Southern Yankee Crafthouse in Houston

Good atmosphere - great beers and pizza

Can't wait to go back and try more items, from original cocktails/beers to the crafted ones created on spot to the varieties in the menu I am a fan.  Location on Alabama at what used to be Good Dog. Setting - House Parking - Private across the street...though its like playing frogger when crossing Alabama so be careful. Outdoor - patio in front which is covered and out back uncovered Inside seating - couches/tables/bar Atmosphere - casual, comfortable, and welcoming Drinks - had an array all were great from beer to cocktails.  All beers are crafted from their brewery just south of Spring, Tx.  They have some very unique ones...definitely get the flight 5 oz pours. Food - Chef Matt got skills.  I tried only a couple of items but read the room while ppl were devouring their selections.  I seen someone scraping up every morsel of a chicken pot pie which wasn't on the menu...just seen today its only a Feb item.   Me and a friend split philly cheesesteak pizza which was a tiny runny, but the dough wow was soon good I powered through the wetness to get to the crust.  I could eat a how tray of just the crust. The main reason I went in there was the pork belly.  i am a big fan of the pork belly at Sui Lap on milam, and of course you can't really compare these 2 especially at price point.  Where Sui Lap you can get 2 whole meals for the price of just this pork belly plate at Southern Yankee, but I'm telling you it is way worth it.  It is seasoned amazingly, it has the right amount of crisp to tenderness.  It is well worth the price point IMO. Definitely will be back to try that chicken pot pie and of course another round of the pork belly. Great place to come if you like ordering a bunch of shareable items.

SY Crafthouse is wonderful. We live in the neighborhood and love having this place as home base. The food is amazing, pizzas are great variety but the BURGER is one of the best in the city. Beer list is high variety and great, service has been super fun and engaging. We come here as often as we can!
