Upon reading the thread about Bonchon opening in Katy, a common theme in that topic was not knowing what restaurants are new to the area or what places to try. I’m a member of the Katy/Ft. Bend Foodies group on Facebook, one of several Facebook food groups mentioned here, and there they often discuss new places that opened or coming. If any of you are unfamiliar with places to try in Katy that’s new to you, maybe this list of places posted in the Facebook group will help (chains listed too):
Opening at the new shopping center in Katy, The Shoppes at Parkwest on the Katy Freeway (I-10):
I’m a frequent visitor of 1308, the El Tiempo location on Montrose. I hope the Katy location is as good. The Clear Lake location has been tangled in litigation for over a year now and the not-quite-finished building is becoming overgrown with vegetation. It’s an eyesore and a blight on the Laurenzo family name IMO. They simply must fix that.[quote=“DownSouthGoodEating, post:5, topic:3677”]
El Tiempo Cantina opened out in Katy last week.

I’d like to add Kingfisher Fish and Seafood in Rosenberg to this list. Recently opened by Louisiana transplants Ranny and Jackie Fitch on First Street, they sell fresh fish and also cooked baskets. Take away is popular though they have 5 cocktail sized tables in the store. My sister has been and raved over the fried catfish.
This restaurant closed in record time. I followed the owner for a while and he had a habit of posting angry stuff unrelated to the restaurant, don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
Also, I hear a favorite, Two M’s Malt N Burger Mart in Rosenberg has closed for good. It’s been there 50+ years. I met the owner some time ago and he was not a young man so time to retire I’m sure.
