Jerry Built is a locally-owned restaurant with locations in The Woodlands and Houston that serves organic ingredients and sources sustainable, seasonal items from local and regional farmers to provide only the freshest ingredients. Don't you just love places that supports local farmers and businesses?
Last week the boys and I were treated to a tasting of some of Jerry Built's seasonal items and they did not disappoint! Their menu is overflowing with wonderful burger options like the Truffle Mushroom and Swiss and the Houston which have both been taste-tested and approved by my family on previous occasions, but this time around I decided to go a different route and try their seasonal salad, the Autumn Harvest. It was delicious and covered in pumpkin seeds, pears, goat cheese and their housemade local honey vinaigrette. Two words: Yu um!
The boys really had a treat - their kids menu offers a hamburger, chicken strips and all-beef hot dog, but if you ask nicely theyll hook you up with some to-die-for mac and cheese that is picky-child approved! Please remind your kids to save room for the milkshakes made with seasonal-flavored Blue Bell ice cream as well!
On a side note, when you're there you must also try their fried pickles and blueberry lemonade with those great little ice pellets you cant just find anywhere. Really, it's the small details that make a restaurant a great place to visit and Jerry Built has them in abundance!
