Hudson House Set to Bring Popular Dallas-Based Restaurant Concept to Katy's LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch
Katy residents may soon have another highly anticipated dining destination to add to their list as plans move forward for a new Hudson House location at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch.
According to recently filed construction documents, Hudson House is slated to open at 2643 Commercial Center Boulevard, Suite B390, Katy, TX 77494, within LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch Phase II, occupying the former World of Beer space. The project carries an estimated construction cost of $1.25 million and involves the renovation of approximately 5,586 square feet, combining two existing tenant spaces into a single restaurant concept.
Construction is expected to begin in August 2026, with completion targeted for December 2026.
What Hudson House Could Mean for Katy Diners
For residents in Katy, Cinco Ranch and surrounding West Houston communities, the arrival of Hudson House would represent another significant addition to the area's expanding restaurant scene.
The Dallas-based concept has built a loyal following across North Texas and has steadily expanded throughout the state, including successful Houston-area locations in River Oaks and Rice Village. Known for blending an upscale atmosphere with a relaxed neighborhood feel, Hudson House has become one of the more recognizable brands within the Vandelay Hospitality Group portfolio.
The restaurant draws inspiration from the culinary traditions of New York's Hudson Valley while incorporating the casual gathering-place atmosphere associated with neighborhood restaurants.
For Katy residents, the planned opening would bring a concept that has often generated long waitlists and strong demand in other Texas markets.
A Look at the Hudson House Menu
Hudson House has become particularly known for several signature offerings, including East Coast oysters, sushi selections, seafood-focused dishes and its widely promoted "World's Coldest Martini." The restaurant's menu features a combination of seafood, comfort food and classic American fare.
Popular menu items at existing locations include:
- East Coast oysters and raw bar selections
- Lobster rolls
- Pan-seared redfish
- Maple-planked salmon
- Steak frites
- Fish tacos
- Sushi rolls and sashimi offerings
- The Hudson House Cheeseburger, one of the restaurant's most frequently praised menu items
- Entrée salads featuring shrimp, tuna and chicken options
The restaurant also offers an extensive wine list, specialty cocktails and weekday happy hour programming.
LaCenterra Continues to Strengthen Its Dining Lineup
The addition of Hudson House continues a broader trend of restaurant growth at LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, one of Katy's premier mixed-use destinations.
Located at the intersection of Grand Parkway and Cinco Ranch Boulevard, LaCenterra serves as a regional hub for shopping, dining, entertainment and community events. The development attracts visitors from across Katy, Fulshear, Richmond and West Houston, making it a highly sought-after location for expanding restaurant brands.
The center has increasingly become known for attracting both national names and Texas-based concepts, helping transform the area into one of the region's most active dining districts.
As population growth continues across Katy and Fort Bend County, demand for destination restaurants and elevated dining experiences has remained strong.
Growing Texas Footprint
Once complete, Katy would become Hudson House's latest Texas location, joining existing restaurants in:
- Highland Park
- Addison
- Lakewood
- Preston Hollow
- West Village
- Frisco
- Las Colinas
- Fort Worth
- River Oaks
- Rice Village
The expansion reflects the continued growth of the brand beyond its Dallas roots and further investment in the Houston metropolitan area.
What Happens Next
While Hudson House has not officially announced the Katy location, the construction plans offer a strong indication that the restaurant is moving forward with its expansion into Cinco Ranch. As with any development project, timelines could shift before the restaurant ultimately opens its doors.
For Katy diners, the filing is another glimpse at what's potentially headed to LaCenterra's restaurant lineup. The area has seen a steady stream of new dining concepts in recent years, and Hudson House would bring a brand that many Houstonians already know from its River Oaks and Rice Village locations.
As construction progresses, additional details regarding opening timelines, hiring opportunities and grand opening events may become available.
