"One of several notable new brunch additions to the city this spring, arriving on lists of places locals are eager to try for late-morning service." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Brunch enthusiasts who also love Houston’s patio season will feel right at home at Leeland House. The EaDo restaurant and bar recently launched a new brunch menu, featuring deep-fried brioche French toast, honey chicken biscuits served with spiced maple syrup and crispy potatoes, and a brisket hash created in collaboration with neighboring barbecue joint J-Bar-M. But it gets better. There are cocktails galore, with drinks like the Eastside Crush (vodka, lime, strawberry, basil), all offered at happy hour prices on weekends, plus coffee drinks for those who prefer a caffeinated kick. The patio also gets live on weekends, with DJ sets from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Built to withstand an unrelenting crush of boozy brunch-goers, Leeland House in East Downtown is mostly a sprawling, multi-level patio disguised as a restaurant. Sure, there’s a house where you order at the counter, but the plant-screened patio is where you want to be. You can easily show up here with as many or as few people as you want, and immediately stake a claim over any outside cluster of tables, like some kind of brunch-level Risk strategy. Food and drinks arrive at your small table-island nation almost suspiciously fast, and everything includes bacon, even the french toast." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"A local restaurant where Joseph Boudreaux previously worked, contributing to his culinary experience." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Mostly a sprawling patio that happens to have an adjoining counter-service breakfast and lunch restaurant, Leeland House is built to withstand an unrelenting crush of boozy brunch-goers. Order skillets of smoky potato hash with brisket or eggs benedict with smashed avocado and soft poached eggs. The food gets to your table suspiciously fast, and every plate appears to have some kind of bacon—even the creme brulee french toast. You can easily show up here with as many or as few people as you like." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
