The waiter recommended a semi dry delicious mead with blackberry and mint that was divine. They have an enormous mead menu with dozens to choose from. I had the chips and queso (yum) and the meadow-earth burger with goat cheese and mead-soaked toppings that were incredible together. read more

I came here with a group (around 12 people) on a Sunday night and it was pretty crowded with a wait of around 15 min. I was surprised that the restaurant is literally inside a house. If you're a big Lord of the Rings fan, I think you'll enjoy this restaurant and all its LOTR references throughout. Besides that though, it's a hole-in-the-wall place and it didn't give me the cleanest feeling. Service was alright and the food was good. I got the "Dwalin," a curry chicken salad sandwich with grapes and almonds. It was pretty tasty, but the shredded carrots on the side were completely unseasoned and bland. Warning: the "classic" portions are HUGE! I recommend going for the "slim" option unless you're extremely hungry. read more

Hobbit Cafe is a quaint little cafe, but it's a shame that my experience didn't match the atmosphere there. I was a little surprised that the spinach mushroom omelette didn't have any cheese to hold any of the ingredients together, but since the description on the menu didn't mention any cheese, I shrugged off my pickiness. However, the lack of any adhesive made the mushrooms and spinach (2 naturally wet ingredients) in the omelette very difficult to eat as they all kept on separating from each other. The residual liquid accumulated on my plate too, making my potatoes and also my toast very soggy and unappetizing. There was also not much flavor to the omelette, which made it even more disappointing. The breakfast potatoes were also really disappointing; they were basically mashed bits of spiced boiled potatoes. I think I was just imagining some hash or fried house potatoes. The toast was sadly the thing I enjoyed the most, and I spread lots of butter and jam on it. Some parts of it were soggy and gross from the omelette juice though. TLDR: Disappointed in the omelette dish, but may consider coming back for either fajitas or burgers read more

Been here a couple times and both times were great. First time took about 5 minutes to be seated, second time a friend was already there. Both times the food came out in reasonable timing and both times it was delicious. Service was great and the atmosphere was pretty chill. The back right rooms flooring kind of dipped so that was a little concerning but we didn't fall through! read more

Dear foodie readers, here's an oldie but a goodie...I finally returned to the Hobbit cafe, after many years...it's nice knowing some of your old faves still exist, especially in Houston, where places you consider staples disappear into oblivion...going back for lunch was so good...I love the charm, if you are into the series or not, you can't but love the place..nestled under a big beautiful oak tree, they have a great patio. The indoor dining is filled with relics and movie posters to gaze at. For my vegans, and vegetarians, you have quite a bit to choose from...we started with the veggie quesadillas, they were so good...I loved that they were not stingy with the mushrooms...I ordered the tuna melt in a spinach wrap...yum yum, and we ended things off with the blackberry chocolate cake, which is also vegan...it was really tasty! So you see, you don't have to travel to middle earth...just Houston, texas read more

Absolutely enjoyed it. The atmosphere and attention to detail was exquisite. The food is so delicious and fresh, and it almost felt like i was hobbit living in the shire. Not only was the food delicious, but the historical value of this establishment helps to add onto the whole experience. If you're ever in Houston, this hole in the wall cafe is worth a visit. read more

Cannot speak to the food or service because we didn't make it inside the restaurant. We drove over 30 minutes out of our way to find this restaurant closed despite the posted hours indicating it would be open. Very thoughtless and careless not to update hours and waste your potential customers' time. read more

Really like the Hobbit decor and atmosphere with lots of fans outside seating. Quick spot on service and full menu of great food we ate outside and was fun read more

Really enjoyed the excellent beef fajitas and service in a casual outdoor area. I've been to Hobbit Cafe dozens of times through the years, and as a Tolkien fan I love the numerous references to Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit, both on the menu and within the restaurant's decorations. read more

So my gf has never been to this place and this was my second time back here in a very long time. The decor and theme is pretty awesome I must say. I enjoyed the beer of course and the food was on point, we both got burgers and the waiter recommended the Jamaican jerk chicken and it was GOOD! They had outdoor seating as well with tree trunks surrounding the patio which was pretty neat. We will definitely be back and would recommend this place to our friends and family. read more

