Honest Mary’s Is Expanding to Spring Branch: Here’s What to Expect

Spring Branch continues to attract new dining concepts, and one of Austin’s popular fast-casual brands is next in line.

Honest Mary’s is opening a new location at Greenside, located at 1085 Gessner Road, bringing its signature grain bowls and health-forward menu to one of Houston’s fastest-evolving neighborhoods.

A New Addition to the Spring Branch Dining Scene

Plans show the new Honest Mary’s will occupy a 2,300-square-foot space within the Greenside development, offering both dine-in and takeout options. Construction is expected to begin in late April, with a projected completion timeline by the end of August — positioning the restaurant to open later this year if schedules stay on track. For Spring Branch residents, this marks another step in the area’s ongoing transformation into a more diverse, food-forward destination.

What Honest Mary’s Is Known For

If you’ve visited their River Oaks location, you already know the concept: quick, customizable meals built around fresh, nutrient-focused ingredients.

The menu typically features:

• Build-your-own grain and salad bowls
• Lean proteins and plant-based options
• House-made sauces and seasonal toppings
• Fast service designed for lunch crowds and on-the-go dining

It’s a model that appeals to a growing number of Houstonians looking for healthier options without sacrificing convenience.

Why This Location Makes Sense

Spring Branch has become a hotspot for new development in recent years, with a steady influx of residential growth, office users, and mixed-use projects. Greenside, in particular, is positioning itself as a neighborhood retail hub — and adding a concept like Honest Mary’s reflects the demand for casual, everyday dining options that fit modern lifestyles.

For nearby residents and workers, this means:

• More accessible healthy lunch and dinner choices
• A convenient grab-and-go option during the workday
• Another layer of variety in an already expanding food scene

Looking Ahead

As Houston’s dining landscape continues to evolve, brands like Honest Mary’s are finding opportunities in neighborhoods beyond the traditional hotspots.
With its Spring Branch location on the way, the concept is poised to become a regular stop for locals looking for a quick, balanced meal in a rapidly growing part of the city.
