HOUCAJUN Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 There's nothing wrong with a little healthy competition. I hope the competition between Uptown and Downtown is as competitive as the Cavaliers vs the Warriors. In the end, we as Houstonians and our wonderful visitors will be the winners. I'm really curious about this update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 ^^^ @astros148 pssst... hey you, my cool pal, is it just me, or does it seem as though you are starting to have a lot of fun with these impromptu RC revelations? look, there had better be some all important 100% beef in those "updates / details" that you are contemplating... as i am starting to detox for my badly needed RC fix. additionally, could the project for downtown be the new development high above the GRB? inquiring minds.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 More details revealed on the Galleria's new Nobu, Fig & Olive Quote Two high-end restaurants have confirmed more details about their first Houston locations. Nobu, a wildly popular sushi restaurant, and New York-based Fig & Olive will open in fall 2017 in the Galleria mall, according to a statement from Indianapolis-based Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG). Both will be located in the former Saks Fifth Avenue space that is being remodeled after Saks’ new Galleria location opened in April. A Nobu representative confirmed in June that the restaurant planned to open in the Galleria, but few details were available at the time. This is Nobu's first location in Houston and second in Texas. It will occupy a second-level, 10,000-square-foot space with private elevator access, according to the release. New York-based RKF brokered the transaction. Fig & Olive, an upscale French Riviera restaurant, will open its first location in Texas. It plans to occupy a street-level spot in an approximately 7,000-square-foot space. Nobu has locations in New York, California, Las Vegas, Florida and Hawaii, as well as a Dallas location. It also has several international locations. Fig & Olive has multiple locations in New York and California, as well as one each in Chicago and Washington, D.C. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 I so wanted to not like Shake Shack due to the hype, but hot damn, for what it is, it's a really good burger. Like it a lot more than In & Out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monarch Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 ^^^ totally cool, very happy that it's finally here! however, what on earth are "CONCRETES"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctaf Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Concretes are like a dairy queen blizzard, at least that's the best way I can describe it. They take the frozen custard, add your preferred mix-ins, such as fruit or candy, then mix it with a machine and serve. So you can get the frozen custard plain, as a sundae which is the mix-ins on top, or concrete, which is the extra stuff all mixed in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drecey Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 It was good. A little overhyped, but it was waaaay better than in and out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Oh, boy! I remember being dragged by my brother to Shake Shack almost daily for about a week when we had one nearby. He was positively hooked on the SmokeShack burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triton Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Gotta say I really enjoyed the burgers. Kind of hard for me to pick between this and Hopdoddy though.

gene Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I LOVED IT! The burgers have a great char-grilled flavor and one warning is they are a little on the small side so i definitely recommend getting the double! The concrete i got was the CupCake Crunch one that was made with a Fluff Bake Bar (Cup|cake Crunch (vanilla frozen custard, fudge sauce, Fluff Bake Bar devil’s food cake with pretzel crunch and caramel buttercream)...OMG! I love love love this place being pretty much directly across the street from where i live...it's exactly what the Galleria needed in my opinion! I have been twice already and i have a feeling it will be a once to twice a week stop for me! (maybe more...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) All right.... Hopdoddy or Shake Shack? GO! Edited November 8, 2016 by Triton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 i have been to both multiple times at this point and honestly i like both... i like the flavor of the meat patty at Shake Shack better but Hopdoddy has the awesome Terlingua Burger which i love...maybe because the Galleria offers so many options for food, the lines haven't been as long at Shake Shack and it doesn't feel as crowded as Hopdoddy (although admittedly i go to both at "off" hours to avoid crowds (lunch before noon or after 2pm or dinner at 530 or after 9pm etc)). While i like the fries better at Hopdoddy, I like the concretes (custard desserts) at Shake Shack better than the shakes at Hopdoddy. but again, both have their merits! thankfully there is room enough in houston for both!
