I literally only eat here for breakfast because it's within waddling distance of my place. I rarely eat for lunch. Their breakfast is dirt cheap and delicious. For whatever reason, I always forget this place is cash only when eating lunch because…More »

I've been eating here a lot over my holiday break, so I thought I'd update my review for logistics for those visiting the BK & are unfamiliar with heinous Midtown/4th ward parking. In my original review, I chastised this place for the long lines and…More »

Based on reviews, I went for the great migas plate for $6.49. The breakfast tacos looked delicious, too. But I sort of took the uncomplicated road of "Migas Plate" versus "ummmmm.........tacos.....with .....uhhh.....bacon....and...l et's…More »

Loud, sizzling fajitas immediately make you the celebrity of any restaurant.
Entranced by the billowing smoke and deafening sizzling, your audience of jealous onlookers knows exactly who you are and where you are sitting. I love surveying the tableau…More »

The crepe phenomenon suggests that we're willing to pay an upwards of $5 in general for someone else to dump Nutella and an assortment of fruit into cooked batter, fold it, and serve it to us. In fact, I found myself lining up at 9:45 AM on a weekend…More »

Y'all cray cray. This place is five stars. Great ambiance, a full bar, great food, and good coffee--for Houston, especially. This and Agora are great. Granted, Agora has the added food truck plus and the comfort of an actual parking lot.

Love this for a fourth meal. Gyros, y'all, gotta get EM.
24 hours. Sometimes, that alone will get a place 5 stars. But this place has good Greek food and the… Read more »

Valet. Just...don't even get me started on valet. Just make sure to lock up your prized possessions in your glove compartment box, or in my case, three broken CDs, a few straw wrappers, and insurance card before arriving on the Canopy scene. Ok. So.…More »

Diner food with cheap happy hours. Has bison burgers. Chicken tortilla soup pretty good. They also make a mean meatloaf.
I liked the peach bellini as far as happy hours.
Service usually quick, hence its appeal as a downtown lunch spot except once they…More »

I came here with friends. Broadly speaking, I don't like hookah. I think it's tacky and tastes like candles or burnt potpourri . Sorry. Yes, this is coming from someone who messily devours Egg McMuffins in her car on her way to work, has gas station…More »

I cringed when my dining partner in crime sent me a text about proudly booking Indika with an added "I loooove Indian food, it's my favorite :)." Oh great, acid reflux, a patronizing explanation for every item on the menu, and an emoticon. All wholly…More »

Two stars for always being there, West Gray. All 24 hours.

Please see my previous review for more detail, but as I am subsisting off of Al's Quick Stop during finals, I appreciate being able to eat three meals a days: breakfast taco and 2 hearty gyro sandwiches for less than $13 a day. And I think I waited…More »

A Montrose institution. Has a "health food" spin. Love the bison burger with BBQ sauce and sweet potato fries. The burger comes out nice and juicy. It's easy to dry out a bison burger but this is consistently good.
Ziggyritas pack quite the punch.

Jalapeño bagel is good. Breakfast sandwich is a knockout. Don't know why I just said knockout like I was some loud Food Network personality. I'm not.

Upscale Mexican with exceptional cocktails, desserts, and lovely brunch setting even for a $30-ish buffet.
Good for a fancy-ish but casual dinner or brunch.

STELLA WAS A DIVER: DIVE BARS (30)Interpol throwback aims to tie together my comprehensive list of largely inside-the-loop Houston dive bars. From one irony-appreciating, people-watching, thrill-seeking-yet-no-fri lls-seeking bar-goer to another, please enjoy the dirt-cheap drinks. |

Upscale Drive-Thrus (5)Put on your finest jammy jams, because these non-fast-food eateries offer drive-thrus.I'm sorry, but I've reached a point in my life, or rather, a nadir, where I don't consider Chick-Fil-A to be fast food. |
Texicans Unite (12)Tex-Mex or Just Mexican food. |
Keep on Truckin' - Food Trucks (18)I dig mobile munchies, they're like rogues on wheels because most cities try to pass all these ridiculous ordinances to limit them & they keep coming strong. Moreover, they're usually the product of some local broke 20-something's dreams or some former distinguished chef's solo career. They usually lead to a brick & mortar restaurant if they achieve popularity. They're also all around the bars at 2AM just when you need them. Sure, some are annoyingly cash only. |
Aus10, TX (24)By no means an exhaustive review of Texas' prettiest city (with rivalry from Lajitas, TX & Big Bend National Park near Alpine, TX). |