Nice to be able to sit outside. Pet friendly. Patio is mostly covered. This place is funky but kinda fun. We had the hamburger which was big and good as well as the salad with 2 scoops. Egg salad and chicken curry salad with grapes. Nice server brought our dog a bowl of water when she brought our water. read more

Such a fun place! I'm a Tolkien nerd, so I have no clue how I didn't know about this place ages ago! Of course, I really enjoyed the decor and the menu names! My husband and I both had Boromir's Boudin Burger and queso fries. Both were delicious and perfectly prepared. I had the blackberry mead and really enjoyed that. I would love to return and try some of the other offerings. read more

Welcoming staff and if you love the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings it is just so much fun! The menu had so many vegetarian options. The mead was super delicious and I got to pick 3 of any kind available in the flight. They welcomed my dog on the patio with a bowl of cool water. We are marking this down as a family favorite and will be back. Highly recommend. read more

LOTR fans will LOVE this one! The artwork and menu were epic. Large portions, lots of vegetarian options and good service.

Overall, an alright place, maybe if you're a Lord of the Rings fan, but wouldn't recommend this place unless if you're looking to try out some new drinks and enjoy it with a burger. I came here with a group (around 10 people) to celebrate someone's birthday who is really into the Lord of the Rings. We had to call ahead to get a table reserved for such a large party, but they were very accommodating and made it not a problem at all. I'd recommend calling ahead if you have a large party though; the interior is kinda suffocating as they have chairs and tables snuck in around a main hallway. I can say that the best, most unique part about this place is their wide rotating selection of draft beers on tap. They had about 15 IPAs, specialty beers, and other unique drafts to pick from, which was pretty exciting. My friend got a sweet mead, which I tried; really unlike any other beer I had before, so a great experience in that respect. Regarding the LOTR experience, I was surprised that they didn't have much Lord of the Rings memorabilia other than a couple of posters on the wall. Didn't exactly feel like a LOTR themed restaurant. Other than that, the place seemed mostly lackluster to me. The food wasn't that good. The soup I had was pretty bland and didn't have much thought put into it. Most people liked their burgers/sandwiches, which they did have a lo of options for, but no one was overly impressed with their food. For the price point, I'd say there's better options you could entertain. Like I said, this place didn't really impress me on any fronts, but I found their diverse selection of draft beer to be their saving grace. read more

I hadn't been to Houston in years but I was excited to take my nerd Coworker there. I used to come a lot and loved the poppers and tea. My coworker loved it and took pics but we didn't have very good service :( there was a lot of sitting around looking around when we needed more ranch or refills. It's a bit pricy for what it was this time. The food used to have more unique flavors but not so much anymore. It was really good but not phenomenal like it used to be. The service needs to step up :( staff was too chill and seemed like they were just there to hang out and chit chat with each other. I'll of course give them another shot next year when I'm back. When I lived in Houston I was there at least twice a month. read more

Fantastic food and service! Smaug's delight with the upgrade is truly unbeatable. I'm a super picky eater but decided to just go for it and was soooooo pleased to find that this random assortment of ingredients made up a Gigantic delicious sandwich. My dad got the Boudain burger and he tore it up - the mango pico is something you don't want to miss out on. $3 sangria just made the afternoon even better. Come hungry and leave stuffed! read more

Came here for the first time with the family because we're LOTR fans and it was recommended to us. It was such an experience! No wait on a Friday brunch time for 6 of us. We were constantly looking around at the decorations, the staff was extremely friendly and inclusive, and the food was interesting and delicious. Our server was amazing - she dressed up as an elf and was very attentive and funny. She was also really patient with us, as we brought our 83 year-old grandma who is hard to understand and she couldn't read the menu. We ordered the Great Goblins Platter as an appetizer (great for even the 6 of us, had an eclectic mix of their unique appetizers). For our mains, we had burgers, sandwiches, and tacos and they were all amazing!! You will need to-go boxes because the plates are huge! read more

