The 21 Best Houston Patios

"The Stomping Grounds fit the bill when searching for a place where one can dine al fresco with plenty of nearby options. The mixed-use development in Garden Oaks features 10 dining and drinking establishments, including Luloo’s Day & Night, which serves sandwiches built with freshly baked breads, Oh My Gogi, which dishes out a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisines, and local ice cream shop Fat Cat Creamery, plus the colorful High Five Mini Bar, which serves cocktails. While there’s plenty of shade, the grounds’s green space is the prime hangout spot for special events, lounging, and child’s play." - Brittany Britto Garley
