    Buy Me Brunch

    New Montrose location of comfort food eatery now dishing up brunch

    Aug 28, 2019 | 11:15 am

    Montrose diners, get ready for great news: Not only is the newest location of B.B. Lemon now open, it's serving brunch and its famous Lemon Hour.

    Brunch aficionados can now indulge in blue crab beignets, banana pudding French toast, and crawfish hash, in addition to the famous Texas wagyu beef cheeseburgers and oysters on the half shell.

    Available Saturday and Sunday, brunch also features cocktails, such as the traditional Bloody Mary (with a house-made mix and seasoned salt) and mimosas by the glass or carafe with your choice of orange, blood orange, or grapefruit. There are also classics such as the Corpse Reviver and Blushing Italian (you can see the full menu here).

    The signature Lemon Hour happy hour is on, too, every Monday through Friday from 3-6 pm. During those magic hours you can get $8 craft cocktails, $4 beers, and $2 off wines by the glass.

    A hefty smattering of snacks are specially priced, including pistachio-crusted fried shrimp with mixed greens ($8), Frito pie with house-made beer cheese ($6), root beer-braised pulled pork sliders with slaw ($7), crispy cauliflower with chili tahini sauce ($6), Texas wagyu hot dogs ($6), chicken fried pickle spears ($5), lemon chicken salad wrap ($6), and deviled eggs ($5).

    B.B. Lemon Montrose opened in early July in the former Pax Americana space at 4319 Montrose, and has the same vibe as its sister restaurant on Washington Avenue.

    Green plaid wallpaper, checked tablecloths, and, of course, a winged lemon neon sign decorate the eatery, which can seat approximately 75 in the main dining room, 30 in a private dining room, 11 at the bar (an antique that has been untouched by the renovations), and 60 on the patio.

    No matter where you sit, the view of your plate is bound to be delicious.

    The new Montrose location is modeled after the original on Washington Avenue.

    adios, churrascos

    Houston's pioneering South American steakhouse will soon shutter in River Oaks

    Sad news for inner loopers who are fans of plantain chips, wood-grilled steaks, and Houston’s best tres leches. The River Oaks location of South American steakhouse Churrascos will close on June 16, the restaurant announced.

    Located at the intersection of Shepherd Drive and Westheimer Road, Churrascos has operated its location at 2055 Westheimer for more than 30 years.

    “It is our location to open a new Churrascos with the new location and date TBD,” an announcement on the restaurant’s Facebook page states. “We want to thank you all for years of patronage. We value your business more than you will ever know.”

    Famously founded on August 8, 1988 (8/8/88) by chef Michael Cordua, Churrascos put a South American twist on the familiar steakhouse genre. The restaurant earned wide critical acclaim for dishes such as its namesake steak — a spiral-cut beef tenderloin that’s grilled over high heat and served with chimichurri — including a prestigious Food & WineBest New Chef award for Cordua in 1994.

    Ultimately, Cordua’s son David joined the business. Together, the grew Churrascos to locations across the Houston area and developed Américas, an upscale South American restaurant that had had three locations in the Galleria area, River Oaks, and The Woodlands — all of which are now closed. Ultimately, both Michael and David departed Cordua Restaurants in 2018. David Cordua currently operates The Lymbar, a restaurant in the Ion mixed-use development that serves dishes inspired by South American and Middle Eastern cooking.

    As for Churrascos, it still operates locations in Memorial City, The Woodlands, and Sugar Land, along with a successful catering business. Those locations remain open.
