Throw-It-Down Thursday! UH Dining is proud to implement The Front Porch at Cougar Woods. This casual, outdoor space features a rustic-chic ambiance and offers ample room for safe distancing, fresh air and a delicious meal. String lights suspended over tables, chairs and whiskey barrels give this dining spot plenty of character. Every week, The Front Porch features “Throw-It-Down Thursday,” a time for the UH culinary team to show off their talents on the big BBQ smoker. With mouthwatering aromas, trendy lighting and Texas moonlight, The Front Porch is just the space students need.
