Description

2010 | Best Hot Dog

Never atop any list of health foods, hot dogs seem to get a bad rap these days. But if you feel the urge to splurge and gobble down a dog, you won't find a better option than the all-natural foot-long at Barnaby's Cafe. Served on a toasted bun and sliced down the middle into two meaty halves, this hot dog is seared to perfection, with the grill marks to prove it. Purists can order it plain and revel in that all-beef flavor, or pile on the cheese and chili. If you still have room afterwards,... More »
2006 | Best Salad

Not many salads can last for three meals, but Barnaby's chicken Mediterranean salad does it consistently. The whole affair starts with a massive plate of shredded lettuce. Then come the thin, crunchy red onions, slices of roma tomatoes, some plump black olives and a mound of seasoned chicken, thinly shredded. The dome of salad is topped with a generous helping of feta and served with a side of zesty, zingy and creamy vinaigrette. The perfect dish for a heath-conscious diet, it's hearty,... More »
2004 | Best Atkins Chic

Barnaby's Just flip on the tube or try dodging a pop-up ad and it's clear: This is the year of the Atkins and South Beach diets. But Barnaby's has done the high-protein, low-carb thing for years. Owner Jeff Gale (who named the eatery after his dearly departed sheepdog) understands his ultra-healthy clientele so well that bottles of Bragg Liquid Aminos (a popular garnish for those in serious workout training) are as much a table staple as ketchup and salt and pepper. Lunch at any of the three... More »

Chinese Puzzle

By Paul Galvani | Thu, April 06, 2006

The Chinese chicken salad ($8.50) at Barnaby's Cafe (414 West Gray, 713-522-8898) is an enigma, since it doesn't appear to contain any Chinese ingredients. Surely the name doesn't refer to the spicy peanut sauce doused on top of the pyramid-shaped... More »
Pasta Perfect

By Gary Michaels | Thu, November 21, 2002

Too frequently, pasta is the only vegetarian alternative at a restaurant. And too frequently, it's merely acceptable. But the spinach and cheese lasagna ($7.95) at Barnaby's Cafe (604 Fairview, 713-522-0106; 1701 South Shepherd, 713-520-5131; 414 ... More »
Doggone Success

By Edith Sorenson | Thu, August 15, 1996

It's not always easy to determine what will become an institution, or why. Often, what seems a lock to those folks who like to think of themselves as being in the know proves to be little more than the flavor of the moment. And what those same fol... More »

Don't be fooled by the somewhat decrepit facade of this Montrose breakfast haven. It seems the owners of this gay-owned Montrose staple decided to forgo the manscaping and instead focus on the classic American cuisine, delicious fresh-squeezed juices, on-the-case staff and affordable prices. After all, it's what's inside that counts, right? A welcoming rainbow flag in the window beckons patrons, who wait for a table on the patio and cruise the LGBT scene before heading in for comfort food in a comfortable setting. Baby Barnaby's is the place to enjoy stylish Houston gays and tasty food.

I get cravings for the chopped chef salad -- it's seriously that good. Get the half order, the regular size is huge! I recommend the ranch dressing - i think they make it in house.
