Restaurants that are open on Saturday for lunch or brunch
As someone who dines out very frequently, maybe too frequently, and having a desire to try new places or revisit ones that I haven’t been in a while, I often have to check if a particular restaurant is open during those times when many might be closed: Saturday for lunch; Sunday for dinner; or Monday for either lunch and dinner. So, I put together a list of Houston restaurants, about 750 different locations in all, highlighting whether or not each is open during those times. I thought that this might be of interest to others and wrote this post – the spreadsheet I created didn’t work with my simple website – with ones about the other three coming.
The restaurants are listed alphabetical within each letter. The nicer restaurants are likely serving brunch.
