William P. Hobby Airport

Houston’s Hobby Airport Will Welcome 20 New Restaurants | Eater Houston

"Following Pappas’ departure, Hobby Airport is undertaking a major dining overhaul: the new contracts are slated to bring about 20 dining and retail establishments by late 2024, and the airport has already introduced eight temporary dining options while five chain restaurants (Chick‑Fil‑A, Buffalo Wild Wings, Peet’s Coffee & Tea, Wendy’s, and Starbucks) remain open. I noted the airport is adding Houston-area favorites such as Killen’s Barbecue, Fat Cat Creamery, Common Bond Cafe, Pink’s Pizza, and Spindletap Brewery; outposts of Pink’s Pizza and Hubcap Bar & Grill plus Gastrohub Bistro & Bar, Streat and Streat Bar, Pick Up Stix, and Latrelle’s Mexican Kitchen are now open, with nearly 20 more on the way. The move—prompted after City Council approved a 10‑year, $470 million concession deal with Areas USA and a separate 10‑year contract with LaTrelle’s Management—is projected to bring in over $10 million in revenue and to inject more local flavor into an airport dining scene that was previously sparse or dominated by national chains." - Brittany Britto Garley
