Lets talk about the best places to eat in Houston. You start.
McDonalds
>>7266419
Big Mac
>>7266405
Whataburger
Joe Kegans; best BBQ in town.
>>7266405
Anywhere outside the city limits of Houston
I got a steak and garlic mash and a pint of beer at Under the Volcano near Rice...
Nobi Public House in Webster
>>7266405
>Petrol Station
>Liberty Kitchen
>Cottonwood
>Underbelly
>Reef
>Gatlins
>La Crawfish
Those are a few places that I like. Also Cajun Stop in east downtown as the best po boys I have tasted while living in Houston.
I am going to be working near the Texas Medical Centre in February - is there anywhere good to eat and drink around there.?
Rudy's BBQ in Spring.
>>7268190
Not sure about eating but Kelvin Arms and Hans Bier Haus are not to far if you want to get a drink.
>>7268199
I'll look them up - are they also good places to chat up women?
>>7268199
Anywhere is a good place to chat up women senpai
Poke on da run
>>7266405
>Mala Sichuan
>LA Fisherman
Those are my 2 current favorites. I love Houston
>>7268215
Is there a Houston location? Google only shows a Hawaii location
Native houstonian here. You gotta get beaner food and gook food while you're in Houston.
Laredo Taqueria on Washington ave. bomb ass 'cos and menudo. Always Mexicans lined up at the door to get in.
Pho dahn on FM 1960 and fallbrook across from the car dealership. Only sells pho and noodle related dishes. (So no goi cuong or com dishes)
Eat some dim sum at Hong Kong market on bellaire
>>7268174
Killens is far better for BBQ than Gatlins. The only bad thing is it's all the way in Pearland, but trust me it's worth it.
Also I fucking love Liberty Kitchen, best brunch in the whole city IMO.
I'll add some of my favorites:
Down House
B&B Butchers
Uchi
BRC
Revival Market
Mais
Onion Creek/Ceder Creek/Canyon Creek/Dry Creek
Lola's
>>7268427
>Lola's
Best basic breakfast in town. I frequent Shepherd Park quite a bit which is owned by the same guy.
I live in the Oak Forest/Heights area so Gatlin's is super close for BBQ. But it feels like now they are trying to be like Franklin's.
>>7268524
Lol I figured you lived in the area based on the restaurants you listed. I live in the heights myself as well. I like Shepard park too, In fact I love all of Ken's restaurants. Have you tried republic diner that he just opened? It's where witchcraft used to be. It's pretty good.
>>7268561
I go to the Kroger's right by Witchcraft and didn't realize it closed down. I'm off tomorrow so might have to go check it out.
Gyros Wings at West Oak Mall, best fucking Gyro on the planet.
Also all the Gook, Nigger and Mexican food places are not all cracked up to be as this """"""Houstonians"""""" claim to be. Don't let the Louisiana refugees and Mexicans taint your view of my fair city.
>>7269693
>Houston
>Fair city
As a native Woodlandsian I find that pretty kek worthy.
Brewery tours on the weekends
Moontower Inn
Bombay Pizza
Niko Nikos
La Carafe is a neat little creepy bar and I think its the oldest establishment in houston
Alicia's Mex Restaurant makes the best margaritas ive had
Mambos
The Shack out towards Cypress has great burgers
Mels Cafe in tomball
Pappadeuxs
Napoli's Pizza off Grant rd
tons of good taco trucks and vietnamese places
I am the cat guy in greenspoint and Ill be monitoring this thread, gonna try some of these places Im always looking for more good food, ill add anything else that comes to mind
>pic is a burger from Moontower Inn and one of the 99 beers on tap
>>7270001
Fucking Mels
They have some damn good burgers
>>7270001
Moon Tower is good but those tiny plastic cups for beer piss me off every time.
bump for more houston foods
Bubba's Burger Shack. Holy fucking shit, those are the best burgers I've ever had in my life.
>>7272239
For burgers in Houston, I really like Bernies burger bus. I heard they got a brick and mortar store front but I still haven't been. Also try Hubcap grill and Stanton city bites. Also Lankford Grocery (weird name, great burgers) is an institution. They've been on an episode of diners drive ins and dives.
all my fellow houston bros never been to big burger V?
come on now, fucking awesome food, great prices.
>>7272787
Beck's Prime, son
Torchy's Tacos is great.
>>7272835
its trendy trash
>>7272836
Your face is trendy trash
>>7269764
Never thought I'd see another Woodlander on /ck/.
Cochran's Crossing, represent.
