The Hobbit Café

Postby Sheenar » Sat Jan 22, 2011 11:28 am

After my doctor appointment in Houston yesterday, my friend and I went to eat at this AMAZING restaurant not too far from the medical center area:

Hobbit Café

We both totally geeked out the entire time we were there! (We are both HUGE Tolkien and LOTR fans.)

They had a lot of LOTR-themed stuff in the restaurant --from the food (named after characters/places in the books), to maps of Middle Earth, to a little hobbit house by the entrance and a lot of other stuff!

I only took 2 photos while we were there:

Image
A sign on the wall by our table

Image
Smeagol (Gollum) overlooking the main entrance


Will definitely be going back to this place next time I'm in the area. Great food at reasonable prices and a fantastic atmosphere (and friendly employees, too!)
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

I am highly amused that this place actually exists, but I just don't know how I feel about their menu merging Dinner and Supper into one meal. XDD

That's pretty cool. I love The Hobbit. :3

Dunno how comfortable I'd be with Gollum watching me eat though. :l

I'd pay extra if they could find the Lady Galadriel and get her serving up some Lembas Bread and cupcakes.

I think Tolkien just rolled in his grave.

This place looks so awesome! I'm so sad I don't live anywhere near Texas. Lol.

:lol: I think so. The website said Housten. What's wrong with Texas?

Lots of things. :p But I won't get into it here. I'd also like to note I have nothing against people who live or have lived in Texas. They're awesome! :3 My dislike only extends to the state itself.

'Course I live in Virginia which is almost as bad (though not quite as bad as South Carolina).

I don't know much about Texas so I guess I can't say much. xD One of my cousins lives there though.
