"The Stomping Grounds already makes for an enjoyable outing any time of the week thanks to its variety of establishments. There’s sandwich shop Luloo’s Day N Night, La Mex, and ice cream shop Fat Cat Creamery, in addition to its 10,000-square-foot communal green space. But this year, the grounds have branched out with its After Hours series. Wednesday through Saturday, starting at 8 p.m., the grounds transform into an adult playground with a rotation of drink and dining specials, music, live entertainment, steak nights, and more. Check the Stomping Grounds website for a calendar of events and more info." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Grab an ice cream cone from Fat Cat Creamery, a sandwich from Luloo’s Day & Night, or a rice and chicken plate from Rooster & Rice, and then settle in for a spectacular Lunar New Year performance from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, January 29. Himari will bring in the Year of the Snake with $25 Bento Boxes for those dining in, and Pho Fix will join the fun with free appetizers, fortune cookies, gift cards, and red envelopes filled with anywhere from $1 to $100. At 7 p.m., the Houston Shaolin Kung Fu Academy performs traditional lion dances on the Stomping Grounds’s green space." - Marcy de Luna
"From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesdays, the Stomping Grounds unleashes an international steak night you won’t want to miss. Local restaurants, including Oh My Gogi, Luloo’s Day N Night, sushi restaurant Himari, the Pho Fix, and La Mex, participate in the deal, meaning diners can indulge in Vietnamese steak and eggs with pho pate, carne asada and enchiladas, sizzling American wagyu with fried rice, Korean marinated steak, and rib-eye smoked by some of Houston’s best pitmasters all in one place. No passports required." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Stomping Grounds fit the bill when searching for a place where one can dine al fresco with plenty of nearby options. The mixed-use development in Garden Oaks features 10 dining and drinking establishments, including Luloo’s Day & Night, which serves sandwiches built with freshly baked breads, Oh My Gogi, which dishes out a fusion of Korean and Mexican cuisines, and local ice cream shop Fat Cat Creamery, plus the colorful High Five Mini Bar, which serves cocktails. While there’s plenty of shade, the grounds’s green space is the prime hangout spot for special events, lounging, and child’s play." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Family-friendly restaurants: Head to the Stomping Grounds to grab sandwiches made with freshly baked bread." - Brittany Britto Garley
