"When Justin Yu and Bobby Heugel debuted their modern European restaurant in 2019, it made a big splash amongst the neighborhood’s discerning diners, and it continues to shine. Dishes like baked oysters with caviar and potato crisps match the restaurant’s casual, fun ambiance, while an extensive martini menu provides ample ways to enjoy the quintessential refresher. Consider visiting for weekend brunch for mainstays like Dutch baby pancakes, lobster rolls, and oyster mushroom hash." - Brianna Griff
"Squable exists as a reminder to all why Houston should be considered one of the great food destinations of America. And that, as a city, we can achieve great things, like going to the moon or birthing Beyoncé. Come here for an incredible brunch punctuated by hashbrown towers dripping in hollandaise. Or a special dinner that starts with acid-punched oysters, moves into agnolotti pillows in savory broth next to funky raclette burgers, and ends with toasted pan de mie topped with ice cream. No matter the occasion, the food at Squable makes it even more special." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"This Heights restaurant offers a strong selection of small plates leading into showstopping mains. Opt for a cold start with the chicken liver pate with its seasonal jam and focaccia, or go for something warm like the black truffle beef fat tater tots; the roasted sweet potato with pork belly, honey butter, and black garlic; or the pumpkin ricotta dumplings. Then, dig into an entree like its very shareable pot of tender oxtails, served with Charleston gold rice, or the famed French cheeseburger smothered in raclette cheese, which can be selfishly devoured on one’s own. Brunch is also a full affair here, with buttermilk drop biscuits, a top-notch breakfast “sammie” with maple sausage, scrambled egg, and hashbrown, and a breakfast pappardelle bolognese topped with a fried egg. Must-try dish: The Dutch baby pancake with bacon and maple syrup." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Squable is another link in the constellation of bars and restaurants from the people behind Better Luck Tomorrow, Anvil, Theodore Rex, and Refuge. The casual neighborhood restaurant combines a multitude of references with American food for dinner and brunch—neither of which we can get enough of. Every dish here is nostalgic, comforting, and somehow novel at the same time. Make a reservation for a window-lit booth during golden hour, sidle up to the bar for brunch, or just hang out on the covered patio." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"Brunch at Squable in The Heights is somehow both over the top and classy all at the same time. We recommend sitting at the polished brass bar (to get drinks faster). Start with a giant boat of spongy focaccia slathered in ragu and a fried egg, or a tiny mountain of hash browns smothered in au poivre hollandaise and trout roe. And, because the restaurant is so pretty and the drinks are served in fancy glassware, ordering more food than is physically possible doesn’t feel like an unhinged choice." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
