Cool 😛
OK, I found out the address, so if any of you are coming to Houston for the Super Bowl, drop by:
2243 Richmond ( between Kirby and Greenbriar)
Houston, TX. 77098,
and you can call them at 713-526-5460.
There isn't a website, but if you Yahoo search it, it will give you a whole bunch of rest. review sites.
I read mixed reviews about the place, but most people tended to like it more than dislike it.

Smodden, they're also a Galleria in downtown Houston, I haven't heard about the one in Dallas though. I got the info about the Hobbit Cafe from one of the magazines I have (YM), and thought it would be soo cool to go there. It's a vegetarian rest. , "The Gandalf" is their most popular sandwich, oh, haha, and they also sell lambas bread. Isn't that cool? I have to find out where this is.
sounds soo great!!! [i'm a vegetarian.. 😄 Lol ]...but damnitt I'll never ever get there...
Being a Houstonian (no trolls, please, I LIKE it here)... I am a Hobbit Cafe regular. 🙂
It actually used to be called 'The Hobbit Hole' - they still have the old sign handing on a wall in the dining room - and was off of Shephard.
It's sort of a "vegetarian" place, although I would call it "healthy, good for you food" and the portion sizes are enough to feed a third world country (don't even think about the 'Giant' size.) They do have carnivorous meals too (where else would you get buffalo?) and really awesome smoothies. And, since it's not CA, it's decent prices to boot.
Seriously, though... You aren't exactly missing out on a "scene" here. Yes, the place does get packed on weekend nights, but there are few good places in Houston so close to Westheimer that don't have a wait. People don't gather to chat about LoTR or the movies. It's a relatively small place - a step up from the old, shoddy building they were in - that used to be a house. It's just a nice, cozy place with indoor/outside eating, great food and a great atmosphere...
Although, y'all should've SEEN the kick-arse mural they had in the old place. Talk about nifty! They hired/volunteered someone to draw a 360 degree view of The Shire/Middle-earth, which carried throughout the entire building. Now it's just movie posters and random framed original artwork. Kind of a bummer.
Heh. Sorry to bring it back from the dead. VERY bored in my last hour of the work-day.
And, I'm very much not taking credit for this, but this gentleman has some camera-phone pics: livejournal.com/users/eurisko97/138794.html?thread=210986
They're not too detailed, but you get the idea. (Can't post links either!) And thanks for the welcome!
