The Ahi Tuna Burger with wasabi aioli, avocado, tomato, and arugula is also an attention-grabber.

There is, in fact, a big selection of these, including the basic AIG (America is Great Already) Burger, Mac N Cheese Burger and Hangover Burger, loaded with two beef patties, grilled onions and jalapeños, a fried egg, American cheese, mayo, mustard and house sauce.

New Spot’s billing claims “Best Burger in Houston,” which is a bold claim. The Eggs Benedict is great, but the Spicy Eggs Benedict includes chorizo in the Hollandaise sauce, which makes it a kicked-up variation on the brunch staple. The Red Velvet version of the Imperfect Pecan Chicken and Waffles adds a smooth hint of dark chocolate in the mix that goes well with their spicy, battered chicken wings and real maple syrup. Chicken and waffles is ubiquitous these days, but New Spot Eatery offers intriguing variations. The diner fare on the menu stands out because many of the dishes have an interesting, flavorful twist. One is riding on a chopper bike, another robot is wearing a cowboy hat and riding a unicycle and in the mix is an astronaut is wielding an electric bass guitar. “Robots are somewhat generic, yet everyone of all backgrounds sometimes identifies with a robot, or has wanted to be an astronaut.” However, these robots have a “Where’s Waldo” quality and are as diverse as Houston. “Notice that a robot and an astronaut appear on almost every wall,” Shah pointed out. I also wanted a place that represented Houston, its diversity, and that made people feel like they belonged there.”Īll over the walls and fascia are murals by Robynn Sanders, who also painted some at Saint Arnold Brewing Company’s beer garden, as well as on the brewery’s art cars. It opened in November 2018 and is the brainchild of owner/operator Sean Shah, who said, “I wanted to make a restaurant that had things that I liked, and that I knew others would like as well. Murals painted by local artist Robynn Sanders cover the interior of New Spot Eatery in Westchase There’s another, though, that could also fall into the modern diner category: New Spot Eatery, located in the heart of Westchase at 12102 Westheimer. One example is the acclaimed Nancy’s Hustle east of downtown. While Houston only has a few examples of modern diners, (unlike other culinary hubs, such as San Francisco, New York City, or Seattle), some are emerging. A modern diner takes it up a notch, serving great coffee or cold craft beers - and, ideally, the burgers are among the best in town. As traditional diners - those quaint, dated spots for breakfast, blue plate specials or a burger, all accompanied by middling coffee - fall out of favor, a new kind is emerging.
