"Sometimes confused with Local Foods, this fast-growing local restaurant chain has five outposts in Houston, in Garden Oaks, Cypress, Katy, the Woodlands, and Fulshear, and deserves praise for having its own distinct charm. Its relaxed family-friendly atmosphere is a major draw, as is the quality farm to table menu, which incorporates many local meat and produce purveyors, and an impressive weekend brunch. Its all-day hours, seven days a week, make it the quintessential neighborhood gem." - Megha McSwain
