicks is locally owned and a reasonably priced restaurant providing more than just pork and chicken items. Their menu is quite expansive for an order at the counter type restaurant and they provide excellent customer service. Also, remember to have room for desert, their cobbler is quite excellent.
Jupiter Pizza & Waffle Review
Jupiter Pizza & Waffle is owned by the same owners as Guru Burger and quite a unique fusion of Belgian waffles and pizza. They are known for the Southern Belle, crispy fried chicken served over a Belgian waffle. If pizza or waffles aren’t what you’re into, they also have great salads and skillet meals.
Saddlehorn Winery Review
Brenham, TX is about 75 miles northwest of Houston and is home to several great wineries. Of the wineries, Saddlehorn Winery is the area’s best and newest winery. They are known for their Red and Black Spanish wines. Staff is very friendly and the wine tasting area is quite spacious. Also, they sell a nice cheese tray that compliments the wines well and something that Pleasant Hill doesn’t offer.
Dish Society Review
Dish Society is a great place for a meal that offers fresh ingredients that are grown and farmed locally. They are known for great salads and food items that will satisfy vegans and meat eaters alike. One point of interest is the Brisket Stuffed Sweet Potato, this is quite big and definitely worth a try. Also, they have a great alcoholic menu with a nice selection of cocktails and wines.
