New Restaurant Alert: Granger's Is a Welcome Addition to the Museum District

New Restaurant Alert: Granger's Is a Welcome Addition to the Museum District

THE MUSEUM DISTRICT hasn't always been the easiest place to open and operate a restaurant, for some reason. But there's a Houston couple who seems to have gotten the hang of it — and today they unveil their newest concept on Binz St.

Ryan and Josephine Granger have opened Granger's, with classic but elevated American food a la steaks, seafood and bourbon-pecan pie. It combines neighborhood-diner vibes with polished finishes, a departure from the other more casual restaurants the Grangers run in the area — Bodegas Taco Shop and Fia's Pizzeria, along with a catering business, which are all under the umbrella of the Grangers' HTX Restaurant Group.

The new Granger's is huge, with 7,000 square feet, a centerpiece bar, and three private-dining rooms. The front patio will no doubt be packed once the mercury drops — though shade from the 100-year-old oak trees will help in the meantime! The whole setting is a lovely place to sample the extensive menu, with offerings like the indulgent Weekend in Wimberley salad with bourbon-glazed pears, pecans and bacon lardons; classic New England clam chowder with grilled-sourdough crostini; chicken-fried chicken with horseradish-whipped potatoes; dijon-crusted salmon and more. There's a whole section on the menu dedicated to steaks, and the $255 Baller Board comes with all three cuts and sides including green veggies plus Oscar sauce and merlot demiglaze. Yum.

Granger's is open for lunch, dinner and happy hour — great wine menu! — daily; a weekend brunch menu will follow shortly.

Hallie Keller

Michelle Reyna Wymes, Owner of The Reyna Group

WHAT'S THE SECRET to running a successful business? It is so important to stay present every day. With the fast-paced patterns of today’s society and ever-evolving technologies, I stress to our agents how important it is to continue to learn. If one reaches a point at which the ego takes over or burnout sets in and progress takes a back seat, things will get stuck. Regardless of what field you are in, I believe in starting with the basics to set and strengthen your foundation. I treat everyone we work with from our contractors, clients, to our inspectors with respect, patience and care.

Thrive & Inspire ’24: Adamson and Gibson Say Work Extra Hard, ‘They Don’t Have to See Your Sweat’

Phoebe Rourke

JD Adamson & Tony Gibson, Realtors®️ at Douglas Elliman Real Estate

WHAT IS THE secret to a successful real estate business? Clear communication, reconciling requirements with desires, and preemptively managing expectations are paramount to a win-win deal. There is an art to predicting clients’ wants before they do; deep listening is a key ingredient. Behind-the-scenes efforts often mitigate client anxiety levels more than outward actions — avoid an urge to wear the hustle like a badge. It’s okay to work harder than it appears you do. They don’t have to see you sweat. Keep egos in check and empathy levels high. Make room for openness. Do business with friends and protect their money. The deck is stacked in our client’s favor when objectives are clear and goals are stated. A compromise is not a defeat; it is an elegant solution. Always aim for a win-win deal; if that isn’t viable, you must win.
