June 9, 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.

Don’t Skip the Skinny Fries at Grub Burger Bar

April 28, 2015 by

You can rest assured that anything you eat at Grub Burger Bar in The Woodlands has been carefully crafted in-house from fresh ingredients. That begins with its patties, a blend of chuck and brisket that the kitchen team grinds each morning. The burger buns take even more manpower, as they're pulled piping hot from the oven every single hour. Chefs create their own sauces and salad dressings, slice their own cheese, and generally tackle every other task they can on-site.

According to Yelp reviewers, you can taste the hard work in every bite. Even the skinny fries that accompany Grub's juicy burgers win rave reviews. Still, the burgers play a starring role at Grub. Try the classic Front Porch burger if you're only interested in the essentials: lettuce, tomato, mustard, and mayo. For something a bit more lavish, order the OMG. It's actually topped with the skinny fries, as well as a healthy portion of Texas chili, cheddar, chopped onions, and mustard.
