Local Table

"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

"With four locations around the Houston area, including this Garden Oaks/Oak Forest outpost, Local Table makes sure dining is a flavorful experience for all ages and diets. Adults can enjoy slow-braised short ribs, spinach artichoke dip, crab cakes, and vegetarian lemon pasta, while kids enjoy their own menu of diverse options, like a falafel ball “happy bowl,” cheeseburgers, pasta, and chicken tenders. The best part? You don’t have to forfeit your love of weekend brunch. Kids can chow down on French toast, breakfast quesadillas, and mini-chocolate chip waffles while grown-ups chill out with a mimosa flight or a glass of frosé." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Like its name suggests, Local Table prides itself on sourcing fresh, quality ingredients from local purveyors and offers a friendly space within the neighborhood for residents to dine. Salads and sandwiches are just the tipping point here. There are pasta bowls and entrees like chicken fried chicken and Mediterranean salmon proving that there is something for everyone. The casual restaurant also boasts a fully dedicated vegan menu featuring loaded veggie bowls and weekend brunch plates." - Megha McSwain

"Local Table, a Houston area restaurant known for its ample food options, will move its flagship to another location in Cinco Ranch this fall — offering its largest space yet. Located outside of the La Centerra shopping center at 24033 Cinco Ranch Boulevard, the 14,500-square-foot restaurant will feature a massive patio and the largest private dining room of all its outposts, seating 60 people. Cinco Ranch’s Local Table will also be the first location to host the “Local Bar” in conjunction with the restaurant, featuring an expanded cocktail menu and wine list." - Brittany Britto Garley
