A fusion feast at Jupiter.
Don’t let the city’s name fool you. Even though Sugar Land is the sweetest city in Texas, it is also one of the best places for savory eats! Sugar Land’s food scene is known for its diversity and unique cultural influences from all over the world. So, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’d like to highlight some of the best Latino-Owned restaurants.
Jupiter Waffles & Co.
Jupiter is a fusion restaurant that takes a fun approach to your favorite American foods while using local, fresh, and organic ingredients. Sip on their barista-grade coffee as you relish in their delicious pizzas, or specialty waffles. Their most popular, must-try dish is the Southern Belle which is fried chicken on waffles: The chicken is tender and juicy on the inside, and crisp and fried-to-perfection on the outside. The meat rests on a warm, fluffy waffle bed that is just as good on its own as it is if you add syrup! This signature dish is bound to have you coming back for more!
