INTRODUCTION

Located in the heart of Houston’s museum district, Granger's is an upscale-casual neighborhood restaurant and bar that specializes in serving classic American cuisine alongside signature cocktails and carefully selected wines in a dining room filled with old-world charm and timeless décor.

Granger's is looking for great people to lead its opening team. This is an extremely exciting time! We are looking for team members who embody our vision of a dining experience and are ready to help write the next chapter on this journey as food service leaders in the Houston Museum District.
