The Hit List: New Houston Restaurants To Try Right Now

"Refurbished historic buildings are rare in Houston, especially ones with excellent breakfast and some of the best fried chicken and waffles in town. But that’s exactly what the second location of Dandelion Cafe offers. The menu includes housemade sausage stuffed into extra large and extra spicy omelets, crispy chicken with spiced butter waffles, and fresh baked goods like soft chocolate chip cookies and croissants. And its location in The Heights' renovated clock tower building makes grabbing a mid-day brunch or working from home on the patio extra cute. Like you’re hanging out in a small town square instead of a few blocks from 610 traffic." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
