    Beloved Annie Cafe bestows brunch and other goodies on Uptown diners

    Have you been missing your Annie Cafe & Bar fix? Tell your tastebuds it's time again, as the Uptown eatery has reopened for lunch service and launched an all-new Sunday brunch, in addition to dinner and happy hour, along with online ordering for curbside pickup.

    Let's start with lunch, which runs Tuesday through Friday from 11 am-4 pm. Some new items have popped up on the menu, including a steak salad of watercress, fingerling potatoes, cippolinis, and Cheddar dressing and the lobster BLT on challah bread with applewood smoked bacon, avocado, and chips.

    Next up is Sunday brunch (11 am-3 pm), which includes a rotating roster of live DJs and a menu of egg-centric dishes and cocktails. Opt for the house-smoked salmon with creamy egg salad, lobster open-face omelet, or chicken fried prime rib topped with two fried eggs, and wash it all down with mimosas, a Bloody Mary, or spiked horchata.

    To help put you even more in the Sunday Funday mood, Berg Hospitality Group has hired a mariachi band to serenade guests at three of its restaurants that are open for brunch: The Annie Cafe, B.B. Lemon, and B&B Butchers & Restaurant.

    If you can't rouse yourself in time, show up for The Annie's Sunday dinner service between 5-8 pm. Indulge in the restaurant’s iconic classics like the crab tostadas, coffee-crusted filet mignon, and bacon-wrapped quail, or try the Sunday special of fried chicken and scratch biscuits.

    No matter when you choose to visit, you have the option to dine on the covered and spacious second-floor patio or inside the chic restaurant. The happy hour menu is also offered every Tuesday through Friday from 4-6 pm on the patio and in the bar area.

    Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for the patio, but walk-ins are always welcome. Reservations can be made by calling 713-804-1800 or on OpenTable (add a note if you'd prefer the patio, and they'll do their best to accommodate).

    Not ready to dine out yet? The Annie Cafe & Bar is still offering online ordering for curbside pickup or delivery by Favor.

    Dine on the patio at well-spaced-out tables.

    shocking bbq shutter

    Texas Monthly-rated Katy barbecue joint surprises with imminent closure

    One of Katy’s best barbecue joints will soon smoke its final brisket. Brett’s BBQ Shop will close on December 28, the restaurant announced on social media.

    In a lengthy Facebook post, owners Jacqueline Herrera and Brett Jackson offered a number of reasons why they decided to shutter after seven years in business. They include the rising costs of labor and ingredients as well as a decline in foot traffic.

    “We poured our blood, sweat, and tears into the last 7 years,” Herrera and Jackson write. “But we will not compromise our standards, and we will not let this business reach a place where we cannot honor our obligations to our team. Closing now is the hardest choice we have ever made, but it is the responsible one. And as the saying goes, sometimes the comeback is bigger than the fall.”

    Herrera and Jackson opened Brett’s in 2018 in the tiny Nonmacher’s Bar-B-Que location on Mason Rd before moving to its current, larger location near Katy Mills Mall in January 2023. Jackson, who honed his skills at the iconic Louie Mueller Barbecue in Taylor, TX, drew raves for his expertly-smoked brisket and creative house-made sausages, earning a spot on Texas Monthly’s top 50 barbecue joints list in 2021 and a place on the Houston Chronicle’s top 100 restaurants. Brett’s maintained an honorable mention on Texas Monthly’s top 50 list for 2025.

    The restaurant will operate with its regular hours for the next two weeks. In addition, it will fulfill all existing orders for Christmas meal packages and any catering commitments. Customers with outstanding gift cards should plan to use them by December 28.

    Brett’s will throw a ticketed New Year’s Eve party to give devoted fans one last opportunity to say goodbye. Details about that event will be released on Friday, December 12.
