Park Grill… The Museum District’s “Hidden” Kid Friendly Restaurant

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Park Grill Near Houston Museum of Natural Science
Address: 1213 Hermann Drive, Suite 150, TX 77004

Not many years ago, I was a volunteer at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I did my best to know more than 10 year olds at the “touch carts” in the paleontology hall (but mostly just let them teach me). At lunch time, the long-time HMNS staff would skip the busy museum district restaurants… and head to Park Grill.

Park Grill is hidden away in the medical building, right across from the museum. It’s not super fancy… but it is less crazy than the museum!

Here you order at the counter, and take your food to your seat (or to-go). They have burgers, paninis, breakfast, wraps, salads, coffee, drinks and smoothies.

It is certainly more cafeteria style than some nearby restaurants… but this is where we go when we are tired of the crowds at the museum. Check it out if you want to grab lunch without the fuss!

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!
