I'm not Nostradamus, but if LePeep can learn new tricks with a location that had been around for 30 years, something tells me they'll be around for another 30 years.This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Plus, I give high marks to any place that serves their butter melted. It's got just the right amount of crispness and actually tastes like a waffle, rather than a pancake that's been run through a waffle iron. While there's plenty to enjoy on their menu, for my money it's all about their waffle, which may be the best in the city. The new Galleria-area location is more in line with their Memorial City location, full of lighter colors and big windows that let in an ample amount of sunlight. With their darker colors, they felt more like dinner restaurants rather than a place to start the day off. The interiors of some of the older LePeep locations always struck me as a bit weird. ![]() Having sampled their mimosas, it tastes like their alcohol program is starting off on the right foot. Visitors at the Galleria-area LePeep now have a variety of choices from LeBar, including mimosas, Bloody Marys, Salty Dogs and coffee with a kick, in addition to beer and wine. Houston loves its Sunday Fundays, and talking to operators Mark Mobley and Brendon Murphy, they made mention of the fact that they didn't want people looking for a great brunch to skip over LePeep just because they want a boozy addition to their meal. The biggest change is the introduction of alcohol to the drink menu.
