Festooned in floral prints and bouquets as far as the eye can see comes this oh-so-charming new eatery, Little Hen, in the River Oaks District. With its flagship location in Miami, this marks Little Hen's foray into the Texas market, and we are here for it. After all, with menu offerings including rose petal pancakes, bananas Foster and bourbon-battered French toast, one cannot go wrong. 4444 Westheimer Road

At this peaceful retreat along Buffalo Bayou, grab a seat on one of the patios for scenic views of lush greenery and a serene waterfall. If you’re going for steak, order the wagyu strip, but if small plates are more your style, try the roasted oysters or the shrimp remoulade. Pro tip: Topping it off with one of Brenner’s decadent souffles is always a good idea. 1 Birdsall St., 713.868.4444

Hugo’s

Le Peep prides themselves on great taste, Texas-sized portions and, of course, excellent service. Don't miss out on crowd favorites like the Gooey Buns (think an English muffin broiled with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter, topped with toasted almonds), Houstonian Skillet with grilled chicken, mushrooms and broccoli, served in a potato filled skillet with creamy hollandaise sauce drizzled on top with two basted eggs, the granola almond pancakes and much, much more. 9807 Katy Fwy., 713.783.7337

In Midtown, fans rightfully queue for an hour on weekends for a plate of waffles and wings or fried catfish and grits with eggs. The kitchen also does a mighty fine chicken salad at lunch. 3711 Travis St., 713.528.8561