>>7270001
>cat guy from greenspoint
>moontower inn, bombay pizza, niko nikos
If I still lived in Houston we'd probably be bros.
>>7272917
Who Atascocita/Kingwood/Humble area shithole here?
Red Lion. El Tiempo. Kenny and Ziggy's. Moontower Inn. Papa Geno's Cheesesteaks. Luigi's Pizzaria. Star Pizza. Niko Niko's. Hubcap Grill. Bar B Q Inn. Timmy Chans (niggers).
>>7273128
Have you ever had Bowl Cafe? They have a really good potroast sandwich, and the salads are really good.
>>7273135
Yes but I don't remember it. It was a hangover meal. There were lots of good places around there. House of Pies, Brown Bag Deli, Barnaby's, Beck's Prime, 59 Diner, yadda yadda.
>>7273143
Ever had Irma's downtown by minute maid park? Mole chicken enchiladas are amazing, and the strawberry lemonade is good too, super expensive
Also the best place to eat at night used to be Ruchi's Taqeria on Shephard and West Alabama but they closed it, demolished it and built another CVS even though theres another one a mile away. That place was wild as fuck at night, 24/7. And the food was good, and if you knew somebody who worked there they'd give you coffee mugs full of liqour after 2 a.m. as long as you didn't get out of hand and tipped well. Also the taco truck on West Alabama by the icehouse made the best tacos in town, if you don't believe me then go try it.
>>7273095
I know that taco stand. One of the best tacos I've ever had.
>>7272835
Torchy's is shit bro.
Taconmadre on Edgebrook
Has anyone eaten at Karbach since they opened the restaurant with the expansion. I am thinking about going today.
Moved out of Houston 6 months ago for my job but I swear I ordered Chinese delivery from this family-owned joint called "New Yang" near Richmond and like Gessner every fucking day for 4 years.
Their shit was fresh as fuck and portions were huge but their shop is ghetto cause they are in the heart of niggerville. They took orders online to which was fucking weird
>>7268155
YO. I was just there yesterday.
India Cuisine by Nasa is 10/10 in the evenings. Had the best Vindaloo of my life there.
Also Thai Stellar, which is nearby. It's run by Thai peeps, so the chefs aren't just some fucking Mexicans following a cookbook.
There's Yummy's Mongolian Stir Fry right by where I live, shit's like a 4 min drive from my house. It's a lot like Ghengis Grill, but better.
Tradicao on Bay Area Blvd is expensive as fuck, but it's badass. It's a Brazilian steakhouse where you get a card with a red or green side. Dudes go around with amazing meats and if your card is green on your table they stop and carve some off onto your plate. It's endless meats of all kinds, until you're ready to burst.
Micheladas at Connie's
Anywhere good around Tomball/Spring?
>>7274018
Theres a wingstop over there
>>7268190
Dimassi's medditerranean buffet down the street from NRG stadium. Good kebap fare and all that
>>7273154
They got a ruchis at fuqua and 45 andan other one at westheimer
>>7273887
Mein fucking neger. For real. Did you try campos azul? The little blue one down edgebrook? They offer free grilled onions and serranos with their orders. One dollar tacos plus charros beans
>>7266405
The Ruth's Chris on Westheimer was fantastic last time I went, but be prepared to drop a few hundred.
There's a mexican lady in a gas station right around pic related on Westheimer/Wilcrest that makes fantastic tacos.
Ekko's Greek Deli is in a few places, very good gyros.
The Original Marini's Empanada House is a nice little hole in the wall that has all sorts of hot tea and great empanadas.
>>7274012
Yup. And their shrimp fried rice is good too.
>>7274429
>forgot pic
Also, First Wok near the Galleria is the best cheap chinese food in the area.
>texas
>>7274437
Heres your (You)
>>7268427
Mai's is a shit. It's only good when it's the only place still open and you're drunk and hungry.
Best pho is pho Saigon on Milam.
Now I will name some of my favorites:
Gyu Kaku
Pass and Provisions
Reef
Barnaby's
Torchy's
Shepard Park has really good hot wings
Jinya
Fat Bao
Chickfila
Pic rel8ed is Gyu-kaku. Probably my favorite atm.
>>7274538
pic looks pretentious as fuck
Texas is about the comfort food, large portions, the MEAT, and fuck-you-here-cayenne spices.
That being said, I'd like to try that place.
Can confirm that Jinya is great.
>>7274567
It's called plating you fucking pleb. Also when you said large portions you reminded me of this Mexican restaurant called Teotihican. Best tex-mex in Htown
>>7275024
I've literally been to fine dining all over the world.
