The Hobbit Café

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:

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!)

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

Did you find the ring?

Also, Golem was involved somewhere in the making of your food.

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.

Several times.

I wonder what they would do if you came in dressed as an orc and screamed at the waiters.

@Kouga: I would come with you as an Elf and make you act good! XDDDD that would be funny. "No bad! I'm so sorry, he has terrible manners!" XDD

This sounds awesome.

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.
