Recommended Posts

Thanks! Including the addresses would be helpful too. It's useful when searching for specific properties. Additionally, an address makes it likely this topic will appear in web search results.

 

The proposed subdivision plat for Second Amended Map of Live Oaks Partial Replat No. 2 includes:

  • 1103 S Shepherd Dr
  • 1107 S Shepherd Dr
  • 1109 S Shepherd Dr
  • 1201 S Shepherd Dr




Also, this property is considered to be in River Oaks:

River Oaks restaurant Backstreet Cafe temporarily closes due to repairs

The rich history of Backstreet Cafe in Houston's River Oaks


And from Backstreet Cafe's website:


Housed in a cozy '30s-era house in Houston's River Oaks, Backstreet Cafe affords diners several cozy dining areas on two levels.

  • The title was changed to Backstreet Cafe - 1103 S Shepherd Dr.

Planning Commission approved the plat. Staff said they are going to demolish the existing restaurant and build a new on the western part of the plat. I know personally that they have been having problems with the current house that was converted in to the restaurant and have done repairs on it recently.

Backstreet Cafe opened in October 1983 at 1103 South Shepherd wedged between Newhouse and McDuffie streets. While an opening date has not been set, the new location will only be a few steps away at 1201 South Shepherd, where the office for the couple’s H Town Restaurant Group is currently located. 

Permits have been filed for the estimated $2.25 million project slated to finish by November next year, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. 

The new space is expected to span two floors and 6,600 square feet compared to the current 4,500 square feet. Colby Design, which has worked on other H Town restaurants, is listed as the design firm.
