"This creamy soup offers spoonful after spoonful of chunky bits of clams and potatoes and is elevated by the bread-y vessel it is served in. Fortunately, the joy of slurping BB Lemon’s New England clam chowder out of a freshly baked bread bowl can be had at the restaurant or in the comfort of your own home. Both the chowder and bowl are packaged separately, ensuring the bread doesn’t get soggy. Other soups fit for the winter weather include chili topped with cheese and raw onions, French onion soup, and tomato bisque." - Megha McSwain
"In addition to nostalgic comfort eats like patty melts and root beer floats, BB Lemon features a quarter-pound wagyu beef hot dog, slathered in Creole mustard and sprinkled with dill pickle and raw onions. Have it the classic way for $8, or for a couple of dollars more, upgrade to the decadent chili cheese dog." - Brittanie Shey, Megha McSwain
"Typically served with a flurry of powdered sugar, beignets get a savory upgrade at this Washington Avenue eatery. Stuffed with tender jumbo blue crab and mascarpone cheese, these beignets are fried to golden-brown perfection every single time. Exposed claws add a visual flourish, and make each beignet a little bit easier to dip." - Megha McSwain
"Traditional diner food and comfort classics get a ritzy upgrade at this Washington Avenue spot, where the hot dogs are built with ¼ pound of wagyu beef, and the hearty pork schnitzel served with brown butter spaetzle is almost too pretty to eat. Save room for old fashioned desserts like banana pudding and New York-style cheesecake. Order delivery from BB Lemon on Favor and DoorDash, or call or order online for curbside pick-up." - Megha McSwain
"More of a dream come true than a nightmare, BB Lemon’s The Nightmare on Washington Spooky Drag Show combines food and drink specials, a costume contest with prizes, and music by DJ Melodic featuring performances by some of Houston’s top talent on the patio beginning at 9 pm on Saturday, October 31st. Call 713-554-1809 to make a reservation." - Megha McSwain
