The Night Hawk restaurant holds a unique place in both Austin's and Hoover’s history, where Hoover first discovered his passion for food while working there during his college years. From rolling out pie dough to managing the kitchen, Hoover learned the restaurant business from the ground up, refining his skills at iconic Austin institutions before returning to his roots. Today, Hoover’s Cooking blends Southern influences, showcasing Hoover’s journey and love for the diverse flavors of Texas.

Over the years, Hoover's has been fortunate to have been featured in many publications and television shows, both near and wide. You can even find us in a few cookbooks: One Big Table, Austin Breakfast Tacos, The Texas Holiday Cookbook. Check our most recent press on our Facebook page.
