That's partly the reason for the amicable split between he and a his partner Kevin Floyd. Floyd wanted to open restaurants with Chris Shepherd, not only bars. http://houston.culturemap.com/news/restaurants-bars/11-19-18-new-heights-restaurant-bobby-heugel-justin-yu-southern-goods-19th-street/ It will be a restaurant.

s3mh Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Mastrantos is having its soft opening and is currently serving breakfast for fans of arepas. Kolache Shoppe will open in the next few days. Looks like they are doing dress rehearsals right now. La Grande Rue has signs of life with a holiday box offering, but no sign of an opening yet.

s3mh Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Bacco in the Heights is coming to the 1400 block of Yale St. I believe the street number is 1426. It is in a bungalow on the east side of the street. They are currently putting in a porch out front with a TABC notice on the door. This is the same Bacco as Bacco on the Bayou. Now that the dry zone is history, you can potentially have a pub crawl on Yale St. Well, more like a wine bar and craft whiskey bar crawl. Maggie May's Coffee is coming to the strip center across the street from Hugs and Donuts (the preferred point of reference for everyone in the Heights with little kids). This will be part of another location for Black Dog Records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwood Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Anyone know what is planned for the renovated house on the NWC of 15th and Yale (201 W 15th)? The renovation looks great and seems like it could be a restaurant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Happy All Cafe is closing. Property will be redeveloped. I had assumed that Savoir/La Grande Rue would use Happy All's lot for parking. Makes me wonder a bit about what is going on with that one. I peaked in the window the other day and it looks like a fair amount of work is left to be done. Savoir had a pop up dinner at Mastrantos last week. But I have not seen a lot of work going on at the location on Yale. Maybe I am just being overly sensitive in anticipation, as other places had very long roads to hoe with the city and construction delays.

Another zero-setback building (though I don't think this one will survive). If we can't get the city to re-stripe Yale to 3 lanes, normalizing street parking on Yale may be the next best thing for accident reduction.

s3mh Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Verdine is now open. Very snappy decor for a casual vegan restaurant. Nice to see as so many vegan places are little holes in the wall. Balls Out Burger has closed. Never went there. So, cannot tell whether it was just lame or whether we are getting to saturation on certain offerings.

B-O-B was good, but the spot was a bit random and I didnt think it had the best execution, space wise... Seems like the space is more ice-house like than a burger place. Still... sad to see it go.

I never tried their food, but from the people I worked with and some reviews I read, it seems like there was much to be desired. Every time I drove home, weekday or weekend, their parking lot was almost always empty with the food truck being the only vehicle on the property. The traffic wasn't non-existent on most days. Another sign profits were low was the state of the building. I believe someone tried breaking in 6-12 months ago through the glass door at the entrance, and they fixed the problem by taping it up. Someone else, later on, smashed through the fence with their car on the northern point of the lot and they never got around to fixing that section. Really sad to see a restaurant go, but I figured it was only a question of "when" this one would close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3mh Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Maryam's Cafe on 19th st appears to be gone. Building has been gutted. No permit sign in the window for the interior demo. So, no bread crumbs to follow. I thought the owners of Maryam's were going to be developing the spot next door where the junk dealer used to be. But nothing has happened over there yet. I am surprised Maryam's lasted as long as it did, assuming that the restaurant has closed and is not renovating (which seems like a safe assumption). The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't even close to be competitive with the many other breakfast and lunch offerings in the Heights. It is a great space for a restaurant. Hopefully something better is on the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) I never heard anyone express much more than a lukewarm recommendation at best regarding Maryam's (never ate there myself). I liked Cricket's Creamery and Coffee, who occupied the space previously. Edited August 25, 2019 by mkultra25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what I was expecting in Houston's hyper foodie driven restaurant market. But it might do well with those who just want something simple and good.

Common Bond at the Waterworks as seen almost no progress for months but just recently went into overdrive and looks like it could be open in December. Burger Joint built a parking lot with no drainage (or drainage to be added soon). It would make for a nice duck pond at this point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
