This is a great place to impress a date or celebrate an anniversary. I loved the food and the decor. The service was very good too. Read more.
Chicken fried steak covered in potato chips is awesome. Not many places in Texas do that. But for an off the order menu try the dr pepper crusted quail. They still make it on request.
Best grilled cheese in town, all fresh ingredients, beware of long waits on weekends.
Back in the day, Oilers fans weren’t allowed to tailgate at the Astrodome. Now, Houston fans park outside Reliant well before kickoff with ol’ fashioned Texas BBQ. If you haven’t already, get some.
The only thing better than the atmosphere is the food! A new Houston gem: tailored, modern, upbeat. Amazing, every time! Read more.

Tex-Mex gold, people. From the margaritas to the fajitas, this original is the standard by which all other Tex-Mex restaurants are measured. [Eater 38 Member]
Chihuahua cheese enchiladas with guajillo-ancho salsa “Roja,” and queso fresco. HURRY UP. Read more.
Excellent weekend brunch location. The lunch menu has something for everyone.

Not sure what you want? Try a sample. Just be careful, you might find yourself torn between a few really hard decisions.
Low-key local joint that has tons of beers & specializes in IPAs. Bartender has been known to shared a patron's homebrew. Wish they were open daytime hours, too. Love the no-frills attitude.
You don't have to bring a dog to enjoy this bar, but with a full-on dog park (gated, of course), you might want to borrow a friend's for the evening.
Burke Baker Planetarium is one of the most advanced in the world. Don't be surprised if you see a few NASA astronauts here as we use the facility to assist with training on starfield identification. Read more.
It's perfect for a date night: intimate dining space, casual vibe, great wine selection and plenty of small Italian plates to share or full entrees if you so desire. [Eater 38 Member]
It's local, fresh, seasonal & casual. Also, the patio is super sweet & the cocktails are original & exciting. [Eater 38 Member]
2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Barbecue Restaurant: To reinforce that homey feeling, be sure to get a hug from Mama Gatlin after your meal on your way out the door!
It's quaint, it's French, it's in Rice Village and it will make you feel like you've stepped into a charming Parisienne cafe. [Eater 38 Member]
Made with four of the creamiest, tangiest cheeses, if you don't order the mac 'n cheese, we guarantee you'll regret it.
"Cafe Dos Leches. Iced coffee with 2 sweet milks.Cold brewed coffee makes all the difference. With house made dulce de leche." via @ziggysgoodfood
Seriously the only bar you can go to by yourself and meet cool people that you can genuinely strike up an intelligent conversation every visit. :-)
Oldest operating building in Houston (http://bit.ly/a31m89). Stare at the bar carvings, put a couple bucks in the jukebox and check out the upstairs balcony (weekends only). Oh, and bring cash.
2010 Best of Houston® Winner: Best Jewish Deli: Drop in for great pancakes and latkes in the morning, and come back for the sandwiches in the afternoon.
You won't be able to see this on their website but they have tables outside by the front doors, in a sort of front porch environment. Great place for a enjoyable date night.
Sunday Brunch is absolutely stellar. Brie Cheese Omelettes, house made beignets, and smoked salmon Benedict's.
