Some of you probably saw permits and a TDLR filing for Dinette last year. It's a restaurant signed on to operate at Braun Enterprise's Shepherd Row in the Heights retail center (1002 N Shepherd Dr - 1028 N Shepherd Dr). Dinette is a dining concept from the proprietors of Hando, the sushi restaurant specializing in temaki (hand rolls) in the Heights (518 W 11th St).

Recently, more details about Dinette have been revealed. It will be a contemporary Vietnamese restaurant, according to job listings posted in last few weeks. Dinette is slated to open this summer at 1018 N Shepherd Dr.

The restaurant updated its Instagram account created last year to include a bio and profile photo displaying the eatery's logo. Dinette also launched a website.

I don't know if the site plan for Shepherd Row in the Heights is up to date or not. It  shows remaining available units and tenants currently operating there. 

One tenant shown as a possible new leasee is cookie purveyor Pudgy's. It's an online retailer and pop-up shop that mostly does business in the Greater Heights.

Pudgy's has been listed on the site plan since either late 2021 or early 2022. I can't recall when I saw the addition when Braun Enterprise released an updated site plan.

Shepherd Row in the Heights is located at 1002-1028 N Shepherd Dr).

CultureMap provided an update regarding Dinette yesterday. It's the only mention of it from any of the local news publications so far (and yes, all the other publications covering Houston's dining culture has known about this place for months, yet no reporting):

 

Dinette - The team behind Hando is working on this Vietnamese restaurant that will open in the same Heights shopping center as Crawfish Cafe later this summer.

Local cookie purveyor Pudgy's opened their brick-and-mortar cookie shop at Shepherd Row in the Heights. The shop held its grand opening last week. Pudgy's is located at 1010 N Shepherd Dr.

E-commerce business and popular pop-up Underground Creamery moved its production operations to Shepherd Row in the Heights. The ice cream shop shares a space with Pudgy's at 1010 N Shepherd Dr. Pints of ice cream are available for purchase and pick-up via a pick-up window at the shop.

News about Underground Creamery operating at Shepherd Row in the Heights was shared in the Houston Heights Foodies group on Facebook fall of 2021, following an Instagram announcement from property owner/developer Braun Enterprises. However, both posts were removed after Underground Creamery's Josh DeLeon complained in the group about the move not being true, despite Braun Enterprises being the landlord (and would be the ones to know since it's their property and sign up tenants).  

Fast forward to 2022, and clearly the news shared last year was true (though, I think the 2021 Facebook post claimed Underground Creamery would open an ice cream shop alongside Pudgy's move to the shopping center). DeLeon shared the move publicly on Underground Creamery's Instagram in April. It's possible he wanted to share the news on his own terms and timeline (though, his landlord already let the cat out of the bag). 

There's more in an article from Houston Chronicle published in June.

More details from a Houston Chronicle article published today:
