Hello neighbors! This blog is focused on the restaurant/food truck/gas station cuisine in the immediate neighborhood of Northampton here in Spring, TX. My family enjoys eating out, but we tend to go to the same small set of places we know we will all like. About a year ago I decided I wanted to branch out. I started eating at local places of all kinds, trying to apply some real judgment to how I liked to food and atmosphere (if any). I've been posting reviews on Yelp and on Nextdoor Northampton and enjoying the conversations.
What kinds of places to eat interest me? The short answer is anything--anything at all--in this area. I've reviewed over 50 local places to eat and have yet to travel more than 3 miles from our home. It may seem a bit odd to review the Walmart deli or a gas station lunch counter, but you eat there, so I do too. By the way, my favorite surprising place I have eaten so far is the Laredo Taco Company inside the Stripes at 99 and Hildebrandt. Gas station cuisine is trending.
My purpose here is to give you, my friends and neighbors, useful information on just about anywhere you might eat in this area. My intent is to point out what I like about a place, and give constructive criticism of the food, service or atmosphere if it is warranted. I like local places and want them to succeed, so it's pretty rare that I'll recommend not patronizing an establishment. I particularly value comments that correct me if I get something wrong about a place or a cuisine--after all, that's how we learn.
I'm looking forward to sharing my very short-range excursions with you. Feel free to jump in and share your food stories. Happy local eating!