Anyone who gives you ONE shrimp is a fucking asshole.
That pictures is not an example of good plating.
>>7273927
greenspoint cat guy here
yes its good but retarded overpriced, would have rather hit the food truck
>lived in houston for 5 years
>never been to 90% of these places
I've been missing out, haven't I
>>7274538
>>7275024
People like you who claim they know all the best places annoy me, especially when your favorite place looks like shit.
like this anon >>7275118 said, I've lived here over 30 years, i literally try new places every week, and I've got a list of new places to try from this thread. Just contribute suggestions because there is no way you've tried everything in the area, you can't rank places the best even though you self proclaimed yourself the king of houston.
>>7268393
fuck i love sichuan food. I just wish it wasn't so unhealthy :(((((((((((((((((((((((
>>7275051
They didn't only give one shrimp, that's all that was left.
>>7275365
Can you explain this post?
>>7266405

I went there and there was one place that I really liked: Ruggles Green
Man the nut burger was amazing.
>>7279897
Unrelated
Cafe East 2 on mason road and Asian Too in Katy Mills Mall have some of the best authentic asian food money can buy
>>7280336
Spanish Flowers
Shipley's (The ones in Houston are better than every location I have been to in different city)
Every one should try elevation burger inside the loop and texas brisket out in sugar land for the best fucking burgers man
>>7280837
>elevation burger

also, i've eaten at many expensive places in houston no one is mentioning here. wtf ?
>>7283938
Good
Pappadeaux
Pappasito's
Yia Yia Mary's
Amazon Cafe
Empire Cafe
Agora (for coffee/alcohol)
Star Pizza
Maine-ly Sandwiches
Grande Lux Cafe
Breakfast Klub
Visited Houston last year, whole place had a ghetto vibe to it. Friend told me they took in a lot of the Katrina refugees.
Never going there again.
>>7286192
Where did you stay and what parts did you visit? There are big parts full of thugs and Katrina niggers but you'd probably never see them unless you get really really lost or are visiting someone there. The city is really fucking big and spread out but almost no good restaurants, bars, shops, or attractions are in really bad areas. Maybe you accidentally went through third ward, I can see that happening. It's right next to downtown and U of h is right in the middle of it.
Breakfast Klub
Peli Peli
Pappas Steakhouse
Hugo's
Aladdin's
Caracol
Masraffs
Barnabys
Thai Cottage
Oishii
Luigis
El Real
And a few food trucks(Koagie, Foreign Policy, burger bus etc)
>>7273154
Breakfast is Klub is super fucking overrated. It's not bad, but it's not good enough to warrant the wait, or the staff's rude indifference to all the customers.
I fucking love Oishii though. Very underrated sushi joint that's actually pretty cheap.
>>7286743
Got any places for better Chicken and Waffles?
>>7273095
kingwood here, sup
i just moved back from fort worth and man i realize how bland this area is now, what a shitty void of basically everything.
>>7286935
A lot of the places mentioned in thread are good.
Lola's has good chicken and waffles, but it's not traditional. There's fruit on the waffles and it's a fried chicken breast, not bone in. Still very good.
For more traditional go for Down house. Some of the best classic chicken and waffles.
Also try Liberty kitchen. They do a spicy chicken and waffles. It sounds weird by it's good. They come with pickled jalapenos and a spicy syrup.
I think Barnabys does chicken and waffles, I can't remember for sure.
Anyway, try those.
Del Frisco's
Helen Greek Food and Wine
North Italia
It's been said already but Underbelly is fuckin awesome. Was in Houston for 3 days for work a few years ago and ate there everyday. I still think about it sometimes
Surprisingly there is a lack of Chinatown restaurants.
Chinese:
Fufu's
Peking Cuisine
Mala Sichuan Bistro
Sinh Sinh
Korean:
Jang Guem Tofu
Arirang BBQ
Myung Dong (Bissonnet)
Japanese:
Tiger Den for Ramen
Sushi Miyagi
Izakaya-wa (near Town and Country)
Uchii
Gyu-Kaku
i love this thread literally over 100 new places i am going to map out and try over the next year or so
I know there are 4 million taco trucks in the area but id be interested to hear peoples absolute favorites with exact locations, i am a big fan, any great permanent trucks actually because i know a few good indian trucks ill drop later
>>7289028
theres a really good taco truck at walters rd and fm1960 behind the taco bell, really good fajita and pork and the flour tortillas are homemade
>pic related is pork tacos
>>7286192
>whole place had a ghetto vibe to it
So you literally went to every area of Houston while just visiting?
