ABOUT THIRTEEN
Thirteen is an upscale, elevated dining restaurant offering an unmeasurable experience right in the heart of Midtown Houston, Tx. Founded by NBA Star, James Harden, Thirteen was a labor of love built on Harden's passion for excellent food and wine, while bringing something different and fresh to the city that you can't find anywhere else.
I wanted to bring a culinary experience that mimicked some of the finest dining experiences that I've gathered from across the globe. In times of hardship, particularly during the pandemic when the city was reeling, it was our shared love for culinary exploration that offered a solace and connection to the people of this city. It's from this spirit of resilience and community that Thirteen emerged.
