I love the Hobbit Cafe, Barnaby's, and Yard House. What about you all?

And any healthy dining spots that you know of would be appreciated :smile:

    Probably not my favorite, but LoCals Healthy Grill in Katy is really good and incredibly healthy. Don't let the name fool you... the buffalo burger is amazing... only place I've found that you can get a decent sized burger with bun for <250cal! (no joke)

    Mmm yard house.... love that place!

    Black Lab, I've never eaten there, but it's a cool place regardless. They have good beer.

    My all time favorite restaraunt is Tony's Mexican Restaraunt in Katy off of Mason road. Not healthy, but I couldn't live without some mexican food once in a while. :) I also love Cypress Station Grill in Cypress.

    I'll second Hobbit Cafe. I also love Field of Greens on West Alabama and Aztecas Bar & Grill on Richmond.

    All of these are close to my work in the Upper Kirby/Greenway Plaza area.

    For Burritos: Nutritionally, Freebirds beats the pants of Chipotle. Chipotle loads their stuff with fat and salt. SOOOO much salt. I also like Mission and they're comparable to Freebirds, Nutriton-wise. The one difference is that Mission has sauteed mushrooms.

    If you're on the North side of Downtown you should try Radical Eats on Fulton. The fried avocado tacos and gourmet tamales are out of this world. It's not exactly low-calorie but the food is all Vegan and mostly or all organic.

    For Pizza I like Pink's or zPizza both on Bissonett.

    I love Barnaby's but will have to try the others. Always looking for good healthy eating venues.

    Green Seed Vegan on Almeda, Bombay Pizza downtown, Niko Niko's in Market Square for something quick and outside. Oh, and a place I have to be very disciplined - Flying Saucer :ohwell:

    I love japenese and vietnamese food, especially lately, because I can eat until almost full and not consume many calories. Susi, Pho, and Vermicelli bowls are very filling with less than 500 calories per serving, if moderate in choice selections.

    Ra Sushi, Tokyohana, Waza, Pho Sagon

    I would love to try a vegan restaurant. I often think that I'm a vegan stuck in an omnivore's body... :ohwell:

    I have never eaten at any of those places. I think one of my favorites is Chuy's, Guadalajara and Mancuso's Table. None of which I eat real healthy at.

    Yall are making me hungry!

    We recently ventured over that big Phonecia specialty foods on Westheimer near Kirkwood (there is now one downtown too). It's a grocery store but a lot like Whole Foods and Central Market in you can order food and eat on the patio. Verdict... OMG NOM NOM NOM!!

    Will definitely be going back there. There is a restaurant that is right next door to it... looking forward to trying that.
