Andres ElizondoJanuary 11, 2017Go here for the ultimate Tolkien experience. The ONLY licensed restaurant for the hobbit franchise, blessed by the man himself. Their sandwiches, beer selection, atmosphere are unparalleled
Balsam .rMarch 24, 2017Great patio good Food and friendly staff! Food portion is so big that you can share ! We ordered tuna SLIME sandwich and smoked turkey SLIME sandwich and was delicious but couldn't eat them all !
- Logan SullivanFebruary 4, 2018Lots of vegetarian options, many easy to make vegan. The shire sandwich is super good and filling! The sweet potato fries are INCREDIBLE. “Slim” sandwiches are more than enough.
Houston PressAugust 4, 2014The sandwiches and burgers are the stars, particularly the Martinique burger, a mountainous patty of Angus beef with so many messy toppings that you practically need to be hosed down when done eating. Read more
Sophia PrimeraFebruary 4, 2018The Shire is really good!! Ask for no mayo and it’s vegan!! And the sweet potato fries are heavenly
Danielle NicoleJuly 19, 2016Though it isn't listed anywhere online- this place has a dog friendly patio with a bar attached and the staff was kind enough to plug in some fans for us to keep cool while we ate
Anand DhanasekharanJuly 27, 2016Nice ambience. I like the menu and they can make every burger vegetarian, even though I didn't want it. Their ciders n meads are amazing if you like strong sweet drinks.
Brian BOctober 24, 2015While visiting Houston a coworker took us here for dinner to get out of the downtown area. This place is a hidden gem love their burgers. Great place to try if your in Houston.
Everything on the menu is amazing! Lots of Vegetarian & vegan options, as well as meat options. Slim sandwiches are more than enough, classics are gigantic. Beer list is surprisingly great. Smoothies.
John MaysonNovember 19, 2013While it's hardly a Middle Earth dish, the jerk chicken is the best I've ever had. Something about the flavor of their rice just blends beautifully with the spices in the jerk sauce.- Ashley HuneycuttMarch 10, 2016Good vibe and good food. Fish tacos are fantastic and the pecan pie is the best I've had in my LIFE.
Peter TorresMay 2, 2019The Balrog burger is not only massive, it is absolutely amazing! One of the most flavorful burgers I have ever had!
Not only does Hobbit have fantastic food but they have a terror selection if craft beers. If you are looking for a place to have good beer and conversation, you can't beat the patio!
Stephanie MarieMarch 22, 2016All the food and the people included. I was more than pleasantly surprised by the experience. Great for vegetarians/vegans!!! Nice rare beers on tap too!
Jim BaileyJanuary 18, 2015Had the Boudin and Eggs with a Peanut Butter Pancake, servings are large, service is good, Great place for Breakfast⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beer selection is good - happy hour at 3. The Shire slim is one of my favorite vegetarian sandwiches. Staff is friendly, slow or During a rush. Always a nice visit :)
Katy IrvingJanuary 22, 2011You MUST come for weekend brunch at least once! The salmon benedict with their spicy breakfast potatoes are devine and the gingerbread pancakes are a real treat! Don't miss it! 10-2pm weekends only
- Jeanette N RiveraApril 19, 2024Great staff, great owner, great coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and nice...Nice place to study and just catch up on reading.
Guacamole salad is heavenly and is made to be shared. Fresh fruit salad with yogurt and honey is SO good.- Anna JoyJuly 10, 2024Hobbit Cafe in Houston, Texas delights with themed decor, hearty dishes, and a cozy atmosphere perfect for Tolkien fans.
CJ MNovember 14, 2013Chicken salad was out of this world. Smaugs Delight was great! Don't order the large unless u have Bombers appetite to back it up (huge)
StacySeptember 30, 2017Everything I’ve tried here is freshly made and hobbit healthy. I shall return!
M GApril 12, 2015I like the plain Barbados burger - ask for it cooked medium, as sometimes they overcook it a bit. Awesome carrot cake!
Morgan StevensSeptember 5, 2015The French fries are amazing!!! Be warned, if you ask for extra avocado it will take up most of the plate
SuchiJuly 4, 2013I'm not sure if the lamb burger was a limited time thing, but it was awesome! If you like lamb, get it. You won't regret it.
Veronics OMay 26, 2014Everything was really good!! Kids finished everything on their plate! Service was excellent!- Karen FaulkMarch 12, 2024Cozy place with a quiet and peaceful ambiance! The cold coffee is really good.....
Nathaniel HeironimusNovember 12, 2011A great beer selection, the best burger I have had in years, and awesome service. Also, good salsa, even if the chips are store bought.
MegAugust 10, 2014This place is a Houston staple. The Withywindle is fantastic, but only get a small portion unless you're ready to eat several pounds of sandwich! They don't mess around with small serving sizes here.
Kenji TasakaAugust 24, 2012Try the The Strider - Egg salad sandwich with fresh mushrooms, sprouts, and tomatoes on whole wheat poppy seed bread. Amazing.
The salmon burger comes smothered with the most delicious dill sauce I've ever tasted. Ask for the sweet potato fries because it's off the menu.
Jose ColucciSeptember 16, 2013Excellent food ... be sure to not dress up or you will feel out of place. The more casual the better... :)- Mandi HolmesAugust 24, 2014Benjamin is the best server. Surprisingly good food not just a gimmicky place. We will eat here again.
Great beer menu. Best fish tacos I've ever had. Glad I found this place.
Rebecca ThompsonSeptember 12, 2012Really liked the feel of this place and will come back, but have to admit I didn't like the jerk chicken. Will try something else!
Hannah SalinasJanuary 13, 2013Best black bean burger ever. (Has the taste of curry, so beware if you don't like that.)
Anthony TorresOctober 16, 2011Not gonna lie. The Salmon Eggs Benedict was divine! Served with this spicy hash mash? Yes please, best brunch ever!
Cheri H.October 19, 2010Best hole in the wall cafe hands down. Never had anything off the menu that I didn't like. Food & atmosphere rock!
