Best

All the years I've been going the Hobbit Hole and all of it's successors, I have never had a bad experience. Best egg salad and tuna salad sandwiches in town. I just love this pl...

Here's the problem: the food here tastes like something I could make myself with basic ingredients from an average grocery store. And my cooking, I must disclose, is amateurish a...

Come on you hobbits 8/7/2002

I think that the restaurant makes excellent food that's good for you, and it offers a nice atmosphere along with it. It really takes you away from the fast-paced world and lets you slow down and relax. I'd recommend this place to anybody who wants to chill out and not spend a big wad of money. It's just where a hobbit would spend his day. Pros: Hidden, Calm environment, various choices more

Lord of the Onion Rings 8/2/2002

This place is outstanding! The patio is pleasant, the food is healthy and delicious, and the location is convenient. One of the best reasonably-priced restaurants in Houston. Cons: service-always slow more

Not the Middle Earth I know 7/28/2002

If you're a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings fan and wish to have an authentic Middle Earthian experience this is not the place. Hobbits are known for loving their food. Although portions match a Hobbit's appetite, the food itself would disappoint even a Sackville Baggins. I had the grilled chicken wrap and was so disgusted by the odd flavor that I had to poach off my husband's plate. He had a burger and although the carrot sticks instead of fries was an amusing heathly alternative, the burger too had an odd flavor. It was novel to see our favorite characters' names on the menu, but the food attached to the names was off the mark considering it focused on a people that rely on sausage and kidney pie. The atmosphere though cozy didn't have enough Hobbit memorabilia to make me think that a true fan of the author managed the place. Pros: Neat Location Cons: food was odd tasting, hard to find more

VERY PLEASED 5/28/2002

I tried the Hobbit Cafe after seeing it voted one of Houston's best vegeterian restaurants and I was very pleased. The patio looked very inviting, but I deceided to eat inside. The walls are painted in cozy colors (mossy green and dusty mauve) with charming pictures on the walls. And the food is even better. I started off with the fresh fruit salad- it was incredible. Then I had a wrap and it was HUGE!!! The wraps come with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, feta cheese and your choice of any two other items such as avacodos, grilled veggies, taboulie, chicken and tuna (you can have these grilled or in salad form). My wrap had avacodos and grilled veggies and I ended up bringing most of it home. The daily herbal fruit tea was very refreshing and and sweet enough not to need any sugar. I will definetly come back. Pros: portion size, atmosphere, menu diversity Cons: kind of hard to find more

  • The Hobbit Cafe has been serving Houstonians for over 32 years. We have a unique restaurant which serves some of the best cuisine in town. Try our black bean nachos, monterey jack cheese, pico de hallo, jalapenos and sour cream. Amazing salads like the tropical chicken salad-fresh Spring mix, fruit, toasted almonds tossed in a tropical yogurt dressing topped with jerk chicken and toasted coconut. The Gandalf sandwich (avocado and mushrooms under melted cheese), avocado burger, buffalo burger and black bean burger are very tasty. Try the Caribbbean Salmon, grilled with spices and topped with jerk sauce, mango salsa and toasted coconut, valinor-steamed vegies piled high over brown rice and beans.
