Creative small plates with an enormous number of spirits and classic cocktails.

Really knowledgable and friendly staff and they have soooo many different beers.

Excellent service, quality and portions.

An absolute legend in the Houston area. If you've ever wondered what a steakhouse would be like with a waterfall inside, you can find out at Brenner's. I recommend the Akuashi Strip. Not only is it one of my favorite cuts but the breed is one of the most tender and sublime I've ever tried.

Relaxed BBQ joint that is anything but casual on quality. I'm a sucker for the rib sandwich, but the Ravens Bowl and the brisket are also top-notch.

Strong chain of restaurants with excellent quality meals and service.

Casual space with very fresh and tasty seafood and friendly staff.

Solid creative burgers and meals with a fun atmosphere and great service.

Monday steak nights are great, but the fried pickles are perfect anytime.

Great little pizza shop with tons of choices both for your pie and craft beers to enjoy.

Relaxed venue with live bands, good food, and great people.

Tasty Cajun cuisine made from scratch with lots of flavor and heart. Great prices on the lunch platters and the combos too.

Juicy, perfectly cooked brisket is hard to come by but not at The Pit Room. You can order to your hearts content (and go back for seconds). The housemade sauce is key but almost secondary compared to the quality of the meat.

Fresh juices and 'mylks' that are really tasty and really good for you.

Lovely little bar'ish style boutique with a small but quality selection of wines. Great for an afternoon with the in-laws, or anytime for wine lovers.

Creative and innovative latin fare like the spicy tuna and mango guacamole pairs well with the fine service and lovely facade at Bar Rita.

Great beer and service. The TPA is probably my favorite beer.

Fun Irish pub with great service and prices. Seafood available as well as pub grub and oysters.
