In Houston, brunch allows you to combine the best of both worlds; you can get breakfast tacos and biscuits with barbecue and boudin, but more importantly, you can get all these delicious breakfast-lunch combos with booze before noon.

Biscuits ‘N Gravy

The Hobbit Cafe

This beautiful oak-shaded restaurant is the embodiment of legendary writer JRR Tolkien’s opening lines to The Hobbit, “It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.” At The Hobbit Cafe you’ll find comfort is abundant. Enjoy a laid-back atmosphere and $3.50 mimosas, bellinis and bloody Marys. Make sure to try out one of their specialty pancakes served with delicious maple syrup.

Pondicheri

Pondicheri is the type of establishment that is difficult to describe because there’s nothing quite like it. It’s a delicious fusion of Texan and Indian cuisine that surprises your taste buds in the most delightful ways with every meal. Pondicheri offers a bold, eclectic selection of fresh coffee and teas that go perfectly with their outstanding baked goods from the “bakery lab.” Pondicheri is not just among the best brunches in Upper Kirby but one of the best in the city. For a unique experience, try The Morning Thali, a traditional variety plate filled with flavor.
