Tinys No.5
$$$$•American•4.8(173)Nestled in the heart of West University, Tiny’s No. 5 is a chef-driven restaurant rooted in scratch-made cooking, exceptional hospitality, and a deep connection to the neighborhood. Opened in the historic JMH grocery building from the 1940s, the restaurant takes its name from the iconic red sign that once sat atop the roof. Our menus celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients, with produce and seafood delivered daily and many ingredients made in-house—from our baked goods to honey harvested from our own bees. Wood-fired pizzas, house-made flatbreads, and the daily catch are just a few of the dishes prepared in our wood-burning oven each night. Above all, we are committed to creating a warm, welcoming experience for every guest.Davis Street
