    Harvey Dining Deals

    Support Harvey relief by eating and drinking across Houston

    Restaurants across Houston continue to appeal to diners who want to support local business that are contributing to Harvey relief efforts.

    While Houston Restaurant Weeks remains a good way to support the Houston Food Bank, also consider the deals below, offering alternative ways to dine out and do good. Don’t forget that existing offers at restaurants like Picos and Yauatcha are still valid, too.

    Hurricane Harvey Wallbangers
    Led by Anvil owner Bobby Heugel, a number of bars and restaurants around town are donating a percentage of proceeds from sales of the Harvey Wallbanger cocktail (a variation on the Screwdriver) to various relief efforts. Participants include (but are not limited to) Anvil, Better Luck Tomorrow, Star Fish, State Fare, Moving Sidewalk, and Barringer Bar.

    Best of all, Galliano, the Italian spirit that gives the Harvey Wallbanger its signature flavor, will donate all of its profits from September to Mayor Sylvester Turner’s Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

    SeaSide Poke
    The EaDo poke shop will donate $1 per bowl sold now through September 15 to Rebuilding Together Houston, a local organization that rebuilds houses for low-income elderly homeowners.

    H-Town Restaurant Group
    For every Houston Strong margarita sold at all four of Hugo Ortega and Tracy Vaught’s restaurants — Hugo’s, Caracol, Backstreet Cafe, and Xochi — $1 will be donated to the Houston Food Bank.

    Petite Sweets
    Proceeds from the sales of Buffalo Bayou ice cream (made with milk chocolate ice cream with house-made salty caramel marshmallows, blondie chunks, toffee chips, toasted pecans, and a caramel swirl) will be donated to Mayor Turner's fund.

    Kenny & Ziggy’s
    Both locations of the Jewish deli will donate 5 percent of all sales, including catering orders (which swell with the approach of the Jewish High Holidays), in September and October to the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston’s Harvey relief work. In addition, the restaurant will open for the first time ever on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to give people displaced by the floods a place to eat a holiday meal. Contact the restaurant to make reservations for Rosh Hashanah.

    Flying Saucer Downtown
    The popular craft beer bar is donating $2 from every Saint Arnold beer sold to relief efforts.

    Lucille’s
    The Southern-inspired restaurant will celebrate its fifth anniversary by donating 15 percent of all sales, from September 19 to September 24, to Mayor Sylvester Turner’s fund. That includes special events like a dim sum dinner on September 21 and a tiki party and pig roast on September 23.

    Kata Robata
    Houston’s best sushi restaurant will donate $3 per Longhorn roll (fried shrimp and fresh water eel with avocado, spicy mayo, three kinds of fish roe, and unagi sauce) to the J.J. Watt Foundation.

    Izakaya
    The Midtown restaurant will give $3 per bowl of H-Town ramen, featuring smoked brisket and egg omelet, to the J.J. Watt Foundation.

    Underbelly/Hay Merchant
    Now that Underbelly's signature Korean braised goat and dumplings has been added to the Hay Merchant menu, both restaurants are donating $1 for every order sold in September to Southern Smoke, which this year will donate money to people in the service industry who were affected by Hurricane Harvey. In addition, Underbelly will donate $1 for every order of crispy vegetables in caramelized fish sauce and $5 for every bottle of its Hoot’Nanny wine, and Hay Merchant will donate $1 for every H-Town Slammer cocktail.

    Coltivare
    This year's CultureMap Tastemaker Awards Restaurant of the Year will donate $1 from every order of its signature black pepper spaghetti sold during September to the Houston Food Bank.

    SeaSide Poke will donate $1 per bowl to Harvey relief.

    Hot Houston hand roll spot is first restaurant at new EaDo development

    Houstonians with a seemingly unlimited appetite for sushi hand rolls will soon have another destination to satisfy their cravings. Handies Douzo will open its next location in East Blocks, an adaptive reuse project in EaDo.

    On track to open in late 2026 or early 2027 at 1107 Hutchins Street, the EaDo location will be Handies Douzo’s fifth, joining the original in the Heights as well as restaurants in Montrose, Spring Branch, and an upcoming outpost in Uptown’s new Central Park Post Oak development. Like those siblings, it will serve Handies’ familiar menu of hand rolls (temaki), crudos, and sashimi that’s overseen by founding chefs and co-owners Daniel Lee and Patrick Pham. The 2,000-square-foot space will feature Handies’ familiar U-shaped counter seating.

    Handies is known for wrapping its rolls in crispy seaweed that gives each bite a distinct crunch. The well-executed dishes and affordable prices helped Handies earn a nomination for Neighborhood Restaurant of the Year in the 2026 CultureMap Tastemaker Awards.

    "We've been very intentional about where we grow, and East Blocks immediately stood out," Pham and Lee said in a statement. "There's an authenticity to EaDo and a strong sense of community that aligns with our brand. We're excited to be part of a project focused on creating an energetic, walkable destination."

    1107 Hutchins and the nearby 2202 Dallas — each of which are 15,000 square feet — represent phase one of local real estate firm Pagewood’s plans to East Blocks. First announced in 2023, plans call for renovating warehouses into a walkable district of shops, restaurants, offices, and green space. Gensler is leading architecture and design for the project, with landscape architecture by SWA.

    "East Blocks reflects a long-term belief in EaDo and the kind of place it’s becoming," said Mat Volz, Managing Principal of PAGEWOOD. "As the project has evolved, our commitment to that vision has only strengthened. Breaking ground on Phase 1 is an exciting step forward, particularly as this neighborhood prepares to welcome the world. With the FIFA Fan Festival taking place just steps from East Blocks and bringing thousands of visitors daily to EaDo, we see this project playing a meaningful role in that energy and in the long-term evolution of the district."
