Dining in the woodlands to day it occurs to me

Ruger5 : To start with, I consider Chimichurri's, Raffa's, Amedeo's, Union Kitchen, Mincius Gourmet Hunan and Akashi Sushi Fusion Cuisine to qualify as "fine dining" not to mention Chez Nous in Humble. The second point is that The Woodlands is almost twice the population of Kingwood. According to The US Census Bureau, The Woodlands population in 2020 is 114,532. The US Census Bureau reports the population of Kingwood as just over 60,000. In addition, there are many corporate offices in The Woodlands as well as being located on I45 provides for a much larger market coverage area. Kingwood is a family suburb with the average adult age at 40 years. This is the prime time for raising a family. You're far more likely to frequent family restaurants which Kingwood has a large variety. Everything from Sharky's, MOD Pizza, Skeeters, Cilantro's , New York Pizzeria, Three B's Grill, Los Cucos, Texas Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel and this doesn't include all of the fast or convenience food places. Restaurant such as Panera Bread, Panda Express, RC's Pizza, Fuddruckers, Pot Belly's Jason's Deli, Chelsea Deli and Cafe, etc, etc. I have lived in Kingwood since 1989 and my wife has been here since 1976. Kingwood has always catered to families when it comes to restaurant dining. This is not a bad thing after all, that is why many of us moved here instead of The Woodlands. When we want fine dining, we don't have to settle for SISCO supplied restaurants that are part of the Landry's chain. We can be in the heart of one of the largest culinary cities in the US in less than 30 minutes. How would you like to drive down I45 at 7:00 PM on a Friday or Saturday night? Not me. The livable forest means that our quality of life is blessed with nature, close community and a great selection of restaurant where we can take our entire family. After all, when all of your children are grown and off to college, there will be plenty of time to search out fine dining. We only have a few years with our children and I for one is thankful that there are so many good family restaurants in Kingwood.
