Normally at this point I'd be quoting an about section or company info section from the website. However, this is not entirely available. As such I will share a few things I have learned from digging around the web. Barnaby was a big sheep dog that was the owner's best friend who passed away back when the owner was 12 years old. When the owner later opened their first restaurant, he named it after his childhood pal. Clearly the owner has has put his heart into these local neighborhood joints. Barnaby’s, known for its consistently fresh and healthy dishes and dog (and human) friendly patios, is located in a more than a few Houston neighborhoods. They are known in the general public for being family friendly, pet friendly with respect to their patios (especially dogs!), and to be welcoming for people of all types across any demographic you can break down. We came out on a Sunday for brunch and found a great plethora of items on their breakfast menu. While their menus are one pagers, they have a good variety of options that would please any palate. As our family has a mixture of palates, we went with four somewhat divergent items and everybody shared a bit of each. I ordered a Annie's low-fat high protein breakfast burrito--Sis egg whites, grilled chicken and jack cheese (you can get black beans but I nixed them and added the cheese) wrapped in a tortilla. it comes with sliced tomatoes, salsa and spent a little extra for some guacamole. We also tried some green eggs (two scramble eggs with spinach, artichoke hearts & jack cheese, served with chicken apple sausage and fried potatoes. Helena went for the red velvet pancakes with cream cheese icing, maple syrup and bacon. And jason went with a short stack of buttermilk pancakes and bacon a la carte. As you can see from the photos, this stuff is nicely plated and looks really good. Looks are not deceiving. We also enjoyed fresh coffee and OJ with our meal as well. Though the Shepherd Location was really busy this sunny Sunday morning, our food was delivered hot and fresh. Of course, the proof of the pudding is in the eating and... The burrito was substantial--plenty of egg whites, and chicken, nicely grilled, hot on the inside and the cheese I had added was properly melted. The tomatoes were fresh sliced, juicy, but didn't have water running everywhere onto the plate. The guacamole was creamy and a little spicy, but they didn't go crazy with the onions in it either. The green eggs are a great scrambler of a dish--great for those who love a spinach artichoke casserole I'd say. The fried potatoes are hot, crispy, fresh, soft inside and are even better with a little of their house salsa on top. Jason was very happy with his pancakes, describing them as fluffy, good at soaking up the real maple syrup taht was included therein. I was quite fond of the chicken apple sausage that was served with the Green Eggs--savoury, a little sweet too, juicy, meaty. Of no suprise the star of the order was the Red Velvet Pancakes with cream cheese icing and a sprig of mint on top. Though maple syrup was included, it wasn't needed. This gives you a pancake, breakfast permissible version of a small piece of red velvet cake. Overall a delicious breakfast that we all enjoyed.