I came here for a coworkers birthday lunch is since it was near the office and nearby the office. With a group of 11, the employees were able to place us in our own room. As soon as you pull in the parking lot, you see a house. Yep, that's it! A house turned into a restaurant. There is an outside patio available. The house smelled musty and old, the restrooms were regular stalls but instead of a door, you get shower curtains. I'm not high class, but it made me feel uncomfortable since anyone can come in. Okay, so the food. I got the most basic appetizer. The fajita steak nachos. My boyfriend got the boudin burger. There was no time to complain, we were on lunch break. The strawberry lemonade and fresh lemonades are organic. No sugar FYI. Taste is like lemon water. I don't recommend getting those. 1/5 The nachos were huge! Loaded with black beans. There had to be like 7 pieces of beef, which was very disappointing. The cheese wasn't like nacho cheese, it was shredded cheese oven baked. This made the chips soft and unpleasant. The pico tasted fresh, and the sour cream was a big scoop full. I wouldn't come here again, especially not for this again. The cheese was hard by the second bite. So sad because the prices were very reasonable for a lunch. 3/5 My boyfriend got the boudin burger. The burger had a home made taste, so he enjoyed that aspect. The boudin was salty, but mellowed out the taste of this unique sauce. He ordered onion rings with it, and they have him 6 rings...... That's it????? 3/5 This place is average. read more

Hobbit Cafe is the perfect place to enjoy a meal on the patio. I came here on a date and the burgers were SO good!!!!

Also this place has my favorite smoothies in Houston. 10 out of 10 to the hobbit cafe read more

So much fun to discover this restaurant with a quick search of places with patios in our neighborhood. I thought, oh, what a funny name. And then when I did more research, I realized, yes, it's actually named after the book! How fantastic! The decor is just about the cutest thing ever. I've never been to Middle Earth, but this is probably the closest I'm gonna get. The space is so charming, decked out in all things Lord of the Rings. And as Yelp promised, it has a great patio. Tons of space, and there are cute, colorful strands of lights that give it a nice vibe. The service was good, and the waiter recommended the fish tacos and Boudin burger. I was kinda underwhelmed with both of them. Nothing bad, but nothing exciting either. Good portion sizes, but I'd probably opt for something different next time. If the price point was a little cheaper, I'd chalk it up to being decent bar food. But it was a little more than I'd want to spend on average food. Definitely willing to give it another shot because it's a great spot. And how could any nerd not love a Hobbit Cafe?! read more

I've always been about the guac-anything entrees at the Hobbit, along with their popular brunch, the wraps and the veggie- and tofu-heavy options. But this time around, I tried some of their Tex-Mex options and - oh my ... I've been missing out. If I'm ever craving a fresh, less greasy version of Tex Mex, I know exactly what to order: the Chicken Enchiladas Verdes. Super soft and savory shredded chicken breast, corn tortillas, a spicy salsa, black beans and rice ... it's a hefty serving - I hardly put a dent in my plate - so I rec sharing with a friend. Same goes for their black bean nachos. If they could ever make this nacho platter with some form of veggie chips or black bean chips, I'd be super stoked. Also, their draught beer menu seems to grow more and more with each visit. And good craft beer too. Grab a seat on the patio, order up some pints and delish grub and enjoy. read more

This place is amazing! The food and atmosphere are both great. We sat on the patio. I ordered the Bacon Cheese Burger with Guacamole added and a side of seasoned fries. Everything was delicious! They have a large selection of beers and wines. The service was good. I'll be back soon! read more

Hobbit Cafe - Bacon Cheese Burger with Guacamole and a side of Seasoned Fries - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

I don't think real hobbits come here, because if they did a meal would feed an entire hobbit colony. I ordered an avocado burger and was just amused by the large space it took up on my plate. In an attempt to eat it, I tried using a fork and knife but no avail. I ended up slaying the beast bare handed while it's gut's (a bunch of avocados) slide out from under my hands. Although it was a messy battle, it was well worth the $9 price. Overall I had a good time here. What made it even better was the awesome weather that day. Winding down under the shades with a few good friends and huge burgers -- you really can't beat that. read more

Do you like epic movies? Do you like craft beer? Do you like good food? Do you like friendly staff? If you answered yes to at least 2 of these questions, stop reading and go check in at The Hobbit Cafe. If you need some more convincing, then let me tell you how cool this place is. This is one of those unique places that sets itself aside from the typical restaurant mold. It has a Lord of the Rings theme which is cool. (and if you laugh at that, remember you take pictures of food everywhere you go). Hobbit has a fun atmosphere with a very friendly staff. You half expect to run into the characters from Big Theory here. The staff breaks the mold from the typical cute waitress who is "taking a break from college". The crew here is more like the kids you grew up watching Star Wars and playing Nintendo with. The craft beer selection in this place is "precious". Huge selection with rare finds. The food is great too. Its got a strong vegetarian menu for the "elven types" but plenty of meaty selections for men who swing swords. You cant go wrong. Take a break from the ordinary, and give this place a try! read more

