Lake House Cafe at Discovery Green

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Address: 1600 McKinney St, Houston, TX 77010

This is the restaurant the Discovery-Green-Moms know well. The parents and caregivers that play at the park, go to Toddler Tuesday, the ICE and the many weekly events know that Lake House Cafe is the easiest option for lunch… and in the best location.

Right in the middle of the park, The Lake House has glass walls and a patio that overlooks the lake (and ICE rink), the splashpad and the lawn.

The restaurant serves burgers, tacos and hot dogs and more. The prices are a little high for easy food… but not outrageous and maybe even better than you might expect in one of Houston’s most popular destinations. See the menu HERE.

Since we spend so much time at Discovery Green, we’ve been to The Lake House about a million times. My son is always determined to get the French fries and I always get the veggie burger.

You order at the counter, take your seat and wait for the buzzer to buzz. The Lake House has their own restrooms, right around the corner of the counter… plus their is an ATM in case you need it for the monthly flea market at Discovery Green.

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
