"What originated as a whiskey-fueled restaurant in Newport Beach, California now offers its lively atmosphere in the Woodlands with plenty of opportunities to eat and drink boozily. Its diverse brunch runs the gamut of savory and sweet, with Fruity Pebbles French Toast, loaded nacho fries, and loco moco, while dinner promises sumptuous dinners like 12-hour-braised beef short rib served with a black pepper sauce, mashed potatoes, and seasonal greens. Seats on the 800-square-foot patio overlooking Market Street are coveted, but inside is just as picturesque. The restaurant’s whiskey library and champagne wall serve as attractive backdrops for your next Instagram grid photo." - Laura L. Green, Brittany Britto Garley
"At Bosscat Kitchen and Libations Woodlands and River Oaks locations, you don’t have to wait for the weekend for brunch. Offered daily from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., diners can enjoy short rib chilaquiles, peach cobbler waffles, and exciting concoctions like the Fruity Pebbles French toast made with bacon, a condensed milk glaze, and fresh berries. Mimosas, available by the glass or carafe, are a classic choice, but the “breakfast in bed” shot is a surefire way to get your weekend off to an interesting start." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Deal: Three-course dinner at $55 per person. Why We Like It: Restaurants in River Oaks aren’t exactly known for their affordability, so when a three-course dinner for $55 a head pops up, it’s best to head on over. During HRW, swing by the Southern-style restaurant Bosscat Kitchen for a three course dinner, and be sure to finish off your meal with a drink that involves something from their whiskey room." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
