R&R Crafthouse Grill to open second Katy location in September

A Cypress-born burger and Cajun grill is doubling down on west Harris County. R&R Crafthouse Grill plans to open a second Katy location at 6845 Peek Road in September, a move that puts another locally rooted restaurant into one of the county’s busiest suburban growth corridors.

General manager Andrew Bridges confirmed the expansion, which will add a Katy outpost to the restaurant’s existing location at 12910 Malcomson Road in Cypress. For Katy, the opening reflects the kind of neighborhood-to-neighborhood growth that often shapes local dining more than a new national chain does: an established Houston-area concept deciding it has enough demand to justify a second site.

R&R Crafthouse Grill is described as a higher-end hamburger restaurant, but its menu runs well beyond burgers. The restaurant serves sandwiches, chicken, steak, tacos, seafood, flatbreads, salads and hot dogs, along with Cajun-influenced dishes such as boudin balls, po boys, gumbo and red beans and rice. Its official site calls it a neighborhood bar and grill that serves comfort food and American classics made to order, while the restaurant’s about page says it blends a neighborhood spot feel with burger-focused and Cajun cuisine.

That mix has helped define the brand since it first opened in Cypress in 2017. Later ownership changes brought Kyle and Jeanne LeBeouf into the business in 2022, and public records show the permit for the Malcomson Road location began on May 27, 2022. Kyle LeBeouf is a University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduate, adding to the restaurant’s Louisiana-linked Cajun identity.

The Katy opening comes as that part of Harris County continues to pull in rooftops, retail and new restaurant investment. For local diners, the result is straightforward: one more casual sit-down option, and another sign that homegrown brands are seeing enough traction in suburban Houston to expand without leaving their core market. In a county where competition for dining dollars is crowded and constantly shifting, R&R Crafthouse Grill is making a bet that its Cypress base can travel a few miles west and still draw a crowd.
