Many think of the broken spoke as the famous country dance hall in Austin. But this broken spoke refers to a quaint family-run Belgian restaurant just outside of downtown Houston. The broken spoke they are referring to is a bicycle spoke and the restaurant is covered with bicycles---very popular in Europe. The food was scrumptious and served by what seemed to be the chef and owner, a very sweet woman who sounded like French was her first language. I had the cordon bleu along with an excellent Belgian beer called. It came in a large 16oz bottle and was delicious. But, if you?re watching your pennies, be sure to ask the about the beer prices. The beer menu didn?t list any prices and when the bill arrived I found out that my yummy beer was $14.95. At least it wasn?t fifteen dollars! ;-) But that didn?t hinder my experience. I will definitely be visiting this local caf? again soon!
Pros: Belgian beer selection, family-run atmosphere, food
Cons: Not open late
