Texas-Grown & Farm-Fresh

Hoover Alexander’s passion for food is rooted in Texas soil, inspired by his upbringing on a family farm in Utley. From freshly picked peas and melons to farm-raised meats, he grew up eating what is now called "farm-to-table." Thanks to strong relationships with local farmers, Hoover’s Cooking continues to bring fresh, high-quality ingredients to every plate, honoring the rich traditions of Texas cuisine.

Night Hawk Legacy & A Passion For Food

Night Hawk Legacy & A Passion For Food
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.

Hoover’s Cooking is 26 years old!
For the last two decades, Hoover’s Cooking has been serving up honest-to-goodness good Texas cooking – and we felt like that was a reason to celebrate! So on October 16, 2018, we held our 20-year anniversary party. Have a listen to what the folks at KOKE FM had to say in an interview with Hoover the day after. Thanks again to Bob Cole and the fine folks at KOKE FM and to everyone who came out to party with us. We appreciate your support.
