    common in the corridor

    Houston's favorite bakery heats up Energy Corridor with new to-go location

    Eric Sandler
    Jul 1, 2022 | 3:42 pm

    Common Bond's quest to bring its croissants, cookies, and sandwiches to every part of Houston took another step forward this week. The popular bakery and cafe opened its seventh On-The-Go location in the former Beans Café space at 1127 Eldridge Parkway.

    “Expanding to Energy Corridor is a natural progression for the Common Bond brand," CEO George Joseph said in a statement. "Many of our loyal customers have traveled in to dine at our restaurants. We are delighted to now serve them in their own neighborhood for lunch meetings, after school snacks, or their morning coffee run.”

    First introduced in 2020, Common Bond On-The-Go slims down the offerings served at the larger bistro locations to a core menu of items that can be delivered quickly such as breads, sweets, and pastries along with savory items like sandwiches and salads. On the sweet side, expect all of Common Bond's signature items such as croissants and other viennoiserie like kouign-amann along with cookies, macarons, and small cakes.

    The location also features new dishes such as a vegetarian meatball sandwich made with Impossible meat, a lemongrass pork sandwich with sriracha aioli, and a prosciutto and arugula sandwich on sunflower rye. Selections on a new kids menu include boxes with components for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a ham and cheese sandwich, or a snack box with grapes, pretzels, and celery sticks.

    Open daily from 7 am to 6 pm, the location features an umbrella-shaded outdoor patio as well as a drive-thru for convenient to-go orders. Beverage choices include coffee drinks, canned wine, and Common Bond's popular frose.

    The restaurant will celebrate its grand opening on Thursday, July 7 with a ribbon cutting ceremony and giveaways for gift certificates and other prizes. The first 100 people in line will receive a free cookie.

    More locations of Common Bond On-The-Go are already under development. The restaurant announced in March that it would open two locations near Memorial City Mall this fall.

    “We are excited about helping expand Common Bond’s reach across the Houston area and bringing the Houston community a place to dine and bond over good food,” Edward Heap, senior vice president for SRS Real Estate Partners’ Houston office, added. SRS represented Common Bond in the transaction.

    Common Bond has introduced new items at its On-The-Go locations.

    Turner’s "Prime Affairs" night offers steaks ranging from an eight-ounce American Wagyu ($88) to a 22-ounce prime dry-aged bone-in ribeye ($123), served with sides and choice of enhancement.

    Houstonians love a deal, especially when it involves a juicy steak. Thankfully, Houston's bars and restaurants devote lots of to creating compelling steak night specials. These are a few that caught our attention, mostly new additions with a few familiar favorites thrown in as a reminder of their consistent excellence.

    Monday

    EZ's Liquor Lounge
    This award-winning, retro-inspired cocktail bar in the Heights serves a 12-ounce strip with a salad and mashed potatoes for $32 every Monday beginning at 6 pm.

    Memorial Trail Ice House
    After reopening in June, Memorial Trail Ice House added a steak night on Mondays. Dig into a ribeye steak with bacon-smashed mozzarella potatoes and salad for $21. Take advantage of industry night, too, with $5 Espolon, $5 Jäger, $5 Maniball Peanut Butter Tequila, and $8 Good Boy seltzers.

    Tuesday

    Griff’s
    The steak night at this beloved Irish pub has a loyal following. The $24 plate comes with a marinated steak, giant baked potato, a visit to the full potato-fixings bar, and a draft beer.

    Toga
    This Japanese-inspired pub offers a $29 steak night deal on Tuesdays from 4-10 pm. Diners get an eight-ounce steak with housemade chimichurri sauce, plus sweet potato mash with chili garlic and a house salad topped of frisée, cabbage, and tomato that's topped with creamy ginger dressing and sesame seeds.

    Turner’s
    For an elevated take on steak night, Turner’s "Prime Affairs" night showcases three cuts on Tuesdays: an eight-ounce American wagyu filet mignon ($88), an 18-ounce prime dry-aged bone-in New York strip ($76), and a 22-ounce prime dry-aged bone-in ribeye ($123). Each comes with a choice of True Madeira, smoked chimichurri, or au poivre, along with potato purée and grilled asparagus. For the whole table, the “After Dark” board serves three to four guests and includes all three steaks for $275.

    Wednesday

    The Blind Goat
    The Spring Branch eatery from MasterChef winner Christine Ha serves a steak frites special on Wednesdays for $27.

    Confessions
    It’s all-you-can-eat ribeye and fries for $45 on Wednesdays at this hookah bar and restaurant. Diners can also get $5 glasses of wine and $20 bottles.

    KP’s Kitchen
    Wednesdays bring all-day happy hour and prime rib night to the Spring Branch restaurant. Diners can pair the steak with their first glass of red wine for $1, or take advantage of $7 drinks and $7 appetizers during happy hour.

    Yuma
    Known for its Brazilian and Cuban sandwiches, Yuma gets in on the steak night trend on Wednesdays. A slab of picanha, also known as top sirloin cap, is coated in a housemade dry rub, smoked slowly, and sliced like prime rib. It’s served with yuca fries, sautéed mustard greens, and chimichurri.

    Thursday

    Johnny Ritas
    It’s “Noche Asado” at Johnny Rita's on Thursdays from 5-9 pm. The $27 plate comes with a 12-ounce carne asada served with salad and elote. Diners can also take advantage of $2 off frozen margaritas and signature cocktails.

    Jonathan’s The Rub
    Stop by either the Campbell Place ($35) or East End ($30) locations of Jonathan’s The Rub on Thursdays for a 16-ounce New York strip paired with a vegetable and smashed potatoes.

    Starduster Lounge
    The casual Heights spot's steak night comes with a steak, butter poached potatoes, and rotating veg with cowboy butter for $30. Add a margarita for $5.

    Turner’s "Prime Affairs" night offers steaks ranging from an eight-ounce American Wagyu ($88) to a 22-ounce prime dry-aged bone-in ribeye ($123), served with sides and choice of enhancement.
