Try Hubbell & Hudson Kitchen for Modern Comfort Food

September 24, 2015 by

Once you bite into your meal at Hubbell & Hudson Kitchen, you'll likely understand what all the buzz is about. Food critics have said that Chef Austin Simmons is in the "upper echelon" of Texas chefs, and customers say that a meal here is simultaneously elegant and relaxed.

The kitchen specializes in dishes that combine unique, modern preparations with familiar flavors and foods reminiscent of the meals that Mom and Grandma used to make. Try, for example, the apricot-glazed turkey meatloaf, served with caramelized onions, spinach, and button mushrooms, and add a side of parmesan and white cheddar mac and cheese topped with a dash of Tabasco. There's also a fun build-your-own menu option where you choose your base meat, add a spice rub, a dipping sauce, and a side dish. Flatbread pizzas, burgers, and a soup and salad bar round out the offerings at this popular eatery.

Yucatan Taco Stand and Tequila Bar: Latin Fusion Fare Comes North of the Border

September 3, 2015 by

Thanks to Yucatan Taco Stand and Tequila Bar, The Woodlands eaters don't have to cross the border for fresh, authentic Latin cuisine. They can just head to this colorful taqueria, inspired by the sights, sounds, and flavors of the traditional taco stand.

It should come as no surprise that Yucatan is best known for its tacos, but many customers also highly recommend the nachos. They come five different ways, with toppings like garlic beef, tequila-lime chicken, and pork. The crunchy chips, medley of gooey cheeses, and blend of veggies on top remain the same no matter which variety you order. Munch on the nachos while you warm up for a plate of tempura fish tacos or a spicy aged chorizo burrito. You can also dig into a signature entree, such as the tilapia with a lemony chardonnay sauce or a Brazilian steak smothered with chimichurri sauce.

Tewbeleaux’s: Bountiful Beverages and Bayou-Worthy Grub

August 27, 2015 by

Inspired by the youthful competitive spirit of two-hand touch football once played by a young Chip Jackson, Tewbeleaux’s founder, this popular Spring sports bar and grill mixes up the rules by offering creative Cajun-inspired cuisine in addition to the casual bar fare classics.

For a taste of New Orleans, try the crawfish smothered in classic Creole etouffee sauce on top of white rice, or order the popular Andouille sausage dog, topped with blackened chicken, veggies, cheese, and Creole mustard. Like any sports bar worth its salt, Tewbeleaux’s has no shortage of chicken wings, tossed in your choice of sauce. Wash it all down with a signature cocktail or one of the 20 brews on draft.

A destination for local Spring sports fans, on any given night Tewbeleaux’s is powering more TVs than an electronic superstore and, of course, all in crisp high-def. Customers can also play a shoot pool, throw darts, and even play video games. The ambiance at Tewbeleaux's is boisterous and fun, but the dining room is clean and well-maintained.

Join in on the fun 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.

You can rest assured that anything you eat at Grub Burger Bar in The Woodlands has been carefully crafted in-house from fresh ingredients.