I've been going to the Hobbit since it was a little restaurant called the Hobbit Hole! This location, where it has been for years, is in an old, lopsided house. It can be kind of hard to find (behind the Blue Fish House Japanese Restaurant on Richmond). The parking lot is full of pit holes big enough to swallow a child. The service is usually pretty good. The food is usually excellent. The portions are huge. Some favorites: The turkey burger, chicken sandwich, anything vegetarian (they have plenty of it!), the chicken salad, and the fries are awesome. This place has great names for their menu items, inspired by the Lord of the Rings books. They also have a large selection of vegetarian options. Food is served with veggies as a side unless you want fries... There is outdoor seating which obviously depends on the weather. There is a wheelchair ramp off the side of the deck, but I really wouldn't call this place handicapped accessible. The deck is full and I saw a man in a wheelchair once sitting at one of the outside tables because it was just too hard to get anywhere in the old building. It's a yummy place to try, don't let the exterior dissuade you from stopping by! read more

Pretty mediocre but I understand their theme and I will return when I want grab a quick bite in my neighborhood. Service was meh - but a good thing happened after my order was fumbled, I got the replacement and it was correct and delicious. Thank goodness the wait staff had each others' backs, because my original server did his best to avoid my table, for his own reasons... I will think positive and deduct he got busy with the other guests and really, truly intended to come back. Great news! He slid the check to me ...whew! Just when I wanted something else, I got it just in time. Great save buddy. See you next time -- I think I'll have that desert on round two. #Neighbor read more

We were at the Hobbit Cafe last night and had a great time. The hobbit ambiance is very charming. Our server, Vicki, was great, both professional and friendly. She patiently answered all our questions about the menu. The food itself was excellent. Their menu is extensive, concentrating on burgers, sandwiches, and salads. They have many vegetarian entries that can be prepared vegan on request. They also have an extensive selection of meads, along with other wine and beer selections. My compatriots and I had the Mountain of Doom Burger, the Dwalen Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich, and the Killi Greek Salad with fajita chicken. All three entrees were enormous and could have easily been shared with another. The only nit to pick with any of the entrees we ordered was that the chicken in the chicken salad was in chunks rather than strips so they tended to fall out of the sandwich. A minor complaint over all. So we will return and I highly recommend a visit. read more

"So...how about those mimosas?" I went with two friends, S- and A-, to the Hobbit Cafe today - first time for all of us. It's a cute, LotR-themed joint built out of a one-story house. Parking was pretty bad because they share with two other establishments - I'd recommend you carpool or even park on the back street. Our waiter Tristen was very patient as the three of us eventually found each of our ways to the table. Accommodating, helpful, and cheerful, his service was a high point of our meal, though his attempts to hawk mimosas to us were resoundingly unsuccessful. Those in search of lembas bread will be disappointed; rather, the menu boasts a huge array of American dishes, with an interesting mix of Mexican/Caribbean specialties too. A- and I both ordered the lamb burger and S- ordered the jerk chicken. All of it came out pretty tasty, but the jerk chicken was definitely the best; lamb burgers were nothing to write home about. My strawberry lemonade came out frothy and delicate, and I appreciated that its sweetness was mild. The price is reasonable, leans a little high but expected for the neighborhood. All in all, I'd definitely go again to try all the cool things they have on their menu! read more

Friendly staff, nice outdoor seating, amazing menu! Generous portions and nice options on the kids menu as well. I got the Shire sandwich, it was massive and delicious.

I've been meaning to try this spot for the longest! Had my eyes set on their boudin burger. Even though I try to reframe from eating beef and pork, I just had to indulge my taste buds. I mean come on.. Boudin on a burger?! Doesn't get any better than that, right?! Well it did lol. As I looked over the drink menus what did I find "Hemp Wine" never have I ever but today I surely did! Notated as the first hemp oil infused cocktail in the U.S. It was good, you can definitely taste the Texas Tea in it. Sadly I could not finish it all but I will take a Togo box in a heartbeat lol.
