Our Story

Houston's Comfort Kitchen for 45+ Years

Treebeards opened in 1978 in a restored building in downtown Houston's Historic Market Square. What started as a small Southern-inspired lunch spot became one of the city's most beloved institutions.

Four locations. Same recipes. Same commitment to real, scratch-made food cooked fresh every single day.
