Le Peep is one of those Houston things that us born-and-raised Houstonians take for granted, you know? It’s just always there for a casual breakfast or quick lunch. But an expanding River Oaks District threatened that longstanding Le Peep on Westheimer until it found a new spot just down the street. The new, swankier Le … Continue reading
Like Beyonce, we’re all waking up flawless, so why should we settle for anything less for our most important meal of the day? Houston is a town with amazzzzinnnggg brunch (we all knew that), but, is it just me, or are more and more restaurants feeling like eating good 7 days a week with fancy … Continue reading
We’ve quite literally brunched across America (even battled between the East and the West coasts), but we hadn’t yet brunched at Pax Americana right here in Houston. We’ve fixed that. Pax Americana is one of those places you’ve driven past a thousand times but never even thought about visiting (or at least, it was for me). … Continue reading
You’d really think I’d be over Heights houses turned into cute businesses, but I’m so not. I had high hopes for EQ Heights because it’s really cute, and I love coffee. We went for a brunch (not a full-fledged brunch club outing; just a quick b-fast). While it didn’t completely check all my brunch boxes, … Continue reading
In case you haven’t heard there is a new brunch spot on the Houston restaurant scene: Snooze. Located at the corner of Montrose and Westheimer, this new spot has been packed since the day it opened. For better or worse, Snooze is doing great business but its popularity makes it difficult AF to get a … Continue reading
This past weekend, I had the ultimate Sunday Funday: TWO BRUNCHES. I believe it’s what the young people call heaven. Just like all good things, it took preparation. My strategy was as follows: Get hungry. Starve even! Pick casual spots (maybe with an a la carte menu). Skip the cocktails (pricy and saves calories). Keep … Continue reading
What: Fountain View Cafe Where: A pretty nondescript strip center next to the fabulous HEB on Fountain View and San Felipe (more specifically, 1842 Fountain View Dr.) Why: “Home style cooking so good you’ll slap your mama!” Bold statement. Simple restaurant. Yet, very true. The deets: Fountain View Cafe is definitely a no frills breakfast and lunch place. You … Continue reading
Houston’s brunch game continues to be strong. Seriously, show me a new trendy restaurant that DOESN’T have a brunch menu (or plans to roll one out). Brunching is all the rage, and we’re thankful for that, since it provides us ENDLESS restaurants to try each week. Proof. Even though it seems like everyone spends their Sundays … Continue reading
Bernadine’s. The newest addition to the Treadsack restaurant family is open and has started serving brunch! We hit up Bernadine’s on the first brunch weekend to check out the Gulf Coast cuisine restaurant in the Heights (yes that means there was a lot of fish on the menu). PSA: Other #ItsNotHou adventures at Treadsack restaurants include dinner at Foreign … Continue reading

#BrunchKlub took a trip far, far away to London, er well, the Houston Heights, but to the new Britain-inspired restaurant Hunky Dory. It’s an adorable restaurant that opened a few weeks ago. It’s got a great outdoor patio with heaters, a cozy bar area, and plenty of tables that can fit big groups. Having dined … Continue reading
