Paul's even has a build your own omelet and waffle station, homemade bacon and sausage, dense breakfast biscuits, and standouts like their shrimp and crab campechana.

EAST END — Kitchen 713 is still without a alcohol or BYOB license, but this hasn't stopped in-the-know crowds from flocking to this east end spot for the amazing brunch. The restaurant is relatively small with limited seating and isn't particularly glam, but posh aesthetics aside this is one of the top places in Houston for Southern-inspired cuisine, with quite possibly the best shrimp and grits in Houston.
