Restaurant Info
Rice Village has been one of Houston's go-to neighborhoods since 1938 — 16 blocks of independent shops, international restaurants, and the kind of walkable energy that most of the city doesn't have. Hopdoddy is on Morningside Drive right in the heart of it, just west of Rice University, with patio seating overlooking Morningside Plaza. We're walking distance from campus, minutes from Hermann Park, the Houston Zoo, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Natural Science, and the Children's Museum — which makes us an easy stop before or after pretty much anything happening in the Museum District. West University, Southside Place, and the Medical Center are all right here too. Everything is made the way it should be — buns baked in-house, fries hand-cut from Chipperbec potatoes, and a full bar with hand-shaken margaritas, craft cocktails, local Houston drafts, and boozy milkshakes. Rice Village has over 300 shops and more restaurants than you can hit in a month. We're the one where the burger gets its own tray. Come for lunch between classes, stay for happy hour after work, or make us your dinner spot.
Happy Hour:M-F, 3-6PM
Happy Hour:
M-Th, 3-6pm
Looking for the best happy hour? Hopdoddy hosts the happiest of them all with 1/2 off cocktails, beer & wine Monday through Thursday from 3-6PM. Our crispy chicken tenders & sliders are the perfect after work snack. And of course we have bowls & bowls of sharable fries (to share, or not).
Burgers + More
Hopdoddy serves handcrafted burgers across a lineup you won't find anywhere else - from the rich, buttery Wagyu Smash to the sushi-inspired Ahi Tuna burger to the fiery Nashville Hot Fried Chicken. With Angus beef, bison, tuna, and chicken on the menu, we think about burgers differently so you don't have to settle for the same old thing. Cutting carbs? Get your burger on a lettuce wrap or try one of our protein salad bowls. More flavors of hand-cut fries than you'll find anywhere, made fresh daily from potatoes grown specifically to be fries. Every bowl is built for sharing. Our tossed and sauced crispy brussels sprout leaves are the sleeper hit on the menu. Unlike your typical burger spot, every Hopdoddy has a full bar with hand-shaken margaritas, craft cocktails, local beer on tap, and boozy milkshakes.
Proximity to Airport
Hopdoddy Rice Village is about a 30-minute drive from William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and about a 40-minute drive from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). Drive times vary, but the jaunt will be well worth it for the best burgers inside the loop!
Nearby Attractions
It’s no secret that Rice Village is the shopping haven of Houston with over 300 shops in a 16-block area—ranging from eclectic, local boutiques to high-end, national retailers—it offers a sprawling selection to fit your style. But Rice Village has mucho to discover beyond duds. Grab a to-go Hopdoddy cocktail on your way to stroll the trails or lounge lakeside at Hermann Park. Load up with a light lunch—fresh-tossed salads for the bigs and crispy chicken tenders for the littles—before visiting the Houston Zoo, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Natural Science, or Children’s Museum. Kick off a night out with a Hopdoddy house-made burger, and head over to the Miller Outdoor Theater for a show or The Continental Club for some live music. Day or night, Hopdoddy is here to feed the fun!