>>7268174
>Underbelly
>Gatlins
good
>LA Crawfish
Sucks
>>7268193
Rudy's isn't the best BBQ, but they are consistent as fuck.
>>7274538
>Tochy's
Their queso is the shit. Their tacos suck.
>Fat Bao
good
>>7268427
>Mais
That shit hasn't been good since the 90s
>>7270001
>niko nikos
bretty good
>pappadeuxs
I'd eat at Red Lobster before I eat that shit
>>7272787
>Bernies Burger Bus
Their fries and shakes at their brick and mortar are good. The burgers are ok, nothing to go out of your way for.
>>7273128
>Papa Geno's
muh nigga
>>7274429
>The Original Marini's Empanada House
my girl loves that place. i think it's ok.
>>7276075
>Treebeards
Yep
>>7279881
>House of Pies
Did they change owners? The one on westheimer has an all new staff and their food is worse than Dennys.
>Ekko's Greek Deli
Hell yeah.
>>7286535
>Pappas Steakhouse
Best steakhouse in town, imo
>El Real
God damn, will people quit recommending that place?
>>7290785
>>pappadeuxs
>I'd eat at Red Lobster before I eat that shit
all opinions void poorfag
>>7287295
gonna try that place
>>7277331
I've driven past The Nook for probably over 13 years and I've never once thought about going into that place. How's their breakfast?
>>7292648
its good worth a try
>>7289028
Tierra caliente on west Alabama, its next to an ancient icehouse. Hands down the best, grab a few and go next door for a cool one, the sauces are HOT
>>7293975
Will try
>Houston Thread
>no Kellys
It's like none of you are white
Forgot to mention, had the best Fajitas I've ever had at a place near the science museum called Bodegas.
Goodsons Cafe in tomball has one of the best chicken fried steaks
Has anyone tried Allo in Northwest Houston?
>>7279896
hard 8 BBQ is pretty good. Not like 'best of texas' but still a very good place to visit. not too much around the airport itself you will need to go to like grapevine or las colinas
on weekends there is 2 al pastor trucks at the intersection of 1960 and veterans memorial, they stay open till like 3am, hit old city pub around the corner and then walk and grub before your illegal drive home
>pic related, one has mexican pastor stuffed taters and i swear youll wet your panties they good son
Went to The Deck on Fountainview after work for crawfish. Really great seasoning but not spicy enough.
>>7290874
If you like eating reheated frozen food, more power to you. But don't act like one restaurant that serves frozen food and premade sides out of a bag is better than another restaurant that serves frozen food and premade sides out of bag just because one is more expensive.
Tequila Lopez on HWY 6 South and Beechnut is delicious. My sister and I have eaten there for years and always order the same plate: Enchiladas Verdes. Great staff, too. I can't speak for the alcohol, but they have a bar as well.
Pic related
Question: which bars are good in Houston, if you recently were dumped and just want to be alone, have a few drinks, and not be bothered?
I don't want to drink alone in my apartment for good reason
Anyone been to the Scout Bar in Clear Lake? A band I like is opening up for Marty Friedman and I've never been. Is it a dive or pretty nice? How does it compare to Fitzgeralds?
>>7300774
I went a long time ago, I barely remember. I think it's about on par with the fitz, for what it's worth I consider Fitzgerald's fairly nice.
>>7286174
Breakfast Klub is the worst breakfast in Houston. It's a meme restaurant if I've ever seen one and people literally only go there to seem cool for waiting in line for mediocre food in unreasonably huge portions. I hate that that restaurant is so popular and somehow it always makes its way to the tops of "Houston's Best's" lists. It's literally ihop tier.
>>7300725
I don't know which part of town your in but:
Midtown
>Khons Wine Coffee Art
>Munich
>Some bar that starts with Dog, I can't remember the name
>Community
>Leon's Lounge
Heights:
>D&T Drive Inn
>Johnny Gold Brick
>Tall Texan (Divey and cash only)
I hate loud pretentious places. Everything I listed besides Johnny Goldbrick is pretty low-key.
>>7266405
Frank's Pizza on Travis Street
>>7266405
Cheesecake Factory
Why do people suggest chain resturants like Papas, cheesecake factory and other garbage?
might as well include burger king and sonic in these lists.
>>7302153
not everyone is a hipster. It's nice to know which chains are in a city because they aren't everywhere. For example I was shocked to see there was no Moe's Mexican Grill in Austin.
>>7302163
This, the Pappas restaurants are decent and local
