The Barking Pig

2307 Ella Heights

713-701-9150

Pizza, Burgers, Salads, American, Sandwiches, Menu

The Barking Pig is a casual neighborhood bar and grill that leans more heavily on the bar end of the enterprise. Expect counter service, but feel free to grab a seat on the patio and have a runner bring your meal. With both the drinks and the food, it’s a good bet to keep things simple. The straightforward backyard cookout-style burgers are pleasant enough, as are the thin-crust pizzas. Stay away from anything that strays from the expectable model, like the truly disappointing ceviche. Don’t expect to be dazzled, but do expect to have a good time.

Biskit Junkie

403 Westheimer Montrose

713-688-1754

Breakfast, Brunch, Burgers, Salads, Sandwiches

Biskit Junkie is an all-day (till 3 p.m.) breakfast and brunch concept in the heart of Montrose. No liquor license means you won’t be enjoying bottomless mimosas with your eggs Benny, but they’re not that great in the first place. For the most part, sticking to simple things served on biscuits is the way to go here. Odd standouts include the surprisingly alluring breakfast salad and the chilaquiles. The former eats like a handful of greens run deliciously through every breakfast trope you can imagine, and the latter is a simple yet satisfying brunch dish elevated by the cliché addition of a handful of fried eggs. Be forewarned that parking can be a real bear.

Little Matt's

6203 Edloe St. Kirby-West U

713-592-6200

Burgers, Salads, Sandwiches, Tex-Mex, Best Of, Menu

To pick apart the food at Little Matt’s — a family-friendly joint on a smalltown street in West U — is to miss the bigger picture. Too often, taking kids out to eat means either struggling to extract decent behavior from your kids while the childless dining public glares at you, or else giving in to the soulsucking pandemonium of a disease vector disguised as a ball pit, and an animatronic animal band whose clangor will haunt your dreams. Little Matt’s is an altogether more affable pandemonium, in comparison. It like a restaurant for grownups, for one thing. This helps keep the noise level down, and the space is laid out in a way that discourages windsprints. It’s kind of like if Chuck E. Cheese’s didn’t rob you of your will to live, and the fact that it’s pretty easy on the wallet removes both insult and injury. You will want to bring along a sack of quarters, though; there’s an arcade in back, along with rows of freetoplay iPads bookending the space. Grab a margarita or a glass of wine, both compliments of the house, and a burger and let yourself, and your kids, unwind in a fashion remarkably civilized for a restaurant that caters to kids.

Newk's Eatery (Cypress)

25712 Northwest Freeway Cypress

281-758-1300

American, Pizza, Salads, Sandwiches, Menu

Newk’s Eatery is a fast-casual chain concept from Mississippi with four locations in the Houston area, focusing on sandwiches, salads and pizzas in an environment that feels like that of every other fast-casual chain restaurant on the planet. Where Newk’s occasionally differentiates itself is in the freshness and vibrancy of its food. While the pizzas and sandwiches feel either overwrought or under-filled, the salads often surprise. Peppery arugula, plump shrimp, creamy avocado and a zippy lemon basil vinaigrette combine in the delightful shrimp and avocado salad, which is so good you’ll be stuffing forkfuls into your sandwich and dredging leftover pizza bones through the bottom of the bowl. With most menu items, simpler is better. Avoid pizzas with too many toppings, which weigh down the ultra-thin crust and get lost in the mix, besides. If you’re looking for a sandwich, choose one with a melting cheese that will blanket the meat, protecting it from the drying heat of the impinger oven. Speaking of cheese, the Six Cheese Pimento Mac & Cheese with Bacon is worth a go, creamier and more robust than its thin-sauced five-cheese counterpoint. Don’t expect to be blown away by Newk’s, but do expect a few pleasant surprises.

State Fare

947 Gessner, Suite B190 Outer Loop - NW

832-831-0950

Burgers, Sandwiches, Salads, American, Seafood, Steakhouse, Southern

State Fare took over the Pour Society space rather abruptly, and that quick change comes across. While the bare drywall and dangling Ethernet cables are sure to be smoothed over, the menu could use some smoothing as well. Good ideas abound, but execution stumbles keep the food from delivering consistently. Shrimp and grits features excellent seafood and sauce but lackluster grits, while the flagship Hicksburger and its listless chicken-fried french fries just don’t deliver. The gumbo would be great if the kitchen toned down the hyper-aggressive salt. The bone-in rib eye, though expensive, is delicious, with an aggressive crust and bold, beefy flavor. Try a Pimms Cup for a gingery riff with a lovely note of fresh strawberry. An appealingly written menu and a wonderful staff keep the place filled with families who appreciate a civilized night out in a place where they are made to feel welcome right alongside date nights and business dinners.
