Colonial House of Sandwiches

Editorial pick · In Baytown What these labels mean

Old-school sandwiches since 1981, and the pink lemonade people still talk about.

See photos on Google Maps

A lunch counter that never got the memo about fast casual. Opened in 1981. Stacked sandwiches — the hot roast beef is a fork situation — a dining room of regulars, pink lemonade that has its own reputation, a chocolate-chip cookie people mention in the same breath.

Weekdays they run later than the lunch-only rumor (until 6 Mon–Thu). Friday they close at 3. Saturday 2:30. Sunday they rest. This is the anti-Garth-chain on Garth. First responders will tell you to go.

Vietnamese-Cajun on Garth. Crawfish that ruins other crawfish. Beignets after.
